IN THE HARD WHEAT BELT.
Diversity of Productions Is Urged
as the Need for Prosperity.

We never have seen fall in this
country yet that the benefits of diver
sified husbandry were not made I'M
mistakabIy plain, and this one
is no exception. Southern Mime
sofa would have been utterly
bankrupt years ago had it not
been for the COW, and, to-day, the
farmers there are thanking their lucky
stars that they have the dairy to de-
pend upon in this crisis. Supposing
the farmer here, who has lost all his
wheat from blight. had had fifteen or
twenty good Holstein or Jersey cows
that had given him all summer from
one and half to two pounds of butter
per day, instead of having nOne,a nine
tenths of them are situated. or, if they
do have cows at all, the majority of
them are such as do not pay their way.
Some farmers will claim that
THEY ARE NOT ABLE
TO 60 into good stock, yet many of these
very farmers have from six to twenty
cows, none of which has ever really
paid the cost of her keep. Far better
would it be to dispose of every hoof on
the place and get one or two good cows.
