mixed FARMING.

A Manitoba farmer writes I have over
twenty years experience in farming and
can give some practical hints to beginners
or those IN doubt as to the limits of the
different branches Of farmers calling.
1t is quite amusing TO read the articles
written from time TO time by the advo-
Gates of specialties in the lines of agri-
culture and the ingenious arguments they
advance TO show they are right. A "mixed"
farmer is not carrying his eggs in half
a dozen baskets" any more than a gen
eral merchant is. A merchant is quail
fled by his experience to handle every
branch of his business in all the lines
he finds a demand for. A genuine farmer
is one born and bred TO the calling, and
is quite capable of carrying on every
branch of his business thoroughly and at
the same time. One of the advocates of
specialties in farming says all wheat,
another all horses, or cattle of some par
ticular breed, or a combination of beef
and milk, hogs and dairying, sheep,
poultry, etc, each one according TO his
own personal hobby. They do not even
know that the greatest profits from farm
ing can only be made by carrying on every
branch, properly proportioned in its
relation to the others, at the same time.
With regard to stock, it is never mad
viSable for a farmer to make a speciality
of one kind of stock. II is not all
foregone conclusion, as some suppose. 1t
is not the advocate of specialties in stock
that l am after, it is the grain-raising so
called farmer who knows or cares so lit
tie about real agriculture that he would
ruin the best and richest farm in this
country by raising grain on it till it would
no longer pay for cultivation, and how
long would that be when now the present
margin of profit is only doubtful2 They
are not genuine farmers at all, they are
only spectators who figure on the profits
that rich virgin soil should give for few
years, when they hope to have made
enough to be able to desert their lands or
rent them to some bona fide farmer to re-
store the value again.

Oultivating.

The finer the soil and the more thorough
the cultivation the better the growth and
yield, says an exchange. In all soils there
is more or less latent fertility that needs
the action Of the air and moisture to make
available. Frequent stirring admits the
air and aids very materially in supplying
to the soil the necessary plant food. 1t is
in this way, by first preparing the soil in
a good filth before planting the seed and
then to keep in as fine filth as possible
that 1t is often possible to secure a good
crop when otherwise the yield would
hardly pay expenses.
Filming the soil thoroughly before plant
ing is a material help, as it gives the best
a better chance to secure good start to
grow, and vigorous, thrifty plant is
much easier kept growing than an I'M
thrifty one can be made thrifty The finer
the soil the better the opportunity for the
various elements to act upon the soil and
make the plant food available
In the garden by fining thoroughly be-
fore planting and then using sharp steel
rake to commence the cultivation, it is
possible to keep the soil in a fine filth,
and much thriftier growth will in this
way be secured, and the more thoroughly
the work is done the better will be the
results secured. Tillage is not manure
and cannot be made so, but it can with
care be made to take the place of manure
by helping to make plant food in the soil
available; but thorough work is neces-
sary if good results are secured.

Feeding Brnn.

With nearly all kinds of stock bran can
be fed to a good advantage, and especially
so during the summer, says the Prairie
Farmer. At the prices it is usually sold
at during the summer it makes one Of the
very cheapest foods that can be supplied.
Some use more or less in the dairy; but,
while it makes a valuable food for the
cows and the teams, brood mares and
growing pigs can be given more or less to
a good advantage. 1t can be fed for milk,
for growth, to add TO the variety, and for
manure For fertilizing alone it adds
nearly, or quite, its cost to
the manure; and for this purpose at
least it is worth twice the value of coarse
meal. One advantage in feeding il is that
there is little or no waste, is easily as
simulated and contains but a small amount
of iudigestible material. 1t is also in a
condition TO be combined to a good ad-
vantage with other materials. In itself
it is not complete food in feeding in
nearly all cases its best results are Sc
cured by feeding in connection with other
materials. With the mich cows, oil meal,
corn meal and bran, with good pasturage,
make a complete ration for milk and but
ter
With growing pigs bran can be used
with middlings, ground oats, barley or
corn meal. and if made into slOp with
sweet skim milk with any of these ii will
aid materially in securing a strong, vigor-
GUS growth with good development of
bone and muscle. For the teams bran
can be combined with almost any kind Of
grain with benefit, while with unthreshed
oats, if they are run through a cutting
box, it makes one of the best rations that
can be supplied.
Many purchase bran all through the win
ter from necessity; in many localities
from this time on it can be secured at fair
prices, so that generally il can be bought
and used in connection with other ma
