A Good-Sized Profitable Litter. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The pig's place on the farm cannot be filled by any other animal. He is not only profitable when grown as a crop in himself, but some very im portant places filled by him come from his ability to make use of feeds that would otherwise be lost. Thus he saves waste and utilizes materials around the farm which only he can use and converts these into a market able product and cash. The pig is known as the "mortgage-lifter," and this appellation is certainly well deo served. Because of the pig's ability to util ize the grain droppings from steers, the pig often makes steer-feeding op erations profitable that would not prove so without his aid. Mumford reports in a summary of ten different experiments that the gains made by pigs fed following steers paid from 0.94 per cent to 16.67 per cent of the feed given the steers. These pigs were thrifty shotes and did not receive ad ditional feed. Considering the relative economy of the different kinds of live stock, the pig takes a place among the most eco nomical. For the whole fattening pe riod the ox requires 1,109 pounds of dry feed to produce 100 pounds gain; the sheep, 912 pounds, and the pig, 420 pounds. Among the claoses of farm animals the pig ranks second as a producer of human food from a given amount of digestible matter consumed. The milch cow leads in her power to convert crops of the field into human food, with the pig second, poultry following, and the steer and sheep coming low est. Feeding pigs on the farm has an other value, and that is in relation to soil fertility. The man who feeds his grain to pigs sells a very small Hogging Down Corn. amount of fertilizing elements off of the farm as compared with the one who sells grain. Furthermore, in us ing forage or pasture crops the value of the manure scattered over the field is considerable. Swine farming, like other branches of live-stock farming, gives employ ment to labor during the entire year, and enables the farmer to keep hired labor throughout the year and does not congest it at harvest time. The hog is the only farm animal that can safely harvest the corn crop, and this practice is gaining ground from year to year among the most progressive farmers, resulting in no little saving of labor to the breeder who grows his own corn. Keep Garden Soil Busy. Even the smallest backyard may be made to yield a supply of fresh vege tables for the family table at but CONSTRUCTION OF NEST BOX In Cold Climates It Must Be Tight and Warm Enough to Keep Lay ing Hens Comfortable. Where poultry houses are too small to accommodate all the fixtures com fortably, some poultrymen practice the plan of having the nest boxes out side of the partition wall. The nest box is made 15 inches wide and the same in height and as long as desired. Partitions are placed to allow 12 to 15 inches for each nest, according to the size of the breed kept. The nest box is attached .to the outside of the house with strong hooks and screw eyes. The cover is hinged, and fitted with a pitch sufficient to shed water, and is covered with roofing paper. In cold climates the entire construe tion of the nest box must be tight and warm enough to keep the laying hens comfortably when on the nest. In hot weather the nest box cover can be slightly elevated to afford a ventila tlon. In some cases this plan of neat box is quite a convenience as well uas a saving of room. as the eggs can be gathered outside the poultry house. Test Show Money-Makers. The testing of cows shows the money-makers. It affords an oppor tunity to spot the loafers and elimi nate them from the herd. No mer chant who is succssfutal will handle a line of goods on which he loses money; therefore no progressive dairyman will milk a cow on whih he doas nt mahke a profiL slight expense if two or three crops are successively grown to keep the p1 area occupied all the time. People who would discharge a clerk if he did he not work the year round will often cal- at tivate a garden at no little trouble and expense and then allow the soil to lie tb idle from the time the first crop ma-" i w tures until the end of the season. Where a two or three crop system is th used in connection with vegetables pt adapted to small areas, a space no larger than 25 by 70 feet will produce to enough fresh vegetables for a small pl family. Corn, melons, cucumbers and potatoes and other crops which re- ti quire a large area should not be grown tb in a garden of this size. Half an acre properly cultivated with a careful crop ti rotation may easily produce $100 es worth of various garden crops in a year. ti When to Work Soil. fr If the garden was not broken in the fall it should be plowed in the spring is as soon as the frost is out of the e ground. Small areas may be worked with a spade, pushing the blade in to o0 its full depth and turning the soil w to break up the clods. Heavy soils should never be worked when wet. w Overzealous gardeners, ready to seize 01 the first warm spell as a favorable op. ll portunity to go out Ad work the heavy clay soil before it is dry, are t ot only wasting their energy, but are w doing a damage to the soil from which bi it will take years for it to recover. To determine when heavy soils are hb ready for plowing a handful of earth 1 should be collected from the surface and the fingers tightly closed on it. If the ball of compacted earth is 51 dry enough for cultivation it will fall fl apart when the hand is opened. e How to Fertilize. it The soil in the average backyard al is not only lacking in plant food, but 81 also has been packed until it is hard ti and unyielding. To loosen up such soil and make it suitable for garden F produce requires that careful atten tion be given to its preparation. After spading the inclosure thoroughly, the upper three inches should be made fine with the use of hoe and rake. Stones and rubbish should be removed and clods of dirt broken. The surface should be marked off for planting in conformity with the general plan of i the garden. Barnyard or stable manure is the best fertilizer because it furnishes both plant food and humus. An appli cation at the rate of from 20 to 30 tons to the acre of well rotted manure is I very satisfactory. This should be ap. plied after plowing or worked with a al spade, and distributed evenly over ai the surface and later worked in with a hoe or rake. On many soils it is ad visable to apply commercial fertilizer, especially phosphate, in addition to the manure. An application .of 300 to f 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the w e acre is usually sufficient. If addition . al potash is needed, which is often the s case with sandy soils, this may be eco i nomically supplied in the form of wood ashes. If the wood ashes are un s leached they should be distributed f5 over the garden, using 1,000 pounds to the acre. If they have been wet, or si I leached, 2,000 pounds should be used. s An application of 100 pounds to the n e acre of nitrate of soda may be used in n the spring to start the plants before dl s nitrogen in the manure has become P r available. It should be borne in mind s that commercial fertilizers will not f yield good results unless the soil is s well supplied with humus. Sod or other vegetation which has overgrown g a garden spot may be used to advan- P s tage. It should be turned under with 8' º a plow or a spade and will aid in light t ening the soil and providing humus.

