 We were held up an unusually long time at the Sixty-sixth street station, SD the man took out his needle, threaded It. and with his right hand, began to mend slight rent in the under side of his left sleeve. A number of persons took lively interest in his mendins.
 The old mans hands were shalxy, and all had doubts about the neatness of the job. Presently a pretty girl sitting on the opposite side of the car stepped over and said: Won't you let me mend that for you?'
 "In a voice almost as shaky as his fingers the old man said: You are very kind The man sitting beside him gor up and let her sit icwn. She had lovely white fingers, and I think I am justified in saying that every masculine heare presen. palpitated at the sight of that delft needing.
 'The old man alone remained calm. He was old, and, besides, he was getting his coat mended for nothing Since then I have carried a needle. I hope to get . chance to use it soon."

FORAGE Crops are Profitable

anced ration in this way and to get ex-
cellent gains. As corn alone Is ordi-
narily fed. it takes Ave pounds of corn
to make a pound of gain. Professor
Doane says that the Experiment Sta
ton has often made a pound Of gain
with four pounds OF corn fed in the
fields. and he has known Of gains OF
one pound for one pound of corn. BY
this system tho corn is supplemented
with leguminous forages.
There are some drawbacks to the
system, but they can be overcome.
For example, there is some loss by
trumpling Of the feed underfoot This
is especially true In muddy fields with
hogs. But this loss IL relatively
small, and does not Offset the gains.
II a lot Of fatteaing hogs are turned
into a large field, they will not clean
up well, but will lsave large part OF
the feed. This may be remedied by
using temporary fences and allowing
them only 4 small area at tine.
With we'll grown hogs, however, 1t is
not advisable 10 make them clean up
too closely. The cleaning may be
done cheaper by the sows and pigs
which will be coming on.
This labor saving system of har.
vesting forages will come more into
use as the farmers realize its value.

"a factor Of profitable management
which is too much neglected in Mis-
s,uri," says Prof. D. H. Doane of the
College of Agriculture Of the Univer-
sity of Missouri lis the pasturing
down Of forage crops"
With the corn crop, for example,
most men would think the greatest
cost is in the planting and cultivation.
Accurate figures kept by the college
from a large number of farms over
the state, however, show that the cost
of harvesting is often greater than
that of growing.
There are many things in favor OF
pasturing such crops as corn. cow
peas, soy beans and other forages.
There is no cost in harvesting or haul
ing to the barn or feeding lots. The
manure is all returned directly to the
soil when 1t is in condition to do the
most good, so that there is no hauling
out to do. 1t has been found that In
this way eighty to eighty.five per cent
of the fertility can be returned to the
soil. The greatest possible amount of
humus is returned, SO that the soil
will be kept in good condition. Thus
1t will be seen that the labor problem,
which is becoming great on large
farms, is reduced to q minimum.

and the field work 10 pressing, the
tendency Is to let the cows get along
the best way they can.
Under average farm conditions in
this state. cows are fresh IN the
spring, give q good flow Of milk while
the pastures are good. but when hot
weather and short pastures come. the
milk flow drops one-half or two-thirds.
and the cows are almost dry at the
beginning Of the winter. 1t II almost
impossible to restore the flow Of milk
to the original amount after It y once
allowed to run down from lack Of feed.
To make large returns from the COW,
large yearly production must be had,
and to do this, the flow Of milk must
be kept up ten or eleven months In
the year. The cheapest and most Ed

grounds that it seeks to create such
