than $4,000 and we had no training in
farming. Though our location gave us
some conditions of more than ordinary
difficulty, we have made it all work
out admirably.
We had some foolish notions to be-
gin with, notions gathered from back
to-the-land literature; and on some
vital points our minds were blank. We
had much to learn. We tried to keep
ourselves free Of the condition Of mind
of the average amateur farmer who
fancies he knows it all. At the same
time we knew we'll enough that there
was a lot Of outworn nonsense in the
practice of the old farmers. We moved
cautiously, giving plenty Of time to
sitting out the instruction and advice
given us, outstanding our
until we should form a definite
scheme.
What a man ought to do before
committing himself is to dig with all
his might and main into the literature
of modern scientific farming, filling his
mind with 1t to the point of saturation
: He ought to study carefully the stories
of success achieved by the good mod
ern farmer. The closest of attention to
the intimate details of these stories
will pay beyond all reckoning. 1t will
show that success is attained quite as
much by sound management as by
crop growing.
Eighty acres of land, in my opinion,
is too much for n man to farm, by
modern methods, with any reasonable
expectation of getting out of it what
II should produce" Forty acres is
more than enough. Twenty acres is
more than enough. Twenty acres prop
erly farmed will yield better returns
than forty or eighty loosely managed.
Besides, the smaller acreage involves
a smaller investment in land and
leaves a correspOndingly larger part
of the capital free for use in operation,
where it is likely to be needed.
A common mistake of townsmen
farmers is to keep too little operating
capital. With $4,000 in hand, I should
say that not more than half ought to
be put into the initial investment in
land and buildings. The other half
that 1T will come in mighty handy be-
fore the, farm is established upon a
profitable basis.
The question of a location and the
matter of choice between one farm and
another cannot be determined by a.
stranger. I should say. however, that
1t is much better for a man to buy a
farm in good condition thar to VEN
ture with low priced, rundown land.
I've found by experience that the
building up Of a neglected down-at-
heel farm is a problem in Itself. The
worst feature Of it is hat it is full
Of discouraging delays.
Our own farm was one OF that type
when we bought 1t, and it took us
three years to get yer a part Of our
land in condition for normal crop pro-
duction. That is a long time for the
novice to wait. He is very likely to
end by abandoning his venture as a
bad job.
1t is not easy to tell any particular
townsman just how he may succeed at
farming. The personal equation comes
in, good and strong. It is quite pos

and snaps the hook to the head with
a sharp movement. The blow does
not travel far, but it carries power.
You may see from the second picture
that he gets his power from his shout
der muscles. Many pugilists who use
the left hook put no more power in it
than is contained in the muscles of
the arm. But Moran is able not only
to throw his weight into the blow, but
the muscles of his shoulder and his
|chest-the minor pectoralis-which is
the f~an-shaped muscle spreading from
the arm over the left side Of the
breast.

A CITY MAN OF az
WENT TO THE FARM.

William R. LEIGHTON in the Country
Gentleman: Six years ago, when I was
AZ years old, 1 went to farming. I
wanted to make better provision for
my family than seemed possible under
town conditions, even though my in
come was good enough.
We lived comfortably In town and
had no debts; so we were not consid-
ering farming merely as t refuge from
failure. but rather as a sensible busi-
ness proposition. We made our de
cision deliberately, after some careful
team work in talking things over. Our
actual working capital was rather less

his left hook and his straight right.
The Illustration shows his left hook

With this hook Moran started AL

slipped in a straight right hand which
was the finisher.

sible that a man may fail, even though
he begins his work with abundant en-
thusiasm and with a capital which
ought to suffice for all reasonable re-
Quirements.
Speaking, generally, however, I say
emphatically that the man of As, with
$4,000 to $4,000 in money, with a brain
and a firm purpose, certainly ought to
succeed on the land. Even If he meets

his weight, the muscles of his shoulder
and chest. and those of his arm.
If he can land that punch on Jack
Johnson's jaw he may become the
champion Of the world. The betting
is very strong against his doing it.
Moran, however. has more than a
left hook. In fact, his right is heavier
than his left. He has a perfectly
straight right, which doe not travel
very far, but it carries knockout
strength. II Johnson will come to him
something which Johnson seldom

1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN; IT'S YOU.
(SOuthern Vindicator.)

(Southern vindicator)
If you want to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You need not slip your clothes in a grip
And start on long, long hike.
You will only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new:
It's knock at yourself when you knock
your town,
1t isn't your town--it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When every one works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise town from the dead.
And If while you make your personal
stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too.
Your town will be what you want to
1t isn't your town-it's YOU.

WINTER COVER CROPS.

q. A. Redhead, Assistant State AGENT
1t should be the aim of all members
of the corn club to increase their yield
and at the same time to lower the cost
of production for 1915. The planting Of
a winter cover crop will 60 long way
towards accomplishing both objects.
Let us see how a cover crop will
help: it will prevent the rich top soil
from being wasted away by our heavy
winter rains; also, it will prevent the
teaching of the plant food as it be-
comes available from day to day
throughout the winter. Thus some
plant food will be available for the
corn crop when the cover crop is plow-
ed under in the spring. AS much
nitrogen is leached from the soil in
winter as is used in making the crop
the following spring and summer. 1t
is this element in fertilizers that
makes them so costly, and this cost
can be saved by planting one of the
clovers for cover crop. To insure
good growth, the clover seed should
be inoculated with nitrogen gathering
bacteria. The pure culture may be OBJ
tanned through the parish demonstra-
ton agent.
A cover crop plowed under in the
spring will increase the water retain
ing power of the soil. Humus, or de-
caying vegetable matter, will store
seven and one-half times as much
water as sand, pound for pound. Sand
will lose it's water three and one-half
times as fast as humus. A good sup
ply Of humus in the soil will lessen the
danger of drought injuring the crop.
Whenever possible, plant one of the
following clovers: Crimson, Burr
White, Medium Red, or Vetch. = If you
cannot conveniently plant one of these,
then plant oats, rye or wheat.
To sum up, winter cover crop will
prevent the land from washing, leach
ing, increase the fertility and water
power of your soil, and
furnish grazing for pigs and other live
stock during the winter and early
spring.

FOR A LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION.

DR.. Clarence Pierson, head of the
East Louisiana Hospital for the Insane
and who is great advocate of the
stock industry for Louisiana, having
already done much to build the cause
in East Feliciana, is urging the or
ganization of State Live Stock Asso-
citation. He argues that this is the
time for the movement, for the admis-
sion is general that the business will
be one of the most important factors
in overcoming the effects of the boil
weevil and the tariff The men inter
ested should get together, and one of
the first steps should be the employ
ment OF an expert as secretary, to be
the life of the society and get results.
Many who want to go into this bust
ness do not know how to begin and
need to be started right. Such an as
ISOLATION would be in a better position
than are individuals to secure legisla-
tive cooperation, in protection against
communicable and contagious cattle
diseases, the ravages of dogs and buzz
yards and other enemies, and the
question of fences to best suit condi-
tons in different sections.
The time is ripe, and Feliciana is
willing to do her part.