' FARM PROSPERITY IN SOUTH r No Nation in Quite So Advantageous Position to Furnish Necessities as United States. The South is beginning to vision I 0 something of its trem6ndous oppor t tunities.

Some- I a one must furnish these necessities,( and no nation has quite so advant-r geous a position in this respect as the i- United States.

S I I PLAN FOR SAIE CO-OPERATION In Meet item Objeet is Palg Out Ratqr Tihe Takisg in Money -A-m to k3nd UFp (y U L NBLION, AsWtaat Secretary soi tae seard of Aweulture.) We hear much as to the need of eo operation ia the country. In most In stances it seems that this proposed co operation too often has for Its object the paying out rather than the taking in of money-buying instead of selling. It may not be Impertinent to ask whether this Isn't tackling the problem in the wrong place? True, there may be need of co-op erative buying, but not infrequently this means in the minds of the promo ters the organisation of one business to besat down another. In the end it may be that the promoters of the plan indirectly suffer because of the loss which has come in a quarter where they little suspected that they had any interest. For example, the easiest, often the crudest and not infrequently the least necessary form of cooperation among rural people-consists in joining to gether to purchase in quantities goods which are sold at the nearest trading point The local merchant may not even so much as be invited to sub mit prices on the proposed purchase, car lot and for cash. It may be thAt the purcnase that the consumers have in mind is a carload of corn, "ship" or other feed such as they have been buy ing in limited quantities and on time. Good judgment would suggest that the local miller or elevator man be given a chance to figure on this sale. If his figures are found too high it will thn be time to place the order else where. To destroy the local mill or elevator, to put out of business the local buyer of grain, may mean an in direct loss far exceeding the small savings made on any one purchase. This does not necessarily mean that any farm community should be "mar rled" to the home merchant. The point that we would make plain is that it is worth while for the rural community to encourage the growth of the home town. Co-operation can so easily take forms where it cannot be charged that it is seeking to tear down rather than to build up. There is need of co-opera tion in various branches of farm ac tivity. One farmer alone cannot suc cessfully combat insect pests. No one farmer can put the chinch bug out of business. It is practically useless for one farm- ; er to wait until danger of the Hessian fly is past if his neighbor's field is sown to wheat early in the season. It was only by the strongest co-op eration that foot-and-mouth disease was stamped out in the most infected districts. One nman cannot bring about better schools in any neighborhood by his own unaided efforts. One man dragging the public high way cannot keep the roads of a town ship in good condition. While he is dragging the highways in front of his home the water and the traffic is work ing its will upon the wheel tracks else where. FARMER SHOULD KEEP BOOKS Accurate Information on Cost of Pro-i ducing Crops Will Help Greatly to Improve Farm. (By R. L HIMES. Louitsana Station.) Every farmer should keep books so that he may have accurate informsa - tion about his business and may know the cost of labor, machinery and raw material. It is important to know the cost of producing each pound of cot ton or hay and each bushel of corn or - oats. Do not figure it on the basis that it will cost so much to prepare I the land, so much for planting and so much for cultivating. That is like fig Suring in the air. What you want to know is not what it costs anybody, but what did it cost you on your farm as you raised it Keep the record once r and learn something new. Learning s something new is like a tonic; it re - vires youth, gives one a new grip on a life and stimulates one to do things in pa better way. A farmer should be a i better corn raiser next year than he is s this year; keeping an accurate so c count of the cost qf producing his crop will help him to improve. There is a fascination tn doing anything well and to the best of one's abil c ity, and there is an inspiration in as L curate information about the things t in which we are interested. A fhrmer r who kept an Irish potato crop sacount was so pleased with what he learned that he decided to keep accounts of all his crops the next year. He soon had a .bank account and farmlng daily grew i more interesting to him. t Bookkeeping is a method of seca r rate and painstaking thinking about one's business. That's reason enough why a farmer should keep books. S Cut Out Mlddleman's Profits. SThe average farm is jaust like fae I tory.
