Just what 1t means for a farmer boy
to go to college and get definite re-
suits out of It Is being shown In the
work of the newer generation on west
ern farms. The result of training and
of broader ideas is seen in the meth
DDS Of today as they take the place
of those of the early settlers who
were hampered by the need OF expert
ment and trial before they learned
what was best to do and how to do Il.
Not every boy seeks an education
with the idea of being a farmer when
school is over. and when one does the
outcome is interesting. Such al ambi-
ton has animated one young man OF
the western section and It has worked
out In practical results. His expert
ence Is a good example of what edu-
cation g a on the farm.
IL always wished to be a farmer-a

Carver put 1t, as he stood at the door
of the big barn on his fathers farm.
That was why l went to college and
l spent my time trying to learn how
to be the best farmer possible"
1t was difficult to realize that this

and that he had spent five years out

He Is master of a half section OF
fine bottom land equipped with build
ings and conveniences usually found
on a modern farmers place.
But 1t was not up to his idea and
the changes that he has made and the
new ideas he has put into practice are
a good exhibit Of what may be expect
ed IN western farming In the future
He had learned that grain is better
feed when ground and a feed grinder
was put in. Then an elevator thai
would carry the grain to storage

900 bushels a be cared for, was
added.

But after all. there is no veal In

easy. 1t is especially easy and con.
venient for me-for / am a dairy farm
er, remember"
To carry out this. the most impor.
tant of his ideas, required another
innovation, most interesting of all.
The big barn was divided into long
rows of stalls for the cows. Each
animal has n swinging iron neck hold
er that gives 1t ample liberty yet
keeps 1t in place.
In front OF each row Is an iron pire,
air tight. leading to a vacuum tank in
the power room where are indicators
telling of the air pressure. The en-
| CINE pumps the air out of the tank
and so out of the pipes, leaving a sue
ton that Is used to operate milking
machines, of which eight are installed.
These are Of the ordinary type used
In the agricultural colleges and can
be operated by a boy.
1T takes us about an hour to do the
milking OF 30 cows" explained the
young man. 1--WE shall have 40 cows
loon and 1t will take no longer then.
II is not profitable to use the milking
machines with less than 40 cows. be-
cause Of the expense Of installation.
Something like $500 is invested In this
apparatus.
But It helps solve the hired man
problem. Few men like to milk. In
the foreign countries and in some
parts OF this country where daifying
by hand has been the custom for a
long series OF years 1t is easy to get
mixers. The western hired man balks
at two or three hours of milking daily.
This makes 1t difficult to necure help
on the farm X attention is given to
dairying. With these machines Il Is
different. Any hired man will manage
the machinery and likes 1t, for he is
relieved of the drudgery OF the actual
work himself. There will be easier
work managing this farm than ever
before and l expect to make more
money out of It, too"
Along with the change In the farms
methods have gone changes In the d.
vision of the crop-raising plans. In
stead of producing grain for selling.
the farm will now produce feed for
the cattle and hogs. Two hundred
head of swine are being cared for and
the income from these is not to be
despised.

Household Hints.

Leave the cover OF the saucepan
when cooking cabbage or onions and
the odor will not penetrate the house.
A good rule to remember In using
salt while cooking vegetables Is that
the root vegetables are improved by
1t, but peas are ~toughened.
In cooking green corn add a tea.
spoonful Of sugar to half a dozen ears.
A little sugar improves peas while
cooking.
Do not depend upon your memory
TO know your jellies OF sauces. See
that they r well marked when put
away.
Try adding a little shredded green
pepper TO the creamed chicken, 1t is
a great Improvement.
Add a little ammonia to the water
when putting a roasting pan to soak:
1t will then wash very easily.
