ably they were worth no more, but
had they been properly finished they

meat question is that the four 2.year-

Again, the seven cows produced ap.

total of approximately '75 pounds of

at $100 per acre is a losing proposi-

field crops or in manufactured pro-
ducts, namely, beef, pork, and dairy
products, one-quarter of tie amount

statement one notices that improve-

made, are not credited; also that im-

Generally speaking, the following
suggestions for the immediate im-

soon as possible, by a good system of
rotation, better tillage method, and

Previous to receiving your letter 11
had read the article in your December I
81st issue, and I would offer the

that, witb the limited knowledge,
which I have regarding this proposi- I

A hundred acre farm of good char-,

deal more than this hundred acres

ment one finds that the live stock
kept amounts to only 4 horses,

milch cows, 12 bead of young cows,

in the accounts one notices items for
the purchase of bay, 5 or 6 tons;
straw, 1 to 2 tons, and chop for cat-
tle and pig feed amounting to over
$70, with a total for feed purchased
of $177.26. A hundred acre farm

in an embarrassed way that told me

erally speaking, the expenditures
seem to be very fair for a farm of
this size, especially where improve-

ception of the items for the purchase

which certainly appear unnecessary,
considering the limited stock Maine
