It is a well established fact that the farms that fatten live stock are farms of fattening land. The soil needs feeding aa well as the animals. Iowa farm lands do not need commercial fertilizer, but they do need more grass and more barn yard manure. A

TWO STORY FARMING

NECESSITY WILL SOON MAKE IT COMMONPLACE IN IOWA.

Doubling Profits by Growing Two Crops at Once—Fertility of Soil Not Impaired if Crops

Are Rotated.

BY A. G. M'CORMICK. Two story farming is new in Iowa, but necessity will soon make It commonplace. We are now using every means to get the best seed and the best stand of every crop we can and the practice of farming for money is becoming more Intensive. Just as we always have a crop of clover coming on under the small grain so will we soon have a highly paying crop coming on between the corn rows.

How many tlmea while plowing the corn the last time have wo stopped in the middle of the field and looking around at the clean ground wondering if the stalks of corn really needed all the space they were using. There was not a weed on the ground and were it not so much trouble we might have turnips growing all over the Held. But then what would we do with them and anyhow there was plenty of room in the potato patch to raise all the turnips we could eat.

There are several crops that pay well for stock and can be grown without much work. Rape for example, of the Dwarf Essex variety, if sowed in the corn at the last cultivation at the rate of about four or five pounds per acre will make excellent returns in pork or mutton. If the stand of corn is poor it is particularly valuable, not that it furnishes a crop for the bare land, but that It makes a good fall pasture. The stand of corn does not need to be poor for the rape to be good, for In practice the places where the corn is thickest and strongest are the places where the rape grows best. Many farmers have profited handsomely by pasturing lambs, wethers or even old ewes in cornfields after the rape was large enough to browse. If the corn has not been blown down the sheep will do no damage, but will strip off the lower leaves which are partly cured, along with some of the foxtail which will tend to balance the rape. And a minor reason which results is the cleaner field, hence leas unpleasant husking. Rape for a supplement In the business of hogging down corn Is one of the best feeds yet found. There is practically no extra work to grow It and the returns in pork are excelled only in the fattening pen. Shoats averaging ninety pounds turned into a small lot of corn about September 10 in which there is a good stand of rape will make surprising gains from the start. The prac tice of hogging down corn is a good one as many farmers know, but the results can be doubled, or nearly so, iX M-o is there to add Its variety and

LIVE STOCK'S PLACE IN IOWA AGRICULTURE

Importance as Permanent Feature of Successful Agriculture Is Strongly Urged—Farms That Fatten Live Stock Are Farms of Fattening Land.

Group of Hereford Steers at Iowa Agricultural College:

By C. F. CURTISS.

Dean Division Agriculture, Iowa State College. The farmers of Iowa will do well to give special attention to the Importance of live stock as a permanent feature of successful agriculture. The old Scotch maxim, "Market the products of the farm on foot rather than In the bag,"' cannot be Ignored without sooner or later paying the penalty of declining fertility. It is contended by some that soil fertility can be maintained without live stock. This may even look plausible In theory, but we hve no record of any considerable area where a productive soil has been maintained without live stock, it is not likely that the Mississippi valley will prove an exception to the rule. We have depleted our soil too long already by exporting grain and the byproducts of our mills. All of these by-products and a much larger share of the grain ought to be converted into meat and dairy products on the farms of the United States, instead of going to enrich the farms of foreign countries to the detriment of our own.

system of farming that affords mora grass and more barn yard manure is one that will return a larger output of grain from smaller areas of tillable land. It is a system that will sustain the productive capacity of the soil. It is a system that conserves the greatest of all natural resources—soil fertility. it *,

There is seldom a time when the crops of the farm cannot be fed to good farm animals, when properly handled, at greater profit than to haul them to the elevators. In many instances the returns are from 50 to 100 per cent greater than from selling grain. Sometimes they are lower, but the immediate returns are not the only consideration. We

have

come to

a period when all the products of the farm must be utilized. The corn fodder and the straw must not be wasted. They must be largely used on the farm. To build silos and increase

the

amount of live stock will afford a way of utilizing these products that will enlarge the output of the farm and add to its fertility and productiveness. It is possible by this system to have more grain to sell and more to feed, than under

a

ing grain alone

system of sell­

and

wasting

the

its feeding value. In a lot of one acre nine pigs averaging 92 pounds apiece made 634 pounds of pork from September 10 to November 17. This lot had a vory average stand of rape, in fact only around the edges was the rape very good, but the corn was as good or better than the average. The returns if figured low were close to $45 or $50 and the only labor expended was the time it took to water the hogs. Therefore the profit from that acre of corn would inspire most any farmer to sow more rape next year and hog down more corn.

There is another crop to use with corn which is close to rape, but which takes slightly more work to raise and this is soy beans. These must be sowed or drilled in the corn rows and plowed with the corn. They should be drilled about as soon as the corn is planted and one inch shallower, henoe will not injure the corn hill. This requires that all corn be ploweJ one way, but the beans ibake a good crop and the results in pork it the corn in hogged down pays for the trouble. An acre of corn last fall which was scarcely more than twothirds as good as the acre in which the rape was sown made 451 pounds of pork from September 10 to October 29. While this in money value is $15 below the returns from the other lot it was due largely to the poor stand of corn.

Also it would be possible to use soy beans, the Early Yellow variety always, for planting in the corn rows if the corn were to be cut for silage. The binder will get most of the beans as they stand up well and they add much to the feeding value of the silage.

Cow peas are also good for hog pasture, but just as good for the silo, mainly because they pack in better than soy beans. The peas should be drilled in the corn rows Just as the beans were. One-half bushel per acre, at a cost of $3 per bushel, will make a good stand and cause very little trouble in cultivating the corn. The best variety is the Whipporwill. When cut with the corn binder they are in Just as good a stage as the corn to make good silage. The value of a crop of this sort is the increase of protein which the peas and beans carry. Corn carries the fattening properties, but these add much and If put in the silo we should remember that the old cow does not need 35 or 40 pounds next winter, but five pounds less will answer her requirements. Also less gluten feed and less oil meal will need to be bought.

These are crops which all farmers should look to for the most profit and while the two story farming idea is coming sooner or later it need not deplete the soil of its fertility If the rotation is handled intelligently. Figures from past experiences show its value and the many corn growers who are in a position to try the plan this season of making a little more profit of the space betweeu the corn rows, if they do so intelligently, are quite sure to make money.—Iowa Agriculturist.

The Fireproof Roof

Sparks or even live coals have no effect on a Vulcanite roof. It is recognized by the fire underwriters as a safeguard against loss, and this feature alone makes it worth many times its cost in times of emergency.

But while your roof may be called upon to withstand fire once in a lifetime, it is called upon to resist the weather every day. Frost and rain, and hail and sleet, and snow and drought and heavy winds all combine every year in an attack on your property.

The five best ready roofings in the United States were placed on test freight cars by the Harrunan lines. These test cars were run all over the country for a period of over two years. The roofs had to stand every variety of weather the country can produce and a continual fire test in the shape of hve spark* and coals from the engine.

No Painting ^Repairs

Woven Roofing'

was the one roof that made good and was officially adopted by the Harriman lines for freight cars. The Hock Island lines also use Vulcanite as a result of a similar test. It is a significant tact, that without lepairs or paintine of any kind, the test cars are still in use.

Your buildings will never be called on to resist any more severe tests than these freight cars were exposed to and the fan that Vulcanite alone Mirvtved out of the five acknowledged roofing leaders of the country should be a strong recommendation to you, to at least investigate Vulcanite before you buy another brand.
