FROM the experiences of the past
two years the American farmer mas
learned tllat he must keep an acurate
account of his farming costs. The
farmer has been running his farm
much the same way as the old-time
merchant in the country cross-road
store, without any record Of his re-
ceipts or his expenditures, and with
out any idea of his losses. Business
competition, business training and &C.
onomic changes have forced the bust
ness man to keep an accurate record of
his business, to enable him to tell Just
what HIS years business has cost him,
what line has failed to pay. what line
has Melted him the largest profits and
numerous other details necessary for
success. Now the time has come when
the American farmer must do the same
Competition, high priced land, and
1luctuating markets have forced the
farmer to place his business on a strict
~ business basis. The first step is to
keep m accurate record of receipts and
expenditures. Figures in black and
white often show astonishing results
and many q farmer will find that he
has been raising his product at a great
er expenditure than he thot for. Dur
ing the spring of 1920, the farmer
planted high-priced seed, he hired high
priced help to make ready and plant
his fields, and the harvest added more
to his costs j. Staticians who gathered

TIME TO PURCHASE FEEDERS
No Hard and Fast Rule for Farmer 70
q ey-cattIs Ars Higher h
Spring Than In Fall.

Sim Bakers right leg was In tenn
porary retirement under layer Of
arnica-soaked bandages. He regarded
the injured member with CLINT Of
rueful humor and spake thus to q
neighbor who had dropped in for a
chat with the cheerful invalid.
"Bert, tell me somethin. How can
Teller tell when mean white mule
named Anarchy is .goin'' to kick2
him any good3"
"Human knowledge goes no further
than to say that a white mule is al
ways g0in' to kick. Is that the an
swer? Then let me ask you Ques-
ton: How do you know whether to
buy your feeder steers in the fall
or in the spring? Do you make any
thing by feeding them in the winter
and will you make more II you let the
other Teller feed 'em through? They
cost more in the spring than In the
fall. Is there any way to be certainT
Sim admitted that the thing was
past his comprehension and confessed
that he sometimes did the thing one
way and sometimes the other, but that
he never knew just how he was com
ing out
In reality, as to the time to buy
stockers or feeders. there is no hard
and fast rule. The usual time is in
the fall when they must leave the
grazing areas and go where feeds
have been harvested or stored for cat
tie feeding. However. with falling
market, which no one can foretell with
any degree OF certainty, the cattle
may not be worth enough more in the
spring to pay for the winter feeding.
Yet they have been kept largely on
feed for which there is no other mar
ket.
Consequently, what Sim and his
neighbor should know Is how much it
costs to keep stockers through the
winter on various rations. how they
lose or gain weight, and how they
gain through the summer as result
of the way they have been wintered.
Being Ia better position to carry on
feeding experiments to answer these
questions than the cattlemen, the bu-
reau of animal industry, cooperating
with the West Virginia experiment
station, conducted a series of feeding
tests in Greenbrier county, West vlr-
ginia. The experiments began De

Labor OF Watering Stock Can Be Prao-

during the times they are confined to
their stalls. depending on the work

need water and requiring much of the
mans valuable time in watering the
stock
The labor of watering the stock can
be practically eliminated and ut the
same time the milk production of the
COW increased by installing sanitary
automatic watering bowls.
Most dairy farmers realize the i'm
pOrtance of an abundance of pure wa
ter for the cow, but do not realize the
cost of labor consumed in watering
the COW, nor the Importance of the
COW getting her drink just when she
wants It, says Dairy Farmer.
About 81 per cent of the milk is
water. A COW requires 8 gallons of
water to produce 10 gallons of milk,
besides the water she needs for her
body. She requires 2a pounds of wa
ter for each pound of milk produced.
Why supply high-priced feed to in
crease milk production and neglect to
give her sufficient water?

II Aella had not SO much more than

furious. There had been a fued, po-

Joey could be made to believe she had
snatched Billy brand from the Mella
burning. There Mella giggled and
went off for spin in her small cleo
tric, taking Billy along, and ostenta'
tiously passing three times by the
Dancy place. And at the psychological
moment in Passage Three she refused
Billy for the fatal third time. When
he asked: do you mean it; cross
your hearth she nodded mournfully,
whispering more mournfully: II have
no heart Billy. "A bad, bad man has
taken it-and run away" Then some
how, as women will, she shed Billy
upon the Dancy piazza and whirled
triumphantly away, but not until she
had said privily to him: II ought not
to tell-but Joey loves you dearly. 1t
would make me mighty happy to see
you happy with her."
So she was not surprised when Billy
