Live Stock.

Western Farmer and Dairyman
advocates the growing of more and
better kinds Of live stock, as we'll
as plenty of proper grains to feed it..
The Importance OF having live
stock to consume the rough folders
that are largely wasted on the
farms of the middle west is ques-
ton for serious consideration. AS
we drive through the country VIC see
thousands of acres Of corn stalks
that will be cut and burned this
spring in order to clear the land for
a spring crop, it is impossible to
compute this great loss. When
farmers produce 25 to 40 bushels Of
corn per acre and sell it to shippers
at 25 cents per bushel, as we saw
them doing a few days since, and
burning up the stalks, they are not
only robbing the soil of it's fertility
but are losing at a conservative
estimate, 40 to so per .cent of the
crop. It is conceded that it takes
the first thirty bushels of corn to
pay the expense of growing it; this
being true it can readily be seen
that the profit consists of that part
Of the crop over and above thirty
bushels per acre. Farmers should
grow, not less, but more corn, pro-
viding they are in position to
economically feed it. We do not
believe that there is any profit in
growing 80 to 40 bushels of corn
per acre and selling the same for 25
cents per bushel and deliberately
The Worthington advance., 1906-05-11

wasting 40 to 80 per cent Of the crop
by wasting the stalks. Corn stalks
are wasted unless they are made
into silage or shredded and con-
verted into milk or beef.
The placing of all our eggs in one
basket does not apply to economical,
profitable modern farming. The
modern farmer is diversifying his
efforts, thereby making surer
profits. Farmers that conduct their
farming operations along these lines
are not saying that farming don t
pay. On the contrary they are
buying their neighbors' farms and
you see on their premises modern
dwellings,, big red barns, and
usually find that they have a bank
account, and sons and daughters
away to school. The element OF
chance in one system Of farming ie
too uncertain. Live stock properly
handled, coupled with grain farm:
ing, ie the ideal thing, as it is not
only profitable but oonserves the
fertility of the soil and guarantees
abundant crops and general pros
perity.

MOBILES COUNTY NOTES


Last Sunday morning we had
Quite frost but there was nothing
much to be injured by it. We have
some rather sudden changes in the
weather, we have had some very
warm days, and others quite as
cool. Saturday ..nd Sunday were
cold enough to make little fire feel
comfortable Taken on the whole
however, the weather has been very
favorable for spring work.
Il. E. Kizer. we are told, is think
ing of spending the summer in the
Canadian northwest.
Mrs. I. A. Milton seems to be
quit popular as teacher OF music.
She has several pupils at present,
and expects to have several more
during the summer. They are
mostly young people living in the
neighborhood. A growing love Of
music is one of the signs of a cherry
times in the coming days.
Much of the grain is up and is
looking very we'll. 1t was rather
slow work getting the seed in the
ground, but now it promises well,
and we are all hoping for bounti-
full harvest.
It has often been said that our
forefathers who framed the Constl-
tuition builded better than they
knew, and in some other matters
as we'll as in the framing of the
Constitution unforeseen advantages
have cropped out, where perhaps
We had. not planned for them.
Our public school system is a case
Of this kind, perhaps. When our
public schools were established, the
training of the young so as to make
Of them intelligent citizens was,
doubtless the purpose chiefly in
mind. But that very thing is being
worked out in a way that most
people, very lkly hardly thought
of. Our common schools have
opened field for the employment
of young women as teachers, a
calling that every one regards as
honorable, and one to which the
daughters of our great country |
ardently aspire. A very large pro-
portion of our teachers are young
ladies. And how does it work
Why the thrifty German, the aspir-
ing Scandinavian and the every
where present 1rishman are all
equally anxious that their daughters !
shall receive such an education as
will tit them to teach school. So
strong is this feeling that in the
rural districts at least, the girls as
a rule, get better schooling than
boys. And how does this affect US
as people? It helps very much to
both parents and
children for our schools are
American in spirit as
in language. 1t helps to make of us
one people. But the great thought
which perhaps outweighs all others
is that it gives US, oevr the length
and breadth of the land, intelligent
mothers fitted to give that
home training where is laid the
of good citizenship. We!
often build better than we know.

Rakino Grass After MOVING.

Some persons advise raking after

benefit. They help to fertilize the soil.

enough will not look we'll after you
have been over it with a mower, be-
cause there was growth enough to par
TALLY hide the sward upon which it
falls. This will wither and turn brown

from the beauty of the lawn. But If
you keep your lawn we'll mowed-and
that means going over it at least three
