A DEFINITE POLICY PAYS.

1t Is the following up of definite
policy ON the farm which pays best
in the long run. This includes the Sc
lection of and the sticking to the
breeding of some one variety of cattle,
hogs, horses, sheep and poultry and
the adoption of some system Of crop
rotation. The constant shifting of
breeds, the crossing and recrossing,
the hit and miss assignment of crops,
are the heaviest taxes there are on
agriculture in this country today. One
cannot raise all kinds of stock nor
grow all sorts Of crops. and the very
common attempt to do so results in
disappointment, failure and loss.

HOLD ON TO THE OLD HOME.

A man owning an excellent farm in
the state of South Dakota got the Pa
cific coast fever and sold his farm last
winter for $40 per acre. At quite
heavy expense he moved his family
and belongings out to the coast and
after spending three months there
hunting for a location came back to
his old community and tried to buy
back his old farm, the owner of which
wanted $12 per acre more for it than
he paid. If you ever get an attack of
this fever. rent the old place, but don't
sell it; then start on hunt for bet
ter place to live. Not finding it, you
will have a place to come back to.

BEEF EATING ENGLIsHMEN.

An Englishman is naturally car
nivorous animal. He is one Of the
best judges of meats to be found. He
eats lots of meat and wants it rare
done-sort of bloOdy-so that it will
taste good to him. This undoubtedly
has a good deal to do with making
him such good scrapper and fighter.
He wants his beef cooked in large
joints and likes it better cold than
hot. He takes our best beef and pays
the highest price for it. AS he is GER
tain to keep on scrapping, fighting and
eating beef, he becomes one of Amer
ica's best customers.

THE FARMER AND LEGISLATION.

The real political power of the farm
ers of this country was never better
illustrated than in the passage of the
oleomargarine law. Every congress,
man and senator who had COW keep
ing constituency heard from home. and
most of them believed that their place
in congress really depended upon Civ.
ing their support to this measure. II
proves that when the agricultural in
terests of the country really want any
legislation in their interests all they
have to do is to go for il. just as they
did on this oleo business

The outlook for the farmers of the
country has never been more promis-
ing. Good prospects for crops are re-
ported from nearly all sections, the
foreign demand is likely to be large and
prices are certain to be good. AS a re-
suit Of this condition we look for still
further increased demand for farm
lands and still greater rush for the
unsettled portions of the northwest.
Even the dry sections of the north
west will harvest fine crop this year.
and that will prove great stimulus
to investment.

A PROBLEM IN RoADMAkING.

The agricultural department sent out
missionaries last year to preach the
gospel of improved highway making.
They took the rock crusher and other
appliances with them and would stop
here and there and make II few rods Of
road. This may be all well enough in
some places. but what the great west
wants to know is how to take black
gumbo soil and convert 1t into good
roadbed when there is neither gravel
nor rock within fifteen miles.

Of the local merchant, who was almost
forced to take it of his patrons. 1t was
placed in the cellar in old barrels and
sometimes shipped to Chicago to be
sold for song for axle grease and
sometimes taken by night and dumped
In the river to be rid Of 1t. The cream
cry has changed all this, and that kind
of butter is wholly unknown now.

In order to secure a coloring matter
for their product the oleomargarine
men are trying different experiments,
hoping to find some plan whereby they
can color the stuff and not violate the
law. Here's one for them: They might
have the steers whose tallow they use
fed ON carrots. 1t works with the
COW and might with the steer, though
he does his dairy business on a little
different plan from the cow.

Wales paid 1.-THE or church tax Of
800 in the year 1881. Then wheat
sold for 1920 per bushel, barley $1.20
and oats so cents. In 1901 the 1.-THE
had been Increased to $112.50. with
wheat at 80 cents, barley 70 cents and
oats 50 cents. This will explain why
the English farmer is not inclined to
be pious.

Plants find the best condition of soil
for their growth and development
when the soil holds about 80 per cent
of the moisture of which it is capable
of carrying. Less than this keeps the
plant from making a normal and
healthy growth, while an excess tends
to exclude the air, which is almost as
vital as water.
