DRY FARM STOCK FA1rEAING
Monotony and unattraetlv Re-
moved by DlversIty-AnlmaIs Are
Essential Factor.

So far. the live stock tattening
problem has been discussed only
from the viewpoint Of the dry farms
needs, but the question has also an
other side. Not only does the dry
farm need live stock, but the products
of dry farms are needed for live stock
fattening. Many dry farming sections
are in close proximity to great ranch
ing districts, which raise stock but
cannot produce forage to finish 1t for
market.
In the past 1t has been often neces-
sary to transport range cattle great
distances to feeding districts. II the
dry farms In the vicinity Of these
ranches could supply the necessary
products. It would simplify consider
ably the problem Of preparing for
market. This need Of the products Of
the dry farm is especially true, since
an increasing proportion Of the
words production Of grain will be
necessary for human consumption.
Dry farms can be made more stable
financially and more certain Of per-
manence by the use of stock, and the
live stock fattening problem can be
simplifled by dry farms. Let US now
inquire into the effect Of this combi-
nation on those who are to live on
these farms. The average dry farm
of the past has not been the most In
viting place In the world to live.
Meager accommodations both for man
and beast have been the rule.
Under these conditions, life is
bound to have much Of monotony and
but little Of the diversity and attract
iveness which a farm home should
have. No great things can be expect.
ed from country life Of this type. II
the dry farm Is to be a desirable
place OF residence, 1t must have intro
duced in its life all the diversity pos.
sible. This diversity cannot well be
had without live stock of some kind.
Keeping In mind these various con.
sideratlons. 1t becomes evident that
the successful dry farm Of the future
Will be one In which the live stock
interests will be combined with crop
production; and 1t seems probable
that finishing for market will be one
of the phases Of the live stock indus
try which will be most benefited by
the dry farm and from which the dry
farm will profit most.

stretch the wire month later, after
the posts have settled, and the wealth
er becomes warm.
There is considerable contraction
and expansion due to heat and cold,
so fence stretched In midsummer is
more likely to remain tight. In
stretching the wire, always fasten the
stretcher to the end or corner post,
and not to some object beyond, Just
because 1t is more convenient.
l have tried this and know that
unless the end posts receive the ten
sion when stretching, they will give as
soon as the stretcher is removed. A
stretcher with two levers, one at the
top and another at the bottom is the
best type, since on uneven ground the
wire may be stretched to conform to
the surface.
The most important thing in the
construction Of fence is having posts
we'll set, for without this 1t is impos-
sible to stretch heavy woven wire.
Never try to stretch more than 40
rods at once, and II this is four.foot

One form Of insurance against
drought Is used by some successful
farmers In western Kansas. They
plant about half Of their milo or kafir
crop quite thinly each year. If a IA
vorable season follows they get full
yields on the area planted at the nor
NAL rate. and fair Yields on the area

they get light yields or none on the
area normally planted. but still get
fair yield from the feeding grain
every year. with but small loss in
total yield in the good seasons.
AS matter of fact, II farmer
were to plant his entire area thinly
every year and thereby obtain fewer
bushels in flve-year period than he
would by normally planting. his thin
planting might still be the most prof.

PLOWS ON DRY FARMS
Disk Found to Be Preferable to
the MoIdboard.
Implement 10 Frequently Used for
Flowing stubble Fields and Old
Land GeneraIly-Deep Tilllnp
Machine Introduced.

In humid areas about the only kind
Of plow that Is extensively used Is
the moldboard, but in dry areas that
does not hold good. The disk plow
has place in these and the same is
true Of the deep-tilling machine. The
moldboard plow is SO well known and
also Its specific uses, that they need
not be dwelt upon at this time
The disk plow consists Of one or
more large disks set at an angle that
will turn over the furrow slice, but
less perfectly than the moldboard
plow. 1t has been found preferable
to the moldboard plow when under
the following conditions: Q) In
heavy clay soils that are hard to plow
and that are more or less liable to be-
come sticky. (2) In plowing land
baked SO hard with the sun that 1t is
difficult to keep the moldboard plow
In the soil. (3) In the first plowing
Of sage brush land when the brush
is strong. az In blowing stony land
which could not be plowed with the
moldboard plow without much diff
Guilty. The disk plow Is frequently
used when plowing stubble land and
old land generally. 1t is lighter OF
draft than the moldboard plow. 1t
does not bury grass or weeds so COM
pletely as the latter.
The deeptilling machine is plow
with two disks. The one in front
cuts down to certain depth and
turns the soil. The one In the rear
cuts down more deeply and turns
from a lower stratum, inverting 1t.
In part at least. above the furrow
sslice first inverted. Among the ad.
vantages Of this plow are the follow.
ing: ~ 1t is light Of draft rela,
lively in proportion to the depth to
which it will plow. (2) 1t may be
used In plowing ground when 1t Is SO
dry that 1t could not be plowed with
the moldboard plow. t3) 1t makes 1t
possible to plow the soil to any rea.
sonable depth. az 1t aids material
ly In pulverizing the soil which 1t
plows.
The deeptilling machine Is Of too
recent Introduction to justify saying
very much as to the exact place that
1t will fill In the tillage Of dry
areas. This much is certain, that II
will fill an important place. The fact
that 1t will enable the farmer to &c
down deeply into the soil without toe
great an expenditure Of power Is q
great consideration, as deep plowing
in dry areas is generally all.import
ant But the ability to plow deeply
even in dry areas brings along with
1t the temptation to deepen the area
that Is cultivated at too rapid a rate
Deep plowing should be cautiously
done. In some instances 1t does moi
matter much how deeply the plow IL
sent down. even at first In other In
stances. to go down into the soil and
bring much unreduced earth up to
the surface would greatly hinder
growth. This plow renders excellent
service in killing quack grass. II
buries 1t so deeply that 1t has but
small chance Of coming up again. pro
viding an occasional dlsking follows
The only check on such deep plowine
when killing quack is the effect that
raw soil brought up from below may
have upon production. In humid
areas. where quack grass grows best
this machine ought to have wide
use for this purpose alone.
