GIVE THE FARM A CHANCE

GIVE THE FARM \ CHANCE.
The present harvest is the most abun'
dant for several years. The hay crop i:
especially abundant. the acreage and yield
both being unusually large. The oats and
corn crops also promise well. This eondi-
ton indicates surplus of the products on
many farms in this county and as soon as
harvest is over, the important question OF
how this surplus is to be disposed of must
be determine d.
To sell single ton Of hay or straw, or a
bushel of oats or corn, in their original
state, is bad farming The rapid growth
of the use of commercial fertilizers in this
county proves concIusively that the pro
ductis enesS of our soil is being permanent
Is impaired The first requirement there
fore. of future successful farming is that
this impoverishment shall be stopped and
the only way to do this is by returning to
the land in the form of manure the plant
food which has been taken from it in the
shape of crops A man fit to be farmer
can sell the surplus produce Of his land at
a higher price in the shape of beef, pork,
mutton or wool than in its original state
and have the manure besides. And nothing
can take place of farm manure as fertiliz-
er. The effects of all fertilizers are about
equal on the first crop, but only those OF
farm manure are permanent. The first
step therefore, should be to provide sufii-
cient stock, of the kind which the individ-
uals Judgment tells him will likely be most
profitable, to consume all his harvest pro-
ducts during the winter.
Farming is no longer an occupation
where nature furnishes everything and the
farmer sows and reaps a. matter Of
course 1t has come to be business that
requires head work, just as any other bust
ness does That it is business which is
necessarily Improbable is untrue. 1t Is
true the returns are not royal, but they
can be made always sure and this is true OF
no other business. All that is necessary Is
that the same intelligent foresight and at
tention be given to farming that is given
by any successful business man in any
other business and the same success will
follow-W ashington, Pa ObSerrer.

AYMAKING IN FINLAND
Mark Lane EXPRESS.

Mark Lane Express.
a curious way of making hay is very
generally adopted by the Fins. Poor men
who own no meadows have long been ac-
customed to cut what grass they can find
in the forest glades and other waste lands.
Owing to the lack of roads and farmsteads
the hay was stuffed among the branches OF
trees to await the winter frost and snow,
when it could easily be carried off by sled
ges. After wet season some farmers not
iced that this was actually better in quail
ity than that which they themselves made
from much better grass. The wild crop, so
to call it, has dried much better in the tree
branches exposed to free circulation of
air than the rich herbage which had lain
long on the sodden ground. Hence it oc-
CURED to them to make temporary trees
upon which their own crops might be dried.
This experiment was attended by such
success that the plan has been widely imi
tated, and bids fair entirely to supplant
the old fashioned methods. After the NOW
ing is done number of poles about ten
feet in length, and provided with trans
verse pegs, are set up at intervals and the
grass is loosely heaped upon them. The
result is said to be excellent Even in wet
weather only small portion forming the
outside of the pile is discolored, while the
inner portions, exposed to the air beneath
and protected from the rain above, are
dried in perfect condition. Moving can be
carried on in spite of wind and rain, and
when once the grass is placed upon the
drying poles it may be left without fear of
serious damage until the weather changes.

The law prohibiting the killing of a calf
before it has attained the proper age is Sc
we're and stringent. 1t provides that any
any person who kills, or causes to be killed,
with intent to sell the meat thereof for
family use, a calf of less than four weeks,
or knowingly sells or has in his possess
ion such meat, with the intent to sell the
same for such use to a foreign market, shall
be imprisoned not more than six months or
fined not more than $500. 1t would be
proper for the purchasers of meat to look
we'll to this matter, and to exercise the
best judgment as to whether they believe
all the veal offered for sale in our market
has attained the sufficient age to make it
marketable, as well as palatable. 1t will
also be of interest to those who sell meats
to exercise care in this matter.

Thousands of Wives Wanted.

A novel appeal for wives has been re
ceived by the Mayor Of Boston from W
A. Wheelwright, Mayor of Tacoma,
Washington. The writer says that tht
Territory of Washington, and the city o
Tacoma, in particular, are filled with so
Der, industrious and enterprising men
most of them young, who are desirous o
marrying
The letter says that there are about ter
men to every woman in the Territory. and
is followed by resolve ''that the Mayor
and Common Council of Tacoma appeal tC
the people of Massachusetts to send al
the women of marriageable age that car
be spared to the Territory and city, with {
view to making pleasant the homes o
thousands Of able bodied, industrious
young men who would be glad to marry
Another resolve is to the effect that the
proclaim alton be forwarded to the Mayor
of Boston with the urgent revuest that il
be published broadcast throughout tho
State.

An insect, called the ''buffalo dy," is
causing farmers much uneasiness in some

sect pieroes the brain, and the animal dies.
One farmer reports the insec as eating into
the milk-veins of his cows. Thoroughly
coating the horn with gas tar or fish oil
will prevent the insect from attaching il
self TO the horn.

We wish to give cur farmer friends a
warning, which they should carefully con-
slider. Whenever they have been unable
to meet interest payments on mortgages
and the loan companies are pressing them
and demanding deeds, we warn them in
no case to give deeds for their land, unless
their notes are returned to them at the
same time. The following are the reasons:
lst-A deed for the land does net pay
the debt.
2nd-The company by taking the land
have the debt and the land, too.
3rd-They can sell the land at a nominal
figure and credit the price on the debt, thus
getting the land and holding the balance
against the mortgagors.
4th-If the company wish to foreclose
let them DO so. Then be on hand the day
of the sale, and see that the land sells for
the amount of the debt or as nearly so as
possible.
So farmers, pay your interest; if you
can't, don't give deeds; but follow the course
laid down above. Don't forget this

Exposure to the direct rays of the sun,
without shade or shelter. is to cause great
suffering to swine and sheep. During the
heat of the day the animals will cease
grazing and seek shade. A visit to the
pasture will show exposed stock to be
painting and suffering from the heat.
The tomato bushes must now be exam
ined daily or the large green worms will
strip off the leaves.
Leaving the wagons and tools out in the
sun is often the cause of some of the parts
