ATTENTION 70 COTTON SEED
Big Waste of transportation and Loss

In Handling Dirt.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
An enormous amount of useless dirt

chased and handled with cotton seed,

by the United States department of ag-
riculture. This trash wastes trans

damaged seed and lower quality of

To save these wastes and losses pro-

TO take the following measures, which
II is believed will be of mutual advan.
tage and Of benefit to the entire coun-
try.
Cotton producers viii help by bring

THE RICHEST DOG.

The richest dog in the world is
said to be Billy, belonging to an
American mining magnate. Billy is
a big dog, and ON one occasion he
was plotting his master and his mate
to their cabin ON the mountains,
when the latter was SO sure that a
certain turning was the right one
that he left Billy and his master to
go their way and he took his, giving
the dog a parting kick to show his
contempt for his intelligence. But
the dog was right, and presently con-
Quoted his master to the cabin, and
then, in spite of the kick, set out to
find the other man. He found him
utterly lost and at his last gasp al
most, and led him back. SO grateful
was he that he presented the dog,
after he had struck it rich,' with a
gcld-studded collar, and opened
banking account in his name, which
will only be disturbed to give him a
fitting funeral.

COURTESY ON COUNTRY ROAD
Transfers and Automobile Drivers

other hand Transfers are often put
to good deal OF inconvenience by
being compelled TO pull heavy loads

There is one positive danger which
auto drivers could minimize by taking
the trouble 10 dim their lights when

ARE YOUR HOGS PROFITABLE?
Pregnant Brood Sows Do Well on
Glover or Alfalfa Forage and Ear q,
or Two Of Corn Daily. =

Glover was worth over 500 per acre
In replacing corn in the hog ration in
one test conducted ut the Ohio expert
ment station, when corn was valued at
Sl.GS per bushel. Other forage crops
proved almost as valuable. Are you
cheapening pork production by the use
of such crops? There is no cheaper
feed up TO a certain point. Pregnant
brood sow will do well on clover or
alfalfa forage and an ear or two of
corn daily. Young pigs and shOtes
must have more grain, of course, but
they relish someefOrage. Fence off
part of that clover or alfalfa field and
give the hogs chance at it if you have
not already done so.

FkTTEN TURKEY FOR MARKET
Poultry Husbandman of Texas College
Tells of Mistakes Made in
Finishing Young Birds.

Some attention should be given to
the condition of the birds when tur-
keys are marketed. Those who have
had experience in finishing the birds
know what II means to have them
in prime condition. Prof. +. w. Kas-
meier, poultry husbandman Of the
Texas A. & NJ. college, explains:
Many young turkeys are hurried TO
the market just about the time that
they make the greatest gain. This is
a losing practice for the grower. In
spite of the fact that feed is high, the
first five or six pounds of turkeys
weight are the most expensive to pro
duce. 1t certainly is. not good busl-
ness 10 sell the young turkeys while
they are still ''pinny." Keep them Il
few weeks longer and feed them well.
This year turkey ralsers will again
be tempted TO sell their early Matched
turkeys and keep late Matched speci-
mems for breeding purposes. This is
a very serious mistake. Keep the early
Matched turkeys and few of the most
vigorous early Matched toms for breed
ing next year.
Last spring turkey raisers were I'M
able 10 supply the demand for eggs
for Matching and breeding stock. The
same condition will exist this year.

By o. r. JOHNSON, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.) III
A profitable farm business must be
a good-sized business. A good-sized
business does not always mean large
number Of acres-although II usually
does. BY goOd-sized business is not
meant farms Of two or three thousand
acres. A good-sized farm in Missouri
need not be more than 400 acres. Some
businesses on much smaller farms are
big enough for satisfactory profits.
A man on a good-sized farm can
make profit more easily than man
on a small farm. He can employ men,
horses, and tools more efficiently, can
follow a good cropping system more
easily, and can have more lines Of
work so that his risk of loss is less. A
more regular supply of labor and bet
ter distribution Of capital is possible.
These are some of the reasons for the
larger business.
Size of Business.
The number of acres operated Is not
the only measure of size of business.
The man with too heavy capital In
vestment may think he has large
business when in reality II is very
small. The Investment of the average
farm of region is the safest guide
for that community. A man with a
large number of acres and not enough
capital TO operate them is much worse
off than If he had fewer acres and

POPULAR BREEDS OF SHEEP
Shropshire Combines in Fairly High
Degree All Qualities Sought by
American Breeders.

Sheep die easily sometimes, especial
ly so for the man who is inexperienced
with them. II may be said that the
larger the breed the less bardlhood
they exhibit. Internal parasites kill
more sheep than all other causes com
bined. Pneumonia, however, is quite
common among the large English
breeds.
The Mcrino is the hardest Of all
breeds, and the Southdown Of all the
English breeds. But the Shropshire is
perhaps the most popular sheep in
America today. II combines In a fair
ly high degree all the qualities that are

enough, but not too much.
Another factor which may limit the
the size of business is the productive
ty of the land. The men on farms Of
average productivity and up to one
fifth more than average are the for.
tunate ones. The man with less than
average yields or more than one-fifth
better than average yields finds II
harder to make a success Of his busi-
ness. With less than average yields
he gets no profit from crop produc-
ton; with more than one-fifth better
than average yields he is usually pay.
ing more than the increased yield is
worth to get that yield.
System Of Farming.
Another factor of importance which
limits size of business is the system OF
farming which the man is following
In extensive farming regions like most
OF Missouri a man can put too much
labor on an acre of ground or he can
put too little labor on that acre. A
200-acre farm may readily be no more
efficient than a 1OO-acre farm because
the man on the 200-acre farm does not
farm the land, while the man on the
100-acre farm farms 1t right. The farm
