There has been some lament over the ten
dency in this country to mass great areas of
real estate under one management, and fears
have been expressed that, in the West, at
least, we shall sometime experience the evils
of landlordism which have cursed older parts
of the world. But such fears appear to be
groundless. We have no law of entail and
the probability that these vast areas will re-
main under a single management for more
than one or two generations is rather small
The big farms of the West are proving COM
parative failures. Dalrymple, the Dakota
farmer, and Glenn, the California nabob
have not succeeded well. The Sullivan farm
in Illinois has been cut up, and the work of
subdivision is more likely to go on than that
of accumulation. The Toronto Globe points
out that great farms require vast amount of
machinery, which to be made profitable must
be kept at the same work year after year.
This forbids a rotation of crops and induces
q steady development of the insect and fun
gold pests which attack certain products.
The most successful farmers of the West are
those who own comparatively small farms,
which they can keep entirely under their own
supervision and manage with little help and
improve rather than deteriorate by proper
rotation of crops.
A still better example of the superiority of
small farms over big ones, is found nearer
home, in the market gardens near the great
cities. Some of the finest of these we know
of, are in the vicinity of Boston. For an ex-
ample, there is one of five or six acres within
the limits of that city, which produces its
owner a clear annual income of from $4,000
to $4,000. Instead of spending his money for
machinery and labor, the farmer devotes his
capital largely to the enrichment of his
ground. The amount of manure he applies
to his few acres seems almost wasteful, but
the results prove his wisdom. Within two or
three weeks he has marketed from a small
patch $l75 worth of string beans. His early
potatoes are already dug and have brought
him something like $4,000, and the ground
where they grew is already at work produc-
ing second crop OF vegetables. The amount
of'truck" which he manages to secure from
his few acres, which lie about his house and
barns, is really marvellous, but the secret is
high cultivation and scientific method. The
same method may be applied anywhere in
Massachusetts and the dawdling away over
hundreds of acres, and getting only half a
crop, and Mt the same time impoverishing the
soil. is the sheerest folly. Springfield Union.

Take Good Care of tho Morses.

There is no animal on the farm that is SO
likely to be neglected rs the horse. The
horse of the city truckman or of the express
man, the driving horse and the saddle horse
are well cared for, but the farm horse is too
often irregularly fed, and, SO far as cleaning
is concerned. regularly and systematically
neglected. It is difficult to obtain a hired
man brought up on the farm who thinks
there is any necessity for taking special care
of a horse. Some horses upon the farm are
rarely, if ever, properly cleaned, and yet the
condition and usefulness of the farm horse
depend as much upon the manner in which it
is cared for as any other horse. When
brought perspiring to the stable he ought not
to be allowed to be stand over night with the
dust drying upon him. A good cleaning is
half rest, and yet how often we see the
farm horse brought out in the morning COW
cred with the dirt of the day before and with
the accumulated filth of the night still cling
ing to him. Under such conditions horse
is not more than half horse. Often, too,
he is irregularly fed and indiscreetly watered
A horse at work should have some water five
or six times day. If he does not drink
more than two or three quarts at a time all
the better. horse that is kept from the
water till he will drink two or three pailfuls
will be very likely to have his digestive Or
gans and bowels seriously disarranged.
To keep horse in good working condition
he should be fed regularly, whether at work
or idle in the stable. He will last many years
longer than if, when at work, he is heavily
fed, and when idle neglected. A horse on
the farm should always be cleaned at least
once day, and when hard at work both
night and morning. If not at work good
grooming once a day would be sufficient, and
when idle good hay might be substituted for
grain at the MONDAY meal, but when at work
grain should be given, as he would obtain
more nutrition in half an hour from grain
than in many hours from hay. A hired man
who is worthy of his hire will take pride in
ministering to the comfort and improving the
appearance of the animals he drives

