Small Farms in Favor.

The New York Bulletin says that
there seems to be a marked tendency
among California farmers to abandon
tue old ranch system, by which i'm
mense tracts of land were oyerrun and
but partially occupied without tilling or
improvements, under the ownership and
management of one party, and to sub
divide them into small farms. This is
but the natural result of enhanced value
of farming land, and is what has always
occurred in the progress and develop
ment OF new countries. Yet, it's appli-
cation to California will mark new era
in the farming Industries of the Pacific
coast. The usual causes have forced
this step for, in addition to the en-
hanced lost of land, it is found to be 80
much more profitable to till and culti-
vate es we'll in California as elsewhere.
In other words, the same amount of
labor and capital thus expended return
greater interest on the outlay than when
made in the old way upon the ranch
system. 1t is even admitted that the
grazing industries of that state find it
mere profitable also to adopt the same
system, and already it is said that the
immense hocks of sheep are beginning
to disappear, as have the great herds
of cattle that formerly roamed over the
unoccupied and even unowned plains of
the state.

ing color test in Judging jersey COWS.
Col. WarinP, in the American Agrlcul-
turist does the same thing, The Eng
lish writer says: I have owned hun
dreds of Jersey stock, and have never,
as rule, found the whole colored such
largo producers as many parti- colored
ones in fact, by fur the most butter
producing COW have ever possessed,
was not only parti- colored, but the most
ugly and ungainly beast Of the lot, yet
her stock have never failed to show
their large butter making qualities.
The true type of a Jersey COW is in fact
an animal that will not make meat.
DEPTH OF Soil AND DROUGHT is
one of David Dioksons's maxims that
power in crops to resist drought is in
proportion to the depth of the soil. He
says: A cotton plant to stand two
weeks drought, must have four inches
soil and six inches subsoil; three
weeks inches soil and same subsoil;
four weeks-eight inches and the same
subsoiling. Plough cotton, he adds,
every three weeks and let the hoes come
ten days behind, cleaning it perfectly.
Continue plowing cotton till the 18th
or Goth of August. Once or twice dur
ing the season, shove out the middle
with furrow, to keep the land level.
The ploughing of cotton requires one
and fourth days per acre.
WORDS OF CAUTION TO THOSE VINO
NEED THEM. In the first place do not
gcneralize too hastily in other words,
because certain things have happened
30 and SO this season, or in that field
or i'll regard to this or that crop, dc
not make up your minds, without fur.
ther observation or experiment, that
you have got the secret of the thing
the general law by which to be gov.
erned in all future operations. Further
experience may confirm what now seems
to be the truth in the matter, or it may
upset your present theory entirely
For instance, perhaps, you broke uI
your land more deeply than usual, o.
you subsoiled under your cotton beds
Now suppose your crop is not so gooC
where you ploughed deep, or subsoiled
as where you did not. Have yor
proved that deep ploughing or subsoil
ing, MS the case may be, are bad prac
tlces? BY no means. Another farmer
perhaps your neighbor, may have done
the same thing with exactly opposite
results: He says deep ploughing pays
but, like yourself, he generalizes too
hastily. You have neither of you ae
termined anything, except for the one
field, tho one crop, and the one season
which the experiment covers. The
thing to be found out by large mum
Der of other experiments and observa
tions is, under just what conditions O
soil, season and crop, these operation'
are profitable, and how the work mus
be done to make them profitable. ST
A., we will suppose, tries clover ant
fails entirely. Clover can not be grow

is firmly convinced that the farmer whe
does not believe in clover is poor be

next year BIS clover crop will be cut of
by m nntimely drought. What then
Simply this it takes more than one o.
two experiments to settle such ques
tions in farming, or furnish any gen
eral rule of practical value.

HORSE BREEDING IN RUSSIA. There
are seven crown studs in Russia and one
III Poland, containing altogether 1902
brood mares aud horses, with twelve
crown stables having 945 stations. The
Chrianov stud. purchased by the crown
thirty years ago from the heirs of Count
Orloff, is divided into three sections,
one devoted to pure English horses,
another to saddle horses, and the third
to trotting horses. Tho Derkuli stud
breeds English carriage horses, the now
Alexandrov, kind of half blood saddle
horse, the Simarevsk thoroughbred
Arabs, ard the Strieletzl Oriental sad
die horses. In the Orenburg stud horses
are bred for the light cavalry and artil-
lery. Russia further possesses 2, ,444
private studs, having 6,496 stations and
about 10000 brood mares, besides up
ward of $4,000 stations and 62O, 600
brood mares in the Copack and steppe
tabunes." Horse breeding has de-
creased on private estates since the
emancipation of the serfs, and many of
the studs have been broken up, and have
passed in part into the hands of the
pensantry. In Russia there are $50
horse fairs, at which about $50, 900 ami
mails are annually sold, out of about
263, 600 brought to market. The aver
ago price of horse is GO rouble-about
$50. :,
