WORKING SEQ LAND.

We are asked how best to make these
higher priced farm lands profitable. In
most cases 1t means quite radical
change of methods. This change viii
have to apply to the kind of crops
raised, the use made of these crops, the
kind of stock kept and the manner Of
working the farm. The selling of raw
material--grain and forage crops-will
have to stop and the profits secured as
a result of working up this raw mate
rial into some form of product which
will cell for more money. 1t will in
volve something like systematic rota.
ton of crops, the growing of more
clover or alfalfa, the better cultivation
of fewer acres and the keeping of only
the best grade of stock. 1t means an
entire abandonment. of the old happy
go lucky 'let-' er go-Gallagher" tyr of
farming so common in the past. 1t will
mean more care in the selection of all
seed sown, the determination of weeds
the silo, some tile draining, a general
stoppage of common farm wastes. In
cidentally it will mean the utilizing of
the benefits of the farm institute work,
the reading Of more agricultural papers
and bulletins and some experimental
work for every man to carry on him
SELF 1t will mean not so much working
harder, but the putting Of more gray
matter into what work is done. 1t will
mean regarding farming as a profess
sion to be studied scientifically rather
than as an avocation to just get living
from. Not every man will be able to
handle 500 land with profit, and the
ten dollar an acre fellow will have to
go west or work for the man who can.

The reports sent out from one Of the
experiment stations TO the effect that
soft corn contains Just as much nutri-
mcnt MS sound corn, only that 1t car
ries 20 Per cent more moisture, are
calculated TO mislead for the reason
that there Is so much difference In the
quality of soft corn. What is called
soft corn where the writer liyes-corn
which was In the milk when hit by the
frost which will be all shriveled up
when dry, is certainly not worth half
as much as good sound corn for feed
Ing purposes and is today being sold
by thousands Of bushels for less than
half what good corn will bring. One
man who Is fattenlng a bull has got
