supply and therefore the supply of
available plant food, had been more
nearly maintained in the rotation of
the manfred plots. A great differ
ence in the color of the soil of the
two plots at the Missouri station
where corn had been grown continu
ously both with and without manure
was noticeable. The unmanured plot
was much lighter in color and of
much poorer texture, thus showing
very clearly it's lack of humus as com
pared with the one beside it. 1t must
not be understood from this that crop
rotation alone will maintain fertility.
but it is the first essential, and the
rotation must include legume crops.
Eegumes are humus-building crops,
because in order to put humus in the
soil, nitrogen is necessary, and these
plants secure it from the air. This
experiment shows clearly the ad-
vantages of live stock farming in
maintaining soil fertility.
Upon the plot where farm manure
was applied with q rotation of corn,
wheat and clover, there was a margin
of 81 bushels of corn per acre above
the cost of growing. Estimating that
it will cost % bushels or about $40
per acre to grow the corn, there is a
cash profit of so cents per bushel, of
$26.50 per acre.
In the second plot, where no ma
nure was applied with a rotation o'
corn, wheat and clover, there was a
margin of &c bushels above the cost
of growing or a cash profit of $13.
On the plot where corn was grown
continuously for II years, without ro-
tation, there was a loss of $3.50 per
acre, or 10 bushels below the cost of
producing an acre of corn.

LIVE STOCK AND LEGUMES

A ton of average Iowa or Illinois soil
contains but a few pounds of actual
fertility; that is plant food material
which is available or ever can become
available for the use of crops. The
remainder is simply waste material
and cannot be used by plants as food
When this fertility has once been ex-
hausted, remember that it is gone for
ever and will not return except as it
is purchased.
The actual value of soil is shown by
its power to produce crops. This pro-
ductiyeness depends not only on the
kind of soil, but upon the condition
of It. The soil must be well drained,
contain a sufficient amount of vegeta-
bic matter or humus and be well
worked, in order to be in proper physi-
cal condition to produce crops. These
conditions are brought about principal
" by tillage and crop rotation.
If it is possible then for the farmer
to control the air circulation in the
soil, its water-holding capacity. the
bacterial content, and its available
plant food by proper soil tillage, it
is surely profitable for every farmer
to give his land careful, personal
study so that the conditions in it are
tae best for the production Of the
largest crops of the best quality.
Productive Land.
On farms where live stock is kept,
the land is much more productive
than on farms where exclusive grain
farming is followed. Where the crop
is sold on the market all of the plant
food contained in the crop removed.
Is lost to the soil. Where all crops
are sold, practice familiarly known
as thinning the SOIL" the result is,
without fail, the impoverishment of
the soil. This practice will result in
a deficiency in organic matter, which
is one of the most valued properties
in farm manure, and can be most eco
nomically supplied by its use.
No man should expect to make a
profit from farming by growing one

Live Stock and Legumes.
For II years three systems of farm

farming was practiced; that is corn,
wheat and clover were grown in rota-
uon with grain crops, the crops fed

to the land.
On plot two a simple rotation Of
corn, wheat and clover was followed
ana the crops harvested and sold of
the farm.
On plot three corn was grown e.
cry year for II years. and every crop
harvested and removed from the land.
Vh this plot the yield was reduced In
tne last year of the experiment to lis

protein feed for his stock, and ex-
pend as little money as possible for
bran, cottonseed meal, and other high
priced protein feeds.
Dairy Essentials.
The dairy business, too, calls for in
tellectual activity. Such exercise is
good for the boys and girls. The dairy
business evens up things on the farm.
1t gives steady employment. 1t is
cash business. A man feels independ-
ent when he knows that his income
is steady. Dairying builds up the
farm. 1t requires fewer acres and
consequently leads to more neighbOrs.
There is always an air of prosperity
about a well handled dairy farm. The
dairy business adds permanency to
the community. The success of the
man engaged in it depends upon keep
ing milk records. 1t costs but little
and returns a hundredfold. There are
good COWS and poor cows. A farmer
should find out which are the poor
cows and which are the good ones.
This can be done by marking down
what they produce each day, and us
ing the Babcock test. Milk the good
COWS and sell the Improbable ones
for beef.
"Feed what you raise, and raise
what you feed" has been the watch
word of the best farmers in America
for many years. 1t is the only safe
system.
Living on the farm means more
than most Of US realize. Not just to
live there, but to make II a home.
Not just, to grow corn, wheat and al
falfa, but for the benefits that may
come to our homes and to our chill
dren through the things that we pro-
duce.
1t does not make much difference
how much wheat we raise or how
much corn we grow, but 1t does make
a tremendous difference what we do
with the profit that we get from the
corn and the other things that are
produced from the soil.
Farmer Was Power.
The pioneer American farmer Of
the nineteenth century was a power
In his day. He did we'll his work of
clearing away the forests. establish
ing homes, building roads and settling
the wilderness. And If he did not
cultivate and care for the soil as he
should have done. we cannot blame
him, because the need was not press
ing that day. 1t was not his problem.
The care Of the soil is the problem
of the farmer Of today. He is being
called upon for many things that are
real necessities. He must improve his
soil. He must not forget that Live
Stock and Legumes are the basis Of
Permanent Agriculture.
