All land, river bottoms and the like,
which is subject to periodical overflow
Is far more profitably kept as perma-
nent blue grass pasture than to attempt
to cultivate it and take the chance of a
crop of corn or other grain once in two
or three years. Such a blue grass pas
ture when properly used will pay lar
ger net return each year than the aver
age acre of the farm which is cropped
Assuming the season to be a favorable
one for the growth of grass, an acre of
such blue grass will produce at least
So worth of beef, and this is almost all
net profit.

We are asked how we would pro-
coed to raise bumper crop Of corn,
assuming that the season of 1905 is a
favorable one for the development of
the crop. We would want piece of
land which had not grown corn for
four years, which had been In clover
the two years Immediately preceding,
which was plowed last September, the
last crop Of clover being turned under;
we would put ten loads of manure on it
per acre with a manure spreader, get
as near as possible three kernels in
each hill Of the most carefully selected
seed. keep drag and cultivator at work
on the field five, six, seven or eight
times, remove all barren stalks and not
let weed grow. This is good for
eighty bushels per acre. Just try it
and see.

A buyer of hogs and cattle Of twenty
years ago told us recently that he al
ways planned to make at least $50 a
the farmers. Then they were almost
totally ignorant of the real state Of the
market and readily accepted the price
which he offered. He says that those
good old days are gone. never to return.
Now the farmer is just as well posted
as he is and, more, knows just exactly
what it will cost him to ship his own
stock, and his $50 car has gone a-glim-
mering.

A new ship, the Minnesota, recently
sailed from Pacific coast port for the
Occident carrying $4,000 tons of Amer
lean produce and merchandise. The
great capacity of such a vessel is best
understood when we say that it is capa-
bic of transporting the product of PIG
well conducted quarter section farms,
allowing each farm to produce seven
ty-five tons of hay, eight tons Of pork,
four tons of beef, two tons of butter,
twenty tons of corn and ten tons Of
oats and potatoes.

In much Of the western territory
there is now no further excuse
for neglecting the dairy business fol-
the reason that there is no creamery
near by. The cream separated on the
farm finds very ready market al
almost any railway town. where il
will be tested and paid for by the local
agent of some central and distan,
creamery, to which it will be shipped
by rail two or three times each week
Under this plan the dairyman gets his
pay for his cream each time when it is
delivered.

A great fuss has been made over the
discovery of a very large diamond in
South Africa, said to be worth a mat
ter of 100000, but there is county
up in north central Wisconsin, which
only few years ago. was a wilderness
of brush and pine stumps, which the
past year sold dairy products of a
value Of over $2,0OO.0O0, and, what is
better, will do it every, year right along.
When TIE lumbermen left it, 1t was

Many farm institutes in the west are
interesting the farm boys of their coun-
ties by offering liberal premiums for
the best corn grown by the boys, to be
exhibited at the Institutes to be held
next winter This is most worthy and
sensible thing to do. 1t is always easier
to interest the boys in any line of pro-
gressive agriculture than it is the OLD
men.

of these crops seriously interfering
with the development and maturing of

A reader in Nebraska wishes to know
what variety of grass to select for the
purpose of seeding down a hog pasture
In which are trees which partially
shade the ground. In any of the states
east of Nebraska there would be no
doubt what kind of grass would finally
take possession of such tract, for no
matter what seed might be sown, the
blue grass would soon occupy the field,
but we doubt if the blue grass has vet
become domesticated so far west.
What would be better than even blue
grass would be alfalfa, which in most
parts of that state does remarkably
well. He suggests bronze grass. but we
are inclined to think the best thing to
do would be to put the soil in the best
condition and sow to alfalfa. which
makes the very best hog pasture in the
world.

A man, just common sort of
farmer, whom we know received $40. IS
for the cream product of his nine
cows during the month of January. OF

It is a good idea to have the farm

The mechanical condition of the soil
has very much to do with it's produc-
tiveness-far more than most farmers
think for. 1t is an easy matter for the
soil to be too wet or too dry, to be too
cold or too warm, to be in such condi-
ton that it will admit too much air or
not enough. 1t matters not how much
fertility the soil may possess, if the
mechanical condition of the soil is not
right the plant food which it contains
is not available. A lack of humus in
the soil, very common condition on
all lands long cropped with grain
crops, always inSures an unfavorable
condition of the soil. 1t runs and be-
comes a mortar bed in a wet time and
bakes and cracks in a dry time The
good farmer will seek to remedy this
common fault by giving the land rest,
renovation and new fertility with clo-
yer and by the blowing under of some
green crop and the application Of
good coat of barn yard fertilizer and
by pasturing the land for a year or
two. Land of a clayey makeup X
plowed when wet is put in bad me-
chanical condition for the entire sea-
son.

No one thing will help the cause of
good roads more than the development
of local public spirit among the mem
bers Of the community which is direct
~ interested in such improved high
ways. AS it is too often now. a small
break in bridge which any man could
fix in five minutes causes the discover
er to travel three miles to get a road
boss to fix it at an expense to the dis
trict of a dollar or more. The public
spirit which we refer to would have
made the man fix it himself and made
no fuss about it. Some day men who
own good farms-Some are already do
Ing twill take a real pride in the
highways which border their farms and
will cheerfully give Of their labor such
work as is needed to keep them in
good condition. A good example in this
line is a great factor in influencing any
community, for it is true that good
example is Just as contagious as a bad
one.

fact that for half century at least
the dirt road will be the common high
way of the country. This dirt road Is
for period Of at least eight months
In the year the best road in the world

best accomplished by thorough drain

Natures method of restoring lost fer
tility to wornout lands is through the
medium of grass and trees. 1t is a
slow process and may be seen in op-
Grafton on countless thousands of acres
in the east and the. south on lands
which were once wheat and cotton
fields. On most of this land she works
by the tree method, covering these de-
pleted and starved acres with confer
and deciduous trees, with vine and
shrub. Little by little humus and fer
tility are restored to the soil, and at
the end Of seventy-fve years the forest
may be again removed and man go in
to the soil robbing business again.
