1t is difficult to present the idea of
the bigness of these farms to the per
son whose preconceived notion Of a
farm is a little checker board lying
upon hillside or in a valley. Seven
thousand acres present the average
bonanza farm. Generally these tracts
are not divided. Yet distances across
fields are go great that horseback COM
munication is impracticable. Crews
of workmen living at one end of the
farm and operating it may not see the
crews in other corners from seasons
end to seasons end. And in busy
seasons it is found profitable to feed
the hands in the fields rather than to
allow them to trudge through the hot
sun to the dining halls for dinner. The
dining halls-it will be explained later
are scattered over the farm at con-
venient points. They are frequently
Eve or six miles apart, and many a
noon finds the harvesting crew two
miles from it's hall. This illustration
may give one some sort of a rough con
ception of the bighess of these farms,
Here is another point of view: Aver
aging twenty bushels to the acre-as
many farms will this year-the total
number of bushels in a crop on bo-
nanza farm would be LAC, 600; putting
five hundred bushels of that crop in a
freight car, and allowing forty feet to
the car, the train which would haul
the crop from the farm would be two
miles long, and if it were to come
charging down Fifth Avenue and
Aroad way, in New York, the ''rear
end" brakeman would be craning bis
neck from the caboose to catch sight
of the Vanderbilt mansion while the
engineer and fireman were enjoying
themselves humping the cable Ger
down by Union Square.-Wm. All3n
White, in the November Scribner's.

A farmer says: For ten years b We
made it a practice to give every on9 of
my growing animals at least one heap
ing tablespoonful of -four sulphur in
the feed twicea week, including horses,
cattle, sheep and swine, and during
that time / have not had diseased or
sick animal. When fattening cattle,
sheep or swine, howev5r, I increase
this to three times q week. A little of
it occasionally is also good for poultry.
When feeding sulphur shelter should
be provided for all the stock. They
should not be permitted to get wet.

usR BUSINESS METHODS.

One great drawback to sEccessful
farming is the lack of business methods.
If man will study the charaeterics of
his soil and climate and grow such
crops as are best adapted to prevail
ing conditions; if he will be methodical
and give as much attention to details
as is necessary in almost any other
line of business. he will succeed, if the
elements of success are within him.
There is much in the man and in the
way he goes at a thing The Epitomist.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1897-11-02

IL you will take one cat by himself
and pinch his tail he will scratch and
bite your hand. But take two cats and
put them side by side and pinch both
their tails at the same time and they
will bite and scratch each other.
Piutocracy has learned this trick. So
it gets the people Rrrayed In the two
old parties and then it pinches their
tails and they fight each other. Like
the cats they. S7ever turn to fight the
hand that is pinching them kaufman

easing. But the temper of the local oper-
ators continued bul.ish, and the business
was confined chiefly to them. When, there
fore, the weather map reports extreme
high temperature in the south they bought
the market up several points. When at
its best a prominent house threw large
block of cotton upon the market and the
advance was lost. January opened at 7.15c,
declined to 7l3c, advanced to 717c, again
gave way, and closed at 713 to 7.14c, with
the tone of the market steady. Reports
from the Atlanta and Gulf states continue
satisfactory, but those from the west and
southwest are by no means favorable"

No civilized country can confine its
citizens within its own territory or
prohibit all commercial intercourse with
other countries. Every country, there
fore, needs money which can be used in
purchase from and in payment Of its
debts to other countries. Yet, howsoev-
er great a country may be, and however
absolute may be the power of its gov
eminent, it's laws can have no extrater-
ritorial effect. No government, there
fore, can prescribe the standard by
which it's currency shall be valued in
any other country, Or compel the citi-
zens of another country to receive its
currency save at the bullion value Of
that currency in the markets of the
world.

Silver Versus Milk.

Up in Iowa they have given up silver
and have a softer snap. They make SAL
500, 900 in Iowa from their COWS alone,
That beats free silver, doesn't it-beats
it all hollow? They make Sal, 500, 900
selling milk, butter, cheese and calves.
and al the end of the year they have
the same old Bossy and Speck and Spot
and Brindle and Bess that they had
the year before. The Kansas GOV is
sticking her head over the pasture fence,
lowing and mooing, with her bag swell
ing with Sal, 900, 900 worth of milk,
while the old man ie down town tear
ing his shirt because the p~lutocrats
won't coin $50, 900, 900 worth of silver.
