Why go on with the old 
wasteful way of farming 
when it costs so little in 
time, labor and money to 
have a perfectly drained 
farm? 
Why let your hillsides 
and sloping fields wash 
and get full of 
gullies? The 
hard rains are 
taking your 
richest top soil 
Here’s the Proof 
“I bought 680 acres of wet land, so wet that nothing could bo 
raised on it but bullfrogs. 
“I want to say that on the land where we could raise nothing but 
bullfrogs before the MARTIN came, we now raise 40 bushels of 
wheat to the acre. I valued this land before using the MARTIN 
at $25.00 per acre. 1 now value it at $126.00 per acre. ’ ’

WHAT IT DOES 
Here are just a few of the wonderful things this 
great tool does perfectly: Cuts open V-shaped 
farm ditches for tiling, irrigation or open surface 
drains. Cleans out old ditches. Makes field 
terraces. Builds roads from ditch to crown. 
Back-fills, levels, throws up levees and takes 
care of other dirt moving jobs. Works In any 
soil. Easy to operate. 2, 4 or 6 horse or trac¬

whole story of the MARTIN.

Pasture and Barn Notes 
Mixing Rations. —We made a mis¬ 
take when we fixed over our barn that 
we did not leave room enough for a mix¬ 
ing floor for feed. As a result we have 
to mix our feed in cramped quarters and 
under conditions where some, of it is 
wasted. There are 'two ways of handling 
this mixing problem: One is the usual 
way of mixing on the farm : the other is 
one which I look to see become more and 
more common, and that will be by install¬ 
ing some sort of a power mixing machine 
in the more progressive feed stores. 
Dairymen axe more and more going to de¬ 
mand rations mixed from the straight 
grains that will make the cheapest satis¬ 
factory combination at the time of mixing. 
The Fall Dairy. —This is the time of 
year when next year’s Fall cows must be 
bred. Because it is not natural for cows 
to breed at this time of year, the success¬ 
ful Winter dairyman must take every 
possible precaution to aid in the battle 
against nature. We like to have our cows 
that we desire to breed gaining. We like 
to have them eating silage and plenty of 
ground oats and oilmeal in their ration. 
If we can get a cow gaining in flesh, even 
though she is milking heavily, the chances 
of getting her in calf we find are much 
greater than \v are if she is losing flesh 
or merely holding her own under the 
strain of heavy production. If the matter 
of conditions were our only problem, 
things would not be so difficult. Unfor¬ 
tunately, we also have the abortion dis¬ 
ease to contend with. In many respects 
this is the biggest single problem we have 
with tho dairy; yet we feel we have it 
pretty well mastered. The solution has 
been good veterinary advice, practical 
cleanliness and good feed and care. 
Dehorning Dairy Cows. —Recently 
we turned three yearling heifers into a 
box stall. In a few minutes we heard a 
crash, and one of them came piling over 
the side of the stall. We put her back 
in and in another minute saw one of the 
other heifers make a savage lunge at her 
with her horns, and only our presence 
prevented the terror-stricken animal from 
repeating the performance. As we have 
been raising our purebreds, we have been 
wishing to leave their horns on them. 
That one object lesson in the box stall, 
however, has settled the question for us. 
Building a Bread Basket. —As we 
talk with successful dairymen, and par¬ 
ticularly breeders of purebreds, in our en¬ 
deavor to learn how to succeed in the 
business ourselves, we find that a lot of 
the successful men either consciously or 
unconsciously are vary particular about 
developing a large capacity in their young 
animals. They seem to be doing this on 
roughage. This leads us to believe that 
in our own pi-actice we have not been feed¬ 
ing our young heifeTs enough hay and 
cornstalks and other bulky roughage to 
develop a sufficient capacity to serve them 
when they become milking cows. 
New Milk for Calves. —It certainly 
does take courage these days to pour out 
two quarts of milk twice a day for sev¬ 
eral little calves. If one stops to figure 
up how much it is worth, he is likely to 
skimp the calves. The only way to do 
is to shut your eyes and turn off the 
arithmetic. We are not going to raise 
quite as many calves as usual because it 
is going to cost so much to feed them 
well. It would be interesting to know 
what other dairymen are doing along this 
line. Certainly, the first practical effect 
of high milk prices is to make it hard to 
feed the calf what it should get.

Hog Cholera 
Is it possible for a brood sow to develop 
cholera after taking her to a boar that 
is in a building where they have been 
using serum and virus in vaccinating 
pigs? F. P. D. 
New York. 
As to the law on such matters, take it 
up with the State Veterinarian, who will 
advise you fully. Meanwhile, better give 
the serum treatment again, as that treat¬ 
ment. without virus, gives only temporary 
immunity. There is no certainty that 
your sows were actually exposed to the 
infection of cholera; but if they were the 
serum should protect them, but the double 
or simultaneous treatment might be given, 
if the State Veterinarian so advises after 
investigation of all the circumstances of 
the ease. One at a distance cannot con¬ 
fidently advise which would be the better 
course in such a ease. A. s. a.
