How to Make High-Priced Land Pay
Handsome Profit.
One of my ncighbors, by manuring
literally and emitting the cabbages on
every third row of his cabbage piece,
er time, succeeded in raising two eX-
cellent crops the same season. TO sue
ceed in this arrangement, the cabbage
must be one of the very earliest sorts,
SO that the ground may be entirely
cleared at an early day, and the soil
between the squash-rows be cultivated
until it is thoroughly light and fine.
The neutrality-suspicious. close by large
cities, on their thcusand-d -dollar-an- acre
land, must and do raise from two to
four crops annually, by aid of hotbeds
to start their stuff, and the stimulus of
near and large market in which they
can dispose OF products on large
scale, which would be worthless if
raised on an ordinary farm; still, farm
ers at large can do with profit more
than they now think possible in this
direction. Squashes and peas can be
raised profitably on the same land.
grew over 200 bushels of green peas
and five tons of squashes on the same
piece three years ago Beets, cabbage,
rye, barley and hungarian are all crops
which the average farmer can grow as
second crops. But when we attempt
to double-crop our land there is one
essential we must never forget, we
must manure accordingly, for no one
ever succeeded in cheating his land out

two copper-colorcd portieres.
He said he would and straightwuy

about his wife's order, but nothing def

sides the grating hook, are fine
toothed saw to cut off the stock,
sharp knife to smooth the cut and fit
the scions and small mallet A little
tallow used occasionally will prevent
the wax from sticking to the oper-
ator's fingers. In crown-grafting no
cleft is made across the stump. A
small stiletto or bodl1in is generally
inserted between the bark and the sap
wood of the tree and when it is with
drawn the scion is pushed down in it's
place. The scion is cut very thin and
sloping, the cut beginning opposite
bud where II shoulder is left to allow
it to rest more firmly upon the stock.
1t is not profitable to graft very large
branches, as it takes too long for the
wounds to heal over, and too much of
the tree ought not to be cut away at
one time. The cuts should be kept
waXed over for a year or two and all
suckers removed. Crown-grafting may
be done later in the season, when the
bark might be stripped from the stock
by the other method. Another ad-
vantage is that no wound is maze
across the stock, as in cleft-grafting.

to graft about planting time. There
are many different methods, such as
saddle, side. splice, whip or tongue,
cleft and crown grating. The last
two are the most simple to practice,
the most common and the most
likely to be successful in the
hands of novice. In cleft grating,
a branch is sawed off and the stump
so formed split ongitudinally across
the heart. Fig. illustrates a graft

COOPERATIVE HORSE BuYiN

Members of Farmers Associations Hav.
Made 1t Pay.
Of late years the practice of formins
stock companies among farmers for thu
purpose of buying high priced draf
stations or other breeding stock hal
proved very successful. The following
notes state the facts from the side of the
breeder. 1t seems as if this system
might be extended SO as to include tn
purchase of other articles.
A breeder writes:
"We have been in the business of sell
ing imported horses for the last twelve
years, and during that time at least 81
per cent. of all our sales have been made
to stock companies. We were the first
to adopt this mode of selling horses, anG
our experience confirms our first i'm
pressions-that it is the best way il
which stock horse can be owned. The
manifest advantages of this plan as we
have found them are these:
''First-If fifteen or twenty men com.
bine they can own better horse thar
one individual can, or at least they are
likely to do SO.
''Second-The horse is assured Of all
the work he can do from the start, and
that nothing succeeds like success
applies to horses as well as to anything
else.
s'Third-A man is not obliged to talk
horse all the time, as twenty good men
manifestly have more influence than
one.
'sFourth-By taking joint notes OF
notes for small sums, the paper becomes
absolutely good, and the seller has to
charge little OF it to profit and loss every
year, and by getting good paper he can
sell his stock on closer margins. All
over the west there are companies that
started ten years ago with one grade
horse which now have the third pure
bred horse which we have sold them,
and each time they have wanted bet
ter one than the last"
Another breeder writes:
We have done considerable business
in selling stations to clubs of farmers
and find it a very satisfactory way Of
dealing. We use the following forms
for making up clubs and preparing sat
isfactory papers:

The little family of three have a suite
of rooms at Manhattan Beach, over
looking the ocean, where in quiet retire
ment Miss Gilmore takes her summer
rest. She breakfasts at 9 o'clock, takes
lunch at and dimes at 6. Her meals
are served in her room, so that her con-
tact with the people of her hotel is scarce
indeed She prefers a warm bath to an
ocean plunge; therefore she is not to be
met in the surf.
Since school days are over, she travels
continually with her father and mother
on their tours, and in this way has seen
her own country very thoroughly and
also Travelled abroad. Miss Gilmore
does not belong to any club or society in
New Yerk, but she is member of the
Authors and Artists club of Kansas
City.
Her home is in Eighty-sixth street,
New York, where her writing is done.
She makes no endeavor to write while
on her travels or temporary sojourns,
but with the continual bent Of her mind
she absorbs everything surrounding her;
bits of conversation casually overheard,
small incidents unnoted by others, bits
of scenery everything is taken to &C
count. Upon inquiry as to how it was
possible for an unsophisticated young
girl to write with such worldly wisdom.

truly, she said, II always seem to know
more than hear; just as if you would
glance at a frame and know without
seeing what the picture is" Here was
proof of the intuitive sense, and it could
not have been better said. Her ''Son of
Esau" confirms it. This book is the
second one from her pen. The first one,
s'Pipes from Prairie Land" is d volume
in verse, which was well received by
the general reader as well as by the
critics.
Miss Gilmore has never had the dis
appointment or Encouragement of a
refusal from publisher. What she
writes goes. 1.-THE Son of Esau" was
accepted most readily and has been al
most enthusiastically received.
No one was consulted over this first
novel. It is child of her own brain,
born without an accoucheur. Her
mother never read it until it was tran
scribed by the typewriter. The pro-
fessor Cher father) said: 81 cannot I'M
derstand how this little girl, kept by us
as in clustered walls, has written this
book. / have not finished reading it,
but it is wonderful so far to me-"
Miss Gilmore spent about two years
time i'll writing her, ''Son of Esau."
This young lady's only concern is to
be successful writer. Society with its
insincerity is devoid Of attractions for
her. She intends to travel through the
west during the autumn, returning to
her home in New York few days
before Christmas.
