LOOK AHEAD

The price of grain is up, and the
price of hogs is down. Why? Be
cause so many farmers are rushing
their hogs on the market in order to
avoid feeding them high priced grain
that the supply of porkers temper
arily exceeds the demand. With
normal supply of hogs, the price
would have to go up, to meet the IN
creased cost of the feed which they
consume. 1t is almost sure OF make
a decided gain, as soon as the pres
eut offerings have been gobbled up
at a low price. The war in Europe
is certain to boost the price OF 1--we
stock Just as it has boosted the price
of grain. The man who has made
start in stock raising, dalrylng OF
intensive farming, is foolish to yleld
to the temptation to go back to rals-
ing wheat exclusively. The present
high price of grain is not an I'M
mitigated blessing to the farmers Tor
the reason that it will lead so many
of them to sacrifice everything else
in order to put all their land ana
labor into producing wheat,

DON'T BE 4 CROUCH

While the lot of those OF us who
must gain livelihood by actual
physical toll is not so easy as it
might be, still there is no sense or
use in taking things too seriously
and going about with crouch.
Many, in fact, the most of our
troubles, are traceable to our own
shortcomings, and, while it is right
and proper to keep a weather eye on
things and folks generally, as a rule,
the biggest devil we have to contend
with is ourselves, and we make
great mistake when we lose sight of
this fact.
1t is a rule of law that if we de-
mand equity we must do equity and
it is a pretty safe proposition that
the man who gets the best and most
out of life is the man who rises
above selfish interest and does what
he can to promote the happiness and
well-being of others.
Whenever a man allows himself
to become soured, INDUCES in self
pity and begins to look on everybody
and everything with suspicion, that
man is done for.
That grouching leads to this is
true beyond question, therefore,
don't crouch! Keep clean, think
clean thoughts and greet the sun of
each day that is given you cheer
fully, bravely and with confidence.
Don't make yourself miserable be-
cause you haven't all the things
your (seemingly) more fortunate
neighbor has. Happiness is largely
state. rather than a condition, and
It often is the case with those who
seem to have so many of the good
things that they are in the plight of
the poor devil who had imbibed too
freely: Don't want any more and
wish l didn't have what | is got, -

years to replace the shortage in live
stock.
Now is the time to look ahead and

rather than to act hastily, taking
into consideration only the present
market quotations.

The Smith-LeVer Act

gress has passed the famous Smith
Lever act providing for extension
work in each state III cooperation
with the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. After making flat appro-
priatiOn of $4,000 to each state,
there is added each year an increas-
ing amount proportional to the agri-
cultural population of the state at,
the last general census. This added
amount must be duplicated by the
state. To enjoy the benefits of this
act its provisions must be formally
accepted by legislative enactment
and the requisite amount of money
provided. All this legislation has
come about since the passage of the
Mill Tax and it is obvious that addi-
tional provision should be made for
the added duties.
Department of Dry Farm Demonstra-
ton and Experiment
An insistent and yet perfectly
reasonable demand has led the Board
of Regents to establish the above
named department in embryo. 1t is
clear that the states interests are
directly so heavily involved in this
matter that added provision should
be made for this important work.
Experimental Work
1t might be added that the public
need and the public demand for ex-
perimental work can not much long
er be depressed. 1t is likewise clear
that whatever is done must not be
done by the robbing of existing ap-
preparations for the support of the
college, but by funds appropriated
directly for this work. The attitude
OF the Board of Regents relative to
| detrimental Work in Dry Farming,
Irrigation, ETC., is that the institution
stands ready to fulfill its whole duty
If the funds be provided and the
duties imposed. 1t will expect those
directly interested in the various
projects to secure the funds for the
purpose.

