Thre.-Horse Farmer.

Three-korse teams are rarely seen. It is
difficult TO assign good reason for this,
as much farm work can be done with
more economy and ease with a three
horse team than with the usual two
horse one. Especially is this true of the
spring blowing. Horses come out of the
stable in the spring with softened muscles
and tender shoulders. The work pushes
and more is required of horses than is
good for them. An ordinary breaking
pillow is too heavy for common teams this
time of the year. if as much land is turned
as an energetic farmer thinks necessary.
a three-horse team makes the work
easy. More and better work is done by
the driver. In point of economy as we'll
as speed there is little heavy farm work
for horses in which three are not better
than either two or four. Then why not
try it? For breaking plows no simpler
adjustment of the point OF attaching draft
of a trebletree is found than on a block Of
wood bolted on side of end OF beam.
Three horses abreast can do nearly as
much az four as usually hitched. In all
respects, except for turning with rollers,
harrows, etc, the three-horse team is pref
cradle 10 the iour-horse one.

The Bermu,lus.

In the market reports of the early
spring, before the gardener or truck far
mer has his potatoes and other early vege-
tables fairly started Bermuda" stock is
quoted at prices that are tantalizing to the
home grower. Bermuda potatoes sell in
New York for S. 10 IS per barrel, toma-
toes s. 10 81 per bushel and onions the
same. Prices decline rapidly as soon as
Florida stock reaches the market. Our
readers will be interested in the following
account OF the Bermuda islands written
by Russell Hastings:
THE Bermudas are a group of islands
numbering 3G5 in all. of which ony twelve
or fifteen are inhabited, and having an
area, all told, OF only 1900 acres. They
are situated 600 miles due southeast from
New York, 500 miles due east OF Charles
ton, S. c., and $50 miles south of Halifax,
n. 5. The group extends from northeast
TO southwest in n direct line about two
miles. 1t is a British colony and an army
and navy stronghold. The population is
5000, a God-iearing people. Between
November and April the Thermometer
ranges iron so to "A degrees, and during
the summer months the temperature
is never higher than SO degrees. About
1900 acres are under cultivation, on which
are raised, during tho winter months,
onions, potatoes tomatoes, beets, peas and
all the garden vegetables. About 100000
bushels of onions, 10000 barrels of pota-
toes, 900 boxes Zone peck each) of
tomatoes, 5000 bushels of beets and few
peas, lettuce and such things are sent to
New York and other L. S. ports each
winter"

The report OF the commissioner Of the
general land office for the fiscal year
ending the 30th of June, 1891, contains
much that is OF interest to the farmer. No
thought az over-production or increased
competition among the farmers OF this
country troubles the public servant who
seems 70 think that man serves the people
hes. who gets rid of the public domain the
quickest. He quotes from the report OF
his predecessor to prove that the great
national gift enterprise is being run under
the present management at high pres
sure unknown in former years.
He quotes as follows from his predeces.
sor's report: AT the outset of my admin
istration | was confronted with over
ehelming evidences that the public
domain was being made prev of un-
scrupulous speculation and the worst
forms of land monopoly through system
attic fraud carried on and consummated
under the public laws"
In criticism of such a law he says: EN-
te-taining such views, it was but natural
Il. the commissioner should in every
Way possible impede the transaction OF
bu-iness in the bureau"
by his own statement no such trIfes az
"impeded" the distribution OF our public
domain to any one who wanted to enter
into competition with the farmer were
allowed TO stand too much in the way,
and under the changed order OF business
and legal constructions" he was able TO
issue IL, eco agricultural patents for pub
lie land last year. as against 24,55S by his
predecessor. The acreage OF public lands
disposed of during the last fiscal year is
10,477 200 acres.
He speaks of his disposal OF public land
as being expeditions" q claim that will
be readily granted by eastern farmers who
have borne the injustice OF bearing a share
OF setting up tens of thousands Of foreign
ers, as well as others. in business to rem
der the competition more severe and the
profits on their eastern highly-taxed farms
less and less each year.
At q time when these western lands are
overwhelming eastern producers, the self
Qualification of the guardian of our public
domain for his expedition in disposing OF
the land, coupled with criticism OF the
course Of his predecessor in Withholding
patents when there was evidence of fraud,
will not commend itself to the farmers
When every safeguard is used, enough Of
lhe nations wealth is given away each
year to keep our farmers crippled by the
increased competition.

