TAME TENDER TURKEYS.

Two or three broods Of turkeys are
raised each season in a piece of tim
Der belonging to a friend of ours. The
mother birds belong to a ne!ghbor a
half mile away and the turkeys, some
forty or fifty, are raised on the prod
ucts Of our friends farm. In response
to his request that the birds be re-
moved and taken care Of, the answer
has always been, I'VE cannot find
them" but when fall comes there
seems to be no difficulty in getting
them rounded up and sold. This sea
son our friend is going to find the birds
with a shotgun just as soon as they
are good eating. and we have a stand-
Ing invitation to eat turkey with him
every week right along till Thanks
giving, provided-but they viii find
those birds after our friend has had
one or two turkey dinners, or we miss
our guess.

Returns are what we are all looking
for and working for-the man in bust
ness, the man on the farm, in the mill,
office or mine-and so we invest our
labor or our money according to the
sense or wisdom which is given to us
and await the returns. One man spec
ulates, another follows a hobby, an
other digs and labOrs without intelll-
gence, another follows in the steps OF
his grandfather, many SOW poor seed
on lily prepared soil, and the few only
reap an abundant harvest. One man
tries dairylng with scrub cows given
scrub care and gets scrub returns; an
other can't or won't see that forty acres
and not 200 is the size of the farm he
should work. and his returns are a poor
living after the rent, hired help and
store bills are paid; another treats his
boys as though be had bought them at
so much per head for the work he could
get out Of them. and his returns are
the privilege of ending his days IN
loved and uncared for; another, loved
by his family and respected by all who
know him, lives mot wholly for him
self, and his returns, perhaps not to
be measured by money, are n perpetual
and splendid income for him SO long as
he lives. The sort CT returns you. may
look for depends wholly upon the ma

WHAT FIFTEEN ACRES OF CORN
L

Here is his story, and he passed for
a truthful man and good citizen, be-
sides being pillar in his church. Said
he: Last winter l wintered from the
list Of December up to the 1st of April
-four months-115 head Of stock. made
up of cows, young cattle, horses and
colts, upon the corn fodder produced
upon fifteen acres Of corn which yield
ed seventy-five bushels per acre, this
fodder being all the roughage this lot
of stock had" This statement hardly
needs any comment, for it tells its own
story. 1t is well worth thinking over
by all men who raise corn and leave
the stalks to waste in the field.

GRAD ROOTS ron APPLE TREES.

GRAD ROOTS FOR APPLE TREES.
The root killing of apple trees in Min
nesota, northern Iowa, Wisconsin and
the Dakotas is the cause of serious loss
to every man who attempts to grow
this fruit. 1t is well known that only
the most hardy types of the apple will
endure the climatic conditions Of the
territory named, and yet nearly all
trees planted are more than likely to
be grated upon tender roots for the
reason that the apple seed from which
the root is developed is the product of
tender varieties of apples grown down
cast-apples which all know it would
be folly to attempt to grow in the west.
OF course a certain percentage of these
grated trees take root from the ciop
and become what is known as trees on
their own roots, but many do not. and
so we have the horticultural malforma-
ton Of a hardy type of apple trying to
grow on a root system utterly untitled
for the work. This fact leads US to
call attention to the evident wisdom of
using the hardy and ironclad crabs as
grating stock to furnish the future
tree root system which will endure
the worst climatic conditions. The at
tentiOn of apple growers all over the
northwest is being directed to this mat
ter.
TIE ONE YEAR RENTER.
The bane of tenant farming. both SO
far as the landowner and the tenant
are concerned, is the one year renter,
the fellow who skips from place to
place and from farm to farm, sklnning
the life out of the soil and leaving a
legacy of weeds, broken fences and ma
nure piles for his illustrious successor.
A farm. to be properly worked, must
have many things done upon 1t the
benefits of which will not be available
until succeeding years. The one year
renter knows this as well as any one
and will not do these things. While
this form Of tenancy might be admissi-
| bic when a country was new and land
very cheap, 1t is simple ruination to
| practice 1t In old settled communities
where land is worth $50 to SO per
acre. AS a general proposition IL land
must be rented the lease should be
made for a term of not less than three
years, and five or ten would be better
Then the owner should make certain
requirements In the lease as to the
keeping of stock, the rotation of crops
and the general good management OF
the farm. The share rent plan is every
way the best for both landlord and ten
ant wherever 1t is practicable, for Their
the tenant has a stimulus to take better
care of the farm. These one year renter
farms can be identified at a glance
poor crops, forests of weeds, tumble
down fences and buildings, unpaintei

The above figures must be great

larged to meet the facts for 1860 and
1901. so far, at least, as the western
states are concerned. The report further
shows that the cost Of the board Of the
western farm hand is about 81 per
month and of the southern or negro
hand $3.50 per month. 1t would seem
as if 81 per month was a low price for
board where the hired man took three
spoonfuls of sugar in his coffee and
had pie twice q day.
