I'll. E. Gray, Westfield, Purchases a
Valuable Bull.

H. E. Gray, Westfeld,, who has
gone into the Holstein business in
rather definite way, has been doing
considerable business of late. He has
been doing some official test work and
his COWS have been making creditable
records. He sold his young herd sire,
Piete Alcartra Korndyke, 14O737,
whose sire is Pietze Alcartra Fayne,
1922, and dam, Winana Korndyke
Beauty, 1O9171, who has a 21-pound
four-year-old record, to DR.. J. M. AL
len of St. Johnsbury for his herd
sire for $500. After completing this
sale Mr.. Gray turned around and

ter in seven days. The bull is now
jointly owned with J. W. Prentiss of
Alstead, N. H. Mr.. Prentiss has a
high value on this animal and would
not part with it for any ccnsidera-
ton. The daughters of the bull have
been making exceptional records and
he believes him to be one of the great
sires of the breed. He has recently
purchased a very highly-bred young
bull to breed the Pietze Alcartra
Fayn's daughters and wishes to re-
tain the bull to cross back the second
generation. Mr.. Gray considers him

Feb. 10 annually drew names from
two sacred urns in the temple, of those
of the opposite sex who fate decreed
were to be their sweethearts for the

SOME FACTORS WHICH MAKE
FARMS MORE SUCCESSFUL.

A farm management demonstra-
ton was started in 1915 in Barton,
Bloomington and Irasburg townships
by the Orleans County Agricultural
association. Records of the 1914
years business were secured from IL
farms In the spring of 1916, 80
records of the farm business of 1915
were taken. On 26 of the farms, rec
ords were obtained for both years. 1t
is these 26 farms which are included
inthis report of the second year of the
demonStra ton. =
ARE YOU MAKING A PROFIT
FROM YOUR FARM?
In order to be profitable the farm
should pay all running expenses, in
Guiding upkeep of buildings and ma
chinery, return interest on the mon

called your labor income. Below is
shown how the labor income was fig

WHY DID SOME FARMERS MAKE
MORE THAN OTHERS?

The charts on page No. 1 show that
there was considerable variation in
what the different farmers made.
Why was it that some farmers had
larger labor incomes than others?
some will say that it is due to the
ability of the farmer. However, this
is not a satisfactory explanation. A
farmer succeeds because he does GER
tain things and farms under certain
conditions. If we understand these
conditions and methods, they may be
copied by other farmers to their ad-
vantage. One of the objects Of this
demonstration is to point out what
these things are and bring them to
the attention of all the farmers.
When we want to compare what
different farmers made, we compare
their labor incomes. The following
pages show that the more successful
farms CD are the larger farms, (2)
have high-producing cows, (3)have
better crop yields than the average,
and (4) are we'll balanced. A farm
may be successful in spite of small
size, or poor cows, or poor crops; but
it will not be successful if low in all
Of these. The well balanced farms,
those good in all of the factors are the
ing your labor income-is it the size
or all of these? Notice how your
farm compares with the average in
these points. If your farm is one of
the more successful ones, perhaps it
could be improved even more.
is A SMALL FARM LIMITING
YOUR PROFITS?
The size of the farm business may
be measured by acres in crops, num-
Der of cows, or the capital invested in
the farm. The following table shows
how the labor income varied with the
capital invested:
Total Capt. Av. labor Av. re- No. of labor

.zoOo lsla 1913 s5 l ss Is! 1915 1919 1915
over H 1855 ss S4S sss 60 g Sim % SIN 10
It is seen from the table that the
labor incomes rose in 1914 from $449
on the small farms to $646 on the
large farms; in 1915 the rise was
from 1927 on the small farms to $723
on the large farms. The table also
shows that on the average the cows
on the larger farms were no better
than the COWS on the smaller farms.
A comparison of average farms

Total receipts 1886 $2647
Total expenses 876 1853
LABOR INCOME $50 913
The large farm has many very i'm
portant advantages over the small
farm. A farmer who takes in only a
small amount of money from his farm
business in a year cannot possibly
make large labor income. If he
takes in more money he has a chance
of making more. Labor was used to
better advantage on the larger farms
On farms of less than 40 crop acres,
one man handled 20 acres of crops
and one horse 16 acres of crops. On
the large farms Of over IS crop acres
one man handled 80 and one horse 26
acres of crops. These differences are
due to the more efficient use of labor
possible on large farms. The crop

LABOR INCOME,
$615

The receipts on this farm, including
any increased inventory, were 1894.
The farm expenses, including any de-
crease in inventory, were 500. The
differences between the receipts and
expenses was 1884. This was the
amount the farmer earned for his Ia
Dor and for the use of the money he
had invested in his business. The
1880 invested would have earned
him per cent interest or 1860 if in
vested elsewhere. In order to get
what this farmer earned for his la
Dor, the 1869 interest was subtracted
from the farm income, leaving $615.
This was the farmers labor income.
Besides his labor income, the farmer
has a home and the frewood, milk,
eggs, vegetables, etc., that the farm
furnishes. From studies made in La
noble family these items have val
lie OF about $3.50 per family.
A man with a mortgage on the
farm must rely chiefly on his labor
income for family expenses and to
pay off the mortgage. The man whose
farm is paid for can use the interest
his money earns, as well as his labor
income, to meet the cash expenses Of
his family and to save.
