C. E. Hall; rf Divenity of Farm Enterprises In most cases where studies on the i refits in farming have betn made, va'ticularlv in our oldest agricultural districts, such studies indicate that the most agricultural districts, such studies indicate that the et sum ssful farms ate those who have from two to four major sources of income; i. have a well-hi lanced and diversified business In ertain instances it may pay letter to have only ont but usually when one cirp pays much better than all others the production of it increases rapidly arid soon the ptice falls" to the point wher6 other crrps or pr ducts are equally os profitable. Diversified farming is often confused with farming where there is a little of everything and not much of anvthing.

Ei'her extreme lessens thf chancts of success When the price of certain crops is very low then live stock usually becomes desirable However, if the returns per animal are poor, cash crops even ar a low price are essential A well-balance, businees insures aganst losses and provides a much better utilization of the labor and equipment, Keep Farm Records Odd you tell your wife how much you are worth if she should ask you? Could you tell her exactly how much profit you made last year? Not many farmers could answer either the questions with-outguessing Few farmers even take an" invoice or keep records. Just because your bank account is a' little stronger than it was January 1. 1915. does not indicate that you have made money. You my (have less corn in the crib, less wheat in the bin and less stock in the-fards Why not make a re-solve' now to start to keening boats? You'll not regret it.

In a few weeks time you will begin to realize that farm records will help you in your business. Ihe inventory is the first step It should include land, buildings, live stock, machinery, grain and other supplies, and hills receivable. When these are all listed and given a conservative value, deduct the bills pavable, and you have the net worth of your business.

Mr. Griggs is a busy farmer and yet fiods time tc keep records of his farming operations ought to create in you a desire to follow mm closely. Winter Care of Animals Now that the cold and dreary days are about at hand, it is fitting that the farmre turn his attention to the comforts and discomforts of the young animals in his care. If the floors or beds become wet, and the pelts lambs, pigs and calves gather moisture indoors and out, the feeble animals become chilled, and the body warmth of even the robust is taxe'd, so that a part of the feed goes only as so much fuel to maintain the normal temperature. This increases the food of Bupport and loners the amouBt to be directed to increase of growth.

-t Dark, damp days and dark, damp pens or beds are not only a tax on the vitaljty of the young animals, but also on the feed fain. The dark, damp pen not only breeds discomfort and taxes vitality, bbt it improves the condition in which disease germs multiply and thrive. Dampness and darkness favor the rapid increase of microbes, a prolific 'source of checks the development of these micrubes, but it does not destroy them. They only lie dormant, ready to renew their increase as good as the needed moisture arrives. dreaded cholera germ may lie ordmant for month in a dry place.

Sunlight destroys disease germs. It is essential to Jife and So it ought to be clear to every farmer that the best method of keeping live stock In a healthy condition during the winter is to allow plenty of sunlight to cuter the itables and pens, and allow the animals to be out in. the open air enough to invigorate and cleanse them. There are rainy periods during which there is very title, if any, sunlight, and when dampness increases, in pens and beds, and conditions favorable of microbes and disease trouble us. It is some powerful disinfectant be used, such as zenoleum a coal-tar product, which will remove the.

musty odor and destroy the germs 'of disease. Damp of no kind must be alloxed to reriajn the pens. OS AT II" "1 uKereil yaars from dyspepsia and liver complaint. I spent without rallflf. 1 wn cured by three bottle of Dr.
