PROFITABLE Pastures.
English Farmers Get Good Returns
From Every square Inch of Land.

English Farmers Get Good Returns
From Every square Inch of Land.
One of the surprising things in farm
ing is the gradual development of land
to a point where it will yield returns
never dreamed of by the early cult
vators, says American Cultivator. Over
in parts of England and Scotland farm
ers and dairymen make living from
pasture lands which have an assessed
valuation of $500 and $500 an acre.
They do this when prices for the prod
ucts are no greater than American
farmers receive. The secret of their
success is necessity. They have been
forced to make every square inch of
soil pay it's highest profit, and as a re-
suit they have some Of the finest pas
lures in the world. The sod is so thick
and compact that it is almost impossl-
bic to cut through it. The roots form
solid mass in the soil, and the grass
grows luXuriantly, even defying dry
weather, and produce good crops in
spite of close cropping late in the sea-
son, when frost ordinarily kills less
successful pasture. The thing of it is
the farmers have cultivated the SOIL
planted and replanted grass seeds,
dressed the pastures repeatedly with
fertilizers and made them i'll every way
productive and fertile. The soil is not
more adapted naturally to pastures
than millions of acres in this country
which today produce only Indifferent
crops of grass. The soil is made arti-
ficialIy rich, and the sod is the result Of
careful, intensive farming.
So it is these English farmers make
a profit from land worth ten times as
much in money valuation as the pas
ture fields of this country. Now, if it
is possible to improve pasture fields so
that they will produce like these Eng
fish ones, what an enormous profit
awaits the American farmers who will
improve their fields to the same pro-
ductive fertility! Instead of being
forced to pay interest on an investment
of $500 an acre the average dairyman
| iR this land would have to pay only on
| $40 to $50 per acre. All the rest would
represent profit.

The American linden, or Eastwood,
as some call it, is a first class honey
bearing tree, says Farm, Field and
Fireside. 1t is something of the nature
of the maple or the sugar bush, but is
perhaps much harder than either. 1t
grows to an immense size, makes the
most beautiful shade tree and is very
valuable for its timber owing to the
whiteness and fneness of the grain Of
the wood. 1t would seem that this
wood would be an improvement over
the maple so extensively grown. There
is no doubt of the superiority of this
over the maple in hardness and as an
ornamental tree for shade it certainly
exceeds the maple. The limbs and
foliage of the linden grow more COM
pact when grown out in the open
ground and thus less liable to be dam
aged by the winds. Almost all nursery
men handle them, but their introduce
ton in the western states seems to be
slow, possibly from their unknown val
ne. Catalpa is another good honey
bearing tree and comes in good time
just a little ahead of the linden. Both
of these trees furnish a good quality
of honey, but the linden is rather the
best and indeed Isl perhaps the second
best from cloyers. Catalpa is extern
sively grown in the west and is a
great help to the beekeeper

PLAT OF FARM SHOWING 1ATERA1s.

PLAT OF FARM SHOWING LATERALS.
nels must be fitted in and the ground
leveled. Theoretically they should be
given such grade as will result in Il
moderate velocity for the water, but
not sufficient to wash the earth along
the sides and bottom of the ditch.
One irrigator of considerable expert
ence recommends that field laterals
should have a fall of at least ten feet
per mile. The laterals should be To-
Gated nearly at right angles with the
direction of the greatest slope Of the
land so that the water will flow from
rather than along them.
If the surface Of the ground is some
what uneven, the problem of locating
the permanent laterals becomes CORE
spondingly more difficult, often render
ing the use of the engineers level nee
essary. 1t may be possible to cover
all the ground by locating the laterals
along the ridges, or there may be high
points entirely surrounded by lower
ground, making it necessary to build
bitches on artificial ridges or bikes to
carry the water to them.
The inexperienced irrigator often con-
siders that the ground occupied by the
laterals is waste land because it bears
no crop. Accordingly he makes them
far apart, so that the water must flow
a long distance to cover the surface
between any two. This usually results
in the overrrigation of that portion of
the crop near the lateral in use, as the
water must be kept flowing there until
the entire surface to the next lateral is
irrigated.
1t will usually pay to do some work
in smoothing off the little Irregularities
in the surface of the farm. This may
be done with a plank scraper or drag
after the ground has been plowed. The
drag cuts away the higher points and
preparation Of the surface is quite inn
portant, as it reduces the time and la
Dor required in irrigating. A more uni
form distribution of water is also OBJ
tanned, which increases it's efficiency.
Theoretically the surface Of the ground
SllOulNI DC JllllC sui ldCN, VIII just
slope enough to allow the water when
delivered at the highest point to flow in
thin, uniform sheet.
We will assume that the farm is
planted to such crops as are ordinarily
found in the arid region, say ten acres
of alfalfa, ten acres of grain, five acres
of potatoes, five acres of garden, five
acres of small fruits and five acres of
orchard, as shown on the plat of the
farm.
If it be assumed that there is a fall
of four feet across the farm from north
to south and two feet from east tC
west, the water can be made to flow
either west or south from any point
The greatest slope of the land is little
south of southwest, and this is the di
rection the water takes if left to itself
If the laterais are run south from the
main ditch, they will make an angle of
about seventy degrees with this line

