Interesting Figures on
Agricultural Products

The farmer still has use for the null
duplication table, despite the ups and
downs In the agricultural situation,
according to some figures just issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. For example, the ont
put of skim milk powder has doubled
in the last five years; the number of
cow-testing associations has been
douh.ed in the last six years; the
quantity of Ice cream produced has
doubled in the last twelve years; and
creamery butter in fifteen years. If
whole-milk production continues at the
same rate as during the last FIVE years.
1t will double In twenty-three n a
half years and pure bred cattle. II
they continue to increase as in the
last two decades, will double In thirty
years. The population of the United
States comes next. having doubled in
the last thirty-nine years the number
of milk cows on farms has doubled
in the last forty-four years; factory
cheese production has doubled In for
ty-slx years; and the average yield of
milk per cow, If continued as in the
last five years, will double in sixty
years.

FARM
LIVE STOCK
Draft Work Horse Quite
Necessary on All Farms

OF recent years horse breeding n
gradually been abandoned on many
farms, with the natural result of a
serious decrease in horse stocks
throughout the country. Widespread
advertising of farm tractors and
trucks, high prices of feed and the
belief that cheap horses could readily
be obtained from the ranch country,
all have had their effect in lessening
horse-breeding activity. The automo
bile has practically driven the light
horse OFF the roads of the country, but
everywhere heavy horses, as hereto
fore, are doing the major part of the
work on farms and in the woods. while
many OF them are still being used
for short-haul work in the cities.
The time has come, in our opinion,
actively to resume the breeding OF
heavy draft horses for farm work pur.
poses, says a writer in Successful
Farmer. A recent investigation In
Illinois showed hat not over one
brood mare in five has of recent years
produced a foal. At that rate it will
take over y years to replace the
horses now in use in hat state, and
they are fast being retired on account
of old age, unsoundness, or other
causes. The same thing is true In
other great farming states.
O"cr 20.O0O,0OO horses and mules
are still needed for work purposes in
America in spite of the competition
of EARN tractors and trucks, and
should some deadly. infectious disease
run riot through the country, an in.
slant dearth of work horses will have
to be faced. Abandonment of horse
breeding is having a like but gradual
effect in that direction.
While horse-breeding operations
have practically been at n standstill
horses needed to replace those retired
for one reason or another have come
from the range country Of the west,
but high freight rates and prevailing
low prices nave about stopped the
source of supply. We now learn that
range horses are a drug on the mar
ket where they are raised. and are
being '~unloaded' as quickly as pos
sible. 1t Is even suggested that they
should be slaughtered to furnish
horse meat for sale in the cities. II
is also true that first-class, pure bred
draft stations never were so scarce
as at the present time.
Plainly. therefore, 1t will be neces.
sary ugain TO breed every sound, suit
able, individually excellent and eff,
cjent brood mare the coming spring
and zach Of them, 10 far rs possible,
should be mated with a high-class, pre-
potent pure bred stallion. Unless this
is done n famine of good work horses
Is bound to occur before long, and
prices in consequence threaten to be
probibitive.

Potatoes Foremost
Among Vegetables
Government Reports Show
Farmer How to Sell.

prepared by the United States Department,
of Agricultural
The potato is foremost In value
among our vegetables. 1t is the cher
money crop of large areas, nm impor-
tant staple in many others, and Is
grown for home supply and local mar
kets In almost every farming district.
The wise or unwise marketing Of the
potato crop may easily mean a differ
ence of millions of dollars In the farm
ers' income in a year, according to
the United States Department of Ag.
riculture. This Is particularly true
Of the late or main crop OF potatoes,
which comprises about four-ffths of
the total production.
Potato crop and market news sup
piled by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture includes crop and
market reports and summaries of many
kinds published at eight field stations
located in the prominent shipping sec
tons and at about a dozen market
stations, including the Washington Of
flee. These reports contain the nee.
essary facts of production. condition.
shipment. prices, demand, and quail
ity. BY perslstently using and COM
pairing reports from day to day and
season after season, they become more
and more useful in showing the potato
holder when, how. and where to sell.
The general condition and course Of
the market is best indicated by the
leading grades of the most important
commercial varieties in the largest
and most active markets. Among the
regular price developments to be
looked for in average seasons is a
comparatively low price at digging
time with some gain as shipments de-
crease or when winter conditions be-
gin, then several months of moderate
ups and downs, and then another
swing, upward or downward, with the
opening of spring activity. The pro-
portion of stocks held by dealers on
January l has often proved an indica-
ton of the course OF the late winter
and spring markets.

Cut Sweet Glover for
Seed With Self-Binder

Before harvesting sweet clover II Is
a good idea to take n cutting OF hay
first. Better seed and a shorter. finer
straw will result, which will OF course
result In less SCATTERING. Cut the
sweet clover for seed just as you
would oats with a self-binder. and cut
the crop just about the time that most
of the seed is showing black. There
is bound to be considerable shattering,
but II you use care In moving the crop
considerable SCATTERING will be avoid
ed. Cover the hay rack with n canvas
or a tarpaulin n you will be able to
ave what seed drops or In hauling
the straw and iced from the field.

Three Big Essentials
Make Poultry Success

Poultry success is founded on three
big essentials. Regardless Of the par
ticular speciality In poultry ~husbandry
which one engages in. there are three
hig factors that control the results.
The first is good stock. the second,
proper housing, and the third, correct
feeding. The three are of equal i'm
upon the other. Neglect of n means

and correctly fed will amount to little,
while on the other hand, good stock
improperly housed and fed becomes
equally poor. Adhere to all three es-
scntials, use common sense and sys-

which seemed to her to have filed this
strange, gay house for an eternity.
For the first time full awareness of
the present cut a rift in the troubled
cloudiness Of her introspection.
At once Prosper's hand laid down its
pencil and he turned about In his
chair and gave her a cleaning look
smile. Joan was fairly startled.
It was as II she had touched some
mysterious spring and turned on q daz-
cling, unexpected light. As a matter
Of fact, Prosper's heart had leapt at
her wistful and beseeching voice.
He had been biding his time. He
had absorbed himself in writing, con-
tent to leave in suspense the training
Of his enchanted le%opardess. Half
absent glimpses of her desolate beauty
as she moved about his winter-bound
house, contemplation Of her unself-
consciousness as she companioned his
meals, the pleasure he felt in her rapt
listening to his music in the still, FROST
held evenings by the f1re-these he
had made enough. They Quieted his
restlessness, soothed the ache of his
heart, filled him with a warm and pa
tient desire, different from any feel
ing he had yet experienced. He was
amused by her lack of interest In him.
She evidently accepted him as a su-
perior being. a Providence; he was not
a man at all, not of the same clay as
Pierre and herself. Prosper had wait
ed Understandings enough for her
first move. When the personal ques-
ton came, It made a sort of crash in
the expectant silence of his heart.
Before answering, except by that
smile, he lit himself a cigarette; then,
strolling to the fire, he sat on the rug
below her, drawing his knees up into
his hands.
"Fd like to tell you about my writ
ing, Joan. After all, it's the great in
