The old adage which says, “Experience is the best teacher,”
is conceded by most to be very true. The sad part of it is that
the life span of man is not long enough for him to depend
solely on his own experiences. If we are to learn much in our
lives we must depend to a great extent on the experiendes of
others.
Education is merely the accumulated recorded experiences
of mankind since the time man commenced to keep some rec-
ord of his deeds. The modern doctor gained his knowledge
from the lifetime study of a million different individuals.
What is true of the medical profession is true of all other pro-
fessions.
We, who are farmers, are as dependent on others for our
education as are people of any other profession. There are
men all over the world who are doing the same kind of work
we are doing and just as w'e are finding new things daily, so
are they. In modern times most everything new in agriculture
is to be found in periodicals or textbooks.
If iwe wish to keep abreast of the times wje must read and
study. A doctor who does not know of the new things in his
profession will not thrive. The same is true of the farmer. To
be a good farmer I think every one should have at least a few
books pertaining to farming.
I would like to list a few books w-hich I believe are good for
everyone to have.
1. Henry’s “Feeds and Feeding.” This is a book that com-
piles the results of thousands of experiments with different
kinds of feeds used on most all kinds of domestic animals. It
contains chapters on most all kinds of feeds; chapters on their
value fed to different kinds of animals, chapters on the care
and feeding of beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, hogs and horses,
tables of feed analysis, a comparison of their values as feecL
and fertilizers; rations already 'worked out to meet most any
need.
2. Soils and Crops by Van Slyke.
3. Diseases of Cattle—published by the Department of A-
griculture, Washington. D. C.
4. Breeding Farm Animals by F. R. Marshall. To the dairv
farmer, I recommend the periodical, “The Hoards Dairyman”
as an outstanding dairy paper.
“The Jersey Bulletin” is an excellent breed paper for Jer-
sey breeders.
There are numerous other books and periodicals that might
Ibe included but these I have mentioned are a good nucleus for
a start.

Abraham Lincoln, l.y great perseverance which Involved tedloue
pouring over books by the light ot a pine knot tire, got an edu-
cation that led him to the front as a statesman.
His methods worked, but they were secured at a grcat
cost . . . Many farmers have succeeded in spite
archaic ways . . . they have come to the front . . .
but at a high price.
New feeding methods are making farmers and stock
raisers more profit and many farmers are taking advan-
tage of these new methods to secure more profits.
