by James E. Dodge, manager of J. C. Penny & Co/s farm in the East.
The premier animal weighed 1,142 pounds and it cost $125.62 to raise
and fatten him. Before coming to Chicago he won cash prizes at lowa fairs

a gross total, including the sale price, of $8,042, His owner has left a net
profit of $8,816.38.

Aids Efficiency
Any Business Can Be
Brought Out of
~ Difficulties.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Co-operatives should have efficient
management, says A. V. Swarthout, of
the United States Department of Agri
culture. This is essential to all busi
ness, but is probably even more than
usually desirable in farmers’ market
ing organizations because of the pecu
liar psychology involved and the large
number of inviduals directly interest
ed.
No Comparison Made.
Mr. Swarthout points out that low
costs of operation, high sales prices,
and similar tests of satisfactory oper
ations which are often applied in bus
iness are valuable only when thegacan
be compared with some standard or
with the same items in other similar
organizations. Co-operatives meet dif
ficulties in trying to apply such tests.
Little information is available re
garding costs in compaFable organiza
tions. Privately owned organizations
rarely give out their figures for the
use of co-operatives, and even if they
did the figures would not often be
comparable, since co-operatives com
monly provide services not offered by
nonco-operative business.
Scientific analysis of the business
operations is a great aid in checking
up operating efficiency. This has fre
quently been described as “budgetary
control.” Mr. Swarthout says that one
banker who has had a great deal of
experience with it, probably more
than any other in this country, re
cently made the statement that he
had yet to see any business—and he
believed there was none—which could
not be brought out of its difficulties
and into a better position through the
use of budgetary control.
Five Essential Points.
In brief, the following five points
summarize what can be accomplished
through this method, he said:
*l. Budgeting substitutes definite
facts and figures for guesswork and
intelligent planning for blindfold
fumbling.
«2. It employs co-operation; and it
does more—it enforces co-operation;
indeed, creates it.
“3. It serves to materialize contem
plated actions in such a way that the
results of those actions become known
before the actions themselves are set
in motion,
*4, It helps to restrain unwise ex
pansion.
“5. It provides a unified plan of
operation—a financial working plan
that, as every executive knows, is of
the utmost value and Importance to
any enterprise.”
Medium Producing Cows
Like Alfalfa and Corn
Since there is seldom a deficiency
in carbohydrates and fat when the
dalry cow has all the roughage that
she can eat, a roughly balanced ration
may be obtained by balancing the pro
teln of the grain mixture to go with
the roughage and disregarding the car
bohydrates and fat. For low to
medium-producing cows good alfalfa
hay and corn meal make up a rea
sonably good ration, To go with
alfalfa hay, some graln mixtures are
as follows: Mixture 1200 pounds
corn, 100 pounds oats, 100 pounds
wheat bran, and 100 pounds linseed
01l meal, Mixture 2100 pounds bar
ley, 100 pounds oats, 100 pounds whent
bran, and 300 pounds corn 01l meal,
Mixture 3200 pounds corn-and-cob
meal, 200 pounds oats, 100 pounds
wheat bran, and 100 pounds cottonseed
meal," i
It prairie hay Is used as roughage
the ration may be as follows: Mix
ture I=loo pounds dorn, 100 pounds
oats, 100 pounds wheat bran, and 250
pounds linseed ofl meal. Misture 2
100 pounds barley, 100 pounds alfalfa
meal, 100 pounds corn 01l meal, and
200 pounds lnseed ofl meal,
Liming for Legumes
Essential for Soil
Ee T .
Needed on Sandy Land for
Alfalfa and Clover.
Lime should be applied to the sos
for the successful production of al
falfa and the various clovers on the
sandy soil of the Mississippi valley in
Minnesota; on most of the soils of
southwestern Minnesota (in general
east of a line drawn directly south |
from the Twin Cities to the lowa bor- |
der) ; and to most of the soils of west
ern Wisconsin except a strip border
ing Lake Superior in Douglas, Bay
field, Ashland and Iron counties. The
goils of western Minnesota and the
Dakotas are well provided with lime
and none needs to be added to these
soils when alfalfa is sown, except per
haps in a few localities of North Da
kota.
The way to find out whether your
soil needs lime, and how much, is to
send a half-pound sample of soil to
the soils division of your state experi
ment station, which in Minnesota is lo
cated at University farm, St. Paul,
and in Wisconsin, at Madison. On
most soils in the lime-deficient sec
tions above mentioned, from two to
three tons of ground limestone, lime
stone screenings, or marl should be
applied per acre. Marl beds may be
found in many localities of eastern
Minnesota and western Wisconsin, and
the product, when considered on the
dry basis, is as valuable as ground
limestone, Soil-testing outfits are now
on the market with which a farmer
can test his soil for lime,
Southwestern Minnesota and adja
cent sections of Wisconsin are well
provided with deposits of llme:éone
and numerous quarries from ich
agricultural lime ecan be purchased.
Some farmers find it profitable to hire
owners of portable limestone grinders
to pulverize limestone from outcrop
pings on their own farms. The pur
chase of such grinders is scarcely eco
nomical for one farmer or even a
group of farmers, as it is llkely to
\stand idle too much of the time. It
' is more profitable for one man to own
such a machine and devote all of his
time to its operation.—The Farmer,
Life of Weed Seeds
“How long do weed seeds live?” Iy
frequently asked by the farmer when
he sees a fine growth of weeds in the
spring on land that was left clean the
year before, Such a sight is discour
aging to him, and ‘often is quite un
explainable,
The life of a seed In the soll de
pends upon many things: the amount
of moisture in the soil, the tempera
ture, the depth to which the seed is
buried, and the nature of the seed
itself. There are other quite impor
tant factors,

YTots of folks who think they have
“indigestion” have only an acid condi
tion which could ‘be corrected in five

like Phillips Milk of Magnesia soon
restores digestion to mnormal,
Phillips does away with all that
