Feeds Hungarian and Sells Hay.

Maurice Magoon, ayoung farmer liv-
ing in Somerset County, Me-, has to
quite a degree solved the dairy problem
without detriment to bis stock or farm.
He commenced about three years ago
to plant potatoes. The first year he put
in twelve acres and used eight hundred
pounds Of fertilizer to the acre. This
fertilizer, by the way, was some that he
mixed himself from the prescribed COM
binations of the State University. In the
fall he got about two hundred and seven
ty-five bushels of potatoes to the acre.
That fall he ploughed the old potato
ground and In the spring narrowed 1t In
good shape. Without any further dress
ing than the fertilizer that had dressed
the ground for the potatoes he sowed
this old potato piece to Hungarian grass.
That fall ho cut from the twelve acres
thirty five tons. of Hungarian hay. He
keeps this up each year, and this year he
has been able to do equally well.
This is how he works 1t to the benefit
of his farm. Besides this Hungarian
that he cuts each year he also cuts be-
tween forty and fifty tons Of other hay.
He has found to his own satisfaction
that the nutritive value of Hungarian fol
. COW giving milk 10 better than timothy
hay and stands pretty we'll In with clover
hay. He feeds the Hungarian to his
COWS and other stock and sells his hay al
good sum 3 ton, usually averaging
from $l4 to SIS.
BY this process Mr.. Magoon 10 able to
keep good stock of cattle on his farm,
have the manure from them to keep up
the fertility Of his land, get the income
from tho dairy stock, the milk from
which serves many purposes, and at the
same time make good profit from biz

Farm improvements.

The American farmer has been so busy
up to the present time clearing land,
building roads and making living that
he has had very little time for substan-
tial farm improvements.
The time has now come for better
farm buildings, better fences, and better
general equipment, including modern
luxuries and conveniences about the
farm dwelling and other buildings. In
times past almost any kind of a barn
would do, }ust SO IL had a roof and side
walls. Little thought was taken of its
durability, and nothing of it's beauty.
The old-time farm, for these reasons,
looked shabby" and II was shabby.
Every where weedy and brushy fence
rows, tumble-down fences, rambling
shacks for barns and sheds, and pig pens
and poultry runs in the front yard, with
perhaps high wood pile directly In
front of the dwelling door was the rule.
Farmers have come to realize that life
in the country can easily DO made rich
and pleasant with little thought and
expenditure in the line of more substan.
tial improvements including architec'
tural harmony and beauty.
The country is good place to live, as
well as a good place to make living,
providing the farm is improved and
made sanitary, convenient and beautiful
Under other conditions farm life becomes
repulsive and monotonous.
1t is refreshing to note the better class
of barns being constructed of late years
and especially during the last year oil
two. The pressnt-day farm barn is con
structed, first with the view Of solidity
and durability, and second for conven
ieuce and beauty Of design. Some OF the
| modern barns are almost as good as 9
dwelling house. In them in winter mel
can work with comfort in their shir
sleeves, and the animals housed are ade
quately sheltered from cold and damp
ness.
Now a great many farmers are build
ing concrete walks from the dwelling Il
the barns and other outbuildings, max
ling outside work about the building
more pleasant In wet weather. Th'
farmer has plod led in the mud l0ni
enough. He intends to walk with DIR.
and clean feet from now on. And wh.
not?
All progressive farmers know tha
good barns and other buildings on tn
farm soon pay for themselves in the saw
ing Of feed and the better handling o
domestic animals. The tide has turne'
now for making everything count on tn
farm, and the substantial, convenien
and beautiful barn Is rapidly forgin
its way to the front in rural sections
Good farm buildings and fences on th
average farm increase the value OF tn
whole farm twofold. The substantia
Improvements are an aid In making
more money on the farm and in maxim
country life more pleasant and dignified
The progressive farmer is . progressiv
builder.

Somehow. as he pondered ana watcn
ed her, 1t seemed as If he sat in church
at home listening to the choir boys
chanting. She reminded him Of those
boys. or their voices, rather. The same
sexless quality was there. In the body
of her she was woman. In the mind
of her she had not grown up. She
had not been exposed to ripening In
f1uences Of that sort. She had had nc
mother. Won. her father. native ser
wants and rough Island life had con-
stituted her training. Horses and
rifles had been her toys. camp and
trail her nursery. From what she had
told him her seminary days had been
an exile, devoted to study and to cease
less longing for the wild riding and
swimming Of Hawaii. A boys train
ing and a boys point Of view:
Well. there was only one thing for
him to do. He must meet her on her
own basis of boyhood and not make
the mistake of treating her as wo'
man. He wondered If he could love
the woman she would be when her
nature awoke. and he wondered II De
could love her Just az she was ana
himself wake her up. After all. what
ever 1t was. she had come to ill quite q
large place In his life. as he had dis'
covered that afternoon while scanning
the sea between the squalls Then he
remembered the accounts of Berande
and the cropper that was coming and
scowled.
