OTHER PEOPLES MONEY.

Rich mems sons and inheritors OF
wealth have succeeded, have risen
above their unfortunate environment.
and, aided by other peoples money,
have at times accomplished great re-
suits; but the large majority Of men
or mark, men who are recognized as
leaders in their lines, reached their
goal through their own endeavors and
| wholly without financial or other as
| sistance.
A close study of conditions proves
beyond doubt that comparatively few
men have succeeded except by their
own personal endeavors.
So much is self-work necessary for
self-advancement, that sensible and
practical men of wealth invariably
subject their sons to hard training. In
stead o. placing them in responsible
positions, at the start, they require
them to learn the business from the
bottom up, even though it may be nee
essary for them to carry the dinner.

Practically every railroad president
began as a brakeman, or occupied
some other mental position. He was
good brakeman before he was a con-
ductor; good conductor before he
was the superintendent of minor di

progressed upward.
Nearly all of our great merchant
princes began as Office boys, swept out
the store, and carried bundles.

PROFIT FROM ALFALFA ACRE
Greatest, Most Profitable and Produc.
tive Swine Foraoe-Test Made
at Iowa Station.

(By JOHN NJ. EvvARD. Chief in Swine
Production, Animal Husbandry Section,
Iowa Experiment Station.)
Recently there was returned a profit
OF little over $3.50 for the operations
carried on an acre of alfalfa; the corn
was charged at 60 cents, and the hogs
sold for 81.
Now these are the returns for the
happy combination of settled corn
and an acre OF settled alfalfa, taking
young growing fattenipg pigs to the
weight OF $50 pounds, no charge being
made for the alfalfa. Charge the al
falfa at $40 an acre and there remains
$240 pork values (assuming no loss Of
pigs) over and above feed costs. Labor
Is arbitrarily assumed to be Offset by
the manurial residues remaining: of
course charge OF 81 pig labor could
be charged and still leave for the
acres operation net return Of $206.
The alfalfa acre carried A pigs on
the average from weaving to market,
these pigs finishing at $50 pounds,
fat and high-dressing. Nc alfalfa, of
all pastured. This is not the best prac-
tice, but it shows what corn on an al
fa,fa acre will do when the corn as
well as the alfalfa is pushed to the
limit.
These pigs gained LAG pound a day
during the entire grazing season of
lao days, requiring 1887 pounds of corn
feed fer hundred pounds gain, this
costing $4.14 with 60-cent corn. The
charge fer alfalfa on the basis of a
hundred pounds gain amounts to $.12
t12 cents), making a total cost of
1925.
After paying for the alfalfa and
crediting all the proflrs to the corn
the net return per bushel was, with
81 hogs, almost dollar, or exactly
9s.5 cents.
But let US remembe, that alfalfa in
itself will not net $3.50 on the acre, or
corn alone 9S.5 cents to the bushel
when fed to 81 hogs.
1T is the very happy combination of
settled corn and settled alfalfa that
does these things.
The cost of gains with 60-cent corn,
and $40 alfalfa at $4.25 perhaps tells
the story test-although 1t is we'll to
bear in mind that after all is said and
done in the swine forage story that
corn and alfalfa are prominently the
most profitable corn belt doublet of
economic feeds that it is possible to
grow and fatten Swine. on

most profitable swine growing feed.
Why not plan the swine feeding with
alfalfa and corn as the basal feeds?

prepared by the United States Depart

By simple drainage much of the wet
swampy farm land which cannot be
cultivated in its present condition
may be made productive. There
is also many piece of cult
waited land which is not producing
what it could be made to do if it were
properly drained. Indeed, according
to the departments specialists, drain

begun, and it's immense possibilities
are but little known. Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 524 CT the United States de-
partment of agriculture discusses this
subject in some detail.
Lands that are too wet for the most
probable production Of crops, such as
wet level land, low spots. and the dry
subsoils of fiat areas on the submits
of knobs, river and creek bottoms, and
peat boys, should be drained. Even
uplands may often be drained with
profit, especially hillsides subject to
erosion or inclined to be "spouty." In
deed, drainage is profitable wherever
1t is necessary to the fullest use OF the
land. 1t is not uncommon for lands
too wet for cultivation to produce,
when drained, GO to 20 bushels of corn
or oats or from one to one and half
bales of cotton to the acre. On much
of the drained land the increase of
yield is from 25 to 100 per cent, and
by the increased yield and decreased
cost of cultivation the value Of the
and is often doubled.
Improves the Soil.
Drainage improves the physical con-
dition of the soil by making it more
porous and friable. Thus stiff soils
are made more easy to work. The
roots of plants are given a greater
feeding depth by the lowering of the
water level and hence the ability of
crops to utilize moisture is increased.
Well-drained soils absorb more rain
fall than undrained soils, thus de-
creasing erosion and damage by floods.
Drainage warns the soil. Heat
from the sun acts directly upon the
soil when excessive moisture Is re.
moved by drainage. This is notice
able in the North, where the planting
season is from one to two weeks
earlier on drained land than on sim
liar land when undrained. The dan

The most practical drainage system
is one that is adequate, permanent

not a hindrance to cultivation. Tile

or closed outlets most nearly provide
such a system. BY the open-ditch sys-

that any circuit judge may in his dis
cretion, suspend all such Imprisonment
except 30 days for the first offense and
90 days for subsequent ofenses, upon
such terms and conditions as he may