New Duties

Three new public obligations have
been placed upon our shoulders since
the passage of the Mill Tax law,
none of which were then contemplate
ed, and all such added duties ought to
be provided for by the appropriation
of additional funds for this purpose.
Bureau of Farm Development
The first of these is the creation
OF the Bureau of Farm Developm ent,
consisting OF the Boards of County
Commissioners of each county and
the Director of the Experiment Sta
ton. This bureau is charged with
the appointment of County Agricul-
turists and the propaganda for ag
ricultural development in each of the
various counties. The executive
duties fall upon the college men, in
Guiding a vice director, and involve
considerable travelling expense, cler-
zeal help, publications, etc. 1t is a
great cooperative movement, but
thus far, no money has been ap-
propriated for it. 1t goes without
saying that the money for this
purpose can not be withdrawn
from the ordinary operations of the
college cOntemp plated in the Mill Tax
law without great damage to the
work

An Arnory

The state has a constitutional
military tax. The military duties
imposed by state law upon the State
College are an integral part of its
military system Concentrated at the
College is the military instruction OF
an entire regiment-seven COM
panies-of young men. The state
should, out of the military tax, build
an armory costing from $4,000 to
$4,000. This can not be built out
out of the proceeds of the constitu-
tional military tax.

SELECTING SEED CORN.
Early Selection From the Hill Has I'm
portant ADVANTAGES.

Early Selection From the Hill Has Inn
portant Advantages.
Hill selection Of seed is urged by
every institution interested in the i'm
provement of corn. By selecting corn
from the standing stalks in the field
one can consider other things besides
the ear itself The height Of the. ear
on the stalk and the strength Of the
stalk may both be considered, and
whether or not the ear grew on stalk
that had the whole hill to itself or had
to compete with two or three other
stalks can be determined. while if one
waits until the corn has been cut these
factors cannot be considered.
While the large. heavy ears arc de-
sirable, one cannot proftably select
them at the expense Of maturity. be-
cause corn that will not mature is
bound to be an Improbable crop.
Early selection from the hill avoids
the danger OF. the corn being injured
BY frost while it is still damp in the
husk. 1t also allows for ample time
for the corn to become. thoroughly

BARNYARD gshnANURE..;.

Value of an Important Manuriai Re-
source Which Should Be Saved.
Prepared by United States department
Of agriculture.
Barnyard manure is the most impor-
tant manurial resource of the farm and
should be carefully saved and used. 1t
not only enriches the soil with nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash. but it
also renders the stored up materials of
the soil more available, improves the
mechanical condition of the soil. makes
it warmer and enables it to retain more
moisture. ..a +. ~
On the basis of prices charged for
commercial fertilizers. the average
value of the manure annually produced
by each horse or mule is $27, by each
head of cattle 49, by-each hog $40 and
by each sheep 50. Probably less than
half these values are actually realized
in practice. 1t should be stated, how
ever, that this method of estimating the
value Of manure is often misleading

air if special precautions are not taken
to prevent it's loss. 1t is also rich in.
potash, but deficient in phosphOric acid
1t should, as a rule. be used in connec-
ton with the solid dung. the one thus
supplying the deficiencies of the other
and making more evenly balanced
manure.
Barnyard manure is a very variable
substance, it's composition and value
depending mainly upon III age and
kind of animal. q, quantity and quail
ity Of food, (3) proportion of litter and

barnyard manure. properly cared for.
may be assumed to contain on the av-
erage one-half of. per cent of nitro
gen and one third of per cent of phos-
phoric acid
Mature animals. neither gaining nor
losing weight. excrete practically as
much fertilizing material as they con-
sumo in their food. Growing animals
may excrete as little as 80 per cent as
much as is contained in their food.

tening or working animals from 85 to
IS per cent In the fertilizing value of
equal weights Of manure in it's normal
condition farm animals probably stand
in the following order: Poultry, sheep,
pigs, horses. COWS.
The amounts Of fertilizing constitu-
ents in the manure stand in direct rela-
ton to those in the food. AS regards
the value of manure produced, the con
centrated feeding stuffs.. such as meat

and wheat bran. stand first. the legu-

The nitrogen Of the food exerts a
greater influence on the quality of the
manure than any other constituent. It
is the most costly fertilizing constit-
uent- It undergoes more modification
in the animal stomach than the mineral
constituents potash and phosphoric
acid and rapidly escapes from the
manure in fermentation. The secretion
of urine increases with the increase Of
heterogeneous substances in the food
thus necessitating the use of larger
amounts of litter and affecting both the
amount and value of the manure

the manure rapidly and Spread it on

Of valuable constituents need not be
very great, but when the manure must
