Farming as q Business.
Oregon Agrlculturist

It Is q remarkable fact, but none the
less true, that the successful farmers
are readers 81 agricultural papers and
agricultural literature of all kinds.
They make study Of their business,
and by keeping posted on what Others
are doing In the farming line, are al
ways able to take advantage of improv-
Cd methods. There are many farmers
who honestly think that they are not
to blame .kecause their cows do not
yield more than $50 pounds Of butter
in year. and other crops in like pro-
portion. Because they work hard they
feel that they have done their full duty
and when they realize that they are
continually running behind, become
discouraged, and say there is no money
in farming. True, and thee never
will be for those farmers. =, In the COM
mercial world large per centage of
the business men fail, largely due. to
incapacity. 1t takes just as much, II
not more ability to successfully run a
farm as commercial business. There
was, perhaps, time when it did not,
bu, that time has passed never to re-
turn. In times of general depression
the business of farming is NO worse
than any othsr business. There is
money in farming for the brainy farm
err, and there always will be. There 10

knows how to care for his fruit trees SO
that they will yield good. clean fruit.
there will be no money Ia it for him.
and according to his experience, no
money in the business. A writer in an
exchange says on the subject:
"The trouble is, not that farming is
going to the dogs, and that the coun
try has no more use fer farmers, but
largely, because they are so obstinately
welded to old ideas and methods.
Business methods have been literally
during the last sixty
years, and without complaint from
business men; but the average farmer
hates radical changes more than he
hates sin, and never would change
without the stimulous of something
like financial ruin or starvation.
"If the season of low prices is hard
on farmers, it has its phases Of agood.
1t forces them to think, and that to the
man .sot IN his ways, is the most disa-
greeahle OF ali work. He hates think
ing as applied to his business, and
the methods Of his grandfather. or
great-grandfather would still be in
vogue. coold he have his way"

Onion Culture.
Correspondence OF Garden and Farm.

| a r
Onions may be grown by three differ
ent me thods--by sewing the seeds III
the open ground in spring, by planting
sets. or by starting the seeds updef
glass. and atterward transplanting the
seedlings out Of doors. The trst Two
ways are more commonly pracuced'
but the third is undoubtedly more proh-
able, although entailng more trouble
and labor. This has been called the
new onion culture, but the method IS
by no means new. 1t has been prac'
ticed liz Great Britain for number OF
years for the, production, principally OF
exhibition specimens. Grown unoer
any circumstances, however, onions are
far more reliable as crop on this slde
of the Atlantic than in England, where
the onion maggot is such a persistent
and destructive enemy.
We grow onions here under all three
methods, and each has its advantages
Those sown in spring are used in green
state; the sets which mature early, we
depend on for general summer use,
while the others are kept for fall and
winter. The first two methods are SO
generally known that cultural direc-
tions here would probably be OF little
service, but description OF the third
method may be useful to some who have
not tried it. We SOW the seeds thiHly
in fats. early in March, in ordinary pot
ting soil, and place them in green
house with night temperature OF 90
TO so degrees. We keep them only
moderately moist until they are well
started, when plenty of wateris given.
In April they are moved tocoid frames,
and gradually hardened off, and in May
they are planted in the open ground
Sowing in flats is most convenient,
where Only limited supply is needed,
but If grown on large scale, it is bet
ter to SOW them in q hotbed, from which
they can be transplanted quite as con-
veniently. Hardening off must in no
case be neglected The ground must
be well titled and literally MANFRED.
The young plants should BE set In rows
one foot APART, and eight inches allow
ed between the plants. An impression
should be made just large enough 10 IN
sert the roots; The small bulbs should
not be covered.
When the roots have good hold OF
the soil, which will be in about a week
after planting, it is well to go along
with foot on each side of the line, and
tread the so firmly, choosing dry
day, when the surface of the sell will
not be cloggy. All thai will be requir-
ed after this is to keep the surface well
stirred with n hoe, so as to suppress
the weeds, and help to retain the moist
ure In the ground. By the measure
ments of q sample growth by each OF
the three methods, the folio wing re-
suits are shown: Those grown in the
open ground now average seven inches
in circumference, and may swell just d
little yet; the sets average eight inches
and are done swelling; those sown in
side and transplanted, average ten and
one-hal inches, and look as If they
would grow quite little more. 1t is
useless to grow many varieties by this
latter method. Prizetaker and Yellow
Globe Danvers are two that are most
and they are also excellent
keepers.

COTTON.

