HOW TO MAKE SOIL PROFITS
Mixed and Diversified Farming, and
Stock Raising VIII Build Perma-
nent Agriculture.
CBy w. M. KELLY

(By W. M KELLYO
To maintain the fertility of the SOIL
to cultivate It to the best advantage
to raise its products at the least ex-
pense, to secure the best FARMING
implements. to select the best i've
stock, to feed them in the most 1ntelll-
gent manner and to build up perma-
nent system of agriculture should DC
the end and aim sought by system
of mixed or diversified farming.
There are but few sections OF any
state that are especially well adapted
to the production of any one staple
and there can be no solid or perma-
nent system of agriculture unless II
is pursued In it's various branches;
hence diversified farming is essential
to success in most sections OF the
country. BY this we do not mean to
say there is no room for the specialist
but what we do mean to say is tnat
the specialist must make his cropping
system or branch of live stock feed
ing dependent upon diversified farm-
ing and animal feeding and returning
all the manure to the soil or else buy
large amounts of commercial fertlll-
zers If he maintains the fertility OF
the soil. What we need is class or
men who possess sufficient strength
Of mind to guide them into paying
back to the soil, by way OF manure
or fertilizer, a portion of what Is bor-
rowed by way of crops that are re-
moved from the soil and taken to mar
ket.
A farmer may be a feeder of live
stock, breeder of pure bred stock
or specialist in potato growing,
fruit growing or dairying and make
the rest of his farming subservient
to his one chosen branch, thus main
tanning his soil in a fertile condition
without buying large amounts OF fer
tiliZers or manures.
The great point to be observed In
diversified farming is to make each
branch pursued fit nicely into the
whole general scheme of management,
to eliminate all waste and plant the
cropping system so that all crops Will
not be dependent upon care and atten-
ton at the same time. A great deal
of the success of mixed farming de-
ponds upon the manner in which it is
mixed and as usual thing the man
who attempts to do too many things
will make a failure of them all. This
is one reason why many agricultural
men are advocating special lines of
production.

drawbacks of either.
