DRAINAGE SOMETIMES NECESSARY.

heavy and the resulting floods very
destructive through large section of
the west and northwest this summer.
Tempted by the series of dry years,
large areas of bottom or slough land
have been brought under cultivation
without other than surface system
of drainage. During such flood sea-
son as the present these lands have
been so much Of the time submerged
that a crop is impossible this year.
The same sort of soils where tile
drained are all right and will produce
fine crops.

Abundant moisture during the sea-
son when the crops are growing and
maturing brings trouble for the farmer
just as does lack of it, cyclonic
wind. cloudbursts, so called, hail and
interference with the work of cultiva-
tion-this just when the corn needs
constant work and the clover needs
cutting for hay. Then during such
times the weeds have things about
their own way and war upon them
becomes impossible.

ESSENTIALS IN DAIRYIyG

There are two fundamental essen
tiais in any sort of dairy business,
which apply with just as much force
to the small one COW dairy as to the
large ones, and these are cleanliness
in milking and the immediate cooling
Of the milk so as to extract the animal
heat from it. With either one OF these
factors in dairying missing, it matters
not how well all the other details may
be looked after there will be failure to
secure the best results.
The polled Hereford is a new type
of the improved breeds.

Now complaint is coming to us that
fields Of barley and oats sown In the
spring on which a pound or two of
rape seed We're sown with the grain are
likely to be crop failures for the rea-
son that favorable conditions of wealth.
er have induced too rank a growth of
the rape and it will be impossible to
cut, bind and save the crop Of grain.
This condition might have been obvi-
sted by delaying the sowing Of the
rape until the small grain was up.

The very best thing In the world to
do with town boy as soon as the
long summer vacation begins is to get
him out on some farm. 1t will be
good for his health, his manners and
morals. He will get lot of valuable
experience and be removed from much
temptation. Get him out in the coun-
try and let him work and play-any-
how, work.

Many men have made the mistake
this season in trying rape crop, SOW
ing the seed with oats, wheat and bar
ley, OF sowing too many acres. They
cannot possibly use all the feed which
will be produced. This fact should be
remembered about rape-it needs to be
fed down close, then the young and
new growth is always tender and APP
petizing. II not fed down, it soon be-
comes too coarse and rank for palata-
BILE ration.

All through the section of the coun-
try where, the writer lives there are
thousands of acres of oats at this date,
the last of June. so rank and heavy
that en- ordinary summer wind and
rain storm would lay them out fiat.
If this occurs, and it is quite likely to,
there will be great waste. After
heading out, if so blown down, such a
crop can be made of more value made
into oat hay than to let the crop half
rot on the ground waiting for the har-
yeSter.

The first moving machine which we
ever tried to operate was an old Hus-
sey, along in 1855. This was before
the guard for the cutter bar was in
vented, and the cutting arrangement
was made up of two sickle bars work
ing one over the other just exactly like
pair OF shears. These by striking OBJ
structions would become spread. and
then you can guess the rest AS d.
version later in the season we had the
old type of the Mccormick reaper,
nand rake. four horses, and all the old
Fellows will recall what a promoter
that was OF youthful piety.

Illustrating some of the possibilities
connected with vegetable gardening in
the southern states, we note that one
Florida gardener sold 951 crates of to-
matoes from two acre patch and that
they averaged him $3.50 per crate net,
or $713 per acre. This is as much as
lots Of men make from an eighty acre
farm in the northwest.

The country owes much to the I'M
ceasing restlessness and discomfort of
the American farmer, the man who is
always migrating to some new section,
the uneasy fellow who is always will
ing to sell out no matter how we'll he
may be situated. Still in the long run
this migratory habit has been bad for
him, thousands of men having at fifty
years of age little or nothing to show
for life spent in hard pioneer work.

The Poles and Bohemians have
learned how to make money on the
sandy, timbered tracts in central Wis
consin. They coax a growth of clover,
pillow the clover under, plant potatoes
and raise the finest potato in the osun-
try; then sow to fall rye and clover
the land again. They are getting rich
off land which in an early day was
thought to be worthless for agricul-
tural purposes.

The sympathy which exists in bird
life is confined almost wholly to those
of their own kind. We notice that
when a cat or hawk or snake menaces
a brood of young robins none save
robins comes In response to the call for
help; it is the same way with catbirds,
bluejays. crows and sparrows.

While the system of cold storage
now so generally coming into use gives
the big corporations controlling such
plants the opportunity to corner and
fix the price TO the consumer of the
commodities so stored and held. there
is no disputing the fact that the proc
ess has been of inestimahe benefit to
the producer, as it has not only equal
lied but advanced prices, which often,
because of the very perishable nature
of eggs, butter. meats and fruits, were
so low as to entail serious losses on

We note that many of the towns OF
the west have at some place on the

Testimonials of Good Times.

The declaration yesterday of a quar-
sterly dividend a 1.-THE rate of s per cent.
on jersey Central shares, instead Of
the 5 per cent. formerly paid, was
another case of the great railroad in
tersets declaring themselves as beliey-
.ers in the continuance of prosperity.
It's long list OF big railroads that
have done this at the very time Wall
street bears' we're proclaiming their
belief that either panic was impend-
ing or else that business was on gen
eral decline. Yet the large financial
interests In charge of the transporta-
ton systems of the United States go
on increasing their burdens amp the
profits Of stockholders. Assuredly these
men who have been conservative for
so long would not do this in the face
of certain decline in earnings that
would come with a general failing off
In business. Even those roads which
run through the Corn Belt, such as
the Atchison and Missouri Pacific, re-
port large traffic every week. and their
managers insist that the. increase in
general business will mere than make
up for the loss III corn shipments.
The improvement is more pronounced
in the hard coal roads than in any
others, but the soft@coal carriers are
also doing better than ever before IN
their history. The same is true Of the
lines which draw so large a patronage
from the steel and iron furnaces, mills
and shops.
Tie railroads are equally as good In
sdices to the business situation as the
iron trade, and certainly all that they
show is promise of good times for
TIE year 1902, if not longer. And that
is the general testimony In all lines OF
legitimate business. -Courier-J ournal.