An exchange says the annual recurrence of
numerous barn burnings Immediately after
harvest, and at the time when such disaster
entails the greatest loss on the farmer, gives
rise anew TO the discussion of the various
theories of spontaneous combustion" 1t is
very widely held among farmers, and just as
earnestly denied by many of them, that damp
oats or hay will give rise to a degree of heat
that will canse a conhagration, and that
piece of iron or steel fork left in the body
of the grain will intensity the danger. 1t is
a mooted question of great interest that can
easily be settled by scientific investigation
and to which our agricultural societies should
give their attention. The farmers want illu-
Dlination on the subject of different sort
from that which is afforded by their blazing
barns

Selling.

Mr.. Stewart of Buffalo is an advocate of
soiling cattle. He finds that quarter of an
acre of clover will support COW from 1GO to
$50 days. He had $50 acres 80 of which was
fair meadow, and co in corn fodder, oats and
clover. He put up 20 steers, three and four
years old, eight COWS and six horses. He be-
gan cutting the clover when eight inches high,
of which there were five acres Two acres
were in oats and three in corn fodder, which
was fed as needed and grass cut from the 80
acres but there were G5 tons of hay put into
the barns. The grass was cut with machine,
raked with horse, and drawn to the barn in
q cart, one man being employed six hours
each day in cutting and feeding, and about
two hours of horse labor The total cost of
the extra labor amounted to $75 for the sea-
son. The 60 tons of hay were sold at the
barn at $9.72. The cost of cutting and put
ting this hay into the barn was $3.50, which,
taken from the cash received for the hay, left
profit in favor of soiling over pasturing of
$797.5 The 20 steers sold for $3.50, and
the 100 loads of manure saved was worth
double what it would have been if left on the
pasture.

In the spring of 1878, l planted a few
acres to corn soil light loan with sandy
subsoil. Unleached ashes were applied at
the rate of not less than sixty bushels TO the
acre. and the crop was good one. In the
spring of 1879, put the same surface to po-
tatoes with no manure at the time of plant
ing. Just as they began to come up, a coat
of ashes was spread on top of the ground,
about fifty bushels per acre. The supply ran
short, leaving three-fourths of an acre to be
MANFRED from large heap Of nice fine COM
post. The land seems precisely alike In all
respe cts all was planted at the same time,
with the same variety of potatoes, cultivated
in the same manner, and as well as l know
how to cultivate. The season was exceeding
ly dry in this county, and the potato crop al
most failure in consequence. Repeated ex-
periments have proved to me that where land
is MANFRED with fine compost the crops re-
sist drought much better than where there is
none, or where a very coarse manure is used.
When the dry weather came, l fully expected
to see the potatoes where the ashes were suf-
fer from the dry weather first To my sur
prise the reverse of this was the case. The
dry weather continued until the soil was like
baked ashes. The potatoes where the ma
nure had been dropped and almost died,
while the first row, only three feet away, but
where the ashes had been spread, showed a
most marked difference, and it SO continued
through the season. When the crop was dug,
the land where the ashes were yielded about
$50 bushels of nice potatoes per acre, while
the portion where the fine manure WAS yield
ed not more than half as many bushels, and
a large proportion of them were too small for
market. l have no doubt that the land where
the ashes were would have yielded double
what it did, had it not been for the drought
l am well aware that ashes are an excellent
manure, having used many thousand bushels
during the last ten or fifteen years.-COr. ~

FERTILIZERS ON PoTAToEs -Prof. Lazenby
tried a number of careful experiments with
fertilizers on potatoes, the seed consisting of
medium sized tubers cut into halves, drop
ped a foot and a half apart in the row and
covered five inches deep. The fertilizers
were strewed along the burrows and well
mixed with the soil before planting. With no
manure, the product was at the rate of l39
bushels per acre and with Stockbridge fer
tilizer only 1876 bushels, probably a natural
variation from no manure, and showing it of
no value on that soil. Hen manure gave 145
bushels, Peruvian guano 1853, Listers super
phosphates 1884, and ground bone 2l2. Farm
yard manure spread along the bottom of the
furrow aud the seed dropped on it, gave only
1863 bushels, but placed above the tubers the
result was POI bushels. This difference
might have been owing to several causes-as
the greater depth of the seed under the ma
nures, more moisture and wider spread of
the manure.

