When all the liquids have been

amounts of manure may be made and
II 1t is hauled to the fields direct from
the stable, these liquids will drain into
the soil to the depth Of the furrow

In addition, the cows will not be
waddling knee deep in the mire and
filth every time they are turned out in
the yards for water and exercise.
Most of the work comes at time
when other farm operations are slack

Good stable management Is an i'm

to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sun.

have pure air to breathe and this

RAISING CORN IN MISSISSIPPI
One Hundred Million Bushels ls Given
as Yield Of Bayou state-Increase
10 Remarkable.

Mississippi, long one of the greatest
OF the cotton-growing states. and a
state to which the criticism on the
single crop was largely directed. is
rapidly becoming one OF the greatest
OF the corn states, says Christian Sci
ence Monitor. It's acreage of corn has
expanded marvelously since the d.
versification propaganda was set on
foot. Four years ago corn production
In Mississippi ran to 2s.OO0,0OO bush
els, which was considered a tremen-
dous cereal crop for a cotton state.
Two years later its production OF corn
reached 60.00O.OOO. This year. 1t is
estimated. the corn crop win not be
less than 10O,000,OO0 bushels.
It is a remarkable and significant
fact that this yield. great as It Is. will
just about meet the average annual
consumption of corn in the state. To
go back no farther than 1911. Missis-
sippi had In that year deficit In its
corn crop Of no less than 100000
bushels. This 1t had to meet by buy
ing outside. 1t did not. for It could
not buy II in the South. because the
rest Of the South also had a corn
deficit. The money taken in for cot
ton went out largely for corn and
other foodstuffs which the South could
have raised. but did not. A big corn
crop in Mississippi, with the spot cash
price running between so cents and
81 bushel. comes very near spelling
economic independence for It's farm
ars.
