GOOD REASONS FOR BUTTER
MAKING.

At q recent farmers institute in
Michigan dairyman surz-Aad up the
following reasons in favor OF butter
making;
First-That It is the business upon
tho farm that permits the most abso-
Lutte control over conditions OF produc-
tion and distribution of product, hence
the most profitable
second--It is the highest art Of farm
ing. because II combines all other
lines and gives greater opportunity for
executive and manufacturing skill.
Third-It Is most free from ire
sponslble and destructive competition
by necessity of It's character and by
the personal equation OF the Individual
product.
Fourth--It is n more exact line OF pro-
ductlon, permitting gross receipts 10
be forecast with greater exactness;
hence the greater possibilities OF In
crensing net receipts, either by lower
ing expenses or increasing volume OF
product. ,
Fifth-It permits the employment OF
labor AZ the season OF the year when
farm labor is cheapest, II winter dairy
ing Ia followed.
sixth--of all the products sold from
the farm buttar takes the least Ter
tiilty and restores the greatest amount
to the farm, and II is well known that
the most fertile sections of the coun-
try are where butter farming Is FOL
lowed.

ing the largest main stem. From the

The bed should be gone over every day
and all shoots that are four inches
above tho surface OF the soil should be
broken on II allowed TO grow taller

part. The white portion is not edible.

as much food from the soil as do the

We do not approve OF planting as
paragus sets in trenches, az the books
tells us to do, says the Rural New
Yorker. Instead, "the crowns shall be
n foot below the surface" we would
have them not over two inches below
the surface, since all OF the stalk from
the root to and somewhat above tho
soil Is tough and woody. There IN JUS
that much waste OF stem and, conse-
quently, just that much waste OF the
plants vigor, and OF the food necea-
sary TO feed the waste; for, II must be
borne in mind that It Is only the tip
that grows. The tip Is, therefore. the
youngest and tenderest part OF the
Oldest and toughest part being nearest
the root Bear In mind, too, that a
shoot once cut or frozen grows no
more.
Again, we do not see why 1t IL better
to fertillze asparagus plots or fields.
not until after the cutting season Is
over, and the shoots are permitted to
develop foliage Writers argue that
the roots have stored up nutriment
enough for the shoots, and that the
plants should get the benefit OF the
food SD as to Insure their thrifty
growth and enable them again to
store up food for the next springs
crop. IT is true that the roots OF as
paragus plants are rather fleshy, but
il ia through those feshy roots that
the shoots get their food, and to weak

rest OF the summer and fail. our be-
lief is-we do not pretend to have
made comparative trials--that the
best time TO apply the bone and potash
is just before the buds begin TO push
in the spring.
Were we establishing another as
paragus bed. we would select only
male plants. We would allow the seed
ling plants to bloom and select only
those bearing male blossoms. Some
years ago 1t was reported that the
shoots OF male plants averaged much
larger than those OF females. We
marked a certain number OF our larg-
est shoots while six inches tall to find
when the shoots had become bushes
and were In bloom that there were as
many males us females. The worst
weed Of the asparagus bed is asparagus
itself.

Practically without exception the ex-
nerirnents conducted In a dozen states,
bv practical men with scientific nc-
cnracy. have given results in favor OF
the shallow cultivation or corn as
oomnared with deep cultivation. IN
every case cutting the roots OF the
corn reduced the yield. The best re-
sults are not got by thorough prep
aration of the ground before planting,
and after that stirring the ground TO

The farm papers all coincide THAI, as
rule, farmers attempt to cultivate too
much land, 1t is fact, and one to be
deplored, that almost every one spreads
his efforts over too much territory.
The boast is how many acres of crops
one has grown and not how much per
acre. u neighbor took pride In saying
that he had put In seventy acres OF
spring crops. but another who had
only twenty-five acres OF land
made more net money from
1t than the former did with his
whole farm of 100 acres. Now. which
was the wiser and better farmer? A
long time ago some one printed
pamphlet with this title: Ten Acres
Enough" Large farmers thought the
author n crank. But n correspondent
of the Farm and Fireslde names and
locates man who supports himself,
wife and six children from the pro-
ducts of his farm" OF two acres and
lays up money besides. He has neither
greenhouse nor nearby city markets TO
facilitate his operations. He resides in
a country place where land ia cheap
and transports his goods to a village
market considerable distance away.

a load Of manure that costs him moth
