Kmll Plowing ! for Soma Kind, of Uad Very Deairable Be Liberal with (hel'ovi -The ' Lltlla Farm WrU Tilled" Low Yield of luro. fall riowlnc- A great deal bad len written both In fa. or of and in opposition to plow ing la the fall. A large part of this writing has been done by practical farmers who have based their opin ions upon the results of many tests of the subject regarding which they have expressed their views. The writers were fully qualified to judge ami their reports are certainly worthy of consideration, At first glanie it seems as if one of the parties mak ing these conflicting reports must be in the wrong, i ut when we take into account the great variation there is in the mechan cal tondition of the soil in di erent localities, and sometime in different fields of the same farm, and remember that s in ilar causes aJect these diver.-e soils very differently, we can readily un derstand that though the opinions are directly oppo-ed to each other both may be correct. It is undoubtedly true that some soils are Dot benefitted, either me chanically or otherwise, by fall plow ing. The writer once helped subdue a field which had not been plowed for a long period and which was well filled with the roots of coarse grass. The plowing was commenced lu the tail but was not finished until spring. The part plowed lu the fall, though c.Hturally lik. the remainder of the iield. proved much more diilicult to cultivate t.ian that which was turned over in the spring and at once fitted for planting. With some soils the result wnu.d have been exact'y oppo site and the part plowed In the fall would have been much easier to work t an the other. Then there are soils which are naturally, light and dry the fertility of which is Impaired bv plowing In the fall; and fields which arc liable to wash, may be, and often have I cen, seriously injured by work ing at th s season. On the other hand, there are soils, such as stiff clay and heavy loams, which are greatly benefitted by being plowed id the fall. A freer circula tion of the air is secured, the surplus water is remo.ed much mere readily than it can be from an unplowed field, and much of the soil will be finely pulverized by the frost All those things will lie beneficial and there will be the additional advantage of having the land in condition to work much ear.ier In the spring than It co. ild be If it were not plowed In the fall. Then, too, the work of plowing can be more easily done in the fail than It can be In the spring when the warm weather, which often comes suddenly. Is very exhausting to the teams. resides, the spring Is always a busy season and if left until then the work Is likely to be jierformed with less care than Ills if done during the comparative leisure of late autumn. Consequ. ntly. though fall plowing is not to be indiscrim inately adopted, and on some soils should never be practiced, It is for some kinds of land and under certain conditions, very desirable John E. Head, in Agricultural Kpstomist rimutl Farnm. "Vhen the farmers of the United States fully under.-.tand that real prosjierity attends the "little farm well tilled" we shall see a larger num ber of small farms. One of our most successful truck farmers (now a re tired money lender) had only thir teen acres. He raised a large family of children, giving to one son a"j,ooo farm and to another a $2,500 farm, and always had a good large bank deposit and money out at Interest, and all from the cultivation of only thirteen acres of land. One year he sold 1 , 1 00 worth of lettuce from one acre of land. As all the labor on said acre was performed by members of the family there was nothing to charge against the crop, except seed and fetillzer, which left nearly all the gross sales as the profits, .sup pose such a man had attempted to cultivate 130 acres instead of thirteen, where would he bo now? surely not lending money. His case illustrates clearly the advantage of intensive farming. In his case the nurnl er of acres (thirteen) brought no bad luck lt we can get four times the present number of farmers at work on the same number of acres as at present are under cultivation, the prosperity of the farmer will be assured. Of course, we know there are sections of the country where, from the nature of things, the farms must tie larger that at other places. Hut if the old estates of the : outh were cut up Into four, six, or even ten smaller farms, and each subdivision occupied by a good worker, we should speedily see the ! ontliern "wilderness blossoming like the rose." The trucking sec tions of the outh, as well as those further North, have reached the stage to sliow most clenrly the truth of the ttatemcnt that t he intensive farmer will be found doing a successful busl-ie-8 at he old stand long after the extensive neighbor has gone out" or the work. Not more farmers, but belter, are now needed. Virginia (Cor. ) Country Gentleman. He Liberal Willi I lie C'otv. There is no foolishness worse than that of I c ng stingy with cows., lt Is an attempt to gel something out of nothing, which no or has and never can be done. ( ows that are