Wo never saw sinnrtweod grow ( o n
toelght of flvo feet until this year.
If nil flesh Is grass , as It Is , why la
not the meat cater n vegetarian nftcr
oil ?
There are plenty of men still living
who have helped drive both cattle aud
bogs to Chicago on foot
The Cuban grown pineapple IB on
the market tills year In large supply
and at very reasonable prices.
' The tile draining of land results In
making the soil dry In a wet time and
moist In a dry time. It works both
.ways.
Meats are high priced in nil coun
tries England , Germany , France ,
Australia everywhere save In the Ar
gentine.
Just so soon as a woman has learned
how to make good soups not so much
good meat Is thrown out to the pigs
aud chickens.
It Is less trouble to kill off the rabbit
In the vicinity of the orchard than It Is
to let the rabbits alone and try to pro
tect the trees.
We flnd Borne comfort In the fact
that even the best farmers we know
have this season more weeds than they
know what to do with.
i ! No weed that we have to deal with
gets such a grip on the soil as does the
squlrreltail grass. Its hold Is worse
than , that of a mortgage.
The hen which can be made to lay
an egg every day In the year Is much
farther away than the horse that will
trot a mile In two minutes.
While two different crops may be
raised In one year upon the same piece
of land , It Is always n mistake to try
to raise them at the same time.
We know of a man who manages to
keep a family of small owls in his big
bam , arid he tells us that as mice
catchers they beat cats all to pieces.
If a man could take his money with
him when he dies , there are sotno men
In this country whose death would
cause n serious contraction of the cur
rency.
The daisy will run out blue grass ,
and for this reason the men who live
In the blue grass country want to look
out for the coming of this eastern
0 plague.
The rush for land In the northwest
"t continues with unabated vigor , and the
fine crops which are being secured in
all the northwest section are serving
to Intensify It
The Chester White hog does not re
ceive the attention among our hog
raisers to which It is entitled. It is
not to its disadvantage that it Is not
as early a maturing hog ns the Poland-
China.
The wild black cherry is a beautiful
tree for the dooryord. It Is comely and
moderate in habit of growth , has n
rich , glossy foliage and will attract all
the birds In the neighborhood when its
fruit is ripening.
Query. So long as It has seemed best
for the United States to acquire large
areas of sugar producing territory , why
not let this territory be developed to
the fullest extent In supplying the
needs of the American people ?
Crop experts place the value of the
cereal crop alone of 1902 at the enor
mous sum of $2,000,000,000 for the
farmers of the United States. This is
all new created and original wealth
Nft other country on earth ever before
made such n showing.
There Is more to encourage one to
take up the poultry business today
than there has ever been before. Ilav
Ing.tho use of an acre or so of land
almost any one , using ordinary intclll
pence , can take up this business and
bo reasonably sure of a profitable one.
Where Canada thistles have got a
foothold In the west they propagate
not from the seed , which Is infertile ,
but from the sucker roots. The only
reliable way In which to get rid of
them Is to keep them persistently cut
off during the growing period as soon
as a sprout shows above ground.
The battle with the weeds has been
n hard and a long one the past season.
Weather conditions have favored nn
abnormal growth of weeds and the
germination of much seed which has
Iain in the ground dormant during the
dry years. The man who has a gardener
or field free from them In August la
entitled to a credit mark.
. . . . . . .
Th condition of liny In the stack
wrles so much that It IH illlllcult to
Uok-rmlno the exact number of cubic
feet of hay required to make u ton of
hay. Where the stack Is of timothy
and It IH not letw than twelve feet In
height when It has nettled solid about
425 foot will make a ton , while If It Is
of clover ut leant -150 feet will bo re
quired.
The crop experts are guessing on a
2,500,000,000 buflhel corn crop for 11K)2. )
This would mean 70,000,000 tons of
corn , or 2t3.'lm : ! carloads , or10,001 }
tralnloads of llfty earn each. Hut only
i mimll part of this ImmoiiHO crop will
ever be handled by the railways , for It
will seek a market as beef , pork , mut
ton , butter , cheese , milk , wool , poultry
and eggs.
As .wo stood beside a bed of salvlas
.ho other morning a humming bird
came and made bin breakfast from the
ilossoniH , working within one foot of
where wo stood. The marvelous polso
of this bird as he sucked out the honey ,
sustained by a whir of tiny wings ,
; ave some faint Won of the mechan
ism required to overcome the law of
gravitation.