WHETHER IT Is BEST TO Sow TURNps
BROADCAST or in drills depends very much
upon circumstances. If your land is rich and
clear of weeds good crop can usually be
obtained by the former method. We know
farmer who has followed early potatoes with
turnips sown in this way, and has often sue
ceeded in getting 800 bushels per acre. On
the contrary if your land is not rich and you
have a limited quantity of manure, it is doubt
full whether you can do better than to make
burrows not less than three feet apart then
scatter your fertilizer, cover with a ridger,
sow your seed ON these ridges, and you will
have room to cultivate and hoe all that is
necessary, and you can harvest in less than
half the time that it would require if sown
broadcast. We have repeatedly seen 500
bushels of turnips grown on an acre of rye
stubble with the aid of three cords of manure
with good turf turned under Excellent
crops can be raised with the aid of email

Clean Up ana IA eep Clean

Disease comes mainly from below. This
is the season for it. The heat of the sum-
mer sun causes fermentation, noxious gases
are engendered, the air is contaminated we
inhale it, our blood is poisoned and then
comes on fever, diphtheria, death. We call it
a visitation of Providence. It is. But it is
made through violation of hygenic law
The air we breathe, the water we drink, or the
food we eat is poisoned, hence the damage.
II is a very great mistake to suppose the Pom.
tine marshes are alone malarious. Where
ever the summer sun shines on decaying sub
stances wherever animal or vegetable matter
is decomposing, there is malaria. Our state,
our homes, our rooms are full of it, and the
wonder is not that we suffer so much, but
that we live at all under its baleful influence.
Over and over again the cause of typhoid
fever, scarletina anddiphtheria has been shown
to be foul air or water, rendered so by the
neglect of cleanliness Sometimes whole
families, or schools, or colleges are suddenly
visited by one of the abOve-named diseases (;
prayers are offered, the healthfulness of the
place is insisted on, the cause of the scourge
is ian inscrutable Providence !" This, too,
among those called Intelligent people. !"
What is the cause Contaminated water !;
contaminated air Some sewage is exposed TO
the sun some well, or spring, or fountain is
infected by the proximity of oesspool some
cellar some closet, some bin or barrel is un-
cleansed. Some sink drain, or some duck
pond, or some court or stable generates ma
laria. That is the secret. Why, even a tub
of decaying apples, or of rancid lard, or cleo
margarine is enough, sometimes, to poison a
whole family. Hence let me kindly say

The Poon MANS REFmGERAToR.-I have
Just inspected n seaside refrigerator, at one of
the cottages, which is worth describing.

there will be some three inches space all

made, of q size TO just fill up this space, leav-
ing an airchambcr of two inches between the
two boxes, and TO reach the surface of the
ground. The space is filed with sawdust or
shavings, a rough cover is fitted TO the outer
box, and the affair is complete. Gravel or
sand bottom is best, and such box will keep
butter hard in hot summer weather without
trouble and without ice. In the box of which
mention is made, however, about so pounds
of ice are used per week, 20 pounds or over
being added upon alternate days. As re-
frigerator it gives perfect satisfaction, keeps

FRUIT DRYERS As the present year is the
season for an abundant apple crop, it will be
well for orchardists to secure good dryers, to
work up the surplus fruit rapidly, in eondi-
ton greatly superior to'common drying. We
see recent statements of the great success
which has attended the use of small improv-
ed evaporators, where fifty or a hundred
bushels have been dried by farmers who con-
sumo their own fruit going through the en-
tire process in a few hours, and turning out
