The fact about India's wheat production
is that there is a considerable surplus being
produced, but it is without benefit to the
people whose labor oduces it, and they
are Becoming poorer and more wretched
every year. People who are in this cond-
ton cannot be formidable competitors; it is
only flash in the pan. The English land
tax i'll India takes more than one-half the
grain raised by the agriculturist or ryot-and
leaves him but little to live upon. English
men regard life in India as exile, and seek
only to enrich themselves as quickly as
possible at the expense of the natives. The
English rulers" says the HinLoO ststician,
Navroji, "stand sentinel at the whole front
door of India, challenging the world, that
hey do and shall protect India against all
ccmers, and themselves carry away by a
back door the very treasures they stand
sentinel to protect" That is one of the an
tiquities of Great Britain. Periodical FAM
ines in India are crisises that have to be met
by the English rulers before they can, with
any certainty rely upon wheat surplus
tor export. The bleached bones of millions
of Hindoos are silent witnesses OF past tam
| ines, and Christian nation should devote
itself to the prevention OF the recurrence of

were TO tell the exact truth. the majority of
them would tell pretty much the same story.
This may sound mercenary, but I can't
help that. We all work for pay in some

right drudgery connected with the care of
even moderate sized market poultry farm,
let me tell you that the average mortal
wants to see the pay coming, in hard cash,
before he can get up any great amount of
Glove for the work" So, if any of my
readers are so situated that poultry keeping
seems to bs the only thing they can do that
will bring in cash, or its equivalent, let
them not be deferred from engaging in it,
because their hearts are not filled to over
flowing with genuine love for the work.
"a Determination to Succeed" is worth
more to the beginner in poultry keeping
than all the Glove for the work" in the uni
verse; it is the chief element of success in
any undertaking. The man or woman who
goes into poultry-raising, or any other busi-
ness, chock full of determination to succeed,
will succeed in the end. The magic of those
two words 81 WILL" can do anything that
can be done in this world-whether in love,
law, politics, religion, war, or the chicken
business.
Practical Knowledge."-T man who
proposes to engage in poultry keeping on
large scale, must, if he proposes to keep the
balance on the credit side, from the begin
ming, acquire practical knowledge con-
corning the management of fowls, before he
undertakes the care of flock numbering
four or five hundred; and the very best
way to get this knowledge is to buy small
flock and study them. AS his stock of poul-
try knowledge increases, he may increase
the size of his flock, until it numbers as
many fowls as he can manage profitably;
but he should take especial care that the in
crease in his flock is never out of all proper
ton to his gains in poultry wisdom.-Fa,s-

TO EQUIP A WHEAT FARM IN DAKOTA

"The amount of machinery necessary to
plant and harvest the crops OF the North
west" says the st. Paul Pioneer Press, sis
enormous. The principal crop OF the North
west is wheat, and as nearly all the labor
required to seed and harvest it is performed
within few months, usually from the first
of May to 10 the grst OF October-rarely six
months-everything must be done with a
rush. Farmers who raise nothing but
wheat cannot afford to employ help all the
year rennd, and this fact renders it very
difficult to obtain the necessary assistance
when it is needed during the busy season.
Wages are high on account OF this fact, and
the wheat raiser finds himself compelled to
depend upon mechanical help instead OF
muscle. 1t is questionable whether it is
more profitable, yet it is most independ lent

total outlay tor wagons, plows, harrows

outlay that must be made before the farmer

WE are an advocate of home comforts.
We believe that every farmer should supply
all in his power without gong in debt or
GRIPPING his prosperity. His farm should
be well improved. He should have plenty
OF cross fences, an orchard, garden, poultry
house and yard, good barn, tool house. con-
VenienL water for stock, and last but not
least, good dwelling, with the culinary
department we'll arranged, the parlor hand
somely furnished, and plenty of books, pic
lures, magazines and newspapers. We
would not advocate going in debt for these.
but they should be supplied at the earliest
possible moment. They are about all there
Is IN life, and the sooner the farmer begins
to enjoy them the more he will get OF life.
1t would be well also to sport nice turn
out so that whether going on business or
pleasure it can be done in good style with
perfect comfort. 1t is not all OF life to have
big bank account, broad acres, large
focks and herd, or big granaries well filled.
These often bring nothing but sleepless
nights, unrest and discontentment. But
comforts and Conveniences and a good table
make the farmer and his family and every
one about him happy, and this is the chief
end to be aimed at.

THE hail storms last month done great
Injury IN some valleys. In the Missouri
valley it was especially damaging. One
storm less than mile in width struck dag
onally across that valley, almost demollsh'
ing some fields. John Wards field of &c
acres, which was ripening at the time, was
so damaged that it only yielded about 6Ul
bushels when threshed. Themas McGoni
gal had 50 acres of two-rowed barley, which
was nice and would have yielded fully forty
bushels to the acre. 1t was SO completely
demolished that when harvested last weef
the yield was only 900 bushels.
