FARM AND PRESIDE.


rbere are few localities in which stock
S46wing of some kind may not be made
irritable. First, make the pasture and
arrange for the winters feed, and then
cet good stock, and there is money in it.
~ the wide field of agriculture no
hrsnch is so important, none so interest
;nr. none so profitable as stock, breeding.
Tkis, indeed, the highest branch of farm
i'd that upon which all others more or
Ia depend--to which all others more or
loss contribute. The English people, who
re unquestionably the best farmers in
the world, and have always been a farm
ine people par excellence, have crystal
jzed this truth into three sentences No
cattle no anu No no grass.
No grass no cattle. This Is the true doc
trine-the trinity of good farming the
world over. Within the compass Of these
three sentences is expressed the whole
philosophy of mixed, husbandry-a phi
Iosophy founded on facts and founded by
science. Let us look at the matter a
little more in detail. 1t is an indisputa-
BILE fact that all crops taken from the
ground remove more or less plant-food
from the soil, and that in time the most
fertile soil in the world will become ex-
hausted by continued cropping without
maturing. This being true, it is mani
iczt that manuring is absolutely neces-
sary to the preservation of the fertility
of any and every farm. The question,
then, with every farmer should be, how
can | best keep my land in heart? How
most easily restore the plant-food taken
away by each crop? For by far the
greater majority of farmers the answer to
these questions is, by keeping cattle to
make manure. Farmers living near
cities may purchase manure enough 10
do them, and can, in that case, devote
NIL their land, labor and capital to grow
ing crops that will sell. But for farmers
at large the manure that is bought does
not pay, if it alone is used. Homemade
manure is the best, as well as the cheap.
est; and for homemade n the
farmer must depend upon his own cattle.
Again, it is with farm products as with
other things-the manufactured article
is worth more tnan the raw material.
Corn, oats, hay, etc, are the raw mate
rails of the farm, while horses, mules,
cattle, sheep and hogs are the manufac-
turcd articles. 1t is much more profita-
BILE, then, tor the farmer to make his
corn and hay into meat than to sell it
raw. Again, the farmer who grows stock
may always have something to sell, while
he who only raises corn or any other crop
to sell is in the market but once a year.
And, finally, no branch of farming re-
1uires SO little heavy work, while zone
offers so invitinga field for the intelligent
labor of the educated farmer. Hence it
is that we place stock.breeding at the
art OF farming as the most important,
the most pleasant and the most profta-

Farms are Made Enduring by Keeping
stock.

Farming in the west will be pursued,
in the future, by a very different system
from that now practiced, in that there
will be less sold off the farm in the crude
state. The result is inevitable for two
reasons, viz: First, that the land will
not stand the steady annual cropping, no
return being made to compensate for the
drain second that men are very gen.

The stock we feed and sell is soon gone
from our sight, and each shipment counts
out its own profit or loss. No indelible
mark is left, except the mark which the
manure makes, and this mark will be
