Little Farms in japan.

Japan, and not France or Belgium.
would appear to be the land of petite
culture. According to a recent Ameri-
can bulletin a couple of acres is con-
sidered a large tract for farming pur-
poses Most of the farms are smaller,
and on a little plot surprising varie-
ty of crops is cultivated-a few square
feet of wheat, barley, maize, and millet;
a plot of beans, perhaps ten feet wide
by 20 fet long, a similar area of pota-
toes and peas, and patch of onions
"about as big as a grave" beetroot, let
tuce, turnips, sweet potatoes, and other
crops occupy the rest of the area. The
farmer examines his growing crops
every morning, just as an engineer in
spects his machinery, and if anything
is wrong he puts it right. If weed
appears in the bean patch he pulls it
up; if a hill of potatoes or anything
else fails it is at once replanted. When
he cuts down tree he always plants
another AS soon as one crop is har-
vested the soil is worked over, MANFRED
and forthwith resown to another crop.
It is estimated that nine-tenths of the
agricultural land of Japan is devoted
to rice, and as this is crop requiring
much water the paddy-ields are
banked up into terrices, one above an
other

PROFIT IN AMPUTATION.

A street gamin was yesterday
"shinin' up an elderly gentleman, who
was leaning against a building. He
was supported by two canes, which SO
attracted the attention Of the bootblack
that ne sought to know why they were
necessary. The gentleman explained
that he had an injured knee and was
thinking of having his leg taken of,
but he added that it would cost a
thousand dollars
"Myr' exclaimed the lad; that's an
awful pile of money! and then, after
a moments hesitation, he added, land
it might kill you"
But if it kills me- the gentleman
responded, "the doctors will give my
family $1,000"
The bootblack polished away fo1
some time, and then looked and re-
marked:
well, I'd have the darned thing cut
off Duluth News.

Feminine Dairy Wisdom.


Prepare now to winter the best and
make meat of the rest.
Flies are particularly exasperating to
cattle just now. Slightly cool nights
and warm days seem to give them re-
newed vigor.
Instead of turning the COWS out to
pasture when the grass is tough and
short, a greater profit may be realized
by keeping them in the stable at least
in the days, and soiling if proper green
food can be procured.
A short time each day with a scythe
in the fence corners, and about the
premises, will furnish grass and clover
in plenty.
You can feed at a greater profit while
the weather is warm. This is not hap
ence.
Do not let a single apple waste. Feed
a few to each COW. Sweet ones are
best. Sour ones will do, but do not
feed many at a time. Crush them
and put the grain ration with them.
DO NC SSHeIouS anu WISE Ill Cdl ing
for them 50 they can return you good
profit in after years.
Do not let your stock drink water
that you would not drink yourself.
Do not try to see how many cows
you can winter, but how many you can
keep up to full production. Success in
dairyng docs ont come from numbers
in the dairy.
1t has been demonstrated over and
over again, that five cows well-cared
for, will yield a much greater profit
than ten half-cared for.-Dorothy
Tucker, in the Farm Journal.

ZINC FOR ROOFING.

A seeming anomaly is found in the
fact that in the United States "tin-
plate" is the favorite roofing, the use
of sheet zinc for roofing being almost
unknown, and yet in England, the
home of the tinplate industry, and in
all parts of Europe, zinc is now the
most favored material. A roof of good
tin, properly laid and painted thor
oughly, at least once in every three
years, will last from twenty to thirty
years. The life of a slate roof may be
from thirty to fifty years, while the
life of zinc roof may be estimated
from the fact that the first zinc roof
ever put up, in 1911, exists today in
good condition.

