Live stock farming rs permanent
farming. The continued sale OF crops
from the farm takes away It's fertility
and, with few exceptions, leaves moth
Ing in return. Every ton Of alfalfa
hay sold from the farm removes IS
worth Of its fertility; every ton Of
ccrn about 81, and each ton Of wheat
about 81. Cotton does not take so
much, IL the seed or its equivalent in
cotton seed meal is taken back to the
farm and fed to live stock. Otherwise
the loss is great
On the other hand, every ton Of
feed purchased and put on the farm
through the medium of steers hogs
or dairy cows adds that much fertility
In addition to what has been obtained
from it as a feed. Cottonseed meal
is worth almost its full market price
as fertilizer alone, and nearly all OF
that value car go TO the farm just the
same after it has been used as feed.
The fertility value Of livestock is
realized on In other ways than by
hauling farinyard manure. The live
stock themselves are the best manure
spreaders. 1t has been shown that
where n crop has been pastured off
bv hogs the succeeding crop has been
much better than where the first had
been harvested in the usual way.-EX-

Ahnnt DlNcrsificntion.

DiverslfiCation, as we understand II,
does not mean altogether TO raise
things other than cotton to sell But
in part to raise things to eat and for
the stock to eat, so they will not have
to be bought says the Bryan Eagle.
You have 1t down right. Diversifica-
tion does not mean that the expert
enced cotton farmer should suddenly
abandon the crop he knows best and
loves most In order to devote his lands
and labors to artlchokes, gooseberries
and vegetable marrow. 1t would be
as fatal TO ovcrstock the market with
cucumbcrs as with cotton If cucum-
bers were all the farmer had to sell.
The idea OF diversification as 1t ap-
plies to the south is that every farmer,
whether land owner or tenant, should
grow food for his family and feed for
his teams. II every farmer will do
that his calling and elation to indie
pendence are assured. Then his cot
ton crop, although small, will repre-
sent more clear money than If 1t were
three times as large and must be
spread all over the years living. II
would be silly to abandon cotton al
together. Such a thing Is impossible
and undesirable Cotton Is a splendid
crop. But It is a town mans crop.
What the farmer needs is a country
mans crop, which Is to say that what
the farmer needs first to consider Is
whereWith he shall feed himself.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.--Immense purchasing

bushel Shortage in Europe had become so
acute that Italy and Sweden ordered the com

prices Of wheat here was not fully main

7 never could quite under stand
why people always wait until January
10 turn over new leaf" If tho
leaf is worth turning any day is a good
day for the job. However. January 1
is about at the end of one crop year
and the beginning Of another, and it's
about as good a time as any to figure
out what we've learned through this
years farm operations and how to put
that knowledge into practice. We
have learned a lot OF things that we
may not be able 10 use at once. There
isn't much use in the cotton farmer
or the wheat farmer trying TO turn
himself into q live stock man over
night. It Just can't be done. But he
can make a start-dnd keep plugging

thing TO keep the mind sweet and

IS POUNDS OF BLOOD

Is the average quantity in healthy
adult, but it is the quality of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because SCOTS
Emulsion is a rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.
