France and Russia crushed Germany, be
said, who would be the gainerf Russia
would certainly then devour France. Ger
many wes the bulwark of Western Europe
against Russian invasion. Talking with
correspondent of the Noroe Premyra, of
st. Petersburg. the ex- chancellor declaged
that Austria WAS not SO near decay as peo-
Pile imagined. Germany needs Austria for
the same reason that Russia needs France.
War between Germany and Russia would
be the great mistake, but waa, for many
reasons. almost impossible. The labor

Wire and Picket Fence.

When only four wires are used-a pair
near the bottom and pair near the top
of the slsts-a first-elass fence cannot be
made; yet such fence is frequently to be
seen. The maker thereof may think
that he is economical, but he Is really ex-
travagant. Six wires should be used-a
pair along the middle ofthe Stats. Anoth-
er fault in building this fence-and re-
rious one-lies in not driving the Stats
hard enough.
We have just completed eighty rods Of
this fence. The posts are of white oak,
seasoned. The stats are of hickory cut
when the bark p,eiel off, hence very
hard when seasoned, and free from
worms. Six wires are used and We saw
that the pickets were driven hard. The
pickets make the fence feet 8 inches,
and wire is stretched just above the
pickets TO strike fowls on the breast and
knock them back when they attempt to
fly over. This fence is fowl-proof, and
that is why We built it. 1t is ALSO pig
tight, and Notwithstanding all that has
been said to the contrary, 1t is next to
impossible to make a pig-proof fence by
using all wire and keeping within the
limit of reasonable cost. The wire and
slat fence sold already woven is frequent

COO Earning and small Farms

The idea of unlimited seres, and farm
operations on large Fcsie. is very active
10 some tillers Of the SOL, particularly
those who are Young. There are two
sides 10 this question. h7weyef, as 20
most Others II ore has large capital,
he can, Of course, extend us business 70
anv limit that seems profitable but ior
the farmer whose only cspiiAi Is the
small farm he owns. thc is coarse =
70 crowd that little farm 70 lis utmost
limit Of prodnctiveness. b-ioTe be seeks
10 acquire more land, unless It be an ex-
ceptional case where large returns are
certain.
Note some Of the points Of advantage
in working a small but rich FARM The
taxes are less than on large far.a that
is no more productive in total results
The expense OF working the smaller
place viii be much less. The actual
labor eqlired on the part Of the farmer
himself viii be less He viii be freed
from the constant worry and care that
accompany the ca.tigaiiol OF large acres
Lsss hired help will be needed. There
will le fewer fences to keep in repair
and less expense for fertilizers when
there is a concentration Of these.
Now given the small place in fair
state Of productiveness, let US see if bet
ter farming on the present area cannot
be made profitable. When the soil has
been properly prepared for the crop, and
the usual amount Of dressing applied
tie farmer Is at a point where he can
say, "shall put in this crop and get the
usuAl average results, or shall double
the yield by increased cultivation and in
creased fertilization p
Barring accidents that are outside Of
mans control. the ordinary yield can be
doubled without doubling the labor or
tie amount Of dressing A certain
amount Of plant fooi is necessary to start
the crop and produce the stalk. Ifthe
supply gives out at this point, there viii
be small returns 9t harvest time It IS
Just here that so much failure occurs in
flrming. Tne expenss Of preparing the
soil aud furnishing a certain amount Of
dressing is incurred and here the planter
stops. as also does his crop. Ii is the
extra feed beyond that which is required
10 produce the plant itself that pays.
Better put all the fertilizer and all the
cultivation on a smaller area. 1t IS the
same in other farm operations. The food
that will do little more than keep the life
in two animals will bring prof, if fed
10 one. j. Is the extra feed beyond that
which is required 10 sustain life which
gives a prof. in growth, in milk, in
butter and IN other animal products. In
fact, il Is good farming that pays, and as
rule, good farming Is possible for the
man with small capital, only in cultiva-
ting limited areas. a good formula for
selfcommuuion for the one who really is
ambitious 10 make agriculture a success
Is somewhat like the following: Il am
going to raise better calves, better lambs,
better colts. better pigs aud poultry this
year than ] raised last year. | am going
