At last the earnest efforts OF our

something to be proud Of and which
indeed is credit To their district.

Some Of the residents have sub

send their magazines from home. az

Agricultural Commissioner h. ~.
Cottrell Of the Rock Island Railway
lines gives the following suggestions
on dry farming and dairying:
The new settler In q dry land dis
trict in the Southwest should have q
farm Of 500 acres. II he does not
have sufficient capital to justify the
purchase Of 800 acres, he should buy
100 acres and arrange to lease 100
acres Of unbroken land.
On the 320-acre farm, 100 should
be kept in native grass to be used Is
needed for a pasture either summer
or winter. The native grass has new
er been appreciated by the dry land
farmers. Nine out Of every ten Of
them have a craze for blowing up all
the land for which they can secure
title. Ninety-nine dry land farmers
out Of every hundred have from two
to ten times a. much land under cnl-
tivation as they can handle thor
oughly. The result is failure after
failure TO raise good crops. while II
such an acreage only as can be well
worked is under cultivation, the
yields will be good in most years.
Many dry land farmers fail because
they have 100 to 200 acres per man
under cultivation when they have
team power sufficient for forty acres
only.
A l6O-acre native grass pasture Is
one Of the most certain assets Of a
320-acre dry land farm. The native
grasses have been thoroughly adapt
ed to soil and climate by thousands
of years Of struggle. in which the
fittest have survived. From four to
eight acres will furnish feed for a
COW through the summer and an
equal acreage, not pastured in the
summer, will supply good share
Of the feed she needs in winter. In
a long continued drought the native
grass gets short, but always supplies
some feed, and the deficiency can be
made up BY silage.
An Iowa farmer came TO Luna
county too late In the fall to raise
crops. On the farm that he bought
was a good native grass pasture that
had not been used during the sum-
mer. Cows on this pasture as their
only feed returned an average Of
- per month per COW. The reason
that winter pasture an the dry farm.
ing lands is so valuable is that there
is so little rainfall during the fall
and winter. The grass cures where
it grows and there Is no moisture To
wash away the nutriment. The ma
tive pasture deserves good care. II
should not be over pastured and
when weeds develop they should be
cut.
Sixty acres In cultivated crops
should be planted to kafir, milo or
feterita. depending ON the rainfall.
Twenty acres for hay should be
sown to winter rye, sorghum or mil
let. as the rainfall and farm work
make advisable. Five acres may be
sown to sweet clover and II Is prob
able that the amount will be increas-
ed after the farmer learns how to
raise and feed the crop.
Forty acres for small grain should
be sown only In seasons when the
soil is in such condition as to force
rapid growth after seeding. In other
years this land may Be summer fall
lowed by listing and planted to cul-
iivated crops the following spring.
One acre Of the Ave selected for
home grounds should be used for q
garden and irrigated from the wind
mill. This acre viii supply more
vegetables, berries. rhubarb and as
paraeus than q large family can use
through the year.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1914-09-25
OARYNe PROFITABLE IN DRY FARMING BELT

The new settler on the dry land
farm will have to SOW rye, winter
wheat, rape and sorghum for his hog
pasture until he can get sweet clover
or alfalfa established. Ten acres, in
an ordinary year, is sufficient to
pasture five brood sows and their
pigs.
To utilize the crops from a 800
acre farm in the dry land district,
one well managed according to this
plan, there will be required twenty
good dairy cows, five brood sows and
100 or more hens.
Choice cows, well fed. will return
s75 COW yearly from the sale Of
cream; good grade cows, $50 each
a year, and poor ones, $25 each.
Twenty good grade cows properly
selected will return to their owner
81 900 q year. besides the skim milk
and the butter, cream and milk used
by large family.
With ordinary care. thirty pigs can
be raised Ia marketable age from Eve
good brood sows. The farmer can
take Ave for his own use and sell
twenty Ave. AT fair price these
will sell for 5000. The last two years
they would have brought 1915 to
s4O0.
II the dry land farmer will select
a good laying strain of fowls and
keep only early Matched pullets and
one year-old hens, and make a bust
ness Of taking care Of them. he eau
make ~ TO - hen a year above all
cash outlay. The only feed that he
will have to buy will be meat. oyster
shells and grit. Skim milk will take
the place Of most of the meat. One
hundred hens. rightly managed. will
return 5000 a year, besides all the
eggs, fries and roasters the family
wants.
A fair yearly cash income from a
320-acre dry land farm. well manag-
ed according to this plan. will be
from cows. 1000: hogs, 1900: poul-
try. 5000; total, 81 500. and boun-
tiful living for large family. In
poor years the return may be less
in good years. more. There IL not an
item In this account that cannot be
increased by expert management. A
skilled dairyman with choice COWS
will secure $500 a year from the
sale Of cream alone. In seasons fov-
ornble TO grain. the forty acres Of
small grain will bring 800 to 5000.
A special feature Of this plan is
that through the sales Of cream and
butter a weekly cash income is Sc
cured throughout the year. The sur
plus forage crops produced in the
good years can be held over to sup
ply the deficiency In dry seasons. The
dry land farmer will not be forced to
sell them.
This income Is based ON an ade-
quate equipment Of teams and stock
and thorough farming. II the equip
ment Is insufficient. or the stock Of
the wrong type, or the management
poor. the returns will be lessened In
proportion to the lack. II the farmer
is lazy or incompetent. or belongs to-
the always "unlucky" class, the in
come may drop any amount down to-
nothing. Dry land farming is a busi-
ness that men without farm training
should let strictly alone. They can
count. with rare exceptions, ON alb
solute failure.
Dairyine Is the one never failing
resources in dry land
farming for the family With little
capital. The native Wild grass is a
dependable dairy feed. Kanr and
sorghum, when given good treatment,
never fail to produce feed crops.
