POOR FAR,rIyG.

To one used to the broad lines upon
which western agricultural operations
are conducted-rows of corn half a mile
long, work all done with horse and
machine-there was something almost
pathetic in seeing the men who try to
farm among the hills of Virginia and
Pennsylvania prepare the land and
plant field Of corn. The field, like
enough. was some irregular, narrow
two acre strip bordering some stream.
the seed was dropped and covered by
hand, a third hand dropping handful
of plaster in each hill, and all this
when it required much faith to believe
that the stalks of last years crop could
have produced over fifteen bushels per
acre. In one small field containing less
than two acres we saw. the man. his
wife and five children busy planting
the corn crop. These people. don't
know or they wouldn't stay there and
do so.

DON'T coppLE BLAcKBERR1Es

Speaking about blackberries, how
this luscious fruit does grow and revel
down among the mountains of Penn
sylyania and Virginia, acres growing
wild in all sorts of almost inaccessible
places, while out west when given the
best of soil and treatment it proves the
most balkg, disappointing and agra
waiting fruit Il man can try to grow!
With us after trying six years to
raise blackberries, pruning carefully
in summer, covering in winter, mulch
ing and irrigating, we never succeeded
in raising a crop and so plowed them
all up. and now the pesly roots which
survived the blowing and the hard
winter are this year white with bloom
and promise a big yield. There are
some things which are best let alone,
and the blackberry is one, for the more
you coddle and fuss with it the poorer
it does.

where the spirit of town Improvement
has become almost epidemic; not in the
line of spending large sums of money
for metropolitan accessories. but in the
line of each citizen trying to make his

as attractive as possible. The work
consists largely in tree planting, lawn
making, the culture of flowers, the
painting of buildings and the hiding as
far as possible of all unsightly things,
the good spirit having widened from a
pride in the individual home to pride
in the appearance of the whole street

BETTER WORK ON FEWER ACRES.
Said friend to us the other day,
"Would you have man, when he has
got his farm paid for. just settle down
to the humdrum life of working it and
not try to acquire more land and more
property?" Our answer to this is that
the great problem of living is to find
out how to get the most out of life.
When the average farmer finds him
self the owner of 160 acres of good
land and is out of debt he is in posi-
ton to not only enjoy life, but be of
some use to his family and the COM
munity in which he lives. His labor i'll
the care of his farm need be in no
sense monotonous thing, but he will
prise, ambition and the intelligent do
ing of better things that he could de-
sire 1t is unfortunate that SO many
men rate success in farming to consist
of the getting and owning of more ant
more acres rather than in an intelli
gent comprehension of the soil and its
| capacity to produce. On such farm
a man may find hundred ways for
growth in the lineo of his profession-in
better methods of soil cultures in I'M
proved stock, in new crops, in lines of
intensive agriculture whereby he may
double the crop product of his farm.
Nothing is truer today than that the
average farmer needs not SO much
more land rs, he does the knowledge
and ability to better care for that
which he already has.

It is probably true, that as the condi.

1t is probably true that as the condi-
ton of farmers becomes improved
financially they become more careful
in buying. Under the old credit sys-
tenn, when big account was run at
the store to be settled once year
when the wheat was sold, much was
bought and charged which now when
cash is paid for goods is not purchased,

cash than his credit.
