fully understand how farm profits
and losses are made ami there will be
an incentive to remain. First make
our farms profitable, and the ques-
ton of keeping the boys there VIII
solve itself.
Successful farming is an individual,
economic problem. The farm is a
combination of enterprises, and their
individual organization will deter
mine. in a large measure, its profit
ableness. Sufficient area and proper
organization of well-selected farm
enterprises to permit the maximum
use of men, horses and machinery
are the essential characteristics OF
the most successful farms.
No one expects a small grocery
store. which has only few Gus
toners a day, to be great financpl
success. The total amount OF busi-
ness is sufficient to earn the opera
tor a substantial income. Exactly
the same is true with the small farm.
The volume of business is limited by
the area in crops and the capital
invested. The small farm furnishes
a home as we'll as much of the prod
uce consumed by the family II 1t
were not for these factors the men
on the small area would hardly be
able TO live.
Wages are a reward for labor, and
If a farm does not provide work the
pay must be correspondingly small.
The family size farm, which in the
corn belt should be above 100 acres,
is unquestionably more efficient
unit than an area of forty acres or
less. Crops can be grown cheaper,

NEW JAP BEAN PROVES
TO BE GOOD FOR OUR SOIL

A plant immigrant from Japan that
seems likely to prove a most desirable
addition to American agriculture is
the adsuki bean, which has been sue
cessfully grown on the governments
farm at Arlington, Va, and at many
other places. Its most valuable fea-
ture lies In it's large yield of seed.
Owing to its texture the bean is
easily ground into meal or flour and
has proven far superior to any other
bean for that purpose. Its flavor is
delicate and 1t lacks any objection
able Hbeany' taste. The adsuki bean
is a most popular food in Japan, and
there seems no reason why food so
rich In protein should not become
popular in the United States.
The first adsuki bean brought to
this country mo probably was the
.red-seeded bean" which Commodore
Perry brought back In 1854 after his
famous trip to the Far East, when he
first established communication be-
tween this country and Japan. 1t has
not been, however. until compare
lively recently that the bean was ex-
perimented with in q scientific man
ner In America. In 1891 the Kansas
experiment station had the beans
submitted to several housekeepers
for trial, and their recommendations
OF 1t were in general most favorable.
The United States department of
agriculture is now giving detailed
description of its experiments with
the bean in new bulletin (Nc. 119),

There were only eight men, four
owners ami four tenants, who never
had a school training. OF the
owners and tenants n per cent. at
tended a common or district school.
About IS per cent. attended high
school, and one out of every thirty
five went to college or to some IN
stitution of similar grade.
On the whole the tenants had re-
ceived more education than the
owners, % per cent. of them having
more than a district-school eduea-
ton, while only 20 per cent. of the
owners had such a training.
Those men having the best train
ing made the largest incomes, al
though they were materially helped
in doing this by much larger farms
and greater capital.
Profitable Farming Keeps the Boy on
the Farm.
Farming is a business the same as
any other industry, and until our
schools teach some of the funda-
mental principles governing pront-
able farming, the farm boy is likely
to seek work elsewhere. Considering
that the farm boys of today Will be
the farmers of tomorrow, too little
attention is given to their training.
Many boys leave the farm because
thew see no future in 1t. Another
important reason is the lack OF
profitable work at home. moder-
ate-sized farm is necessary to give
employment to the farmer and his
sons. The small farm does not pro-
vide work; hence, the boys must ma
employment elsewhere. Let them

GARLIC FLAVOR MAY BE
REMOVED FROM MIL K

The temperature of the milk il very
important, as air blown into cold
milk does not remove the garlic
flavor, and also has a tendency TO
churn the fat This may make a
thin layer OF butter-fat form on tbs
surface Of the milk when bottled. 1t
was found that in raising the milk
to 145 degrees. which was the best
temperature for the removal OF the
flavor 1t was best TO stir the milk
by some mechanical means. The
stirring, however should not be too
violent or it may churn the fat
The experiments showed that when
the milk was heated to l40 degrees
Fahrenheit or above and blown, the
melted fat did not fern. as it did
when the milk was blown below 100
degrees Fahrenheit. The experiments
also proved that the onion flavor Is
removed more quickly when milk is
heated to 160 degrees, but this tends
to produce a cooked taste and the
cream line is reduced to a greater
extent than when the milk is heated
and blown at las degrees. With milk
blown at 145 degrees the experiments
showed that there was q reduction
OF about so per cent. in the cream
line, but this varies with the amount
Of agitation and the length Of the
blowing period.
In order to remove the flavor from
cream il was found that In general
a slightly longer blowing period was
required than in the case OF milk. The
results OF experiments with 30 per
cent cream show that the onion or
garlic flavor may be removed more
quickly at 100 degrees Fahrenheit
than at 40 degrees or 145 degrees. Il
would probably be possible to use
100 degrees Fahrenheit when the
cream is to be used for butter maxi
ing but for direct consumption the
cooked taste produced by long heat
ing at $50 degrees Fahrenheit Is un
desirable.

