The pear is not a success in any
country on low dark-cOlored drift soils.
1t is an upland tree and reaches its high
est development on sites where it can
have soil and air drainage. We now
have varieties as hardy as the Duchess
apple, which means that ON suitable sites
we will grow pears profitably in all the
northern States, and in Canada.
Hoods Sarsaparilla positively cures
even when all others fail. 1t has a rec
ord of successes unequalled by any other
medicine.
"A writer in Hoard's Dairyman says
that ''fat cannot be fed into milk, that a
COW that is fully developed, giving say
thirty pounds of five per cent milk, will
put five per cent fat in her milk so long
as she gives thirty pounds of milk per
day, and | de not care what you feed
her. There may be slight variations
from day to day, but they are from other
causes"
Grass seems to be king of all our
crops, says the Scottish Farmer, which
means that the country is passing more
from grain into farm stock. In the
British Islands there are about two and
a third millions more cattle than there
were in 1868. There are also about TO-
600 more horses, but sheep are now few
Ell by about two millions than they were
in 1868.
I'VE cannot rob the soil and expect
great revenues year after year. The sue
cessful gardener is the one who has the
best goods for the best market, and we
realize this more and more every year.
The coarse, rough, unstable vegetable
is thing of the past, not of the future.

EARN OWNERSHIP

Vermont farmers will be interested in
bulletin just issued by the census
bureau, which shows to what extent the
farmers of Connecticut own their homes
and what proportion hire farms. The
bulletin shows that 17.6S per cent of the
farm families hire and 1922 per cent
own the farms cultivated by them; that
81. 10 per cent of the farm-owning fami-
lies own subject to incumbrance and
$3.50 per cent own free of incumbrance
On the owned farms of the Nutmeg
State there are liens amounting to
50, 56T, 1856, which is 1854 per cent of
their value and this debt bears interest
at the average rate Of 5.o7 per cent, max
ing the average annual interest charge
$40 to each family. Each owned and in
numbered farm on the average is worth
So, 10 and is subject to debt of 81, 266
rhe tendency in many other sections
of the country is to increase the number
of leased farms, The successful farmer
is often inclined to buy additional farms
as his wealth increases and lease then
to bis less fortunate neighbors, and the
older he grows the more rapidly does
his power of acquisition necessarily in
crease. In new country ON the other
hand, like many parts of the West, the
farmlands are at first generally owned
by those who occupy them, although
they are heavily encountered. In few
years, comp 'rttively, followinga natur-
al law, the shiftless and improvident
farmers yield up their lands to more
sue ,ssful tillers of the soil and become
lessees, and this tendency increases as
the country grows older. If people
lived longer than they do the farming
lands would soon pass into the control
of comparatively small number of men
in each town, but the frequent distribu-
ton of estates at the death of their pos
SCISSORS counteracts this tendency to a
certain degree.
In Connecticut a surprisingly large
number of people, according to the sta
tistics, own the farms they occupy, fifty
seven out of every hundred farm fani-
lies without encumbrance and twenty
five with encumbrance, leaving only
eli ghteen out of every hundred farmers
who lease farms, which it must be ad-
mitted is a creditable showing.

If we are riding over the country
and happened to come in sight of farm
where everything is kept trim, how very
much we admire it and what great de-
sire we have to go into the house and
have talk with the inmates. We in
variably find such people refined, and in
the house there is plenty of good reading
that tends to make people who read it
better.

Three pages of letters are printed by
the American Economist in answer to
questions which it addressed to repre-
sentative manufacturers as to the prob
able result of the proposed Reform Club
Tariff bill upon the industry and labor
of the United States. Without exception
they condemn the contemplated measure
as ruinOus and suicidal. The retort of
the Mugwumps will doubtless be
that Democratic tariff bills are not
framed for the benefit of manufacturers
and that is true. Or not for the benefit
of American manufacturers, at any rate.
