HOW TO SPEND Al. 900.

We are asked how to spend $1,000 on
q quarter section farm, fairly well i'm
proved, to the best advantage. Assum-
ing that this refers to an average farm,
with average Improvements and carry
ing an average assortment of stock,
we would put $500 Of the money into
a little pure bred stock Of cattle, swine,
sheep and poultry, making the money
go as far as we could, but getting
start in each of these lines. The other
5000 we should invest by sending the
boy to a good agricultural school and
thus give him an idea of the benefits
to be derived by combining science
with agriculture. This would carry
him through one year. and there would
be no trouble in furnishing the money
to enable him to finish his course. This
sort of an investment will pay better
than Canada or Dakota land, oil stocks,
gold dredging schemes or any of the
hundred and one attractive bats put
out to separate the farmer from his
money.

THE PEAT BOG.

We are asked what is the best to do
with peat bog containing six or seven
acres located on farm. 1t only af.
fords little poor pasture as ii is. The
oughly drained. This may be done by
running an open ditch through the
center and then thing into the ditch.
We then would cover it over with a
good coat of barnyard manure, sow
some timothy seed literally on it and
make a pasture of it. In three or four
years the soil will become SO dried out
and compacted that it may be plowed
and put into crop. and it will be found
the most productive field on the farm.

THE CLEANERS,

In the olden times the women fol-
lowed the harvesters and CLEANED the
fields of the scattered grain. and this
practice is still in vogue in many sec
tons of Europe where land is high and
grain is dear. Modern harvesting ma
chinery properly operated leaves but
little for the cleaner even if we had
such in America, but there are CLEAN.
ings on nearly ali the fields after the
crop is removed weeds. grass, self
sown grain and patches OF down grain
which are we'll worth saving. and the
sheep better than any other animal can
do this work. Any 100 acre farm in
the west would easily make thousand
pounds Of mutton out of these wastes.

A DIFFICULT PROPOSITION.

The great scourge of the Mississippi
valley proper below st. Louis is the
periodical flood which devastates it.
The millions of money which have been
put into levee construction have result
ed in the sure and certain raising Of
the level of the river bed. making it
each year more and more difficult to
prevent the overflow of water. China
practiced the same method for hun
dreds of years with the Yellow river
until it has become vast aqueduct
and constant and terrible menace in
times of food to the millions of people
who live on the plains below.

TOOLS FOR THE CoRNFIELD.

The corn grower can easily use sew
eral kinds of tools in the cultivation Of
his crop The weeder up TO the time
the corn is ten inches high does very
effective and expeditions work If the
weather is dry; on fields where there
are many old stalks or roots the disk
cu,tivator will do splendid work; il
many large weeds. such as rosebushes.
mullen, milkweed and sunfiower are In
the field. the surface cultivator will make
a clean sweep of them. while If the
weeds have got start in the field the
four shovel cultivator followed by the
weeder will best dispose of them. Fifty
years ago corn was worked with a
stirring pillow and hoe. No need for
that now.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE,

The Dwarf Essex rape has come
greatly into favor during the past FIVE
years as forage plant. Only few
years ago IL was almost unknown.
Now almost every up to date farmer
grows it, some for a summer hog pas
ture. some sowing it for a catch crop.
some sowing II with small grain and
some among the corn. each finding It
very useful no matter how grown. IL
you have not tried 1t as yet sow a
small piece for the pigs. Plow up the
old hog lot and sow II. turning in when
the rape is six inches high.

The chief barriers in the way of the
adoption of generally improved sys-
TEN of agriculture are ignorance and
prejudice. Too many men still think
old ways good enough for them. Con-
servatism and caution and decent re
gard for ones grandfather are all well
enough up to a certain point, but ev-
cry man should be able to see that the
world moves on the farm as well as
elsewhere.

We attended two farm sales recently.

The continual tramping of stock will
kill trees of any sort. even the bur oak.
Thus when you turn stock in your or
chard or in your grove you are taking
the surest nd most effective method
to kill your trees. This fact should be
remembered by men who work hard to
deliberately take this means Of de-
vroying them.

WINTER WHEAT, HOGS AND. CORN.

We have a friend who has made a
small fortune out of raising hogs, just
hogs, and here is one labor saving plan
he has followed up for years: He sows
winter wheat, Turkish Red, among
his corn at the time of the last blowing
in July. When the corn has become
well glazed in the fall. he runs a hog
fence around his cornfieid and turns,
the hogs in, about eight head to the
acre, and there they stay. living on the
corn and the wheat until snow covers
the ground. He is saved the labor of
harvesting the crop. gets. the field well
fortified, has very healthy herd Of
hogs, and his three successive crops Of
winter wheat have been thirty -one, for.
ty-two and forty-four bushels per acre.
