PERTINENT TRUTHS.
Why Farmers Can Not Afford To Raise
Poor livestock.


Stock-raising and farming are the
same In certain sense. No farmer
can keep stock unless he grows grain
and grass, and no farm can be kept TO
II standard of fertility unless contains
ing stock. Every farmer aims 10 im-
prove his farm with his stock. and en-
dcavors TO secure the greatest Yields
possible per acre, using the latest m-
proved methods for that purpose.
All farmers are quick in pointing out
the mistakes of their neighborS and as
,isting them TO avoid such in future.
But in stock-rai>ing the conditions
seem to be- changed. The farmer who
spends time and labor TO secure Il largo
crop of whea, or corn, rcSorting 10 tho
best seed and the most available ma
chincry, allows his crops To be wasted
by inferior stock. We use the term
wasted for the reason that any portion
of the food consumed that does not
contribute TO the production of sOmo
other article is wasted. True, il Is in
the manure. but waste of time re-
suits, rs the benefit from the manure
can only be gained later.
The importance of the stock being
Of the best can not be- too strongly
urged. Labor, shelter, time and mon
cy are factors in stock-raising, and tho
better the stock the cheaper the cost.
There Is no necessity for using ten
bushels of feed where five bushels will
accomplish the same results, To say
nothing of the fact that the expense
of handling the smaller quantity also
lcssencd. How is this saving to bc If
fcctcd. may be asked. 1t is simply TO
such stock rs will digest and assmilate
the greatest amount Of food in tho
shortest time. We do not mean tho
animal that eats the largest quantity,
but the one that digcsts the food and
converts IT, into more salablc product.
Can the farmer regulate the matter!
He can by using those breeds auaptcu
to the objects desired by him. As no
is careful to grow wheat on soil best
adapted for such crop, so should hc
use care in the use of stock designed
for special purposes.
All breeds have their characteristics
and merits. They are different in
many respects. Though some OF them
are Improbable when used for other
purposes than those for which they arc
intended. yet their places can not be
filled in some other respects. As differ
the crops so do the animals, and tho
farmer should govern his management
accordingly.-NatiOnai Stockman'

Who will bc the first to bnlE thhs
light, cheap, portable fence. when
farmers have boon looking FOR 80
many ycarsP Many patents have been
taken out to protect the inventors OF
this kind of fence. As fur M ] know,
these patents were all unnecessary, Tor
no farmer would ever build one OF those
patent fences. unless some SMOOTH
tongucd agent talked him ont oil his
senses. Ono idea runs through The
heads Of all these inventors, however
much they may differ in regard to de-
tails there must bc no post or stake

out of the account labor, lumber and
distance. have seen cut of n patent
fence that would weigh five hundred
pounds TO the rod. and take man half
day to build it, and then it was built
zigzag in order TO make it stand with

increasing the distance. They gain on
one point. but lose on three.
Last spring had forty rods OF fence
to build on rented land. To build u
permanent fence was unnecessary. rs

equally absurd. At first fell into the

Finally ! bought boards III feet long
