AS general thing the farmers who

growing sugar beets fall short from
six to ten tons per acre of getting the
yield which the promoters Of the sug.

or too low and never just right.

simple precautlon as this in the mat

Timothy hay is pretty expensive bed
ding when it will sell at from $l4 to
$50 per ton, and yet there is lot of
of being used in this way because of
too generous feeding when oat straw
would answer just as well and cost

in this one item where eight or ten
horses are kept would offset the wage
of Il hired man at $24 per month. It's
a leak that ought to be plugged up.

A pretty good resolution to carry
out in this new year is to walk on the
sunshiny side of the road. If there is
no sunshine on either side it will be a
thoughtful thing to scatter bit in the

without staying in it needlessly or
doing anything that will tend to in
crease its volume.

While the manure from an average
dairy COW is worth from $1S to $32
year, provided the manure is used so
as to realize it's maximum value, this
fact should not encourage any dairy
man in the keeping of animals which
are little more than manure deposi-
tors. Better by all odds get cows which
will make just as much fertilizer and
at the same time give return in milk
and cream which will leave a good
margin of profit on hand after their
feed bill has been paid.

While the curfew law has much to
commend 1t from the standpoint of

quate community substitute for indi-

need town bell or gong to remind

That n good deal of York state land

AS the siIo comes more and more
into use in the corn belt primarily for
the purpose Of providing a succulent
ration yor the dairy cows an increased
interest is being taken in the use Of
silage as fattening ration for feed
ing animals, particularly beeves. If
good clover or alfalfa hay is available
it will serve to balance the silage
and corn which are fed. If not to be
had the protein element should be pro-
vided in the shape of oil or cottonseed
meal. which should be gradually in
creased in amount until mature ami
NAL Is getting about two and half
pounds per day. Silage fed steers
fetch just as much as dry fed animals
notwithstanding the claim sometimes
made that their flesh is not quite so
firm.

The postal authorities have lately
been rounding up Il lot of swindlers
who have been using the mails in the
disposal of bogus oil, mining and other
stocks from which outlandish returns
have been promised In their next
roundup 1t will be well If they landed
another numerous company-the tribe
of real estate takers who through mis-
representation are raking in hundreds
of thousands of dollars from unsus-
pecting people for land which never
was worth anything and never will
be rs long as the sun shines. In one
case of this kind which came under
our notice recently land was palmed
off on buyers as ideal for fruit culture
when the meteorological records kept
at the nearest station showed that the
section has frosts most every night in
the year. Besides, the glowing fruit
yield records were stolen bodily from
booklet got out by town in beau
tiful valley on the other side of the
mountains, where climatic conditions
were entirely different. We are not up
on the fine points of what constitutes
fraudulent use of the mails, but we
have an idea it consists In sending
false claims and misrepresentation
through the malls for the purpose of
separating folks from their hard earn

All too rarely does the hog raiser
appreciate the full benefit of using
brood sows up to the age OF six or
seven years provided they are pro-

of generation after generation of sows
