ABANDONED FARMS.
They Are n Sad Commentary on the
Ignorance or CareIessness of
Their Owners.

Every once in awhile we notice re-
on so-called abandoned farms. Often
the returns from the land are quite
phenomenal. The explanation is that
some man with both brains and money
has taken hold and put into practice
business methods. Had these been
put into operation from the first there
would have been no abandoned farms
Men that have Investigated the condi-
tions in localities where such lands
have been thrown out of cultivation
have found that the lands had become
run down through constant cropping
without putting back the manure
necessary to keep up the fertility.
What is true of the east is equally
true of the west, and unless the meth
DDS on some of our farms change the
time is coming when the farms will
cease to give living. There are two
unfortunate classes of men that try to
run farms; those that have money and
no brains for agricultural enterprises,
and those that have brains and no
money. The latter class is, however,
OF the two the more likely to succeed.
In these days of agricultural colleges.
experiment stations and abundant op-
Portunities there is no reason why the
man that has money cannot obtain
the necessary brain development to
help make success of farming

TALK ABOUT GRATING.
II Requires Less skill Than Much of
the Common Work Usually Done
ON the Farm.

There seems to be tendency among
the so-called professional grafters to
convey the impression that grating is
an art requiring large amount of skill
and practice. While to become an ex-
pert may require much practice. and a
fair amount of mechanical ability, to
become good CRATER requires less
practice than much of the common
work done on the farm. such as digging
potatoes, etc. These are many reasons
why farmers and fruit growers should
learn to do their own grating, and es.
pecially the young people. A profes-
sional CRATER often cuts his scions in
large quantities, and | have known
them to cut many hundreds from trees
whose variety | was sure they did not
know, often relying on their own over
estimated ability to judge of the vari'
ETY. by the looks of the tree. If the
to take more interest in the future care
and if the tree is large the entire tor
should not be changed at once.
Grating is one of the things that
should be taught in our rural schools,
and If properly done the children al
ways take a lively interest 1t also
makes an interesting subject for insti-
tute work. and | always like to take a
small tree and do the different methods
OF grating. especially whip and side
grating. showing just how to hold the
knife and scion and how to use the 9TH
er tools. which cannot be shown on pa
per. Whip-grafting can often be used
on large trees by inserting in small
limb that starts out of the large one
near where it should he grated. and
not cutting the large one until the scion
has made a start. a beginner will often
make as large per cent. live as a
person with more experience, as he is
apt to be more careful in setting the
scion and do the waxing more thor
oughly, although it may look more
bungling. If the scions have been
carefully saved and the work proper
ly done 95 per cent. of plums, pears and
apples should live. While one cent per
scion at time of setting and two cents
to insure is the old price, the work can
be done much cheaper on all but very
large trees, and on these it is better to
do the work by the hour. These re-
marks refer to grating with scion. as
budding requires more skill. and. in my
opinion, should generally be left to the
nurseryman, as very few farmers make
success of raising their own trees

CONVICT ROAD BUILDERS.
Enrpioycd with Considerable Success
by California nnd Several Other
0nimonwealths.

The legislature and people of Cali
fCGuia have not been idle in the work
for good roads nor blind to the needs
OF he state in this respect. Up few
wears ago some of the convicts had
been supported in comparative idleness
at the expense of the state, while 9th
ers had been utilized in direct compe-
tition with free labor. In 1895 the leg
isature decided at the suggestion of
Gen Roy Stone to utilize convict labor
in preparing road materials. \ bill
was passed providing for a highway
commission and for the construction
of a rock-crushing plant on one of the
state prison grounds. Since that time
the convicts have been turning upward

Q eiyen to the counties as the states con-
tribution toward the Improvement OF
the Leading thoroughfares.
North Carolina, Delaware, Iowa. New
York. Tennessee and other states also
have avs providing for the use of con-
vict labor in improving highways.
North Carolina has made great prog
ress and has built more miles of roads
under this system than any other state.
Thus one might. if space permitted, GO
through the whole list of states and
find evidences of great progress in
road improvement. Gov. Mount, of In
diana, for instance, says that his COM
monwealth is provided with $4,000
miles of graded, graveled and piked
highways, over 5000 miles of which are
comparable with the best roads of
France. The public is now more thor
oughly aroused to the Importance of
the movement for better roads than
ever before. and more roads and better
roads have been built in the United
States in 1899 than in any previous year
in its history.
The agitation which has become So
universal will surely result in a well de-
fined pubic sentiment that will soon
overcome all obstacles. With the new
century the good roads movement is
likely to receive valuable aid from the
owners of horseless vehicles already
not uncommon on our thoroughfares
The aid of these new allies added to
that of the farmer with his pecuniary
interest in the question, to say nothing
of the army of wheelmen already enlist
ed in the cause, promises well for rap
i'd spread of the movement throughout
the country.-Cincinnati Commercial

ElrlY and Late WarL

A hired man who has been working
out" for several years on Illinios farms
at SIG and $40 per month writes COM
plainingly of the long hours which he
is compelled to spend in the field in
order to "get in the required time"
He says that he has been going to
work so early and staying in the field
so late that he never has seen his en-
ployer's house in daylight and that on
one occasion he met himself going back
into the field. Which is just little
extravagant, but not far from the
truth. The farmland may some day
register kick that will be felt.-Farm-
