WHAT TO FEED WITH CORN.
Missouri Experiment Station Proves
That linseed Oil Is Best.

Ina some other feed should be
used with corn to secure the best re-
suits in pig feeding is known by all
practical feeders The gains are bet.
ter than on a pure corn ration, and II
the other food is well chosen the gains
may be made at lower cost. In a test
at the Missouri experiment station a
comparison of wheat. middlings and
other purchased feeds used with corn
meal was made.
With corn at CSC a bushel it would
be an even thing so far as the cost of
gain is concerned. whether corn be
fed alone or with oil meal at $50 per
ton. In these tests. linseed oil meal
proved to be better than wheat mid
dlings as food to use with corn.
The oil meal ration was so much
more palatable than the middlings.
that much more of it was eaten daily.
They made more rapid gains and
seemed to thrive better upon this feed.
To be equal to oil meal at $50 per ton.
middlings would have to be bought
at from sl4 to SIS per ton. AS oil
meal Is usually cheaper than $50 in
Missouri and middlings worth SIS or
more. these tests show that linseed oil
meal is one of the best feeds to use
with corn.

BIG OR LITTLE FARMS.
The Size Depends on Location Writes
an Iowa Farmer.

Whether a man should have a big

Of only so acres or 126 acres Will
have a hard chance to make a living.
He needs at least 160 acres, and II he
has 800 acres he will be still more
fortunate.
1t must be remembered that it takes
a good deal of land to produce paying
crops of corn. wheat and other cereals.
n a man raises cattle he must have
a large part OF his farm in pasture.
II he has but so acres and there
comes a wet year or very dry year.
either of which will cut short his
crops, where Is he? But even then, II
he has 100 acres he will be able to
produce enough to meet his obliga-
tions.
The SOacre farm Is all right near n

can be followed largely enough to in
sure the farmer living. lie can then
constantly get manure for use on his
farm. But in the country away from

WORK JNTHE TOOL SHED.

One of the many profitable winter
Jobs can be found in the tool shed IN

tool he seldom has time to nix II,

usually done as quickly as possible
with an eye only to the work immedl-
ately at hand.
PlowS may now be cleaned on ana
oiled hoes and mattOcks sharpened,
scythes ground, etc. Then there are
always bolts to tighten. fractures and
breaks TO patch up. and adjustments
of variouS kinds to make. If any
machine needs repairs that must be
ordered from a distance this should be
done during the winter and the ma
chine made ready for use. If this Is
neglected now. remarks Farm and
home. you may forget all about it un-
till you want TO use it, and then you
will be in hole.
A few hours work at odd times will
have all the tools ready for use when
the time comes. If they are stored in
shed or room where you can get at
them and the rain and snow cannot.
If they are left. as many tools are.
out in the weather. they will be in
bad shape when you go to use them.
So If you have no tool shed it would
be a good winter Job TO build one.

cumulating there year after year. 1t
Is this land that should be brought

better than the adjoining higher lands
whose fertility has been considerably
depleted by constant cropping. When
drained we'll these lands make ad.
