To better care for the work which comes with a rush in the springtime. Bruce Wolfe has installed a trip lhammer at the blacksmith shop which will greatly facilitate the sharpening of the plow lays, as well as most of the heavy work which conies in the spring, and for which everybody is always in a hurry. Bruce has done the wise thing in preparing to care for the rush season. The farmer would likewise do well to take the contest and the pig crop contest. In addition to the 200 or more complete farm records being summarized on Nebraska farms this year, the two crop contests furnish facts and fig ures on particular phases of farming. In the corn yield contests year af ter year, men have proved the value of legumes as soil builders. Yield peracre has much to do withp rofits but labor cost is also an item. The contest records show that men who used big units of horse power and machinery were able to handle 100 acres of corn as easily as other men handled 70 acres. If more acres are not that more time is left for tending hogs, wilking cows, or any other pro fitahle chore on the farm Many Changes "Changes have come about in Ne braska farming methods in the last generation. Many of the most pro gressive farmers have increased" the production of creamy butted six fold in the last twenty-five years. They have doubled the amount of poultry on farms, he said. Our hog popula tion has increased 2S per cent in the last fifteen years.
