grown up with thorns and thistles
and weeds and grass overrun.
According to Solomon the farmer
who fails to properly care for his
land and crops is without under-
standing and is slothful. What a
charge to bear; Slothful and
without understanding.
We cannot believe that the far-
mer who loves the farm and the
work thereof will ever permit the
tares to take the place of growing
crops, and thorns and thistles to
cover his field. We do not believe
that failure on the farm is as
much chargeable to slothfulness
as to carelessness. Men who do
not love the farm and the work
required to maintain it can never
hope to succeed on the farm, and
the sooner they abandon it for
other avocations the better it will
be for both them and the farm.
But men who enjoy farm life and
the labor incident thereto are
those who bring success to their
efiorts and deserve the distin
guishing title of successful far-
mers.

The Successfn! Farmer.
The editor of Texas Farm and
Fireside undertakes to describe
the successful farmer as follows.
The country recognizes but two
classes of farmers in this country,
viz, the good farmer and the poor
farmer, or the successful farmer
and the unsuccessful farmer
One is regarded as a success and
thefother as a failure. It is as
easy to be the one as the other.
The question that naturally arises
which do you prefer to be? If a
farmer at all why not a good
farmer? 1
Thejyouug man Who starts "out
to farm should remember these
fundamental truths that a land
worth plowing at all is worth well
plowing* and a crop worth plant
ing is worth cultivating. What
ever is worth cultivating at all is
worth cultivating well. There is
no lesson more important to learh
than this, and none that will
profit the young farmer more to
learn well,. Care in the prepara-
tion of the land, in cultivating
the crop, in the care of the tools
and the live stock on the farm is
essential to success as a farmer.
The young farmer who starts out
to become a successful' farmer
will find that his success depends
upon starting right.
There has always been' poor
farmers and always, will be.
Solomon gives this account of a
poor farmer ages ago, for this
wise king wrote .v “I went by the
field of the slothful, and by the
vineyard of the man void of un-
derstanding, and lo it was,, all
grown over with thorns, and
nettles covered the face thereof,
and the stone wall thereof was
broken down.” This same con-
dition exists today with the far-
mer who has no understanding.
His fences *re down, his field is
The Tipping Evil.
It seems that the tipping evil is
here to stay, because the Ameri-
can people have not the courage
to refuse to give tips for service
which has already been paid for
at a liberal rate in a regular way.
At least this appears to be the
view of hotel men of the North-
western States who have been in
session at Des Moines.
Many of the delegates at this
convention spoke in opposition to
the custom of tipping hotel wait-
ers and employes and there was
an apparent disposition to take
some action for its abrogation,
but one of the delegates declared
that the American people are so
afflicted with cowardice that they
cannot refuse tips to hotel em-
ployes and, accepting this view,
the other delegates concluded
that it was just as well to drop
the matter without giving it fur-
ther consideration.
At nearly all the clubs in the
country the giving or accept-
ing of tips is positively
prohibited. The member offer-
ing a tip is subject to explusion
and the employe accepting a tip
is subject to dismissal for violat-
ing: the rule; but it seems that
the hotel is powerless to enforce
an order that would relieve its
guests of a burden which their
“cowardice” imposes.—San An
tonio Express.
Notice to Dairymen.
Austin, Texas, May 21, 1912.
To City Officials:
You will please notify your
dairymen, through the press or
otherwise, That this department
expects them to have their cows
tested by a competent veterinary
surgeon to find whether or not
any of them are diseased, It is
clear that it is the dairyman’s
duty to see to it that he has a
healthy herd. The examinations
that this department will make
will be for the purpose of enforc-
ing the law, and not for the
dairymen’s information. If dis-
eased cows are found by us in a
herd the owner of which has
made no effort to eliminate dis-
eased cows, prosecution will
surely follow.
Thanking you for this assist-
ance, I am Yours truly,
J. S. Abbott,
Food and Drug Commissioner.
Farm Development.
The Texas Industrial Congress
has done and is doing a great
work also in stimulating friendly
rivalry in production of general
and special crops. The railroads
have for a long time been active-
ly engaged in the same kind of
demonstrations and experiments
to show the farmers as well as
tell them what has been done arid
can be done to get more from ari
acre and of improved quality
and to select the crops best suit-
ed to the soil and climatic' con-
ditions of each section. Demon-
strations trains, boys’ corn clubs,
girls’ canning clubs, prizes for.
corn, cotton, cane, and forage
crops, irrigated and unirrigated—
all these influences are at work
to convert every man who follows
a plow into a scientific farmer
and better farmer by actually
proving to him by direct and
visible results that it pays to
farm in this way. Any State or
section that does and keeps on
doing this character of educa-
tional work is bound to win. Let
Texas continue to show what it
can do, and agricultural leader-
ship is a “cinch.”—Fort Worth

Killed Between the Cars.
The Brownwood Daily Bulletin
gives the following account of
the death of C. A. Burks at
Brownwood Thursday, Aug. 15:
“C. A. Burks, car repairer at
the Santa Fe, was caught be-
tween two cabooses in the Santa
Fe yards this morning at 10
o clock and sustained injuries
from which he died at 1 o’clock
this afternoon. Burks was reach-
ing in for the air couplings and
was caught in the thigh and low-
er abdomen between the angle
cock and the draw head. It is
very probable that his thigh is
crushed arid that his lower intes-
tines are mashed. When the end
of the caboose bumped back he
fell from between the cars and
for a time appeared to be lifeless
Physicians were called hurriedly
and gave every attention.
'Burks has been employed in
the capacity of car repairer for a
period of eight months and has
been with the Santa Fe for four
years. He is a married man.
Mrs. Burke and. five little boys
are visiting this week at Lam-
pasas.
“Mrs, Burks has been notified
and will return on first train from
Lampasas.”
Mrs. Burk is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. C. P. Eubanks, of the
Rock Church community, and
left Thursday night for Brown-
wood, taking the children with
her. , She has the sincere sym-
pathy of, a large circle of friends
here.
While you are walking around
with your hands in your pockets,
whistling, thinking the world is
going on as usual, there is a little
group' of gentlemen in some
room, aornewhere, putting up a
job on you.—Woodrow Wilson.
Will E\tend Brownwood Road.
Brownwood, Texas, Aug. 13.—
At a meeting of the stockholders
of the Brownwood North and
South Railway,|held yesterday
afternoon at the company’s gen-
eral offices in Brownwood, it was
decided to issue d per cent bonds
to the amount of $60,000 for the
purpose of extending the line
from its present terminus at May
to some point on the Texas and
Pacific or to a connection with
1 tie Texas Central. In doing this
the Frisco will fulfill a promise
that was made to the citizens of
Brownwood when they took over
the Brownwood North and South.
They promised to build to a con-
nection with either of the roads
within a reasonable time. It is
believed the road will go to"
Rising Star if the proper induce-
ments are offered, if not then it
will evidently go toward Cisco.
