DEVASTATION FARM
EXPERIENCE SHOWS WHAT CAN
BE ACCOMPLISHED ON AVER
AGE FARM. q"

In connection with the sale of the
Sam Hammerbeck farm, the following
will be of interest to number of peo-
pie:
This farm has been run as a. demon
stration farm in cooperation with the
University Extension department for
i've years, the term expiring August Is.
The purpose Of this demonstration
work has been to gather statistics for
the state. The statistics are intended
to show what is possible to accomplish
on the average farm by the average
farmer, who uses reasonable methods in
his farm work, keeps a. cash account
and weighs and tests the milk from his
cows.
Rotation is practiced as far as sea-
sons and rainfalls permit.
Using the tuberculin test for the
milch cows and observing sanitation in
the dairy barn, is one of the essentials.
The demonstration work must not be
confused with experimental work.
The state does not pay any money
for this work either for labor or for
buildings. The only benefit derived
by the co-operator is the free advice
and possible beneficial result from such
advice from the university extension
division.
The demonstration farm contains 200
acres and is located two miles south of
Little Falls. As result of this work
the farm is in a high STATE Of fertility
and production.
A large barn was built last year and
the most modern methods were used in
building this comfortable, sanitary,
labor-saving structure. COWS are fed
regularly, using corn silage as the main
feed in the winter.
Twenty cows are MIXED at present.
The gross receipts from this farm for
1918 were $3467.10. This years re-
ceipts will be over $4,000 Of which
dairy sales will aggregate $4,000, bal
ance from wheat, hay, hogs, etc.
Besides producing an investment of
5sper cent, $2,244.32 was the net labor
income to the owner.
