Making the Little
Farm Pay
BY c. c. BOWsFlELD

Duck farms are becoming numerous
in the middle west This kind of a
poultry enterprise is easily started and
pays well. Ducks are hardy fowls and
grow into money fast, returning a big
profit on the investment and labor.
The general aim is to meet the steady
demand for poultry in the large cities.
and to do this ducks are supplied at all
ages from six weeks to six months and
at weights varying from two to eight
pounds. 1t Is one of the best features
Of this industry that prices have con
stantly advanced and that the market
never has been oversupplied-
Experts have shown that general
purpose ducks, preferably the Picking
breed, can be placed on the market at
total cost Of 5 cents pound where
breeders are able to raise the feed and
have good facilities for shipping
Those who do not have the best facili.
ties for raising poultry will have to
reckon the cost Of production at some
thing like Z cents pound, but even
this outside figure leaves large mar
gin Of profit The retail price averages
Is cents pound for young roasting
ducks and 20 cents for matured stock.
1t Is claimed that ducks are more
uniformly healthy than almost any
other domestic fowl, that the percent.

A POTATO WAREHOUSE.
Six Specific Requisites to Be Borne In
Mind In Building One.
BY r, M, DOlVE,

WITH III ouuStt9 0uos
BY r. N. DoLvE.
North Dakota agricultural experiment
station.]
The specific things to bear In mind
In the construction of potato ware
houses are temperature. ventilation.
soil drainage. convenience, durability
end cost.
Temperature.-The ideal temperature
In potato warehouse is between 33
and 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Although
provision should be made for heating
during extreme weather. the house
should be so constructed that the
proper temperature can be maintained
during cold weather without the use of
artificial heat me objection to arti
fetal heat is that it is impossible to
maintain an even temperature through
out the entire house. The temperature
of potatoes near the stove will invari-
ably be too high while potatoes may be
freezing in remote parts of the house.
entilation.-Provision must be made
for ventilation 50 as to maintain the
proper temperature, the requisite pure
ness of air and desira bic dryness
of atmosphere The scheme of ventila-
ton should be so arranged that it is
under easy control of the caretaker.
To this end the walls of the house
must BE- as good nonconductorS of heat
as is consistent with economy in con-
struction All doors should be double
and as tight as possible
The temperature in a warehouse will
gradually rise toward spring. but a
properly constructed one may be kept
at the desired temperature for long
time by ventilating at night and shut
ing the house as tightly as possible
during the day time,
Soil Drainage.-When a potato ware
house of the basement type is to be
constructed the height of the water
! table in the ground during seasons
when potatoes may be stored should be
! Investigated If there is danger of
water and there is no means of re.
ment floor above the danger line and
to grade up around the house until it is
buried to the desired depth.
Durability and Cost.-In we'll drained
soils that do not cave readily, quite
satisfactory basement warehouses have
been constructed, at small cost, that
consist merely of rooted over exca-
walton with walls having slope of
to l. In most localities. however.
this is not practical, and where potato
growing is taken up as a permanent
business more durable warehouse
should be constructed. To insure
durability all underground construc-
ton should be- of stone. brick or con-
crete, and in most instances concrete
will be found cheapest and best suited
for easements Care must be taken
to insure that all planks. joists and
supports of driving floors have ample
strength to support the heavy loads as
well as the dead weight Of potatoes
which may be stored on the floor
Roughly. the cost of a large first class
potato warehouse will amount to about
10 cents per bushel of its storage ca
pacity That is. good 10000 bushel
warehouse. for example. will cost
about $1,000 so that 10 cents per
bushel on the first crop stored pays
for the warehouse

Dangers of a Cold

Do you know that of all the minor
ailments colds are bH far the most
dangerous? 1t is not the colds them
selves that you need to fear, but the
serious diseases that they so often

should be gotten rid of with the least
possible delay. To accomplish this
you will find Chamberl, ms cough

THE AMERICAN FARMER.

1t is true that the American
farmer does not produce as much
per acre as the farmer In a num-
Der of civilized nations, but pro-
duction per acre is not the Amer
lean standard. The standard is
the amount of produce for each
person engaged in agriculture.
and. by this test the American
farmer appears to be from two
to six times as efficient as most
of his competitors. Relatively
speaking. extensive farming is
still economically the sound pro-
gram in our agriculture, but now
it is becoming increasingly ap-
parent that the aim must be,
while maintaining supremacy in
production for each person, to es-
tablish supremacy in production
for each acre.-From Annual Re-
port. 1914, of Secretary of Agri-
culture.

am now enroute from the southeast
ern part to the northwest corner,
following up the Red River Valley
from the base of the foothills to the
crest of the Ozarks. This is
beautiful country. We have some
snow on the ground, but the fences
are green with trailing vines and the
roses are in full leaf. The holly,
mistletoe and cane are still in full
green leaf, and the weather is much
like early October at home. The
people are an exceedingly warm and
hospitable lot, but all they know or
think of is cotton. Cotton mas
effectually killed every other advance
in agriculture, and they now realize
it. There is still much unpicked
cotton in the fields, and bales of it
are everywhere. l have just crossed
the "nigger deadline" at Searcy.
and am proceeding north to the fruit
sections of the Ozarks. No negroes
are tolerated above this line. Some
of the richest lands in the u. S. are
below this line, but it is not advis
able to settle there for the northerner.
The rice fields of Arkansas are fine
and profitable and other crops also do
we'll. Dairying is almost unknown,
and possibilities are great.
