HOW GRAIN GROWER
TURNED A LOSS INTO
SUBSTANTIAL PROFIT

A number of years ago North Da-
kota wheat farmer, whose exclusive
grain growing had put him deep in
debt, desired from his bank loan OF
81 600, writes J. c. Mcdowell in the
Kansas Farmer Except the horses
there was no livestock-not COW, a
pig or even chicken-on the place.
The banker, very shrewd business
man, was able to analyze the problem
and to discover the cause of the farm
er's financial difficulties, and he agreed
to make the loan only on condition
that the borrower change his system
of farming.
The system outlined by the banker
required that portion of the loan
should be used to purcase two COWS,
half a dozen pigs and small flock Of
poultry 1t also provided for fair
sized vegetable garden. Grain farm
ing was to be continued as before The
banker figured that the livestock and
the garden would, in poor as well as
in good seasons, fully support the
farmers table He figured that in
poor years the farmer would be able
to play even and that in the good, and
even in the average year, the farm
would produce enough to gradually
wipe out the debt.
The farmer reluctantly agreed to
the bankers terms, received the loan
and met the conditions. In five years
he was out of debt and rated as \
substantial and prosperous farmer and
business man. To him farming had
ceased to be a game of chance and
had become a BUSINESS.

DISKINK PLAYING
PLAYING IMPORTANT
PART IN CULTIVATION

In the management of land for
spring blowing, disking plays a most
important part When land has stub
bic on it, disking breaks up the stub
Bile into small pieces SO that when it
is plowed under a more uniform dis
tribution of the organic matter IS
assured and the danger or retarding
the upward movement OF water Is
greatly reduced. Furthermore, the
stubbe or organic matter will decom-
pose much more rapidly.
When manure has been applied t.
the soil in the nature of a surface
dressing, disking will incorporate i
much more evenly in the soil and re
duce the harmful effects of excessive
fermentation which is closely associ-
ated with incorporation in the form
layers as is the common occurrence
when the manure is simply plowed
under Disking also prevents drying
out of the soil as the capillary water
will have free access to the surface
layer.
Soil that is dry, if disked before
blowing, will make much bette,
seed bed, as clods will be less liable
to form and the seedbed will be moro
mellow, more compact and the sur
face would be less subject to excessive
evaporation.
When spring blowing is delayed

CULTIVATION OF
THE TOPSOIL PREVENTS
EVAPORATION

That the stirring or cultivation o.
the topsoil really does diminish evapo
ration of water from the soil has beer
shown by numerous investigations. lr
1868 Nessler found that during si2
weeks of ordinary German summe,
stirred soil lost $40 grams of watel
per square foot, while the adjoining
compacted soil lost 1850 grams;
saving due to cultivation of nearly q
per cent. Wagner, testing the correct
ness of Nessler's work, found, in 1874
that cultivation reduced the evapora
ton little more than 90 per cent.
Johnson, 1873. confirmed the trut'
of the principle on American soils, ant
Levi Stockbridge, working about tn,
found that cultivation diminished
evaporation on clay soil about % pei
sent, and on heavy loan nearly /.
per cent.
All the early work done on this sub
jet was done under humid conditions
and it is only in recent years that con
firmation of this important principle
has been obtained for the soils of the
Try farm region.
Fortier, working under Californi;
conditions, determined that cultivation
reduced the evaporation from the sol
surface over IS per cent.
AT the Utah station similar expert
ments have shown that the saving O
soil moisture by cultivation was 63 pc
cent for clay soil, "a per cent for :;
coarse. sand and Is per cent for a clay
loan.
Further, practical experience ha.
demonstrated time and time again
that in cultivation the dry farmer ha,
powerful means of preventing evap
Grafton from agricultural soils.

