Non production: There are many
saneAes that have large acreage not yet
brosght uDder cultivation, and where
tAis has been accomplished can usual
ly find from one to = dozen weed
patches generally close to the buildings,
where . considerable quantity of big
sanflowers or something else could be
raised for chicken feed, or q dozen hills
Of watermelons for the boys, or toma-
toes for the dining room table would
grow with little or no extra cost.
Raising poultry is considered . wo-
maas work, but it is produced in one
season and will live on the insects ami
grasshoppers which infest the place, and
grain that would be otherwise wasted.
find many farmers are buying but
ter and potatoes, which is paying a
profit to the other fellow on stuff they
can produce, whicn is a neglected re-
source.
No arrangement il made to produce
tie most manure possible for fertilizer,
and what is made is not carefully saved
s.l applied.
The best authorities advocate the
COW, pig and hen as the only solution
for the dry farmer. Ny observation
after calling on = great many is that
tie farmers with these are the most
pessperous, and the ones without them
ase not successful. A banker told me
recently that this is one of the require
msats for credit in his bank.
Waste Of time: As . rule farmers
start early and work late, and take no
vacations, yet they waste time. Not
long ago I saw q man take q grain sack,
60 one-fourth Of mile to corn field,
pick . sack of corn, lug it back the
same distance to feed the pigs. In an
other place they carried slop to the fur
thsr side of the lot while the pigs can
come close to the house. At another,
~ harness was hung around in front
Of the horses fifty feet from the farth-
est ono. At another, the manure 10
thrown out Of the stable into dry
creek bottom, and if gotten at all had
- be picked up again.
Compare this with the methods used
IN . modern factory where the material
Il brought to the machine on trucks
With most convenient racks. The ma
chine is located so as to get the best
light and the shortest distance to the
stock room, and careful study made
with an expert operator, and stop
watch to determine the best shape to
grind the cutting tool, the number of
revolutions of speed and the width and
depth of cut, and when this is found
the way is established and the opera
tisn repeated without variation. This
method makes possible the tl.OO watch
a.l the Ford automobile.
But did you ever hear of = farmer
naking . test of the best method of
pl,wing . field or adjusting his pillow ,
Apply this to the farmer and the cost
>f production would drop at least e5
Pss cent, and the output increased from
10 per cent to as 1-3 per cent. 1.r
