Our farmers have had an idea, err

The fruit grower in the southwest

Here is where he has advantage of

The oat crop is a good one to
keep on the farm-too good to sell.
The farmer and the farm are both
benefited by feeling all the oats the
farm produces. Sometimes and under
some conditions the manure from
oat-fed stock is worth as much as the
market price at harvest time.

furnishes an earlier and in most cases
better market, but admits of less

easier to place upon the back Of uay

all classes Of live stock. The reason
for this may be clearly seen and un-
derstood when we consider that IL is
one OF natures laws that the young
animal converts nearly every ounce
OF food directly into live weight. In
the mature animal this is not the
case. The animal has secured its
growth and nature, in that particu.
lar, has practically ceased TO so aid

FARMERAND PLANTER.
The MULE ON THE FARM.
Motive Power On the Farm Costs
Money, and the Farmer should
Raise His ONya.

One great expense on the farm is
the motive power. Good work can
not be done unless we have sufficient
power, Light horses or mules can
only do light work. To do good plow-
ing requires strong, heavy stock 10
pull the plows For this reason we
are always glad to see good, strong
teams But these cost good round
sums Of money. When bought for
cash, good mules are high, but when
bought on time they are much high
er. In almost every community there
are men who make large money every
year simply by the difference between
the cash and the time prices on mules.
They buy them and sell them to farm
ers on time, and then take the farm
ers' notes on the banks and place
them as collateral and get the money
and pay for the mules, and have
handsome profit left
All this comes directly out Of the
farmers pocket, and often makes
big hole in his yearly profits. This
is simply bad fnanciering. The farm
er's notes get tho none WIN did
