LIVE STOCK FAVORED
Better Soil and Greater Profits
Assured to Farmer.
Cattle and Diversification Are Essen
tiaI to Success in Farming Busi-
ness-Raise Wha* You Need
for Feeding.

To succeed in the farming business,
we must have cattle, hogs and chick
ems, grow corn, clover, alfalfa and
other legume crops adapted to our
soil.
If we grow several crops and one
fails, we will have another to depend
upon, but if we grow single crop and
for some reason it fails, our entire
years work is gone. Live stock and
Investigation mean the building up
Of the soil, and as the soil improves,
profits increase Diversification means
that we have more land in pasture.
Pastures prevent soil from washing.
Pastures should be maintained to keep
the soil from washing during the heavy
spring rains. Fields should not be al
owed to stand. from year to year, ex-
posed to the weather.
Live stock and diversification will
keep people on the farms. A man will
put up better buildings If he lives on
his farm than he will If it is occupied

by tenant. Live stock and diversifi-
cation mean "Raise what you feed and
feed what you raise on your own
farm" When you grow your crops,
and ship them away you are shipping
the fertility from the soil-mining it,
making it poor.
By having live stock there will be
returned to the land in the form of
manure 20 to 80 per cent of the soil
fertility taken out by the crops.
Humus, one of the things essential
to fertile soil, can be placed in the
soil by diversifying the crops and do
ing mixed farming. Live stock means
more manure on the farm and less
commercial fertilizer.
The corn belt states pay out mil
lions of dollars for commercial fer
tilizers every year.
Live on the farm. Build a home,
have good schools, good roads and pro-
ductive soils. Don't just have a
'piece of land" or a ''farm"-have a
home on the land and make it worth
living in.

BOsCHEE'S GERMAN
SYRUP
A Valued Household Remedy for
Over Half a Century.

In our climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature, rain, wind and
sunshine often intermingled in single
day, it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
in the house, and few doses taken in
time, will possibly prevent severe ILL
ness, doctors bill, and perhaps death.
For fifty years this has been a very
successful remedy for coughs, colds,
throat or lung troubles. 1t induces a
good nights sleep with easy expec-
toration in the morning. For sale by
druggists in all parts of the civilized
world, 25 and IS cent bottles.-Adv.

CUTTING ALFALFA FOR HAY
AS Rule, Proper Time Is When Young
Shoots First Appear at the Bases
of the Young Plants.

In general, alfalfa should be cut for
hay when the young shoots at the
bases of the plants first appear. If
these new shoots become long enough
to be cut off by the mower, the new
crop may be badly damaged.
The blossoms often appear stimuli
taneously with the new young shoots,
but blossoms alone are not a safe
guide to the time for cutting.

LUBRIcATIoM is BIG POINT
Use of Best Grade of Oil in Handling
Tractor Is Most Economical
Renew Every Week.

(By L. w. CHASE, Nebraska Experiment
Station.)
Proper fabrication is one of the most
important points in handling the trac-
tor successfully. The best grade of
oil will be found to be cheaper than
poorer grades, especially in the case
of oil used in the motor.
If the engine uses a splash system,
it is good practice to drain the oil
out of the crank case at least once a
week and replace it with new oil. The
old oil may be used for other parts
of the machine. The above sugges-
tions are especially important if kero-
sene is used as fuel.

PROTEIN REQUIRED BY HENS

Corn Is Carbohydrate.

Protein is needed for bone, muscle

scarcest In the vegetable world. Wheat

share Of 1t mingled with a variety of
other elements; sats has some, but

Possible Coalition

Some members of both of the old par
ties would not be surprised to see a Goa
ltion agreement entered into before
April 16 and the slate carried through
with a rush before the end of the first
day. Success of the bipartisan proposal
will depend in a great measure on the
international situation five weeks hence
and gaps which may be caused in the
ranks Of the big parties by illness Or
death. Neither side proposed to permit
weeks of wearsome and useless ballot
ing for speaker to tie up important gov
eminent business.
Despite the growing talk Of coalition.
the five independents insist that they
will not acquiesce quietly to wishes OF
big party leaders. BY agreement none
of the independents will pledge himself
to any candidate for speaker until all
have met here again about April and
discussed the situation. They are now at
their homes.

sion relieved the uncertainty of more
