In spite of British rule, India is vir-

it is now sold' to .3 certain extent, but
how small this is may-be gathered from
the fact that the yearly consumption

LEAKS'DN THE FARM. ‘
“71y Some Tillers of the Soil Fall
\Vhlle Their Neighbors Get
Rich and Prosperous.
One- serious leak on a great .many
farms is the buying of machinery and
then leaving it exposed in all kinds of
weather. I have in mind a farmer who
has a self-binder, corn planter, sulky
plow, walking plow, two eultiva-tors,
two top buggies and two wagons, and
he leaves them standing out in all kinds
of weather. I consider this a. serious
leak and there are many farmers who
do the same thing. Another leak on
many farms is a. lack of proper shelter
for stock. I know men who let their
milch cows stand out in all kinds of
weather and then feed 30 per cent. corn
to warm them up. Another leak is
the very prevalent one of feeding young
stock a ration that will simply main-
tain them. during the winter. ,Many
times we see calves and colts that are
not ten pounds heavier in the spring
than they were at the. beginning of
winter, and practically all the feed they
consumed during the winter was lost.
I once asked a. farmer who follows
this plan how much he thought his
calves had gained during the winter.
, He replied that they had not gained
,: anything except age, but they were
five months older. I fail to see where
the 12 months’ calf that will weigh
500 pounds has any advantage over the
seven months calf of the same weight.
To feed five months without any gain
‘- is a serious leak and one that is too
common with many farmers. Another
leak that is so common that it is the
rule rather than the exception is the
wasting of manure. All manure made
on the. farm should be spread on the
fields, especially on the poor spots. Still
another leak is to try to farm too much
land, and consequently grow more
weeds than corn. I know one man
who grew less than 25 bushels of corn
per acre this year on account. of under-
taking too much; the weeds took the
corn. The same man has 40 acres of
rough land that has a. good bluegrass
sod. He is going to break it up for
corn in the spring, and that will be a
serious leak on his farm, for he has
more land under plow now than he can
attend to, and he will only grow more
Weeds and lose the 40 acres of grass be.-
sides. Then another leak is keeping
an y kind of stock after they have passed
their prime and begin to go down.—
