Charles \. Rowe of Jacksonville
who spoke at the Illinois Farmers in
stitute, has, with his father, w. r.
Rowe, one of the most successful farm
ing systems for small place to be
found anywhere in Illinois. 1t is 4
corn, small grain, clover rotation, with
hogs and seed corn as spccialties. Only
eighty acres is devoted to this rotation
but it has been so profitable that 4
second eighty-aCre farm has been
bought near home, hired hand in
stalled, and exactly the same rotation
started upon it.
Departed From Common Custom.
The plan worked out 50 carefully hy
the Rowes differs widely from ordi-
nary methods, first, in moving the hogs
and all their buildings each year to a
new field; second in putting the hog
on an August market at 10 or IL
months of age; third, in producing
much of the pork from inexpensive
clover. using COTrCspOndiugly less o.
corn, and fourth, in feeding soy beans
and soy bean hay to supply the pro
TEN food when the clover is gone. The
Rowes also know by definite weights
and figures the cost of production aad
their profit or loss in any line of their
work. They add ten bushels per acr
to their corn yield by cultivating their
corn twice after the ordinary farmcy
lays by" his corn. and by hOcing ont
the bad weeds once in August. TheiI
ground is worked much more thor
oughly throughout the year than the
ordinary farm. Their corn fields arc
almost entirely clean of weeds in thr
fall, giving great advantage to tn
succeeding crop of clover.
Land Enriched While Making Money.

pork and at the same time is peculiar

Cheap Glover Offsets Long Feeding
Period.

There must be something to offset
this long feeding period. \ pig can
not be made to gain a pound day I'M
less he is put on expensive feed. We
make the gain on clover, and clover is
inexpensive. Five tons of good clover
can be produced on an acre, and the
first period of running these pigs, from
May 1 until the fore part of the winter,
is almost entirely upon clover. The
other feeds in winter are more eXpen-
lsive. From May until July or August
of the second year we make another
exceptional gain on the clover. We
have found by actual experiment that
clover pastured thus brought S24 an
acre. The next year it made $3.50
per acre.
For 30 years the December hog mar
kets have averaged low and those of
| August high. We put 10 fattening hogs
on an acre of clover and it will keep
them until the first of August.

The sOws and pigs go on to the clover
when the pigs are two or three days

The sOws and pigs get most of their

the pigs are big enough to crack corn
they get a little extra feed in Il pen
where the mothers can not enter.
They are kept thrifty during the whole
