CHAPTER XII.
Joe's Father Studies.

n JOE went ahead with his prep
arati0ns on his own acre, the
IL same land that he had used the
~ last year. He had sowed IL
down In rye as a winter cover crop
and to prevent washing of the soil and
at the same time to afford a winter
pasture for the stock and pigs. The
rye was to be turned under when the
ground was first broken in the spring.
Mr.. Weston had planted six acres in
oats, but proposed to let them mature
after having been grazed by the stock
during the winter.
In his spare time Joe now hauled
leaves; but. since there was stock on
the place. the leaves were not applied
direct to the land. The COW and
horses were bedded In the leaves, and
a covered pen was built back of the
barn into which the leaves and bed
ding from the stalls were thrown each
day.
Amt no use In buildin' a fertilize'
pen, Joe" objected his father when the
subject was first mentioned. Just

Joe felt sorry for his father. who
seemed so keenly conscious of late re
garding his own limitations. Joe
sought to make him feel easier.

but | have. and that's what it says

SAVE COST OF MAINTENANCE
Highways Which Cost Most at First
Are Always Cheapest to Keep
In Good Condition.

By r. W. GAY. Mississippi Experiment
Stat!on.)
With the recently awakened interest
In the cause Of good roads the ques-
ton of financing road building is Of
first Importance. How rOad building
can be puid for is not the only serious
question, however, hut which one of
several possible methods Of construc-
ton will best suit the needs Of the
community and give the people the
best roads ut as small cost as possible
within the limit of the available funds.
The first cost may be only small
part Of the total. Roads must he
maintained in good condition, and the
cheapest road Is the one that costs
least per year to build and keep In
shape for travel. In New York state
1t was found cheaper to expend $o5. 600
Il mile in the construction Of brick
highways than to pay from $500 20
$4,000 mile for mncadnm because
Of the difference in cost Of upkeep.
To save maintenance expense the
idea of present economy must not he
allowed to overshadow the Importance
Of building permanent highways. AS
a rule the roads which cost the most
Mt first will be the cheapest to MAIN
tain.

ALFALFA SCORES AGAIN.

Alfalfa has beaten the other hay
crops again. 1t has produced more
hay per acre than have any ether
hay crop. This is not the whole
story as alfalfa has higher feeding
value than any of the other hay crops /.
The composition of alfalfa is about
the same as that of wheat bran. This
means that when alfalfa hay is fed
less grain will be required than when
other hay is used. Then again when
stand of Grimm alfalfa is secured
it will last for a good many years,
unelss some unusual condition should
occur, as being covered with sheet
Of ice.

falfa this year is, indeed, fortunate

to have an alfalfa field have expressed

FARM IMPORTATION SERVICE
N. D. EXPERIMENT STATION.
Seed Corn For Starting Over Again

The corn in many North Dakota
fields will not become mature enough
for seed. This will mean that these
farmers will have to start over again
with corn. Considerable time will be-
saved if the start is made with North
Dakota grown seed, rather than with
seed from further south. This means
big opportunity to those farmers
who are fortunate enough to have corn
mature. The more seed they save
the larger will be the acreage that
can be planted with North Dakota
grown seed next spring. There is
very little seed corn carried over so
that the price will be likely high.
This is case where one can do u
good service for his fellow men and
at the same time be well paid Cor it.