fat will, If they are good milkers, gradually lose the r surplus fat, which will go Into the nil IV pall. I ut aside from this, e erv ounce of eith r fat or al bumen tn the milk that a cow fur nishes mm l rcv rh"uugh the food she rits. C P. Goodrich in Hoard's Dairyman relates the following inci dent, showing how thort sighted farmers may be: '-There was a man on a farm near nay place; he had the farm four or five years. He was paid MOU a ve.ir to run the farm by the owner. The owner asked me to talk 1 to him about taking goid care of the cows, feeding, etc I talked to him about feeding, watering, cleaning, and tak ng care of them, and he did first rate with the cows. Now this man thought that because there was so much money ma le keeping cows that he would run in deiit for the farm, so he bought it He had foiue good cows, but do you suppose he kept on feeding the way he had been.' .No, indeed. 1 asked him what he got from those cows, and he tells me that fS4 was all be got ter cow, and he says, 'I wish I was Dot so poor, so I could feed.' I tell him he will al ways be KHir If he doesn't feed. I teli him to run in debt and get some feed, or else kill bis cows and be done with it" IUw Yield of Corn. It is surprising how low the aver age yields of corn are, taking the country as a whole. Twenty-two to Z4 bushels per acre Is the yield re ported for 1 -!)L', and yet with good culture and manuring yields of more that loo bushels of shelled grain have been attained. No crop has its yield iucieaed more certainly than corn by manuring and thorough culture. The soil cannot I e made too rich for corn, as it easily may for any of the smaller grains. The average yield of this crop is, therefore, a fair test of the Increas3 or decrease of soil fer til.ty. It is doubtless growing hard er to secure large aim crops than it used to lie. The longer land is cul tivated with poor management the less vegetable matter it contains. So long as soil is full of its original supply of decaying roots good corn crops are growa Now the old con ditions must be supulied by manure and the plowing under of clover. How to Repair Fencepofltit. An exchange tells of a careful farmer who, when his grape trellis josts rotted off, dug down Into the earth where the post was still solid, and then cut the post half In two a foot or fifteen Inches below the ground and then fastened to this half an upright post of the height de sired, if the post below was mostly rotted off, he used to reverse the post, putting the top side In the ground and then mortise to It above the sur face. In this way he made each post do double duty. The rotting off of posts is almost always just at the surface, and by putting bolts through each half and thus fastening them together the end will last as long as did the original posts at the surface. Making More Iaa Meat. The Irishman's notion that he could make a streak of fat and a streak of lean in his. pig by stuiTing one day and starving the next seems to prevail yet among certain farmers. They starve their pigs through the early part of their life after weaning, and then on a poor frame at the ajze of a year or 18 months they pile on all the fat they can by feeding corn. Pork so made must cost more than it can be sold for. Thrifty growth from the beginning, with milk and wheat middlings as the main feed, will keep pigs always fit to kill, and yet always having a due proportion of lean meat. It is the kind of feed that Is responsible for the character of the flesh it produces. LI ve Htork Notes. The careful farmer provides shelter cf some kind for all of bis stock. Ik a young sow is bred, she should have a good rest before she is bred again. Many a farm can be run to a bet ter advantage without a dog than without a pig. Imhiopkr feeding is the cause in nine cases out of ten of sickness v uong the horses. liiiKEuiNG too young is rather apt to check development than to stamp it on the offspring. Gkound oats and rye, with a little commcal added, makes a good ration for the young brood mares. . Tun surface of the body constant ly gives oil heat and the colder the air the more heat given off. Bran, when Its manorial value is considered, is one of the cheape-t feeds that can be fed to animals. Thkke is considerable difference in the appearance of a lean, thrifty pig and a lean, poverty stricken one. Nati ke's way with all young ani mals is to push growth to make bone and frame at the expense of flesh. Evkhy successful stock feeder knov4rhow necessary it Is for an ani mal fattening to be regular at its feed. The shorter we can make the corn feeding time In the fall, the les of hard labor for the men and teams on the farm. Ik you want the good of the calf, above all else you will let it have its mother's milk: from nothing else will it thrive so well. In order U make good beef and make it early, the steady feeding of the most suitable loods from the very first Is very necessary. D.i Noy allow dug wallows to be made around the watering tanks, as troughs; in addition to the fllthincss, there is danger of Injury from falling later on. The watering of the horses, and, in fact, of all kinds of stock, is of more importance than is usually at tached to it and care should be taken to have the arrangements as clean and comfortable as possible.

