spread on the corn6eld. Winter comes
and the stables are all made warm and
comfortable, and provision is made for
saving all the manure. On looking back
we find that we harvested sixty tons of
corn, twenty of hay, five of oats and
peas, two OF buckwheat straw and forty
bushels Of buckwheat. Our stock con-
sists of two horses, ten cove, four
yearliDg heifers and few heifer calves,
with {, ed sufficient to curry them
through the winter. Two of the cows
will soon drop their calves, having
been dry about eight weeks. The other
eight cows came in milk from August
to November, and have done good work
through the winter. Here is their &C
count. We will call the feeding season
seven months and will reckon it for
that period. The dairy rations for each
cow for seven months would be hay,
$40 pounds, S12 60, silage, $500
pounds, so so; bran, $50 pounds,
Sc 90; cottonseed meal, 400 pounds,
So 25; buckwheat meal, 21O pounds,
SO Is, or S3S 43, aud for the eight COWS
1907 so. The cost per day would be
hay six cents, corn five cents, bran
three and one-half cents, cottonseed
ubGdl WV anu Out-udll CPulS dul
wheat meal one and one half cents or
eighteen and one-third cents The
eight cows bave averaged one pound of
butter each per day, making in the PIG
days $50 pounds, which sold for twenty
five cents per pound, amounting to
1920. They have paid for hay 300 30,
for corn 1884 and for buckwheat $25 20.
They have also returned the 1914
paid for bran and cottonseed meal and
have given a profit on the transaction
of S1l2 rs, besides leaving all the
manure made from my own fodder and
in addition that made from the cot
tonseed meal and bran, which is worth
at least $50
Being so well pleased with the results
we have resolved to do more in this line
next winter, and will begin prepare
tons now. The cornfeld will be sown
early with oats and peas, seeding at the
same time with clover, timothy and
red-top. The five acres where were
oats and pas and buckwheat will be
put to corn, and be well MANFRED. The
manure being better and more of it
this year, we must try to increase the
y cid of corn to eigh cen tons per
acre. Five acres of the old sod have
been broken up right along beside that
already under cultivation. If there are
swales they must be ditched. If any
obatructions, remove them, and if trees
they should be rooted out. This last
field is sown to oats and peas. Har-
vest time comes again and as we have
increased our store of fodder we must
increase the herd We have more
corn, ten acres of masins and five acres
of rowen. Continue on this same line
each year till the field we first seeded
fails to give two good crops per year.
Then return and go over the same land
in the same order, first with corn, seed
ing with clover and grass sown the time
of last cultivating, and never taking up
more of the old meadow than can be
handled in this way. This method of
farming not only develops the farm but
the farmer as well, giving him broader
and better conception of his business
and consciousness that he is accom-
plishing something.

IT really would be good thing if
each of our great daily papers would
employ a man who has at least an
elementary knowledge of agricultural
facts Here is the Springfield Repubt-
can showing for the thousandth time its
dense ignorance of the plainest truths,
thus: "When the free wool bill comes
up in the house the opposition should
be asked to explain how it is that under
free wool Great Britain supports about
240 sheep TO the square mile of thickly-
settled territory, while the United
States, with high tariff on wool, sup
ports less than fifteen sheep to the
square mile of thickly-settled and vastly
cheaper land" Isn't there anybody to
tell the man who penned these phe-
nomenally foolish lines that the Eng
lish are mutton eating people, and
that these sheep are bred for their meat,
the wool being a by-product? Eng
land, Scotland and Wales have vast
area of mountains and downs where
nothing else in the way of domestic an.
finals can be profitably kept except
sheep. "The best market in the world
for mutton, and lots of land good for
nothing else," is the open secret of the
whole matter.

AMERICAN GARDENING" the new
horticultural monthly formed by
uniting the American Garden and Pop
ular Gardening the two most widely
circulated publications of their class in
Americas as wonderfully cheap as it
is wonderfully good. In fullness of Illus
tration and quantity of reading matter,
it rivals the four-dollar monthlies; and
yet it is sold to yearly subscribers for
one dolar--or half the price of the
American Garden before their union
1t seemed to us risky as we'll as need
less thing to so reduce the price of this
costly publication. It's readers get
twice as much and twice as good for
half the money-and there is not a
rural family in this land that does not
stand in its own light so long as it fails
to snap at such bargain. 1t ought to
have half million of subscribers be-
fore the year is out-and will, if the
people know what is good for them.

RAILWAY NOTES,

CHICAGO, April 2S.-Chairman Finley of
the Western Passenger association has
again locked horns with the Rock Island,
and an interesting controversy IS III pro-
gress between him and General Passenger
Agent Sebastian 1t is n revival of the
question of whether the law or the chair
man should be obeyed in the matter of
adopting cut rates in the territory of the
Ohio River Traffic association rs basiuS
rates from western points. Mr. Finley
maintained that these rates could only be
used by unanimous consent of the mem
bers of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, and refused to authorize their
adoption from local points on the western
roads. The Rock Island, however, pnt the
rates into effect from all stations on its
line, as to do otherwise, they maintain,
would be violation of the Interstate com
merce law. Chairman Finley has written
to AIR Sebastian to say that. In the ab-
seuce of Il well defined application of the
law. no road has the right to construe 1t in
a way not IN harmony with the chair
mans Interpretation of the association
agreement In reply, the Rock Isand in
formed Mr.. Finley that the company will
obey the law Of the land rather than any
body's Interpretation of the Western Pass
enger association agreement. The dispute
will probably be settled at the May meet
ing of the association.
The bottom fell out of the crusade
against the ticket scalDers when the grand
jury decided TO return no indictments
against those charged with violations of
law. The railroad men are wondering
what right the grand jury had TO come TO
such decision, when there was no lack
of evidence that the law had been violated.
As a result of the failure of the movement
some of the general passenger agents eX
pressed themselves today rs opposed to
any reduction in rates during the worlds
fair. The belief is prevalent, h wever,
that rates will be reduced during the ex-
position.

thousand dollars were sent 10 Crow Creek

Chief White Ghost and other leading In

ment is not keeping faith with the In
dians, demanding an explanation direct to
himself, and not through the agent whom
he distrusts, aud closing as follows:
docs the government wish more blood
