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
vas noticeable. The unmanured plot
vas 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. It must
not be understood from this that crop
rotation alone will maintain fertility,
but it is the first essential, and the
rotation must include legulne crops.
Legumes are hulnus-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 adj
H;ntnges 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 margin
OF 52 bushels of corn per acre above
l.le cost of growing Estimating that
lit will cost % bushels or about $40
rcr acre to grow the corn, there is a
cash profit of 50 cents per bushel, Of
5000 per acre.
In the second plot where emo ma
nure was applied, with a rotation O.
corn, wheat and clover, there was a
margin of 26 bushels above the cost
,sf growing or cash profit of $13.
On the plot where corn was grown
continuously for II years, without 70.
t;.tion, there was loss of $3.50 per
acre, or IL bushels below the cost OF
producing an acre Of corn.

The Iowa Beef Producers associn-

Data was gathered from 20 Iowa
farms in nine different counties
throughout the state. (see chart)
On ten average livestock farms 80
bushels Of corn Per acre were pro
duced as against IS bushels per acre
produced on ten average grain farms.
On ten average stock farms 50 bush
els Of oats per acre were produced.

Ten average stock farms produced

a one-crop system will impoverish
any country, and In turn It will i'm.
poverish the people that are on its
farms. It Is only through diversinca-
ton Of crops and the using Of our en-
ergies every day Of the year, that We
can make rich country. ,.3
Livestock farming Is diversified
farming and calls for Z system Of crop
rotation with legumes. It returns fer
tility to the soil. It adds interest to
the work of the, young people and
finally 1t Is best insurance OF an In
come. The kind OF live stock depends
upon local conditions. First, the pref
erence Of the farmer, second. the en-
svironment. Cows. hogs. horses, mules,
beef cattle and sheep, offer . large
range of choice and 1T into many con-
ditions. Horses and hogs are found
on every farm and they become very
profitable to the man who under
stands them. Sheep raising and dairy
ing may be combined as one herd or
handled separately.
In either case they will be found
profitable. Varying combinations Of
live stock may be found profitable.
Livestock farming requires 4 de-
.pendable feed supply. Silage and al
Ifalfa are an excellent basis. Corn.
.kafir, and other similar crops furnish
Isilage.

Dairy Essentials.
44 The dairy business; too, calls for in
Itellectual activity. Such exercise is
good for the boys and girls. The dairy
business evens up things on the farm.
It gives steady employment. It IL Q
cash business. A man feels independ-
ent when he knows that his income
is steady. Dairying builds up the
farm. It requires fewer acres and
consequently leads to more neighbors.
There is always an air 81 prosperity
about "a we'll handled dairy farm. The
dairy business adds perpanency to
the community. The success Of the
man engaged in it depends upon keep
Ing milk records. It costs but little
and returns a hundredfold. There are
good cows and poor cows. A farmer
should find out which are the poor
cows and which are the good ones.
This can be done by marking down
what they produce each day, and us
Ing the Babcock test. Milk the good
cows and sell the Improbable ones
for beef.
''Feed what you raise, and raise
what you feed, has been the watch
word Of the best farmers IN America
for many years. Il Is the only safe
system.

Wilson:
Foresees No Change.
Having conferred by telephone
during the day and lato this af-

committee and the Republican ANTON
al committee in California, 1 am
informed that the official canvass Of
the vote has been SO nearly COM
pleted that no change will result from
tho few precincts not counted in the
results thus far completed.
"This means that the majority for
the Wilson electors in California
ranges from about 1900 to $500 votes
and that this Is the final result of the
canvass for which we have been wait
ing. So far as any recount is con-
cerned, the national committee is not
