FINE INVESTMENT IN CALVES
Writer Tells Of Profitable Experience
in Buying UP Young Animals
Feed Cost but Little.

Now is the time for farmers who
have more hay than they can feed, to
buy calves, for. they will make a fine
investment. At least my experience
proves so, says writer In an ex-
change. Three years ago we bought
II calves, as we had more hay than
we could use. 1t was cOwpea hay.
Usually at this time of the year some
farmers have one or two calves for
sale for about $40 to SIS each, which
is the price we paid for ours. We
turned them on pasture, and by the
time pasture was gone they were in
fair shape, as they were very poor
when we bought them. That winter
all we fed them was cOwpea hay. In
spring they were nice, sleek and fat.
Then about June and July we bred
them to a fine registered Jersey bull.
All the calves were part or all Jer-
seys.
The manure was worth as much as
the hay, for it is the best of fertili-

paying more attention to sanitary con-
ditions and ventilation in their live
stock-housing quarters.
At this time of the year many farm
ers are looking forward to the winter
months and are building new barns
which will provide them with the best
possible means of housing their cows
and horses in quarters equipped in
such a way that healthful conditions
may be maintained without excessive
labor. Those who have found the wis
dom of feeding ensilage have usually
had their new silo constructed and
filled on the site of the proposed barn.
The favored structure is a combina-
ton dairy and horse barn such as is
shown in the Illustrations.
This particular structure is SO feet
in width by 60 feet in length and fur
nishes stabling for "a cows and seven
horses. 1t is designed according to
the latest practice in farm-building ar
chitecture. The width is based upon
the proper size of stalls for the cows,
together with a correct allowance for
feed and litter alleys. Since the horse
stalls are placed crOssways of the barn
they do not enter into the determna-
ton of width. Eight feet of clear head
room is allowed over the COW stalls,
and nine feet over the horse stalls.
These values are based upon what is
considered correct from q STANDPOINT
of ventilation.
The whole foundation is of concrete
with footings and piers reaching down
to solid ground, below frost level, and
firmly embedded to prevent settling.
When the NOW above the stables is

WATER AND SALT NECESSARY
Important Requisites for Proper Manu-
facture Of Milk, Says South Da-
kota Professor.

Don't stint your dairy cows on wa
tel, If you want them to keep up the
milk supply, suggests Prof. G. Lar
sen of South Dakota State college.
He states that the amount of water
needed by dairy COW Is in proper
ton to the amount of milk she gives.
The average cow will drink about rs
pounds per day, while some very large
milk producers drink 200 pounds per
day. The dairy cows should also have
free access to salt. The right method
of feeding salt is to have water-tight
box 10 or IL feet long In the yard,
raised about two feet from the ground
on solid posts. Then put whole bar
rel of salt In the box and keep plenty
of 1t there all the time. The COW
needs salt not only for her body but
for the manufacture of milk.

CLEANLINESS is BIG FACTOR
Special Care Should Be Taken to Pre-
vent Meal in Corner of Boxes
From Fermenting.

Cleanliness is one of the most inn
portant factors in feeding young
calves. Clean feeding pals, troughs,
and stalls are safeguards against di-
gestive troubles. Milk should be fed
only in clean pals, which should be
washed and scalded after each feed
ing All feed boxes should be kept
clean. Special care should be taken
to prevent meal from fermenting in
the corners of boxes. Fermented or
moldy feed will often upset the diges-
tive system of a calf and endanger
its life. No more grain should be
fed than will be cleaned up in few
minutes. The bedding in calf stalls
becomes wet very quickly. The calf
should by all means be kept dry, and
it is therefore necessary to keep the
stalls well bedded at all times.

MT be content with knowing what is
to be done today, but he must know
what follows tomorrow and the next
day and the next. Farming is every
day becoming less and less an "easy-
gO-luCky" life, suitable for the man
who is too lazy to do anything else,
and it is becoming a systematic bust
ness requiring careful planning and
alert attention to details.
The modern farmer has already rec
OgnizeZd the fact that he cannot work
without the tools of his trade, and he
has set about finding the best way to
do the man ytasks of farm life with
the minimum eXpediture of manual
effort. The result is expressed in the
many farm implements and devices
which have during recent years been
placed upon the market. Time which
may be saved by the use of machinery
Is time which may be devoted to more
careful planning and the establishment
of more perfect organization in the
system Of management which governs
the farm work.
Not only is the creative genius of
the farmer directed toward the inven-
ton and Improvement of machines to
help him in his daily work, but he is
called upon to work out the proper de-
sign and arrangement of farm build
ings which will keep pace with the
modern methods of farming and the
latest practice in ventilation and sani-
tation. 1t Is true that every farmer
cannot be an inventor, but 1t is the
farmer in general whose needs are re-
sponsible for the effort which Is made
to produce these improvements, and
his suggestions are very often the en-
bodiment of the ideas which make
them possible.
All progressive farmers who realize
that this call Is being made upon their
ability to produce the Improvements
necessary for the advance of modern
methods in farming, even though they
cannot offer anything themselves, are
affected by the spirit of the thing
They are alert to see that which is
beneficial and they are enthusiastic in
their adoption of the new ideas which
they consider steps in advance.
Even the farmers who own only
small tracts of land are finding use for
fhe latest types of harvesting ma
chinery, gasoline power for pumps and
other devices requiring moderate
amounts Of power, gas and other light
Ing systems, hot and cold water in
their houses, and all sorts of modern
barn equipment. They are replacing
their older buildings for new ones If

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.
Legumes 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 a 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 13 bushels below the cost of
producing an acre of corn.

LIVE STOCK AND LEGUMES

A ton Of average Iowa or Illinois soil
contains but 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-
ductiveneSs 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-
BILE matter or humus and be we'll
worked, in order to be in proper physi-
cal condition to produce crops. These
conditions are brought about principal
ty 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 it's available
plant food by proper soil tillage, it
Is surely profitable for every farmer
to give his land careful, persona!
study so that the conditions in it are
the 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, q practice Familiarity known
as mining 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 it's USE,
No man should expect to make
profit from farming by growing one

crop and devoting two-thirds of his
time to doing it. Farming is a busi-
ness and requires all of our energies
intelligently directed.
Interesting Experiments.
Among hundreds of experiments
conducted in the past 25 years with
different cropping systems one of
them carried on for a period Of IT
years by the Missouri agricultural col
lege stands out as q striking ex-
ample of the influence we have upon
the soil, to improve 1t, or exhaust 1t
as we choose.
Live Stock and Legumes.
For II years three systems Of farm
Ing were practiced on three plots Of
ground.
On plot one a system of livestock
farming was practlced that is corn,
wheat and clover were grown in rota-
ton with grain crops, the crops fed
to live stock and the manure returned
to the land.
On plot two a simple rotation Of
corn, wheat and clover was followed
and the crops harvested and sold off
the farm.
On plot three corn was grown ev-
cry year for II years, and every crop
harvested and removed from the land.
On this plot the yield was reduced in
the last year of the experiment to 11.S
bushels per acre.
Where the land had simply been ro-
tated to corn, wheat, and clover. the
yield was 507 bushels per acre, and
where manure was added in a corn,
wheat and clover rotation, the yield
was 77.6 bushels per acre.
No more striking results of the eff
feet of crop rotation could be found
and there Is little doubt that the most
important cause of this increased
yield is In the fact that the humus
