X HASTY CONCLUSIONS . - SHOULD BE AVOIDED Al Angles of Farm: Enterprise | Should Be Considered. If Cowa Ware Sold. There Would Be No Way ef ‘Using nyuhqoe-l.n- bor Also Would Lost, Ad- ding Another Burden. (Prepured by the United Btates Départment ot Agriculture.) Hasty conclusions should be avolded in making use of the results of the year's cost accounts for improving the organization of the farm, warns the United States Department of Agricul- ture. Al good farmers know that sometimes & ‘positive decrease In profits may ensue if an énterprise be dropped because, taken alone, It has failed to pay. Cows, for instance, may not show a net profit, but if all the cows were sold there might be no other way of using the roughage, which -would become a dead loss. La- bor devoted night and morning to Kesping of Cows May Be Responsible for Making Hogs 8o Profitable. milking and feeding . cows, and charged to them, would be . entirely lost 1f: the cows were sold and noth- ing supplied to fill in the time. Thus an added burden for the maintenance of labor would have to be borne by-| the other enterprises. The fact that the hogs or the corn crop bring the most net money during the season i8 no reason for assuming that all the activities of the farm in the future should be devoted solely to hogs or corn, It may be that the keep- ing of cows i partly responsible for making hogs so profitable, or that the growing of wheat, clover, or other icrops in rotation with corn makes the Jatter crop. much more profitable tiian it .would have been if grown alone. Bimilar conditions will be met with on all farms 4nd, therefore, no sudden changes should be made on the basis of what a single year's accounts may indicate, All angles of the enterprise should be taken into consideration. - L.

The workers in England called tilers (we have all heard of Wat Ty- ler) were probably brickmakers. Two fine examples of brick architecture in the England' of medleval days are Hampton court and Lambeth palace, London, 1 The swallows are very graceful birds and are exceedingly swift fillers. They feed on insects which they catch on the wing. There are five native swallows which are common—the eave or clift, the barn, the bank, the tree swallow and the purple martin, Seed Sown in Peculiar Manner.

The Guernsey herd at Clover-Crest Farm are being kept under. good farm conditions, no different from 'what they may be kept at any North- ern Minnesota Farm, Their health is being well guarded and regular annual tests made for Tuberculosis. There has never been a case of con- tagious Abortion in the herd. There is a good Silo on the place and an abundance of home-grown feeds are produced on the farm. For a number of years, every milking has been regularly weighed and this year several cows are doing advanced registery work, which will gradually be extended to the whole herd. Some of the cows have produced as high as 47 lbs. of milk per day, testmg 5 per cent fat, on two milk- ing daily, and which is equal to near- 1y 3 Ib. of butter per day. Mr. Jensen believes in the Guern- sey cow. He has given her a good trial and she has made good with him, an dhe feels that she has done well for him, yet he is aiming for still greater results in the future and in this he is ably scconded by his youngest son Earl, a Guernsey en- thusiast of the strcngest type, and it is safe to predict that .
