FUTURE OF FARMING.
The ruEnboo OF Ovcrproduction E1-

thinking i'cssimistS.

An extensive agricultural area, cheap
lands and improved machinery have en-
abled Us to increase the agricultural
products of the country, until. in NieW
of low prices. filled cribs and grooming
granarirs. we have sometimes con
Guided that there was permanent
condition of ovcr-production. But pop
ulaton, rs well as production, is I'M
creasing. Careful computation of the
probable additions to our population
makes il certain that with our present
methods. and with al our land that
now seems available for tillagc. this
country cannot produce enough to feed
its people % or 80 years hence.
The statistican of the department
OF agriculture estimates that in 1891
the population of the United States
will he l30.G0O,0U0: ard it is Il cOuserNa-
tive estimate. 10 supply the require
meats of this number of people will
ncccssitate the production of 1O0.GO0,-
900 bushels of wheat. $50, 900 bush

and 1OO.G00.0O0 tons of hay. If we pro-
duce this immense quantity of food

cultivation l5O.OGO.0OO acres more land
than we now cultivate: and il is esti-
mated that we have only l0S.010,0G0
acres Of new land that is available for
farming purposes.
There is no doubt. however. that un-
der pressure OF necessity. millions Of
acres which are now deemed worthless.
or comparatively so. would be TILED,
with reasonable profit; and there is
no doubt that under such conditions
our farming would be much more in

SELL MATURED STOCK.
There's No Profit In Keeping Cattle
or Hogs After They Have Bccn
Fattened Fairly Wei.

There is no profit in keeping any kind
OF stock when they have been fattened
for the market; the retention of cattle
or hogs that have reached a point where
every ear of corn serves only to main
tain their present condition is unwise
and Improbable. When they are fat
sell them; YOU cannot afford 10 con-
tinue feeding them in anticipation OF
higher prices, regardless of the cheap
ness OF the feed If "a hog is fat and
ready for market at 200 pounds sell
him, as no apprecable gain can be
made after this period has been
reached. on the other hand there is
some danger of the animal going back.
or losing fat; so il is best to place the
stock on the market after the finish
ing touches have been put on. and yield
not TO the temptation. which is "A strong
one, TO hold on for better prices, which
may and may not be received.
If cattle and hogs have been judi
ciously fed and are of good breeding
they will nearly always bring re-
munerative price and pay handsomely
for the labor and expense involved in
their preparation for the market
Another thing-the local buyers who
visit you every week or two to get stuff
to send TO Chicago, st. Louis or Kansas
City and who of course make consid-
cradle profit thereby, should be sent to
''the other fellow" as any farmer can
ship his own stock, cattle. hogs and
sheep, just as cheaply as the local buyer
can. and thus secure the profit which
the latter usually receives. He may
not have Il load. but the buyer may
be confronted with the same difficulty:
then the thing to do is to see neigh
Dor or two who may have stock to ship
and thus make out the ear load. Ii
pays to save money wherever possible:
this is one Of the places where il is pos
sible. The reason many farmers do not
act in this regard as advised is that the
| little trouble of getting car. load
! ing the stock and caring for il during
shipment frightens them and they are
content to sell 10 the local buyer at
less money than undergo the trouble
ard receive higher prices. Farmers
