Unfortunately, how- ' ever, that Is the first "good intention" permitted to lapse, observations 1 by the United States Department of Agriculture have shown. Valuable in the Future. For the farmer, the diary will present a record of farm happenings and personal experiences whlcn will be ?? a# ft i a VAIUQD16 111 me luiuie guuuuv.i> vi uiu business. If, when he finds his alfalfa field swarming with grasshoppers, be can look back In his diary to a summer 10 years before and find the poison-bait formula that controlled the Insect then, he will save much valuable time. He may wish to know the exact location of a tile drain that was laid down when he was h youngster. If the eveut was noted In his own, or his father's diary, a 10-minute perusal will give blm more definite Information than a day's digging with a spade. There are dozens of farm problems encountered every year that might be solved more easily, If the farmer had access to a complete chronological history of his property. The diary may be given a promlent place In the bookkeeping records of | the farm business. Generally spenkIng there are three purposes to be served by farm accounts: 1. To determine the farm* lnvest' ment, receipts, expenses, and the net income of the business. 1 1 2. To furnish the net returns from any Individual farm enterprise and to supply specific information as to its ' details. 1 3. To obtain a memorandum of what , other people ota you and what you ' owe them. The blank forms necessary for a simple accounting system can be worked out by the farmer himself, or he can apply a system recommended by his county agent. He also can obj tain Information direct from the office of farm management and farm economics, United States Department 1 of Agriculture. The chief advantage of a farm accounting system, which ' is a part of the farm diary, is In the additional interest furnished by the I t Make the Keeping of the Diary a Part ? of Each Day's Routine. , personal Items. The diary supplies t Items of supplementary Interest which usually are left out of the accounts. ! Without the diary, the task of keep> lng the books of the farm business j becomes dry and uninteresting. , Only persistency and practice will , make one an adept at writing a diary. The only rule which can be followed ! Is that the entries must be kept Interesting. and In choosing Ob lnter, esting high light In the duy's work , one must have an eye to the future, , as well as to the present. It Is lm[ portant to write the records regularly. Muke entries In the diary every . evening at a pertain time, and con, sider It as a part of the dally routine. . Once the owner commences to slight i his diary, Its failure Is certain. Best Materials Essential.

It Is a mistake to ' think a small blank book Is sufficient. The limited size of the sheets makes writing cramped and uncomfortable and detracts from the pleasure of writing up the record. While a diary can hardly supply the required amount of bookkeeping for a large and extensive farm business, It does record facts and figures that are never preserved In any other form. ALFALFA SEED THIS SEASON According to Reports to Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates Production Is Larger. A somewhat larger production of alfalfa seed this year than last is'Indicated by reports to the bureuu of markets and crop estimates. Dry, hot weather interfered with the crop in portions of the Southwest, but elsewhere the crop Is larger than usual. * ? 1 "T GRAZING MAINTAINS SOIL PRODUCTIVITY Many Pastures in Virginia Have Never Been Plowed. ??? j (Vhere Beef Cattle or Sheep Are Grazed All of Resulting Manure le Left on Soil?Lime and Phoephate Are Favored. / ? v [Prepared by the United 'State* Department of Agriculture.) There Is no system of agriculture hat uinlutalns the productivity of the soli better than grazing, according to observations of the United States Department of Agriculture, especially vhere the animals are kept contlnnaly on the pastures. Some of the best pastures In southwestern Virginia mve been grazed for at least 100 years. Many of them have never been plowed.

Qrazlng la not sufficiently remunerative to Justify the liberal use of commercial fertilizers, and very little Is ever used in the bluegrass region on the pasture lands. In England it la not uncommon to apply basic slag at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre to permanent grassland. Some farmers in the bluegrass region of Virginia are beginning to use lime and some form of phosphate on their pastures. Thla improves the stand of grass, but there are no data available to show whether the increase will cover the expense. In the absence of any experimental data,1 * every farmer is advised to experiment on his own fields in a small way. At* application of 500 pounds of acid phoe* phate or of bone meal to a half acrein an old pasture will soon stiow: whether It Is advisable to use fefc tilizers. If this quantity makes a j marked Improvement in the stand or grass, less might be beneficial; MILK GOAT INDUSTRY GROWS - . ?'?' " Animal win ouppi/ ?viiim?? of Milk for Average Family-* "j Easily Kept. The production of milk goats ha* for a great many years been an Important feature of the live-stock Industry In many European countries, but It has never secured a very strong foothold In the United States. In this country the goat has always been an animal of more or less ridicule, as ; the majority of the people do not realize the possibilities of certain breeds or types that have been bred for many years along definite lines, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. In continental Europe milk goats are largely used by families unable to keep a cow, and great benefit Is derived from having fresh milk at hand and at a low cost. In those countries the goat Is often spoken of as the "poor man's cow." During the past several years considerable Interest has been manifested in the milk-goat Industry In this'country. The fact that the goat will supply sufficient milk for the average family and can be kept where It would be Impossible to keep a cow Is beginning > to appeal to many people, especially those living In the small towns and the suburbs of the large cities. The milk-goat Industry Is only in its Infancy in America, the department specialists say. This type of goat is adapted to our country, and the Industry should become of greater Importance every year.

Planar chips or sawdnst make satisfactory Insulation. It is important that the Ice be stored when the temperature is low so that the cakes can be frozen together by the addition of water. Ventilation at the ridge, or by means of slatted openings at each gable end, Is very Important, especially If the sun shines upon the roof. Water from the melting Ice should be allowed to seep away through cinders or gravel or the ice will melt rapidly in warm weather." Most Expensive Sire. The most expensive sire Is the * scrub. " I
