DID NOT KNOW HIS OWN FARM

The following letter was recently re-
ceived by friend. and as it may ap-
peal to any one owning a good farm,
we print it:
My Dear John-We have your let
ter describing your new home, and as
I read it I could not help wondering
how a man could give years of his life
making such a home and then be will
ing to part with it. You have a ready
made Paradise, evidently, and I can
not but pity the previous owner, for
he must be pretty homesick now. 1t
recalls to my mind story I read once
upon time.
A farmer decided to sell out and
move to town. He listed his property
with real estate agent who wrote a
complete description of the place to
publish with his advertisement. He
read the glowing account to the farm
er who sat bordering every detail as
1t was written in classified form.
When he had finished he asked,
well, how will that do?" The farm
er got up, pushed his hands in his
pockets and let his eyes over the val
uables acres that showed such careful
cultivation. Then he turned to the
agent and said: 1--WE been looking for
a place like you have described all my
life; thought I'd be satisfied when I
got 1t; 1t seems that I overlooked the
treasure being SO close to it, but I've
decided now to keep 1t myself.

THE USEFUL POST AUGER.

Do you dig the holes for the fence
with a post-hole auger? II not, let
me say from experience that 1t Is one
of the most profitable instruments
which farmer can own. or course,
you cannot expect wonderful results
on stony ground, but there are augers
made for this purpose which work
well. We do not, as a rule. set the
posts deep enough in the ground. An
auger is great help in this, and the
last foot Of dirt may be dug much
more easily than with shovel.
have known men to dig forty post
holes two and one-half feet deep for
a days work, but they could nearly
have doubled the amount with auger
Three and one-half feet deep is abou,
right if the posts are long enough
even then the frosts will raise them G
; little each year. Be prepared for this
and sharpen the posts SO they may be
/ driven in the ground again.
If the rock prevents you from set
ting the posts deep enough and 70,
wish to run wire fence you can pu
cross-piece on the post near the bot
tom and dig a short trench to plac
the post in. This should be across tn
line of the fence.--Iohn Upton Il
Fargeville- N 7.

HAVE A GOOD HOUSE CELLAR.

In leisure hours at this season of
the year when days are wet outside
and work holds up somewhat, 1t is a
good time to thoroughly clear out and
make improvements in the cellar, the
most essential part Of the house.
Do it now, while clear of everything,
as it soon is to be the general store

HOMEGROWN FEEDS.

In exceptional cases purchased foods
may wisely take the chief place. In
the dairying sections corn, oats and
the by-products of the Touring mills
will long continue to be the chief
grains. Oil meal and cottonseed meal
will have great value as supplements,
but it is rarely economical to feed
them largely.
OF the coarser feeds clover or alfalfa
hay have more intrinsic value IL they
can be secured in good condition both
as feed for the cows and also on ac-
count of them, being we'll adapted to
the rotation Of crops that 1t is desir-
able for dairyman to follow.
Alfalfa, while not SO we'll adapted
to rotation, forms the best perma-
nent meadow Of any of the tame grass
plants, and 1t will be especially ap-
preciated by dairymen during dry
weather and at times when other for
age crops fail.
Whether fed as ensilage or as dry
fodder, the stalks of Indian corn will
long remain as chief reliance to
dairymen in all sections of the coun-
try.

Ing his odd moments would by prac-

Ind awaken him to the higher posi-

Our minds crave change from the
segular routine of field work and they
will be broadened and we will have
higher view Of our calling If we read
} good class Of agricultural books and
papers, thus utilizing the by-product
Of our time.
If man can be contented as long
rs he lives by making a poor living

regular chores the same as his grand
father and father, get up early in the
morning and go over the same chores

of hard labor dare say he will be de-
Btined to follow this one routine as
long as he lives and will fail to have
a competency to carry him through
his old age in comfort and luxury be-
cause he was careless about the use
that he made of his by-products.
Our time, outside of what we re-
quire to carry on our work, is our
most valuable by-product, and we
should aim to utilize it in way that
will not only help us in our business
but broaden our minds so that we may
see new ways to economic in our
management.
We have all heard of killing time
It Is common to hear an aimless OF
shiftless fellow Dragging about killing
time when working for some one OF
when idling about public places. HI
thinks 1t sounds smart to brag abou

All OF our great men, whether finan-
ciers, lawyers. statesmen or farmers,
have made success of their lives and
business by utilizing the valuable by
products.
The men who have made a lasting
success Of breeding domestic animals

of their lives were not born rich. They
had to perform labor the same as the
farmer Of today, but they utilized the
by-products of their extra time to ere
ate new and improved forms of anil
mails for the farmers.
Every cut Of prime beef, every
choice pork loin and every leg Of NUT
ton bears the impress Of their study
and represents the hy-products OF
their time in making better food for
mankind.
There is no more timely or impor-
tant question before the American
farmer of the present day than that
Of utilizing the odds and ends Of, what
is produced on the farm, 80 that he
will be able to turn them at profit

TANKAGE AS A FERTILIZER.

This name is given to the residue
of meat entrails, fire bone, and other
waste that settles at the bottom of the
immense tanks in which much refuse
matter is rendered for getting out the
fat, and when the percentage is very
high it is called cracklings. 1t is a
dry powder made from this residue of
rendering watts and some of it contains
a quantity Of bone.
There are two kinds of tankage-
beef and pork tankage. The latter has
a great deal Of fat and is not as valu-
able as the beef tankage. That is al
most free from fat. This difference is
not understood by farmers generally
and they often are supplied with the
less valuable tankage.
When it runs to bone it is as good
as the ordinary bone meal. For crops
where phosphoric acid Is required Il
! is a. good purchase and is sold to farm.
