‘PrameJfjpe
Cut (Ms with this Combine
If you farm the prairies, an Advance-Rumely “Combine” Prairie Type will
harvest your grain at an amazingly low cost! And here is why:
Saves labor cost—Only three men to pay and feed—instead of a crew.
i
Saves time—Two operations in one. The job done in a few days
■ instead of several weeks. No delays, because this “Combine” beeps
going!
Saves grain—By harvesting skimpy crops at a profit—by saving one
to three bushels an acre.
Saves harvest cost—Reduces cost cf harvesting by 15c to 20c per
bushel, according to owners’ reports.
Never in the history of farming have men been able to harvest prairie crops
so easily, so quickly, and at such an amazingly low cost per bushel. Thous-
ands of users testify to the practicability of this Advance-Rumely “Com-
bine.”
Why don’t you learn of its many advantages? Write us today or come in.
We will gladly give you all the information you want. '

Some Questions

the
of Agriculture.)
Mr. Farmer, ask yourself these
questions. If you can answer all of
them accurately and satisfactory you
are probably prosperous and contented
with your lot. If not—well, try to
answer them anyhow.
What is, the size of your farm busi-
ness?
What part of your investment is in
land, buildings, live stock, machinery,
and other capital?
Are your crops properly propor-
tioned for greatest returns?
Compare Yields.
How do your crop yields compare
with the average yields of the local-
ity?
What classes of live stock return
you the most money?
How do the returns from your live
stock compare with the average of
your locality?
How many acres of crops do you
raire per man? Per horse?
Is your farm so organized that each
part of the business is yielding satis-
factory returns?
How much have you left for your
own labor after deducting from your
total receipts your expenses, value of
labor performed by members of your
family, and interest on your invest-
ment?
How much does the farm contribute
toward your family living?
Strong and Weak Points,
i Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1139-F, pub-
lished by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, is designed to
help you answer these questions intel-
ligently. Then if the answers are not
satisfactory you can more readily find
:the strong and weak points in your
'system of management and make such
changes tlmt the answers next year to
the same questions will prove more
satisfactory. This bulletin includes
Planks for the compilation of an
analysis of the farm business as &
whole and in its parts, and the au-
thors explain how the spaces may be
tided and the summaries made. It is
mailed on request to the Department
of Agriculture, Washington, DO,
only at night. To test a ram, paint
ins brisket with red or yellow ochre
and you can tell whether he serves

using a different color each-week you
can toil inst when a ewe is to lamb
and can give her close attention.

non. He Should receive, at this time,

Surpass Grades in Most
Economical Production of
f Butterfat and Milk.
A succulent ration is recommended
but avoid heavy feeding of roots or
mangels since they bring about blad-
der troubles when fed to rams or
wethers. After the breeding season
is ovei it is only necessary to keep
the ram in medium condition. In most
cases, a hay ration will be enough,
but some juicy feed would be desirable.
Do not pen him up close but permit
him to have ample room for exercise.

Pure Breds Exes! Grades.
( As a matter of fact, after comparing
.the records of 29,397 pure-bred cows
and 71,743 grades in dairy-herd-im-
provement associations, Doctor Mc-
Dowell finds that these pure breds ex-
celled the grades in both production
and in income over cost of feed by
7 to 10 per cent. The results of this
study are discussed in Circular 26-C,
“Comparison of Pure Bred and Grade
Dairy Cows,” just issued by the de-
partment.
On an average, in one year the pure
breds of all ages ate $1,4.32, or 23 per

Millet makes very good bay for
cattle. It is not desirable for horses.
Use common millet. Sow after dan-

Closer Culling in Grades.
Tbe record showed that the pure
breds, on the average, excelled the
grades in milk production unt 1 the
age of thirteen years, in butterfat pro-
duction until the age of eleven years,
and in income over cost of feed pin-
cow until the age of eleven years. Aft-
er these ages the grades slightly ex-
celled the pure breds. Doctor McDow-
ell attributes this to the practice of
closer culling in grade herds than in
pure-bred herds. It is obvious, that
culling out the low producers from
the grade herds is largely responsible
for only producers reaching the aged
group. In pure-bred herds, However,
