A Model Farm.
From the Kansas city Journal.

From the Kansas city Journal
No one would be so presumptu.
Ous as to estimate what will be the
ultimate population Of the United
States. This is a subject for much
interesting speculation. Some fear
is even now felt that the limit of
productivity in this country will
soon be reached by reason of the
rapid settlement of our waste and
public lands. Nothing better
shows how causeless this fear is
and what great possibilities of
further growth and development
still remain to us, than a little
pamphlet just issued by the de.
partmeut of agriculture, styled
"A Model Farm"
This model farm is situated in u
very old settled district in South
eastern Pennsylvania, near a large
city, aud contains only fifteen
acres. Thirteen acres are under
cultivation, aud the remaining two
acres are occupied by buildings
and surrounding yards. This little
tract Of land came to its preseut
posscssor in 1881 with mortgage
Of - 200 upon ii, The first year
the farm lacked S4G Of paying eX.
penses. BY careful management
the owner within the next six
years paid off the entire mortgage
aud interest, That is, he made
81 200 year oil his fifteen acres,
and this sum is the annual net
profit he has been setting aside
ever since the debt was paid,
The methods which this farmer
employed to bring about such sue.
cessful results are worth the con.
sideration of the whole agrcultur.
al world. The natural soil of this
little farm is poor, reddish,
gravelly clay, II was 80 run down
in 1881 that II did not support the
two cows aud one horse kept up.
The Van Buren press., 1904-09-03

on it. Now il raises the rOughness
for thirty head of stock, seven.
teen of which are milch cows.
The present remarkable state of
fertility was brought about solely
by the use of stable manure ap.
piled directly from the barn as it
was produced. The method of
handling the manure was such
that none was lost, either liquid
or solid. No commercial fertiliz.
ers were purchased and no manure
WAS hauled from the city or from
other places. The waste from the
farm itself, judieiously preserved
aud distributed, was used TO bring
the farm up 10 its present high
state of productivity.
On assuming management of the
farm, the owner read QuinCy's
book on the soiling of cattle, pub
lished in 1859 "SOiliDg' consists
in cutting aud feeding green feed
instead Of allowing the animal 10
run on pasture. This practice the
farmer adopted and carefully pre-
served all waste. The next year
he read Stewards book on feeding
animals and learned his first lesson
in "balanced rations." He also
learned TO feed some dry hay with
the soiling crops, thus giving the
manure q proper consistency.
ThencefOrward the management
of the constantly growing herd of
cows was simple matter, and
the farm began not only to pay a
profit, but to increase in fertility.
One man and q boy do the labor
of the farm, except in hay harvest
and during the cutting Of slage.
The owner does only such portions
of the ordinary labor as he can not
safely trust to hired hands, but he
plans all the work and sees that
his plans are strictly followed. SO
systematic is the work that he
often goes away for weeks at a
time without notice to his labor.
ers, or interruption of the regular
routine. He has plenty of time for
rest and recreation. He pays no
regard to rotation of crops. His
remarkable success depends sole.
ly upan planting the right kind of
crops, feeding his animals a bal.
anced ration, preserving all man
ure and waste and protecting the
farm from being washed out by
torrential rains.
The lesson gained by this one
mans success is that inferior lands
can be made fruitful aud that
ordinary lands can be made to
yield twice or three times as much
as the present average by careful
aud INTEL gent husbandry. Such
husbandry is not generally prac.
ticed by American farmers, but
eventually it will be practiced, and
then there need be no fear that
the product of the farms will not
keep pace with the growing popu.
