SMALL GERMAN FARMS.
owner OF. q Quarter section IL Con-
sidered a wealthy Person in
the Old Country.

g. w. Ggimmer, farmer and feed
er at Greeley, Kan, who is native of
Germany, in commenting on the visit
of the German student of agriculture
to this country at this time said to q
Drovers' Telegram representative:
eff German farmer; that is, the av-
erage countryman, has ten or IS
acre tract of land, he is considered
somebody. Many farmers own only
five acres, but they plant so many diff
ferent kinds of grains. vegetables and
the like and till and fertilize the
ground so well that the five acres is
ample to support generous-sized
family throughout the year. A quar-
ter section of land is a moderate-sized
farm in America, but in Germany the
owner of such tract Of land would
be considered very wealthy person.
Appetizer thing in which American and
German farm life is different is that
the Germans farm is rarely in one
body. The land there is so valua BILE
and it is divided into such small tracts
that a farmer often finds himself own
ing couple of acres in a body, an acre
or two half mile away and four or
five acres in another direction, The
farms are, thus, nothing more than
good-sized gardens. Many western
Kansas farm has larger garden and
family orchard than the average Ger
man farm. A farm in the old country
costs from 5000 an acre up"

1t had been q closely contested

Two Glasses OF Farmers.

There are two classes of farmers,
saws recent writer: First, the man
who is bigger every way than his
farm. To such man it doesn't make
much difference how many acres he
has. he runs the farm on close prac-
teal business principles and makes
profit. Second, the man whose
farm is bigger than he is. No matter
how many or how few acres he has,
he doesn't run the farm. The farm
runs him. E. p. Snyder gives an ac-
count in the Ohio Farmer of a dairy
man living near Toledo, who keeps
IS Jersey cows on 100 acres of land
and has made them earn the past
year $4,000 gross, from which he has
a profit of $4,000. He makes butter
and sells it in Toledo at IS cents in
summer and 80 cents in winter. His
cows, counting butter, skim-milk and
everything, earned him over $125
apiece. This is an extraordinary
herd.

The Modern Potato Planter.

that the potatoes be supplied but
will do all the rest Of its own initi-

looks it oyerAor seems to-cuts it
into halves, quarters or any desired
number Of parts, separates the eyes
and removes the seed ends. It plants
whole potatoes or parts thereof, as
desired, as near together or as far
apart as the Judgment of the farmer
on the driving seat suggests. Having
dropped the seed it covers it, fertil-

hands, this is folly, madness!- your
nerves have rum away with your
imagination. For Gods sake don't
look at me like that! We are not
responsible for what is coming; we
have both done the best we knew
how"
She drew away sobbing out:
..Don't try to salve my conscience!
When every thought stings like q
scorpion, and we both know that
you, you, you controlled my every
thought and the whole fiber of my
being was alive only for you!

she fingered her rosary.
There was one long sigh and soul
