WILLIAM J. OAYNOK AT HIS DKHK
fore Mr. tiiiyiior was able to resume
Ills duties, ami he carried the bullet
to his irrave.
Ifis death likewise was Hoselv as
aoclatcd with travel «*n the high seas
ami came at a time when lie had
thrown oil the mantle of toil and was
speeding on his way to ICurope.
Mr. (Jaynor's m-tive polit leal ca-
reer Is well known, and. although he
took pride in his achievements. lie was
never so happy and contented as when
at home on his farm at St. James. N Y
Here lie cast aside all of the dignity
of his position and became the simple
son of t he soil.
As a farmer Mayor Havnor would
talk by the hour. He made a study
of other tilings in which he was Inter-
ested. He knew his farm from a
practical ami scientific standpoint, for
he had labored at that occupation from
his early boyhood up, learning from
nature and observation.
It was possible to study Mayor (lay
nor to the best advantage on his farm.
It was more of a home to him than
any other place in whU h he ever lived.
In the midst of his fields the simple
and direct side of his nature predom-
inated.
He was a keen student of Seneca.
Kplctetus and other of the ancient
stoics ami often declared that many '
of tlie gravest actions of his life were I
Inspired by these famous philosophers.
Mayor (Jaynor's view of death was '
given In a letter to his sister written |
shortly after the attempt upon his life.
The mayor then wrote:
I was not a bit afraid to die If that was '
Ood's will of me 1 said to myself, just I
*• well now as a few years from now. •
No one who contemplates the immensity j
of Almighty God and of his universe and
his works and realizes what an atom he
1* In It all can fe.tr to die in this flesh-
yea, even though It were true that he
were to be dissolved forever Into the In-
finity of matter and mind from which h«
came.
Mobedly, Mo. Sept. 11.—Not the
| soil, but the matter in which it is
\Khandled, is the secret of success iu
agriculture. That is the idea that
i tiie United States government in
■ co-operation with the farm mange-
ment department of the University
I of Missourii is seeking to instill into
the minds of the farmers of tlis state.
Prof. I) H Doane of Columbia is
the state leader it was largely thro-
ugh his efforts that the county farm
adviser movement, which has gained
favor so ra pdly was launched. For
several years he ahs been advsing
farmers in various parts of this state
as to the best methods of obtaining
results. At present he has more
than fifty farmers on his list. Four
years ago a government demonstrat-
ion station was instituted in the Oz-
arlcs. A year later three other stat-
ions were established. The owners
agreed to alow Prof. Doane to have
absolute drection of the work. The
r suit sare beginnng to show.
The experience of J. M. Pearly,
•who owns 240 acres two miles
northeast of Mtfberly is a striking ex.
ampVe of tn • efficiency of the plan.
Mr. Perley was a railroad engineer,
running into Kansas City lor fifteen
years. He had little or no cxi erience
in farming, but the call of the soil
was in his blood. He was born on a
farm as was liis wife and they both
wanted to return to country life. The
farm he now occupies was on the tuar
ket It had bn tilld indifferently
for more than sixty years, and was
in badly inn down condition. Mr.
Perley paid $24 an acre for lt <> acres
and $44 an acre for the remaining
sixty
This was seven v ars ago. He now
values his farm at $20000. Four years
he farmed at a loss, scarcely making
a living. Then he caled for aid. He
ttiad made up his mind to t.st scienti-
fic agriculture. His neighbors rid-
iculed the idea. But Mr. Perley
had the courage of his convictions, j
He placed the farm in the hands of
(Professor Doane. That made hint
the butt of many jokes in the neigli-
liood But he followed the direction
of the "scientific feller" and won
out.
How did he do it?
The answer is easy. Mr. Perley
put everything he raised right back
on the farm. Not a particle of grain
of any kind was grown for the mar- i
ket
l^ast y« ar Mr. Uerley's gross in-
come from his farm was $2*2000, in
■eluding a living for his family. Of
ths suiu his expenses were in the j
neighborhood of $tiOU. The largest
itme was lor hired he bp. One negro
does al lthis. He .receives $36 a mon
th and house rent, and he is kept
busy twelve .months in the year.
There was a meeting on Mr. Per- j
ley's farm yesterday. Nearly one '
hundred neighbors were present. Pro- '
fessar Doane was in charge and
every field was visited. Questions J
were asked and answered. The
neibhbors are now convinced that •
scientific farming is the salvation of
the industry.
Mr. Pedley told of his experiences '
with his farm. His auditors knevr
. conditions on the place when he pur- :
chased it and they gave his story '
careful attention.
"This is an age of science." Mr. '
Perley saidt "We all realize that
when we call U|>on a Doctor or a
Lawyer. The modern improvements
offers a convincing argument to the
fact. Then why should not the far-
mers admit it? Since I became coo-
vinced that Selenitic farming pays
1 have found tituit fanming is jolly
fun. It is'nt nec-esary for me to work.
1 do the planning and a negro does
all the labor.
