The'average yield of oats per year for
five years under the system employed,
that is from 1916 to 1920 inclusive,
was 60 bushels per acre, the price 72e
per bushel, and the profit $22.57 per
acre. The profit in 1920 was inu•ch
reduced owing to the cost of labor,
which had risen from Ole per hour in
1916 to 40e per hour in 1920. -Hay

five years, the average yield pet -acre

sesses the, virttic of requiring the least

the profit $29.77, Prices of both hay
and corn were up in 1920, There was

Sheep Keep Orchard Bearing.
For more than -half a century Otis
Fuller lived on a hill farm in Southern
Central New York. The soil of his
farr -vas clay loam, and naturally not
very my. He laid underdralne through
a piece of about two acres in extent
and planted it to apple tree,s. The
trees bore fruit regularly for -fifty
years.
In all that time he used no other
fertilizer than that which came from
his flock of sheep which was pastured
there year after year. In the fall of
the year, after the apples had been
gathered., and again in the spring
until the fruit began to he well devel-
oped, he kept the sheep in that field.
Sometimes he had as many as twenty-
five or thirty sheep there at a time.
The orchard' was left in grass, being
plowed only rerely.
It would seem from this that sheep
manure isea good fertilizer for orch-
ards.
Sheep can not safely be pastured in
a young. orchard without tree pro-
tectors.

device has been perfected, which will

machines have been made to place on

nure and fertilizer alio 4.4 tone, Tim-
othy hay was not completed In tbe
same mariner. The all important point
is that the yields of mangols and oats
were greatly increasen by the use of
either farm manure or fertilizer sep-
arately or in part together. 'These
dncreases, although not exactly pro-
portionate each year, 1918 being the
best, ran from 700 per cent. upwards.
Clover hay varied, and altbough the
fifth year yield exceeded that of the
fourth year by nearly 70 per cent.,
the first year's -yield was the best of
all.
Testing the Age of Eggs.
Fill a tumbler two-thirds full of
water and then place in it a newly -
laid egg and it will sink to the bot-
tom 'of the g1m3s. The egg is eompos-
ed largely of water, and thereefore is
heaviest while it is fresh. The older
the egg, the lighter it becomes on ac-
count of the water evaporating from
the white of the egg, which causes
the empty apace at the thick end of
the egg to become enlarged. 'Hence,
et three weeks of age the egg will
lean in the water. When three months
old it will stand perfectly straight,
with pointed end of the egg barely
touching the bottom of the glass. The
larger the empty space becomes the
more the egg will _rise in the water,
until finally it reaches the aurface.

Thethoosing of a Farm Home
There Are Certain Essentials to Look for When Selecting a
Farm Home -By R. G. Kirby.
Many of the most discouraging mis-
takes in the farming business are the
result of beying farms without due
investigation of their merits. A man
can always see certain things about
his own Sarni which he will miss in
another farm. Association with his
business brings out its weak points.
If a farmer becomes discouraged he
will magnify all the bad points, of his
own. farm and at the same time see
only the good things in a farm several
miles away. This condition of mind
frequently leads to quick ehanges that
neither benefit the mental condition
of the business farmer or his pocket -
nook. From experience we have
learned several' of the things that it
pays to consider when buying a farm.
Trace the fences clear around , the
farm and note the condition of the
wire and the posts. If repairs are
needed, jot down their approximate
cost. It is very exasperating trying
to manage a stock farm without ade-
quate fencing. Farmers who try it
are constantly on their mettle trying
to keep cows and hags out of craps
and beside the nerve-racking exper-
ience there is usually a let of de-
struction unless good fences are built
soon afber moving to the farm.
The water supply is very important
to the health of the family and a
steady supply is needed for the stock.
If the name has a shallow dug well
that goes dry every summer it pays
to know that fact before buying the
land. It costs a lot of money to drive
a deep evell at present prices and dur-
ing the Mit summer months the tattle
need a lot of water and a good well
is an important asset ih the business.
Roofs Are Iinportant.
Note the roofs on the buildiegs.
Many old farms have buinlings.

of shingles which were very fine. But

by ,a careful inapeetion of the roof

ed eight away instead ot in a YeaS on

or four visits from travelers who wish
to :can up the garage or borrow a
pump, tire patch, quart of gas, gallon

ers on main roads who.somethnes wish
their farms were a little more seclud-
ed, possibly on a good side road about
a quarter of a mile from the main
line of traffic. I write this to empha-
size that a very nice farm home can
be built up on the side road, It does
not have to be on the main, line as
there are some disadvantages to such
a location as well as the advantages.
Church and Sebool.
A farm near goad churches and
schools has an added value. The fam-
ily with small children maybuy a
fanfar from the school and then
find that their location is quite a
handicap when the children arrive at
school age. In some sections the con-
solidated sehools with their auto
busses have helped, solve the problem
for farmers who do not !live within
easy walking distance of a school.
The distance to a good market city
is of great importance. If you sell
truck, small fruit and poultry pro-
ducts you will usually have better luck
near a good city. If you are to be a
live stock and- grain farmer you can
locate on land, at a greater distance
and still make money if you have good
luck, The farms near a city usually
cost 'much more money than more dis-
tant farms. The amount of money
tied up in your land is, of greater
importance in determining whether it
is a business success or not,
The basis of a farm is good soil.
You cannot have a few bits analyzed

Giving Thanks -By Alice Wingate. Frary.
All thoughtful parents, I am sure,
wish their thildren to have "wide in-
terests and 51111910 pleasures." Indeed,
the two go together, for the farther
into the activities of ethers the child's
sympathies carry him, the more whele-
some pleasures he is bound to discover
for himself. To broaden the outlook,
Froebel has given mothers the Grass-
3nowing Play. Its gay, old-fashioned
little song, beginning,
"Peter, Peter, quickly go

contribute to his well-being. It can
not fail to interest a child when, ho
knows the cow must be fed to furnish
the milk he so much likes, the butter
churned and his rolls baked, from the
soft white.flour the miller has ground.
This train el thought natnrally leads
him on to a contemplation of the great
Source of all supply, the Giver of all
goad. And as the child sings these
quaint little verses happily, with their
(appreciative climax, he is learning to
express loving gratitude:
"Thanks to ell are gladly said,
Baker, thank you for the bread.
Thanks dear mother shall not lines,
Given with a loving kiss,"
Furthermore, if a child grows op
realizing how his life is inteeweven
with those about him he will be safe-
guarded against selfishness, and if he
is taught to think about work and
play in their relationship to each
other, over -emphasizing either will be
prevented. Roosevelt in welting to

having excelled in college athletics,
but reminded him that it was not
praiseworthy to exert himself to the
