JAPS AS FARM HANDS.

A friend writes from IN eastern state
inQuiring whether it is possible to Sc
cure the importation of the Japanese
laborer as farm hand and wants to
know whether, if he could be obtained
for this purpose, he would be a sue
cess. From what we know of these
people we should regard them as well
adapted for work on our American
farms. They are trained along agricul-
tural lines from their youth and no
people on earth are making a closer
study of how to make a small tract of
land yield large amount of food.
linen as race they are very fond of
the soil, its cereal, fruit and flower
production. They are extremely eco
nomlcal, will never waste anything if
they can possibly help it and would
prove the best of help wherever farm
ing was carried on in an extensive
manner, such as gardening, fruit rails
ing and dairying. The Japanese gov
eminent has not favored the emigra-
ton OF its citizens heretofore, perhaps
having in mind the need Of all able
bodied men in connection with it's late
conflict with Russia. Now that the
war Is over it is possible that these re-
strictions may be removed and emil
grafton be at least permitted, If not
encouraged. The conditions in Japan
Tor the common laborer are such that
it would seem easy to induce him to
come to this country if he could, for
he there gets but 81 per month and has
to board himself out of that. The
north and northwest are badly handi-
capped today in their agricultural de-
velopment for want of reliable help,
the class of immigrants which are now
coming from Europe being almost en-
tlrely worthless as farm hands. We
believe that the importation of one or
TWO hundred thousand Japs to be set
to work on our farms would be q great
thing, not only for the Japs themselves,
but more so for the owners of our
American farms, which are not more
than half worked for want Of reliable
help. The Japanese have proved them
selves to be a much better breed of
humanity than we had ever believed
before and it is probably true that
there exists toward them none of the
prejudice which attaches to the Chi
neSe.

There never has been a time in our
recollection when the prices of all COM
mOdities maintained a more harmoni-
GUS relation to each other than at
present. No commodity is excessively
high in price, none selling below the
cost of production, and, what is more,
prices for commodities bear a fair and
equitable relation to the wages paid
to labor. While perhaps some Of our
economic conditions might be bettered,
1t is well to remember how very easily
they might be made worse, for there
is no country on earth where the COM
mon people are better fed, better
clothed or better housed than in Amer
lea.

ALFALFA FOR HOGS.

We are in receipt of two or three
Inquiries as to whether it is possible
to grow alfalfa proftably in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa. The
facts go to show that alfalfa can be
grown in any of the states named on
any rich, we'll drained soils and that it
will stand the winter weather of that
region. It will not, however, take the
place Of clover, as it does not work in
well with any ordinary course Of crop
rotation, and it will always be found
that the first cutting, which comes In
June, will be exceedingly hard to cure
for hay. In the territory referred to
it's chief use will be for hog pasture,
and in this capacity it will prove SIM
ply Invaluable, for it furnishes the hogs
Of the corn belt region just the thing
which is needed to balance their ra-
lions, the hog which has the run of an
alfalfa pasture being always thrifty,
well boned, healthy. We most unhesi-
tatingly advise every man who makes
a business Of raising hogs to make ev-
cry effort to get a five or ten acre al
falfa pasture for them. Five acres
will carry fifty hogs and, besides, give
two cuttings Of hay after July. The
many experiments which have been
made during the past two years show
that stand can be secured more sure
~ when the seed is sown in August on
well fortified and we'll prepared land
than when sown in the spring. Alfalfa
pasture for sheep, horses and cattle is
not a good thing, as there is danger of
bloat. Alfalfa hay, however, makes
very fine winter ration for the dairy
cow, the hay when we'll cured being
worth pound for pound about as much
as bran. The many small fields Of al
falfa which have been sown in Iowa
the past two years are nearly all
great success

