Successful Cropping.

Talking with a neighbor who has
Just marketed his barley crop, he in
formed me that it yielded fifty bushels
per acre, and he sold it (two-rowe y at
81 20 per bushel. This makes a gross
total of $50 per acre, besides the straw,
or $24O from the field of four acres The
barley overran enough by weight to
pay for the seed. The field two years
ago was clover sod. This was we'll
MANFRED, plowed and planted with
Peerless potatoes. The yield was one
thousand bushels, selling for nearly
five hundred dollars-might have
brought more If sold at the highest
price. The field was again MANFRED
in the spring, and sown with barley
and last fall, with another dressing of
manure, il was sown to wheat, which
now looks well, as it should 1t is safe
to say that with decent management,
the field heavily seeded with clover
this spring, and reasonably cropped
thereafter, this four acres cannot be-
come poor during the lifetime of its
owner. Some of our best farmers are
questioning whether this policy of ma
nuring thoroughly whatever they have
to manure, and combining their labors
manure and labor over a wider area.
Certainly very good showing can be
made for this policy from the example
quoted above. Here are four acres
which in three crops will yield net
profit of considerably more than the
value of the land, and yet are more
valuable than before. Can the old
fashioned policy make better showing
than this? 1t only shows what might
be done Oh good, well-drained land,
with unlimited quantities ofmanure.
I call this successful cropping. This
nobody can deny. Perhaps it is also
successful farming, but that depends
mainly on what wRs done with the rest
of the farm while this field was petted.
Ifby neglect of clovering, or otherwise,
the remainder of the land deteriorated
as much as the four acres improved, the
advantage is not obvious. Generally,
however, those farmers who know how
to grow land do grow good crops, are
the good farmers. Here, as elsewhere,
the scriptural rule holds good: HE

clover would not have the strength to

the clover stood two feet high the next
year; where ii was plowed under, the
clover never reached over six or eight
inches. This year plowed the whole
piece and put it in corn fodder, without
any fertilizer. The corn on the har-
rowed piece averages four to four and
half feet in height, and on the plowed
portion about fifteen to eighteen inches.
The larger growth is no doubt attribut-
able to the heavy clover sod that was
turned under, and which was secured
by narrowing in the manure.-[S. D.,

day Of the patron saint, determined II possible to
come out in the full glory Of piece Of bunting

store-rooms Of the navigation bureau and inter-
viewed the clerk on the subject. "Say, mister
have you got an Irish flag on the premises ?" The
clerk replied that he had not. az Why, haven't
you the nag Of Old Ireland2" asked the man,
opening his eyes. The clerk said that he was
sorry, but he had not. "Don't you have all for.
egn tags ?" he asked, afraid that the clerk might
have forgotten some Of the facts connected with
his business. ayes" "Then you must have an
Irish flag" The clerk again denied having such
an article, but the Waterman still persisted, with
the faint hope that there might be such d lg
slowed away in some quiet corner, and that the
clerk might remember II II his mind was kept
steadily on the subject. He tried It on another
tack: Say, mister, when you go into o French
port you fly q French iag?" ayes" "When
you go into German port you fly German
haR?" YES" "Then when you 20 into an
Irish port you flies an Irish flag, don't you 2"
Much 10 the astonishment Of the questioner, the
clerk said, No, SIR we fly the royal cross OF st.
George" "D-n the royal cross OF st. GeorgeT'
exclaimed the disappointed applicant, and turned
On his heel, puzzled to know what business the
