fects Great Saving In Quantity.
With clover, alfalfa, sweet clover
and all the grass seeds usually enough
seed is used to the acre for three or
four good stands. If every seed took
root and grew where it fell on the soil
there would be so many plants to the
square yard that none could grow well.
They would stand so thickly that they
would smother each other to death.
Where tnechaulcal seeders are used to
distribute the seed uniformly over the
surface of the soil much less seed per
acre will be required. 13y using a me-
chanical seeder for uniform distribu-
tion and coveting the seed mechanical-
ly a saving of fully oue-half of the seed
can be effected.

Sweet clover is coming into general

reason why more fanners tlo not grow

animals will not eat the growing' plants

animals will not eat sweet clover at

taste of it and become used to it they
will eat it as readily ds the best corn,

Sweet clover should be sows early In

Doe reason fer Anurkaus' inditter-
, Net eetteeess in animal bleeding" hire
been the lack of neighborhood organ'
zatiou. Where a whole community is
interested in the same breed of live
stock, where practically every farm is
a breeding station, there is first a
wider basis of selection than where
only one farm is given over to that
breed. .A. wider basis of selection
makes possible more scientific muting
than is possible where there are only a
few breeding animals from which to
select, In the second place, a neigh-
borhood enterprise of this •hind gi' es
greater permanency and continuity
than are possible where tartly a few in.
divldual farmers are interested.
Xt has happened so often in this coun.
try that it may almost be said to be
the rule that by the time a successful
breeder has built up a superior herd,
stud or flock his life is drawing to a
close, his sons have moved to town and
his animals are scattered.
These animals may after they are
scattered do something toward improv-
ing the general average of the animals
of the community, but this is by no
means certain. There are many chances
that they will be crossed with other
breeds, and the general tendency of
haphazard crossbreeding is to produce
mongrels.
If, on the other hand, the whole com-
munity in which such a breeder lived
were engaged in developing the same
breed instead of a large number of dif-
ferent breeds, his animals would prob.
ably' remain in the same neighborhood
and be crossed with others of the same
breed. When this happens the work of
the individual breeder 15 not lost, but
is enabled to count in the improvement
of the stock of the country.
Under our present highly individual-
istic methods the farmer who enters
upon a breeding enterprise frequently,
If not generally, makes the initial mis-
take of selecting some breed whiob Is
new to his community in order that he
may have something different from
anything possessed by his neighbors.
It is safe to sny that a neighborhood
whose farmers behave in this absurd
manner will never become distinguish-
ed for the excellence of its live stock or
of its field crops.
A. third reason for our lack of suc-
cess in animal breeding has already
been suggested -namely, the lack of
stability of the average American farm
family. Where the same farm stays in
the same family for several genera-
tions. if it happens to be a breeding
farm, there is time to build up a supe-
rior herd, stud or flock. In the United
States this does not often happen.
The sons of a successful breeder have
in the past frequently gone to a city to
enter upon urban business or profes.
sion. But even this instability of the
form family, which prevents the con-
tiuuation of breeding enterprises over
tong periods of time, is in large meas.
ore due to a lack of rural organization.

Raising chickens. like raising any
•tbor kind of stock on the farm, will

the degree of knowledge and paiustak-
ing devoted to it. Some people insist
There is more profit in raising chickens
>n the farm than any other kind of do-

In the first place, there should be a

Reel) them from roosting in the tool

pensive, but mast have a good roof to
keep out the rain, and the walls must
be tight enough to keep out the wind.
On the farm, when it is possible, let
the chickens have free range and allow
them to forage for themselves. With-
out visiting the grain fields, hens on a
farm with their liberty will obtain
more than half thein living free of cost
to their owner, and the food they se-
cure promotes their health and favors
egg production. They pick up seat-
tcred°grain in the barnyard, feed on
grass, weed seed, worms, bugs, grass-
hoppers and nil kinds of insect pests.
