The same thing is true with a farmer who makes an investment in a farm and crops it from year to year without rotating or using cover crops, selling the corn crops and feeding part to livestock, the manure wasting around the barn and running off in the branches and creeks. He, too, finds out in a few years that his land is not worth what he paid for it, and that he isn't getting the re sults from it that he once got. Here he must stop and conclude as the man who deposited $1,000 in the banlc and drew on it until it was all gone, plus $250. The two things that hap pened to him happened to the farm er. First, the farmer took off crops which were taking fertility out of his land; second, that he wasted the manure which should have been re turned to the farm and failed to ro tate crops or grow cover crops to hold the soil from leaching during the winter when the rain are so nu merous. Therefore, he must either make a deposit by crop rotation, growing cover crops, saving and us ing the manure or continue to take the depreciation in his farm and in the end be forced to sell it for half price and go to town to finish up "starving out" making the rest of his days a servant instead of accept ing the MASTERSHIP and leader ship of his farm.

Now-a-days we are learning a great deal about the value of foods, and we need to learn more. Here ia a small ar ticle which is very much to the point, taken fro mthe August 1st issue of the Southern Agriculturist: Dr. E. V. McCollum, the world's greatest authority on food and nutri tion, says that milk is necessary if the body is to develop normally and keep In a healthy condition. He pointa out that no family should purchase any meat until each member has at least a pint of milk daily. Milk ia just at necessary in the diet of the adult as in that of the growing child. Milk ia our greatest protective food and its use must be increased. Here are seven pointa brought out by Dr. McCollum'a latest research work: 1.
