The question which Ii upperrnost in
the minds Of our farmers today Is how
to balance their system Of farming.
In other words can our farming systsm
be SO planned that we may raise two
or more merchantable products during
the year. The business farmer seek
ing to enhance his annual INCOME,
through years Of experience has found
1t unwise to attempt carrying all his
eggs In one basket. The one crop
farmer who produces tobacco. cotton
or sweet potatoes has had the result
Of his toll spilled too often Of recent
years by depressed market conditions.
While many Of our livestock farmers
are in one sense one crop farmers, yet
In surveying the situation In Tennes-
see we find them universally In better
condition than the cotton, tobacco or
potato farmer. After all he has met
reverse market conditions cheerfully.
However, 1t must be borne In mind
that the financial loss Of the livestock
farmer in the production of CONNER
clal cattle has been extremely great.
In determining the kind and type
of farming In which one desires tc
become engaged there are many things
to be considered. A "safe and saRe."
or as quoted above a well balanced
farming system should be held In mind.
Primarily, sell fertility represents thu

mon to Tennessee. The kind Of crop
depends somewhat on the section OF
the state. In West Tennessee cotton
or potatoes could be worked In. In
some sections Of Middle and East Ten
nessee. tobacco would be most logical
With a due amount OF study as to his
farm conditions and the opportunity
to consult an authority at the expert
ment station the Tennessee farmer
should be able to work the crops
named into q systematic and thorough
workable rotation. The object of the
livestock farmer should be to produce
largely the ration used In the matur-
Ing of his csttls II he would finish his
cattle cheaply. Economy in ration
must be held In mind. Sllage, legume
hay, straw produced by oats will fur
nish tfe roughage. With the proper
knowledge Of the relative feeding
value Of the above named concentrates
and roughages nutritious and eco
Domical ration may be WORKED out.
The livestock farmer must also be
mindful Of necessary equipment.
Fences should be constructed substan-
TALLY of good material and not at too
great expense. The cattle barn should
be located on an elevation, with good
drainage and as mnch OF south east
erly exposure as possible to secure.
The proximity of that portion of the
barn to be devoted to crops should be
kept in mind in selecting barn sight.
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1921-04-01

Thereby, the distance In hauling feed
Is shortened and the fields are easily
accessible In returning the manure
Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the latter clause. Manure is one
Of the valuable assets to the farming
system of the state In maintaining
soil fertility.
The barn should be- so constructed
that II will provide ample space for
the storing OF feed and the housing,
Of cattle. The farmer must be- mind
full that 1t is economy In time and ex-
pense to provide storage for both crops
and livestock under one roof. The
feed room should be located In the
barn with space for the storage Of con-
centrates and mixing Of feed. Water
should also be easily accessible. A.

markets In years past.

Through the agricultural press as well

farmer should ascertain the extent Of
supply and demand foe meat not only
ON his home market but also on that Of
other sections. This enables him to
determine Just what markets TO ship

Much knowledge must be acquired
Of pastures and pasture building; the

No farmer, particularly In Middle and

TIE provision for ample watering ia

The acreage set aside for cropping
