Food can be appropriated by plant
roots only when it is in solution or
in a condition capable of being dis
solved by contact by the acid sap of
the tiny rootlets. Matter which is in
neither of these conditions is use
less to the plant, though it may af-
forwards become available by various
chemical actions within the soil.
Most of the ingredients of-soil are in
an insoluble condition. This fact,
while it makes that $1,282.50 look like
30 cents on the dollar, is really of the
utmost advantage, as else soils would
lose their fertility by heavy rain.
We learn from this lesson the ire
mendous value of virgin soils; the
fact that lime is not a fertilizer, but
q "digester"; that it is of the utmost
Importance to nserv the natural
fertility of o~ur~soils; that humus

crops turned under) not only furnish
Is much good food in it but also helps
to digest and render available the in
ert plant food; that soil in good
filth gives up a larger proportion of
its riches than where it is sour, sad,
cIayey or Doggy; that the secret of
successful farming is the judicious
handling of the soil by rotation, til
lage, leguminous crops, stable ma
nure, ETC., so that the barb-wire fence
is broken down and the vast riches
within now marked "non-negotiable"
are rendered convertible into good
wheat, King Corn, long staple cotton,
or whatever speciality or diversity
the farmer may choose. The spring
is a good season for studying soils.
The other good seasons are summer,
autumn and winter.-H. A. BERGMAN,

Live Stock at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition.

The Louisiana Exposition, in rec
ignition of the magnitude and i'm
portance of the live stock industry,
and approaching that St. Louis, the
seat of the Worlds Fair of 1904, is
practically the geographical center
OF the largest improved stock-pro-
ducing area on the globe, has appro-
priated a quarter-million dollars to
prizes for which the worlds stock
men are invited to compete.
This vast sum makes possible a
classification much in advance of
any heretofore attempted, with
prizes on a scale of generosity before
unknown in the history of exposi-
tlons. The largest sum previously
offered by a like enterprise was $142,-
500 at the Columbian in Chicago in
1893.
In the classification every branch
OF improved animal industry is to
have its proportionate recognition,
Wether it be the Percherons, Short
Horns, Pigeons or Pointers; whether
the meek-eyed COWS from the Chan
mel Islands or descendants of the
american bison that once made pop
ulous the plains beyond the Nilsson
Fl; whether the petite ponies from
the Shetland Isles or the robust mule
That has in recent years so rapidly
advanced in public esteem by his
proven usefulness in war no less than
IN the prOsaic paths of peace. For
the accommodation of the array of
exhibits which will compete for the
prizes offered, the management have
allotted thirty acres of the most de-
slrable ground in all the Exposition
tract of over twelve hundred acres.

WHAT system Will DO.

But perhaps of greater value al an
illustration than any other instance
I could cite is that of a man In my
native State of Rhode Island. He
inherited from his father a very good
farm, beautifully situated and of fer
tile soil, though rather far from mar.
ket. For some reason or reasons it
paid him very little and he became
greatly dissatisfied. He finally de-
cided to keep for one year a separate
account of each feature of his farm
in order to ascertain which was the
most and which the~least profitable.
This brought to light some surpris-
ing facts. He found hat he had
been ~fattening steers at a loss, and
that his dairy was barely self-sustain-
ing. His sheep paid much better, but
the one feature which paid far in
excess of any other was his poultry.
On this there was a net profit of a
trife over a dollar a head per annum.
He now gradually disposed of his
cattle, keeping more sheep, and in
creasing his poultry (Which he kept
on the COLONY plan") till he had over
sever thousand hens. Figured on the
above basis, which is a safe one, the
income from these alone is no mean
figure, to say nothing of what he
realizes from his sheep and other
sources / have personally examined
(and admired) his farm a great many
times and know that it is an exceed
ingly profitable one. And yet this IS
the same farm which formerly yield
ed only a meagre and unsatisfactory
income.
I might cite other examples, but
the above are probably sufficient.
They cover very diverse conditions
of soil and climate, and, I think, con-
tain, in pretty full measure the an
swer to our question.
The question may very naturally
follow, eff agriculture can be made
to pay so well as a business why not
have not more men gone into it as
such?" The answer is simple. Young
farmers have rarely been trained IN
exact business methods, and habit
holds them to their manner of life;
while young men in the cities lack
that intimate knowledge of agricul-
ture without which all the method
and system in the world would never
make the farm pay. The number has
thus been restricted of those who
would naturally grasp the possibili-
ties of agriculture, and to whom it
would appeal as a thing in which
brains and capital could be proftably
invested.
Nevertheless, I believe that in the
future-possibly much sooner than
any of us expect-greatly increased
attention will be bestowed upon agri-
culture as a business. It's possibili-
ties, as brought to light by investiga-
ton and the gradual narrowing of
many other fields, will naturally com
pei this. It is a field that has never
been overdone and If contains golden

