Neighbors As Farm Assets
All of us like good neighbors, folks
who will work with us and with
whom we can work. The rural neigh
borhood has much to do with actual
form values. In buying a farm every
body likes to get Into a good neigh- slightly altered
borhood. Nobody wants, to settle In
a community where brawls,
and feuds are common. . In
Tho self-feeder method of feeding
also saves a great deal of tlmoand
labor. Instead of feeding twoor threo
times a day, all that is needed is to
see that tho feeders are not empty
and that tho hogs have plenty of
water.
There are several types of self
feeders for hogs, but they all employ
the same principle Of lotting the hgg

ing moro than a box with one side
Others hnva several
parts with means of adjusting tho

go over the grading table and grade
quarter blood. This grade was selling
at 68, The fleece was slipped out cor

again. This time it graded three
eighths blood and brought 70 cents.
This makes a difference of 2 cents
a pound for Just tying correctly, or
from 20 to 35 cents more per fleece.
Prof. Nelson, when asked why this
was, stated that when a fleece was
tied correctly with the shoulder wool
grades of stock are most profitable
under tlio new farming era of higher
prices and increased cost of produc

A SCENE FROM A MOUNTAIN TOP.
It was a beautiful scene as wo
turned nnd looked back over the val
ley sot among tho hills nnd moun
tains. Everything looked blight and
fresh. On ono sldo of us rose the.
wooded hills now turning yellow In
tho hazy ntmosphoro of an early au
tumn day. In front lay tho beauti
ful valley -with Its flcldB of ripening
grain, waving peacefully in the gentle
breezes looking Ilko so many fields
of gold. While here and thero
scattored among tho meadows " nnd
flolds woro largo rambling farm
houses, surrounded by groves of fruit
trees. On tho other sldo a sparkling
river wove In and out among tho low
lying roothllls until It was loBt to
sight in the far distance. In tho back
ground tho white-tipped mountains
towered above the peacerul llttlo val
ley giving it np air or protection
against tho outside world.
