FARM GARDEN


The old has passed away, In agriculture M
In other things, In this country, When our
aoil was new this pioneer farmer had only 10
"tichle the earth with a hoe and IL laughed
with q haryest.n sloyenliness, bad tillage
and reckless waste of virgin loan alike failed
for many years To destroy the fertility Of tho
land.
But that good old day has gone forever,
along with tho great trees and myriads OF
wild game In the forest primeva, The agri-
culturist OF our period must practice improved
methods Of agriculture II he would not DO
crowded out of his place and go down. Tho
farmer must keep up with the time.
Our ancestors wore out the rich virgin soil.
Tho farmer OF to-day must nourish IL again
and bring back its strength, He must acquaint
himself with the best manures and fertilizers.
IL In shown by the records that tho soil Of
Great Britain produces better crops than IL
did forty years ago, Intelligent fertilldng has
brought about this good result, II shows,
moreover, in%disputably, that exhausted soil
can be brought up again,
In no way has the Agricultural and stock
raiser put money In his pocket moro success
fully Of recent years than by improving the
breeds Of domestic animals, Even the vast
herds OF TeIaa cattle, the widest of their
kind on tho continent, have boon improved
| 80 per cent. In weight and quality OF beef
| by careful crossing with the best "oiyillLedn
breods, This change has been effected only
since the wholesale expectation OF beef cattle
10 Europe began, being 30 short a time AZ TO
DO scarcely believable, Horses, swine, sheep
and poultry have changed for the better In a
no less marked degree within the memory OF
very young farmers. This, too, the agricul-
turist, who would not DO left behind, must
| avail himself OF.
He must inform himself constantly on
drainage, farm machinery, rotation OF crops,
the best varieties Of seeds, fruits and plants,
rural homes, barns and outbuildings and tho
| best food for domestic animals.
All this IL the boldest outline OF what tho
farmer Of our time must know II he would
mako a living and prosper. Agriculture Ia
the Oldest, noblest Of occupations, and II will
DO an III day for the land when farming ceases
10 pay. The time for tho tiller OF the soil 10
| gain tho necessary knowledge for success Ia
now-in winter. When the earth Ia ht rest,
hi0 mind should be most active, The way 10
get his stock Of information Is 10 read caro-
fully the farm and garden department Of his
newspaper, and books and magazines on the
saine themes. The successful farmer must
cultivate his soil with brains, and winter Ia
tho time 10 cultivate his brains,
