The wise selection of q farm is vital
to the success and satisfaction of farm
life. Choosing q farm often means
choosing place In which to live and
work for lifetime. tits important,
Of course, to decide wisely in buying for
Investment, says the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, but in making
a selection for a home it Is doubly
Important to consider earious features
that may have decided bearing on
the farm business or that may make
the home life attractive.
Home and Business inseparabIe.
The home side Of the question must
always be kept In mind, for the farm
home and the farm business are In
separable. The desirable farm from a
business standpoint many times is
found undesirable If 1t has no social
OF community advantages. On the
other hand, desirable living conditions
are of little or no advantage unless
supplemented by a successful farm
business.
In selecting farm 1t should be
borne in mind that it requires farm
business Of considerable size to pro-
vide an income that will merely cover
maintenance charges, and that these
charges are relatively larger for small
farms than for large ones. A farm
must be Of such size as to furnish
most Of the supplies needed in the
farmers living, such as garden and
fruit, and enough income to pay the
taxes and running expenses. Unless,
however, there is a margin above these
annual maintenance charges no prog
ress can be made toward accumulat-
ing surplus.
Another feature which the farm
seeker should see to is that prospects
for crop yields are more than sufficient
to balance the cost Of production.
Soils of low fertility are handicapped
some are found to be positive liability
IL 1t is necessary to farm them. 1t is
well to inquire thoroughly into crop
yields, not only those that have been
obtained on the farm itself for period
Of years but those realized on adjacent
farms.
Equally essential to the success Of
the farm business is high quality of
the live stock enterprise. To handle
live stock SO it will pay for feed, care,
and labor is more than a mere matter
Of management, for it is dependent

which are partly black, to occur in
practically all strains of this variety.
but this is not a sign Of impure breed.
Ing. Black spots are also common
occurrences on the shanks, particularly
In females, but this does not indicate
impurity. There Is decided tendency
for the males of this variety to come
lighter in color than the females, and
for this reason breeders are usually
obliged to resort to two separate mat
ings, one for the production Of males
Of standard color and the other for
the production Of females Of standard
color. The system Of dodble mating,
Of course, complexities the problem Of
producing high-class Barred Plymouth
Rocks
In mating for males of exhibition
color male of about standard color
Is used with medium dark females, or
those two or three shades darker
than females Of exhibition color, in
which the barring is as distinct and
as narrow as possible. This mating is
known as the cockerel mating because
it produces greater percentage of
standard-colored males, while the
females produced are too dark, but
are suitable for continuing this line
Of breeding. In mating for females
Of standard color, females Of about the
desired color are used with a medium
light male or one that Is two or three
shades lighter than standard and with
good barring. This is known as the
pullet mating, because 1t produces a
greater percentage of females Of the
proper color, while the males are too
light but good for carrying on this line
Of breeding.
Those who produce standard Barred
Plymouth Rocks, therefore, must have
what amounts to two separate flocks
In order to keep their exhibition birds
uniform. The average farmer however,
does not usually exhibit or sell breed
ing stock and will still continue to
make single mating as he has always
done.

The Barred Plymouth Rock, the most
popular breed Of poultry on the farms,
and therefore the most numerous Of
the many now raised In the country,
has a popularity from which arises
special breeding problems. This Is the
plumage marking Of dark and light
bars that has been known for so long
and which makes it almost essential
to make two separate matings to get
standard color in both the males and
the females.
The alternating dark and light bars
give blush cast or shade to the
general color, which should be even
throughout the surface. 1t is common
for solid black feathers. or feathers

Crop land, in itself. is Of little value
unless It Ia so situated that it can be
made to yield profitable returns
through the use Of labor and
machinery. A farm Of 100 acres,

the land can be put to some profitable
use, than another farm Of 100 acres,

Another factor is ease Of cultivation.