A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer, but to cure a lame,
weak or aching back is what's wanted.
Cure it so it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it.
Mr.. H. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm
street, Amesbury, Mass, says: "Mrs.
Smith, from cold which settled in her
loins, suffered so severely from backache
that she was unable to attend to the or
binary household duties, often finding it
impossible to even make bed for three
months. 1 had read great many state
ments of residents of Amesbury who pos
itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured them of backache and other
symptoms of kidney complaint. This led
me to make some inquiries, and as q re-
suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course
of the treatment. It cured her. 1t is so
long ago that 1 am confident the results
are permanent. We never lose an oppor-
tunity of advising others who suffer FROM
either weakened or over-excited kidneys
to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we
know of scores in and around Amesbury
who have taken our advice and were not
only surprised but gratifed at the beue,
fits received"

Agricultural BreyIties.

which is to raise frogs for market.
Good crops of tobacco are reported
from the cigar leaf districts of Con-
nectcut, New York, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin.
1t is certain that the potato crop Will
be very short in the central states, says
Country Gentleman. Late potatoes are
generally improving.
The poorer grades Of apples will help
to satisfy the demands Of the evaporat-
ing plants this season.
The onion crop is not full one, and
conditions seem to favor comparative
ly high prices, according to American
Agriculturist.
Lining the soil intended for beets,
preferably in the fall, the application
of acid phosphate and Thomas Stag
with the seed and the treatment of the
beet seed itself with fungicidal sub
stances are suggested by the station for
root blight and heart rot.

SEED CORN.
Butts, MiddIes or Tips-A Pointer For
Corn Growers.

Butts, MiddIes or Tips-A Pointer For
Corn Growers.
According to the Ohio experiments,
there is no practical difference in the
yield from either butts, middles or tips
of ears of corn and no difference in the
number Of barren stalks.
a contributor to Wallace's Farmer
says: "Of course not. Why should
there be? But if they had mixed butts
tips and middles together and planted
them they would have had a better
yield. Their experiment shows nothing
more than that butts, tips and middles
when planted separately are each one
as good as the others. This | have al
ways claimed. However, to increase
the yield and have the ears fill out at
each end the corn of the entire ear
should be planted. The grains from the
butt being a little later and those from
the tips a little earlier, the period OF
polarization is thereby prolonged, and
better results are thus obtained"
This is valuable information to every
corn grower. The longer the period of
polarization the more perfect are the
results. The tip kernels give the earlier
and the butt the later, and the why is
made manifest of larger yield by
planting the kernels from the whole
ear mixed together. This fact seems
established, and once lodged in the
mind of the corn grower lie will no
longer feed the tips and butts of his
seed corn.-Southern Ruralist.

Such an arrangement permits the water
to flow away from rather than along
the laterals. The main ditch divides at
A, as shown in the diagram; one branch
runs south to L, while a second runs
west to d, the middle OF the north line
of the farm, where 1t turns and flows
south to M. The field laterals receive
their supply of water directly from
these bitches.
Alfalfa Is irrigated by the method
known as flooding, which may be de-
scribed as follows: Nearly parallel
bitches, Be, EFF, etc, are made 100 to
$50 feet apart through the field In the
present case six bitches are made, 10
feet apart, dividing the field into six
