Intensive Farming.

We hear much of Intensive Farming.
By this term we understand that system
which by judicious application Of ma.
nure and rotation will make the biggest
crops, whilst at the came time the land
is gradually improving and becoming
more valuable. This is Intcnsive Farming.
The land is the farmers bank on which
he is to draw. If his drafts exceed his
deposits, the bank fails. If he wants bis
bank account to 60 on increasing, 80 as
to meet readily all his drafts, he
must keep an eye To his deposits.
The deposits consist of high manu-.
ring-not simply the greatest quantity
or the most artificial fertilizers, but such
as are specially needed for the growing
crop with the least possible outlay in
money. AS In every other business
where competition exists reduced cost oi
production is one Of the main elements
of success. Market prices for farm pro.
ducts are fixed by the general law ofsupply
and demand. Railroad facilities quickly
adjust Il em even between very distant
points. The farmer who makes his crop
ut least cost, like the merchant who laya
in his stock on the most favorable terms
can best sell at a profit. But the farmer
who spends $50 per acre for manures and
sells the produce for $3.50 per acre, is
doing better business than he who buys
no manure and makes only $50 per acre.
1t may bo to his interest, therefore. to
pay money for his manures which will
return him two or three fold it's cost
And this is not all the gain. Besides the
annual profits on the crop, there is the
annually increasing value of his lands
his capital. This system of farming, by
whatever name it may be called, is the
true system and the one which must be
ultimately adopted by those who are to
be prosperous. But the farmer must
guard against the fallacy that the mere
money profit from sale Of crops is all
that he should expect from his farm. II
these profits are to go for purchasing the
means of living, then he is not going for.
ward, but standing still, with the chances
of retrograding. Food, abundant food 70,
man and beast, is to be provided. Not food
only but the various comforts and luxu.
ries which farm can furnish and which
every farmers family should enjoy. His
living is no mean item in the list oi
profits to be derived from a we'll kept
farm. He has it In his power to enjoy
lnxurics which can scarcely be purchased
elsewhere in equal purity and excellence.
The orchard, dairy and vegetable garden
the poultry, hogs, sheep and other
meats, are only accessories which can be
had at very little cost of money or labor.

"And papa?"
"He's we'll, too. He's having bully

build statues ana monuments to public men drags
Slowly and heavily along. A project was set on
ioct some time ago 10 erect memorial TO the late
Dean Stanley, for which the modest sum of thirty
thousand dollars only was required. So popular
was the distinguished prelate with all classes of
English society, and especially with the titled and
wealthy portions OF II, that it was thought there
wouli be no trouble or delay In raising the
necessary means AT last accounts, however
only about two-thirds OF the required sum had
been subscribed, and the project Is now practi-
ealiy at a standStiu, IL not actually abandoned

their own showing, better things OF the Engnsh.

Again the talk is revived Of providing New York

pleasure by the public, but, curlOusy enough, 1T is
discouraged by some OF the newspapers of the
city IL Is easy enough to see why such project
should be opposed by the elevated railways, the

facts should encourage the enterprising, public