The stuto of Illinois produces two-
Lhlrds of all the broom corn grown In
this country. .lust why wo do not
know , as any of the corn belt soils will
produce good broom corn. Like tolmc-
co growing , the culture of peppermint ,
onions , celery and sotno other of what
may be termed special crops , the busi
ness develops In certain localities and
Is confined to them.
The war between the cattlemen nnd
the sheep herders has reached an ncuto
stage out In the range country. Cuttlu
and sheep cannot be herded on the
same territory , for where the Bhcep
run there the cattle will starve. The
cattlemen are slaughtering the flocks
of sheep and threatening to extermi
nate the herders. There was the same
old trouble In Abrahamlc days.
The name of the owner of the farm
printed upon the rural mailbox In
front of his house Is no little conven
ience to the traveling public. Only
the men who have old , ramshackle
places , with hogs In the dooryard ,
down fences and the mark of shiftlessness -
ness all over , object to It. The man
with a neatly kept farm home Is cred
itably advertised by his name on the
box.
We have found the weeder an utter
nnd complete failure for the cultiva
tion of crops this season , and this not
because of any inherent fault with the
tool Itself , but solely owing to the pe
culiar climatic conditions of the sea
son too much rain. This Is essential
ly a dry weather tool and of no more
value In a wet season than a boat
would be on a dried up lake bed in
Manitoba.
A supposed perfectly worthless house
cat that for long had persisted In mak
ing the front porch by our bedroom
window a trystlng place where duela
were nightly carried on deposited the
scalp and nose of a large rat on the
doorstep one night recently , clone , wo
suppose , to prove that his reputation
was not as bad as we took it to be.
But we are not sure that some other
cat did not kill that rat.
Nineteen hundred and two will prove
a very productive one In spite of nu
merous storms , floods nnd Isolated
crop disasters. A friend tells us
that he has more potatoes this year
on one square rod of ground than he
had on an acre last year , another
that he will get more oats from fifteen
acres this year than he got from forty
acres last year , while the yield of hay
Is more than six times as great as that
of 1001.
The time is not far off when a new
Indictment will bo returned against the
sparrow. When this bird becomes more
plentiful , which will not be long , vast
flocks of them will descend upon the
wheat and oat fields just ns the grain
gets in the dough , and If unmolested
they will literally ruin the crop by
squeezing the pulp out of the kernels.
All over the country a persistent and
organized warfare should be kept up
on this bird.
Six million three hundred thousand
Frenchwomen work for a living that
Is , they do that kind of work which In
this country is usually assigned to
men and not to women. A large per
centage of them work on the farms of
that country and do the plowing , dig
ging , booing , milk the cows , feed the
stock and market the farm produce.
There are plenty of them who could
lay out an American hired man In the
shade when It comes to hoeing pota
toes or pitching hay.
Wo have a friend who Is always a
little behind always behind In meet
ing his financial obligations , behind in
meeting appointments at a specified
hour , behlna getting In his crops , car
ing for them and harvesting them. lie
is always late for dinner , gets left by
the cars , and his whole life is largely n
failure for the simple lack of prompt
ness and punctuality. If your boy is
taken this way , lose no time in taking
the kinks out of him or he will bo
handicapped all his life long.
It quite often happens that the cow
which gives milk only testing 3 per
cent of butter fat will make more but
ter than will the cow whose milk testa
ns high as 5 per cent for the reason
that the 3 per cent cow Is quite likely
to give n much larger flow of milk
nnd keep It up for a longer period. The
quantity of milk which a cow gives
nnd the length of time she maintains
the flow are Important factors In de
termining the value of n dairy cow ,
which men often overlook If her test
Is low.
I ' TIIUKID fiOOO YlCAHfl ,
i The farmers of the country have had
three pnHporoiirt yours. Aside from the
actual profits derived from farm prod
ucts raised and nolil , there has been n
very lar o IntronHo In the value of the
land Itbolf , equivalent to over $1,000
per year for three yours for every man
who owned a hundred and sixty aero
farm. Thin Increase of wealth has been
variously usod. Much of It hits gene
to clear oft the old parasite mortgage ;
much has gene Into bolter houses and ,
farm buildings ; some hns gene to help
the boys and girls through college ; n
largo Hum for more land ; some to glvo
the boys a start ; sotno Into home so-
curltlcs nnd bunk stock , and together
too much Into wildcat Bchemos-mln-
Ing , oil and real estate fakes. The
present good times will continue an
other year at least perhaps longer.
