Among the farm improvements which
it will cost but little to make, and which
should be made the coming spring, if not
already done, is the laying out and plant
ing of from one half acre to one acre Of
land for family orchard and small fruit
garden. Hundreds and thousands of
well to do and enterprising farmers buy
year after year every bit Of fruit which
they use, and as result none of them use
one fourth as much as they would if they
raised it themselves. Small fruits are
rs easily raised as corn and potatoe any
where in Iowa, and are net raised bee ause
men say that either they don have the
time to attend to them, or don't know
how to do it. Now see here this spring
take strip of lssad at least - rods long
and as wide as you care TO have it. Fer
tilizc and pulverize this strip as you
get it too rich, or too mellow. Take half
day off and drive over to some local
nurseryman. Get enough black raspbtr
ries, red raspberries, grapes currants (red
and white) and gooseberries to set one
row of each eight feet apart the length
IF your plat of ground. Get enough
strawberry plants to set six rows. Plant
the next day and cultivate thoroughly
al summer with your corn cultivator,
using the hand hoe on the strawberry
bed. In the fall cover the strawberry
bed with marsh hay, lay the raspberry
vines and the grapes down and cover
with earth. Next season you will not be
buying fruit but will have it to sell and
your wife will be Dragging that she has
100 cans of fine fruit in the cellar. The
second year we would mulch all the cane
fruits heavily. This is not hard to
understand or difficult to do, and il fol
lowed out will pay for the paper in which
YOU read this for agood many years. We
have done it Just this way, have more
nice fruit than we can use all summer
and have the cellar fun Of the hest can

Wise Men Disagree.

The law is good deal of mystery to
the uninitiated and never more so than
when such greenies read that 81 per
cent. of the cases ruled on b the distrc
courts OF this state are reversed by the
supreme court. We have either lot OF
sticks for district judges and immacu-
late wisdom on the supreme bench, or,
what is just as likely, the supreme
court needs fortifying with few of our
bright district judges. Anyhow we have
apremium put on the appeal of all cases,
with all the attendant expense and
never ending delay in adjudicating The
civil and criminal affairs of the people.
Tnis work puts us in mind of man we
once knew who rugged up team made
up of an old bull and lame horse to
put in his crops with. The bull would
hook the horse and the horse would
kick at the bull and between them the
old granger had the dickens of time
of it.

The Days Work on the Farm.

A very interesting debate was had at
the late Kossuth county institute on tae
question Of how many hours day it
paid to work ON the farm. 1t was pretty
conclusively shown that the common
hours for farm labor, which during the
working season begin at $50 a. m., and
close at anywhere from 100 to 800 p. m.
are not conductive to the best results.
1t was held, and we think rightly so, that
man can only do about so much work
anyway, that what work he is able
to do, he will do inside of ten or
eleven hour day just as effectively as to
spread it out over fourteen or fifteen
hours. 1t was claimed that with the
improved machinery of the day and with
a proper planning of the work, more
good work could be obtained from both
teams and hired men on the ten hour
system. 1t was held that it was the
days work which never ended which
made it hard to keep good help both ON
the farm and in the farm home. One of
the most successful farmers of that
county said that even in the busiest
times in summer, excluding extraociin-
AIRY emergencies, the COWS were all MIXED
"a of them and both himself and the
hired men were absolutely through with
all farm work by $50 p. IN. every even
ing, and he said that he got more and
better work done this way than in the
Did way. OF course this man worked
while he was at it, and so did his teams
and men. Some men think that the
more acres they can work the more
money they can make, and some that
the more hours they put in the more
work they can accomplish. 1t is prob
able that both are mistaken.

The Curing Of Meat.

At the Algona Institute the following
question was propounded to Prof. Curtis
of Ames, an acknowledged authority on
the matter, "Does the process of hold
ing meat at low temperature for the
purpose of ripening, as it is practiced by
the dressed meat houses, in any manner
impair the quality ofsuch meat for food?"
To this question Prof. Curtis replied,
that it did not-that such treatment of
the meat, particularly beef, very greatly
improved its quality and of itself gave
the packing houses the principal leverage
they possess over the home butcher, that
the people prefer such meat, as is tender
and palatable.

OF Little Value to Farmers.

The farmers of the country will receive
a lesser benefit from the acquisition of
these new territories than any other
class of our people. In the first place
the lands are fully occupied, affording
no new homes for our surplus population;
then the products of those countries
largely come into competition with home
grown products, noticeably fruits,
sugar, rice, tobacco; while the natives
will take little of our -four and meats,
they will never become a white-br or
meat eating people. The fact is that the
farmers as class would be better off if
the country was shut Of this whole lot

corn does best, other years late planted;
and SO with all crops. OF late years the
question of moisture and rainfall has
been a most important one as affecting
all farm operations and how to conserve

There is no infallible rule to be followed
in the matter Of producing crop, and a
man needs to be well posted as to the

The Unrecognized Benefits.

The good living obtained upon the
farm is very often lost sight of in esti-
mating the profits connected with farm
ing as business. Not until farmer
moves into some town, and is for the
first time compelled to buy every last
thing which he uses in the matter of his
living, does he fully realize how many
things he had heretofore been getting
from his farm and making little, if any
account of them. One such farmer
whom we know, at the end of a month
was almost scared out of his wits by the
milkman's bill for supplying him with
only two quarts of milk day, and pretty
poor milk at that.

The Separator Calf.

The farm separator is especially com
mending itself to all dairymen who wish
to raise good calves. There is a certain
quality about the separator milk fed
warm from the COW, which seems to in
sure perfect health and thriftiness to the
calf, when reinforced with corn or oat
meal to make good the loss of the butter
fat. We do not know of single man
who has made failure in raising the
best of calves by this method. 1t is
claimed that calves SO raised do better
when the milk ration is discontinued
than calves which have sucked the COW.

Cheese VS.. Butter.

We notice that quite number of co
operative creameries propose to try their
hand at cheese. making this summer
They are going to make a big mistake if
they do. We give the following reasons
why it is risky undertaking: The
home market for cheese is at hes. vc~y
limited. The kind of cheese required
for the home market is one utterly un-
Salable for the eastern and export trade.
1t is soft cheese that soon spoils, and
if made, must have constant and re
liable home market to absorb the pro

manufacture profitable. Good cheese
makers are very, very scarce Twenty
men know how to make good butter
where one man knows how 10 make Il
good cheese Again, the cheese takes
the whole milk, and robs the farm of the
skim milk. True, there is the whey, but
all that's good for is to make runty, pot
bellied calves and cholera hogs. Poor,
or spoiled butter always has some value
as grease. Poor, or spoiled cheese is alb
solutely worthless. Now, If a cheese
factory can be started with an assured
home demand for its product, or, if such
factory ignoring the home demand en-
tirely, will make a firm and well-cured
export cheese on the New York or Ca
madam plan, such factory may be made
a success, but having tried IL we say
knowingly, that the extra profit to be de
rived in either ease is not at all com
mensurate with the greater risk taken.