Europe's annual outlay for w:ir li'e purposes has been continually growing for more than twenty years, and is now much greater than former generations supposed the peo le c.uld endure, t-ays the Youth's Com panion. Many persons have expect ed that the armament must eventual ly bankrupt Rome of the govern ments. Or, at all events, it has been feared that some government, seeing bankruptcy sure to come if armed peace continued, would desperately bring on war. The reasoning in such a case would His supposed, be this: National ruin will come If we cannot pay our way because, in that case, we should have to reduce our forces, and 60 lie at the mercy of neikhbors not yet bankrupt; nothing worse than national ruin cau come of war; we might beat our op ponents, and force them to pay us some great amount of money; finally, the war would prooaMy become gen eral, and be so destructive that ths nations would afterward consent to a general disarming, and tiius relieve us of the military burden. But a distinguished English states man, well versed in such matters, declares that it is a popular error to suppose that the European govern ments are becoming less able to pay for their forces. He says Italy is the only great power In such danger, and that France, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia are all more capable than formerly of meeting the military expense. No doubt the English statesman is correct so long as be confines his at tention to the condition of national treasuries. But this does not show that the.military expenses are not ruinous. It proves nothing except that the dnance ministers have suc ceeded in increasing taxes faster than the war ministers have increased army expenses. The effect of the armaments is not shown in depleted public treasuries so much as ia masses near starvation. A treasury may be very full, and a people very empty. Such a condition was often seen in France under the monarchy, and often in Oriental countries. But that an empty peo ple can long continue to till a treas ury Is disproved by the evidence of all history. It is notorious that the masses in Italy were never poorer than now. Travellers through the country are shocked by the desperate poverty of a people taxed almost beyond endur ance. Over great districts of Rus sia the situation of the multitude is frightful In France and Germany. Socialism, the political creed of those who find life scarcely worth living, advances apace. Europe, including comparatively wealthy England, has seldom seen strikes so great and poverty so dis tressing as of late. The diseases that spread from lack of nutrition and comfort stalk over the continent These things explain the prosperous treasuries of the present On almost every article of human consumption taxes have been laid for military pur poses and milit iry debts. While the wealth of every country has been increased by modern inven tions, the musses of Europe have not been permitted to enjoy their due share of the gain. It has been taken from them by the skilful devisers of taxation, and spent in ships, guns, uniforms, powder, torpedoes, autumn man i uvres and brilliant military dis plays. I nder this strain a re-kindling of national animosities is apparent It was hoped by the last generation that race hatreds would gradually die out But nothing is more striking In these days than that the continental peoples are quick to resent every movement of a neighbor that can pos sibly be construed as defiance. Noth ing but eagerness for war could re sult from the feeling of each nation that it is taxed to wretchedness in being compelled to go armed to the teeth because its neighbors do so. This general exasperation Is what Is likely to bring on war soon, and not the lack of treasury funds. Tale of the Strip. "We were all waiting to hear that starting gun go off, and, thoutrh there was a lot of cussln' goln' on, it was done under the breath, and things were quiet like and hushed," said a returned Cherokee boomer to a Kansas City Times reporter. "1 was standing on the platform and wond ering how it would all end, when 1 saw a man shake his partner's hand and start to run into the open spice. Somebody yelled, and a soldier, toho was standing near me looked up and saw the 'sooner' running. He called on him to halt, but the sooner' was in a hurry and didn't stop. Then 1 saw the soldier pull up his gun and take aim. Just as the 'sooner's' partner rushed up to the bluecoat and shouted: "Don't you fire at him; he Is my brother, and if you hurt him I'll All you full of lead.