It seems q pity that the best crop q
man can raise on a good farm should
be so perverted as to work the moral
and financial ruin Of the owner Of the
land. Here was Jones, a bright, in
dustrious young fellow, who at the age
of twenty-eight was left a 400 acre
farm by his father, land easily worth
800 per acre. There was no earthly
reason why Jones with this start should
not have been a very prosperous and
successful man, and he probably would
have been If he had left three fingers
of whisky alone, which may or may
not have been made from the very corn
which he raised on this very farm.
The history Of Jones from this point
is an old, old story. He got to going
to town about every day, coming home
drunk and abusing his wife and fam
lily. He found it hard to get good men
to work for him. 1t was not long until
he had a good sized mortgage placed
On the farm: his crops and stock, being
neglected. were grown at a constant
loss. In twelve years from the time
that Jones and whisky were introduced
to each other whisky had the farm,
had killed the wife and left Jones q
blear eyed, ss'orthless wreck. There is
nothing ahead Of Jones now except the
charity Of friends and a pauper's fu-
neral. This story is worth remember
Ing because it Is true.

The effort to combine both beef and
butter production on the same farm
makes more trouble than any other
combination tried on our western
farms. The line of cleavage between
beef and butter is SO very distinct, the
interests of each SO everlastingly at
war with each other, that on all land
worth 500 per acre we have come to
believe a mans best interests would be
conserved to select one or the other of
these branches Of farm industry and
not attempt to combine them. The 300
pound cow cher butter product is en-
tirely possible with the exclusively dali
ry farm. Many can beat this with
cows bred on strictly dairy lines, while
the 1,2O0 pound t~wo-year-old steer Of
the sort which brings the top Of the
market is equally possible with the
beef grower working with beef breeds,
but this steer can't be had from this
300 pound COW, and the chances are
that his dam will never give more milk
than just enough TO give him a good
start in life, If she does that. There is
surely safe and good money working
with the dairy COW as suggested. Tiers
may be IN producing the beef, but az a
business It is NOT neurly 20 yelieb!s.

This man cut up his field Of corn
with a machine. He then husked it
out Of the shock by hand. This sort
of business might be all right in
New York OF Pennsylvania, but is all
wrong in the corr belt Of the west.
Where corn is cut up-and it should be
lit should be either fed in the bundle
or shredded. A still better way would
be to cut it up and put it into the silo.

An interesting experiment is being
tried in Texas with cattle. A firm there
has imported from Burma, India,
some Of the large native Indian cattle,
which are fawn colored. with enormous
humps on their fore shoulders. These
cattle are as large at six months old
as the best of our American breeds are
at one year old and are entirely i'm
from the various cattle pests
which have so bothered the cattle
growers of that state.
