Inieasive Farming.
] undc E1tand intensive farming to
be, to 20 deep down into the soil. with
one or two horse turning plows aud
su bsoil it; TO thoroughly pulveriEe the
land to good depth; to concentrate
fertilizcrs, chemical, commercial and
stable manure, and BY vegetable
growth on the soil. understand ins
tcnsivc farming to be also the quick
nnd rapid culture Of . crop during
tho growing season, and make four
bales of cotton ON the area that now
produces only one bale, or four BUSH
els of corn where only one bushel
was raised before. Or increasing
tho yield Of any product on
u given area fourfold. The
logical result Of intensive farming is
u large increase in the value Of the
land aud the realization of u profit
that makes farming remunerativc. A
an illustration of the practical work.
ings Of the intensive system we will
devote one acre to cotton and apply
broadcast 900 pounds of acid phos-
phate and cotton seed meal the frat
year at cost Of 100. Any land At TO
be cultivated with this application
would yield from $50 to 400 pounds of
lint cotton per acre tho 6rst year, IN
increase Of. 225 pounds. At seven
cents per pound this would give el5. -
increase in value, and after deducting
expenses . net profit Of S7.25 the first
year. The second year this acre put
In corn and pens, with the applica-
tion Of thirty bushels Of cot.
ton seed, would yield Is to 30 bushels
Of corn. and fodder and peas sufficient
TO cover all expenses and realize . net
profit of $500. The third year the
same acre put in cotton. with the sp-
plication of 1900 pounds Of fertilizer
broadcast will produce two 45O pound
bales Of cotton. Estimating the cot
ton at seven cents per pound. and the
cost OF productien ut $40, the net profit
will be S33
This system may look expensive, but
it pays in the end. 1t will be seen that
according to this system that IS acres
each in corn aud cotton will produce
rs much as 45 acres Of poor land half
worked. We can improve tho land by
growing leguminuous plants, dividing
the land into three sections SO that
we will have peas every year.-R w.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 17.--There were few
new features this morning, which caused a
very weak feeling in wheat to prevail at the
opening. The trade, as a whole, was sur
prised at the pronounced weakness at Liver
pool and the large shipments from Russia 1t
was equally surprised later to find that cur,
visible supply showed a decrease of over q
000, 600 bu, while 1000 600 or 1850 600 bu was
expected. The opening price for July wheat
was full cent under Saturdays close, and In
the course of the mornings trading touched
a point 5sc lower The visible supply state
ment. together with higher cables later, caused
a reaction TO a slightly higher level, and by
neon the market was strong at 1ac over fhe
low price Of the morning. The character Of the
trading was not OF a reassuring order; the
buying was mostly against puts and the
balance purely of scalping nature, owing
to lack of outside trade. There Is this to
say, that the more conservative element of
the trade expected q reaction from the ad-
vance recently made, not that they believed
in lower level, but that it is natural for
those having good profits to endeavor to secure
them. The undertone Of the market for the
present is strong.
The usual quota OF Monday statistics came
to hand quite early this morning, and on the
whole was disappointment to the bulls. Crop
reports we're in the main more favorable, per
feet weather being reported from all points
in this country. In the middle states no i'm
proveInent can be expected but the Southwest
and the Pacific states show Improvement.
Spring wheat conditions appear to be perfect
Snow, of the Orange-Judd Farmer, estimates
that the winter wheat acreage Is 1000, 900
acres less than last year. The government last
December gave the area az x, 1885, coo acres.
According to Snow, the acreage will be q
200, coo acres less, and the spring wheat area
is largely increased.
