That elusive something called style cannot beemade in a factory.
Good tailoring --the draping and cutting and modeling of cloth
—is an Art, nothing less,
Every good merchant tailor believes this with all his soul.
He knows it from his own year's experience, patience and toil as
a craftsman. He knows that merely to fit is but a small part of
a good tailor's art. The right sort of clothes—the clothes you want—
appeal as much through fitness as through fit,
Through mi air of distinction and elegance a good tailor can
express the best there is in you. Ho can make your clothes bespeak
class. He can preserve individuality. He can give personality a
chance. You want such clothes and they can be had la only one
way—they must be out and made expressly for you, from faultless
fabrics, by that artist of merchants—a merchant tailor. These are
tailoring facts. In neglecting them you wrong opportunity.

REPLANNING A FARM.
Pointe That Must Be Borne in. Mind
When Change le So ughk.
In "Replanning a Farm For Profit,"
the title of farmers' bulletin No. 370,
issued by, the United States depart-
ment of a,grieniture, the matter of
changing the type of agriculture on a
farm when the old Is found to be no
longer profitable Is treated. The bulle-
tin says:
Habit frequently continues .a type of
farming In a community long after
that typo has become unprofitable.
Wheat farming on fertile virgin• soil is
usually profitable, but there are many
instances in the United States where
farmers have continued to grow wheat
for a number of years after it had
ceased to be a profitable crop. The
same Is true of cotton. A two year ro-
tation of corn and oats has been con -
Muted in portions of tbe corn belt not
withstanding the fact that it is often
unprofitable, little or no money being
made on either crop. Frequently these
unprofitable types of farming continue
through a series of years or uutil the
property changes hands or new meth-
ods are introduced. The farmer finds
it bard to change a lifelong babit.
A man who has grown up with the
agriculture of a community is slow to
believe that the ,lupe of farming be
has followed and which was at one
time profitable bas at Last become un.
suited to his conditions. It is no small
task to think out and change his long
used type to some better kind of farm-
ing, "There are several reasons why
such a change Is difficult. It may
mean a new line of equipment. Build -
legs may need modification or fences
must be rearranged. It may mean the
introduction of commercial fertilizers
or of more or different live stock on
the farm. It may mean that money
will have to be borrowed if the pro-
posed changes are effected. Further-
more, the change may not succeed. At
best the taking up of a new line of
farming requires a readjustment of the
usual ways of thinking and doing, a
thing difficult in itself and requiring
considerable timeto accomplish.
, Notwithstanding habit may set the
farmer In his ways, altered conditions
and lessened yield and income may
compel him to change his system or
go out of business. To what shall he
change? How shall he go about it?
What typo of farming is likely to
prove more profitable than the kind he
is now following? What additional
capitol is necessary to institute a new
and "better system? These are the
questions that confront him. They are
difficult to answer. With pencil and
paper in hand he may estimate the re-
turns that may reasonably be expected
by introducing more crops that build
up the land, by growing more of the
crop that is bringing him in the great-
est amount. of money, by giving more
attention to the live stock that has
been found to pay best and the like.
If in these calculations he meets
with difficulty because of a lack of
definite information as to what may be
reasonably expected when improved.
methods are applied in the culture of
a crop or in the handling of stock he
may write to the agricultural college
or the board of agriculture or the agri-
cultural experimeut station of his own
state or to the United States depart-
ment of agriculture for help. It is
the business of these institutions to
discover and gather facts relative to
the science, practice and business of
agriculture for the benefit of the farm-
er and particularly for the farmer who
wits to improve his methods of farm-
ing. The 'agricultural press also un-
dertakes to aid the farmer in the so-
lution of problems of this cliaiacter.
In addition to these sources, a few
private firms have been established
whose business it Is to furnish expert
advice oil farm management for a con-
sideration.
Not always, however, are the institu-
tions just mentioned prepared to give
the farmer information on a plan cov-
ering his whole farm, The expert
dairyman cares to give advice only on
dairying, the entomologist only on in-
sects and spraying, the agronomist
only on field crops, the pathologist
only on plant diseases, the shepherd
only on sheep. Not many care to at-
tempt to eo•ordlnate all the manifold
interests of the farm into a single
Comprehensive farm plan, and yet this
is exactly what the farmer must do
every day of his life if he would get
the most out of his farm and make
farming pay.
The farmer Is not simply tt corn
farmer or a wheat grower or a cattle
breeder or aretheep breeder or a pout -
try raiser, but often all of these and
More combined. His farce, therefore,
must be planned with reference to all
of these operations and the harmoni-
ous dovetailing together of the differ-
ent parts. In replanning his farm for
profit the farmer must see all these
different problems In a comprehensive
way at the outset, omit the features
that do not pay and strengthen those
that do.
Fortunately many of our agricultural
colleges today are co-ordinating the
work of their different departments
and giving cotttsee In farm manage-
ment, and 'usually suggestions can be
obtained from these sources relative
to the general ntanagentent of the

