FARM LIFE INDEPENDENT.
Livestock Raising Must Go With
Agriculture.

A system of agriculture in order
to be made permanent must be sup
plemented by the raising of livestock.
Aside from the increase in revenue
derived from engaging in this indus
try the benefits which accrue to both
the farm and farmer by such course
are many and far-reaching When
grain is sold, valuable fertility diff
cult and expensive to replace is dis
posed OF; when the major part of the
farm products are fed and the results
of labor are thus sold in highly con
centrated form. the richness of the
soil is to large degree maintained,
and subsequently yields of quality and
quantity thereby assured. Then, too
by thus increasing the diversity of his
labor more evenly, prevents waste and
fortifes himself against low tides OF
prosperity and adverse conditions
which are beyond his control Farm
operations are thus placed on the SAT
est kind of basis and hazards are
reduced to a minimum Under such a
system of management the proverbial
independence of farm life becomes a
reality
BY beginning with small number
of farm animales and growing much
all of the increase the farmer gets
his start at minimum cost and al
the smallest risk Since several work
horses must be provided it is we'll
If two of them can be brood mares.
These will produce foals and help in.
the farm work at the same time. The
climate Of Wyoming is ideal for rails
ing horses. which because of their Vi
tally are sought after in other mar
kets.
Several good dairy cows go long
way toward helping support the fam
lily. Milk. butter and cheese are high
ly concentrated products have ready
market and bring good profits. The
maintenance of part of the farm for
pasture, together with the growing
of field roots, some gram and forage
crops will keep them in feed.
Where range or rugged pasture land
is available the raising of beef cattle
will be found profitable. Alfalfa. corn
fodder, bronze grass, grain hay. and
small quantities of oats and home
grown grains will quickly fit them for
market
A few sheep permitted to Craze in
the stubble fields will consume weeds
and quantities of forage which other
wise would go to waste. During the
spring and summer there is generally
some available range on which they
can readily subsist. Dwarf essex rape.
peas, cabbage, white hulless barley.
etc. will furnish feed for the rest OF
the year
1t is a mistake for the dry-farmer to
purchase his meat when il can be
grown by keeping hogs. Alfalfa, rape.
peas. barley. etc. can be readily con
yerted into pork; and when skimmilk
is available pork production becomes
still more profitable
The hen will finally prove to be the
best CLEANER OF all. During consider
able part of the year she will earn
her own way, and at the end of the
year can generally show that she has
been the most valuable investment on
the farm.

FARM AND GARDEN.

Straw is much too valuable 10 be IL
lowed to rot i'll the stack.
Barley and oats as well as wheat
are usually improved in quality on
flax land
1t is a common but erroneous opn
ion that beets are especially hard on
ihc land
tlialfa is the most wonderful of al.
cultivated planys and the Oldest one
known to history.
You cannot make as good silage
from dry corn stalks as you Can rom
mature green corn.
One of the best forms OF Investment
on the farm is the liberal feeding of
farm animals of all kinds.
1t will take good farming to keep
up an increase soil fertility without
purchasing seed grown outside.
Another argument Cor the slot
is a weed killer. No weed seed that
goes into "A silo ever comes out alive,
Better copy the farmer who pro
duccS his yields at th2 lowest cost
than the man who produces the larg
est yields
The ground sh, uld never be allow
cd to become baked. as in this cord'
ton a great deal of moisture is lost
unnecessarily.
Swamp land. when drained and
lined. and worked in corn for a year
or two, should be seeded to grass and
kept in permanent meadow.
Cultivation is moisture conserva-
tor. but If the ground is dry don't run
the cultivator teeth deep. Keep the
top soil stirred only.

Young Chicks First Feed.

Everyone has his own way OF feed
ing. | have changed mine consider
ably in the last five years. The first
feed I gave chicks the last four or five
years has been about 40 err cent

cracked corn and wheat must be very
fine. about one-ffth of the kernel o

Bad Roads Cost $4,000, 900 a Year.

Improved roads will yield an ad
ditional income by enabling the farm
err to cultivate with profit land which
otherwise. would be less proftably
employed.
There are about 4OO,OOOOO0 acres of
unimproved farm land in the United
States. An average annual profit OF
50 cents an acre on this land would
mean net gain to the wealth of the
United States of $20O,000,0O0 year.
Truck products and small fruits
must be delivered quickly to market ii
any profit is to be realized. Truck
and small fruit farms cannot be main
tanned with profit if a long haul over
bad roads intervenes between them
and the railroad station.
A network of hrst-class, hard
smooth roads will almost Immediately
increase the number of truck, fruit
and dairy farms in any community.
While the average value of wheat per
acre is only $703 and corn 1872, the
average value of vegetables per acre
is about $40 and of small fruits $50.
As an idea of the loss to the farm
ers in Texas on last years cotton
wheat and corn crops an estimate has
been made of how much would have
been saved if Texas had better roads,
the figures being based upon govern
ment reports.
About $l,500,O00 would have been
saved on the cotton haul. $800,0 on
the wheat crop and approximately
$l0,000,O00 on the corn crop. These
estimates were made for the purpose
of showing how necessary good roads
are for the farmer if he is going to
prosper

Trim the Roots.

Never set out tree with all OF its
roots just as it comes from the mr
sery. Trim the roots as intelligentiy
as you would the top.

Money Value of Bees.

II the farmer beekeeper got nothing
but honey from the bees it would still
pay largely to keep them on the place,
but furnishing sweets for the table is
the very least of the good they do, for
in the matter OF pollination of fruit
blossoms the actual money benefit
the bees are to their keeper is tenfold
