over this country are due to the
improved methods employed by
the farmers.
There is large and sufficient
evidence to show that agricul-
ture has made rapid, sure,
and substantial advance. If
that is true. then agriculture
will not readily revert.
Farmers Employ Better Busi.
ness Methods.
AT no time has the farmer
been called upon to give great
er attention to the business
side of his operations. In this
day of high priced land, labor
seed. fertilizers. machinery
and other materials and equip
ment. careful attention must
be given to economical prOduc
ton. Industrial plants have
found it necessary to introduce
the cost-accOunting system in
order that the cost of each part
manufactured may be deter
mined. In the same way, far
mers must conduct their bust
ness and know more definitely
the desirable and profitable
lines of productions.
Not every farmer has j
within his power to increas
his acreage. but he can ver}'
materially increase his income
by judiciously increasing tn"
size of his business. There is
one way of doing this tina
seems to be open to farmers
in practically all parts of the
country. The farm-manage-
ment studies conducted by tho
Department of Agriculture
bring out the fact the simples;
and surest way for the land
locked farmer to make NOR
money is to produce more and
better live stock. There is BIZ,
limited opportunity for expan-
sion in the production of tn
intensively grown crops. blt
there is great opportunity fo-
expansion in the production O
all classes of live stock.

farms kept the most live stock
averaging 62 animal units
(that is, fullgrown cattle or
their equivalent in smaller ami
mals.) Sixteen farms made an
average labor income of S475
These farms kept live stock
averaging 10 animal units per

average labor income of but
$18. Not one of these farms
kept more than Is animal

Dividing these farms into
three groups according to the
number of animals to an acre
the same tendency is shown,
The more heavily stocked the
farm, the larger labor income.

and sold after their pigs have
been weaned. The pigs, put on
full feed on self feeders, are
sold when from six to seven

bought to hog down the corn

rive in Siberia in time to aid in his
recovery.
