FALL FRESHENING Is URGED
Calves Are More Easily Raised and
Cows Will Give More Milk
Farmer Has More Time.

The man who had his dairy cows
freshen this fall is thanking his lucky
stars that most of his work is COM
ing when he has most time to do it
and when dairy products bring high
er price. Men who have had expert
ence with both spring and fall fresh
eners will argue that fall freshening
is better because of the two advan-
tages given here and because the
calves are more easily raised and the
cows in the course of year will give
more milk. Spring freshening has
hut few advantages despite the fact
that it is the rule. The main part of
the work comes during the summer,
when one is busy in the field and flies
annoy both cows and mixer. Fall
fresheners go dry in July and August.
the time of year when milking cows
is ANYTHING but pleasant

GIVE CHICKENS EARLY FEED
Excellent Plan to Have Some Grain
Scattered in Litter Ready for
Their Breakfast.

If there is a reasonable amount of
litter on the floor and the house is rat
proof, it is a practical plan TO feed so
that there will be some grain left in
the litter overnight. This will be an
inducement to the hens to get to work
as soon as it is daylight. That's one
practical and inexpensive method of
prolonging the day. AS rule. hens
like to go to the perches rather early
in the evening on cold days, but they
will be down at dawn if they know
that they will find something to eat.
See to it that some grain is there in
the litter ready for them. This is an
easier and pleasanter method than
getting around to do the feeding he
fore daylight If the hens loaf on the
perches until broad daylight one of
two things is wrong: Either the
house is too dark or the hens are over
fed. Either condition is readily cor
rected and it will be dollars in your
pocket to do so.

ANALYSIS OF FARM BUSINESS
Extensive Studies Have Been Con-
Quoted by Department of Agricul-
ture During Past Year

In order to put at the disposal of
farmers information which will en-
able them to place their farming OPP
erations on more businesslike basis,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has conducted extensive
studies in farm business analysis. Dur
ing the last year 400 records were OBJ
tanned in farm business analysis sur
veys on two general crop and live
stock areas in Iowa 300 on fruit and
truck area in Florida, 1856 on gen
eral farming area in New Hampshire,
so on q similar area in Ohio, 100 on
a cooperative tractor and farm or
ganization study in two areas in Ohio.
Several of these surveys have been in
progress for a number Of years.
Similar studies on specialized types
of farming are being made in co-opera-
ton with state agriculture colleges.
In Kentucky the tobacco, crop on 70
farms in each Of two areas has been
intensively studied, with a complete

Careful inspection of All Implements

prepared by the United States Depart

Much of the loss and annoyance
caused by breakage of farm equipment
may be avoided by careful inspection
and repair of weak parts before the
seasons rush begins.
The proper time for making repairs
is during the winter and at times
when the regular farm work Is not
urgent, specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture say.
AS the season advances, implements
which will be needed for the next
farming operations should be gone over
and given any attention required to
make them ready for immediate use.
If the farm machinery is not properly
housed during periods of disuse, it is
all the more important that it should
be given a careful overhauling, At

quent applications of dark metallic
paint, consisting either of red lead or
venetian red and raw linseed oil, not
only improve the appearance of farm
implements, but add greatly to their
durability.
This is an age when appearances
count, and farmers standing in the
community frequently is governed by
the appearance of his farm equipment.
The man who spends his spare mo-
gates and maintaining a neat appear
ance of the entire farm has a better
chance of becoming a leader in his
community than the man whose farm

TRAILS ABOUND IN ROMANCE
Triumphs of the Men Who

Nothing is more romantic than the
trail, remarks a writer in the Los An

and life itself. On land it moves about
the bases of the mountains, out of the
lowlands, winding through the chapar-
raj, along the easy grades of the can
yons, never forcing its way, but def
nitely avoiding the slippery rock face
and the poison oak; upward into the
fresh air that breathes through the
pass; on, through the pass and into
the unknown beyond, into the valley of
hearts desire it carries the laden mule
and the traveller with his pack.
Across the great deserts the trail is
a caravan route, seeking the shades Of
cliff and avoiding the shifting dunes :;
stretching unerringly toward the next
water hole. 1t is the written testimo-
NAL of the trails and triumphs of the
men who have gone before 1t is the
only pathway of the devout pilgrim. as

ton of man that has ever dominated
one of these great trails has made his
tory and has been in its day a treasure
house.

PerpIexed by Losses.
He was right about his farm sys-
Jimmy, in his own quiet way, had real
lied long ago that a business which
required from IA to 16 hours of steady
effort daily, should pay more than he
received as his share of the farm
profits. He had INDUCED in all sorts
the mental gymnastics in an effort to
locate the trouble, but had never
reached a sound conclusion. He knew
that certain crops produced a profit,
while others probably involved a. loss.
How was one to know one from the
other; the difference between poor
farm practice and good farm prac-
tice?
He found the solution in a bulletin
which came to him from the United
States Department of Agri :ulture. "a
Method of Analysing the Farm Bust
ness" was its title, and Jimmy real
lied, after a glance at the pages, that
he had the secret of success so far as
the Henderson farm was concerned.
He devoted a good many evenings to
studying the bulletin, then finally
sought the elder Henderson on the
farmhouse veranda one night and sur
prised him by remarking that their
farm system was as full of, holes as
an old boot. Once Launched upon the
subject the young man displayed an
interest that caused his father to set

content.

1t is never good policy TO wash eggs

chicken lice. Arsenic trioxid is too
poisonous, barium fluorid, cloves, saba
dilla seeds and paradichlorobenzene
are too expensive, or not readily avail
able in large quantities; napthalene
is dangerous if applied too freely, and
barium tetrasulphid does not kill all
the lice. Sodium fluorid is the most
practical remedy given in this list.
The materials listed below were
found to be of no value against chick

Eyes, sir! We've been paying Jack
good wages the year around just SO
we'd be sure we had him for the sum-
mer's work. We've lost most of his la
Dor income during the winter months.
Our dairy is small. If we build up
larger dairy 1t will give US an oppor-
tunity not only to employ Jacks la
Dor at profit in the winter season,
but it will also use up some of our eX-
cess horse labor. Similarly we can
plan crops that will require more
horse work and less man work. The
fundamental information we need has
already been obtained for US by the
Department of Agriculture, and good
bit of 1t is in this bulletin.
They've studied large number of
farms and calculated to average so
farmer can tell more accurately just
the amount of labor he will need tC
plant, cultivate and harvest any par.
ticular crop. For instance, one cut.
ting of hay on the average farm re-
Quires a 10-hour day for one man and
one horse for each acre. Corn for the
silo costs three days of man labor and
FIVE and one-half of horse work. Po-
tatoes will use up eleven ten-hOur days
of man work to the acre and ten
horse days. According to these tables
vegetables require much more man
labor than horse work. Onions, for in
stance, need 400 hours of work by
man and only 100 hours by horse
to the acre.
Basis for Estimates.
Naturally, these figures will not fit
every farm-they're average estimates
but they will furnish a basis from
which any farmer can make his own
calculations. The specialists say that

ducing farm profits. He paused.
