Modern Agriculture is Taking

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By {. c. BOWSFIELD


City men by scores are taking farms,
being convinced that under modern
conditions agriculture is one of the
best paying vocations Many who wish
TO become farmers, including persons
withou, experience and hired men who
are capable Of managing Il place, may
not have the capital to buy land. In
such cases renting affords an oppor'
tuaity TO make successful start Buy
ing outright is the better plan, how
ever, even If the start has 10 be mado
with place Of i've or ten acres
Either cash renting or the system Of
sharing profits may prove satisfactory
Investigation shows that ifty-eight
cash tenants In Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa made an annual labor income Of
only $3.50. or Si63 less than the cash
men. In the dry summer OF 1910 these
figures were just reversed. The dry
season compelled cash renters to stand
the burden OF all the loss. while the
share tenant was helped out by his
landlord. That season twenty seren
cash tenants received $3.50 against $727
average income for tenants who were
sharing
For a large number Of farms and
over a long period Of years the cash
man seems 70 come out ahead He has
the greatest risk, the largest invest
ment and the highest income. A large

TIME FOR BREEDING HEIFERs
When Bred Under Two Years Animal
Lacks Deveiopment-caIf Small
or Stunted in Growth.

It has been our practice never to
breed heifer until she is at least two
years old, says a farmer. By follow
ing out this method she will drop her
first calf when She is nearly full
grown, and strong and full of vigor.
When she is bred younger than this
her natural development and growth
are stunted or become checked, and
the result is that the calf she carries
will be small and puny at the time of
birth, Us the heifer has neither vitality
nor the capacity for nourishment suf-
ficiently to sustain it and promote the
proper development of her own body.
Other things that have observed
when heifer was bred too young are
as follows: The teats are not fully
developed, and this makes milking a
difficult problem. The first calf often
times is born dead on account Of lack
of proper nourishment.
Some bring forth the argument that
the price received for the calf will
make early breeding more profitable.
This is indeed great mistake and not
advisable, and close students along
this line will all agree with me on this
point, am quite certain.

last of November or fore part Of De-
cember they will be ready for use in
February. For later use they may
be put in later, but it IS necessary that
they be taken up in .he fall, as 1t
would be difficult after they are frozen
in the ground.
It is necessary that they have wa
ter after being placed in boxes, but
they do not need light and will grow
better in dark cellar. A single clump
of roots from well-developed hill will
afford stalks enough to give sufficient
amount of pie material for family.

RIGHT TREATMENT FOR R0UP
Best Plan to Rsetify Conditions Likely
% Cause TroubIe-Be Sure Y
That Coop u Dry.

Roup. or contagious catarrh, AZ It
Is sometimes called, shows itself in
the fall and winter when the chickens
are housed and when hand feeding II
used almost entirely. Therefore, at
this time Of the year chickens do not
get the usual amount of exercise, are
affected by dampness and lack of venti-
lation Of coops. and are often fed table
scraps or mashes which become easily
contaminated.
The symptoms Of this disease vary
considerably, but the most common
ones are swelling Of the head. dis
charges from the eyes and sometimes
from the nose, and Inflammation Of
the mouth, in which sometimes cank-
ers and false membranes are formed.
In advanced stages Of the disease the
chicken becomes drowsy and listless
and loses weight. There may be some
slight attacks in which only the eyes
or the mouth are affected, the bird
otherwise being apparently healthy.
The essential treatment for this
trouble is to rectify the conditions
which are likely to cause 1t. Make
sure that the coop is dry and has
plenty of ventilation without DRIFTS.
Roup Is not often found where the
hens are housed in the open-front
type coop. Also make sure that the
food and water are fresh and clean.

STAGE TO CUT: CROPS
Several Important Factors Must
Not Be Overlooked.
Proper Curing d Fodder and Feeding
Valus Of Cured Material Are Es-
sentiaIs Often Neglected
In Harvesting.

Farmers should harvest their forage
crops at proper stage Of maturity. II
best results are desired. Several fac
tors must be taken into account. Ac-
cording to Farm and Home. the yield
per acre, the proper curing Of the
fodder, and the feeding value Of the
cured material. all are essentials too
often overlooked.
The mixed crop, oats and peas, will
improve in composition, as it grows
older and should be allowed to stand
rs long as the. pea vines remain fairly
erect. In this stage Of maturity, the
fiesh-forning and fat-formjng constit-
uents in the fodder obtained will be
very nearly the correct one for we'll
balanced ration for most animals.
Field corn, millet, sorghum and kafir
corn will decrease very rapidly in pro-
tein content while heading out. The
percentage Of crude fiber also de-
creases. Both of these changes are due
to the rapid accumulation Of starch
and sugars in the plant juices at that
time, while there is an increase in the
much-desired nitrogen free extract. In
Cheyenne record., 1916-10-19

order to obtain a fodder having as
narrow a ratio Of fesh-forming to fat
forming elements as possible, the crop
should be cut at as early stage as it
can be well cured.
For roughage to be fed in connec-
ton with highly nitrogenous foods, it
may well be allowed to grow until
seeds are formed. After that period
the stalks rapidly become woody and
the proportion of waste is greatly in
creased, while the feeding value is de-
creased.
In determining the period best to cut
these crops, wholesomeness, digestibil.
ity and other factors must be taken
into account, whereas the chemical
composition has little to do with the
comparative feeding value.

opportunities, they developed their tai
ents by study, steadily working their
way through school, and in most cases
through college toward that broader
experience in the affairs of life which
ultimately fitted them to become "cabi-

an inspiration to those who, being born
and raised in the small country town,
are likely to consider their surround

ambition and energy, he will surely

Of hunters are presented in statement
Of the game commission now being sent

Birds are being exterminated under

posed is in restricting the season to
one month and changing the date until
the birds are full-grown and better
able to take care Of themselves.
What particular hardship would
there be in ordering close season for
two, three or five years and then seeing
that the law is rigidly enforced? Quail
and other game birds need more pro-
lection than the existing laws have
given them, and II all the states would

SAYS HOGS ARE NOT FILTHY
No Farm Animal More Deserving OF
Care and Protection, Yet He Is
Frequently Neglected.

By PROF. K. T. J. EKBI4Aw. Univer-
sity of Illinois.l
Hog raising has probably returned
proportionately greater profits to the
corn belt farmer than any other en-
terprise. In view of this, it might
naturally be expected that the hog be
the best-housed animal on the farm.
In the majority of cases, however, the
opposite is true.
The old-fashioned idea that the hog
is tough, filthy animal still persists,
and many farmers believe and act in
the belief that anything is good enough
for hog. As an actual thing, there
is no farm animal that needs care and
protection more than the hog.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
swamp-Root DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip.
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
6ltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat;
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
