As general advice the following suggestions are valuable and properly applied will lead to increased acre yields. Land Is plowed in order to loosen It and enable water to enter in greater quantity, be absorbed to greater depth, and remain longer in the soil. A deep seed bed well supplied with soil moisture and well drained makes a big corn yield possible, whether the BIG PROBLEM FOR DAIRYMAN summer proves too dry or too wet.

The primitive cow freshened in the spring and produced milk enough to feed her calf hntil It could forage for Itself. The improved dairy cow of today is a highly specialized animal that freshens at the time desired and that produces a large flow of milk during from 9 to 12 months of the year. How to obtain this large production most economically Is the great problem of ..every dairyman. Economical production depends primarily on selection, breeding and feeding, care and management. It requires that all unprofitable cows be eliminated, that the res bulls, mainder be bred to herd be fed in the cow each and that a properly balanced ration according to production.

Everyone, we believe, concedes the efficiency of the Swift & Company organization in performing a big job in a big way at a , minimum of expense. Swift & Companys total profit in 1917 was less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales of meat and Elimination of this profit would have had practically no effect on " f live stock and meat prices.

A pasture field was plowed in alternate strips by two men, one a careful plowman and the other & poor plowman.

The most successful corn growers realize the Importance of thorough early cultivations, which prevent any check In the growth of the plants due to weeds or crusted soil. From the time of germination to the maturing of the corn the farmer should see that the plants are not subjected to any preventable unfavorable conditions, but nre permitted to make a steady vigorous growth. Use Weeders and Harrows. Horse weeders and harrows should he used when needed to break a surface crust, check Insect depredntlons, or kill young weeds that start before the corn Is up or large enough to be worked with oilier Implements. For the first cultivation after the plant, nre up, and while they are very small, nnrrow shovels that throw the soil very little should be used, and fenders usually are desirable to prevent the covering of the plants. After the plants have reached a height of 2 or 3 feet, (he soil, even In the middle of the rows, should not be cultivated deeper than 4 inches, and usually a shallower cultivation will prove better For retaining soil moisture a loose soil mulch 2 or 3 inches in thickness should be maintained. Corn should be cultivated often enough to keep down weeds and to maintain constantly a loose soil mulch until the corn has attained Its growth. To tliis end a greater number of cultivations will be necessary when rains at intervals of about a week cause the surface soil to run together and crust. pro-porti- |