National Crop Reports.

The farmers are learning to value the
crop reports issued by the government,
and the benefits that may be derived from
them are rot reaped alone by grain
gamblers and spectators. While greater
degree Of accuracy Is desirable, the very
nature of the work forbids exactness. The
figures given are only estimates, but thew
give the conclusions of trained observers
and are the best data obtainable. In most
respects the bulletins issued are undeserv-
ing of any unfrieudly criticism.
If, however, the desire is to Get the
farmers TO welcome these monthly reports,
IL il an error 10 incorporate in them any
partisan politics. The crop reporting is q
business venture and the people do not
care to pay for the propagation of any
principles of a pure partisan character.
This tendency To try to educate the farm
ers along certain lines for the benefit of
tho political party In power has been
noticeable for some time. One OF the
latest is intended to remove the growing
prejudice of farmers against excessive
tariff duties.
The claim is made that Canadian farm
ers are quite convinced that the Ameri-
can tariff on barley is a tax on the Cana
dian producer. Arguments on the ques-
ton who pays the tariff tax are found pro
and con in profusion IN plenty of publica-
tions without the farmers having to be
treated to the opinion OF their paid serv-
ant, whose duty it is to gather crop stats
tics. The opportunity of reaching the
farmer through his crop report may be
tempting, but il is poor policy to crafty
such desire. II the reports are made pop
ular they must be restricted TO their true
work and let politicians use other means
for the propagation OF peculiar political
views

GREAT
INDUCEMENTS
For hQ6ntS
TO GET SUBSCRIBERS FOR
INDIANA'S
GREAT
WEEKLY!
Send For an Outfit and Go
to Work at Once!

The greatest and most attractive
special offer that THE STATE
SENTINEL has ever made to its
agents.
The thirty splendid prizes de-
scribcd below will be given free of
cost, F. o. E., indianapolis, to the
thirty canvassers who send us the
thirty largest lists of subscribers to
THE STATE SENTINEL between
the dates of Oct. 20, 1891, and the
1st of May, 1892.
Every agent will be entitled to
retain the commission on each sub
scription he secures, as per our cir
cular of rates to local agents, or
premiums may be selected for clubs
in accordance with our Premium
list. The prizes are intended as
extra compensation for extra work.
It will be seen, therefore, that,
even if he or she fail to win a prize,
every agent will be well paid for
work done in our behalf. We wish
to lay particular stress upon this
fact, as our regular terms and pre-
MUM offers to agents are exceed
ingly liberal Another important
point is that these prizes will be
competed for by Local Agents only;
the large subscription agencies,
against whom local agent can have
no chance, will be barred from par
ticipation, hence a comparatively
small club will be likely to win the
first prize. This should encourage
every one of our readers to enter
the lists.
Over TX months-the best in the
year for newspaper work-will
elapse before the prizes are award
ed, so that if only spare time be
utilized in the canvass for subscrib-
ers a very handsome result can be
achieved.
Let us urge upon every reader to
60 to work at once.
We shall be glad to supply sam
pie copies and subscription lists to
all who will apply for them.
A good plan would be for every
worker to send us a list of names,t to
whom we will send sample copies.
After the parties have had time to
examine the paper, the aeoat can
call upon them with every prospect
of securing a subscription from
each.
With the addition of Mrs. Hen
bricks Popular History of Indi-
ana" the work of securing sub
scribers will be very easy.
1t will not be necessary to send
all the subscribers at one time; they
had better be sent as fast as OBJ
tanned, each agent numbering his
names from one up. If five names
be sent with the first order they
should be numbered from one to
five; the second order should COM
mence with number six, and so on.
Each agent will be credited with
every subscription sent.
Two six months subscriptions
will count as one yearly.
When subscribers take advantage
of our Premium or Clubbing Lists,
each combination subscription will
count as one: in other words, only
subscriptions to THE STATE SEN
TIEEL will count.
Cash must invariably accompany
the order.

