Perhaps a magazine will some
day print the story of Quarterback
O'Flaherty in the Harvard-Yale
game of 1909. Perhaps the story
will tell exactly what happened in
that battle. In the meantime, the
O'Flaherty incident. which &C.
Cured just before the safety, is
somewhat of a mystery. What hap
pened, as seen from the side lines,
was this:
After O'Flaherty had run down
Coys punt to Harvard's 81 yard
line, Corbett and Leslie shifted
sides, and O'Flaherty gave the sig
nails for a plunge straight through
Yale's left tackle, that part of Ellis
line that Corbett had been finding
so weak during the early part Of
the first half.
Instead of running over to meet
Corbet, O'Flaherty remained rooted
in his tracks at the left side of Har-
wards line. Corbett, observing that
O'Flaherty was not cooperating
with him, but was remaining fixed,
with his arms outstretched and
holding the ball, veerd to left to get
the bal, while the Yale line, profit
ing by this hesitation, quickly broke
through and threw Corbett back for
loss to Harvard's 20 yard line.
Corbett again shifted, and OLA
herty again gave the signal for a
plunge through Yale's left tackle,
but, the second time, remained mo-
tionless in his position, and did not
run up to meet Corbett.
Corbett again he'd to run off to
the left to meet O'Flaherty and get
the ball, and this time Yale threw
him back for the loss of yard.
The game stopped sharply. The
players of the Harvard team
crowded around O'Flaherty, who
was swaying from side to side and
waving his hands. Corbett was an
CRY, and threw his helmet to the
ground.
Wigglesworth began to warm up
to the side lines, while Referee
Langford, took O'Flaherty by the
arm and led him toward the Har-
ward side lines.

should be charged, or at least the labor
connected with it, against cost of pro-
duction. If no manure or fertilizer is
used, certain amount should be
charged for depreciation of the land. II
commercial fertilizer is purchased, each
pound of potash, phoSphoric acid and nj
trogen should be charged on the basis
of actual cost, and if we do not return
as much of the mineral ingredients, pot
ash and phosphoric acid, as Is removed
in the crop, then we must still charge
up a certain amount against the crop Tor
fertility, which is lost forever to the
soil. OF course, we must charge up all
the labor, cost of blowing and hitting,
fertilizing, seeding, cultivating and har-
vesting. Then and only then will we
have a correct basis on which to figure
profit and loss Furthermore, we should
have an insight into things which will
enable us to reduce the cost or produc-
ton on the one hand and increase the
amount of labor on the other. The lat
ter is often more important than the
former, especially If we find that our
land will respond with an increase In
yield, the value Of which exceeds the
cost of manure and fertilizer applied.
line without making a careful study or
the deficiencies OF our lands in plant
food and purchase the plant food ele-
ments that, when applied to the soil, will
give a maximum return for the expendi-
ture. For instance, we should know II
our soil responds most to potash or to
phosphoric acid, ETC., and If potash gives
the largest returns we should make
certain that it is present in plenty in
the fertilizer. Again, our land should
not be overfed with expensive nitroge-
nous fertilizers, when nitrogen can be
had for a fraction of it's commercial
value through the intelligent use of
legumes.
Having carefully studied the cost of
producing the crop, we are in better
position to deal with the question OF
cost of producing meat Both plants
and animals require balanced ration.
Both respond to their feed according to
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-05-01

the wisdom with which they are fed
When the animal dies and a portion of
the carcass is ground up for plant food,
it is perfectly fair to credit the land
with so much nitrogen and phosphorus
returned; but it is not fair to credit
up any potash, since this element is not
present in any quantity worth mention
ing. About the only way for the farmer
to keep stocked up on this element UNI
der existing conditions is to either pur-
chase the potash salts straight, or get
a mixed potash-phosphate fertilizer.
Having thus systematized and made
little difficulty in finding out where
the profits are, and if it does not pay to
raise the crops for feed under any cir
cumstances, then should that end of the
business be dropped. Likewise, If it
doesn't pay to feed the animals, more
attention should be given to the balanced
ration Of potash, phosphoric acid and nj
trogen for the plant and less to the ra-
ton of protein, carbohydrate and fat
for the animal
Mixed farming usually pays we'll,
however, but it is important to count
the cost of the plant food rations, even
though commercial plant food is not
purchased, or If the animals rations are
the soils natural fertility. But if the
animal is sold from the farm, he is not
sold at an actual profit, if he has re-
moved or wasted the plant food, nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash to an
extent which will not admit of the farm
er purchasing out of the selling price
these elements and returning them to
the soil, with a balance still on the
right side of the ledger. l.. S. H.

COST OF FOOD ELEMENTS.

1t is probably true that a proper
valuation is not placed on the raw
products which enter into the finished
carcass or provide for energy IN our
farm animals. 1t is known to the stu
dent of locomotive engineering just
how much coal is needed to drive the
engine to a certain distance and just
what is the cost of the fuel per mile.
In the same way it should be known
to the farmer, not only what it costs
him to produce the feed, be it corn,
clover, alfalfa, or other grain or hay
In many cases progressive farmers
are able to estimate their profit on
the market quotations OF feeds, the
amount of stuff fed and the price real
lied for the animal. There are few
farmers, however, who are careful to
figure the cost to them of the feed
which is raised and fed. Yet it may
often happen that yields are so low
that farmers agree that there is no
profit in raising a certain crop with
out it is fed and converted into flesh.
The same farmer, however, will con-
tinue to grow that particular crop year
after year, instead of purchasing 1t
in the open market and devoting the
fields to more profitable crops.
Considered from the business stand
point every department of the farmers
business should pay. There is no rea-
crops at a loss, in order to make a
small profit from his animals. The
sound and sensible way is, first, to see
at proft Every cent should be
charged from the time of breaking the
ground If barnyard manure is used, 1T
