SAYING THAT IS
WORTH REPEATING
intelligent Care of Land, Crops
and Animals Is Secret OF
Success in Farming.
cBy II. H. sHEPHARD)

This may have been said before, but
1t is worth repeating: You cannot get
something for nothing, even at farm
ing, although they say that crops grow
while the farmer sleeps. SO do the
weeds, and the animals grow hungry
between night and morning. lntelli-
gent care of land, crops and animals
is the secret of success in farming.
And If anything else should be added,
1t is that the farmer must be intensely
In love with his work. He must see
good things in the farming line in all
of his visions.
Don't simply show your wife and
children money in your pockethook aft
err making a good sale. That is mean
and wicked. They helped to make
that money as well as you. Give them
part of it now TO spend in their own
way while you can see them enjoy it,
and perhaps share in their joy. II you
save it for the children to spend after
you are dead-you know the rest, but
you won't know it then.
Cement is cheap this year, but with
it and sand and gravel you can make
some OF the most valuable things on
the farm. A good rule to make on the,
farm is that of building something of
concrete every fall and spring. BY
and by, with little money and labor,
your farm will become substantially
improved, and these improvements will
outlast you and your grandchildren. 1t
is not economy to construct with any
material that Is not efficient and per.
manent.
There is one reason at least why
every farmer should own gasoline en-
CINE, and that is that the boys like to
see 1t work and they learn many good
things from it. The farm boy as rule
takes naturally to machinery, especial
ly anything that moves and has the
get up and go" about it. And the
small gasoline engine has them all
beaten in this line a full country
block. They teach farm mechanics in
the schools, but why not make II pos
sible for the boys to learn some me-
chanics first hand before leaving the
farm?
ABOUT the iuHnleSl tuluS we nave
seen lately was city woman wearing
a hobble skirt trying to get in and out
OF our farm wagon. The assistance of
two able-bodied men and one woman
was required in the operation.
City.bred men are moving onto the
farm In real good faith and bouyant
hopes. Some OF them will have as
much to learn as the old-time farmers
who went to the city few years ago
and put nickles into the slots of cable
car tracks. 1t is about an even tie be-
tween the city man and the farmer
when 1t comes to an examination on
general facts in special lines. Neither
scores the one hundred points mark.
A very saving and economical man

(By III. III. SHEPHARDD
One of our neighbors who Is an old
time and very successful strawberry
grower advocates a very long season
of growth the first year for the new
plants. He sets out his strawberry
plants as soon in March, or thereafter,
as the ground will do to work.
This man has made his living, and
almost fortune, by growing straw
berries and other small fruits. His
berries run on the average from $500
to $500 an acre, the entire seasons

about one mile from his farm. His
berries are always in demand at the
highest prices. because he always
grows good ones.
The secret of his success with straw
berries is in blowing the ground deep
and early, with liberal fertilization in
the form of stable manure. The ma
nure not only furnishes plant foods,
but also adds to the moisture receiv-
ing and holding power of the soil.

fruiting season, when general condi-

The land for the Strawberries is

tegration. During the winter the

ADAPTABILITY OF
SOY BEAN CROP
irregularities of Season viii
Often Cause Aftergrowth-
Easily Harvested.

Soy beans are very similar to cow
peas with respect TO season Of growth
and cultural requirements. Since the
two crops occupy the same place in
crop rotation, it is well to contrast
their adaptability, says a bulletin Of
the Delaware station
Soy beans mature uniformly, the
pods ripening practically at the
same time; cowpeas often bear
ripe pods and blossoms on the same
plant, Irregularities OF season will
frequently cause an aftergrowth of
the plant, condition which does not
obtain with soy beans. This differ
ence in maturing habit is distinctly
in favor of the soy beans, inasmuch
as the latter may be more easily har-
vested for seed or hay than the cow
peas.
Most varieties of soy beans grow
erect or nearly so; cowpeas are whey
and bear the pods SO near the ground
that 1t is less likely to ipjure soy
beans-both in the spring and the fall
when nearly mature-than cowpeas,
which are killed by light forsts.
Soy beans are injured less by insect
enemies and plant disease than cow
peas. II cut at the proper stage OF
maturity, soy beans make a richer
hay than the cowpeas.

crate and waste valuable elements in
the stable manure. .
AS early in the spring as the ground
is dry enough to work the land is
again plowed, disced and dragged
down smooth and fine. Two plowings
OF the ground, one in late fall and the
other in the spring, pay large divi-
dends on the time used. and the man
who expects very large crop of fine
berries must work his ground over
several times. Three or four deep
plowings OF the soil for trawberries
would be better.
In central and southern attitudes
strawberry plants can be set out from
March on through the spring and early
summer. The earlier they are planted
the more sure are they to live, as at
that time the ground is well supplied
with moisture, the days are cool and
new roots soon begin to grow and take
hold of the new SOIL With later plant
ing there is too much danger OF the
plants suffering for moisture, with
consequent stunning Of growth.
But the chief reason for fall plow-
ing of the ground and early setting Is
that the plants win have full benefit
of all growing weather from early in
the spring till late in the fall. This
not only insures a deep and strong
root system for the plants, but perfect
branching with solid matter hills or
rows is effected, and large number
OF strong buds are formed for the first
crop the following season. The long
season of growth makes large and
strong plants, capable OF developing
very heavy crop of the most perfect
fruit.

The one subject on the mind Of ev.

that there are singular ideas current
on the subject of the cost of home

should be 50. For the bizarre and the
eccentric invariably attract attention
that the orderly and the sedate may
not receive. Perhaps the most singu-
lar OF all notions with regard to the
cost OF house, is that a beautiful home
can be acquired at the most moderate
conceivable cost, il one did but know
how to do 1t. Doubtless we would all
get rich IL we could; and while the
crop Of millionaires has been album
