GOOD FARMING.-Instances often occur
of one farmer making good living off Of
land on which previous workers had failed
to succeed. This is often set down to good
management, and justly so. A man must
know his land, its wants aud capabilities,
before he can properly farm it. We quite
agree with the writer who says that it is
one sigp of good farmer if h. prizes ma.
nurc. 1t does not require good farmer to
raise bountiful crops on farm already rich
but the art lies i'll 50 managing the farm that
twill produce good crops every year without
losing its fertility. y mln may make mon
cy from his farm while he is wasteful of
fertilizers, but he is not a good farmer, for
he Is constantly running his land iuto debt.
Good farming consists of such management
as will make the farm produce the best
possible results without deterorating the
SOL. This can only be accomplished BY a
rigid economy in the making and using of
manure, and by such systematic rotation
of crops as will be the least exhaustive to
