Value of Family Living on Farm

’ « Some Important Factors in Stability and Safety of Rural Life. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) An Important factor in the stability and safety of the farming business and of rural life exists in the housing facilities, and the fuel and food received from the home farm by the farmer and his family in connection with the operation of the farm, says the United States Department of Agriculture. This observation is made In analyzing farm business surveys conducted during the years 1918 to 1922, inclusive, covering 7,738 farms situated in 30 localities in 21 states. These farms represent varying types of agriculture and are operated under different topographic, soil, climatic, and marketing conditions. They comprise dairy farms in New England and Wisconsin, cotton plantations of the southern states, citrus groves and early truck farms of Florida, orchards of the Shenandoah valley in Virginia and near Niagara Falls in New York, grain and live stock farms of the corn belt, grain farms and grazing in the Great Plains region, extensive wheat farms in the Palouse country of Maho and Washington and in northern Oregon, and farms under irrigation in the West and Northwest. Six Vital Items. Six items constituted 92 per cent of the value of the family living from the farm, namely: house rent, fuel, dairy products, poultry and eggs, pork and lard, and fruit and vegetables. Food made up 61 per cent of the family living from the farm, and house rent and fuel 36 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively. The cow, the hog, and the hen ranked In the order named In their contributions to the family larder, while pork stood first among the meats consumed. Some commodities entering into the family living from the farm, such as small potatoes, and overripe or undersized fruits, frequently have little or no market value, and garden vegetables in many localities cannot be marketed. Their use by the farmer’s family does not materially reduce the cash Income. On the other hand, the farm home requires liberal quantities of such products as butter, eggs, and hogs. These commodities usually have a ready sale, and their utilization by the farmer’s family, to an appreciable degree flattens the farm purse. This use of marketable farm products is not extravagance but rather economy, for were the farmer obliged to buy these supplies or others in their stead at city retail prices, lie would often have to pay approximately double the farm price. The value of the family living from the farm us compared with the farm Income varies with the change in price levels of agricultural commodities. In 1918 and 1919 the value of the family living from the farm was only about one-fifth as much as the farm Income, but in 1921 and 1922, because of a decrease in the prices of farm products, it had Increased to one-third as much as the farm income. Value of Family Living. The value of the family living from the farm ranged from nothing to over SI,OOO. This variation was found among tamilies in the same locality with a somewhat less variation among different localities. Even in localities where the farmer concentrated upon nonfood crops, such as cotton, the

VELVET BEANS ARE EXCELLENT RATION FOR FATTENING STEERS

May Be Substituted for Cottonseed Meal. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Velvet beans and corn silage in equal quantities form a satisfactory ration for fattening steers. In such a ration velvet beans may be economically substituted for cottonseed meal, provided they do not cost more than half as much per pound (in the pod) as that product. These fagts were established in feeding experiments conducted in Mississippi by the United States Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the state agricultural experiment station, and in similar Investigations carried on by the department at its experimental farm at Beltsville, Md. In one of the experiments native steers showing no evidence of improved blood were used. In all the others, high-grade feeder steers were employed. The experiments were undertaken primarily to determine the value of velvet beans when fed with corn silage or sorgo silage as compared with cottonseed meal when similarly fed, and also whether velvet beans should be fed whole or ground, dry or soaked. Two pounds of velvet beans (in the pod) were found to be about equal in feeding value to one pound of cottonseed meal. When the whole velvet beans were substituted for cottonseed meal in the ration for the steers, only about two-thirds as much silage was eaten, the large amount of roughage formed by the bean hulls being responsible for the reduced consumption of silage. Whole velvet beans when soaked are more palatable than the dry beans, but the latter are more economical when the labor required for soaking them is considered. Grinding of velvet beans is not advisable, since It renders them less palatable and Impairs their keeping quality. While from 5 to 10 per cent less of ground velvet beans than of dry whole velvet beans are required to produce 100 pounds of gain, this saving does not compensate for the cost of grinding. Furthermore, ground velvet beans are so unpalatable that steers

