said Mr.. Pease, that in the last ten

The existing secondary school facili-

Pease, who suggested that the "Acad-

description in a recent novel, was IAN
outstanding fact in our educational

Dairy COWS do not have the ability
TO make something cut of nothing.
The highly developed special purpose
dairy COWS. the most profitable pro-
ducers. cannot be kept in a northern
latitude without a liberal supply OF
grain food If We had pasture grass
at all times of the year it would be diff
ferent; but dairyiDg has so far made
more progress in colder climate,
where II is necessary TO house the herd
and feed them inside during the win
ter months.
A great change Is gradually coming
over the dairy business On the ma
jority Of farms the dairy business has
in its fullest and most profitable de-
velopment, been built up largely upon
a basis Of cheap grains and CONNER
eial oy-products from the grain pro
dueing states.
In many dairying sections in the
eastern and middle states where milk
production is the leading branch Of
agriculture, the plow has been largely
laid aside, the farms converted into
the growing of hay and ensilage, the
great gain garden OF the west furnish
ing the main elements required to
make milk Is this the most protita
Bile type of dairy farming to develop
in other sections? Shall dairy farm
ers be content to utilize their expen-
sive land for the growing of hay and
ensilage corn. increase the number of
cows kept on their farms and depend
upon the grain growing states to fur
nish them with large portion of their
cattle foods? This is a question that
must be worked out before a man can
adopt any definite policy in the build
ing up OF his dairy business.
The constantly increasing demand
for these feed stuffs and grain feeds
is making their use almost prohibitive
TO dairy farmers Should this induce
us to go out of the business or to sell
some of our cows 1t is certain to
prove blessing to us in the end. Al
though 1t may decrease the number
OF cows kept on many farms. it Is go
ing TO open up TO US the possibilities
now lying dormant in our soils and be
the means of causing US 10 adopt 9TH
er crops that are better suited to our
economic needs. 1t is going to en-
courage the growth of more and better
dairy foods and highly organized truck
and market crops that will afford US
funds outside of the dairy to pay for
the concentrated foods that are need
ed to balance the rations of the high
producing cows. | have had expert
ence in the growing of potatoes and
various other market crops on dairy
farms, and l will say without hesita-
ton that By depending upon the ma
nure from our dairy cows and clover
crop for nitrogen and by the purchase
OF mineral fertilizers carrying good
amounts of phosphoric acid and pot
ash, We can develop a better and more
profitable system of dairy farming and
crop growing and greatly increase the
stock carrying capacity of our farms.
Many dairy farmers are situated in
localities where market crop growing
may not prove adapted to their farms.
and such men would undoubtedly find
greater profits in growing some grain
crop in place of money crop and
right here allow me to suggest that

they grow some heed crop that no
quires intense cultivation during the
whole Of the growing season. Inc

of the intense cultivation given some
hoed crop. the more | have come 10
appreciate its value in the crop rota-
ton. No practical farmer who has
given some hoed crop intense cult
Walton during the whole Of the grow
ing season has failed to note the GOOD
effects upon succeeding crops in the
rotation.
Years ago the farmers in many sec
tons practiced following the land
during the summer in preparation for
a crop of wheat or to clean 1t OF
weeds, but during recent years the in
creased cost Of labor and the higher
prices for farm products has made
its use prohibitive; besides, the prac-
teal farmers have discovered that
hoed crop Will accomplish all that a
bare faIlow possibly can, and still
pay better than any other crop that
is grown in the rotation.
Too many dairy farmers believe
that feeding dairy cows will make the
soil rich regardless Of its management.
They think the COWS will keep up the
soil. This belief has caused many
men to neglect every modern method
Of soil handling and to depend upon
the application of a few loads of sta
BILE manure to correct every torture
of nature and restore the fertility OF
their soil after it has been subjected
to twenty or more years of plant food
dissipation. With the manure made
from feeding purchased grains thou
sands of dairy farmers have not main
tanned the productivity of their farms.
Dairymen very often do not know
what high class cultivation is. By
careful management and intense cul-
tivation a small amount of stable ma
nure viii go a leng way toward keep
ing up and increasing the fertility of
the soil
Another advantage of more thor
ough cultivation is the fact that we
can utilize our hired labor to a bet
ter advantage, for the same men and
horses required to care for the cows
can easily manage another crop that
can be added to the rotation, with a
minimum amount of extra day help.
know that this is not going to agree
with the views of many dairy farm
ers, especially those in the western
states, and have seen the extension Of
city milk and cream routes into the
country and the building and extern
sion of the condensery and powdered
milk business, and have seen dairy
farmers form unwarranted ideas of the
prosperity and ease which would fol-
low these new markets, but for some
reason or other their plans did not
work out, for when they deducted
their feed bills from their milk checks.
their profits were small. The wall
from dairymen in many sections who
are praeticing an exclusive system of
milk production at the expense of ev-
cry other branch OF farming does not
show them to be making as much
money as the men who are plodding
along on their own farm and growing
as nearly as possible a balanced ra-
ton for their COWS and giving every
acre of their land intense cultivation.

SELECTION OF COTTON SEED
Double Profit May Be Reaped, One

The thing to do is to go into the

pick the best cotton from the best
stalks separate from the general run
of the crop and have them ginned sep.

cleaned the gin. The next year you

PLANNING Farm Work.

The farm work should be planned

This can be done by proper rotation,

ARE DECREASING

Fatalities in and about the QuGrrics
in the United States were fewer in
1913 than in 1912, but were higher in

2i3 in 1912, a decrease of II per cent
The number of men employed was

1912 In France the death rate in 1912
