Quite Profitable and Humane TO Pro.
vide Means Of Giving Water
throughout the Day.

Some farmers find it quite profitable.
and certainly quite humane, to give
their horses q bucket of water several
times during the long mornings and
afternoons of the summer. For this
purpose they arrange a barrel on a
small sled, and each morning take it
with them to the field.
During the long mornings and after
moons 1t will be found to be profitable
to give the teams a bucket of water.
The horses do not drink much at a
time. but they do relish it. and it
stimulates them and in no small man
ner averts the danger Of o~verheating.
Users of horses in cities know the
value of watering them often, and they
do not pass a drinking place without
offering their horses water. These
teams are generally worked under
high pressure and under distressing
conditions, yet with fair treatment the
horses stand up well and do a great
volume Of work. In the dirt and heat
of the great cities 1t Is safe to assume
that II the practice Of watering only
three times q day were observed.
much less work could be done and
many horses would fall victims to heat
and overwork.

REORGANIZATION OF
The FARM BUSINESS
In Majority Of Cases 1t Means
Merely REIMBURSEMENT Of the
Present System.

Is your farm returning less than
hired mans wages? That is to say,
after crediting the capital invested
with five per cent interest, what Is
your labor income-what have you got
ut the end Of the year to show for
your work? There are farms that do
not pay more than hired mans wages
to their owners. A reorganization Of
the farm business is all that is neces-
sary on many Of these farms to make
them profitable. This reorganization
does not mea the Introduction of
wholly new systems Of farming. It
would entail. in the majority Of cases,
merely readjustments in the present
systems of management.
Perhaps you can't make these
changes right now-the crop season
takes all your time-but here Is some
thing to think about for the future:
"How can I make my farm business
more profitabler

IS cents. The yield per acre was
around 13 bushels: During the past
decade the price has ranged around 85
cents a bushel, and the yield has in
creased to about 20 bushels per acre.
The explanation of this probably lies
in the fact that under the higher pre-
vailing price it became profitable to
use more fertilizer and legumes and
give better hllage to the crop than IN
der the low scale Of prices.
Survey studies have never disclosed,
however, a group Of farms on which
the yield per COW had reached a point
above which profit decreased. There
does seem to be a point In yield per
COW above which increased yield Is
not accompanied by much further
economy of feed. Recent studies of
feed cost as related to milk yield,
made on four farms located respective
ly in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania, and North Carolina, running for
five years and involving careful, COM
plete yearly records of 443 cow-years,
indicate that this point Is reached at a
yield of between 5000 and 1000
pounds Of milk
The cost of feed per 100 pounds of
milk decreases rapidly up to about
5000 pounds yield, after which the de-
cline in cost is very slight. The les
son from this study is that it is Of
much greater Importance to increase
the milk yield up to between 5000 and
1000 pounds than it is to attempt to
get the yield above this figure, as far
as the economy Of the use Of feed is
concerned. 1t is easier to increase the
quantity Of milk when 1t is low than
when it is high. 1t is also easier to
better a low crop yield than 1t is to
increase already high ones. Further
more, in both cases improving a low
yield is. the most profitable thing to
do. In daifying, a high standard Of
production per COW is usually the key
note of success. According to the re-
cent Pennsylvania study Of $50 dairy
farms, 4S Of these farms showed a
yield per cow Of less than $50. The
labor income of these farms was As
per cent below the general average.
Twenty-eight farmers of the group had
incomes per COW of more than $120,
and their labor income was IS per
cent above the average.

STORY OF FEEDING
Three YOUNG PIGS
Greatest Gains Made at Texas
Station With Young Animal
Fed on Skim Milk.

At the Texas station three 62-day-
old pigs were fed six months as fol-
lows: Pig /, in a dry lot on milo chop
soaked in water; pig 2, in n dry lot on
milo chop and skim milk, the chop be-
ing soaked in the milk between feeds;
pig 3, on pasture and milo chop soaked
in skim milk between feeds. These
pigs made total gains for the period
of 94.5, $50. and 3D5.5 pounds. A..
though pig 1 was the largest at the
beginning, during the first month he
gained only SIS pounds, while pig 2
made more than four times as much
gain, and pig 8, more than five times
as much in the same length of time.
Pig / made a consistently slow gain,
but the other pigs made consistently
rapid gains. It Is thought that pig I.
was not able to supply his body with
enough growing material for proper
development from milo chop alone. 1t
is estimated that pig 8 made a profit
Of $11.62; pig 2, $3.50, and pig /, a
loss Of % cents.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF HOGS
Protection From Sun, Pure Water and
Suceulent Grazing, Are Three
Important Factors.

