STOCK RAISING FOR YOUNG
FARMERS.

Young men who are just starting in
the business Of farming should make up
their minds as TO what kind OF stock they
will handle, and should secure the best
of the kind that can be obtained, for by
80 doing they are laying the foundation
for q fortune later on. There is no
money to be made 10 raising scrub stock,
saws correspondent Of the Prairie
Farmer. Suppose one man feeds bunch
of common steers and another bunch
of high grades. Ii viii take the same
amount Of feed and perhaps more for
the scrub lot to prepare the animals for
market; then when they are sold the
market will be from so cents to 81 high
er In favor Of the high grade cattle, and
the owner of the scrub lot has lost just
that much, for the labor and expense Of
raising the two lots have been the same.
Nor is that all. The man who Is salts
fed to handle poor stock never has any
thing that will induce buyer 70 offer .
fancy price for, from the fact that his
cattle never attract any attention. The
cattle would advise the young farmer
to handle would be the Sh0rthorns.
They are not only beef cattle, but they
are fair mixers and average butter
makers. Their fine form and beauty are
attractive to the eyes Of buyers. But
they must be well taken care Of. They
must be provided with good shelter and
not allowed to run out In the stalkfields
all winter. They must be fed well, 20
as to keep them In good condition.

struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him. and he
forthwith returned 10 the trader and

DEEP OR SHALLOW CULTURE
WHICH

Seeing so many inquiries OF late In the
agricultural papers as TO which is best,
deep or shallow cultivation for corn,
will try and throw little light on the
subject.
shall give your readers my own ex-
perience Of seventeen years shallow cul-
tivation.
To begin with. In 1879 and 1850 (the
former being quite wet season and the
latter rather dry three farmers In q
radius OF two and one-hslf miles from
me were each experimenting with sur
face cultivstor, and as 4 man Is never
too old TO learn, watched the result.
One of these farmers lived cn my road
10 town, and every time drove by his
place used to say: THAT man had just
as we'll take q Cat by the tall and drag IL
through between the rows as to slip that
cultivator through there" This man
had sixty-five acres Of corn, all In the
same field, fifty-fve acres Of which were
checked and cultivated by the old or
were drilled and cultivated by the sur
face method.
By June 10 the stalks Of the surface
cultivated corn were at least ten inches
taller than the other field. In September
walked into both fields, and was sur
prised To find the surfsce-cultivsted corn
by far the best. Being convinced that
shallow cultivation WAS better than deep,
| concluded to try IL myself the follow
ing year.
The winter Of 1851 | ordered one Of

izer cost me each s2S, and the drill s55,

this in detail to show whether or not

When l began cuitivsting my corn the
following Msy, my neighbor, q German,
said: "You want to follow the Yankee
fashion, do you?" Well, | had thirty
five acres Of corn and this neighbor Of
mine seventy acres, which he cultivated
by the deep process. After picking In
the fall, be said had more corn In the
crib from thirty-five acres than he from
seventy.
From my boyhood until some thirty
years ago we could raise good crop Of
corn even by deep cultivation.
Why! You must bear In mind the
virgin soil in those days was 80 produc-
tive, no matter how one cultivated, he
could always rely on good crop; but
the fertility of our soil Is being exhaust
ed more each year, and the climatic
changes seem to make 1t necessary that
we must adopt different mode OF culti-
waiting, which IL shallow. Locality has
nothing to do with shallow cultivation,

BREEDERS DOING THEIR BEST TO suPPLf
TIE DEMAND FOR SUPERIOR ANIMALS.
Advices from many of the breeding
districts prove that tbs breeders Of trot-
tiers snd PAGERS are contemplating the
mating OF all available mares this spring,
saws the Breeders Gazette. The owners
of mares that might reasonably be
expected 70 produce speed never diseon-
tinued breeding them 20 the extent reach

supply of trotters and PAGERS has not
grown with the lapse OF time so small as
the supply Of the commoner kinds OF
horses. Despite this, the demand for
trotters aud PAGERS Of anything like high
class has been extremely brisk this year,
and the prospects are that without any
thing TO cause 8 great setback the ad-
vance in value will proceed.
The department Of agriculture gives
IA the pleasing information that the av-
ersge value Of horses has again risen
during 1899. In 1897 we reached bed
rock in prices, as in that year the aver
aye value OF horses was only SSl oil. 10

Extreme speed Is what brings money

OUR Apple PRODUCT.

At the present writing the apple crop
OF Maine Il an uncertain factor. Or
shsrds that have been well cared for are
likely to bear heavily, and to the owners
OF such We extend our hearty congratu-
lstions. On the other hand, trees that
have been neglected are reported to be
10 bad shape. This only emphasizes the
fact that we have before stated regard
ing the importance Of spraying and cul-
tivation. While many orchards will bear
little or no fruit, those that have been
well cared for will yield an abundant
return to their owners. The day is past
when we can neglect our fruit trees with
impunity. Better cut the trees down
and use the land for more useful pur-
poses that to allow them to battle alone
with the army Of enemies they now have.
Still, there are so many good orchards
In Maine that we are inclined TO think
the crop will, on the whole, be satisfac-
tory. But there Is another side to this
bountiful gift OF nature that must not
be forgotten or overlooked. Too often
10 the past our experience has been that
when there was good crop the prices
haze run too low for profit. Especially
Il this true when Canada, Michigan, New
York and Missouri have been equally
blessed. The weather Of the past winter
in no section Of the country was suffl-
ciently severe to destroy dormant buds,
and therefore the crop is likely to be at
least an average one on the whole. This
would have tendency to keep prices
down 20 figure that might not be pleas
ing 10 our orchardists were II not for the
fact that within brief space Of time all
Europe has learned TO look TO US for Its
supply Of apples. The export trade has
grown by bounds and jumps until IL has
aow assumed colossal proportions. Large
as this trade now Is. Ii Is steadily In
creasing. The simple fact that we can
raise far finer fruit than can be grown In
those countries. The soil Of England,
France and Germany is not adapted for
fine favored apples; while in Italy they
can scarcely be grown at all. For these
reasons our export trade will continue
to increase. No matter how large our
crop may be, the fruit will no longer be
permitted to rot on the ground. Rapid
transit now brings the markets Of the
whole world 10 our doors. That market
Is an overwhelming and expanding one.
We have all the elements OF success
along these lines. We cannot compete
with the West Ia raising wheat, or even
cattle; but In the cultivation OF fruit we
are and can be vastly superior. A rocky |
soil seems TO be especially adapted TO
this purpose, and Nature has here done
her part. Ii requires both skill and hard
labor 10 attend TO the wants Of q grow

always the time when insect pests are |
the most numerous and weeds the hard |

and the unjust alike, but the man who Is
the best equipped Is the one who always |
westhers the storm. The farmer who |
makes the greatest success OF his calling |
in the future Is the one who will have
the largest and best cared for orchard.