experienced to carry a corn or potato
crop through very successfully. In
regard to the yield from the above
crops the drier the season the more
frequent should be the cultivation.
The cultivator should run over this
surface until il becomes as fine as it
is possible to make it. We should
cultivate the surface frequently be-
cause we can make such a fine condi-
ton of the soil that we can put 1t in
the form Of mulch, and the moist
ure, as it presses to the surface The
result will be that the roots of the
corn, potatoes or other crops will re-
ceive more moisture and go through
even long, protracted spells of dry
weather with better success. So Gull
tvation, or tillage, is the best way
to conserve the supply of soil mois-
ture during the hot summer months.
Adding Humns to the Soil.
Another thing which will aid very
largely in this whole matter, both in
obtaining a larger amount of plant
food and also in helping to control the
moisture, is the incorporation of green
manure plants. One of the reasons
why we feel the effects of drouths
more severely now is the fact that
much of our land has lost so largely
of its vegetable matter Our soil has
lost to a large extent the humus
which Is always present in new soil.
In farm lands that have not been
long under cultivation the principle
of humus is actively present, and the
more humus, or the more vegetable
matter the soil contains. the greater
its ability and power to resist drouth
Since through the long years in
which we have taken so much pro-
| duction from the soil we have de-
pleted largely its vegetable matter,
consequently. one of the first duties
of the farmer is to reincorporate
vegetable matter. Now the question
artists how can this most econorni-
cally be done? Grow leguminous
crops, not only for the purpose of in
creasing the humus content of the
soil, but to add to its supply of
available nitrogen. While it is pos
sible to add to the humus supply
with other green crops that may be
plowed under for green manuring
purposes, it is always better to en-
ploy the leguminous crops and add to
the supply of nitrogen in the soil.

labor will be better paid, and the
farmer and his family will enjoy
more of the benefits Of modern
civilization.
Quality of the Farm Business
The farmer may have sufficient
area and grow the right kind OF
crops, yet not be successful, owing
to the poor quality OF his entire bust
ness. Poor crops that do not pay
the cost of production and the feed
ing of these to unproductive live stock
are common causes of failure. This
characteristic of unsuccessful farm
ing attracts much public attention.
Such farms are Improbable largely
through ignorance or indifference on
the part of the operator. Under good
management they can generally be
made successful
Diversity OF the farm business-im-
proper organization of large farm
limits it's possibilities, just as area
limits the small farm. Single crops
or single livestock enterprises sell
dom utilize farm labor to its maxi
mum BY having several crops there
is not only better distribution of la
Dor. but the chances of total loss
from crop failures are lessened. For
tnnately. corn. oats and wheat utilize
the farmers time pretty thoroughly
through the growing season In some
parts of this country certain crops
that need labor only part Of the
year may be so profitable that the
farmer can afford to be idle the rest
of the year. However, these are the
exceptions. Most crops are not profit
able enough to permit any such prac-
tise. Idle horses and machinery are
nearly as expensive as idle men.
If the working equipment can all be
kept busy on paying enterprises sue
cess is almost assured
Equally important in the selection
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-08-08

of enterprises to permit the maximum
use of labor is the consideration of
the profitableness of each. Dairy
cows and cash crops may utilize all
of the farmers time, but in certain
regions, possibly, dairy cattle under
the best management could hardly
be made to pay a profit Markets
and other conditions have to be care
fully considered in choosing the en-
terprises which are to constitute the
main sources of income. Fitting the
right crop to the soil and selling il To
the proper market or feeding IL to
the right kind of livestock are i'm
portant factors. Following such
types of farming as are unsuited to
the region is often q cause nr I'M
profitable agriculture in some of the
older settled States.
The wide fuctuation in prices of
certain crops makes it extremely
difficult for a farmer to choose a
definite rotation. One year they will
be such as to give handsome profits
on certain crops, and the next year
they may be insufficient to pay the
cost of production. The question con-
fronting the average farmer is not so
much one of producuon as il Is OF
marketing. Most farmers are able to
grow a sufficient quantity of crops
to give them very comfortable iv-
ing if they are assured OF reasonable
prices for their prooacts. however,
under present conditions the farmer
has to take big chances with nearly
all of his crops. II ne is so I'M
fortunate as to have combination of
crops every one of which is low in
price in some particular year, severe
losses will be the result. Potatoes,
apples. peaches, onions and cabbage
are good Illustrations of the crops
that fiuctuate widely in price from
year to year.

Drouths, however severe, can be re-
sisted with considerable success by
improving the water-holding capa-
city of soils and making the most
economical use of the water with
which they are saturated in the
spring. All soils that are subject to
an excess of moisture at certain
times during the year should be tile
drained. DRAWINGS will bring about
wonderful changes in the character
of soils. 1t makes them warmer and
more adapted as plant homes, in
creases their power to hold moisture
and encourages bacterial growth and
development. Well laid systems Of
drains would increase the crop
yields on many farms from 10 to 50
per cent. 1t would lengthen the grow
ing season appreciably and thus ex-
pand the crop uses to which the
land could be put.
The surest way to guard against
the disastrous effects of weather, to
which the larger portion of the coun-
try is regularly subjected, is to put
in sufficient systems of tile-drainage.
If this is done and practical methods
of tillage practiced to save moisture
by surface cultivation of hoed crops.
the destructive effects of dry weather
the work of keeping soil moisture
safely locked in the soil should be
unceasing. We must pillow the land
early in the spring and harrow it
Immediately after it is plowed, SO as
to fill the spaces between the fur
row slices with loose soil and there
by prevent the escape of moisture.
If newly plowed ground is not har-
rowed Immediately after, it is plowed
the moisture will escape with as
tonishing rapidly Narrowing will
prevent this loss. 1t is much better
to pillow corn and potato land early
in the spring than to do it a few
days before planting time. The land
will not settle too much even under
hard rains. The disc and spring
tooth harrows will loosen it up later
and reveal a mellow seed bed A
light harrow will knock a chunk of
moist earth into hundreds of fine
particles, which, if allowed to be-
come baked by the sun into a huge
lump, the roller and repeated har
rowing would not do so good a job
Flowing and narrowing at the right
time tells most in putting the land
