LIVE STOCK MEANS SUCCESS
No Better Place for Farmer to Market
Corn and Rouehage Than to
Give to Animals.

On nearly every farm live stock
raising is merely a side line where 1t
should be the main thing. There Is
no place where the farmer can market
his corn and roughage so profitably as
feeding It to good live stock. The mar
ket is right at home in the feed lot
and no long hauls to town are neces-
sary. If a farmer can feed his 60-cent
corn to good hogs which will pay him
so cents for it, does he not make an
advance on the price of his corn and
a profit in the fertility returned to the
soil, as we'll as a saving of expense in
hauling? Breeding pure-bred live
stock Is a business which should be
entered gradually and retired froam
reluctantly. Improving the common
stock a little each year will lead up to
the pure-bred business. There can
exist no permanent system of agri-
culture without live stock and, on high
priced land, pure-bred stock is the
only kind to have.

FUNCTIONS OF TILE DRAINS
Farmer Cannot Afford to Wait on Ma
ture and Must Provide Artificial
Means OF Drainage.

Drainage is the limiting factor on
uanv farms where the hand of man
has not assisted nature in the re-
moval of free soil water, says Farm
Press. Nature has furnished us with
a surface drainage system IN our
rivers, creeks and rivulets. In some
places she has provided subter-
ranean drainage in sand and gravel
subsoil.
If allowed to take it's time, the
water would follow small passage
WAYS to some natural outlet, but the
agriculturist cannot wait. Where the
soil is underlaid with heavy clay
hardpan, sand or limestone rock, 1t ls
necessary for man to assist nature.
He resorts to digging a trench from
two and one-half to three feet IN
depth. above the impervious stratum,
and place therein a tile drain. rms
tile rapidly carries away the free wa
ter that rises to or above the stratum
of hard clay or rock.
The function of the drain is not so
much to remove water as 1t passes
downward as it is to carry 1t away as
is rises to the tile level. A gooo
crop Is dependent upon large root
system. Since me root system or the
plant will not develop in free soil
water, the shallow laying of the drain
tile means a small crop. Deep laying
of the tile provides a large feeding
area for the roots of big crop. Deep
drainage and frequent shallow cultiva-
ton smile at droughts.

PQDRRYWfS

If the flock is not culled every year
It will deterioriate rapidly.
Attention to detail often means sue
cess in the poultry business.
The merits of the scratching shed
are shown during bad weather.
The incubator should be in readi-
ness before 1t is time to start 1t.
Overcrowding is one OF the worst
and most frequent mistakes made BY
poultrymen.
Allow chickens of all sizes a good
dust bath. They enjoy 1t, from the
smallest to the largest.
Dry mash, charcoal and grit can be
fed in a box covered with half-incn
poultry netting, without waste.
Don't keep unsightly or crippled
chickens, even though they have been
valuable birds in their day.
Some tell the sex Of the guinea fowl
by its wattles. Those of the male are
double the size of the female.
Some of the causes of roup are sud
den and extreme changes in temperar
ture, damp houses and draughts.
A good poultryman is industrious
not easily discouraged, filled with
pluck and grit and full Of ambition.
Have your fowls so tame that you
can 20 among them without causing
fright. You will get better egg pro
duction.
Excited men and women make ex
cited birds, and that has bad enec'

the birds.

Filth and health are arch enemies.
Recklessness is a short road to

Cut the cost Of production by using
machinery wherever you can.
The thing that counts is to make
every foot Of land producer.
Thanks to scientific methods, the
drudgery Of farm life is being forced
back into the limbo Of time.
It doesn't cost any more to be
clearly than otherwise. And there's
more profit and satisfaction In 1t. too.
Scientific farming has Joined hands
with practical farming in the great
work Of feeding the nation and the
world.
to be detected by the naked eye is un-
fit for either man or beast to take
into the body.
The manure that is taken from the
barn yard to the field is out Of the
way before spring work and it makes
a great improvement in the farm sur
roundings.
Root crops. such as parsnips. beets,
and carrots, may be prevented from
shriveling In the winter II they are
covered slightly with dry sand in the
bin or box
A plump. heavy kernel will produce
a stronger plant and nourish 1t bet
ter than a shrunken, light one, or
than one which has size without pro-
portionate weight
The farming business is getting to
be big proposition. Farm life Of to
day means more than the daily round
of chores. with the long, idle winter
spent reading the almanac.
