Intensive Farming.

Intensive farming might be practiced
more extensively without detriment to the
agricultural interests of this country. There
is too great a tendency to farm too much
land and spread over two acres the work
necessary for one. Such system gradually
deteriorateS the soil and leads to its i'm
poverishment. Intensive farming, on the
other hand, seeks to leave each acre better.
after each crop is taken off than it was be-
fore. The one necessarily leads to small
farms, well cultivated, which is the index
of tiourishing agriculture, and the other
leads to large farms, broken down fences
and neglected land, and is the bane of sue
ceSsful tillage of the soil. Farmers need to
learn to concentrate their energies, time.
intelligence, labor, etc., upon few acres
and make these produce more than before,
instead of spreading their labor over so
much surface that none of it can be made
to produce its full quota, All these things
have tendency to tell upon the flourishing
condition of this great industry. The COM
ing increase of population will gradually
make intensiue farming necessary, in order
to support the teeming millions who will
yet thrive upon our soil.

Raise More Poultry.

This bit of advice so frequently given by
the poultry papers and agricultural press of
the country during the last few years, is
beginning to be followed. to an increasing
extent if we may judge by numerous in
dications at the present time. Very slight
facts may be as conclusive as more notable
ones. if one has acquired habit of observa-
ton, and the latest indication of the in
crease of the poultry interest,
which has met our view, is the
fact that farmers are selling off but very
few of their pullets this year. In previous
years one could find daily opportunities dur
ing the fall to buy fine coops of pullets at
the commission houses, but this season it is
quite different. Very large shipments have
indeed been made, and the market kept
well stocked with live fowls, but large
proportion of them are old hens and young
cockerels. This is significant straw"

grows nothing but wheat, he can, with the
team force necessary to do the work within
the right time. do all the work, from plow-
ing to
MARKETING THE GRAIN,
in six months time. Here is then six
months of time left during which he and
his teams must be idle, OF else do something
outside of the special line, in which case
the specialist ceases to be specialist. 1t
may be said that if a wheat farmer can
make a living by working six months in
the year so much to his advantage, but in
these days of sharp competition everybody
is forced to employ all his time and re-
sources. Those who can use all their time
proftably will be able to undersell those
who work but half their time, and the ex-
elusive wheat grower, while he is exhaust
ing his farm, is also being crowded to the
wall by low prices.
By departing little from the special line
the wheat farmer can. by having teams of
mares, raise some colts each year, and thus
become horse raiser. In order to get some
profit out of his straw, which otherwise
would be burned. he can feed
FEW HEAD OF STEERS.
and to few pigs he can feed the wheat
while poultry will pick up the
grains. And thus he can go on
diverging wider and wider from the special
line in his endeavor to utilize all sources of
income. The management of farms in gen.
eral should be to have some one branch
suited to the circumstances as the leading
one to which the most attention is given.
and then other branches adapted to it
to follow along as attendants. AS, for
when butter making is the princi-
pal feature. Of course a variety of crops
must be grown and harvested for feed for
the cows; the calves should be kept and fed
until they can be sold proftably; pigs
should be kept to turn into money the skim
and buttermlk. and any line of farming
followed by which everything. including
the spare time, can be proftably utilized.
1t should be the general policy of farmers
to grow everything that they can for their
OWN use, and which does not cost them
more to grow than to buy. There are
many resources that have not been devel-
0ped; many crops that might be grown as
secondary if not as principal crops, if these
were but sought out.

Keep a Few Sheep.

There are very few farms on which few
sheep could not be kept at profit. There
is not one farmer in hundred who could
not utilize from twenty to fifty to great adj
vantage, and especially those who have Or
chards. In the keeping of such number
one should not permit the thought that any
thing will do. any grade of sheep, wool or
mutton, scrub or thoroughbred. 1t is a
small matter, but like all small things it is
susceptible of being done to more or less
advantage, and one might just as well make
more as less. Thus fifteen or twenty head
of the full-blood mutton breeds would cost
more to start with than that number of
scallawags or scrubs. but they would need
little or no more care or attention and no
more food. but in the course of year their
produce would have doubled the size of the
flock, and increased its value proportion

In the manufacture of sorghum sugar by

that 1.-The analysis of the exhausted chips
showed only trace of sucrOse and 0. 10 per
cent. of glucose. The waste waters OF dif-
fusion showed a loss of 0. 10 per cent. su,
crosse, and O.1O per cent. glucose. The total
loss of sugars. therefore, in chips and waste
waters was O.. 80 per cent" Nor was this

is grown. but whether the government will
think it worth while to do more than pave
the way for the prosecution of the business

it would, and thus stimulate all the people

American SILK Culture.

In paper upon Silk Culture, read by
Prof. c. V. Riley, United States entomOlo-
gist. before the American Association for
the Advancement of Science. he discussed
the questions of the adaptability of the eli
mate of the United States, profits of silk
culture etc. In summing up he says that
the adaptability of this country to silk Gull
ture has been proven beyond all question.
but. 1.-The profits are so small that by far
the larger proportion of those who become
interested abandon the culture after the
first year."

Sorghum Sugar.

a grave disadvantage in specialtieS lies in
the fact that when one follows one line of
work he makes for himself a rut which
grows deeper and deeper until the
specialist can see nothing outside. He may
become very keen and pointed in his line,
but he becomes cGrespondingly dull in
other directions: and this training con-
tlnued for few generations must result in
abnormally developed men and women.
Farmers are much too apt now to get into
and keep in ruts. How often do they. in
the older portions of the country at least.
use the same kind of tools, same methods.
grow the same kind of stock and crop that
their forefathers did, regardless as to
whether they pay now or not. and appar-
emily only because their ancestors did SO.
In no other industry can specialties be in
trOduced with more difficulty than in agri-
culture. When farmer makes a spec
ialty of
WHEAT-GROWING
or the growing of any one crop, and selling
it from the farm. we know that the result
is, in few years, an impoverished farm.
II man raises stock he must grow feed for
them. and thus diversity his farming, or
else buy the feed and impoverish his neigh
b0rs' farms.
Should he attempt to make some one line
speciality. there will be resources of the
farm that will be undeveloped which might
be turned to account under different sys-
tenn.
Let us see how it is with wheat-farming.
which comes as near being carried on as
speciality in some of the Northwestern
states as any branch of agriculture. If a
man has 160 acres of land on which he
