HOME COMFORTS ON THE FARM

Whenever we find ugllness and dis
comfort We may be sure that in nearly
every case II is the result of Ignorance
shlftlcssness or Indifference or Stingi-
ness. or all combined, and not for lack
of money. We have seen barn that
cost $4,000. with a $50 gilded weather
cock on the top of the steeple. whose
owner and his family lived In shack
more comfortlcss and less pleasing to
the eye than the stalls occupied by
the thoroughbred cattle of the place.
Some people live in their little, old
crampcd quarters, which were no doubt
necessary when starting In life, until
they get rich. and then in order to
create envy in the hearts of their less
wealthy nclghbors build big. ugly
houses without decoration or comfort.
and then live in the kitchen. They
have lived so long In the Kitchen amid
dwarfed and uncomfortable surround
ings that they do not know how to live
anywhere else. We should not make
the mistake of waiting until we start
down upon the short hill of life to enjoy
the comforts and beauty along the way.
The uphill may have many hard and
trying places to be overcome, but there
arc inviting resting spots along the
way, and there is beauty all around us
at every step. but often we mistake
the value OF the goal for which We are
striving. and In our cagerncss to OBJ
tain wealth VIC pass by tho beautiful
things and keep our eyes too closely to
the dust TO sec them.
President Roosevelt appointed COM
mission to inquire into the causes OF
discomfort with farm life, but 1t is
plain TO every sympathetic observer
that the main cause Is lack OF cdu-
cation-knowledgo OF how to get tho
most out of the soil with the creates,
physical comfort; how to weave the
beauty OF life into the days hard work
as VIC go along. Tho cause IS plain
but the remedy lies hidden in the faI
distant future.

strIcted In area by the encroachments
of the farmer. and more care IS taken
in breeding for quality than heretofore
and men everywhere are studying how
best TO feed To secure most profitable
results.
AIeny of the leading, experiment sta
tIons have conducted feeding tests
which have conclusivcly proven the
most profitable age at which to mar
ket cattle. and also what rations are
the cheapest and best. and any ono who
desires can secure the bulletins which
cover these points. and thus be pre-
pared to feed and sell his stock in an
Intelligent manner.

The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1909-09-04

The idea has been popular for a
good many years that live stock cam
not be profitably grown on small firms
and that beef production naturally be-
longs on the ranch or the range.
This may have been true under
former conditions when poor breeding
and poor feeding combined to keep an
animal from reaching marketable con-
dition until 1t had attained three or
four years, for 1t was only on cheap
land and In large numbers that cattle
could then make profit.
A complete change Is fast taking
place. as the cheap lands are rising In
value. and the free range is being re-

Coekebur.
The oocklebur Is a serious menace to
cultivated crops. large number OF
queries sent out to farmers brought
many responses. The seed habit Of
coclllebur differs materially from that
OF many annual weeds that belong to
the same family. The bur has two
so-callcd seeds. one of which has a
slightly different position from the
other: the seed coat. too. is slightly
different in structure. and. according
TO Dr.. Crockcr. this is the reason for
delayed termination. DR. Arthur In Il
study OF the same seeds determined
that the opinion generally prevailing
that one seed VIII germinate one sea-
son and the other then the following,
is essentially correct We have found
in our own work that occasionally both
seeds Gcrminatc the same season. Ii is
very plain, therefore, that II cocklcbuI
occurs In the soil you cannot hope to
destroy more than about one-half OF
the seeds in one season, and If The
same field Is cultivated with corn the
next year another crop OF seedlings vii
come on. The best method of combat
ing the cooklebur is the rotation oi
crops and clean culture. When field
is in corn the field should be thoroughly
cultivated and none Of the plants al
