HAVE LIVE STOCK INSURANCE
Movement First Appeared Along the
Atlantic Seaboard and Is Rap
idly Moving Westward.

tBy ]. o. RANKIN. Missouri College OF
Agriculture.)
Mutual live stock insurance was the
first form of agricultural cooperation
to develop in this country and In some
others. Ii appeared along the Atlantic
seaboard but has moved steadily west
ward until it is found In practically
every part of the country. The mere
fact that it is SO prevalent is pretty
good proof that il is needed, but IL
is not nearly SO urgently needed In this
country yet as IL is in Europe, where
IL has reached a very much greater
development that has many lessons for
US. Many a man in Europe would
be left destitute or at least embar-
raised for life by the loss Of horse
or cow not covered by insurance. Many
a man who prefers 10 buy one good
cow would buy two poorer ones for
fear that one good one would die and
he would lose all he had IL he could
not protect himself by live stock in
surance. In England he may insure
not only the cow but practically every
thing else on the farm from the labor
er in the field TO the bees In the hive.
Conditions in this country are every
year becoming more and more like
those across the water which demand
such a great development of live stock
insurance. Free farm land is no long
er of very good quality, and soon the
government Will have none ut all.
Connection will no keener ond kaan-
err, and the struggle will no longer be
to amass n farm-made fortune. but
only to make living and keep what
we already have. at least for most
of us. Under such circumstances live
stock insurance, now a desirable thing.
will become absolutely necessary and
each man will have TO decide whether
to join mutual company or patronize
a commercial company.

SWEET CLOVER IS VALUABLE
One Of Greatest Soil Improvers and
Stock Feeders-Produces Much
Seed for Market.

Sweet clover, once regarded az
weed, is worth S1,000,OO0O00 to South
Dakota, because Ii Is one of the great
est soil improvers and stock feeders"
asserts j. G.. Hutton, associate agron-
omist at the state college. He says
Sweet clover helps TO maintain the
nitrogen supply in the soil; IL makes
good hay. and IL produces a large
amount Of valuable seed. for which
there Is ready market. There Is no
danger whatever OF its becoming n
field weed, which has been demon
strated by experiments where IL Is
followed by cultivated crop.

ALlGHTING BOARD FOR BEES
Writer in GIeanings of Bee Culture
Describes Devices He Uses Sue
cessfully on Hives.

A short time ago someone described
n floor-board which provided an en-
trance under the hive, and thus entirely
eliminated the porch. The only notice
taken of 1t was by one beekeeper, who
said that an entrance under the hive
could not be watched against clogging
up, etc. l will describe the board

STRAW FOR fertility
Practice of Burning Piles After
Threshing Is WastefuI.
Soils in Many Sections Would Be
Greatly Benefited by Addition of
FertiIizing Constituents
Present in Stalks.

From the time the prairies were first
was the general custom TO burn the
piles of straw which dotted the fields
after the fall threshing. In fact, it is
yet very common practice and very
wasteful one.
1t is an established fact that or
ganic matter is essential for soil fer
tility. No one disputes the fact that
our prairie soils are already rich in
this essential, but in many sections the
soils would be greatly benefited by
the addition of the fertilizing constitu-
ents which are present in the straw.
Hopkins of Illinois gives the value
Of Oat straw for manurial purposes at
$3.50 per ton. Wheat straw is valued
at sos per ton. The same relative
comparison gives the value of fresh
farm manure at $500 and barnyard
manure at 1924 per ton. Anyone who
destroys ton of wheat or oat straw.
therefore, destroys more fertilizing
elements than are contained in the
average farmyard manure.
The best method of handling straw
is to feed it to stock and return the
manure to the land. Thus il serves
double purpOse-fodder and manure.
When fed to horses or cattle on a
maintenance ration or those doing
comparatively little work. oat straw
is considered by Hoard's Dairyman to
be from One-half to twO-thirds the
value of good clover and timothy hay.
The manure from one ton of wheat
straw is worth $1.52, and that from a
ton of Oat straw is worth 1914. Thus
the wastefulness of burning straw is
evident.
When sufficient live stock is not
kept, however, to use all of the straw
In this way, the straw can be returned
directly to the land. 1t may be spread
and plOwed under or used as a top
dressing on grain or pasture.