follows: Fall wheat, % bushels; oats, 40
bushels; rye, Is bushels; corn Tin ear,
55 bushels potatoes, 200 bushels; man

yield per acre for these crops in our
country for ten years. They are as fol-
lows: Wheat. IL bushels; corn, "a bush.

when we bear in mind that our enormous
wheat yield gives Us an average OF only Is
bushels per acre, the highest probably
ever known, we can gee how far we arc
behind our northern neighbors.
In this connection we give the official
estimates for the Manitoba crop for 1891 :
Wheat, 26 bushels; oats, 90 bushels; po-
tatoes, 1856 bushels. In 1890 the yield OF
wheat and oats was not so great, but pota-
toes yielded 235 per acre.

Cabb.Ee.

Within few miles Of the writer scores
OF acres OF land are devoted to cabbage
growing, and money is being made in the
business. Cabbages require rich soil,
and one that is retentive of moisture.
Seven thousand plants can be set on an
acre, two-thirds of which should form
good heads. The price varies much, but
4 cents per head in the field is not far
from an average for all years except the
few when the market is overstocked, and
then like potatoes there is no sale at any
price.
The cost OF raising is not greater than
that of potatoes. The plants are grown
from the seed on the farm, and men be-
come so expert in setting the plants that
the cost is small. The work is done with
n small stick, with hole made and the
dirt pressed TO the roots after the plants
are stuck in. The entire operation re-
quires hardly more that a moment. An
expert can set 5000 plants in day.
For field planting the late. hard headed
varieties arc always best, as the demand
is small before the time for winter storage
and the making of saurkraut. Too much
care can not be used in buying the seed.
Twice within recent years have the grow
ers OF whom we write been deceived by
dealers and sown seed of early varieties,
thus entailing heavy losses.
The best cabbage is raised when FREE
quent civilizations are given. Rich. sandy
bottom land is adapted to cabbage grow
ing. Some OF our readers may find i prof
table to grow few acres. Do not plant
too early, as there is danger OF the crop
maturing and rottening before winter,
The last of May OF the first half of June,
according 10 latitude, is best for field
crops. Transportation is costly, and
market within reach should be assured
before any great acreage is devoted to the
production OF cabbage.

Talks for Farmer Boys-No. 3.


The albuminoids, or muscle-formers, are
often designated by the word protein.
They are also called the heterogeneous com
pounds, as nitrogen is u chief element.
The carbohydrates are often spoken of as
nitrOgen-free extract. In feeding animals
we want to give them these elements in a
proportion suited to their needs. Ii they
are working, the protein must be in
creased. Ii fattening the amount OF car
bo-hydrates. The relation between these
two classes of elements is called the ratio.
A pound OF vegetable lat Is worth two and
and half times az much as n pound of
carbo-hy drates for making heat of lat, and
in getting the ratio the amount OF fat IL
multiplied by two and half. and the re-
suit added 10 the carbohydrates.
BY careful experiment il has been found
that the nutritive ratio-the proper ratio
between the musce-forming part of the
food and the heat or iat-fOrming OF Young
pigs il ] 4, j. e., there should be one pound
albuminoids for four pounds OF the fat
formers. The analysis OF corn shows the
ratio 10 be IS. We can thus see why
corn is not fit food for pig when used
exclusively. 1t does not make growth.
Wheat bran has ratio OF 40. which is
about the proportion that the young
growing stock requires.
These foods are mentioned rs illustra-
tons. All foods have been analysed and
the ratio of their elements determined. 1t
has also been found that some foods are
more digestible than others, and go tables
of digestibiity are given with tables of
analysis. The subject of scientific feed
ing is full of interesting facts, aud knowl-
edge of them should be obtained by all
farmer boys. You should get a good man
