DON'T KEEP TOO MANY HOGS
Overstocked Farm is Improbable One
-GIve Every Pig or Other AMI.
NAL Fair Chance.

1t Is. a mistake to overstock your
place with pigs or any other animals.
Too many farmers in attempting to
make money by increasing the num-
Der of animals do SO at the expense
of quality. An overstocked farm Is
not profitable one. A farm that Is
oyerstocked Is one that has more
animals of any character than can be
properly cared for or kept In good,
thrifty, growing condition. Wherever
the numbers interfere with the growth
or with the attention that should be
given them it Is overstocked. II the
pastures are too small for them or
too short necessitating the purchase
of feed, the profits are cut with two
edged sword, first because of purchas-
ing feed second because of injury to
the thrift and growth of the animals.
More money can be made with half the
animals properly fed and cared for
and kept in thrifty, growing condi-
ton. Every pig or other animal
should have a chance. and if they are
crowded it is impossible to give them
a good show Numbers sometimes
are the sole cause of losses instead OF
profits.

KEEPING cow RECORDS
Desirable to Keep Only Profitable
Animals.
With Well-kept Accounts, Dairyman
Has Information Enabling Him to
Do Business In a Business
like Manner.
(By c. II. ECKLES,)

NBy y. II. EN- LEo.)
It Is we'll known that there is a vast
difference in the amount of milk diff
ferent cows will produce. One COW
may yield three times as much milk
and butter in a year as another on a
third to a half more feed. One COW
may be losing the dairyman as much
money as another in an adjoining stall
is making for him.
Clearly. 1t is desirable to keep only
the profitable cows. To do this means
that systematic records must be kept.
No guesswork will do. No COW should
be retained in the herd unless her
milk and butterfat record shows she
is profitable. At the Missouri expert
ment station one Jersey COW pro-
duced three times as much milk and
butter per year for three years as
another COW that was her half sister,
The difference in the cost Of feed
eaten by the two cows was not great
and both received the same good care.
The Illinois experiment station
tested the herds of Is Illinois farmers
and found the same conditions to pre-
vail. The best ten cows averaged 2S9
pounds of butter in a year while the
poorest ten cows averaged lO9 pounds.
They found at least one-thrd of the
COWS in the ordinary herds to be un-
profitable. Many herds In other local.
ties have been tested with the same
results 1t is the rule rather than the
exception for COWS in the same herd to

ROADS AS CROP PRODUCERS
Government Studies Show How the
Agricultural Output Of Country
Depends Upon Its Highways.

That an improved road will increase
vastly the productiveness of the area
through which it runs has now peeh
satisfactorily demonstrated by stud
les conducted by the United States
department of agricultural IN VIZ
ginia Conditions in Spotsylvania
county were investigated with par
ticuar care and the results nave
proved surprising. In 1909, the coun-
" voted 500 900 to improve 40 miles
of road. Two years after the COM
pletion of this work the railroad took
away in ~ months from Fredericks-
burg, the county seat, 71.O0O tons OF
agricultural and forest products hauled
over the highways of that town
Before the Improvement of the
roads this total was only $4,000 tons
annually; in other words, the quantity
of the county's produce had risen
more than As per cent, Still more In
teresting however, is the increase
shown in the quantity of the DAIRY
products In 1909 these amounted TO
1l4S15 pounds, in 1911 to 273,o2S
pounds an increase OF practically lao
per cent in two years In the same
time shipments of wheat had Increased
50 per cent, tobacco 81 per cent, ana
lumber and other forest products AZ
per cent.
In addition to this increase In guam
tity the cost of hauling each ton or
produce was materially reduced. In
other words, the farmers not only pro
duced more, but produces more cheap
ly, for the cost of transportation to
market is of course an important fac
tor in the cost of production From
this point of view, it is estimated That
the 100000 spent in improving the
road in Spotsylvania county saved the
farmers of that county SAL 900 year.
In the past two years the traffic
studies of the federal experts SHOW
that approximately an average OF o.
600 tons of outgoing products were
hauled over the improved roads in
the county an average distance or
eight miles. or total of $4,000 ton
miles" Before the roads were i'm
proved It was estimated hat the aver
age cost of hauling was 20 cents
"ton.mile;" after the improvement this
fell to - cents a ton mile or saw
ing of eight cents. A saving of eight
cents per mile on $4,000 ton miles
is SAL 900 a year
Because this saving, in cases of this
character, does not take the form OF
cash put directly into the farmers
pocket, there is a widespread tendency
to believe that it is fictitious profit.
while as a matter of fact 1t is just
as real a source of profit as an in
crease in the price OF wheat.
In Dimwiddie county, Virginia, for
example, where peanuts are one OF
the staple crops, the average load for
two mules on main road was about
thousand pounds before the road was
improved After its Improvement the
average load was found to be 1000
pounds. and the time consumed in
hauling the larger load to market was
much reduced

GREEDY HOGS ARE DESIRABLE
Oregon Station Finds by Actual Feed
ing Tests That Heaviest Eater 10
Most Profitable.

