Thoro aro many wayB of uinnagiug

to do is to carry on his farm success
fully, support his familr, pay his ducs,
kcep from ruuning in dobt, nnd, if pos
sible, incrcaso his proporty and incomc,
n truly diflicult matter theso days. If
a fartuer looks ovcr his exponso ac
couut, ho will find that tho thrce largcst
itcms, as a rulo, are for help, ferlilizors
and feed. Henco tho study of evory
ono bhould be how ho can best lcssen
theso thrco chicf itcms of expense.
To study he must uso his hcad, and at
this day it is not tho farmer that can
do tho most hard work who succecds
tho bcst, but tho one who combincs his
work with study and thoughl. Wo
must say richt hero that tho man who
does not iucludo in hia fall work tho
reading of somo of tho bcst farm pa
pers is making a great mistnke. Prob
nbly most of tho readers of tho Watcii
MAN who aro farmers do read ono or
moro of tho agricultural journals, but
we know that thero are many farmers
Who do not sce a farm paper from ono
year'a end to another. Theso long
ovenings aro just tho tirae to read up on
your business, and you will find it a
great help to read with an interroga
tion poiut in your head. Think of tho
threo exponBes wo havo named, and,
whon you liud a suggestion which ap
plies, remember it. It is a great won
der to us how any muu can think of
fnrming without keeping well posted
in his work byireading tho papors. Wo
find so many things of value every
week as we look over tho farm papers
that wo wonder what kind of ideaB men
have wbo think it don't piy to take a
farm paper.
Tako your fall work. Do you do it
ns your grandfather did, or in the most
modorn way? Do you know what tho
best way is, for inBtance, of handling
tho mnnure which has accumulnted this
Benson? Aro you going to put it in
amall heaps on n fleld for tho wintor,
or in ono or two large ones? Pcrhaps
you make n long low henp, but why do
you not eprend it right whero you want
it next spring? Havo you ever tricd
Beeding down your potato ground in
tho fall, or do you Btill grow oata and
soed down with them? Many farmers
grow no oats or small grain. Others
cut grain when grcon for hay. Havo
you studied out which wny is best for
you? Which ia best for your land, to
plow in tho fall, or to do it all in tho
eprlng? Ilow many farmorB havo lit
tle or no doflnito plans about thoir
work, working thoir farms as their
wivea do their crazy quilts or tho " hit-or-miBS
" rugs. Businoas mon do not
manngo bo. If thoy did, they would
bo Bpoedlly pushed aside.
Many Vermont farmers will do lots
of uselesB work this fall. For inatanco,
a fow ycars ngo theExpcriment Stntion
printed thc results of n caroful test of
four ways of prcBerving and using the
corncrop. Tho widest publicity was
givon to theso results, andyct thoir les
Bon goes unheeded by many. Tho les
son of thc uxpcrimcnts wns Ui!s: That
an acro of corn put inlo tho ailo, cars
nnd all, would yiold 99 worth of but
ter. When tho enrs woro picked off
and tho slnlka putinto tho ailo, nn acro
produced only 870 worth of buttor, tho
butter boing reckoned at twenty-flvo
cenlB. JJero is n eaving of $20 por
ncro with buttor nt this prico, or n snv
ing ol 13 with butter at eixtcon conts
per pound, whon tho wholo corn is put
iuto tho silo instcad of husking tho cars
nnd pulting in tho stovor. Yot you
will bco this dono on many farms
throughout tho state. According to
thcse cxpcrlmonts, it doos notjpay to
husk corn hero in Vermont, otpccially
if you aro going to hiro it ground. Tho
acro of corn Btookcd and fcd to tho
cows cut up ahort, cnrs and all.mado 3G0
pounds of buttor, whilo tho corn stalks
with tho oars pickcd, husked, ground
with tho cob and fcd with tho stnlks
nnd husks, cutupln a feod cuttor.raado
only 810 pounds or buttor. In othor
words, tho labor of husking, taking to
nnd from tho rnill, cost of grindlng,
etc, cau8cd n loss of forty-four pounds
oi Duitor. jno up-lo-dnto fnrming about
that. And tho man who husks hia
acro of corn, drios it, gots it ground
and fcods moal nnd stnlks, gots about
cighty-two pounds less of buttor than
thc man who pute his ncro ofjcorn,cars
and all, into tho sllol What do you
think of that? Ilow do you tnko caro of
your corn? So ns to get all thoro 1b in
it, or so as to loso about onc-fourth of
it? Por that is whnt it prncticnlly
nmounts to. Whero corn-stnlks nro
handled and fcd in grandfathor'8 wny
(nnd no disrcspect is intended, for ho
never drcained of 8ilos,nnd foed-cutlcrs
woro n scnrco article), thoro is really n
greater loss thnn tlio stntion flgures
show. Por whon corn-stnlks nro fcd to
cnttle in tho ordinary way many of
them aro wasted, whilo in tho station
oxpcrlments thoy woro nearlyall enton.
Tho expcriment was cnrofully plnnned
and well carried out, and is worth thou
snuds of dollnra to tho farmers of tho
stato.
Can any man afford to loso tho vnluo
of from eighty to ninoty pounds of but
ter on cach acro of corn, to say nolhing
of tho labor and cxpenso of huskiug
and grinding? ;Figuro up what thnt
amountof butter is worth nnd think it
over while you aro husking your corn
this fall, and seo if you had not bottor
get out Bomc lumbcr and build a slb.
