(By w. r. SCOTT.)

Is your land rich enough, and is Il
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 poor
crops, poor stock, a poor farmer-and
a poor state.
The farmer who depends upon one
crop to support his family and buy
his meat, -four, hay, horses and many
other things, sooner or later will
come to grief, it 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;
to raise our own horses and mules,
sheep, cattle hogs and other live
stock; to raise more hay, grain and
leguminous 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 U66u W lcHCt Jul ldIuS, anu
must do so, il we keep live stock;
and we must keep live stock if we
expect to have manure to go on our
crops. Without manure i believe it
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
er. Our waste lands and hills should
be fenced, and we'll 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? have
found that sheep are as easy to raise
as any stock, and almost indispensa-

PARTICULARLY GOOD
FOR SMALL FARMER
Yield of Twenty to Forty Bushels
Per Acre Should Be Secured
Improves Soil.
(By ]. T. GR.AINGER.)

Soy beans are good crop to
raise, particularly for the small farm
er. By growing a variety like Nam
moth Yellow on soil that has been
we'll prepared and fertilized, a yield
of twenty to forty bushels to tho acre
should be secured, and as the soy
bean is a legume, it will improve the
soil.
Soy beans should be inoculated 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, it 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 "a inches.
The largest varieties call for dis
lance 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
to five or six inches, according to the
size of the plants.
The amount of seed used per acre
is seldom more than one busher per
acre and seldom less than half a
bushel.
If your land is not rich in humus,
use a small amount of nitrate of soda
as a starter for the beans. Apply at
the rate of rs pounds per acre after
the beans are up. Put it on when the
leaves are dry. 1t is very soluble
and will sink into the soil in a sur
prisingly short time.
Then an application of 16 per cent
acid phosphate with so pounds of
muriate of potash per acre will give
you a complete fertilizer that should
be very satisfactory. Bonemeal would
not be as good for a crop as soy
beans, as the plant food elements are
not readily available

SUMMER CARE AND
FEED FOR The COLT
FcaI Should Be Taught to Eat
Grain EarIy-Good Plan to
Wean the YoungSter.

(By c. S. ANDERSON, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
Are you giving that young foal the
proper care? To become a strong,
sound horse when matured the foal
must be we'll 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 the feed box from
which the dam eats her grain low, the
foal, at about two months of age, will
begin nibbling with the mother and
will soon acquire 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 few times, and it will soon learn
to go in itself. Keep liberal supply
of grain, preferably oats and bran, and
perhaps some cracked corn, in the feed
box. To induce the dam to loiter about
with the colt, have the pen near a
shade tree or the salt box.
By weaving 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 sleek. fat, well
grown coke al weaving time.

Hunting Trouble.

When a man just naturally wants
trouble it is mighty easy to find an
excuse for making 1t. According to
Mike Hogan, Casey and O'Brien were
having an argument of their own at
Breckenridge street and Barrett ave-
nue.. 1t had progressed to the extent
that each had forgotten what 1t was
about originally, and they were
wholly oblivious of the gathering
crowd until an urbane and genteel
person in frock coat put in.
Come, come, my man." he said,
gently plucking Casey by the sleeve.

Circumstantjal Evidence,

A girl who has been visiting In a
country town, alarmed the family she
was visiting by appearing at breakfast
and describing pistol shots directly be-
hind the house during the night and
the running and shouting of men.
Il distinctly heard someone say,
Did you get him. and another voice
answered, No, he disappeared in the
long grass, she said. Then the first
voice said, Well, we'd better look be-
hind the church. and just then two
shots rang out"
The man of the family decided to in
vestigate and found that the disturb
ers were boys who were going fishing
and were looking for worms, while the
shots were torpedoes on a railroad
track, short distance away.-Worces-
ter Post.

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 $500 to 5000
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.
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 dc
this will require time and patience
but it is the true system Of farming

cheap labor! Yet it is true. Why
not avail yourself Of it? The ideal
condition is where you see fields
growing the various crops such as the
land 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. 1t also means a contented,