President Jordan, Of Leland Stan
ford, and a member of the Boring sea
commission, says: Our herds ON the
islands OF ST. Paul and ST. George are
three times as large as those upon the
Russian seal islands. They number
about 10000 breeding females Or
about 10000 of all ages and both
sexes. This is about one-tifth of the
number we had on those islands ten
years ago. They will recruit their
number fast enough if they are left
alone upon the water and no females
are killed. The japanese herds have
been exterminated by European and
American killers"

The London (Eng) Road Improve
ment association has issued the follow
ing rules for keeping Macadam and
Telford pavement in repair:
l. Never allow a hollow, a rut or a
puddle to remain on road, but fill it
up at once with chips from the stone
heap.
2. Always use chips for patching
and for all repairs during the summer
season.
8. Never put fresh stones on the
road, if, by cross-picking and a thor
ough use of the rake, the surface can
be made smooth and kept at the proper
strength and section.
f. Remember that the rake is the
most useful tool in our collection, and
it should be kept close at hand the
whole year round.
5. Do not spread large patches of
stone over the whole width of the road.
but coat the middle or horse track first
and when this has worn in, coat each
of the sides in turn.
6. In moderately dry weather and
on hard roads always pick up the old
surface onto ridges six inches apart,
and remove all large and projecting
stones before applying new coating.
Z. Never spread stones more than
one stone deep, but add a second layer
when the first has worn in, if one coat
be not enough.
s. Never shoot stones on the road
and crack them where they lie, or a
smoth surface will be out of the ques-
ton.
9. Never put stone upon the road
for repairing purposes that will not
freely pass in every direction through
a two-inch ring and remember that
smaller stones should be used for patch
ing and for all slight repairs.
10. Recollect that hard stones should
be broken to finer gauge than soft, but
that the two-inch gauge is the largest
that should be used under any cir
cumstances where no steam roller is
used.
II. Never be without your ring
gauge; remember Macadam's advice,
that any stone you cannot easily put in
your mouth should be broken smaller.
II. Use chips, if possible, for binding
newly laid stones together, and remem-
Der that road sweepings, horse drop
pings sods or grass and other rubbish,
when used for this purpose, will ruin
the best road ever constructed.
1S. Remember that water-worn or
rounded stones should never be used
upon steep gradients, or they will fail
to bind together.
IA. Never allow dust or mud to lie
on the surface of the roads, for either
of these will double the cost of main
tenance.
Is. Recollect that dust becomes mud
at the first shower, and that mud forms
a wet blanket which will keep a road
in a filthy condition for weeks at a
time, instead of allowing it to dry in a
few hours
16. Remember that the middle of
the road should always be little high
er than the sides, so that the rain may
run into the side cutters at once.
IL. Never allow the water tables
cutters and bitches to clog, but keep
them clear the whole year through.

Poultry Points.

Save parings, cabbage leaves and po-
tato scraps for hens. They ought to
have gren food all winter.
Poultry men are not fully agreed on
the point, but l have found a warm
mash in the morning an excellent egg
maker. The New York Experiment
station has demonstrated that the keep
OF a flock of hens will be less with
moistened food than with dry and that
eggs will be more plenty. At any
rate, it pays to give variety TO the
diet
Have you provided a dust-bath for
the hens this winter? 1t will help you
greatly in keeping your flock free of
vermin.
In preparing the nests for winter put
them in as secluded a spot as possible.
A hen likes quiet before the egg is
laid.
Renew the nests occasionally. Cut
straw makes a good nest Take out
the old and burn it, before it becomes
flth-cOvered or vermin-infected.
One doesn't have to become a fancier
in order to have good fowls. A flock
Of thoroughbreds cost no more to hatch
and keep than do a lot of scrub hens,
and the income from them is double or
more.
1t is a mistake to sell off all the
adult fowls every fall, keeping only the
pullets, unless you intend to buy eggs
in the spring for Matching purposes. A
two-year-old hen gives better eggs for
Matching.
Don't neglect to provide plenty of
grit-the sharper the better-for the
hens. Broken china and earthenware
answer the purpose very we'll, as does
broken oyster she'll
1t will pay you to try steamed cut
clover for an occasional feed when the
days get cold and the ground is snow
covered
Kerosene the perches once a month
A little sunfiower seed will do moult-
ing fowls good. A light feed twice a
week is enough.
Burn a pound of sulphur now and
then in the poultry house.
Poultry in open sheds may be pro-
tected by wire netting without shutting
out fresh air.
1t is time to separate cockrels from
the rest of the flock when they become
an annoyance.
Small bells on two or three of the
old turkeys may save the flock from
foxes or thieves.
Birds that are fat and ready for mar
ket, should be sold now. This is Farm
Journal doctrine and it is orthodox.
All bare ground in the vicinity of
the poultry yard should be seeded to
rye, Crimson clover or Dwarf Essex
rape for fall, winter and spring pas
ture.
Feed at regular hours and at no
other time The flock will soon learn
when to expect their meals and will
forage contentedly the rest of the
time.
Ali small coops now no longer in
use should be w'hitewashed and stored
under shelter. Any accumulation of
droppings under and about them
should be scraped up and spread on the
sod
If neighbor wants to buy a cockrel
or two for breeding, you can afford to
sell cheap now rather than winter them
for him. Be sure to keep the best your
Sc. if you wish to maintain your flock
al high standard