1t is in our opinion that very grave
error is committed by the press, when
it publishes to the world that greatly
increased importation of horses and
mules into the South, and an increased
or early and rapid purchase Of fertili
gers by the farmers all indicate that an
/. increased acreage will this season be
devoted to cotton. There is no ques-
ton in our mind but what the price OF
cotton is influenced by other causes
than the legitimate law of supply and
demand. 1t is conceded now by those
who pretend to know, that the good
prices prevailing in the fall was due to
speculation that the "bulls" bouyed
the market beyond its natural conai-
ton. If this be true then it naturally
follows that contrary action of the
''bears'' would depress the market.
Every effort is now being made by in
terested spectators and manufacturers
to depress the present cotton market by
all the resources at their command;
prominent amongst which is the effort
to overshadow the supply now on hand
by an immense crop this season, and to
this idea the press and people only
lend their aid when they talk about
increased acreage, importation of stock
etc. Now the truth about the whole
matter is, that there is only a fixed
amount of labor engaged in cotton pro-
duction in the South, and it is not be-
ing augmented as labor in other sec.
tions is by inning, alton and can only
cultivate a certain or fixed acreage.
This acreage can only yield an average
amount annually, which can only be
made to fuctuaIe by seasons, fertilizers
cultivation and new lands brought into
cultivation yielding more than old land
which is abandoned The purchase of
stock is the result of labor being in pos
session of extra money from the acct
dental good prices of last fall and they
set up for themselves instead of work
ing on shares AS last season, but this
will not only not increase the acreage,
hut tend to decrease the crop as the Ia
Dor will probably not produce so much
as under supervision. Many mules go

imported horses will not make crops

sections in the same year, with ro aug
mentation of la Dor, we are at loss to
see how or where the 1200J,OOO bale
crop predicted by some is to come ir.
The only compensation for the fsrces
working the present depression is the
posi- bic result of lettering the farmers
from mourning heavy liabilities for the
next crop-anticipating low price
and the lesson it should teach of home
supplies being the only means of sal
walton under any and all circumstances.

We believe in working convicts, eth
err on county farm from which at GER
tain seasons of the year they could be
worked on the public roads to advan-
tsge in constructing pixies and bridges,
or working them altogether on the
public roads the entire time. We doubt
the practicability and satisfaction of
the present contract system Of work
ing the roads, the reasons for which we
cannot for want of space give in this
article Our roads are far from what
they should be, as any man in the
county of sound judgment must ad-
nit They require work every day in
the year by permanent force, under
the best of management. Because this
county made an abortive effort at this
kind of work, is no reason that a con-
vict can not be utilized by the county
when the only cost will
be the "bosses" to keep him at work.
The convict should not only pay his
fine, but for his keeping also. Our
Board of Supervisors had better put on
their studying caps" and cogitate not
only when in session, but riding along
the road, at night, rainy days, and odd
times if they expect to give us a wise
and efficient county administration.

A Georgia Road.
SPLENDID MACADAMIZED HIGH
WAY BUILT MAINLY
BY CONNECTS.

While in Georgia last summer. had
an opportunity OF examining road
made by convicts, Half way out from
Fort Valley to the Hale's peach orchard,
we came upon the "chain-gang" at
work. The first thing we saw white
man sitting under a tree with loaded
rifle in his hands. while up the road at
some distance sat another similarly
armed. Between them worked a squad
of l2 or 5 colored convicts., Each wore
a striped suit, and had an iron ball
chained to his leg. While they work.
ed, this ball and chain were fastened
around the waist. Several we're driv-
ing mules and scrapers, while others
worked with pick and shovel. They
were all hard at work and, apparently
good natured and happy. Later we
saw where they spent the night. A
large tent was pitched at the edge OF
of a wood, with small, open fires burn
ing near it. After their supper OF corn
bread and molases. salt pork and fruit,
the convicJs crawled into the tent where
they were chained for the night.
After an hour of singing and talking,
they fell asleep and snored contentedly
till day break, when they were crowded
cut for breakfast and another day on
the road.
IL was said that all the roads in Hous-
ten county were made by convict,.
There were no jails for petty Offend
ers; but as fast as convicted, they were
sent out to the changing and put to
work. At first thought, the sight OF
that armed guard and the stories of
whippings that were told, made the
whole thing seem like relic of barba-
rous age. Yet, saw enough to con-
vince me that those eonvicts were bet
ter off working on that road than they
would have been cooped up in hot
Jail, and subject to all the evils OF idle
ness. would be glad to see the fat
and lazy inmates of our northern jails
out on the roads at work. If drunk
ard, a thief or a wife beaten were made
to understand that falling ment hard
and constant labor on the road, such
people would think good many times
before they duplicated the crime that
forced them into such service.
As to the character of the work done |
by these Georgia convicts, there can be
no doubt, of its value. i have nev.r
seen heater work done on a country
road. They went straight through a
rough country, cutting through hills.
and filing low places in thoroughly |
manner The cost to the
county was ridiculously small as com |
pared with the uinal system OF con-
tracing.
