Too MANY Laws.

A good many state legislatures are
just now in session. In most Of them
are a lot of third rate attorneys who
need watching pretty close to prevent
them from putting a lot Of useless legis-
lation on the statute books. We have
too many laws and not a few which
are so contrary to public sentiment that
they remain a dead letter. We cite
as an instance a law which was passed
in our W state of Iowa some years
ago, which required the township au-
thorities to erect signboards at all four
corners of the pubic highways. The alb
surdity Of the law was so apparent
when it was undertaken to put it into
practice that everybody laughed and
dropped it. Still, this law has never
been repealed. Then there are laws on
a hundred and n petty matters, so
many hat not even the lawyers them
selves can interpret them, let alone the
common people.

Our Small Farm.

The winters farm is only a small
one-forty acres-ten acres sugar bush
and 5000 apple trees, mostly Wealthy.
The crop for the coming year will be
clover, five acres; corn, ten acres; on
ions, two acres; melons, one acre; pop
corn, two acres; potatoes, two acres;
raspberries and Strawberries, two acres,
ana a piece for experimental purposes
on some new crops. These crops named
will be mostly grown among the Or
chard trees, allowing the trees a strip
sixteen feet wide upon which no crop
will be grown, but which will be kept
continuously and thoroughly cultivated
up to the list of August, when it will be
sown with buckwheat as a winter cover
crop. Two Jersey cows, $50 hens and
six hogs will constitute the stock equip
ment of the little farm. We figure that,
barring bad luck, we will make our own
maple syrup, have a family supply of
eggs, chickens, pork, butter, fruits and
fuel and a little to sell for pocket non
ey. besides more or less as the fruit may

in managing a little farm on these lines,

Short Corn Crop Troubles.

The short crop of corr for 1901 and
the consequent high price which this
cereal commands are affecting some ag-
ricultural interests very unfavorably,
notably the dairy interests and the feed
ers of cattle and hogs for the market.
Conditions this winter are such that it
is almost impossiblefor a mar to handle
a dairy of cows with profit. the price
of dairy products having failed to main
tain a profitable relation to the food
stuffs out of which they are made. The
corn at 60 cents and average beef and
pork at 8 IL cents a pound is another
Improbable condition of things for the
man who feds the corn. 1t is II Of
those rare years when the man who has
stock is at a disadvantage and when
the man who raises grains and forage to
sell has his innings.

We are asked whether it is the duty
of the man or his wife to get up in the
morning and build the fire. On general
principles any man in good health who
will let his wife do this work needs
the discipline of the church. Where wo-
me mare made to do this they will al
most always speak of their husbands
as their man." the tribute which is
usually the last to retire. She has the
kids to look after, the cat to put out, the
clock and like enough, some sockings to
darn and q patch to put on-Johhny's
breeches long after her man" is abed
and sound asleep. Then. if a man has
to build the fire the kindling is always
ready, which is not always the case
when his wife builds it. However, there
are some exceptions to this rule. Where
the woman dominates and practically
runs the farm and the home and the lit
tie man up in his bed is only a pawn
for her to nov here and there, in such
cases let her build the fire every time.
Few men become so thoroughly hard

Permanent Pastures.

We have one or two inquiries as to
permanent pastures-how to get them
and what kind of grasses to sow. An
answer to this to be worth anything
must presuppose a knowledge of soil
and latitude, yes, and longitude also.
In the Western range country West of
longitude 100 there is probably no bet
ter permanent pasture to be had than
that consisting of the native grasses,
and these must not be too closely fed off
or the weeds will soon take the place
of grasses. In the corn belt, as far
South as central Missouri, the perma-
pent pasture becomes in fact a pure
blue grass pasture in a very few years,
no matter what kind Of grasses may be
sown. We know of one case where eight
different kinds of grass seed was sown,
to make theoretically. at least. a model
permanent pasture, but at the end of
four years there was nothing to be
found there but blue grass and a lit
tie white clover in spots, He land usu-
ally devoted to permanent pasture is
generally unfit for cultivation. either

being too rough, broken or wet. For
the rough and broken tracts nothing is
better than blue gras. while the wetter
lands may be improved by the addition
Of timothy and elsike clover. A good
job Is always done in the early spring
when a man takes some grass seed-me-
dunn clover, white clover, blue grass
timothy-and, scarifylng the bare spots
with a disk harrow, sows some seed
with a liberal hand. 1t is overstocking
which spoils the permanent pasture, and
if one is so situated hat such pasture
can be divided and one-half fed off at
a time, giving the other half a chance to
grow, the pasture would be more pro-
ductive and enduring. The good per-
manent pasture should always be in
such a condition that the owner would
feel sure that he could carry more head
of stock in it.

A very successful nurseryman gives us
the following method of preparing wax
used in grating which seems to have so
much to commend it over the old way
that we give it to our readers: Take old
cotton cloth, pretty rotten; prepare the
wax according to the usual formula and
spread it when warm upon the cloth
after the "a cools into strips, which
accomplishes all that can be done when
the wax is melted and wastefully APP
piled with a stick. This plan makes
