Uncommon Sense
By John
Trie most common example ol this
brings us back to the doctors. Peo-
ple are always going to them for ad-
vice. And they are always disregard-
ing that advice when it is not just
what they hoped it would be.
We see the same thing upon the
ocean. A landlubber will hire a sailor
to pilot him and then quarrel with the
pilot when he refuses to put out to
sea when a squall is threatening. A
similar situation often arises on land
when a tenderfoot finds fault with his
mountain guide who may appear over-
cautious.
* # *
I have never been awed by the so-
called expert. When a group of them
get together the result of their delib-
erations may or may not be chaotic.
They often band into little hierarch-
ies and look upon themselves as a
class superior to the average l’un of
lowly humans.
But, after all, they usually have
some qualifications for their jobs. If
they did not know more about their
specialties than other people they
could not pose as experts indefinitely.
And when a person voluntarily
seeks their services it seems to me
that he should consider pretty care-
fully what they have to say.
If their advice is stupid and non-
sensical it should, of course, be disre-
garded.
But when you pay for a thing you
usually like to get your money’s
worth. And when you seek expert
aidvice and then disregard it you are
paying for something and not getting
the benefit of it.

-O----
IN DEFENSE OF EXPERTS
A S EVERYBODY with a grate of
common sense knowa, expert*
are not infallible. However expert
they may be, they remain human be-
ings.
But the advice of an expert, when
jit is confined to his own particular
iline of endeavor, is often most useful.
If an expert did not know more
-about his own special study than oth-
er people, he could hardly qualify as
Ian expert
There are many experts. Doctors,
or at least some of them, are experts
in the art of healing. Lawyers are
usually presumed to be learned In the
law. Manufacturers, prize-fighters,
ministers—all are more or less skill-
ful in the vocation which they pursue.
More so, at least, than the general
run of humanity.
And humanity is continually obliged
to call upon them for their services.
The expert lawyer gets prescriptions
from the expert doctor. And the ex-
jpert doctor gets his instrument* from
j the expert tool maker.
• • e
1 How, here Is a rather striking
| thing:
! A naan will voluntarily seek the ad-
j vice of an expert in whose ability he
[has confidence, and pay well for it.
I And then he will utterly disregard
'the advice that he has sought and
paid for. ________

Bweet clover should he grazed so

A profitable practice Is to give lit-
tle pigs grain in addition to their
mother’s milk after they are three
weeks old, and that can best be done
by means of self-feeders in a pig

For hogs, alfalfa is the best pas-
ture obtainable, furnishing a maxi-
mum of ideal forage throughout the
season, even in dry weather. As
many as 20 shotes can be carried on

Seed wheat may be treated for
smut with copper carbonate dust and
stored until seeding time. Use plen-
ty of copper carbonate and be sure
that the wheat stays In the treater

A thorough examination of the In-
terior of the poultry house for mites
and bed bugs may reveal legions oi
these unwelcome guests. If they are
present, there is a good steady job
ahead getting rid of them. Roosts,
roost supports, and rear walls should
be painted with pure carbolineum,
using two or three, applications li
necessary.
