MIXED FARMING.
In bad or indifferent seasons the man who farms on a proper system, in which stock feeding finds a place, stands a lesser chance of actual monetary loss than the .farmer who has no pre-conceived method of diversifying production. It is frequently noticed that fanners will discontinue growing a certain crop because market rates have been weakened by largo production or other causes. It is. as the Ashburton Mail says, difficult to make a farmer realise that in (these days of marketing facility he may cater for other largo'ami settled demands by sending his grain to market in the form of wool or''mutton. Such a method should be convincing enough when it is shown that even a few ounces of oats will make a wonderful improvement, in the condition of the sheep in a few weeks.
