There will be some changes in our 
plans tbi> year. Thomas has been mar¬ 
ried and will set up for himself on a 
dairy farm. He will, no doubt, help us 
in selling the crop, but. we shall have to 
arrange our fqrces for production. I am 
not sure yet which one of several plans I 
shall take up. The labor problem is a 
difficult one to solve, particularly on such 
a place as ours. The truth is that the 
labor problem is so hard to handle that 
we must all do more or less changing of 
our plans for production and selling. I 
am going to abandon all market garden¬ 
ing crops like tomatoes, sweet corn, mel¬ 
ons, peppers and the like. We shall in¬ 
crease our strawberry acreage, both for 
plants and fruit, and grow about 50,000 
asparagus roots. The vineyard will be 
enlarged, and we shall take good care of 
the apple and peach trees. In the hill or¬ 
chards the plan will be to plow every 
three years—in the Fall, if possible. The 
next Spring break up the furrows with a 
spring-tooth or disk and put in a light 
seeding of oats with Alsike clover. The 
oats are cut early for hay and the Alsike 
left as long as it is fit, cutting early so as 
to prevent seeding. All the Alsike cut¬ 
ting will be left in the orchard. One of 
my rye fields will be cut early for fodder. 
Then the "round will be plowed and 
planted to Soy beans or Sudan grass in 
drills, with rye seeded at the last culti¬ 
vation. We plan for two acres, more or 
less, of potatoes, planted in hills, with 
chicken manure on top of the hill, and all 
old sod goes into corn. Our chicken bus- 
ness will be increased, not so much for 
Winter egg production as for the sale of 
high-class pullets and cockerels in the 
* all.. I think there would be some profit 
in milk goats, but our folks do not seem 
able to overcome their prejudice. They 
do not like a goat—though they never 
saw a good one. We are obliged to make 
these new adjustments in order to fit pro¬ 
duction to labor. The children are pass¬ 
ing out into active life and before long 
will be seeking homes of their own. If 
Hope Farm were located back in the 
country, far from town, where it would 
ever remain a farm, I should plan differ¬ 
ently, and for a permanent outcome. As 
it is our farm is apparently right in the 
track of the great Hood of people who will 
sweep away from Manhattan Island when 
the tunnels under the river are completed. 
I bus our 120 acres can hardly be ex¬ 
pected to remain as productive land, and 
ultimately it must be surrounded by build¬ 
ing lots. I cannot tell how T long it will 
be before the wave strikes us, but the end 
seems inevitable, and we plan our farm¬ 
ing so as to be ready for it. All these 
tilings will have a happy ending if we ac¬ 
cept them as they come with good spirit. 
One of our girls, away at school, has red 
hair. It started a true mahogany, but 
tune has changed it to a beautiful shade. 
Ihe girls had a “candy pull” the other 
night. At school, as you know, there 
must be a high standard for everything, 
and when they got to pulling the candy 
they wanted to know when to stop. The 
teacher thought for a moment to find 
some appropriate and well understood 
standard, and finally said : 
, . till it’s the color of Kathleen’s 
hair!” 
►So you see if we only stick to things 
with good heart they may become a stand¬ 
ard. This girl wanted to cut her hair off, 
but as it was put up to me for final judg¬ 
ment, I said, No ! No !! No ! !' hwc 
Remedies for Boils 
I am bothered with boils on my neck 
and face, also my eyes. Sometimes I 
Five good luck in having them leave me 
without any great amount of bathing and 
poultice. The last two I did not bother 
and suffered them out. I think I got rid 
of those in less time than those I have 
fussed with, and lost time and money 
by also. If you know of any method with 
winch I could get rid of the pest, let me 
know of it. r K 
Derby, Conn. 
I know of no single method by which 
boils can be gotten rid of, since they 
arise from different causes, and pre¬ 
ventive treatment should be directed to 
the cause in each individual case. 
A boil is caused by local infection, the 
infective agent obtaining access to the 
deeper layers of the tissues along ;he 
path of a hair and its root. If the in¬ 
fection is sufficiently severe, and the re¬ 
sistive power of the tissues sufficiently 
lacking, death of a localized area of tissue 
follows and a “core” is formed, this, later, 
being discharged through an ppening in 
the skin,_ with subsidence of the accom¬ 
panying inflammation. 
Crops of boils may indicate some con¬ 
stitutional trouble which lessens resist¬ 
ance to infection and one subject to them 
should Lave a physical examination that J 
includes the kidneys, for diabetes, Bright’s * 
disease and other constitutional disorders I 
sometimes underlie susceptibility to boils. ■ 
Sometimes. _ too, there is need for such * 
pleasant tissue reeonstruetives as cod I 
liver oil, iron, etc. ■ 
Painting a beginning boil with succes- I 
sive layers of collodion may abort it, and 1 
lancing by a physician under proper anti- | 
septic precautions will frequently put an 
early stop to its course. There are * 
numerous household remedies, but I know | 
of none that is sure fire. m. b. d. ■ 
C LETRAC’S crawler construction, its suitable size, great pulling power, 
simplicity and economy of operation all appeal to the farmer. The 
broad tracks with which Cletracs are equipped furnish plenty of traction 
in any kind of soil—no miring down, no “digging in.” 
Cletracs, because of the broad tracks on which they travel, are noted 
for their splendid work in seed-bed fitting. Cletracs do not pack the soil. 
The purchase of a Cletrac is an investment in a crawler tractor of a 
size best suited to the all-round power requirements on the farm. 
Five millions of dollars in equipment and a big factory constituting 
upwards of five acres of floor space under roof signify the element of 
permanency back of Cletracs. 
Cletracs, with these and many other advantages of crawler construction, 
are now offered at the above new low price. 
Write for catalog and let ns tell you more about the use of Cletracs.

“EASY FRUIT” 
they say— 
Top-Dressing 
Talk No. 6 
The gain a fruit crop makes when the trees are well fed 
is worth many times the cost of the fertilizer. 
Apples. Trees need nitrogen, especially those in sod, and 
respond to it with higher yields and better quality. Prof. R. 
B. Cruickshank of Ohio State University raised the yield 
from 6/2 bushels per tree to 15*/2 bushels of a better grade 
by applying Sulphate of Ammonia. 
Peaches. Nitrogen applications increase yield and pro¬ 
mote vigor. Mr. L. B. Veeder of Baldwin, Ga., who regu¬ 
larly fertilizes his 12,000 trees, reports that Arcadian Sul¬ 
phate put on late in February enabled trees to hold the fruit 
through a severe freeze. 
Grapes. Whether you produce grapes to be used fresh or 
for raisins, your vineyard needs nitrogen and will respond to 
its use. Mr. F. H. Telkamp of Parlier, Calif., applied 
Arcadian Sulphate to his vines and made an increase of 
2,200 pounds of raisins per acre.
