LITTLE FARM HELPS.

It IS a good plan to locate corncribs
and hay stacks on high rolling ground
so that water will not settle toward
them.
A swamp that is an eyesore and ab
solutely useless as 1t stands may b'
drained and converted into a permu
nent pond by scraping out the bottom
and lining it with clay.
A patch Of stony. unproductive
ground can In a few years be con
verted into 4 Joy for the youngsters
by planting 1t to hickory trees.
Nothing adds so much to the com
fort Of everybody on the farm as dry
solid paths or walks running from the
house to all of the outbuildings and
connecting the latter.
If you do not have the energy to
build dipping tank for the hogs pour
some coal oil over the pond where
they wallow. and it will aid material
~ in disposing of the lice.

THE CULTIVATED ORCHARD.
iatereroppins May Be Practiesd With
Youna Trees.

iatsroroppins May Be Praetiesd With
Young Trees.
The cultivated orchard Is more pro
ductive and consequently more profit
able than the average orchard which is
neglected or in which grass or hay is
grown, asserts F. s. Merrill. assistant
in horticulture. Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
I'm the young orchard, however, a
judicious system Of intercropping may
be practiced without causing injury to
the trees, and at the same time profit
able crops will be produced in the
waste space between the rows" says
Mr.. Merrill Sufficient space should
be left on each side Of the tree to per-
NIT thorough cultivation Of the tree
rows. As general rule, the roots Of
the tree extend beyond the outer ends
Of the limbs. A strip may be left pro.
portionate in width to the spread Of
the branches.
zone of the most familiar types of
intercropping can be found In planting
filters between the permanent trees
and often between the rows. The
peach or some type of early maturing
apple can be used for this purpose, but
in most cases the grower will not re-
move the filters until they have at
tanned such size as to have interfered
with the permanent trees"

Soy Beans For Fodder.

The experiment station Of Connect
icut urges farmers in that state and
throughout New England to grow soy
beans as a fodder crop. They have
demonstrated the value Of this plant.
especially when mixed with corn in the
silo. They advise the following vari-
cites: Hollybrook. Medium Green and
Ito San. These yield we'll. the seed
Is not expensive. and they are well
suited to the climate. The soy beans
may be grown separately and mixed
with the corn at the cutter, or the two
seeds may be grown together. In the
latter case one part Of soy beans by
measure will be mixed with three parts
of corn and dropped out Of the planter
In this proportion. 1t is better to SOW
the two seeds together rather than to
wait until the corn is up and then drop
the soy beans. 1t is better to use lime
with them, although they will grow
fairly well without It incubation is
needed when the soy beans are grown
for the first time, but after the crop
is grown two years in succession no
further incubation will be needed.

BUYING A FARM.

When buying a farm remember thai
farming is as much of a business as
making bricks is, and investigate us
closely as If you were about to buy

six essential rules you cannot 60 far

First.-Be perfectly certain that your
neighbors are congenial. for farming
in an uncongenial neighborhood is i'm.
possible.
Second.-Locate near a school and a
church. You can get labor easier even
If you do not use them yourself.
Third-Be sure the country is health.
full and the water pure.
Fourth.-Look well into the transpor.
tation facilities-roads. railroads and
rates.
Fifth.-Find out where the markets
are.
Sixth.-Then buy a good piece of
farm land.
II you fulfill these six conditions
and there are plenty Of such places in
the United States-and you are willing
to work, really work. you will find

happiness on a farm.-World's Work.

Hog Down Some Corn.

One acre Of corn harvested by hogs
will return a greater profit than an
equal acre harvested in the usual way
At the Missouri experiment station an
acre Of corn hogged off produced more
pork than an acre Of corn harvested
and fed to hogs in the customary way.
It is not practicable to hog down the
entire corn crop. but it is good prac-
tice to utilize a certain portion Of the
crop in this way.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By G. 6. BOWSFlELD

Any city woman who Is determined
to live in the country and all farm
housekeepers who wish to build up q
retail trade for fine products should
make butter. This is much neglected
branch Of modern farming, but it is
one that belongs in every scheme Of
mixed husbandry.
The high prices Of butter today are
not phenomenal. Looking back over
market statistics for ten years. it is
found that prices reach the present
level nearly every winter and some
times are considerably higher. It Is
apparent to any one who studies the
