UtiIizinq Old Straw and Hay.

There are few farms. comparatively
speaking, where c~raw and hay do not
go to waste each year. In travelling
through the country we see here and
there straw piles and hay stacks
most of the latter rotting in sloughs
and marshes-that are neither used
for feed nor bedding. Although this
is the case, cattle have to wade
through filth and wet manure in the
yards all winter, whereas the straw
and poor hay could be put to good use
as bedding All such litter and rough
age, not fit for feeding purposes,
should be scattered in the yards and
will soon be trampled into the manure
by the cattle. In this way deal Of
valuable fertilizing material may be
produced, and it is far better to get
rid of the trash than let it lie around
and rot to make the farm untidy and
unsightly.
1t has been found by experiments
carried out by Mumford and others
that cattle do not thrive SO we'll in
muddy yards as they do in those kept
clean. Mud is to be got rid of by
draining the yards and having them
sloped so as to "shed" water, also by
spreading with cinders or some other
dry material. On such yards the
straw and old hay or other trash are
used to the best advantage. Straw
thrown into the mud will but increase

the filthiness OF the conolrIon as IL
rots, and such conditions are almost
sure to set up foot trouble among the
feeding cattle. On tho dry ground of
the yards, and especially in covered
yards which are now coming into use
here and there, and are in general use
in Great Britain, straw and old bay
furnish comfortable beds for the cattle
and at the same time save the liouid
and solid excreta, so that the entire
mass of bedding becomes well-made
manure, which can be hauled out and
plowed under in spring or made into
compost heaps to be turned over and
rotted for use as top-dressing for grain
or root crops or to be spread by the
machine on the pastures and mead.
ows. In using straw and hay in this
way enough of it should be thrown
into the yards each week to keep them
comparatively dry, and the manure
should never show as a wet. oozing
mass under foot, but at all times be
smothered in dry bedding. Evidently
the covered feeding yard is the best
place to properly utilize the straw in
the manner alluded to.

A Little Farm Well Titled.

1t is stated that since 1900 the popu-
lation of Iowa has decreased two per
cent and that the reason is consolida-
ton of farms to appease the greed
for more land, which has grown upon
many farmers whose crops have been
abundant during the past few years.
We have previously alluded to this
subject, but did not imagine that it
was so serious as this. 1t means, per-
haps, that great farms are forming
and that small farms are being alb.
sorbed and their owners driven to take
up new land in the Northwest or else
where or to rent land in their home
state from the very men who are max
ing landlords of themselves. This is
sorry state of affairs, compared with
the old regime when each farmer
owned his eighty" or quarter Sec
ton" and was content herewith and
gave it such good attention within his
means and facilities that it brought
forth abundantly and fully supplied
the needs of himself and family.
To be sure the disposition of the
family was and is difficult problem.
The small farm cannot well be cut up
into little holdings sufficient in size
to maintain the children, as each in
turn leaves the paternal roof aud goes
to housekeeping. The greed for more
land is making prices too high. Not
too high, perhaps, while banner crops
on1 prfnnS tho pf thn
but too high when comes the time
that is certain to arrive when crops
fail to a great or less degree for
season or two and at the same time
foreign crops succeed as they have
not done of recent years. These events
would cause drop in prices as well
as shortage in crops and land &C
cordingly would suffer, although acres
are always fairly good investment
unless bought during boom times at
fictitious values.
While it is partially true that Iowa's
loss of population has been due to con.
solidation of small farms into great
holdings, we think that the opening
up of new wheat lands in the North
west has been considerable factor
in inducing owners of small farms to
"let go' to the successful neighbor
who has had better success or fallen
heir to capital enabling him to extend
his ownership of land. Every locality
has its unsuccessful farmers; men
who are unfortunate, lazy, ignorant,
vicious in habit or thriftless in char
acter. These people are ready to sell
out at any time, and such perhaps
have drifted out Of Iowa to the new
land, where they fancy fortunes are
to be made by merely tickling the soil
surface. Such will not be any great
loss to a district Let us therefore
hope that the diminution of Iowas
sturdy population will not lead to any
extended depopulation of the rural dis
tricts, but to an Improvement of meth
DDS and management to the profit and
satisfaction of every small land owner
who appreciates bounties and neigh
borhood associations
