The Coming Farmer.

The farmer of the future is going to
be very much more of a book farmer
than our fathers We're, or even the
farmer of to-day. Farming in the true
sense is a science, from the virgin soil
to the harvesting of the crops grown
from the soil, the feeding Of them 10
domestic animals and the marketing
of them in the form of tinishc pro
ducts. 1t is therefore. necessary to Np-
ply scientific principles in all Of the
operations of plant growth feeding of
the plants grown, caring for the ami
mails to which these are fed, and last
but not least, putting the products OH
the market or into the hands of con-
sumers in forms most profitable. 10
do this calls for knowledge, and
knowledge is most easily obtained by
the average farmer from the reading of
suitable books, or other published mat
ter
1t is no longer absolutely necessary
though perhaps desirable. if one is am
bilious to be somewhat original. to en-
pertinent with different soils to ;ind
out their component parts, and how
best to treat them to realize the best
results, for men have already done this
and their experience is available to all
who would have it, as published in
books, lectures and experiment station
bulletins. The light of study, investi-
cation and certain knowledge is shed
on every branch of farming carried on
in this country of ours, making the
best and most approved methods so
plain that no one can reasonably
plead ignorance, if he will provide
himself with the books easily obtained
and so complete in their teachings up
on all subjects OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

the abundance of cheap labor there

saw shiploads Of Irish potatoes un-
loading from Nova Scotia and thou
sands of barrels of Spanish onions, all
of which brought big prices. In short
l found a better market for vegetables
than place to grow them. With the
thousands of open land and the idle
people who would gladly work for so
cents day, if all could be grown in
the land which they claim, [ think they
would be growing these potatoes, on

them in.

have their drawbacks. Trees here are

better keeping, than the lower, mois-
ter lands, but this requires irrigation
unless the rainfall should happen to
be unusually abundant. The onion re-

and dwarf them beyond belief. The
