A Small Farm

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer,
after the statement that a sixteen-acre
farm cannot be successfully run on the
same plan adopted on larger one, thus
proceeds to give his plan:
IL the farm is all tillable | should di
vide the l6 acres into four sections, of
four acres each, but it is not necessary to
fence it, except the four acres where the
house and barn stand. This plat should
divide up in the following way: Two
acres for house, small lawn, kitchen gar
den. BARNARD, etc. this is rather large,
think. and less would do if the house and
barn are in the right position, but call it
two acres. Then one acre for fruit
black berries, raspberries, currants and
straw berries One acre for poultry; this
acre should be set to pear, ounce and
peach trees, and plum can be added IT
thought best this affords good shade for
the fowls. find that the trees do much
better where the poultry run than
those where they do not. On this one
acre I would have tour poultry houses,
with yards for runs of one-fourth acre
each, and should keep % in each yard
one yard of either Buff. White or Par
fridge Cochins for sitters; one yard of
Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes and two
OF Leghorns--the Cochins for sitters, the
Plymouth Rocks for early broilers and the
Leghorns for eggs. The remaining IL
acres should use as follows: Four acres
tor clover, four acres for soling crops
and the remaining four acres for corn and
potatoes. On so small place wheat and
oats do not pay. as Mr.. Leonard has al
ready shown. The II acres should be
rotated with clover roots, mil!et, fodder
corn. and anything that will do for teed.
On the place four cows (and they must
be good ones, not necessarily of long
pedigrees, but OF individual meriD can
be kept for the first two or three years
after that more can be added. The ma
nure from the four cows, one horse, and
100 hens will go tar towards enrichiug the
land. Apply the hen manure. well saved,
to the hill, as the best results are obtained
in this way utilize every corner with
something that will either sell. make fod-
der for the cows or food for the hens and.
my word for it. the young man with the
l6 acres will have profitable business at
home, with his little farm well TILED, land
his little wife well willed," he will be AS
contented as those who roam their hun
dred acres over. One other thing ! will
mention, and that is this /: Put in patch
of early potatoes. found that nearly
every season half an acre or more of extra
early potatoes are as profitable as any
patch of ground on the place.
Study the wants of your nearest village
and town, and supply the people with the
choicest and earliest of fruits and vegeta-
bles.

THE season of the Agricultural Fair
having arrived, the Western and South
ern States are not behind their brethren
of the North in a general and special
display of agricultural products, blooded
stock, with mechanical and other display
of handiwork. Kentucky, bright and
spirited commonwealth that she is, has
lead off with the efforts of her heroic
men, and the work of her pluckv and
active women. Missouri has one long,
unwearied gala day through the fall, of
Exposition and Fair, and Fair and Expo
sition. Mississippi has displayed her
progress through nearly every county of
her State IN numberless Fairs. Ten
nessee has assembled her agricultural
strength in Fairs that exhibit stock, staples
and handicraft. And last, butnot least.
mallgned Arkansas has rallied with that
strength, and force, that, though latent,
IS ever a power when the endurance or
capacity for accomplishment of her men
and women is called to the front. The
County Fairs this season in Arkansas are.
with but few exceptions, excellent. The
most noticeable of these, first, the Fair
at Fort Smith, had an exhibit OF fine
horses, fine cattle and stock that would
have called forth admiration in MANY an
older State than our own. Implements
and mechanical appliances for agricul-
ture, were the best of their kind, while
the handiwork of women in useful, and
ornamental work was also excellent. AT
Monticello, in Drew County, the exhibit
OF stock and the staples of agriculture
We're also exceedingly fine, while the
work OF the women of Drew County
with the needle, with fruit, with flowers,
farm management, with the pencil and
brush was excellent, indeed. White
county, also, came off with flying colors
IN this emulation Of agriculture. Surely
the progress, the skill and the spirit of
'ne people OF State may we'll be judged
BY their Agricultural Fairs.

THE FRAUD.

