SURE FARM PROFITS
Dlverslfication Insures Good Re-
turns to the Practical Farmer.
One Who Grows Variety Of Products
Has Wide Experience and His Mind
Becomes 6rosdened-New Ideas
Continually Coming Up.
ny n. n. SHEPARD.

General farming is the most inter
esting and profitable. as well as the
safest of all farming If any one crop
is short or failure there are Others
to fall back upon for an income. The
farmer who grows variety of prod
ucts has wide experience and his
mind becomes broadened. New things
are continually presenting new and
valuable ideas.
The general farmer, from the ma
ture of the case, does grow variety
of products, but the average farmer
does not grow as many kinds OF things
as are possible and profitable on the
general farm. There should be va
riety of animals kept, commensurate
with the size OF the place and other
modifying conditions. And keeping
variety of farm animals necessitates
the growing of a variety of cultivated
plants.
For healthy growth and profitable
gains domestic animals must be fed
several different kinds of feed in or
der to supply them with the different
elements essential for normal growth
and development. In summer with
pasture this is easy. But there should
also be things grown so that the ami
mails can have change and variety
of feeds during the entire winter sea-
son when forage crops are dead. 1t
is the cry of nearly all farmers that
they make no money on hogs and
dairy COWS in winter because they
have to buy expensive feeds to supple
ment the narrow ration OF home
grown feeds. This can be corrected
and a great saving made by growing
pumpkins, beets, mangels and other
succulent crops that can be kept
green a part of the winter. Silage, OF
course, is excellent and win fill a wide
gap in feeds, but there are many 9TH
er things that can be grown and kept
in a green state without serious loss
of time or soil space. Rape may be
sown in the corn at the last cultiva-
tion and serve for green pasture till
the last of the calendar year. The
same is true of rye, which will af-
ford green pasture all through the
winter.
Poultry and pigs thrive on the farm
where a variety of crops are grown.
They are able to CLEAN and turn into
good money almost every particle of
waste grain and fruits. They pick up
scores of dollars worth of waste feeds
in the wheat, oats and pea stubble and
in the orchard in the summer and
fall. Our chickens always increase in
egg yield when the field peas are har'
vested. The same is true when apples
begin to ripen and fall. Nothing is
wasted.

larvae that attention should be
directed. The larvae is a slender
organism, white or gray in color,
comprising eight segments. The
last of these parts is m the form
of tube through which the wrig.
gler breathes. Although it's hab.
itat is the water, it must come to
the surface to breathe, therefore
ats natural position is head down
and tail, or respiratory tube, up.
Now, if oil is spread on the surface
of a pool inhabited by mosquito
larvae, the wrigglers are denied
ssccess to the air which they must
hSge. Therefore they drown just
as M.y other air-breathing animal
would drown under similar cir.
cumstances.

YOUNG LIES Greatest Tragedy.

Let a sensitive child enter his teens,

CORN IN SOUTHERN STATES
Diversified Farming Beginning to Be
the Talk Of Many Farmers
in Gulf.

Throughout the southern states
they are beginning to talk diversified
farming. From Texas CAL recently
came to the North Dakota station for
some suggestions In corn breeding. In
a way that looked bit like carrying
Goals to Newcastle, but come to think
Of 1t the conditions in the south and
in the north are not dissimilar. The
south has robbed Its soil with cOntin-
ual cotton cropping, just as the north
ern farmer is robbing his soil by
growing wheat and in each section
the use of corn and legumes is to play
an increasing part in the work Of re-
newal of fertility. Florida is taking
hold of the corn breeding problem
and is offering prizes for the best
work in that direction. The gulf
states are falling into line and the ul-
innate effect upon the corn markets
of the country is not without interest.
We shall probably hear of cheap
corn" "overstocked markets" and the
like within few years. But there
| is no call for alarm, present or pro-
spective. The increased productive
ness of the south that will result from
better farming methods has In It no
dangers for the northern farmer. On
the contrary, better agriculture in the
south will mean increased markets
for northern products and goods. Be
tween north and south the sluggish
pulse of trade win quicken and IN
that increased prosperity all viii
share.
