PRACTICAL TESTS
IN NEW FARMING
Missouri Station Making Coop
erative Experiments With
Farmers of That State.

The Missouri experiment station is
making cooperative experiments with
the farmers in 105 of the ia counties
of the state. These cooperative eX-
periments are conducted for the pur-
pose of determining the best methods
of soil tilage, varieties of farm crops,
methods of fruit production, profitable
dairy farms and the organization and
administration Of farm enterprises.
In 1911, there we're 366 men IN los
counties cooperating with the central
Experiment Station of Columbia in ex-
periments to determine the best meth
DDS of farming; In carrying on this
work. 5000 packages of seed and more
than 10000 pounds of fertilizer were
used
These cooperative experiments have
already demonstrated that alfalfa
can be successfully grown in every
county of the state.
The horticulture Investigations in
eight different districts have shown
that by proper fertilization of or
chards and timely spraying, the profits
from orcharding in Missouri may be
greatly increased
The dairy farm co-operators on sew
en- farms in southwest Missouri have,
under the direction of the dairy de-
partment, increased their profits in
some cases more than 20 per cent.
The assistance given to farmers by
the department of farm management
in the organization and administra-
ton have accomplished in some cases
extraordinary results in increasing
yields. Some OF the owners of farms
cooperating in this work have made
the following statements in reference
to the value of this work GU their in
dividual farms:
l. The yield has been increased
at least four fold; corn from 10 to 40
bushels per acre
2. The financial side of my farm
ing has been helped from three to five
hundred dollars"
3. The financial side has been
helped $1,000 this year"
A. The returns from my farm this
year have been at least $1,000 more
than they were before"
5. Farm management has been
the cause of my remaining on the
farm. 1t put my farm on a business
basis, restored confidence in my worn
out farm. greatly increased the fertil.
ity of the farm. 1t has also lightened
the labor of myself and family, en-
couraging us very much as we can see
a bright future in store for us.

PROPER SYSTEM
OF BOOKKEEPING
Value of Farmer Keeping Account
of Farm Management Same
as Business Man.

Farmers Bulletin 511 of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture contains some in
teresting facts and recommendation
in connection with bookkeeping on the
farm. THAT there are over six mil
lion farms in the country which util'
ize land, labor, and capital as means
of income making" gives the author,
the opportunity to discuss the subject
of the value of the farmer keeping an
accurate and systematic account of his
farm management the same as the
business man or the railroad mag
nate.
This bulletin is not an attempt to
outline a system Of bookkeeping for
the farmer. 1t is rather q discussion
of the principles which are applicable
lieved that any farmer who studies
this bulletin sufficiently to grasp these
principles will be able to devise a sys
TEN suited to his particular needs.
Two important points must be con
sidered in an attempt at farm book
keeping. What does it cost to pro.
duce farm products? BY selling at
market prices, what profit is made on
them?
The problem of the farmer is to
meet conditions on his own farm in
way which will give him the greatest
net returns for his labor and the use
of his capital. He should receive in.
terest on his capital as well as wages
for his labor, but owing to the lack OF
proper records few farmers know
what wages they actually receive
There is reason to believe that the ma
jority of farmers are really living Oh

These suggestions are offered:

mer or his family receive anything for
their labor unless they are paid IL
cash the same as hired labor. If there
is surplus at the end of the year, IL
is their compensation In this way
the accounts will not be confused With
items not strictly cash
(S) Farm products used by the
household should not be credited to
the farm in the cash account along
with the products sold. but should bO
taken care of separately"

the lower notch to the base of the up
per notch in the triangular support Is
three feet, which gives sufficient
height to the fence to suit its purpose
for fencing in either hogs, sheep or
calves. In constructing the Panels or
hurdles this distance should be kept
in mind when the upper and lower
boards are nailed to the uprights. OBJ
viously the distance from the lower
edge of the lower board to the lower
edge of the top board must CORE

The length of the panels may be eth

If the hurdles and triangular sup
ports of this style of panel fence are
carefully constructed of good material
and are carefully and properly stored
away under suitable protection from
the weather, they will give service for
a long term of years and will not be

SCOFFERS
Often Make the Staunehest Converts.

The man who SCOTS at an idea or
doctrine which he does not fully UNI
derstand has at least the courage to
show where be stands.
The gospel of Health has many con-
verts who formerly laughed at the
idea that coffee and tea, for example,
ever hurt anyone, Upon looking into
the matter seriously, often at the sug-
gestion of a friend, such persons
have found that Postum and friends
advice have been their salvation.
my sister was employed in an east
ern city where she had to do calculat-
ing" writes an Okla. girl. "She suf-
fered with headache until she was al
most untitled for duty.
"Her landlady persuaded her to quit
coffee and use Postum and in few
days she was entirely free from head
ache (Tea is just as injurious as
coffee because it contains caffeine, the
same drug found in coffee.) "She told
her employer about it. and on trying
it, he had the same experience.
my father and have both suffered
much from nervous headache since
can remember, but. we scoffed at the
idea advanced by my sister, that cof-'
fee was the cause of our trouble.
However, we finally quit coffee and
began using Postum Father has had
but one headache now in four years,
due to a severe cold, and 1 have lost
my headaches and sour stomach,
which l am now convinced came from
coffee.

Will the apple ever again become
an article Of common consumption?
Or will 1t remain in the luxury list.
somewhere, say, between truffles and
bacon? There have been no eating
apples within the range of any but
the latest pocketbook for many sea-
sons. while the character of the pie
apple is such as to require uncommon
aptitude for the composition OF the
crust to make pie fit to eat; or else
the cost of the filling has required
that the pie must be nearly all crust.
A big crop is now in prospect and
new orchards are coming to fruitage
every season; such is the temptation
of the soaring quotations, says the
Providence Journal. At this juncture
one of the orators at an apple grow
ers' convention has the nerve to pro-
pose an advertising campaign. lest
there be overproduction Does not
this proposal mean that the growers
nre determined to maintain prices as
the supply Increases? Something is
said about instrycting women in the
theory that eating apples beauties
the complexion. That ought to create
market, to be sure But there need
be no fear Of lack of demand. Ap-
pies will need no advertising II the
price is right. And any artiflce cal
culated to maintain high prices should
be frowned upon by the hard-pressed
consumer.
