Shaw) If ever there was an opportune time for the farmers on the prairie to invest in live stuck, that time is now. The northwest never produced u crop lik. that of the past season. While tle price of wheat is less than was expect ed, it is relatively good compared a ill price s paid in recent years, with thi exception of 1914. While no doubt mita of the return will be wanted in °the) ways, surely some of it can be spare( for making a beginning in live Alod by those who have not had an. Th. one obstacle in the way is the higl price which stock commands. . It not so high, however, but that th farmer who has been favored with : big crop of wheat may not spare iron the proceeds enough to pay for a coupl of cows, or a few brood sows or : small bend of sheep. This will cal for some fencing, but the amount call. for need not be large. A beginning WI/ thus be made. The stock will soon in crease, and ere long the farm will 1 , stocked to its full capacity. If the question is raised which kin of stock should be purchased, the :ne- wer is that circumstances should th termine the investment, where there no family sheseor swine may answ, the purpose better. Another man ma prefer to raise horses from the broo mares which are used in doing the woe of the farm. The natural tastes of ti individual should govern also, at lens to some extent. The danger is on the pt of tho- who invest in stock that they will war to purchase more than they should. TIi American farmer seldom wants to b gin in a small way, and there is met' in Audi an ambition, but like an maul steed, it should be firmly kept i place with bridle and bit. It woul be a great mistake for one to go larg. ly• into keeping livestock who is ne well used with the same. The perm, also who does not live on hie farm an who cannot give it close personal at: perviaion should also go slowly wit livestock investments. If the claim is true and it certaiel Is that the areas now devoted to lb growing of grain exclusively will pis better return when 'firmed on tl. mixed farming plan, why.. should it no be thus farmed, and why should no the farmers generally begin to farm i • :lius! A few animals on the far Or ma rry the farmer through in El when the grain crops are a failure. In nearly all areas of the norilieest . ow can be carried for a ear in goo form on the produce of three to four e!, - i land, should the produets grown 1 ti inter rye for pasture, and corn and a`cal fa for fodder. This can be done on e1roost any dry land farm.. The cretin. f torn that row should be worth $75.0.1 per year in the average market. Her en If well reified ahonlel be wort h in a good market at one year ohl. The return from the cow Mill calf for one year should be $125.00. The cow should be kept during that year on the pioduee of live acres.