WHAT TO DO WITH THE CORN CROP

WHAT TO DO WITH THE CORN CROP
A number of leading agricultural pa
pers are specializing as to what shall
be done with the corn crop of 1905 as
Stunning that it Is to be q very large
one and consequently low in price. 1t
looks to us as though if the crop of
2,35O,OO0,OOO bushels of 1904 which
was one Of the largest crops ever pro-
duced, has disappeared at about 40
cents a bushel, leaving empty corn
cribs all through the corn belt, there
is small need to worry as to what will
become of the crop Of the present year,
which bids fair to be but little, if any,
larger than that of last year. The fact
is the uses for the corn crop have been
so multiplied and the cost of trans
portation so lowered compared with
what it was twenty-five years ago that
no one need be in the least worried as
to the demand for all the corn we can
or ever will raise There is perma-
nent export demand for corn on a ba-
sis of living prices to the producer, or
at ~ W 20 CoutS d UuSuel DIT pIILudIy
markets. But the real market for our
big crops of corn is right at home and
is very easily absorbed by the men who
are making the beef, the pork, the but
ter, the poultry and other food prod
ucts, and there is to be a good demand
for all these prodMcts, for the American
workingman has ample employment at
good wages, and when he has work
and good pay he is always good eat
err. No need to worry about the corn
crop, for it is not going to be as big
as some crop boomers try to make it,
and every bushel is wanted. The real
thing to worry over is the fact that the
average yield of corn per acre Is not
one-half what it should and might be.

The feeders of beef cattle will this
winter be able to get corn around
80 or 80 cents; the price of beef next
summer is likely to be about the same
as this-from 81 for the poorest to
$3.50 for the best. On this basis feed
ers should be bought around 1925 to
insure profitable winters feeding. 1t
is true that roughage-ha straw and
stalks-will be cheaper this winter than
usual, being in great abundance Still
we would not want to pay over So for

We know of one forty acre field Of

growing crop of corn good for seven

It is good thing to keep in mind
that the very best way to insure good
seed cOrn-corn which will surely grow
strong and thrifty next ynr-is to
gather it during the fore part of
October before the frost has touched
it and then dry it out and keep 1t
where the frost will not touch it until
next spring. This plan will make test
ing the corn unnecessary.

Here is a fertilizer item which will
bear often repeating: Every load Of
barnyard manure put on the land is
worth not less than 81 to the man who
does it. A rotation of clover of two
years is worth in fertilizing value as
much as ten big loads of manure to the
acre, and the man who sOws it has
profitable crop while doing it besides.
If one has yellow corn on the hills. it
means that the land is calling for
clover or manure and perhaps both.

Whenever the farmers of any COM
munity organize cooperative society
for the purpose Of shipping their own
grain and other farm produce they in
var1ably run up against a snag when
they try to secure site for an elevator
on the railway grounds, the roads not
taking kindly to this new method Of
doing business and doing all in their
power to protect the owners of eleva-
tors already built. Passing the ques-
ton Of the wisdom or economy of this
cooperative method of handling farm
products, we 90 not think the roads
have any moral right to discriminate in
favor of any man or set Of men and
that the privileges associated with the
use of the roads should be open to all
alike and that without question or de-
bate. The people gave the corporations
their valuable rights and franchises
and in many cases helped to construct
the roads themselves, and it is simple
equity that there should be no discrimi-
nation practiced by them.
We noted the difference lately be-
tween two fields of corn-one growing
on clover sod turned over year ago,
the other, Immediately adjoining,
planted on field which had been crop
ped with small grain for several sue
cessive years. One was rich, dark
green and good for sixty bushels per
acre If not more, the other was yellow,
feeble and everywhere lacking In thrift
and vigor and cannot possibly produce
over twenty-five bushels of corn to the
acre. Now it was giving the land ro-
tation In clover, that fertilizing and
soil fitting work which the clover plant
does for the land, which made all the
difference between these two crops.
Many men do not understand this i'm
portant fact and never use clover, and
they never raise as good crops as their
neighbors who do. Every 100 acre
farm has back and remote fields which
are too distant to be handily reached
with the manure spreader, and for all
such fields clover is the best and
cheapest fertilizer possible to use.
The mass Of men are of the average
sort; the most of the crops raised are
Of the average yield; the quality of
most Of our domestic animals is of the
average grade. Only a very few farm
ers aspire to get out of the rut of the
average way of doing things, being
satisfied with doing that we'll. The
successful men in any line of business
are those who are dissatisfied with the
schedule of average work and results
and aspire to something better. In ev-
cry community may be found some
man who aims to secure more than av-
erage crops. His corn will yield from
sixty to seventy bushels per acre and
other crops in proportion. and he counts
it as pleasure to do the work neces-
sary to secure such a yield He also
wants better than an average grade of
stock on his place and is willing to
spend the money needed 70 secure it.
The real field for ambition lies directly
connected with this trying to do better
than the average not only on the farm,
but in all other lines of human effort
and endeavor. Young man. do not be
content to be just an average man or
do average work. There is something
bigger and better in sight if you will
only reach for it
