LITTLE GENERAL FARM PAYS
Profit sseured In Poultry as Well as
Horses, Mules, Dairy Stock.
Sheep sad Hogs.
6By W. H. sHEPARDD


A neighbor Of ours makes poultry
a strong side line Of his farming. He
grows q great variety OF plants and
keeps and feeds . variety of animals
His poultry Sales amount to near
ly $500 each year and he feeds his
grown chickens nothing except what
they pick up about the place, but
through his methods OF cropping and
feeding they ssesre an abundance,
and respond accordingly.
The same neighhor keeps and grows
horses and mules. dairy stock, sheep
and hogs.
From the poultry and cows he has
a constant daily cash income
From the horses and mules he sells
each year one or two animals at 500
or more . piece.
From the sheep he has wool to sell
in early spring. and lambs later in
the summer. and from the hogs he
sells from 500 to 5000 worth every
two or three months.
He grows wheat. oats. corn, hay and
. variety of forage crops. besides a
good orchard. truck patches. and gar
den from which nearly all the family
eatables are grown. with some fruits
and vegetables to sell
He also sells from slGO to 5000
worth Of wheat each year. and his
dairy products amount to $40O per
year. and all from farm of less than
100 acres.
Any general farmer who plans and
executes can grow variety of plants
and animals on . small farm, make
good money from the crops. and at
the same time build up his land faster
than by special cropping.

EARLY InoeulatIen.

1t is interesting to examine young
alfalfa plants and note how quickly
they obtain the benefit of nitrogen.
gathering bacteria. Plants less than
four weeks old may have two or three
nodules on a single root and have a
countless number of bacteria furnish
ing nitrogen from the air. When land
is first inoculated by the use OF soil
from an old field one may find much
unevenness in the size of plants at
an early age. due to the fact that the
taller plants are getting an abundance
of nitrogen. while the smaller plants
have few or no bacteria at work for
them. 1t is for this reason that a sec.
ond seeding on land that has been
made to grow alfalfa successfully Is
much surer than first seeding.

condition of boys In the cities. says
the country boy, II he has the chance
of an education and lives In a good
home, has deal better time than the
flat-bred, steam-heated city boy.
The city boy has no opportunity to
bring in the wood, milk the cows, gath
er nuts or go out into the woods. and
SO has no part In the home work.
The city is mean to him. He sell
dom puts his foot on the ground be-
cause 1t il all covered up with stones
and cement.
He has no neighbors. for people
move every year, and sometimes Of.
tener, SO what's the use of getting &C
quainted. There are no real homes
in fats-not like the homes of the
country. where people live in one
place for years and grow up with their
relatives and neighbors around them
and where the ties of friendship are
strong and satisfying
II the city boy let's out yell or
plays ball in the streets or swipes an
apple. the police are down on him In q
moment.
The country boy can whoor. whis-
tie and sing as much as he pleases
and II occasionally he strays into a
neighbors orchard and comes out in q
fit of absentmindedness with melon
under his arm. or dozen apples in
side his shirt, he is not arrested! Cen
orally he is invited to help himself
and come again If the neighbor sees
him.
In the city everybody is against the
boy. The people upstairs complain to
the janitor that he makes too much
noise: he is not allowed to sit on
the doorstep. and 80 he drifts into the
crowds Of bad boys around the cor
ner. who are bad because they are not
allowed to do things that every
healthy, well-ordered boy wants to
do.

Bill Spaugh Dies in Prison.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, August %,
1913.-Refused a sick parole SO that he
might die at the home of his mother,
William Spaugh, who was serving a
life sentence in the Missouri peniten-
tiary for the killing of Sheriff John
W. Polk of Iron County, May %, 1905,
died to-day of tuberculosis in the pris-
on:hospital. Mrs. Mary Spaugh, his
SO-year old mother, and Arthur
Spaugh, a younger brother, the latter
serving 55 years for the same offense,
were with him when he died. The
mother will take the body to Ironton
for burial.
William Spaugh contracted tuber-
culosis shortly after he "a brought
to the penitentiary. For several weeks
he has been near death. Arthur
Spaugh also has tuberculosis and is
able to do only light work.
Arthur Spaugh, in an attempt to Sc
cure a parole for his brother SO he
could be taken home to die, recently
confessed that it was he and not Will
liam Spaugh who killed Sheriff Polk.
Mrs. Spaugh, the mother, has been
working ever since the Imprisonment
Of her sons to get them out. She has
spent weeks in Jefferson City, plead
ing first with Gov. Folk, then with
Gov. Hadley and last with Gov. Major
for the parole Of her sons. But she
has always been handicapped by the
protests which came from the friends
of the sheriff killed and the feeling
against her two sons. She declared
to-day that she will ask the governor
to parole Arthur so that he will not
have to die in prison.
