is FARM PRODUCING
FOODS FOR FAMILY?
One of Important Factors Deter
mining Amount of Income.
Garden and Live Stock Are Usually
Cared for at Times That Do Not
Materially Interfere With
Regular Farm Work.

Is the farm producing such of the
family foods as are adapted to local
conditions in ample quantities for the
welfare of the family?
The value of the family living fur
nished directly from the farm is one OF
the important factors determining the
amount Of the income of the farm and
the degree to which the farm business
IS safe and profitable, says the United
State department of agriculture. This
is especially true of the smaller farms.
The garden and live stock which
supply the larger part Of the family
food are usually cared for at times
that interfere comparatively little with
the regular farm commercial enter
prises, and by labor which otherwise
would not be utilized. Further, it has
been found that, up to considerable
size Of farm business, when the fam
lily food is produced on the farm, this
item. plus the fuel and shelter fur
nished by the farm. amount to an
equivalent Of the rent for the entire
farm or interest on the whole farm
investment.

President Of Michigan Association
Wants Every Farmer to Agree to
Use Only Purehreds.

st. Joseph county, Mich, plans to

In three years. Current activities to
accomplish the purpose are described
by William T. Langley. president Of
the St. Joseph County Live Stock
Breeders association, in a statement
he has furnished the United States
department of agriculture.
''We want every man," he declares,
''to give US a pledge to use nothing
but purebred sires.
1--WE have a sign in the making that
reads 'Purebred Sire Farm that we
want posted on every farmyard gate.
''We want nothing but high-grade
and purebred females"
A general association has been or
ganized that includes the members of

STEER-FEEDlNG EXPERIMENT
cottonseed Meal and Velvet Beans
Used With and Without Add
ton of SheIIed Corn.

In a steer-feeding experiment con-
Quoted last year on the government
farm at Beltsville, Md, four lots of
two-year-old steers were fed. The pur-
pose was to compare cottonseed meal
and soaked velvet beans when used
with and without the addition of
shelled corn.
The addition of corn to a ration
composed of corn silage, cOttOnseed
meal and wheat straw did not pay.
The addition of corn to the ration Of
velvet beans and corn Silage was
profitable.
The lot receiving corn silage and
soaked velvet beans with small guam
tfty of cottonseed meal as an appe-
tier produced the most economical
gains and showed the greatest profit,
even though the daily gains and the
selling price of the cattle were lower
than those of any OF the other lots.

BEEF ANIMAL FOR HOME USE
Improbable Cow or Heifer That Does
Not Promise to Be Good Pro
Queer May Be Killed.

The farmer buys more beef than he
takes from the farm. Only about 10
per cent Of meat furnished by the av-
erage farm is beef. In the North and
West the average consumption Of beef
per family is nearly 800 pounds and
In the South it is less than 100 pounds.
The beef animal killed for home
use, suggest specialists OF the United
States department Of agriculture, may
be beef steer or an improbable COW,
or heifer that does not promise to
be a good producer and would not
bring a good price for beef on the
market. Very little veal is killed on

FARM
POULTRY
R00ST WILL DESTROY MITES
Plan Outlined for Completely Clear
ing Poultry House Of All Thirsty
BIood-Suckers.

One successful way to rid poultry
houses OF mites is to use a rOOSting
pole that will harbor them during the
day, so that it can be soaked with hot
water to destroy them. The rOOst
shown provides a place on the under
side where they may hide. II consists
Of s lath held under the rOOst with
small nails to make the hiding place
inviting for them. You simply lift
the rOost from the holders. slightly
loosen the pieces Of lath. and pour
boiling water between the lath and
the roosts. This will kill all vermin
and destroy any eggs that may be
there. The roosts will quickly dry If
the water Is hot.
In this way a poultry house can be
completely cleared Of all bIoOd-suckers

PREMIUM FOR GRADED EGGS
Fact Is Due to Strict Grading Prae-
tieed by Shippers of Far West,
Say Specialists.

Eggs from the Pacific coast IN large
amounts were first shipped across the
continent to the New York city market
two years ago. Now they are bringing
a premium OF from 1 to cents. ac-
cordIng to market quotations.
That this is due to the strict grading
practiced by the shippers Of the far
West Is the belief of men in the bu-
reau of markets. United States depart
ment of agriculture. The reputation
for careful grading which the Western
ers have attained in other products
shipped East has spread to include
eggs.
