EFFICIENCY OF
FARMER VARIES
Some Are Able to Detect and
Eliminate the Low-Paying
or Losing Enterprises.
OTHERS SHOULD MAKE MORE
Information Obtained In Keeping Rec
ords Is Valuable In Asslatlno
Farmer to Secure a Balanced
Business for Next Year.
Farmers, Just like other business
men, vnry widely In the degree of eill
olency displayed In running their busi
ness. Some nre able to annlyzo the
farm business and thus to detect and
eliminate the low-paying or losing en
terprises. Others, lacking the knowl
edge of how to make a systematic
analysis of tho business ns a whole,
know that their profits nre not what
they ought to be. without knowing
how to go nbout It to Increase them.
They may be able to llnd nnd correct
the obvious errors In the smnll-slzed
farm business, but In handling a busi
ness of considerable size they often
fall to spot tho enterprises that nre
losing money for them. Such men
may or may not make money, but at
best they fall short of making as
much as they might. A farmer may
ho making a large net profit on his
potatoes and lo'slng it all by keeping
low-producing cows. Similarly a man
may bo making money on his cows and
losing part of the profit on another
enterprise. Hence the paramount Im
portance of records to tho farmer.
Farm Returns Studied.
Careful studies made upon n largo
number of fnnns enable the olllce of
'mm management of the United States
department of agriculture to make
some Interesting statements In this
regard. For Instance, they llnd thnt
only 10 per cent usunlly less of the
farms studied are mnnaged so n to se
cure better-than-avernge returns from
all four factors size of business,
yield of crops, live stock, and labor
while from 20 to !?0 pur cent of the
farms considered have only one factor
bettor than the average. It must bo
understood that no one of these fac
tors will determine success.
The figures given which relate to the
labor. Income will prove most Interest
ing to fnrjn employers. The analysis
has reduced the labor cost of farm
work to figures. An acre of hay. on
an average farm, costs the labor of
one man and one horse for a ten-hour
day to cut. cure, and harvest It; oats,
wheat, and barley, one and a half
days of man labor and three of horse :

corn for the silo, three man days and
live and n half days for a horse ;
onions, sold In bunches, require about
!.'! days of man work to only ten for
the horse; dairy cows take 18 days of
man time every year nnd two dnys
of horse time so on through n list
that Includes about every Item of farm
effort. This Information Is valuable
both In securing a balanced business
and In assisting the farmer to esti
mate his labor needs for tho coming
year. It Is contained In n new publi
cation of the department of agricul
ture, bulletin li:), "A .Method of An
alyzing the Farm Business."
Advice of Experts Available.
With the bulletin go blank forms
for tho purpose of preparing the an
alysis. Upon these blanks the farmer
can Inventory his business and then,
If he feels uii(ualilled to abide by his
own Judgment upon the results shown,
he may secure the advice of experts
by submitting the data gathered to
his county agent, or to :ils state agrl
'ultural college, or he may send It di
rectly to the department of agriculture
to have tho annlynis made.
MARKET FOR SURPLUS TRUCK
Fruit and Vegetables Otherwise Wast
ed Can Be Sold in Small Quan
tities by Using Motor.
The motor truck express routes In
many localities make It possible for
the farmer to market his surplus fruit
and vegetables In small quantities that
would otherwise be wasted. When
there Is more than enough for entitling
purposes this method should hot be
verlooked.
FARM WOODLAND CAN
BE MADE PROFITABLE
Erroneous for Farmers to Saw
Up Choice Timber.
Many Valuable Logs Go lnto Cross Ties
When They Would Bring Much
' More Money If Sold as Saw
Logs Other Hints.
It Is a mistake to saw np choice
logs of white oak, ash, cherry and yel
low poplar for rough uses nt home or
to use clear black walnut for gate
boards or split up white oak butts for
fence posts. This fact Is emnhuslziMl
In many ways In a new publication.'
"i-orestry and the Farm Income," Is
sued by the forest service, United
States department of agriculture.
Farmers are told that many valuable
logs go into cross tics when they would
bring the owner much more If sold ns
saw logs. Likewise, large numbers
of rapid growing trees nre cut which
produco only one small tie, whereas,
If left to grow for from three to five
years, they would yield more than

such mistakes, owners of fnrrn wood
land should familiarize themselves
with the uses for which each kind of
timber Is lost adapted.
Timber that Is cut In tho lnte spring
and summer months should bo handled
with special cure to avoid Injury, be
cause freshly cut wood Is then more
likely to be attacked by Insects and
fungi than during the colder months.
Seasoning proceeds more rapidly dur
ing the wnrmer season and may cnuso
vxcesslve checking, which is not hencfl
clal to the timber. If rightly handled,
posts, poles and logs may be cut at any
season without their durability belnsj
affected. In no case should wood bo
allowed to lie In direct contact with
the ground. The opportunity for In
sect attack and decay can be reduced
to n minimum by peeling the timbers
nnd open-piling them off the ground In
a shaded but dry place. This, how
ever, does not retard checking of the
wood.
Logs are sometimes stored under
water. In the hot season, to prevent
blue stain, checking, Insect attack, and
decay. Painting the ends of logs with
n yellow ochre or barn paint will very
materially retard Injury by end check
ing. Painting peeled timbers with
creosote will prevent sap stnln nnd
decay.
NEW SEEDINGS FOR PASTURE
Sheep Better Suited for Grazing Than
Horses or Cattle Rye Favored
for Fall Pasture.
New seedlngs of clover nnd timothy
should be pastured lightly. Sheep are
better suited for this purpose than
horses and cattle, but care must be
used to prevent them grazing tho new
meadows too closely. Stalk fields,
from which the com and stover have
been removed, furnish considerable
feed In the form of grasses, weeds nnd
nn occasional stalk and ear of corn. It
Is well to nllow the stock to clean up
this feed that would otherwise go to
waste. In order to provide more good
fall grazing It Is n good plan to sow
rye at tho last working of tho corn
crop.

TEST GOOD ROAD MATERIALS
Much Detailed Technical Information
Secured In Experiments By
Public Roads Bureau.
It Is belloved that the bureau of
public roads, United States depart

ing division has done more than any
other single agency In developing the
Intelligent use of bitumens In road
construction. For exnmple, experi

er a soft stone could he used In
bituminous macadam 'nnd bituminous
concrete; whether rocks having a
marked cleavage could be used to ad
vantage In such construction; what
quantities of bitumen give the best re

on watcr-houtid macadam and what
kind of covering material and what
quantities should he used In any case.
A large amount of detailed techni

by the bureau In the course of Its
research and experimental work. The

About '20 per cent of motortrucks

WORK GRADER OVER HIGHWAY
First Round Trip After Each Rain
Should Be to Smooth Up Center
and Remove Surplus.
The center of an earth road dries
more quickly nfter a ruin than do the
sides. Therefore the first round trip
over the road with a grader after each
rain Is on the center with the blnilo
set at an angle that will move the sur
plus dirt ahead and out. This meth
od smooths up the center first, where
the traffic should travel and wishes to