JERRY 1T YELLING TON,

The meeting was presided over by
Mayor Rsvsge. When Jerry Simpson
was introduced there was anotlleI
storm OF applause. Jerry spoke for
an hour and made his points so clear
and distinct that every man in the
house could understand them. And
the audience was composed almost
entirely of voters, the rain having kept
the women and children at home.
Long floundered through his hour
and half and Jerry followed him in
frey, numerous reply that set the
whole audience to shouting and
laughing.
At the close the friends of both
candidates geathssed around them to
shake hands but Long got through
with his people and had gore to his
hotel before Jerry got fairly started.
The esteem in which Jerry is held by
the people is something wonderful.
Fully two-third of the crowd were
for silver
There is no mistaklng the effect of
this debate. 1t will certainly win
votes for the silver side of the contro-
versy. The contrast between truth
and error is made so plain that it is
visible to the most obtuse. The silver

FROM TEXAS.
Editor Graphic, Dear Sir;

CQftOI OIHpulC, DeeE SlI,
The political situation in Texas
is a little curious. Two years ago
the combined Republican and Populist
vote exceeded the Democratic vote
about 5000; and republican and pop
ulist state leaders began as long ago
as last April to arrange the detxils Of
a fusion for the coming campaign.
This was the secret of the hostility Of
the Texas men at St. Louis, to Bryan;
they wished to be lett free to carry
out the arrangements; which with the
adhesion of gold ex-democrars would
have given the republicans theelsctors,
Che Populists the state officers, and the
gold nen revenge. 1t soon became
evident, however. that the popuilss
masses were too favorably inclined to-
ward Bryan to make harmonious
deal of that sort. aud Tom Watson
has put the quietus on any open fusion
with the republicans. AS the matter
stands expect the Bryan and Sewall
electors to get about IS ,O0e more votes
than the Bryan and Watson electors.
But as the Republicans will very
largely vote the P0pulist state ticket
there is chance of its election. The
Republicans expect to cast about 1875,
900 votes for Mckinley. The total
vote will be about 500, 900.
Yours truly,
George M. Flick.

BEFORE AND AFTER:

Mr.. Mckinley, iii speach delivered
in Toledo Feb. 18th, 1891, said "Du-
ring all of Grover Cleveland's yeaIs
at the head of the government he was
dishonoring one of our precious met
ais, one Of our own great products,
discrediting silver and enhancing the
price of gold. He endeavored, even
before his Inauguration to Office, TO
stop the cOinge of silver dollars, and
afterwards and to the end his admin
stration persistently used his power
to that end. He was determined to
contract tie circulating medium and
demonetize one of the coins Of comm
cree, limit the volume of money
among the people, make money scarce
and therefore dear. He would have
increased the value of money and di.
minished the value Of every thug else,
money the master, everything else the
servant"
Now compare the above with the
