Editor Home and Farm:
Increased cost of living is the
subject of much complaint at
present. And I would like to
tell the farmers how they may
solve the problem as I have
done. Perhaps others are man
aging it the same way, but I
know the majority of ordinary
farmers are still depending on
my own use and sell more than
enough to pay for the bran, etc.,
which I have to buy. Hence,
high-priced meat dosn’t make a
drain on my purse. I raise a
few litters of pigs every year
and sell them with profit.
Most of the feed for my cows
is raised on my farm. I sow one
third of my cultivated upland in
grass and follow with mixture of
peas and cane seed. This makes
cotton for their living, and sure- , . - , . . . jrai
. , ... plenty of roughage for winter'/
ly these farmers may right- f •, . , ., Jit
i *v- feeding. The remainder of landf-
I divide between cotton and corn.
I make enough corn to use, and,
although I do not plant much
cotton, that which I do make
brings me in clear money, since
I sell enough dairy products,
pigs, etc., to buy all we need
and pay my hired men a3 well
The manure from the dairy is
one of itB most valuable features

Job Work. Give us a trial.
ly complain of the difficulty of
making ends meet.
First, do not try to farm too
much land. I sold my large
farm three years ago and pur
chased a farm of forty-two
acres. On this I can, by diver
sified farming, make a better
living than I did on my former
place.
About half of my farm I have
sodded with Bermuda and en
closed with wire for pasturing
cattle. I do not think a farm
worthy of the name when it is
without good cattle. I kept a
few good dairy cows—not more
than I can attend to easily—and
raise the choicest calves from
them. 1 have a fine pure-bred
sire and three registered heifers,
It is my intention to gradually
weed out all grade cattle and
keep only the pure-bred Jerseys,
Then wlv n I have calves to sell
they will bring a nice little sum
above what the grade calves sell
for.
I sell n.v butter in the nearby
town to private customers, and,
us I use cream seperator and
take every precaution to make a
strictly first-class butter, I very
easily dispose of all I make at 5
cents above the market price
here
I feed the skim milk to the
hogs and find it excellent for
them. With the addition of
some bran and shorts it
is better than corn fer fattening
hogs, as well as f< r l rood sows.
I always have plenty of meat for
and has been a great aid in build
ing up my f irm. In fact, I be
lieve it pays a farmer to keep
cows for the manure alone, even
when there is no other profit to
be made from them.
Any farmer, large or small,
can by followingdthis system of
farming very materially reduce
the cost of living and have an
added sense of independence.

Advantage of Parcels Post.
We noticed in an exchange the
other day a statement to the ef
fect that the man who advertises
and the farmer-who looks for bar
gains will be the persons to profit
mostly by ths parcels post. This
is just about the size it, too. The
enterprising, wide-awake mer
chant in the small city, or even
the country town, need not lose
trade to the big mail orderestab-
lishments. If he will only let hi
customers know that he can sup
ply their wants as quickly and as
cheaply as anyone, and that he
too is willing to do a mail order
business, he will profit by the
parcels post as much as anyone,
not even excepting the farmer. —
