The matter of supplying teams for a
farm of any size is one that is a mat
ter of Importance from the purely
business standpoint, as well as from
personal interest. There was a 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.
1t is less so now in these days when
making n specially of things has
reached the point that seems almost
a craze. l 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
There has not often, if ever, been a
time in the last two generations when
1t did pay TO raise good horses. And
now, although power vehicles and
power-driven implements have GER
tainly taken the place of vast num-
ber of horses, first-class animals are
selling at as good prices as they ever
did. Consequently, there is profit in
the business, even If at times it is a
little inconvenient.
The thrifty farmer will generally
make something out of every depart
ment, If possible, on the farm where
general farming is done. The amount
that can be made will depend alto
gether on the capacity of the individ-
ual to supply the executive ability
needed to do justice to a variety of
interests.
Not long ago took drive of ten
miles with a 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

READY RESULTS
FROM A DAIRY
Cow Ia Constant Quantity as Far
as Her Production Is 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. If she
is given variety Of good feeds and
general good care. l
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 1t is needed, for general running
expenses and making things go. For
this reason the average dairyman
should become prosperous and have
a 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 every
week.

MAKE THE CROP
FIT THE SOIL
Farmer Needs to Study Require
ments of Variouo Crops lie
Crows 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 a staunch friend of sta

keeping of more and better farm
stock, yet l can see the necessity of

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 1t 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 1t
with the stable manure, but on soils
that are lacking in humus and nitro

sons. Models in which the lines are
simple are sometimes faced and at
other times finished with flange OF

nothing more.
Among the novelties that have been
most successful are those shapes in

the upper brim. This gives a soft

less than mile in five minutes. Her
activity and quick movements made
me think she was a young mare, as
she had none of the appearance of age.
| said to the owner, THAT mare looks
Ike 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 | 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 $175 each.
OF course, it is sometimes a little
annoying to either drive or pillow with
a mare with young colt, but fall
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 profita-
BILE business out of colts at a very
small expense. I never half-starved
our colts. When foaled in the fall
they were ready to run to pasture by
spring, and it is very podr 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 n posi-
tion to get some colts from work
mares I 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.

gen better results will be obtained by
using acid phosphate, which is read
lily available to the growing crops.
With clover and manure plowed un-
der, to liberate potash, and supple
mented with this purchased phospho-
rus, the fertility problem will be
solved on the average stock farm. On
many types of soil potash will be
needed, but the average stock farm
in the middle west has plenty of pot
ash locked up in its soil to produce
good crops for hundred years or
more.

NOT THE FAULT OF OTHERS

Col. Roosevelt and several of his
satellites are reported in the daily
press as having claimed that the in
temperate language of the Republican,
Democratic and Socialist candidates
for the presidency is directly respon-
sible for the attempt on his life at
Milwaukee. This statement is entirely
in keeping with the egotism of the Big
Bull Moose. If the dastardly attempt
on his life. which is regretted by all
Americans, without respect to party,
AN be attributed to inflamatorv
speech, it was no doubt uttered by
himself. When a man of his calibre SO
far forgets his dignity and position in
life as to call the president of the
United States a "receiver of stolen
goods he can have no reasonable
fault to find with what follows. The
law of compensation is still as potent
as ever.