There is'nt any grain raised on
this farm ofr sale. My crop this
year consits. of corn, cow-pea^ soy
beans alfalfa and rape with enough
oats to feed horses and mules. To-
morrow 1 will have a carload of
sheep here from Kansas City. One
hundred and twenty live laimlbs will
be fed for ninety days and sold. One
hundred ewes wil be kept. The sheep
will be turned loose in the different
fieldss and wll thrive on the variety
of feed Offered them.
"Three years ago I paid $273 for
fil't yewes. The first year my sale®
amounted to $285 the second year to
$340 and last year with a bad mar-
ket that caused me ,a loss of at least
$211(1,1 received $258. Old sheep bro-
ught $75 tnore and with home con-
sumption figured, the $273 brought
ime nearly $11000. his year 1 am
going into the ibusines more extensiv-
ely, and the profits will be much
larger as I now have plenty of feed.
On twelve acres of the land that 1
paid $24 an acre for 'bv growing
corn, cow peas and soy beans for
hogs 1 made $44 an acre the first
yeari $44 an acre the third year and
$45 an acre the last year. This
help to buiid eight miles of hog fen-
ce that I have on this place.
Mr Perley sows hos cowpeas and
and soy beans with bis corn. The
combination works well together he
finds, and as a result his fields are
now green, instead of yellow as are
those of his neighbors, .
On one field that had not been
farmed for nearly thirty years Mr.
Perley has cor nthat experts in the
crowd said would yield forty bushels
to the acre. With favorable weather
conditions one hundrede bushels to
tihe acre would have been a low es-
timate' the yagreed.
A careful record Is kept of every
field and the ylnld. Also a record of
all work done. The crops are ro-
tated under the d I rot ti on of Pro-
fessor Doane. By allowing the sheep
and hogs to graze the crops th? fer-
tility of the soil is retained and the
rotation adds the qualities necessary
to keep the land in good shape.
Mr. Perley has two ponds on his
farm. One of them retains plenty of
waiter for al Ipunpoaeg In all seasons.
He also k ups fifty goats not because
they bring any financial return but
to ke p the pasture in a timber tract
cleared.
J. E. Hall of Lamonte, Mo. is an-
other who lias a govrnun nt demonstra
tion farm, lie was a visitor at Mr.
Parley's meeting, having acconvjittined
Professor Doane from a simlliar af-
fair on lis own farm.
Mr Hall goes further than Mr.
Perley does in his records. He does
not employ any hired help but every
hour that he puts in at work is
charged at fifteen cents. His wife's
time and that of the oldest son is
charged at the same rate. Two young
er boys figured at twelve and seven
cents an hour. Every fifteen minute
period is accounted for1 and each
nigilt members of the family figure
out their "time". At the end of the
week a report is made to Professor
Doane, and at the end ofthe month
the ti glides are tabulated and sent
'back to Mr. Hal.
work was eagerly received and Pro-
fessor Doane was Hooded with ap-
plications for asisstanee. He now
has more farms on his list than tie
can handle satisff'torly but with the
growth of the farm advisers move-
ment throughout the state scientific
farming will soon come into its own.
LIVE STOCK EXHIBITION
\t Muskogee Fair Worth Going Far
to See.
l^ast year Mr. llall netted 11 per
cent on a $10,000 investment1 which
is the valuation he places on his 142-
acre farm. His fanning methods are
similar to those of Mr. Perley. The
same system of rotation crops s fol-
lowed, and has iproved successful.
Tthe only grain sold by Mr. llall '
last, year was 142 bushels of seed corn I
for which he received $400, With 1
'this money he purchased 800 bushel
for feeding purposes.
! At both meetings picnic dinners
were served an dthe guests were tak-
en over every filed. One feature of
| the scientific system is that the fields I
are designated by letters.

get a good wagon. If chance steers
hi in to an I H C dealer, well and
good. That is his good fortune. If not, ha
will probably be in the wagon market again
j ears before he should be. But the economical
farmer will sttdy and compare different makes;
find out in advance which wagon will give him
best service, and consider such questions as
company standing and reputation. When ha
has finished he will buy an IHC wagon.

Here are only two of the many features that
contribute to the making of IHC wagon
reputation. 1—Air-drying of lumber. Kvery
stick of wood used —hickory and oak for
wheels and axles, bay poplar for box sides,
long leaf yellow pine for bottoms — lies drying
in open sheds from two to three years, saving
all its resinous saps, toughening, seasoning"
gaining elasticity, as only air-dried lumber
does. Kiln-drying quickly evaporates the
sap, leaves the wood inelastic, brittle, and
weak —ruins it, in short. 2—Thorough in-
spections. Every IHC wagon, passes many
rigid inspections by experts. Seldom does any
flaw in material, or defect in shaping, ironing,
and assembling get by without detection!
When ready it must come up to IHC stand-
ards.
Weber and Columbus wagons have wood
gears; New Bettendorf and Steel King have
steel gears. Look the line over at the local