- The soldier never as much as winked, but lust pulled the trigger of his gun. I saw the flash, and 1 knew the 'sooner' was hit because he tumbled on his face. The smoke had hardly cleared away when there came another crack of a rifle, and the soldier dropped, with blood pouring out of his head. The Sooner's' brother had kept his word. The train started then, and I don't know whether they caught the murderer or not" Which Had the Beat of It. There is a man in Boston (says the i Budget) who is far beyond the finan cial condition denominated "well-to-do," but he has a great fondness for an old soft bat, and at bis summer resort insist on wearing one. A certain young lady undertook the lib erty of taking exception to his head , gear, and asked btm why he wore It Mr. A looked at her reproaui- fuRv. -'I dress well as lean afford to." he answered. The lady did not iiov7 h!s real financial status aod was consc ence-stricken. But in a week or so she found it out and de termined to be avenged. Her oppor tunity came after their ietu:n to town. Mr. A w is t b- her es cort to some tunctiob, and when she came trailing down the stairway in a most fetching evening-gown, be made some remark that gave her the long -e'esired opening. There was a touch of triumph, minified with reproach, in her tone, as she answered: "I dress us well as I can afford to " But the triumph was of short duration, for Mr. A only answered aoftly: "Ves, you bet you da" Neglect of Infants. A matter that is of great import ance in the successful rearing ol children is, to know how to conserve the vitality In a feeble child. The same management that would be suited to a robust ittle fellow would be altogether too heroic for one with leeble vital powers. The one child would require more warmth, greater regularity in the matter of feeding, stricter attention to the quality of the food, and, in fact, extra care in every way. These feeble children w.ll not stand a great deal of bath ing; but frequent band-rubbings, gently administered, do them a vast amount of good. They should be care fully protected from all excite nent, and from all disturbing influences allowed to vegetate, in fact with as slight disturbances to their de.icate anatomies as posdble. In this re spect there is such a thing as whole some neglect; many babies are over handled and over-nursed, and envel oped in such an atmosphere of anx iety that their thriving, when, by chance, they do, is a miracle, .lust as you shouldn't pull a young plant up by the roots to ee If it is grow ing, you shouldn't snatch a baby from its pillow, and begin to fondle and caress it the moment lt opens its eyes. They ought also to be taken much into the open air and sunshine as they grow older they need rather active exercise, not too much exposure to cold or heat, and very little confinement in the school room or elsewhere. It is by extreme care in all these so-called little th ngs, that the delicate child often times matures into a fairly strong man or woman, and lives to a good old age. Demorest's Family Maga zine. I Coal That Kxplodes. I An unknown and pow rful explo 1 sive appears to be concealed within coal from a newly-opened mine near Cotnox, British Columbia. Some weeks ago an explosion occurred , aboard the steamship Barracouta '; loaded with Ooruox coal. The mis hap was attributed either to gas or dynamite. i W hen the vessel d ischarged her cargo every bu. ketful of coal was carefully inspected with the result of ascer taining that none of the coal had been heated, thus disposing of the gas tlieory, and that none of the coal was shattered. This effectually com bated the dynamite theory. How ever, the presence of sulphur was dis covered. Last week an explosion occurred aboard the steamship San Mateo, which loaded at the same mine, under exactly the same mysterious circumstances, with an equal amount of damage as the Barracouta's mis hap. Tne coal bad been In the hold less than forty-eight hours. Experts have been engaged to make examina tions of the coal, with a view of con necting the sulphur with the cause of explosion. I This much is known: A secret, : potent force exists in this coal not ki own to other coals ot commerce. The problem to be solved is the dis covery of the explosive agent, and the chemical process by which its de structive power is exerted. Mining Press. Quibbles of the Law. .A man was indited for burglary, so the story goes, and the evidence clearly proved that he had cut a hole throueh a tent In which several per sons were sleeping, and then insert ing his head and arm through the hole, had abstracted several articles of considerable value. It was argued by the prisoner's counsel that inasmuch as the man had not actually entered the tent with his entire body, he had not com mitted the offence charged, and therefore must be discharged. The judge, in his charge to the jury, toid them that in case they were not satisfied that the whole man was involved in the crime, they might bring in a verdict of guilty against as much of him as was thus involved. The jury, after a short period of consideration, found the riL'ht arm, the right shoulder and the bead of the prisoner guilty of burglary. Thereupon the judge sentenced the right arm, the right i-houlder and the head of the prisoner to imprison ment at hard labor in the state prison for two years, remarking, with a half-glance at the discomfited coun sel, that as to the rest of bis body he might do with it whatever be pleased. !
