put the land in fine condition for any crop. If there was no other profit would consider that they pay me in preparing my land for crops. But they will pay In mutton.
 We need to keep more brood mares to raise our own horses. We cannot afford to be paying from S400 to $500 per pair for horses and mules; every time you buy a pair out of the state you are making some other farm rich and putting money into some other mans pocket. and proportionately making your farm poor and taking money out of your own pocket
 We ought to raise more poultry, chickens. turkeys. ducks-yes, and geese, too.
 And we must raise more meat Keep more hogs on the farm and raise more cattle. Meat is too expensive to buy. But in order to raise stock you will have to raise more feed for this stock, such as your land is best adapted to. If you do this your farm will quickly show the results, your land will get better and better each year, raising larger crops. thus en. abling you to keep more stock and put more money in your pocket. To do this will require time and patience, but it is the true system of farming
 This kind of farming will build up any country and make the farmer in. dependent of any trust or monopoly. l know the difficulties in the way. for know by experience. If you are go ing to succeed in farming. you must have stock to help you. They will work cheap. l5 hours a day, and pay for the privilege of doing 1t. What cheap labor! Yet 1t is true. Why not avail yourself of it? The ideal condition is where you see fields growing the various crops such as the iand is adapted to, with nicely kept fields, with stock Of different kinds feeding upon the land. This means safe farming. plenty of corn, meat and grain. It also means a contented, satisfied farmer

SUMMER CARE AND
 FEED FOR THE COLT
FoaI Should Be Taught to Eat Grain EarIy-Good Plan to
 Wean the Youngster.

CBy C. S ANDERSON. Colorado Experi-
 ment StationJ
 Are you giving that young foal the proper care? To become a strong, sound horse when matured the foal must be well nourished and given ev. cry advantage possible.
 At this time of the year mares and colts are allowed to spend at least a part of the time in the pasture. The foal should be taught to eat grain very early. By placing tie feed box from which the dam eats her grain low. the foal, al about two months of age, will begin ribbling with the mother and will soon acquire a taste for the grain.
 A pen built in one corner of the field made high enough to keep the mare out and allow the colt to pass under will make it possible to feed the foal grain with very little difficulty. Allow the mare in the enclosure with the foal for a few times. and it will soon learn to so in itself Keep a liberal supply of grain. preferably oats and bran, and perhaps some cracked corn. in the feed box TQ induce the dam to lQ;ter about with the colt. have the pen near { shade tree or the salt box.
 By weaning time the foal will have become thoroughly accustomed to eat. ing grain and will wean very easily. besides being in better condition as a result of this additional feed.
 Try this plan this year and you will be surprised to find a sleek. fat, we'll grown colt at weaning time.

 Is your land rich enough, and Is it producing as much as you wish? This. in my opinion. is the most i'm. portant subject the farmer has to deal with. Poor lands mean FOOT crops, poor stock, a poor farner-and . poor state.
 The farmer who depends upon one crop to support his family and buy his meat, -four, hay, horses and mary other things. sooner or later will come to grief, 1t matters not what. in reason. the price of that one article is. This one-crop system is what is the matter with our farmers. We need to diversity our crops more
 We need to keep more live stock 1; to raise our own horses and mules, sheep. cattle hogs and other live stock; to raise more hay, grain and ieguminous crops. Those sections where the farmers raise their own supplies, and have some to sell to sup ply the local markets. are the most prosperous.
 We need to fence our farms, and must do so, if We keep live stock; and we must keep live stock If We expect to have manure to go on our crops. Without manure 1 believe 1t almost impossible to get our farms into a high state of cultivation. By the keeping of live stock on our farms. not only will this live stock manure the farms, and get the fields in better condition for growing better crops, but they will pay a profit to the own CT. Our waste lands and hills should De fenced, and well stocked with growing cattle, horses and sheep. in- stead of being allowed to grow up and, in many cases, wash away.
 Why not raise more sheep? 1 have found that sheep are as easy to raise as any stock, and almost indispensa- ble in building up my farm. They will improve any land they graze upon; will kill the briers, keep down weeds, kill bushes; will distribute their droppings evenly over the fields, and

PARTICULARLY GOOD
 FOR SMALL FARMER
Yield of Twenty to Forty Bushels Per Acre Should Be Secured
 Improves Soil.
By J. T. GRANGER )

Soy beans are a good crop to raise, particularly for the small farm. CT. By growing a variety like Nam. moth Yellow on soil that has been well prepared and fertilized, yield Of twenty to forty bushels to the acre should be secured, and as the soy bean is a legume. it will improve the soil
 Soy beans should be inocuiated be. fore planting on a field where they have not been previously grown.
 When the ground has been well mel, lowed and the crop is wanted for pas, ture in the green form, or for hay or manure, 1t may be broadcasted or planted in rows
 When wanted mainly for the grain. the seed is put in rows with the grain drill more commonly. but sometimes with the corn planter or ordinary bean planter.
 In growing the small varieties, the rows may be as near as 24 inches. The largest varieties call for a dis tance between the rows of not less than three feet.
 !. The plants in the rows will bear growing thickly. as the habit of growth is upright The distance be- tween the plants may vary from two tc i've or s.x inches, according to the size of the plants.
 The amount of seed used per acre is seldom more than one bushel per acre and seldom less than half a bushel
 If your land is not rich in humus, use . s1nail amount of nitrate of soda as . starter for the beans. Apply at the rate of 75 pounds per acre after the beans are up. Put it on when the leaves are dry. It is very soluble and will sink into the soil in . sur prisingly short time.
 Then an application Of 16 per cent acid phosphate with 50 pounds of muriate of potash per acre will give you . complete fertilizer that should be very satisfactory. Bonemea! would not be as good for . crop a soy beans. as the plaLt food eieDents are eot readily available.

WHERE THE INCHES COUNTED
British Statesman's Remarkably Neat Retort to Chalrman's Shaft
 of sWIt"

Lloyd-George's wit on the platform is well known, but here is one of the neatest retorts he ever made.
 He was addressing a meeting in South Wales. according to Pearson's Weekly. when the chairman. thinking 10 be witty at the chancellor's expense, remarked to the audience that he was little disappointed in Lloyd-George's appearance.
 "1 had heard SO much about Mir. Lloyd-George." he said. that l nat urally expected to meet a big man in every sense: but. as you can see for yourselves, he is very small in stat ure"
 Many an orator would have been grievously upset by such an unfortu- nate beginning to the proceedings, but not so LloydGeorge.
 T am grieved to find" he said. with mock seriousness, that your chairman is disappointed in my size, but this is owing to the way you have here oi measuring man. In North Wales We measure a man from his chin up but you evidently measure him from his chin down."
 After that the chairman made no more personal remarks.

A stenographer was out of a job. He was discussing the best ways and means Of rehabilitating his ebbing bank roll with a friend who also was listed among the unemployed. Said the friend:

 For how much?"
 "Oh, S3,O00."
 "Well-?" asked the friend in astonishment.
 Well" repeated the shorthand man sadly, the letter asking for the s3.000 is all ready to mall, but I'll be darned if l can think of anybody to mail it to."-Louisville Times.