BOOKKEEPING ON THE FARM.
There, As Everywhere Else, It Bears a
Vital Relation to Success.

have been asked the question, "Can
farming, as a business, be made to
payg" The question is a very old
n and 1 suppose will continue for
some time to be asked. Ny answer
has always been the same: eyes, but
it must be remembered that farming,
as a business, is subject to the same
general principles which govern any
other business"
IF a man were to start a cotton
mill and keep no account of receipts
and disbursements, take no care of
his machinery and keep no lookout
on the market, how long could he
continue in business, or what bank
or individual would think for a mo-
ment of advancing him credit TO car
ry on his enterprise? And yet the
same necessity for exact business
methods exists in agriculture as in
manufacturing.
"But," says some one (and, in fact,
I heard this same argument only a
few days ago., "a cotton mill is a big
affair and a farm "a comparatively
small me-; and the exact methods of
the one are not necessary in the con-
duct of the other" Unquestionably
the farm is usually-though by no
means necessarily--a smaller affair,
but a business conducted without sys-
tenn must of necessity be small.
I have purposely used the cotton
mill as an illustration because, though
great fortunes have been built up by
it, the making of cotton cloth is not,
in itself, a very profitable industry.
There is a larger percentage of profit
on many agricultural operations,
and the comparison of the two in
dustries illustrates the old truism
that a bad business we'll managed will
pay where a good business poorly
managed will not.
1t is true that the number of bust
ness failures among farmers is ex-
tremely small as compared with other
classes, a fact that many agricultural
journals dwell upon with insistence.
But why are these failures so infre-
quent? Simply because, with a very
large proportion of farmers, agricul-
ture is not a business at all, but only
a means of subsistence, which is a
very different thing. A man who has
no business cannot fail in it. But
though farmers may not often be
driven into bankruptcy, they sustain
losses from neglect of business meth
DDS which they little suspect.
An illustration of this, which I
think is worth giving, recently came
to my notice.
An acquaintance of mine had one
hundred and two COWS On his dairy
farm. The farm was not paying,
and he asked me if I could find where
the trouble lay and point out a rem
edy. After a careful examination of
his farm and equipment | told him
I doubted if all of his COWS were
paying him a profit.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-07-28

qualities were fully ascertained, dis
closed the fact that eleven out of the
one hundred and two were being
kept at a loss, while several others
were barely self-supporting!
The wedding out of these worthless
animals made it possible to dispense
with the services of one of the farm
hands, and a further test proved that
the cows would give just as much
milk and keep in better health on a
considerably less expensive ration
a thing their owner should have
known long before.
The advantage to the farmer of
knowing just "where he is at" In
each and every department that he
has in hand wound seem to be so self
evident as to be beyond the realm of
discussion. "But I don't need to
keep books" said a country neighbor
of mine; "I have a good livin' and
Pm sure O. hal much; then if I have
say, $500 to the good at the end O
the year, I don't need any book but
my bank book to show me I've got it
and there's my profit, see?"
No, I didn't see, and I asked him
at what figure he estimated the cost
of his living. He had very vague
ideas on this subject and was sur
prised when I told him that he ought
to know, and that the figure should
be added to his $500. I said I sup
posed he at least knew what he paid
out during the year for groceries,
-four and household supplies. But
no, he didn't know even that. Furth-
er talk disclosed the fact that he
never disbursed any cash for these
luxuries, but "caIlated" for his hens
to pay the store bill, always trading
eggs for groceries.
"Then you don't know how much
to credit your hens withY No, he
didn't. But the critters done all he
required of 'em; they paid the store
bill.
Ny averment that an accurate
knowledge of ones business was es-
sential to obtaining the best results
of which it was capable he admitted
did sound kinder rash'nal; but he
caTlated to hit pretty nigh the mark
without much cipherin', and conclud-
ed as follows: eve farmers hev got
a vein o. luxuriousness in US that
amt always evident in our exteriors,
and we're willin' to lose a few thou
sands o. dollars in a lifetime for the
sake o. freedom from harrassin' de-
tails-a sort O. livin' up to our ideals,
as u parson says" The unquestion-
ed philosophy of this reply excited
my admiration, butt doubted its
truth. I felt sure that he would not
pay the price, nor anything like it,
for that particular kind of freedom
if he realized it in it's full extent.
This man was by no means a fool;
ON the contrary he had much native
sagacity, and many sterling qualities,
but his training from boyhood up
