Modern Farming

The life of farm is a type of the
life of a man,-the man, sometimes
for it either grows old gracefully or
it grows old disgracefully. ''Times
are changing; things are not as they
We're" No, and we are glad of it.
There was much good in the past and
much that was bad. We must cling
to the good and leave the bad. Change
is not always improvement. far from
it, but when change for the better
can be made let's always make it.
That is progress. In ornamental and
landscape gardening, as well as in
farming, we have not made SO very
much advance ON what past genera
tfons could show. It is in details and
varieties we have gone on, but We
use our materials little better than
of yore. In commercial sense, old
fashioned, slip-shod farming must go.

DDS in disposing of products. To keep
pace with this progressive movement
requires net only closest attention to
the work, observation in the field,
but study of the methods successfully
employed and improvements made by
others. Neglect this and we shall be
left in the rear, excelled by our neigh
bors and with pockets empty. But be.
cause a man is poor, or has a small
farm, let him not be discouraged. The
ability to pay for labor does not al
ways produce satisfactory farming.
The soil must be fitted to derive the
largest possible product by the prof.
er use of plant food, which permits OF
the application of labor to the best
advantage. For instance, small! areas
can be made largely to increase their
yields more easily and readily thar
