Farm CntfI..

1t is not true that the cattle business
to be profitable must be conducted on
the broad ranges of the western plains,
says Texas Farm and Ranch. That is
one profitable system of cattle raising,
but there is another which yields fully
as great profits for the capital invested.
Raising cattle on the farm has in all
countries and all ages been found prof
liable, and more so now than ever. By
raising cattle on the farm the farmer
has a good market for all the feed he
can raise. saves labor and expense of
transportation and avoids much loss
from waste and the hocus pocus of
commerce. And one of the main fea-
lures of stock farming is that it can be
made to continually improve the fertil-
ity and value of the farm.

Growth of our Farm Products,

Nothing could more surely and clear
ly indicate that the prevailing prosper
ity of the country is founded on A
sound basis than the figures showing
the large increase in the value Of
American farm products in recent
years. According to a statement just
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture, the farmers of the United States
received S185, 296,172 more for their
products in 1900 than they did in 1899.
The greatest advances were observed
in corn and hay, the advance in the
price of the latter giving the farmers
over $33,O0O,0OO more in 1900 for a
crop of 100000 tons than was receiv-
ed in 1899 for crop of $500, 1856 tons.

Races with a Locomotive.

A sensation that has seldom been par
alleled in that city was caused by Fred
Madison, a well-known resident of Keno
sha, chasing down the tracks of the
Northwestern Railway dressed only in
his Undertaking and but a few feet
ahead of flying locomotive. The man
had become temporarily deranged by long
illness due to a nervous disorder, and
imagining that he was pursued by unseen
foes, had risen from his bed and attempt
ed to escape from them. That Madison
was not killed by the locomotive that Iol-
lowed so closely on his flight is due to
the nerve of the engineer, who, seeing the
man ahead of him on the tracks, reversed
the lever and brought his engine to stop
just as Madison, completely exhausted,
fell in Il faint between the rails.

Larce Hay Crop and Han Stack.

A farmer near Corvallis, Ore, is re-
ported in the OregOnian as having 26l5
acres of what is called beaver dam"
land, a part of which has been in tim
othy for over seven years, last year be-
ing the seventh year of cutting, and
one of the best they ever had. The
Weld was over four tons to the acre.
and they put over one hundred tons in
one stack, which they sold to a Govern
ment contractor at 50 per ton, or near
ly $1,000 for the stack. We doubt if so
much was put in one stack anywhere
else in the United States. Near the
edge of the meadow stood two large fir
trees, and a wire was stretched be-
tween them fifty feet from the ground,
then by ropes, pulleys and hay fork
the hay was carried to the top of the
stack. 1t is not often that timothy
will endure so many years in one field,
but on strong land, not pastured or cut
too closely we can believe that it might
have done so.-EXchange.

Scahby Potatoes,

Some one expresses an opinion that
the scab on potatoes is worse where
the ground is packed solid or is allow
ed to crust over If this is true it
is true it should be less abundant where
a strawy manure is used than where
commercial fertilizers are used, which
is not often the case. 4 soil made loose
and porous by having green rye or a
heavy grass sward plowed under just
before the seed IS planted will grow
potatoes free from scab almost invaria-
bly,. but we think that the decaying
vegetation kills the fungus that causes
the scab.-EXchange

good gardener gets a better living for
himself and family than the special
crop farmer, affirms American Agricul-

ucts, beef, pork and mutton, eggs and
fowls, fruit and vegetables, and if he
wants to eat them he is not obliged to
stop and count the cost. He has no
fear o. starvation through stoppage Of
railroads or strikes. He is not as badly
affected by a poor season, for he has
several crops to depend upon, and, as
he usually sells more than he buys, it
is an easy matter TO keep out of debt.

Is safe and wise to plant beets as early
in the spring as we do any farm crop;
that prolonging the date of planting
gives a longer period for thinning and

finally that the date of planting seems

Best Time for Grating.

At the Connecticut State station the
best time for grating was found to be
from May - to June Il. Whip CRAFTS
on small stocks made the best union.
Cleft grating is desirable for large
stocks. Foliage should be left around
the graft to protect it from the suns
rays. When the grating is skillfully
performed, it can be reasonably ex-
pected that about 80 per cent of the
scions will grow.

Getting Ready for Potato Plant

Getting Ready for Potato Planting.
Go at the early potato field hammer
and longs" Put on the disk, spring
tooth. acme, smoothing harrow and
plank drag or anything else that you
have that will chop it up and help to
make it as fine as an ash heap. Then
do it again. Set the disk to cut deep
and fairly plow it up. crossing the piece
once or twice, allowing the disk to lap
one-half. Do not stop at pulyerizing
the surface for this or any other crop,
but cut and mellow and make your soil
fine right down to the bottom of the
furrow if possible. which will give the
millions of tiny. hair-like rootlets that
will later penetrate to this depth every
opportunity to reach and feed on all of
the available plant food contained in
every small particle of the soil. When
satisfied that your soil cannot be better
prepared, you are then ready to make
the first application of fertilizers, in
which you can afford to be very liberal,
since any surplus left from the rank
feeding potato plant will be available
for the following or second" crop, SO
that no part of it will be lost.-Ohio
