Crops and Profits.

There is but little question that
IN raising small crops farmers lose
tue larger part OF the profits that
might be secured. The raising Of
a crop OF wheat that only Yields
ten bushels can hardly be made to
pay expenses, if indeed it does not
prove a loss, while if the yield is
Increased to twenty bushels per
acre a fair profit may be realized.
This holds good with nearly all
kinds of farm products. To this
may be added the fact that small
yields almost invariably imply low
qnality, and this in turn generally
means low prices that still further
cut down the profits. IL certain
number of bushels are necessary
to pay running expenses in raising
the crop for market, the difference
of comparatively small quantity
in the yield and quality will make
the difference between raising the
crop at a profit or suffering loss.
In majority OF cases better
result can be secured il We are
more careful to make the soil
richer; to properly prepare in a
good tillable condition; to use the
best quality of seed and to give
more thorough cultivation. Each
of these effect the yield ard the
quality more or less, and if all are
given in a thorough manner. it will
only be in exceptional cases, when
a sufficiently larger yield will not
be secured to make the crop profit
able.
In very many cases the work Of
preparing the land, securing the
seed, planting and cultivating, is
very little less when small yield
is secured than it is with a good
crop, and often a small amount of
additional work will very ma
terially increase the yield.
A little more time spent in har.
rowing, or an additional working
with the cultivatOr, will often make
consider able difference in the
yield; better less acreage Of al
most any crop, with a thorough
preparation of the soil, careful
seeding in good season, and with
thorough cultivation given at the
right time and in a proper manner,
than a larger acreage less thor.
Oughly prepared aud less care
taken in the selection and plant
ing of the seed, and with the Guilt
walton less thorough. 1t Is an I'M
portant item with all crops to have
the seed sown in good season. But

"Naw, hate the stuff" saying
which a chill went over the man as
visible in its effects to Mr.. Perry
as if the ague has seized him on
the street.
"But want you to take glass

That friend still refused, when
Mr.. Perry said: "Your sociable

FRIDAY. JVapo" the minds
REPUBLIC,

I'D those who have their |
,sams afeld by sunrise in May and /
June and work hard until the I
nooniug hour, do not stop to con.
sider that the interval between !
breakfast and dinner is extended .
from seven to eight hours, against |
from five to six hours earlier in the .
season. This is done also when
the work is more labOriOus than it
was when this interval was short
er, and the temperature is much
more trying. The time from din
ner to supper is heightened in the
same way, and the long, hot days
of summer often bring actual sui
fering for the teams. Aud in all (
probability the owners of these
teams would resent the accusation
Of beiag called cruel in any way.
Many farmers see their horses
grow thin and weak without eX-
actly understanding why they
should, knowing tull we'll that they
are feeding as much as at any
other time, and perhaps little
more. AS has been stated often in
these columns, and is generally
understood by those who care to
know, the stomach of the horse is
smaller in comparison with the
size OF his body than that of any
other animal, and is not large
enough TO carry food enough to
sustain the body when required to
do hard work under trying circnm-
stances for as long a time as is
often required by minimizing farm
els. In many trades and pro-
fessions eight hours is considered
a days work, yet some OF our
tlllers of the soil require nearly
tina. many hours from their teams
between refreshments. Those
who do it must expect the cOnse-
Queuce, and the result is thin,
faded horses with not enough life
in them to do the work that is re-
quired of them with any degree of
comfort or ease to themselves. The
result OF such work is evident. The
crops may be cultivated with horses
in this condition, and the horses
may live through it aud regain
their flesh when there is a cessa
ton in the work, but their lives
will undoubtedly be shortened and
their days of usefulness curtalIed
by such treatment. Under such
conditions horses are more liable
to diseases, and the digestive or
gans are frequently injured for all
time. 1t would be hard to suggest
a remedy for this cruelty that
would be adopted by every one
The one that most naturally sug
gests itself is to have very early I
dinner, and than feed at or nearly |
five o'clock in the afternoon. AS
most farmers have supper at this |
hour it would be matter of but lit
tie Inconvenience to introduce this /
system of feeding. IL it were /
generally understood that the bad /
condition Of farm teams could so .
often be blamed upon the extended /
intervals between feeding in sum-
mer this matter would certainly .
receive more attention than it does.
