The movement of 80 many thou.
sands of young people from the farm
to the city is largely caused by bad
roads which isolate their homes and
render the world about them mac
cessible. The addition to the urban
population lessons the producing force

ates a greater demand for farm prod

| The minus quality of our soils lies
not so much on the chemical side of
the soil as upon the wretchedly poor
physical condition induced through the
lack of any attempt to return to the
soil that vital attribute which makes

together with rational tillage and use
of manures, constitutes the best key
for unlocking the storage of latent
plant food contained in the soil.
The COW is instinctively the most
courteous animal In the world. She al
ways responds to better treatment.

preciate her.
If the dairy cow is in good healthy
condition and her milk supply profits
counteract her actual expense of keep
ing, she is worth the time and trouble
of keeping her but on the other hand,
should she consume more feed than
her profit warrants, get rid Of her as
soon as possible.

and they will protect the stock for
many more.
Animals are like human beings
sometimes they will eat more than al
others, and If feeder acts in accord
ance with the demands of the animals
under his control, it means safe ant
sure economy to the man who pays
the bill.
