man who lives on western prairie
farm In a way he is supposed to own
1t, LOO acres Of good land, but really
he has only an equity In it, being as
ne says, so heavily in debt on the
farm that he feels sure he can never

for him in living and carrying such a
burden of debt. He wishes to know
just Where he can 60 with what money
ne can realize on his equity and get
some cheap land There are not few
men situated just as is our CORE
spondent, and so we answer his ques-
lions at some length. We are not at
all sure, but the very best thing he
can Go is to just sell half his present
farm, pay up and be content to work
this plan. He can make just as much
clear money each year from eighty
acres by applying better methods of
farming as from his 100 acres farmed
the Old way; then he can retain and
enjoy the fruit of his past years Of

THE s1Lo.


Right now is the time to seriously
consider the question Of building silo
for use next winter. The material
which will be available to fill it has
heretofore been wasted on the farm
the cornstalks- have been such
a nuisance to you as you put the corn
land into crop this spring. No one
Improvement possible for all farms in
the corn belt where the corn crop is
converted into some form Of meat or
dairy product possesses the certain util-
ity and profit that does the silo. Fif-
teen acres of corn converted into ST.
lage assures the principal and standard
winter forage ration for more stock
than is usually kept on the 100 acre
farm. What will you do with the
hay land if you build silo? Why,
pillow up half of the meadow and grow
more corn or cut the hay crop and
sell it. When you build silo you
simply add acres to the farm, very east
est way in which to get more land.
Put $500 into a silo and ensilage ma
chinery, and, our word for 1t, after you
have used it for a year you will won
der how you ever got along without it.

The effect Of hard and deep freezing
of the soil during the winter, while
sometimes injurious to clover and trees,
is nevertheless Of great benefit to the
soil and the succeeding crop which il
produces, good yields almost invariably
following hard winters. Such freezing,
for one thing, locks up the soil and pre-
vents any loss of fertility by erosion
1t also tends to open up the subsoil and
thus promotes underdrainage and the
aeration of the soil. 1t Is always harder
TO keep land fertile and productive
where the ground never freezes than
it Is where it does.

The new plan of working the earth
roads implies doing a little work on
them often, and it is this thing which
is the secret of the success of the new
plan. A woman combs her hair every
day to prevent it's getting snarled up,
and very properly and logically does
not wait until it is all snarled before
she combs it. A little work done on the
dirt road often prevents it from getting
into bad condition. Heretofore we
have only fixed the roads when they
became impossible. By the new way
we will keep them from getting i'm
passable.

There Is almost always some one
farm product which pays a big profit.
Some years it is the potato crop, some
years wool, then hogs, then wheat or
corn. There are just only two farm
products which seldom vary much in
price, taking series Of years. and
these are butter, or milk and cream,
as the case may be, and eggs. This
fact emphasizes the Importance Of al
ways diversifying the crops raised on
the farm, and the further fact that the
more the farm can be utilized by the
cow and the hen the more certain will
be the profits to be secured from it.

THAT BOY.

While the law gives the father the
unpaid services Of his son until the son
becomes Of age, it is mighty poor pol
icy to be guided by the law rather
than by a humane and decent regard
for the boy. We believe that as soon
as boy is able to render service on
the farm of money value to his father
he should be paid something for his
work, and so paid that the old man
does not have string hitched to his
wages. A good boy is worth raising
altogether aside from his economic
value to his sire, and one way to raise
a good boy, who will stick to his dad
to the last ditch, is to treat the boy
fairly in this matter of compensation
for the work done by him. When a
boy is worked by his father till Of age
without recompense save his board and
clothing the boy is sure to be glad to
get emancipated and leave home, and
1t is sometimes hard work to get him
to come to the old mans funeral.

The production of almost all our
crops is very closely connected with
the rainfall Of the growing season. AS
Stunning that winter rains and snow
have we'll saturated the ground prior
to seeding, 1t may be said that about
ten inches Of water coming at the right
time during such season Is necessary
for the healthy maturity Of such crops.
When the rainfall Is less than this
some crops are sure to suffer, as they
are when this amount is precipitated
In only two or three storms.

There is quite little agitation in
progress over the question of introduc-
ing agriculture as one of the studies to
be taught in our country schools. We
do not think any formal attempt to
teach this branch in the schools would
be success. The pupils are burdened
with multiplication of studies as it is.
The average country schoolteacher
could not qualify herself to teach this
study proftably. Still, we do most
heartily favor the taking up as rec
reation, for such 1t will become, some
practical work in this line-the grow
ing of plant, tree and flower by tha pu-
pills and the study by them Of the .abits
Of such things.

uncommon to hear the men who have

ment is developing, and the pride here
tofore extended alone to the public
schools Is going to embrace the public
roads as we'll.

One man says that the cucumber
beetle-the little yellow striped fellow
can be got rid Of by selecting ground
for planting removed from where Gu
cumbers had been grown the previous
year. He is badly off in this. Two
years ago we planted melons, cucum-
bers and squashes mile away from
any garden, right In newly cleared
timber lot, and squads of these beetles
sat around for a week waiting for the
stuff to peep through the ground; never
saw SO many Of them at any place as
there were there. Easiest way to head
them off is to make small frame and
tack over the top piece of cloth or
mosquito netting.
The semiannual fight between the
sun and the frost is over, the sun al
ways winning out in the spring and
the frost in the fall It is interesting
to watch how reluctant each is to give
up it's domination of the earth. Little
by little in the spring the sun creeps
up and loosens the hold of the frost,
while bits of green in sheltered hooks,
few frost proof flowers and some
precocious fruit blooms are tempted
out, the frost getting several parting
digs at them, but gradually loosening
its hold and power until by early May
1t withdraws to the far north and the
sun reigns supreme. In the fall the
process is reversed, and the rule Of the
sun is assaulted, lightly at first, but Is
1t sinks lower and lower to the south
the frost becomes more and more az.
sressive until the king Of the cold
rules unchallenged.
