THE BIND-MAcHINE.
TWill Chamberlain.1

The anthem of the bind-machine is
abroad-an anthem of cheer and In ut
most keeping with the agricultural
cheer of Dakotaland. There is no more
positive token Of modern civilization
than this nicely poised clipper and
gatherer of the golden wheat, for 1T is
Il token that bespeaks peace even as it
fills the Golfer of thrift. Time was
less than thirty years since-when the
nimble hopper, millions and millions
strong, was the supremest harvester
west OF the pearly Sioux Like cloud
from clear Egyptian skies. he came
with a rush and roar and a rustic;
like wind amidst haunted forest he
settled to his self imposed task of gar
nering. and in this role he was second

the mountain. pointing out the rich and
marvellous landscape and saying. 10!
all this will give if thou wilt fall down
and do me worship. When the ancient
coming raiders beheld the little gleam-
ing patches of the Dakota grangers'
toll and from afar they awaited no
temptation and not even an invitation,
but swooped down and began to dine.
The old days of stress and anxiety
are gone. The hopper could not stand
civilization: no such rude and implica-
BILE gentleman ever can. He was van
ished But We're 1t possible to resur-
rect him from his millions of tombs
and set before him this prospective
feast-this bumper harvest shining
from Yankton to Savo and from Elk
ton to Grow Creek and criss-crossing
the diagonals Of this crest; If he were
shown this marvel of n crop in process,
and told to fall to and help himself, he
wouldn't find the old job he used to
slick up in two hours and then desert
on blue overalls and harness.

Don't Cultivate Too Deep.

Time was when nearly every farmer
owned or borrowed diamond pillow
to ridge up his corn with when it was
laid by" This implement was small
edition of breaking plow with a
sharp point and a decidedly curved
moldboard, and it threw dirt toward
the corn roots like steam ditching
machine If you felt good and had a
lively stepping horse. This little "dia-
mond" pillow cut off good many roots
and those that were not cut or mangled
were left under a very shallow coat of
soil, thru which the sun quickly found
it's way.
Good farmers do not break corn roots
now. They do not pillow deeply the last
time, but simply skim along the top to
kill out the weeds and keep the sur
face loose and fluffy. Flat cultivation is
always best for the corn, and 1T leaves
the ground smooth and easy to get over
when the corn is harvested.
To give some idea of the folly of deep
blowing of corn or root pruning" as
some people call it, the following fig
ures from experiments made by the
Illinois station will be interesting:

The Hog as a Mortgage Litter.

| y. -. 1poDSI, WdSutd, iowa
The first question that comes to me
in starting this subject is, why would
you select hog to lift mortgage?
| To answer / would say First.
must produce something that other
people want and are willing to pay the
cash for. The hog is always a ready
sale when fit for market. Second. The
| income is usually available in from nine
| to eleven months. | believe no other
| farm animal can be turned in so short
q time. Third. The proceeds from
| crop of hogs is, or can he, n sum OBJ
tanned at one time, and for that reason
can be used to better advantage.
Fourth. Because they will do well amy
old way" but the better his treatment
the greater the profit.
| Now, what kind of breed will serve
our purpose best? l would say, just
the common hog. Let him be red, white
| or black. Some succeed best with a
pure bred hog. while others do equally
well with a cross bred. Don't monkey
with pedigrees." This part of the swine
| industry must be handled different, and
! l believe If the common hog is given
| the same care and attention they are
registered herd in Iowa. A good swilI
barrel, if used literally, will make a
better hog than any recorded pedigree
ever did. 1t may be 1 am court
| ing trouble from the registered
breeder. but it is my opinion that any
one trying to lift the mortgage off
his farm should not monkey with
hogs on paper. The profits are more
uncertain than with the hogs on the
pasture.
Next, at what weight should the hog
be marketed to secure the best results?
Experience and observation has con-
WINGED me that from two hundred to
two hundred and forty pounds is a
good size to sell at If fat and smooth.
Circumstances sometimes alter cases;
for instance, If my neighbours herd
have an attack Of cholera II is pretty
good time to market mine. or as many
as will go after saving few for seed.
Figuring on the certainty or uncer-
tainty Of the hog as compared with
other animals / would say that we can
count on about three crops marketed in
four grown. Some lose more. In my
experience I have lost two crops in
twenty years. At the rate of one crop
lost in four or five / believe the hog to
be a good thing as a mortgage litter.
There is one point l wish to bring
out in connection with this subject.
1t may be little on the side but |
consider it of vital Importance as to
the life or death of a mortgage. With
reasonable care and diligence the hog
will have done his part Now if the
mortgagor fails it will be because he
has used the proceeds of the hog for
other purposes. We must hold these
proceeds as sort of reserve fund,
using them only in such way that
there will be certainty of their being
available at the time the mortgage
shall become due. Strike with an ava
Ianche of hogs and the mortgage will
be buried deep, never to be resurrect-
ed.
In closing. can only say have tried
to bring out few points. Those who
are to follow in this discussion are
perhaps more able to handle the sub
ject than l. therefore / will leave the
matter in their hands.
