He said the prosecution had already
had one week in which to prepare
their case against him, and was still
not ready to proceed. Attorney Ray
mond Ratliffe, who appeared for Valen-
tine, stated that the defense was ready
for trial, but rather than have another

A reader wishes to know if he might
safely go into debt for a herd of twelve
dairy COWS. He is now a raiser and
seller of grain and only keeps one cow.
There is probably no one thing which
he might so safely buy on credit as
dairy cows, provided he will make a
proper selection and then take good
care Of them. They will pay for them
selves the first year in butter product
alone, and he will have their calves
besides. That is not all by good
deal. The getting of the cows will
compel a change in his method Of
farming, which will result in bigger
and better crops and an increased fer
tility Of his soil. The fact is that clo-
yer, cows, corn and hogs will pay off
any mortgage and make any farmer
and his farm rich. 1t has always been
this way and always will, while the
grain raiser and seller can always see
his finish just ahead few years in an
impoverished soil and mortgage
which he cannot lift.

What is an acre of land really worth
when with good care and cultivation
it will produce seventy-fve bushels of
corn? One year with another if that
corn is fed on the farm it will bring
not less than 30 cents a bushel, some

borrow money at per cent on long
time and buy such land at 500 per

Some farmers are always ready with
excuses for poor crops. 1t may be the
late wet spring, the dry June, be-
lated spring frost, bugs. and, blight,
windstorms and hail,l lack of help. But
always in their neighborhood will be
found some man who does not need to
apologize sfor his crops or his stock
one who, while he may fail on one
thing, will always make success of
his work as a whole. This matter of
making the farm pay really depends
more on the man than on the soil, the
season or any Of the contingencies as
sociated with agriculture.