It is to tell him bow to succeed is law,

This is often quite true with refer-
ence to plans made for a particular
year. But when the plans are based
on average condttious for a long se-
ries of years then the objections clo
not hold, for, while we cannot tell
What may happen during any partieu-
tar season, we can foretell with eon-
siderable accuracy what the average
conditions will be over a series, say,
of tee years. The whole business of
insurance is based on the reliability of
averages. It cannot be foretold just

With much certainty about how many
persons cut of the thousand will die.
Plana for tbe farm Likewise roust rep-
resent and be based on average condi-
tions and not on single years. The
farm, plan must be made for a period
of years and not for a single year.
In replanning a farm it is essential
that a few fundamental points in
farming be kept constantly in mind;
First—The plan should provide a
reasonable reward for the labor and
capital invested.
Second.—The fertility of the farm
should be maintained or increased.
Third.—The plan must be suited to
the eapabilities of the owner for car-
rying it out.
It is assumed that. In order to replan
a farm for profit it is necessary to
consider the eapabilities of the farmer
to put the new plan into effect. This
in general will render it necessary to
recombine the phases of farming with
which he is already familiar or to
bring in new features which are not
very dissimilar to the ones he is al-
ready accustomed to.
Judging Corn Seeds.
One of the first points a judge of
corn should give attention to is the
seed condition of samples. Is the
germ sound, and will it produce a
good plant? .A. germination test is the
best means of settling these questions,
but unfortunately menet be employed
while one is judging corn shows. The
farmer. should test every ear he plants.
If the germ is slender and small the
plant is likely to lack vitality. Thin
seeds tapering to their attachment pro-
duce weak germs, and consequently
ears with sure seeds must be discrim-
A GOOD TT1F or CORN .KEttxr.L.
Mated against iu scoring exhibits. The
seed should be deep, but it must also
be of medium width and thickness, for
upon this depend the size of the germ
and the amount of food stored in the
seed ter the early maintenance of the
plant. But sometimes seeds of good
width and thickness have small germs
and should therefore be rejected in fa-
vor of seeds of the same form, but
with larger germs.
Badly matured seeds sometimes pre-
sent small, blister-like eminences over
the germ, due to a separation of the
cuticle from its attachment. Again, if
the whole area over the germ is deeply
sunken it indicates lack of maturity
and consequent excessive shrinkage.
Failure of the grain to separate readi-
ly from the cob Is Another indication
of lack of ripeness. A brown or pink
discoloration about the germ or the at-
tached end of the seed is very objec-
tionable, as is also the presence of
mold or rotten seeds.
Salt For the Animals.
Salt is necessary to the health and
thrift of domestic animals, and they
should have it In winter as well as in
summer. They need more of it proba-
bly during the period of abundant suc-
culent feed, but the animal system re-
quires more or less of It all the time.
A good plan Le to keep salt in shel-
tered boxes where the steel: tan get at
it at will. This is a safeguard against
neglect, and, being accustomed to it at
pleasure, there in no danger that too
much 'will be taken.
The Asparagus Beetle.
The asparagus beetle is a trouble-
some pest and hard to fight. Olean
cutting, especially in ridge culture,
keeps them well under control in
spring, but considerable harm la done
later on by elugs or larvae. Poultry
aro very fend of these beetles, and a
i'ew fowls will soon capture the mita
tared insects it allowed in a garden
bed.
«o. .- ..- ._.
Cement As Felice Posts.
The increasing scarcity and value of
wood in the United States has driven
the farmer and others to the use of
concrete for fence -poste, It appears
from a report upon the eubjeet re-
cently issued by the Department of
.Agrieultnre, that the fnktial cost of
fence posts of this natetortal le not
mush greater than wood, and that
their durability eounter-baletuaee this
initial cost.
