The Eastern States, which are not
half so productive as those at the west,
yield double the returns, in cash, to the
farmer Nevada and the Western Ter
ritories, not producing a supply equal to
the home demand, pay the farmer from
two to five prices for all he can raise,
which makes his business profitable
The value of the land must be deter
mined, therefore, not so much by its
productive qualities as by its market fa-
cilities. The farmer who can get as
much money out of ten acres of ground,
with half the labor, as can be obtained
by his brother from twenty acres, can
afford to pay very much more for his ten
acres than his brother pays for his ten
acres. The saving of one-half the la
Dor is not for one year only, but is
perpetual advantage. The farmer, there
fore, who goes far away from market, in
order to get cheap lands, will discover
that the purchase price of lands should
not be considered so much as the market
facllltles.-TOledO Blade

Climatic Changes.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: There
mysterious chance of climate, Scotland
is becoming year after year less produc-
tive in the matter of fruit. At a meet
ing of the Botanical Society held on
March 13, Mr.. NJ. Nab read a paper on
Further evidence of climatic changes
in Scotland, and mentioned that sever
al old Scotch gardeners, as well as anna
teur cultivators, concurred with his
opinion that many varieties of fruit now
cultivated in that country were by no
means equal TO what they were from
thirty to fifty years ago. Robinson pip
ins and NOnpareil apples are alleged to
be inferior in size and flavor as well as
number to the specimens formerly seen.
The jargonelle pear, once extensively
grown and thoroughly ripened on stand
ard trees in various districts of Scotland,
is now exceedingly scarce. The famous
''Carse of Gowrie" orchards, which half
a century ago were so remunerative, and
in which seventy varieties of apples and
thirty-six varieties of pears were cultiva-
ted, as standards, still exists, but with a
sadly diminished production of fruit.
The Clyesdale orchards are in the same
filling condition.
The damson shows signs of becoming
extinct, and the common black sloe and
bramble berries are in like manner on
the decline. From the old minute books
of the Caledonia Horticultural Society
1t appears that from 1910 they offered
prizes for peaches grown on open walls
without the aid of fire fiues; but after
1917, these were discontinued, and the
generality of the competition peaches
sent are grown on fiued walls or in peach |
houses. Similar painful evidence was

Feeding Sfoclz


For the Jefieronian.
Eds. JEFF. 1t is very important that
farmers should begin to feed early, and
keep their stock an good flesh, if posi-
bic; and in order to do this it will be nee.
essary to feed grain while the weather
is warm, as stock will not eat rough feed
as well now as they will when the wealth
er grows colder. Many farmers failed to
see the necessity of having their stock GO
into winter in good flesh. If you can
keep your stock in full flesh until the
holiday, it will then go through winter
all right, but if it is suffered to get poor
Ill the fall, it will be poor all winter. and
there will be great danger of losing it in
the spring. One bushel of grain fed in
November is worth as much as two
fed in February. If your stock lives to
get through, there is always great loss
In letting them get poor in the winter, as
it takes them half the next summer to
recover the flesh they have lost. This.
is especially true in regard to milk COWS.
Very thin cows will not give much milk
the fore part of the summer. If you
cannot keep six cows well, you had better
keep only three, as three COWS, well kept,
will do you more good than six will,
poorly kept. Then it is so very annoy
ing to see your cows so deathly poor in
the spring, and dairy men will not give
you half so much for them as they
would if they were in good condition.
1t is also very important that you
feed your sheep well; even stock sheep
should have some grain fed them daily.
If you will begin in the fall, and feed
each sheep one gill of grain per day,
with plenty of rough feed and water
sheep need water you will not have
many pelts to sell in the spring. They
will yield you enough more wool to pay
for the grain, and your ewes, if bred at
the right time will raise you nice lambs.
1t is very annoying to have a eve drop
her lamb, and go off and leave it, as
poor ewes very often do. Grain fed TO
sheep, regularly, when wool brings 40
cents per pound, is money well invested
Then, stock in good flesh is fair TO look
upon, and always finds ready market
at a fair price. FARMER

YaIns Of Covered Manure.

At Atvarious times, says the Philadelphia
Press, we have pointed out to our read
ers the profits resulting from covered
manure. instead of allowing it to get
soaked by the rains or dried by the sun,
a. Is generally done. We have given
this adyic. from what we have actually
seen. Wen rough sheds have been
built to cover the manure heap, the
crops fertilized by this rule have been
increased in productiveness sufficient to
pay for the shed covering the first year.
We have never seen any exact figures of
the proportionate values Of covered and
uncovered menures, that We remember,
until tn following, which We find by
Lord Kincaird, Scotch land owner
and farmer. They present the best
statement possible, we think, of the ad
vantages Of the plan:
Four acres of good soil were manured;
two Of them were manured with ordi-
nary barnyard manure, and two with an
equal quantity Of manure from the COW
cred shed. The products of each acre
were as follows:
POTATOES TREATED WITH BARNYARD
MANURE.
One acre produced. .272 bushels.
One acre produced. ...... .292 bushels.
POTATOES MANFRED FROM COVERED
SHED.
One acre produced. ..... .442 bushels
One acre produced. ...... All bushels.
The next year the land was sown with
wheat. when the crop was es follows:
WHEAT on LAND TREATED WITH BARN
YARD MANURE.
One acre produced IL bushels, 10
pounds (of 81 pounds per busheD.
One acre produced AZ bushels, 3S
pounds (of 81 pounds per busheD.
WHEAT on LAND MANFRED FROM COW
ERED SHEDS.
One acre produced 55 bushels, 5 pounds
Cof 61 pounds per busheD.
One acre produced So bushels, AZ
pounds (61 pounds per busheD.
The straw also yielded one-third more
upon the land fertilized with the manure
from the covered stalls than upon that
to which the ordinary manure was sp-
| piled. In view of these facts, we hope
that our farmers will give this subject
their full attention, for their own bene-
fit, and in making shelter or stalls for
stock, it might be done with view to
the increase of the manure under the
cattle, as it is not removed before it is
intended for use, if it is likely to eemain
there for months.

The Profits of Farming.

The farmer who resides within reach
of a good market, where everything he
can produce will command ready sale
at fair prices, and where nothing goes to
waste, has decided advantage over the
farmer who lives farther from market
and only depends upon such staple arti-
eles of produce as grain, stock, etc. The
perishable articles which he cannot
handle, yield the largest profits. The
advantages of a good home market are
well illustrated by the following table,
taken from the last volume of the Agri-
cultural report just issued. 1t shows
the average cash value of farm products
per acre in each State and in the Terri
tories:

Statements and Billheads

business man. They need not cost much
more than the paper, and yet they should
have the business card neatly and t&stfally

yertisement to all who see them The "Jeh- =

notice and at Granger prices"

FORGIVENESS mantle of charity
ought to be thrown around the faults of
our fellow beings. 'Thy sins be for
given thee" should be the answer for us
to give to those who have sinned against
US and wish to be taken back to our bo-
SONS and be as they once were, pure and
sinless. Forgive and forget; memory
will not let US forget, but it is in the pow
er of exalted human benevoIenee. Sad
deniDg scenes Will often press them
selves upon our attention, even when we
do the best to prevent them. So scenes
of harmony between ourselves and our
human relations viii arise in the soul,
notwithstanding the presence and influ-
enee of that principle Of Christian char
ity which should Inspire every human
soul with its divine efTulgenee. Yet
memory, however faithful 10 her trust,
will not prevent us from being Ienient
toward the faults and follies of others
and to forgive their departure from a
true life.