The Oregon agricultural station has
found out by actual feeding tests that
the hog which eats most greedily Is
the most profitable. Thirty pigs were
divided into three lots, the heaviest
eaters In one lot, and others graded
according to their capacity for con-
Stunning feed.
A hundred hogs like the heaviest
eaters at the rate Of gain made and
present prices, would make a profit
of $297.65, or almost exactly 50 a
head. A hundred like the poorest
feeders would have made profit or
s1l5.65, or only little more than a
dollar a head. They were evenly
graded as II size and sex. II there
is this great difference between the
heavy eating hogs and the light eat
ers-then most hog growers will agree
that the breeders, might we'll devote
themselves to breeding appetite in
hogs. instead of color or fancy points.
If the appetite makes the profits.

IDEAS ON ROAD IMPROVEMENT

Sanity has overtaken the advo-
Gates of better rural highways. In the
old days the good road advocate
dreamed of nothing less than macad-
am, and his visionings ran often to
brick.paved paths and concrete coun-
try lanes. All the rural world rolled
smoothly by over traffic ways that
would cost anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile. That was before
the farmer had really entered into the
movement and before the small town
merchant, the rural banker, and the
county seat cities had begun 10 think
about good roads in terms of dollars
and cents. Twenty years of agitation
has brought us face to face with the
fact that the taxpayer does not want
speedways, joy-rider trails or roads
Tor pleasure traffic, says st. Louis Re-
public. The man on the farm wants
a good firm, well drained highway that
he can use at any and all seasons Of
the year, and he does not want to be
bankrupted or driven to the poor
house in getting It.

POULTRY CORNER
FOR THE BOYS
1t Pays to Keep Clean.
BY j. H. REED.


No matter what business you are
in it pays to keep your shops and
your stores clean. And SO it is in the
poultry business.
For hens will not eat from a dirty
floor. No matter how tempting the
feed may be, they refuse to accept it
when it is scattered in dirty bedding
among the remains of two weeks feed
ing. or course if they will not eat,
they cannot lay. And if they cannot
lay, your chances for a profitable sea-
son will go glimmering.
So it is up to you, young man, to
clean up that poultry house floor and
keep it clean. Sweep out the old bed
ding and leftover feed every morning.
Get into the corners and under the
nests. Do a good job of it, if you are
going to do it at all
And when you have it all cleaned
up, spread some fresh straw over the
floor, and feed your grain in it, Do
this each and every day, until 1t be-
comes a habit Clean out the water
pans, too, and fill them with clean,
fresh water
And your hens will repay you for
your trouble by laying twice as many
eggs. 1t pays to keep clean.

medicine is open to women, are 10000

because we are tired of ignorance in
pity?
If there were no other field for

They are poor mothers, for they are
of nervous temperament and are
easily frightened, The Leghorns,
Spanish, Minorcas, and Hamburgs are
typical of this class The Leghorns
are perhaps the most popular with US,
For size, the meat breeds are the
champions. Mature fowls in this
class average from six to eight pounds
in weight They are usually consid-
cred poor layers, although the pull
lets often do fairly we'll. They are
slow-moving, heavSbodied fowls OF
gentle disposition, and are persistent
settlers. The Rrahmas, Cochns and
Langshans are breeds of this class.
Under the head of general-purp1se
breeds are classed those fowls that
furnish a fair quantity and good quail
ity of meat and also large number
of eggs when properly cared for. The
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and
Rhode Island Reds are familiar
breeds Of this class. Plymouth Rocks
probably stand first in point OF num-
Der
Pleasing appearance rather than
utility characterize the fancy breeds.
While many of the fancy breeds may
serve a useful purpose in furnishing
meat and eggs, they cannot compete
in this respect with the other classes.
The Polish and I'antams are repre-
sentative of this class.
Having settled upon the breed he
will raise, the beginning poultryman
must next give his attention to the
matter of obtaining foundation stock.
BY dealing with one of the successful
breeders of known reputation he cam
not easily go far astray.
For the inexperienced breeder 1t Is
best not to buy the most expensive
stock on the market to start with
for at first certain losses are likely
to occur which will be avoided when
he has mastered some of the secrets
of his trade"

Is it for fun, love. or money that
you wish to raise chickens?
First decide this, and then pick your
breed accordingly.
This is the advice which an expert
enced Wisconsin poultryman gives to
all "embryo" chicken farmers. He
emphasizes this as the prime factor
in a successful beginning
what is the object of your venture
study the requirements of your mar
ket and then choose a breed that will
meet these conditions.
It must be very obvious to even the
novice in the chicken business that
different conditions demand different
breeds. The millionaire fancier may
well crafty his hobby of breeding
beautifully plumed bantams, but he
who desires to sell roasters and who
depends on his flock for living must
pick the breed of fowls that grows TO
a good size in short time.
Many authorities agree that all
fowls may be classified under one OF
four heads: Egg breeds, meat breeds
general-purpose breeds, and fancy
breeds. While this classification is
useful in distinguishing fowls accord
ing to their characteristics, 1t should
not be inferred that the distinctions
are hard and fast.
The usefulness of any breed will
depend to a considerable extent upon
such conditions as food care, climate
and market demands. Thus, If it be-
came the fad" in New York to serve
roast bantam pullets, the poultrymen
of that section could profitably raise
the tiny birds for table use, although
they are now considered a fancy
breed.
The egg breeds include all small or
medium sized fowls having strong
tendency toward egg production. Al
most without exception the noted egg
producing breeds are small or medium
sized, and possess trim, neat bodies.
