ALONG THE 
Seaboard 
the south's newest great railway- 
Come to the prairie country along the 
Seaboard, where land is low priced— 
where beef and pork are made with home¬ 
grown concentrates on year-round pas¬ 
tures! 
\ elvet beans, when planted with corn, 
yield the feeding equivalent of 16 addi¬ 
tional bushels besides an immense amount 
of hay. Cattle harvest their own balanced 
ration—get into finished condition for 
the market. 
The silo can be filled any time of the 
year. Japanese cane yields 20 to 30 tons 
of good silage per acre. Many native 
hays yield 20 tons per acre. No sheltered 
barns are needed. 
FARMERS WANTED!

mock land can be had—where there are 
excellent schools, roads and churches.

Value of a Farm Feed Mill 
May I give a bit of personal experience 
with the home grist mill, lest some un¬ 
wary farmer be misled by the remarks on 
page 1910? We used to pack a load of 
grain every few weeks, spending consid¬ 
erable valuable time in the process, take 
it to mill five’ or six miles away, aud wait 
all day to get the grist, coming home to 
late chores, far more tired than after a 
day of hard work on the farm. My father- 
in-law used always to do his own grind¬ 
ing. and in many ways it looked pretty 
good to us, so we tried it. 
For a number of years we have ground 
our own grain right here at home, and 
are more than satisfied with the arrange¬ 
ment. Considerable custom grinding is 
also done for neighbors, but all our own 
work could easily be done during odd 
times, while the horses rest, or on rainy 
days. Indeed, many of the grists have 
been ground in the evening. The quality 
of the work has always been entirely sat¬ 
isfactory to all concerned. Our little home 
mill turns out the most delicious of gra¬ 
ham and cornmeal for table use. It also 
grinds ear corn, cob and all, for stock; 
and the time and labor it requires would 
not in months offset one of the old-time 
trips to mill. 
Ife we were obliged to go back to the 
old way we would promptly quit farming. 
We meet more and more farmers every 
year who feel the same way. and the num¬ 
bers of small farm mills grows constantly 
larger in our section. Certainly farmers 
need horse sense aud co-operation, but 
they should co-operate among themselves, 
and usually they do. If one man can’t 
afford a mill of his own. several neigh¬ 
bor farmers should, aud often do, own 
one in partnership. The farm mill is fast 
becoming just as essential a part of the 
equipment of a well-regulated farm as the 
plow or the harrow or any tool on the 
place. A farmer who cannot afford one 
most assuredly cannot afford to give a 
day or two- out of each month—himself 
[ and his team—patronizing a distant mill. 
We found the latter to be a luxury we 
were obliged to abandon. 
By the way, no one knows how de¬ 
licious cornmeal can be till he eats some 
of his own homegrown corn, freshly 
ground in his own mill. One would hard¬ 
ly imagine it could lie the same product 
we used to get from the store or feed 
mill. The contributor speaks of the in¬ 
feriority of the “small food grinder,’’ and 
a., doubt it would be inefficient as a feed 
mill. T have two, but the men don’t use 
them ; they use a feed mill purchased for 
grinding feed, and run with a good en¬ 
gine. which is the way all farmers will 
eventually get ground feed. MRS. e. m. a.

Changes in Time 
In traveling across the continent from 
east to west how do you change your 
watch so as to keep it on time? J. B. B. 
Portland, Me., uses Eastern time, 
whereas Seattle. Wash., uses Pacific time, 
which is three hours earlier than East¬ 
ern time. In other words, when it is 1*2 
noon in Portland. Me., it is 9 a. m. in 
Seattle. Wash. The Eastern time zone 
extends as far as Columbus, ().. where 
the time changes to Central time, which 
is one hour earlier than Eastern time; 
the Central time zone extends to Mo- 
bridge, S. D., for example on the C., M. 
& St. I*. By., where the time changes to 
Mountain time, which is two hours earlier 
than Eastern time; the Mountain time 
zone extends to Butte, Mont., for example, 
where the time changes to Pacific time, 
which is three hours earlier than Eastern 
time, and therefore a passenger starting 
from a point using Eastern time would 
furn back his watch one hour on arriving 
in the Central time zone, a second hour on 
arriving in the Mountain time zone, 
and a third hour on arriving in the Pa¬ 
cific time zone. wm. pedrick, jb.. 
Division Passenger Agent. 
Pennsylvania Railroad. 
It would be necessary to set your watch 
back one hour at designated bouudary 
points between each zone. Taking the 
Canadian Pacific Railroad as an example, 
you should set your watch back one hour 
at Fort William, Out.; Broad View. Sas¬ 
katchewan ; Field, British Columbia. In 
other words, when it is 4 p. m. in the 
State of Maine, or any Eastern standard 
time zone point, it will be 1 p. m. in the 
State of Washington. Train employes 
during the day announce to passengers 
that they are in another standard time 
zone and should set their watches back, 
traveling westward, or set them ahead 
traveling eastward, as the case may be.
