READY RESULTS
FROM A DAIRY
Cow Is Constant Quantity as Far
as Her Production "a Con.
cerned - Regular
Money Crop.

The great value of dairying in con-
nection with mixed or diversified
farming is that the COW Is a constant
quantity, so far as her production OF
milk is concerned. She can be banked
on more than poultry, hogs or field
crops to yield constant amount OF
salable products every week, il she
is given a variety OF good feeds and
general good care.
This cash coming in at regular and
frequent intervals from dairying en-
ables the farmer of moderate means
to use the money to good advantage
as it is needed, for general running
expenses and making things go. For
this reason the average dairyman
should become prosperous and have
well-improved farm.
The only regular money crop for
the farm is that which comes from
the dairy house. Every week the milk
and butter goes out and the money
comes back.
The modern dairyman seldom has
to go to the bank to borrow money to
tide him over till he sells his crops.
because he is selling his crops eV cry

Calf Is the Meanest Insect.

An old German farmer in Kansas, by
industry and frugality, acquired a rath-
er large property and at the same
time a ponderous physique. He sold
his farm and stock and bought neat
place on the outskirts of town. Not
wishing to be entirely idle he cult
waited garden patch in which he took
great pride.
One day an adventurous calf found
its way into the garden through a
hole in the fence. The old man ran
him around the garden several times,
but Mr. Calf could not or would not
find the hole through which he had
entered. At last, out of temper and
breath, the man sat down on a bench
and tanning himself with his hat,
said:

schumps, dots vot der matter ISL

PIE.
There never have been enough good

There never have been enough good
words said about pie.
The late William Shakespeare ex.
pressed himself wildly upon almost
every other subject in the world ex-
cept pie.
Moses and Aaron, and Coke and
Blackstone gave us laws that are val
liable IN our daily lives, but they did
not consider pie in it's relationship to
the welfare of the human race
Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, Ger.
vantes, Booth Harrington, Badding-
ton Macaulay and others have writ
ten the romance of life, but none of
them has given pie its rightful place
In the scheme Of things.
Pie has brought happiness and I'M
happiness into the family circle.
Pie rightly made Is a benson and
blessing to the system that absorbs
1t.
Men who are running for office
should appeal to the voters on the
plank Of Free Pie" and they cannot
fail to win.
All pies are good, but some are bet
ter than others. Some day woman
will run for president on her pie

Champion Sire Stallion, "Tatton Harold"

The matter of supplying teams for a
farm of any size is one that is mat
ter of Importance from the purely
business standpoint, as we'll as from
personal interest. There was time
when this question was very general
for farmers who had land at all suit
able for the business to raise their
own colts to supply the deficiency
from time to time in the teams for
farm work. .a
1t is less so now In these days when
making a speciality of things has
reached the point that seems almost
a craze. am old fogy enough to like
the good old ways" says writer in
the Farm Progress, and / still think
that on the great majority of farms, If
not absolutely all of them, it will pay
to raise all the colts that may be
needed for use on the farm, and any
more that can be raised without inter
fering with the farm work.

! Not long ago took drive of ten
miles with man who was taking me
to his home on the farm. He was driv
ing a sorrel mare of about medium
weight, and extremely quick and alert
in her movements. She was not fast
but seemed to go along at good
steady trot, and was Keeling off not

less than mile In five minutes. Her
activity and quick movements made
me think she was young mare, as
she had none of the appearance of age.
l said to the owner, THAT mare looks
like a mare it would pay to get some
colts from"
Il have been breeding her, but have
quit now" he replied. "She will soon
be twenty-one years old, and l have
had fourteen colts from her since she
was seven. They were all good, and
the youngest, now six months old,
looks as good as any of the rest did"
This mare had been doing farm work
mostly during all that time, and was
used great deal for driving, because
she was quick and always ready to go.
The fourteen colts no doubt averaged
$3.50 as three-year-olds. A few years ago
L had mare with the same qualities
from which l got some splendid colts,
| used her for farm work as well as driv-
ing; still she was twenty-five years
old when she died from an acute at
tack Of collie. Some of her colts sold
| as high as SITS each.
OF course, it is sometimes a little
| annoying to either drive or pillow with
mare with young colt, but Sall
colts, as a rule, do not give nearly so
much trouble as those that come In
the spring. This makes it possible to
breed farm mares and make a profita.
BILE business out of colts at very
small expense. 1 never half-starved
our colts. When foaled in the fall
they were ready to run to pasture by
spring, and it Is very poor farmer
who cannot supply ample pasturage
for colts at least nine months in the
year. But with plenty of clover hay
or pea hay, colts can get along with
very little grazing or grain.
If, therefore, any one is in posi-
ton to get some colts from work
mares l would counsel them, by all
means, to breed them. In most cases
with large mares, there is a better
profit in breeding to jack and raising
mule colts.

MAKE THE CROP
F.. FIT THE SOIL
Farmer Needs to Study Require.
ments of Various Crops He
Grows and Plan for
Rotation.
(By w. NJ. Kelley

There is no use in trying to achieve
success with soil not fitted to the
crop. We must make more intelli.
gent study of the selection of crops
that are better adapted to our soils
and that can be made to return larger
and more certain profits. There Is
something that is very interesting
about the preference of crops for GER
tain soils and climates.
One of the first things for farmers
to learn is to find out which crops are
best adapted to his soil and grow
them on his farm, He needs to study
the requirements Of the various crops
that he grows and plan his rotation
of crops so that each crop may be
grown under the most favorable con,
ditions.
While / am staunch friend Of sta
BILE manure and constantly urging the
keeping of more and better farm
stock, yet | can see the necessity of
facing the situation in practical man
ner.
The average farmer has reached a
point where stable manure will not
supply the adequate amount Of plant
food to produce the maximum yield OF
grain and other farm crops, and the
only sensible thing to do is to supply
the deficient elements.
The generality of soils on our stock
farms are deficient in mineral fertil.
ity, especially phosphorus, and it is
clearly to our interest to supply this
one element to our soils If we fit the
soils to the needs of our crops.
On soils possessing an abundance Of
humus and nitrogen we may purchase
the phosphorus in the form of the raw
ground phosphate rock and mix II
with the stable manare, but on soils
that are lacking in humus and nitro

The Worms Way.

The Hon. Stephen Coleridge, the
English NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., said an
anti-vivisectionist of Philadelphia, 'is
delighted with the recent English vivi-
section report, which promises to
abolish even the use of the live bait in
fishing.
Mr. Coleridge once argued here in
Philadelphia about the cruelty of fish
ing with worms.
"'Oh,' his opponent said, the mere
fact that worm writhes and wriggles
when impaled on hook is no proof
that 1t Is actually suffering pain

Just the worms way of laughing at
