WITH A FEW ACRES.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
The farmer with a few acres has q
problem to solve quite different from
the man with hundreds. The latter
oan raise almost any crop or drops
he desires, and do it with q certain
amount Of ignorance and careless.
ness which would bankrupt the
farmer with a few acres. Yet in
many respects the latter has the ad-
vantage Of the former, and of the
two / should prefer the farm of
twenty or twenty-five acres to Quilt
vate. The reason is that in the latter
case brains must enter largely into
the management of the farm, and it
is always satisfactory to use
the brains instead of the hands in ac-
complishing success. The small farm
must first of all be used for raising
only such crops which will give the
surest and largest returns, and every
square foot of it must be cultivated
to the highest degree. 1t is possible
then TO make more than a living,
and have one of the finest and best
farms in the country. What a salts.
faction that is to any ambitious man
you can readily imagine.
On a small farm there should be
dairy cattle, pigs and fruit. This
may not suit all farmers, and it may
be disputed by some as to whether it
is a wise selection. But we will see.
Suppose we plant in the first place
several hundred fruit trees-fve
hundred peach, apple or pear trees
according to the nature of the soil
and climate. Then while these trees
are growing we will raise dairy COWS
and a few pigs. The COWS in particu-
lar should be raised for their milk
and cream. This can be done profit
ably if there is any good market near
at hand or a creamery which pays
according to the worth of the milk.
Plant nearly all Of the land left un
touched by the fruit trees with corn,
leaving only ar acre or two for pas
ture OF recreation ground for the
COWS. When the corn has reached
the glazed state cut it for the silo,
and put it all in for ensilage. Buy
sufficient wheat or bran or similar
grain and feed it with the ensilage
the year round. Feed everything in
the barn, and let the COWS have the
freedom of the pasture lot for exer-
ctse. The animals will produce more
milk and cream in this way than any
other and you can keep more TO the
acre than If you attempt to raise
grass and hay for them. They will
learn to love the ensilage and
prefer it 80 almost anything else,
and summer and winter they will do
we'll on Is If supplemented with grain.
A few pigs may be kept on suoh a
place and they will thrive we'll on
the skimmilk obtained at the cream
cry for a nominal sum. Indeed, the
go together very we'll, unless the
milk is sold outright to a CITY mar
ket, where there is no skimmilk re-
5urns. Then the pigs will have to be
dispensed with. Meanwhile, the
grove of fruit trees should be Quilt
waited diligently, and a few more
acres set with them every year. Of
course n will then soon need more
1cres, or if he intends 80 adopt fruit
growing exclusively, the dairy COVE
be dispensed with gradually as
more land is planted with trees.
