The Possibilities Of One Acre.

When we were through reading
Prof. Spillman's interesting ac-
count of the Rev. j. d. Detrick's
fifteen acre farm, we felt sure, that
here was a case where brains and
ingenuity had combined to an eff
fort to wrest from the soil its ut
most that would with difficulty be
surpassed. At least in the line Of
dairying. Men who succeed as
mr. DERRICK, are as rule, so mod
est that they must be discovered"
Now comes Frank Leslie's of
October 18th, and details an &C
count of One Acre farm-a hor-
ticultural success. 1t is another
case of brains combining with our
skill and Judgment. 1t is a story
of What Irrigation did for One
Acre" Mr.. Samuel c. Cleck, of
Orlando, Cal was the owner of
that wonderful acre.
Purchasing one acre of land in
the corner of stubble field In
1877 he began to develop it and
when he laid down the burden Of
life short time ago, after q years
of labor, he left that one acre,
four thousand dollars in bank and
three acres of valuable land in the
village OF Orlando. ,u.E

Manure on the farm is seldom an
abundant article, and it is frequent
ly spread over the land injudicious-
ly. 1t should be the aim to annly
the manure over the poorest spots
of the field more literally than on
the portions that are fertile. By
so doing the farmer can utilize his
manure to the best advantage and
in few years have his land uni
form in fertility. When manure
is spread Unfortunately there
will be more or less waste because
of not having a sutilciency to prop
erly provide all the requisites of
plants.-Inland Farmer.

Stock Laws.

Now that the question of stock
running at large is being agitated
more and more the following from
the Bowling Green Times-Journal
&c -sTy pertinent:
There was a time, perhaps, years
ago when there was some excuse
for stock running at large. The
country was not then cleared up
aud in cultivation as now and
there was plenty of forage for cat
tie and other stock along the pub
lie highways. But all this has
changed and the stock which is
permitted torun at large on the
highways can find no grazing with
out committing depredations on
the farms along the way.
There can be no reason why a
man should turn his stock out on
the county to make living off his
neighbors, and the majority of the
farmers of the county re of te
opinion that instead of having to
fence TO keep stock off their prem
ises all should fence to keep their
own stock at home, and when this
is done there will be no unlawful
depredations. In short, it is con-
Minded that every man should keep
mis- own stock in an enclosure and
his would settle the matter.
