beyond question that Lydia e. Pink

During my stay in Italy, saw a good
deal of the italian farmers life ana
ways. In upper Italy, especially in
Lombardy, Tuscany, and Venice, the
people are very industrious and thrifty.
The general impression OF one is that
the people of this part of Italy have
more the habits and ways of the French
and Austrians than what is generally
attributed to the italian race. 1 men
ition this fact for the reason that there
is an immense difference in color,
habits, and thrift between the people
who inhabit these parts Of Italy, ana
those who inhabit Calabria, Naples,
Sicily and especially those of southern
Italy. People from these parts are
very apt scholars; very intelligent, but
Of fiery nature, sensitive to the slight
est joke and taking it for an insult,
but invested by nature with extreme
generosity TO their friends, and bitter
hatred to their enemies.

schooImate's home in the outskirts
of the city of Turin during one of my
short vacations. It was the estate of

estate, which is warered by branch of
the River Arno, is generally used for
the cultivation Of wheat and corn,
while on the higher elevations grapes.
fruit trees, and mulberry trees for
raising silk worms thrive. There I OBJ
served that the men, women and chill
dren from seven years up, amongst the
farmers, work from sunrise to SUM-
down: and I never observed one OF
them to be weary of their task. They
seem to be happy, high spirited and
pleasant On many occasions I have
had the pleasure of partaking Of meal
with the old farmer that had control
of the running of the estate. We had
to sit on wooden boxes in one single
ground apartment of the castle; which
served as a bedroom also for family
of six children with father and mother
while in the next apartment cows and
calves where chewing their cud. Inc
meal consisted especially of rye bread;
and the famous dish of the farmers Of
Lombardy called polenta. 1t is nothing
more nor less than pudding made OF

including garlic ond olive oil. This
portion is passed around to the guests
and family by the mother, after cutting
the pudding with a piece of silk thread
in enough slices to go around. Wine
and water are also used at all their
meals What surprised me more than
anything else. was the minute regular
ity of their work Every child knew
just what was expected of him to per-
form during the day, the same with
the father and mother, and I was told

THE MIGRATION TO CANADA.

HI SANADAs
The stampede of farmers from the
States to western Canada still contin-
ues, the number settling there this sea-
son being estimated at not less than
$4,000 The conditions there are very
attractive. The land is cheap from
So to $15 per acre-it is easily brought
under cultivation and is especially
adapted to the growth of wheat, oats,
barley, fax, potatoes and vegetables.
The quality Of the wheat produced Is
Of the best and always commands the
highest market price, and then 1t is
safe and very productive crop, an aver
age Of twenty bushels per acre for a
period of twenty years being claimed.
There are some drawbacks to farm life
in that faraway country. The Ameri-
can has to live under hhonarchial
form Of government instead of a re-
public, farm work is crowded into a
short period Of each year, farms are
large, and the people live an isolated
life; then the wheat business is sure to
come to an end there, just as 1t has
done In all new countries in the United
States, and for want of the ability to
raise corn the carrying on Of a diver
sified agriculture will be far more diff
ficult than In the States. However,
men can make lot Of money there
now just growing wheat, and 1t is this
fact that is the magnet which is at
tracing the farmers of the corn belt.

COOP AND pooR POTATOES.

We are asked what the conditions
should be in order to produce a fine
potato-a well favored, mealy tuber
The variety Of potato has much to do
with this proposition, the nature Of
the soil in which it is grown still more,
while the weather conditions material
ly change the quality. 1t may be said
that all kinds of potatoes which nat
urally grow to a large size are of
coarse texture and low grade, quite apt
to be hollow at the core and watery;
then all early maturing varieties are
as a rule poor keepers and soon lose
their mealiness and high quality. Pota
toes OF any kind only scantily covered
with earth and more or less exposed to
the intense heat Of the summer sun
and more or less light are always Of
low grade. A very wet season lowers
the grade if it does not injure the crop
by rot. 1t may be said that sandy
soils are always better for the potato
than muck or clay soils, the finest po-
tatoes in the country being produced
on the thin pine wood soils of upper
Michigan and Wisconsin. The potato
demands good supply of humus in
the soil; thus we find newly cleared
timber land or clover sod the best
location for this crop. 1t also thrives
greatly under the irrigation systems Of
the far west

A GREAT WASTE.

The waste associated with the corn
stalks all over the corn growing sec
ton Is something enormous, probably
the biggest agricultural waste to be
found in the whole country. Only a
very small per cent Of the stalks are
utilized as fodder save as the stock
run through the fields during the fall
and winter and, with little benefit to
the cattle, fill themselves with the dry
and withered husks. Not less than %
per cent of the food value Of the corn
plant is thus entirely wasted. There
Is no manufacturing business In all the
country which would stand this sort Of
loss for a minute or even one-tenth
Of 1t. Men say 1t does not pay to put
corn in the silo or cut 1t up for winter
feed because they have SO much hay.
The question is why they devote so
many acres to the production Of hay
when the cornfield offers the best pos
sible substitute for 1t. Utilizing the
corn fodder releases just SO many acres
of hay land and to all intents and pur-
poses thus increases the acreage Of q
mans farm. High priced corn land Is
going to compel change. The stalks
will either be utilized as winter fodder
for the stock or some method will be
devised TO use them for their value In
the making Of paper.

MINING THE SOIL.

A gentleman from abroad interested
In agriculture very APPLY referred to
the common methods of farming in this
country as mining the SOIL" Mining
implies removing the valuable things
from the soil and leaving nothing in
their place, such kind Of farming as
makes the land grow constantly poorer.
This thing is the bane of western agri-
culture particularly, it being practiced
under the foolish delusion that western
soils are so fertile that nothing can
ever wear them out. Evidences Of soil
depletion are now met with on every
hand, for the growing crops indicate
that the soil they grow in is starved
and hungry. Such methods of farming
would not be permitted for a moment
in any of the European countries, for
had they been followed such countries
would long ago have been depopulated,
the people starved off from the land.
In those countries today as much at
tention is paid to properly feeding the
soil as any of the animals on the farm.
Rotation crops, the extensive use of
the legumes, the continuous applica-
ton of fertilizers to the land and the
keeping Of as large an amount of stock
as possible on the farm are a part Of
the ten commandments in foreign agri-
culture, and we will have to come to
the same method If we ever conserve
and increase the fertility of our soils,
no matter how rich they may have
been in their virgin state. The tenant
system here is altogether bad, the one
year rental scheme being soil robber
Of the first order. Continued grain rails
ing and grain selling is another, and
the utter failure to grow clover on so
many farms insures continuing de-
pletion Of all soil fertility.

Three wet seasons - that Is, three
years In ucceesion--bringing to the
northwest and west large volume Of
rainfall during the crop season, to the
detriment Of the crops In the grain
growing sections Of that territory, have
very naturally resulted in giving the
so called semiarid sections west Of 1t
a sufficient rainfall to insure exception
ally fine crops, with the result that
there has been a great boom in these
lands In the dry sections for farm pur-
poses, the condition Of the grasses and
crops there grown being such as to de-
Jude men into buying such lands at
good prices. There is going to be trou-

1t is quite an element of success for
a farmer to adopt some fixed general
then stick to it. 1t may be the dairy
or beef making, the keeping Of sheep
or the raising of horses. The work of
the farm should be planned to con-
verge around this principal business,
whatever it may be, and it should not
be abandoned just because it does not
pay for time. 1t is the sticking to it
