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 do the work. Some of them ore noth ing moro than a box with one side Others hnva several parts with means of adjusting tho fusses i opening for different kinds of feed, flow. They vary box to whole self-feeders.

I saw. a poorly tied fleece go over the grading table and grade quarter blood. This grade was selling at 68, The fleece was slipped out cor rectly tied and went over the table 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 tion. Twenty-one requests for location of various classes of pure bred stock were received at tho office of the county agent last month. This month inquiries for 6 sires, 2 small herds of h'.gh grade shorthorns and a carload of high grade Hereford heifers have been received. Good stock Is scarce and hard to locate and so far stock for only the tlonts. Mt M. Peery Drug Co.

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.
