" WORKING FORCE.” 
On our first page, you will find a picture of a 
working force on a small Georgia farm. That 
one little steer must carry his master on his back 
first of all. Naturally, after doing that, there 
won’t be much of a load possible. One barrel con¬ 
taining a second edition of the farmer is about all 
that he can handle. While that may be a very 
valuable load in one sense, there isn’t much imme¬ 
diate profit in it. The working force must be im¬ 
proved and strengthened before there can be a 
more profitable load in that wagon. We just call 
youi' attention to this in an off-hand way, before 
the spring work really opens. If you are sitting 
down on your working force—like that man in the 
picture—you would better hop right off and walk.

leave the boy at home. And now, while on the 
“ working-force ” question, webring forward this
