this situation Ia that the farmer begin
right now to plan for next winter.
These plans should include sowing
some crop for forage. The farmer has
at his disposal the millets. sorghum
cane, cowpeas. field peas, the cereals.
and corn. The most important Of
these is corn. which perhaps will pro-
duce q greater yield Of forage per acre
with the least amount Of unusual lab
or, than any of these crops. Most
farmers are not accustomed to hand
ling some of these crops. but have for
years cut at least a small amount of
corn fodder and know how to handle
this feed satisfactorily. BY cutting
corn there is also the saving Of great
waste which is usually neglected on
the ordinary farm. Thousands of
acres Of cornstalks are left standing
every year which would supply forage
for a large percentage Of our stock.
enabling the farmer to market his
hay at a profit and besides utilize to
a great extent all the products of his
land. Under ordianry conditions, 81
per cent Of the feeding value Of corn
is in the stalk When this is left stand
ing in the field it is practically all lost,
especially IL the weather happens to
be severe.
1t is the saving and utilizing Of all
the products of the farm that makes
farming profitable. The writer was
recently in one Of the large factories.
and was impressed with the strict
principles of economy which were
followed. One operation in the manu-
facture of binder is the testing OF
the binder head. This requires the
use OF Irvine with which most farmers
are familiar. The operator is this test
carefully saved every inch of Irvine,
which was transferred to another de-
partment and utilized for tying ship
ping sacks and for other purposes. II
it is necessary for big manufacturing
to be so economical in order
to make a profit, it is more important
that the farmer should adopt like
principles which will enable him to
reap greater benefits and more profit
from his land.
Speculation is what might be termed
dealing in futures. or a business trans
action Of hazardous. uncertain or
unusual nature with the hope OF real
izing unusual profits therefrom. The
farmer who plans now to supply forage
in the form Of corn fodder. millet. etc,
and prepares to place on the market
good supply Of marketable hay is not
INDUCING in speculation in the least,
for government figures combined with
unusual weather conditions show that
there is and will continue to be for
some time to come. a scarcity OF
hay throughout the entire country.
Taking into consideration these con.
ditiOns. it does not seem that the
farmer can make any mistake by plan
ming to utilize his corn in the form Of
fodder for rough forage. and to sell
his marketable hay.

tBy J. T.. waggoner. Of 7. II. c. Ser

Few farmers realize the Importance
of studying the reports sent out by
the U. s. Department Of Agriculture
in making their plans for the future
II seems that the old habits cling to
us. and we year after year SOW or
plant corn, oats. wheat, barley, etc,
without any special concern regarding
what the future price may be as based
upon the supply carried over from the
year before. This method Of farming
certainly does not show practical
application of business principles to
agriculture. There are reasons, per
haps. for this Indifference in planning
our farm operations. Farm lands
have been increasing in value very
rapidly. also farm products. and 1t has
not been necessary for the farmer TO
figure 80 closely as the business man
in order to make a profit on his prod
ucts, nevertheless the man who does
meets with the greatest success. Very
few and perhaps no other line of bust
ness could be engaged in successfully
without careful study of the condi
tons OF that business. Just recently,
the writer knew Of a case where coal
dealer had planned to go into business
for himself the first of March, but
after he had resigned his position he
began studying conditions and found
that coal strike was inevitable. A
strike of this kind. to a man Just start.
ing in business. would be extremely
disastrous and probably result in fail
Urea fate which this man avoided
by studying conditions.
Every farmer should study carefully
the reports, facts and figures sent out
by the U. s. Department Of Agri-
culture. We find in going over the
records that the farm value of $14.64
per ton for hay in 1911 was higher
than has ever occurred before in the
history Of the U. s. Department OF
Agriculture. At no other time, ex-
cepting in 1871, did the price any
where near approach the price 70.

FINE TOBACCO FARM.

What is believed to be the largest
individual tobacco giowing farm in the
world is located i'm Essex county, on
tario. 1t is not an uncommon sight
to see fields ranging from one to TIVE

The largest covers 260 acres. The
plants are raised from the seed in beds
under cotton or glass till they are
ready to plant in the field which is
usually about June Il. If the season is
favorable il requires about three
months for the tobacco TO mature and
ripen before cutting and harvesting

paper in Indiana reported the birth of
a quiEtette of children to a farmer =
wife, 80 years old II was stated that
the children were perfectly formed and
that the mother had two years previ-
ously given birth to triplets. The fam

FRANCES coLoRED TROOPS.

BY the New Year France will have
4 5000 men of the latter under arms.
by 1914 the force will fall little short
of 10000. That is the strength of an
army corps. and France will thus
possess twenty-one instead of twenty
