The Indenendent Farmer.

Some of the Western farmers who
make a speciality OF one crop, whether
it is grain, beef, cattle or hogs, or ex-
tensive orchards. are inclined to sheer
at the small farms and garden patches
of the Eastern States, and often the
Eastern farmer enyies the man who
can sell thousands of dollars worth at
one time, but it is the small farmer
with a few acres and diversified farm
ing who is really the Independent
farmer. He grows vegetables and
fruits for his own use, has milk and
butter in plenty, fattens his beef and
pork, and perhaps mutton, and album
dance of poultry and eggs, and if every
railroad in the country is blockaded he
is in no danger of staryation.-Am

Value of Good Pasture.

An English writer tells that in an
experiment made there one acre of
rich pasture made gain of 500 pounds
of beef on steers fed there for six
months. On cattle of same age and
nearly same size, stall fed, it took $500
pounds of clover hay, 1,600 pounds
corn and oil Eeal and 10000 pounds of
Swede turnips to make the same gain.
The pasture was called good enough
to have cut about 49, tons of hay if it
had been mown, but even then the pas
ture feed was cheap. Very few here
would pasture a field as rich as that,
and we are not sure it would be econ
omy here, but we are very sure that it
would be profitable to try to make
some of the pastures grow more grass
than they did.-Exchange.

Drained Soil

Even as spring water seems warm
in the winter and delightfully."- cool in
summer, although it is at practically
the same temperature the season
through, so. also, land that is well
drained will be warm enough for the
termination of the seed earlier in the
spring than undrained soil, and in the
hot days of summer it will not get as
undrained land would, so hot as to
parch and dry up the roots of tender
plants. The spring water is hot or
cold by comparison with the atmos-
phere, but the ground is made warm
and dry in the spring by its porous con-
dition, which allows cold water to
drain away and the warmer air to pen
citrate into it, and that same porous
ness in summer enables cool water to
be drawn up from below when hot
winds blow overit These are among
the advantages of well-drained soil.
