A Successful Farmer.

/ j. T. Alderman Of Hume who was
in Butler Tuesday looking over Char
ley Argenbright's herd Of cattle,
dropped in at The Times office for q
few minutes chat with the boys. He
reports a fine rain near Hume and is
very optimistic regarding the crop
outlook in this part of the state. He
says that wheat is as fine as it could
possibly be at this time Of year. Mr..
Alderman, who owns 400 acres ly-
ing just north east of Hume is prob
ably one of the most successful farm
ers in Southwest Missouri.
Last year he bought three carloads
of cattle from CharleyArgenbright at
an average Of $50 per head and after
feeding them for Al months on crushed
corn and cotton seed meal sold So
head at an average of $74, clearing
$4,000 above first cost on the transac-
ton. 8 head of the SO were steers of
his own raising.
Mr.. Alderman said: ''None of
these cattle had silo feed, and l be-
lieve that / put one over on the silo
fellows this time. / expect to buy
more cattle soon if they get a little
cheaper. In order to make good
farmer must feed his stuff all on his
own farm. l have already covered
80 acres with manure and have
enough left for so acres more. This
fall after l sell my cattle l will have
800 wagon loads by conserving the
manure, which is done by spreading
a layer of rotten hay or straw overthe
feed lots every few days"
Mr.. Alderman for all his hard
work believes in enjoying the good
things in life and his home is modern
in every respect. The house and
yard are lighted with gas and he has
his own water works system operat-
ed by force pumps. He has contract
ed for $4,000 automobile. Although
he has amassed a competence Mr..
Alderman evidently has no intention
of getting out of harness. When
asked when he expected to retire he
replied that he expected to quit work.

from his present physical condition
that will be good many years hence.
