(By FRANK D. THOMSON1
1t Is surprising to observe how many
stock farmers have been inclined, after
having bred grade cattle for a con-
siderable number of years, usually of
Shorthorn blood, to use upon these
females a cross of some other breed.
The writer has known a number of in
stances of herds having been graded up
in Shorthorn blood for a period Of
10 to 25 years, and then all of these
years effort abandoned by the intro
ductiOn of a sire of another breed.
In some cases, the first cross on such
a foundation appears entirely satisfac-
tory, but the later crosses are less
reliable and in large percentage of
cases prove a disappointment.
1t takes years to grade up a herd,
and when this is done by the continu-
GUS use Of registered sires of any breed
the results show steady improve
ment, assuming the sires used to be
of higher standard than the founda-
ton females. After a few such crosses
are made, the herd becomes for all

FEED SPRING PIGS
GOOD FORAGE CROPS
Make Five Times Greater Profit
Than Those Fed in Dry Lots
Alfalfa Favored.

(By r. A. GATEWOOD, Kansas Expert
ment Station.)
Spring pigs fed on good forage crops
will make five times as much profit
as those fed on dry lots.
The cost Of 100 pounds of gain on
young pigs with corn at 80 cents a
bushel and such forage crops as al
falfa, rape and clover, runs from $3.50
to 1895; with older hogs from 1923
to $5.31.
The accredited gain in pork to an
acre of forage varies, depending upon
the crop, age Of the hog and the
amount of grain fed. An acre Of sweet
clover with corn at so cents and hogs
at IS hundred pounds netted $52O7 !;
rape, $3.50; alfalfa, $3.50, and q
combination of oats, peas and rape,
$64.6O.
OF all forage crops, alfalfa is the
great permanent crop, while rape is
the emergency crop, and green rye the
fall and early spring crop. The ideal
forage crop should show adaptability
to soil and climate, permanency, pala-
liability, reasonable cost Of planting
and good pasture at any time during
the growing season. Alfalfa, clover
and rape have most of these qualities.
There Is no better opportunity for the
Kansas farmer to make cheap pork
production than by fattening spring
pigs on forage crops.

SIMPLE METHOD OF
NEGOTIATING SOILS
Ordinary Furniture Glue Has
Been Found Effective by Coun-
ty Agents in Illinois.

Coating the seed of legumes with in
oculated soil before planting is SIM
pie method of insuring soil inocula-
ton at slight cost. County agents in
Illinois have found ordinary furniture
glue effective in holding particles of
inoculated soil to the seeds. This
method gives each individual seed
some of the particles of inoculated soil
which it carries with it when it is
planted. The scheme requires but q
small amount of inoculated soil and
costs but a few cents an acre. The
method is described in Farmers Bull
letin 704 of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
Dissolve two handfuls of furniture
glue for every gallon Of boiling water
and allow the solution to cool. Put
the seed in a washtub and then sprin-
kle enough of the solution on
the seed to moisten, but not to wet
it Zone quart per bushel is sufficiently
and stir the mixture thoroughly until
all the seed are moistened.
Secure the inoculated soil from a
place where the same kind of plants
Gs the seed are growing, making sure
that the roots have vigorous develop
ment Of nodules. Dry the soil in
the shade, preferably in the barn or
basement, and pulverize 1t thoroughly
into dust. Scatter this dust over the
moistened seed, mixing thoroughly un-
til the seed no longer sticks together.

and hut for its length, the writer would
have been pleased to have copied the
article in its entirety. The purpose for
which this article Is published, how
ever, that of letting the readers of the
paper know of the great progress that
Is being made in agriculture in West

readers of this paper doubtless have

Reproducing from the article:

a slip of white paper, and we accept
1t at dollars worth, but neither the
paper nor the printing are worth
copper. What gives 1t value Is the
promise of the people of Canada which
stands behind the printed slip, and our
faith in that promise.
Now do you know who's got the
money?
Let us put 1t into figures. The farm
ers of Alberta. Saskatchewan and
Manitoba last year raised 42,94S, 600
bushels Of wheat. II we take for an

The creameries Of Saskatchewan, for
instance produced more buttermilk
and ice cream last year than their
total production amounted to six years
ago. The milk, butter. and cheese pro-
duction Of Alberta for 1915 was valued
at over eleven million dollars. The po-

WHY GROW Sheep

They will thrive and do well
on the rough hillsides, better
than any other of our farm ami
mails.
They are the cheapest means
of Graduating weeds on the
farm.
They are more economical to
feed than any other farm ami
mails.
They do not require much la
Dor and bring good returns.
They add fertility to the farm,
acting as natures manure
spreader.
The prospect of the foreign
demand for sheep and wool
caused by the European situa-
ton will make the business even
more profitable.

slaves To Meals.

Parents often make q serious mis-
take I'm urging food on their children
when they do not care for It, One
meets parents now and again who
worry over child because he does
not fill himself up three times a day.
A far-better plan would be to provide
wholesome and reasonably attractive
food for the child, and then let him
alone. If he does not want to eat,
don't press food on him. Have some
confidence In nature. An appetite uri-
spoiled by gorging or by the use of
sweets. condiments and stimulants
may be relied upon to guide the in
dividual. whether he be young or old.
respecting the amount of food he
should consume.
A parent ought often to say to a
boy or girl from ten years on--one
who is accustomed to indulge liberal
ly In food at dinner and supper. Take
this apple and RUN off to school. Your
mind will be clear II you do not eat
anything else, this morning." Such
advice would be especially helpful
when pupils In the high school and
in the higher grades have examina-
lions. Children of this age ought to
get into the habit of thinking that
they can pass over q meal and not
perish. They ought TO gain q certain
amount Of indifference to meals. They
ought not to become slaves to the
Internationally plan. so that IL they
miss a meal they are incapacitated
until the next meal comes around.
This 10 purely a matter OF habit. alike
of body and of mind. and not of me-
cesSity. One often meets men and
women who are eating three times
a. much food AZ they need. and II by
accident they are unable TO get a
meal at the regular time. they are
completely upset. and they imagine
they will die unless they can get some
thing to eat before the next meal.
This habit is serious menace to
physical and mental efficiency. and

Alphabetically considered, the bed

these possible features should have
