Soillng and Pasturin :.

With good management there IS no ques'
ton but that a larger number OF stock can
be kept in proportion to the acreage by soil
inc than by pasturing. At the same time
il requires considerable more work, 81
much so that with the Western farmer vt
least, who finds land cheaper, 1t is question
able whether it can he made prOhtaDle'
After grass makes a good start IN the spring
so that IL will afford "A living for the STOCK ~
that they can be turned out. they will need
very little attention during the growing
season. This is especially the case with
cattle and sheep; and pasturing Is cheap
feeding. II s0ilng were followed 1t wound
be necessary to plant ana sow a suinclen'
acreage Of such crops as could be used 10
the best advantage, and then these must De
cut and fed out daily, making considerable
work every day, a large part OF Hhlch Is
avoided by pasturing.
A patch OF rye sOwn in the fall, so as to
receive a good start to grow before colo
weather, will furnish large amount oil
feed in ths spring, giving pastures better
chance 10 grow before turning the stock
upon them. Then If some crops are s0wn
that can be used 70 an advantage as a sOll-
ing crop during the heat Of summer, that
50 often dries up the grass in the pastures
a LARGER number OF stock in proportion TO
the acreage can be kept than would Other-
wise be possible.
When all of the farm products are to be
fed out 20 stock on the farm it Is quite an
item 10 keep tue largest number possible,
and in this connection some solling can
often be done 10 "A good advantage.
As with much other work when this plan
is to be followed, it will be good plan Ia
arrange a bed. Rye is the best crop ioT
early feeding, and should be sown IN the
fall. clover will come in next. Then sOwed
corn or sorghum or millet can be used aitei
the middle or latter part Of summer, and
will furnish food until late in the fall, al
least until frost. Let the stock have the
run Of the pasture. but al the same time
keep them in a good thrifty condition by cut
ting OF anc feeding whenever necessary

The utilization OF pine-tree leaves Tor the

become uu industry of recOgnilcl import

for some time been in operation for thus pro-

city OF 1000 yards, the material being 10

After leaving the wringer the process o;

INSURANCE AMONG THE MARRIED
There Are Twenty Men to one Woman

Although much mas been written TO show
that MARI ed men are healthier than single
people II is by DO means demonstrated
that they are healthier because they are
married. statistical tables quoted 10 snow

as well be taken 10 show that people get

as fair "A test as any is The attitude Of The
life insurance companies on The subject
Ii is not true To At the life insurance COM
panies charge any less for married people
than for single people. Neither is it true
that life insurance companies are more ready
10 insure married people thaG single people.
The universal r-le Is TO consider mainly the
ply steal condition and age of the pers-n To
be insured, and the probability of Inherited
disease or shorter life. All these matters
are quite independent Of matrlmooy, and
il often happens that married man Is re-
iected. while single man OF the same age
is accepted.
Asa matter Of fact, there are about twenty
men insured to one woman. some COM
panies will not insure women AT all The
Equitable charges women s. on $1,000 more

garded with suspcioI. 10 j. said by eX-
perts that wCmeu are more secretlNe as "a

The result Is that the companies cannot

as from men. some time ago a woman was
insured by one OF the large companies, and
she died within lew IA nths OF can er. ii
A man wants To insure hrs wiiC's life II Is
! looked upon As az least requiring inYestiga-
ton. one reason why wOmen's lives are
not often insured IL probably Oh Al there are
some periis IN maternity.
The rule generally is that any person can

she is dependent for support, or IN the con-
tinuance Of whose life ne mas an adequate

held 10 have an insurable interest in ths.iite

priety insure her own life fer the benefit OF

TIE FARMER AND PLANTER
AGRICULTURAL SUBJECTS OF

Farming Depression In the United States
selling and PasturIng-How often
should stock be Fed-The Barnyard and
the stable.
Agricultural depression in this country
began in 1928. This, rather curiously, IS
just about the time that the exclusion OF
American pork from Germany aud France
began 10 be felt. Since then the home mar
ket has beeu glutted with agricultural pro-
ducts. To enlarge 0ul markets is practi-
cal craftsmanship, and if it can be done in
no other way we might suspend all rela-
tions. commercial or diplomatic, with couu-
tries that thus discriminate against us.
Minister Reid, our representative at the
French Republican court, says that the
French people are anxious for the removal
OF restrictions against American pork and
other products. The imposition Of like re-
strictiOns against the importation OF French
wines into his country would quickly bring
that Government 20 terms. There IS the
more reason for this because it is known
hat what are called French wines are
largely adulterated. American and olhef
agricultural products are healthful, and in
all cases what they pretend to be.-Ameri-