$ —, ' farm contributed directly to the food I requirements of his family, through i crop and animal side lines. Where di- ' versified farming -was practiced, the pantry of the farm home was supplied with an abundance of home-grown food. The value of the family living from the farm on about 70 per cent of the farms varied from S2OO to SBOO. In a few localities the farm income averaged less than SI,OOO per farm, even In the palmy years of 1918 and 1919. In others the average for that period exceeded $4,000. The at erage size of . the farms ranged from less than 100 acres in some sections to more than 1,000 acres in others. The value of the family living from the farm Is, of course, more constant than the farm Income, as the farmer’s family have first call upon food supplies whether abundant or short. In the Interest of a stable agriculture it is Imperative that the farm provide, not only adequate housing facilities and some fuel, but also an abundance of food for the farmer’s family. To this end, a wise diversification of production is Indispensable. Packing Apples Is Most Important Harvest Task “Packing apples is a most Important part of the harvest.” says Prof. Joseph Oskamp of the New York College of Agriculture at Ithaca. “More attention should be given to racking or shaking the barrel to settle the fruit “To get a tight pack, rack the barrel after adding each half-bushel. Over-tilling the barrel will not take the place of racking, as the apples will settle Inter on and the pack will become slack. “A common fault In packing apples Is to overfill. Contrary to what might be expected, it does not insure a tight pack, and is npt to bruise the fruit all through the barrel. A properly racked barrel needs but little pressing, and the fruit need be but slightly above the top of the barrel before tha press Is applied. “If the fruit Is of good quality, and the crop Is large, a grading machine may be used economically. The sorting table is an Important part of the grading equipment and makes grading a quick and sure Job. “The grower should be governed by bls own conditions, however, and if there Is a large percentage of culls, he may be wise to sell the crop ‘orchard run' without bothering to grade 1L" Drying Off Cow Often Is Difficult for Dairyman Often it is difficult to dry off a cow. Many practices are followed by different farmers. The practice of milking cows but once a day is most common. It is often the sole method used to end the period of lactation. There are, however, other ways to assist in drying up the cow. Some milk at irregular Intervals. Others milk often, but do not milk dry. Eliminating the grain from the ration is a practice that is quite commonly followed. Feeds rich in protein, like grain and alfalfa hay, and also succulent feeds, can be taken advantageously from the animals while drying them off. There appears to be a general notion among the best dairymen to let up gradually on both the feeding and the milking to encourage the cow to dryness.

will not eat enough of them to make good gains. In the course of the experiments it was found that cottonseed meal is more palatable than velvet beans in any form, and that it produces more 1 rapid, though not more economical gains than velvet beans. The palatabillty of velvet beans may be improved bj' the addition of a small quantity of cottonseed meal to the beans. The 1 most economical form in which to feed velvet beans is in the pod without soaking. Velvet beans of the thinpodded, speckled variety are much higher in feeding value and more 1 palatable than several varieties which have a very thick pod, and consequently a low shelling percentage. Velvet beans of this variety are, moreover, a valuable protein concentrate. Grain at Freshening The time a cow is to freshen should be considered in determining the amount of grain to be fed. One that ' has freshened in the spring should ba very carefully guarded against falling off in milk at this time of the year, ‘ for once she has materially declined in production it Is impossible to bring her back to her maximum flow until she enters upon her next lactation period. A self-feeder for hens will prove ; profitable. The 3-L trail to prosperity stands ! for lime, legumes, and live stock. , Once planted, cover crops take care of themselves —as well as of the soil. • • • Many a good apple is spoiled by the unnecessary rough handling that attends the picking. i As soon as the asparagus berries turn red. the stalks should be cut off even with the ground. If left longer ' the berries will drop off and their seeds will fill the soil with seedling ! asparagus plants next spring.

Friends for Long Had Laugh on Sportsman A good story is going the rounds in London regarding an experience that I befell Sir William Harcourt when he was shooting in the Scottish High--1 lands with J. E. Millais. According ■ to Mr. Millais. Sir William was stroll- ; ing about one evening when lie spied j a magnificent horned beast grazing j peacefully on a little hill. In the gloaming it looked like a stag of fine | proportions, and without pausing to ! examine it through a glass, he rushed ! into the house, and, seizing a rifle, advanced upon his quarry with all the ' stealth and cunning of an accomI pllshed stalker. The crucial moment i came at last. His finger was on the trigger, and the death of the animal I a certainty, when a raucous Highland voice bellowed in his ear: “Ye’re no I gaen to shute the meenlster’s goat, are ye?” DEMAND “BAYER” ASPIRIN Take Tablets Without Fear If You See the Safety “Bayer Cross."