COVER CROPS ESSENTIAL

A blanket of cover crops is needed
in every orchard at least half the year.
An old orchard on sloping land, which
is inclined to grow heavy wood on
the trees at the expense of fruit bear
ing, needs thick cover crop, such as
/ common red or mammoth clover. In
some successful orchards alfalfa has
been used, and, though it not gen
cover crop, there are instances where
the alfalfa in an old orchard has been
pastured by hogs and has proved an
advantage for year or two. 1t is then
turned under and the orchard cult
waited clean for couple of seasons, with
winter cover crops of crimson clover
or vetch
The barometer of the orchard con-
dition is the growth of wood and the
condition in which fruit is matured
If the cover crop is too heavy and is
allowed to sap the ground of moisture
in midsummer the fact will immedi
ately be noted in slow maturing fruit
and short growth on the terminal
branches of the trees.
Many old trees need to be checked
in their growth of wood to make
them produce. The abundance OF
blossoms in an orchard is evidence
that tht heavy cover crop has had
this effect-Country Gentleman.

FEED SOWS AND
THEIR LITTERS
ON PASTURE

The number of hogs that can be
kept on an acre of clover pasture
natui ally depends upon the kind and
size of the hogs and the naural fertil-
ity and productiveness of the land on
which the clover is growing, writes
W. f. Purdue in the National Stock
man. Much also depends on the
weather for if there is an abundance
of rainfall more feed will be produced
on given area than during dry sea
son.
I'm estimatn the number of ami
mails that an acre Of pasture will sup
port it should be remembered that in
dividuals of the improved breeds that
have been well handled and fed on a
variety of feeds will eat more grass
and get more out of it than animals
that have been confined in yards and
pens and fed almost entirely on con
centrates. With the latter class the
stomachs have not been expanded,
and they are not capable of handling
much coarse food, and consequent
ly such hogs cannot give as good re
turns for grass consumed.
1t is safe to say that pigs weighing
from Us to so pounds will consume
ten to twelve quarts of grass per day
while being fed Stops and fairly good
ration of grain feeds. An acre of
clover growing on good rich soil in
the early part of the season will fur
nish pasture for at least ten pigs of
the size mentioned. -Four or FIVE
brood sows, with their litters of pigs.
can also be pastured on an acre of
clover Good judgment necessarily
must be used in this matter. Over
pasturing is not desirable, but an eff
fort should be made to keep enough
animals on each acre of pasture to
keep the grass eaten down before It
attains rank growth.
Swine eat only the short and ten
der grass. Few of the rank and
coarse stem are consumed. In case
a sufficient number OF animals to keep
the grass eaten down cannot be kept
in a field. as soon as the clover bios
SONS il should be moved and cured
for hay. after which new growth
will start, which the pigs will relish
In this way the maximum results from
the clover will be secured

GRASS AND GRIT FOR CHICKS

1t is we'll to have some finely chop
ped up grass and some coarse grit for
the chicks and small quantity of
meat cut up in tinp pieces, or some of
the manufactured foods that contain
meat will help to grow them wonder
fully. The temperature of the sleep
ing compartment of the brooder
should be at about ninety degrees dur
ing the first three or four days The
tefilperature should be taken about
half way between the floor and the
top of the brooder, At the end OF
four days the heat should be decreased
gradually until the young birds are
three weeks old, when 20 degrees at
night will be sufficient

separated Feb. 5. Kellogg is several
years older than his wife.

had written her. Among them were:

May Change Policy.
There is a strong possibility that the
United States may change its attitude
toward what constitutes arming a
merchant vessel, and in the light of the
development Of submarine warfare,
may hold that the mounting of small
defense guns only, heretofore consider
ed as not arming a ship. may be con-
sidered armament, which will remove
the vessel from the non-combatant
class.
State department officials gave
strong indications Of this today and
stated that when the United States, at
the beginning of the war, declared that
passenger ships carrying defense guns
Of small caliber would be permitted to
enter and leave American ports and
would not be classed as war vessels,
submarine warfare had not developed
to its present stage.