Sun shades, pure water and succu-
lent grazing r three very important
factors in the summer management
Of swine. Hogs suffer more from heat
than any other class of animals. When
they were removed from their native
shaded haunts, and confined in pens
and open yards, exposed to the hot
rays Of the sun, and by the change
transformed from lank, large-lunged
animals into modern fat-backs. they
were made peculiarly susceptible to
the sizzling rays Of the summer sun.

yards. where they are exposed to the

though they r consuming sufficient
feed to make two pounds Of pork q

Hogs do not perspire. Other ami

few large pores on the legs provide the

while the thick layers Of fat check the

Excerpt From Some Outstanding Fac
tors in Profitable Farming" by j. s.
Gates, Yearbook. United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, 1851
The factor of profitable farming
which has probably heretofore re-
ceived more attention than any other
has been what might be termed eff
cheney, that is, the crop yield and
production per animal. AS a rule, crop
yields for a community are consider
ably below what would be the most
profitable, and production per animal
is decidedly below what has been
shown to be the most profitable. In
the Ease of crop yields, however, in
vestigati0ns have shown that the big
gest yield is not, by any means, al
ways the most profitable yield. AS a
rule, the most profitable yield Of crops
for a community ranges from Is to 30
per cent above the average yields pro-
duced by the good farmers Of that
community. If the yield rises much
above this figure, the profits Of the
farmers business are usually found
to decrease. 1t is possible to suffer
in getting too big crop yields. Quite
a few American farmers have reached
this point. The optimum yield for
greatest profit, Of course, varies wide
ly with different soils and economic
conditions.
Studies Of one large group Of Penn
~sylvania farms showed, when the yield
of crops reached a point about IS per
cent above the average for the region,
that there was a sharp decrease in
profits. The price Of products as re-
lated to the relative costs Of yields of
different magnitudes seems to be the
governing factor in determining the
most profitable yield. Survey studies
indicate that very few farmers are
producing as large crop yields as ex-
listing economic conditions warrant.
Farm practice, in the aggregate. al
ways responds to changed prices Of
commodities, but this response by the
individual farmer, in the majority of
cases, is made far more slowly than
the greatest profit would indicate.
To illustrate how the yield is deter
mined by prevailing price Of a product,
the case of corr in North Carolina
may be cited. In the decade previous
to the last, the average price per
bushel Of corn in that state a about

rivalries among cities across the cont.
nent for n designated place on the
route Of the racers, but, as may be
imagined, the interest has become in
tense among aviators and the manu-
f%acturers of aeroplanes and motors.
Inquiry upon inquiry has poured
into the Aero Club of America regard
ing details Of the transcontinental
aeroplane competition for the Pulit-
yer cup and the cash prizes, the first
Of which is $4,000.
To meet the special and public de-
mand for information as to how this
great national aerial derby is to be
conducted. the Aero Club Of America
sets forth the project with its patriotic
and progressive objects and tentative
ly-fOr the officials are still holding
themselves open to suggestions from
aviators and firms entering their
brands Of machines-have formulated
the rules and conditions of the con
test.
Many important Prizes.
1.-THE Aero Club of America" the
statement reads, "has offered q first
prize Of $4,000 to be awarded the avi-
ator winning the contest under the
conditions to be herewith described.
There will be about fifteen controls
(landing stations) on the route. and
each city which Is made a control will
give prizes, making n total of from
$10O.O0O to $150.000. from which fund
eight principal prizes and other spe-
cial prizes will be .awarded-the first
eight rs follows: First prize, $4,000
second, $4,000; third. $4,000; fourth,
$500; fifth, $1,000; sixth, $2.5OO; sew
enth, $1,000; eighth, $780,"
Special prizes will be given for the
best time between controls and for
the best demonstration with radio,
sending messages to land stations, for
the making Of maps for the war de-
partment and Of Photographic films for
%aeronautlcal maps Of the first great
aerial highway.
The winner Of the Pulitzer trophy
will, Of course, be the first aviator
who lands Mt the final control on the
Pacific coast. But when it comes to
the awarding the cash prizes certain
penalizations Of time are to be con-
sidered for changes in the motor and
aeroplane parts of the machine dur
ing their transcontinental journey. A
set Of these penalizations regarding
motor changes. repairs and alterations
has already been tentatively drawn up,
forming, as nearly as possible, a con-
sensus Of the suggestions Of entrants
and aeroplane makers.
Many Landings
Whatever the route chosen, the dis
lance between controls east of, say,
Kansas City, will not be more than
$50 miles, and in desert and mountain
ous countries in the West the distance
between controls will be limited to be-
tween 175 and 275 miles.
