PROFITS IN FARMING.

In computing the profits connected
with farming it is never fair to take
results for any single year. There is
of necessity, owing to climatic condi-
tons, markets, crop failures in other
portions of the earth, wars, legislation
and other things, nothing uniform in
farm profits one year with another,
and to correctly estimate the profits of
well managed farm no less a period
than ten years should be taken, the
average profits for such term then
fairly representing the profits Of the
business. For instance, we have been
told by several business farmers that
the profits on their farm operations for
the year 1901 We're not less than 20 per
cent upon the capital invested, this net,
after all expenses were deducted.
Then we have known more than one
year when the farm was operated at an
actual loss. But few farmers keep any
book accounts with their farms, and,
as one man told us, the only way he
knew>when he was making any money
was when he took q load of hogs to
market and there was not some fellow
waiting for the money when he got
home.

the OLD GRANGER IN rows.

The sixty-year-old granger who rents
or sells his farm and moves to town
gets along all right for the first six
months. He enjoys the relief from the
burdens of farm work, the making of
new acquaintance, the loafing around
the streets and in the stores, but pretty
soon this gets to be an old story, and he
begins to find life in town desperately
monotonous, and for diversion ne very
naturally turns to local politics and
tries to run for county supervisor, and
by the time the local sharps have
knocked the stuffing out of him at the
caucus he thinks there is no place quite
so good OH earth as the old home on
the farm, and he is just about right in
his conclusions. The very best thing for
most such men is to stay in the old
home on the farm, build tenant house,
hire a good married man by the year
and have the fun of bossing the job.
With all the modern improvements
which may be secured to make farm
life pleasing and attractive and all the
associations connected with a life work
on the old farm and with nothing on
earth to do in town but loaf, we cannot
see where any man betters himself by
making this change. Put $1,000 into
improvements in the home on the farm,
and it is the best home to be had.

of the three little girls who are con-,
cerned more specially with other cases
against Vance and not the one in
which Inez Field is the complaining
witness. The reasons also deal with
the actions of the attorneys for the
state, and allege that the verdict was
arrived at through the exercise OF
prejudice and passion and that the
trial was not a fair one because it was
tried while the community was still
prejudiced against the defendant on
account of the crime he is alleged to
have committed.

WASTED WATER

What is dry river bed in the arid
territory of the west was recently
transformed into a raging torrent, car
rying thirty feet of water. Suppose
that a government dam, costing, say,
$1.OO0,OO0. had been there to have i'm
pounded this water and thus have per-
mitted its use over the sagebrush plain
during the crop season, how long would
it take for the land SO reclaimed to be
worth more than the cost of such i'm
provement? And $60,OOO,O0O is appro-
priated almost without debate by con-
gress for so called river and harbor i'm
provement, large part Of which is to
be expended upon the pulling of snags
from and the dredging of nameless
creeks and streams, the which when
the money is spent would not float an
old Erie canal boat. !.

ACCUSED OF THEFT.
Warrant Out for the Arrest of Robert
:. ~

EmPlSs
[Fron Fridays Daily.l
A warrant was issued this afternoon
by Judge Moon calling for the arrest
of Robert Empie formerly driver on
the Ottumwa fire department, who is
now charged with stealing hay belong
ing to the city, from the city hall
Empie had not been arrested at late
hour this afternoon but there is little
doubt but that he will in a short time.
1t is alleged that Empie has been
carrying on his practice of stealing
from the city for some time, and last
night, it is stated on good authority,
he was discovered in the act of taking
some feed from the city hall by one of
the members of the fire department.
Alderman Charles Deeds, chairman of
the fire committee of the city council,
was notified, and although he had re-
tired for the night he arose and went
to the city hall, where he made a sort
of preliminary examination of the mat
ter, but did not take any action with
regard to it.
Today Alderman Deeds continued
his investigation and the result was
that warrant was issued by Judge
Moon for the alleged offender No
tlIne mas as yet been set for his trial,
but it will be had in a short time and
it may be that it will bring out some
facts that will surprise even those
who are closely connected with the at
fairs of the CITY,
Empie, it seems, keeps horse in a
barn in the rear of the city hail. The
hay and other feed for the horses used
On the fire and the patrol wagons are
stored in the addition at the rear of
the city hall at the top of which the
fire bell is located. 1t is very easy for
any one who desires to do so to steal
into the bell tower and get enough
feed to keep horse without the theft
being discovered unless the offender
be caught in the act 1t is alleged
that the locks on the boxes in which
grains for the horses were kept have
been found broken and the present
case may solve this question also.

EIGHTY BUSHELS OF CORN TO THE
ACRE

We are asked how to raise eighty
bushels of corn to the acre. No matter
what man may do, this cannot always
be done because of weather condi-
tons; but, assuming that it is to be a
good corn year, the following things
must be done: Soil selected, piece of
good land, to be clover sod, upon
which fifteen loads of barnyard ma
nure are spread before blowing; plow
six inches deep first week in May; disk
three times and harrow four times be-
fore planting; get selected seed; be sure
to have two stalks in hill and not
more than three; drag, after planting,
every day till the corn shows above
ground; give one deep cultivation, the
rest shallow; pillow it six times, and,
the season being good, you will get
your eighty bushels and maybe more.

In the pioneer days on western
farm we paid 20 per cent for the use
of money with which to buy seed grain,
pay taxes and hire help. That was
not the worst Of it, for wheat had to
be hauled a distance of forty miles to
market to get the money to pay such
a rate of interest. 1t was no wonder
that the pioneer farmer had hard
time to get out Of the woods.

If a farmer expects his women folks
to take care Of the garden, he should
in all fairness prepare piece Of ground
for the garden in the very best posi-
BILE manner, and it should be in long
strip, so that he may run his cultivator
through it frequently. The small square
garden made up Of beds and worked
with spade, hoe and hand rake is the
hardest way of all to care for the gar
den.

Potatoes which are located six inches
under ground are not as easy TO dig
as those which are hilled up on the sur
faae of the ground, but they are nearly
always of better quality. When pota-
toes lie within two inches of the SUI
face, the heat of the sun impairs their
quality.

We went by farmyard the other
day where man was wading around
in pair Of rubber boots through a
good eight inches in depth of semi
liquid, mushy manure. He seemed to be
after a cow, trying to milk her. This
same man had two or three stacks Of
old straw lying out in his fields, right in
the way Of his pillow, which he will have
to burn up to get rid Of this spring.
Somebody tell us why he did not know
enough to haul that straw into his yard
and thus secure a clean and whole

same time make a lot of most valuable
fertilizer? Just too lazy; that's all.
