So
nail in time saves nine.
The best method of paying for the
farm is to make it productive.
Keep the weeds from securing a start
by constant, thorough cultivation.
Beauty is as beauty does" applies
to hcme surroundings as we'll as peo-
pie.
Labor is never spent in vain when 1t
leads to the accomplishment of good
results.
To make sheep pay. keep the best
sheep obtainable and give them the best
keep possible.
If properly managed. an acre will
supply through the silo ample feed for
COW for one year.
Limbs that are diseased on trees are
best removed as soon as discovered
regardless of the season or age OF the
trees.
The productiveness and profitable
ness of the farmers business depends
almost entirely in intelligent manage
ment.
One reason why animal husbandry
is profitable is the saving in transpor-
tatlon when concentrated products
are marketed.
The man who never held to any bust
ness is nearly always the one to in
vest when prices are high and SCH out
when prices are low.
The feeding Of grain to sheep will
make their wool grow faster and more
iense. and consequently heavier fleece
will be the result
Stable manure is the most practical
fertilizer known. for an application of
it seems the adding of both the ele-
ments of fertility and humus.
The farm products must be put In
the form in which they will command
the most money and yet leave the farm
In the most productive condition.
Do not sell tie youngest yearling
stock while there are older animals
that can be disposed Of with equal adj
vantage and which will not grow into
more money.
The best system OF farming is that
which gives the largest returns for the
labor and capital invested and still
leaves the soil in condition TO produce
maximum crops.
When the food supply is only sufii-
Client for maintenance In an animal
there is no gain in weight simply for
the reason that nothing to make
growth or weight has been furnished.
Make a study OF the herd Of cows
select the best ones, sell the poor
ones, buy or raise more good ones
grow more cowpea and alfalfa hay
for winter feeding. and make the
COWS keep you instead of you keeping
the cows.
In laying drains IL is best to cover
each joint with a collar. so fitted that
the soil will not work in and fill the
tile. If the bottom of the ditch is cut
down to point exactly the size of the
| tile the latter will not move laterally
nor cause trouble. 1t is best TO make
1t secure and safe in the first place.
All kinds of coarse food can be rem.
dered serviceable by judicious combina-
| tion of the ration. Even cut straw will
| be eaten If bran and oil meal are
added to it. Fodder can be made ac-
ceptable to stock by preparation, and
hay may be fed with other foods in q
manner to make the whole ration very
| palatable.
Rough, rocky or bdsly land may bt
plowed in the fall to good advantage
because the farmer il then not so busy
rs in the spring, thus giving him more
time to remove the rocks and roots tina
ill the land. When the farmer be
lieves his land to be full of worms an(
grubs he will do much in the way o.
killing them by blowing very late il
the fall.
A cattle breeder, who has expert
mented in various modes OF feeding
states that he estimated the cost Of tn,
food according to the value OF the lanf
and the crop, and with bunch OF
steers on a pasture, from May TO Sep
| TENDER, he cleared $3.50 an acre. As II,
