Farming on Poor Lands.

The great trouble with farmers is
that theydo not cultivate their land
as well as they might. One reason of
this has been the low price of produce
And now that we are getting good
prices, the land is in such poor State
that too many farmers have nothing
to sell. | know farmer who had six
acres of peach blow potatoes, which
yielded him 250 bushels, all told. This
was not owing to the rot, or to bad
season, but solely to poor farming,
past and present. The land has never
been MANFRED, and the potatoes this
year were not half cultivated He
works the farm ON shares" The
profits, both to the owner and farmer,
will not be exorbitant even If the po-
tatoes bring 81 90 "a bushel. But if,
on the other hand. the crop had been,
as it might, 200 bushels per acre-say
l,2OO bushels, the extra yield at this
price, would have paid for little ma
nure, and good deal of cultivating.
And this was all that was needed Wol

has always picked them with his beef
