Intensified Farming.

An acre we'll attended will re-
turn more than two acres indif-
ferently attended. This is true
whether devoted to cereal, vege-
table or fruit. An intelligent
comprehension of what the grain,
the plant or the food requires,
and knowledge of what the
soil contains, that the plant food
be properly supplied, is the first
requisite, and the second and not
less lmpor tant requisite is prop
er tillage. The thrifty horticul-
turist who lives in his garden,
feeding his plants, and constant
ly on guard to route the vegeta-
ble's enemy, whether germ,
worm or weed, is the man that
makes the single acre turn into
his till as large net. revenue as
many Indifferent farmers can
secure from a hundred acres.
The intelligent orchardist who
knows the treatment mis- trees
need and the soil upon which
they feed, and keeps vigil over
each fruit-bearer, when the fruit
ing time comes can secure his
product in perfection, and his re-
turns are larger by far than come
from orchard or vineyard many
times larger owned by those who
permit weeds to associate with
tree and vine, giving ne thought
other than to expect fruits from
weed and thistle patch.
The new era of farming and
fruit culture is particularly
noticeable in the South, where
attractive truck farms flank
prosperous industrial centers,
and well.kept and well-attended
orchards yield their abundance
of incompatible fruits, where
thrifty farmers till less land, and
do it better, and get greater re-
wards than wasting time over
large -areas.-Southerm Farm

Worlds Fair Notes.

Frederic w. Taylor, chief of

and acting chief OF Horticulture,
is making a tour of Southern
State fairs and eastern cities in
the interest of his departments,
which will have about thirty
acres under roof and large out
door areas devoted to various
methods of farming and fruit
growing.
Twenty-three foreign govern
ments and "a states have taken
favorable action upon the subject
of making exhibits at the Worlds
Fair.
1t is announced from Washing
ton that the gold dollars to be
struck in commemoration of the
Centennial Celebration of the
Louisiana Purchase by Worlds

ready in December of this year.
Two designs will be used, one
the head of Jefferson, who
negotiated the great purchase,
the other the head of Mckinley
who issued the proclamation of
the Worlds Fair. The number
will be limited to 100000. They
will be placed on sale by the

Mining Or Manufacturing
@:S%~1:

.~S.~
There are two ways of thinking
of the farm. There are two ways
of treating the farm. The one way
is to treat itas mine, from which
successive cropsmay be quarried
and shipped away without return
ing anything to the soil. Great
as is our livestock industry this
is yet the more common way of
doing in all our richer and new
cr States. Some of the older
States have learned by dear expe-
rience the ruin that comes from
soil mining. Some have reform
ed their practices, some have
made their land a desert and
have themselves abandoned their
countryside to eke out an exis-
tence in the cities or to try soil
robbing again in newer and more
fertile region. The sure result
of successful mining is exhaus-
ton Of the stock and wealth.
This is as true of agriculture
as it was of the Comstock lode,
most marvellous deposit of silver
the world ever saw. That mine
is silent and abandoned to-day
The exhaustion of the mine is
necessary. The exhaustion of
the soil is an offense against econ
omics and unborn posterity.
There are no farms this side
the Missouri where the farmer
can aifol d to neglect soil conser-
yation, soilimprovemcnt. There
are no soils too rich for corn, for
grass, for alfalfa. Experiment
ters with alfalfa have brought
home to us with something of a
shock and truth that our fields
are very generaly deficient in
fertility. We have been too long
accustomed to think of our soils
as inexhaustibly fertile. We
have mined them and sold
away the crops or we have fed
to the stock in open yards from
which little manure has been CO.
lected and returned. Soil eX-
haustion is not merely near, soil
deterioration is present. 1t pays
to keep fields up to high level
of productiveness. Fortunately
this is not diff cult with our pres
ent knowledge of what plant
food consists of, with our COM
mand of feeding stuffs, our know
edge of the value of manures and
our better ways OF distributing
them. The knowledge of the pow
err of the legume to tap the sub
soil for potash and phosphorlc
acid, to draw down from heaven
the nitrogen and store it away
has added to our possible wealth
an hundred fold. Rotation of
crops, intelligent feeding of ami
mails and application of manures
will greatly increase it.
Then the farm may be consid-
cred as a manufactory. The
"raw material" garnered from
the productive fields is worked
INTO finished form by live stock.
1t is converted from a crude state
into marketable products. The
by-product of this process of
manufacture-the manure is
conserved and returned to the
field. 1t has been said that no
one can ':eat his cake and have it
too" The stock farmer can
come nearer performing this
apparent imr disability than any
other man. The animal takes fat
from his feed and leaves fertility.
And this fertility properly saved
and utilized means a continuation

TEACHING INDIANS.

The first step toward absorption of the
Indian is to teach him to earn his living.
Industries may be diversified, and thos.
who show special adaptabiiity should BIT
encouraged.
Every effort should be made to develop
existing native Industries, such as basket
weaving, canoe building, smith work and
blanket work. Indian boys and girls
should be given confident command of
English, and prepared for struggle with
the conditions under which their people
