.neighbor paid the rent on a 139-
acre farm and made the family liv-
ing from the poultry alone.
The family on this ideal farm
should sell dairy products annually,
from each COW an average of $40,
or $3.50 worth. If your COW does
not return you $40 annually, you
should rid your farm of her. This
is conservative. The family should
sell at least three horses in two
years, or an average of one and one
half horses per year, or, in money,
$500. From these items, poulrry,
dairy and horses, the family should
sell total of $1,000. This is not
an inflated estimate. 1t is being
done right along.
The family on my ideal farm
should keep twenty good brood sows,
and they should breed two filters
from each SOW annually. A SOW
that will not cast and raise to wean-
ing time six good, square-with-the-
world pigs at each narrowing time,
or twelve pigs annually, is not a
profitable animal to keep on the
farm. 1t is no trick to select SOW,
or twenty sows, that will do this
thing, if you will give them a fair
chance. 1t is no trick, with good
hogs, good quarters, good pasture,
good water, good oats, good corn,
good clover hay and good care, to
make these pigs average $50 pounds
at ten months of age. In a period
of years you will get an average of
six cents per pound for your hogs, or
an average of SIS per hog and your
twenty sows will raise 240 hogs, and
you will sell $4,000 worth of hogs
annually. Mr.. Farmer, it can be
done.
Thus from these four items of in
come you will receive at least $4,000,
You will purchase $1,000 worth OF
feed, leaving you an income OF
$500. From this take 5000 for in
cidentals, and this will leave you
net income of $4,000 annually
You will not be able to reach this
figure the first year, but with good
management you can come close to
it the second year

stand of clover and a larger crop OF
hay.
Next year you should cut two tons
of hay per acre, and your hay will be
good for your horses, your cows,
your hogs and your chickens, and
your clover will furnish you thirty
acres of fine pasture just as your
permanent pasture is becoming
short. If you do not need it for pas
ture, you can cut a second crop and
have it for hay or hull it out for
seed, or if your ground needs it, you
can pillow under green crop of ma
nure However, this is expensive.
The real fertilizing value of clover
is not in the top, but in the little
nodules along, the rootlets.
Land handled in this manner for
a period of ten years should yield
annually an average of two tons of
clover, fifty bushels of oats, sixty
bushels of corn, and leave the land
richer and the farmer happier.
The sources of income from my
ideal farm are as follows: (a) gar
den, OBJ apiary, (c) poultry, Cd
dairy products, (e) horses, CD hogs.
Under the head of garden, will in

(c) raspberry, strawberry, black
