SMALLER AREAS AND BETTER
CARE

An agricultural paper published I'm tn
west Is bemoaning the tendency or farm
ers to reduce the area Of working soil, In
some localities they are forced 10 this by
the increasing value OF farm property with
the consequent taxation making 1t too vail
liable i'm the one sense and too expensive
in the other to use for farming purposes.
There is, however. another side to the
question aside which farmers in all Sec
tons located near good markets have
learned. and this is that 1t is more profit
able to till ten acres well than a hundred
ill. Near the great city of New York there
are a hundred men or more who raise
market stuff on land worth several thous-
and dollar an acre. They pay high rent
for such land and make a profit simply
because they get several big crops from
the soil. with the help of hot beds and cold
frames, in a season. 1t may be claimed
that such work is not possible except in
such a locality, but those who know say
that prices in New York are frequently
much less than II many Of the smaller
cities and towns, which is undoubtedly
true. A neighbor OF the writer, in Iowa.
makes more profit from seven acres in
small fruits and about an acre, range and
all, devoted TO poultry. than do most of

fifty 70 eighty acres in extent.

that il costs nearly 5 cents, but as we get
from 10 y cents a dozen more than can
be had for basket eggs, We feel IL proht-
able to continue. Many poultrymen and
growers of fruit complain that their labels
are being initiated by other growers, those
who grow inferior products. Our inyesti-
cations indicate that not other producers
but INSCRIPTIONS middlemcn are at the
bottom OF this dishonesty. There Is no
remedy but TO try and plan a package
which cannot be used a second time with

PREPARING VEGETABLES FOR
MARKET.

The market gardener catering to a select
trade win find 1t profitable to present his
products in a most attractive form. Any
vegetables that are punched should be
washed clean, be free from bruises, the
specimens of equal size as nearly as pos
sible and the green tops fresh. If the
farmer markets beets, for example, to be
sold as stock food, then this punching and
selection would be labor lost. Follow the
demands Of the market and remember al
ways when selling to consumers you have
he housekeeper to please and the average
nousckeeper knows that what she buys
must be not only fresh and attractive, but
something she can cook to the best adj
vantage. or If 1t is TO go on the tabl un-
cooked. something that may be served
attraCtively and with the least amount of
labor; hence, the uniform size, the green
tops and the cleanliness OF anything in the
vegetable lire will appeal to her. Take

the birds the needed shade. The same
trouble will not obtain in the orchard
where fowls are kept in small lots and
the houses frequently moved. or where
they occupy the orchard by day and the
houses in another part of the farm by
light. Just here Ii may be said that one
of the causes of failure with poultry

that they ought 10 get profit from them

II ono is willing TO fertilize the soil in