The wise man will Improve his oppor
tunity.
ASK HUH.
Wo wish that every man on the farm
who reads this would JUKI ask his wlfo
what ho could do to make the homework
work easier and the home Itself more
attractive. If this were done , n whole
lot of funny things would como to the
front. One woman would ask for n
woodshed , another would want soft
water , another one a place for the men
to leave their dirty barnyard clothing ,
another a cleaned up dooryard. another
a better chicken house , another a moro
convenient water supply , and not ono
In ton of those women would want any
thing other than that which was sen
sible and practical and which almost
any man might furnish. The Egyptians
required their bondsmen to make bricks
without straw , and there IH just lota {
of the Kiuiio sort of business going on
In many a farm homo today. ,
CHEATING WEALTH.
When a farmer from hla eighty ncro
farm produces nnd soils produce and '
stock to the amount of ? 1,500 , the i
world Is the richer by that amount ,
for ho has created original wealth ;
when the miner digs out and eclla .
$1,500 worth of ore he has done the
same thing ; when the factory takes '
the fanner's corn or cotton or wheat j |
or the miner's ore and by manlpulnt- j I
Ing It gives It an added value the same ,
wealth creating process Is repeated , | '
but when a man buys a horse or a i
farm or any other commodity and
soils It for more than he paid , while i
he may have made money , the world Is
none the richer , for ho lias created no 1
now wealth.
\vox'T HURT Tiinsr.
Where there are moro women and
girls around the farm home than there
ore men and boys It Is all right for the
\
women to take a hand in the lighter
forms of the farmwork. Wo have seen
ns nice nnd pretty a girl as there could |
be found in a whole county , n big sunbonnet -
bonnet hiding her beauty , scaled on a
sulky plow , , driving three big rcrclie- \
ron horses and doing ns nice n job of
plowing as any man could do. This Islets 1
lots better than for her to have laced
herself up tight as a drum in n spring | ,
corset and be working n blue yarn dog
barking at a red moon on canvas while
her mother was peeling potatoes In the
back kitchen for the family dinner.
COST TIIISM $100 EACH.
A syndicate of well to do farmers
came to the conclusion that It would
be for their Interest to invest In a good
stock horse , so a company was formed I
with $2,500 capital , twenly-flve men i
taking a share of $100 each. The '
horse was purchased , a heavy , handI I 1
some , wen groomeu specimen , lie was
bold at the end of the year for $140 ,
ns ho proved to be utterly worthless.
Twenty-five men know moro about the
ways and tricks of the wily horseman
than they did before , and by common
consent the subject is never to bo re
ferred to by any of them at thrashing
bees and church sociables.
ADVANCE IN LAND PRICES.
Every year which passes will make
it more and more difficult for a poor
man to secure n piece of land for a
farm. lie is now almost barred out byi
the high prices of land from all the
older settled portions of the country ,
and If the advance in land values con
tinues for another year there will be
very little cheap and desirable farm
land to be obtained anywhere in the'
country. Men will have to be content
with fewer acres , which will Involve
bettor methods and larger crops , which
in the long run will not bo n bad thing
either for the man or the country.
WORST STOHM LOSSES.
We have a report from the hill coun
try along the Mississippi river which
tells a sorry story of the terrible ruin
wrought to the cultivated fields by the
washing of the unusual Hoods of rain.
These fields have been despoiled of.
nearly all their fertility and seamed
nnd gashed with watercourses many
feet In depth. The damage from this
source , as wo have mentioned before ,
is far greater than all the losses sus
tained by the destruction of crops because -
cause It is a permanent loss aud ono
which can never be repaired.
THY THIS.
A stack of straw can be handled
with less hard work from the ma
chine , be made to occupy less space
and will keep better If a boy on a me
dium sized horse is set to tramping
nnd packing the straw as the stack is
built This packing should bo confined - ,
fined to the center of , the stack , and
then when the stack settles the center
will bo so much higher than the out-
Fide that It will be well protected from
the weather.
