Why Farms Run Ont

Forty years ago." says an east
ern farm journal, money was made
on farms that nowadays are not pay
ing expenses, and that are running
farther and farther behind year after
year. The explanation is that the
farms have been cropped regularly
and exhaustively, that is, cropped
and not fortified sufficiently. A
western paper figures out the ex-
haustion of farm land Counting the
market value of commercial fertil-
lzers at the figures now prevailing,
the production of certain staple
farms would take out of the soil as
follows:
$50 acres in meadow, from which
ton per acre was removed each yea r
for 40 years, $4O8 per year, or for 40
years SIG, 230.
$50 acres in potatoes, 125 bushels
per acre, 1851 per year; 40 years
500, 40.
$50 acres in wheat, 20 bushels per
acre, 800 pounds of straw, $455 per
year; 40 years $18, 200.
$50 acres in corn, 30 bushels per
acre, $454 per year; 40 years $18,-
1863.
eff these four crops were grown in
rotation the annual yearly loss would
be 1859 so; 40 years $18, 78O.
$50 acres devoted to making beef,
5000 per year; 40 years So, 100.
80 acres from cows where the milk
was sold from the farm, $13O.62 per
year; 40 years So, 224.
$50 acres devoted to cows where
only the butter product was sold
from the farm, SIG per year; 40
years $46.4O.
''Forty years ago many of the farms
made butter, which removed only an
insignificant amount OF 1erLllGy. Iney
began to ship away milk, and the fer
tility went with the milk. They grew
other crops, which carried of large
amounts of fertility In the forty
wears from 80 acres potatoes took
500. 44O worth of soil fertility; possibly
the farmer replaced $4,000 worth in
the form of fertilizers. The $2O, 44O
he probably reckons as saved, . but
his land is ruined.
ssTillers of the soil cannot afford to
overlook the fertility question. 1t IS
with them from the start to the I'm
ish whether the finish be bankruptcy
or amassed wealth.

And the cave is dark and deem.

The little maid his voice obevad

ana came from the rocky grave.
And the youth of Main to rise was fain.
AND his mother walled no more.
but now the Giver of Life is dead.
And JOY and hope are DER

Oh, not in the tomb is he!

"4e shall meet him on Galilee!"
weep no more. though We weep so sore
For the loved in the farther land:
Though the dust be spread on the cher

The soul is in Jesus hand.
Ana the mourner knows that his lord

And the death on earth is a beavenlv

And time is eternity.