Those who are opposed to the pas.
sage ofithe oleomargarine bill by Con-
gress, attempt to make a point by as.
sertiog that Congress has no right to
tax n Industry at the expense of
another. They mean to say, that Con-
gress has no right to tax ~oleomarga-
rine, to protect butter makers and
butter consumers.
They are wholly wrong. Congress
has the right to tax any thing. 1t does
tax nearly everything directly or indi-
rec ly. Until very recently it tax
ed so necessary a medicine
as quiuine. 1t directly taxes
whisky and tobacco. and the
principle of taxing such articles as
whisky and tobacco is sound. 1t would
have the right to tax oleomargarine
because it is, in many instances, a vile
compound, but as it is palmed off
traudulently as butter, it has the
double light to tax it, and it ought to
tax it, or use some other efficient means
to prevent its being forced on the peo-
pie as a sWindle.
Weknow that some reputable manu-.
f%acturers of oleomargarine assure the
public that they use nothing but pure
ingredients, and that their product is a
wholesome article of food. In some
few instances, we believe that is true.
still the product is not sold to con.
sumers as oleomargarine, and 1t is not
served to those who eat it as oleomar.
garine. In a vast majority Of ~transac-
lions 1t is sold as butter and served as
butter.
Who ever heard of an at
tendsnt at any table, asking
guests if they would have some oleo-
margarine? We will venture the as
that it is served universally
wherever it is consumed as butter.
The number Of oleomargarinists in
and out of Congress informs the peo-
pie how extensively the article is
manufactured and imposed on the
and demonstrates the necessity
If stripping it Of its fraudulent mask

So THE war tariff, which protects
the rich manufacturers AID does not
protect the working man is being Wig.
Orously attacked right in its strong
hold, Philadelphia. A large mass
meeting was held Saturday night to
give endorsement to an appeal to Con.
gress to remove the customs duties
from all raw materials and to protest
against the Importation of foreign
labor.
Speaker Carlisle was expected to ad-
dress the meeting, but a letter was re.
ceived regrettiDg that his duties at
Washington prevented his taking part
in the demonstration.
A preamble and resolutions were
passed setting forth the deplorable
condition of labor in the United
States as an evidence that the present
system of protection does not benefit
the working man; that the capitalists
who do profit by it still maintain free
trade 10 labor, bringing dangerous ele-
ments into the country under it from
the servile nations of Europe and
Asia; that the tax on raw material
Being greater than that on manufac.
tured goods, it is cheaper to import
manufactured goods by depriving
labor of opportunity for en-
ployment; that American workmen
know as well how to protect them
peaceably as those who know no
remedy except dynamite; that
they protest against the heavy tax on
raw materials, and, finally, that they
demand Of Congress a more stringent
to prevent the importation Of
pauper labor.

TIE Leland Record takes up TIE
question Of what is best for the eolored
people, and while it evidently believes
that any forced moves would be full Of
danger. has a suggestion, which it
thinks good. The Record is printed
right in the center Of a section where
the colored people outnumber the
white people at least twelve to one. 1t
has means Of being informed of the
a
Il is a close observer for it has dis
covered that all colored citizens who
own property, especially real property.
are careful and conservative In their
department. The floating and thriitless
classes are the ones dangerous to So
ciety and good government. 1t there.
fore suggests that the large tracts of
land be cut into small tracts of from
ten to forty acres and sold to either
white or black purchasers On such long
time and terms as will enable the pur-
chasers to pay.
Most admirable advice. Wise sug-
gestion and we have no doubt it would
be promptly carried out, but for some
difficulties we shall mention. The Gov
eminent cannot c~oniscate private
property even to benefit the colored
race, consequently it cannot cut the
large plantations into tracts to suit the
convenience of purchasers. A vast
number of land owners do not wish to
sell and therefore the suggestion is i'm.
practicable.
Our suggestion is still the best, for
it Is entirely practicable. 1t is to let
the colored people alone except to en-
courage them to practice industry and
economy and advise them to buy homes
whenever they can find them for sale,
and they can get them on such terms,
as they can pay for them.
