why IS THE FARM
NOT UP TO TIMES

There are four main essentials that
contribute to the comfort and well
being Of a farmers family and that
are necessary parts of the modern
farm. Grouped in the order in which
they might we'll be installed these
are: u) the simple water system,
supplying cold, or hot and cold water
in the kitchen; (2) the house heating
plant; (3) the complete water system.
with a means Of sewage disposal, and
az the light and power system.
The simple water system Is listed
first because we feel that water in
the home will give more happiness
and comfort to the farm family with
the least outlay Of money. Since the
farmers income Is small It is impos-
sible for many to modernize their
homes completely at this time, but
many could install simple water
system and improve this system at a
later date.
A water supply system is no longer
considered luxury, but rather a nec-
essity. The farmer can no longer af-
ford to do his work with the equip
ment of 100 years ago. It is right,
then, that his partner in business
should not be expected to do her part
with the limited equipment of the
past. With but a small part Of the
money spent for farming equipment

GOOD RESULT TRAPPING

friends as Frasier, was in town to-
day calling on the Sheriff to collect
a state bounty on SO coyotes and six
lynx which he had trapped and shot
during the summer months. AS there
is state bounty Of two dollars and
fifty cents on each Mr.. Frasier will
receive $147.50 from the state. The

COOPERATIVE
ASSOCIATIONS
DAIRY FARMERS CAN HAVE GOOD
PUREBRED SIRES AT
Low COST. NE

That the need of purebred bulls is
urgent in many parts of the country
is evident from the facts brought out
by the United States Department of
Agriculture's study of eight districts
in the States of Iowa, Minnesota, and
Massachusetts, in which theret were
no bull associations. In this survey
information was obtained regarding
1919 farmers owning SIT bulls. whose
average value was $76. Had the far
mers of these cheap pulls been prop
erly organized the same investment
would have purchased the necessary
bulls Of an average value of 1888. On
the farms mentioned nearly four
tines as many bulls were used as
would have been required under pro-
per organization. The farmers were
therefore feeding four bulls when
they should have been feeding only
one.
Data from one Of the first associa-
|tions organized under the direction of
the Department of Agriculture illus
trate this very we'll. Before the as
sociation was formed the bulls IN use
had an average market value Of $50.
The average price paid by the lsso-
citation for registered bulls was $240.
Price does not always correspond to
value, yet as the bulls were carefully
selected the price in this case is
doubtless a fair index Of true worth.
In this association each farmers in
vestment for a share in good regis
tered bull was $14 less than his for
mer investment in an animal Of Infer
