BUSINESS ON THE FARM.

In any we'll conducted manufacturing
establishment the question Of cost Of
production is very closely studied, and
no means are left untried to reduce
this cost Of production to the lowest
possible limit II machine will do
the work Of a man, and, besides, do it
better, out goes the man, no matter
what may be the cost Of the machine,
and II new machine will do the work
cheaper than the old one, out goes the
old one. We note that there is very
little Of this thing to be seen on our
farms, where the cost Of producing
farm crops and meats is seldom seri-
ously considered. In fact, but few
farmers really know what 1t costs to
produce a bushel Of corn, a pound Of
butter, beef or pork. II at the end Of
the year they have a little money
which no one has claim on, they fig
ure they are that much ahead. More
than this they cannot tell to save
their lives about their business. It
would be we'll to make farming more
Of q business proposition.

THE DAIRY COW.

While the cow will do something for
any farm where she is kept only as q
sort of side issue, just as poultry Is
kept, she will do twice as much on
that farm where the dairy Is made the
principal and leading interest of the
farm, for then there will be the silo,
the better selected type Of cow, care

the dairy ration and that care in feed
ing and milking SO essential to the best
results. This fact Is illustrated very
plainly in all sections, the small dairy
which receives no special care giving
q butter product Of about 165 pounds
per cow per year, while from those
dairies where the COWS are cared for
scientifically the butter product is easi-
b double.

The new method Of working the earth
roads, recently referred to at length In
these notes, is being generally intro
duced and with the most remarkable
success. Wherever tried the plan is
most highly commended as being
cheap, easy Of operation, most adapta-
BILE wherever the roads are made Of the
worst material and most effective In
every way in the reconstruction of
what has been bad road into what all
admit to be a good one. Many cities
and towns are adopting the plan for
the care Of all unpaved streets and are
working wonders. The writer's expert
ence with this method Of caring for the
earth roads lis such that we cannot too
strongly urge upon township and mu-
nicipal officials the benefit to be derived
from its adoption. The poll taxes Of
the average township are sufficient In
amount year by year to fully cover the
cost Of the care of the highways by this
plan, leaving all the regular taxes lev
led and collected to be applied to the
building Of bridges and culverts and
such heavy cutting and filing as the
roads Of the city or township may re-
quire- We can easily see that the rate
Of taxation may be materially reduced
IN the near future, and we still have q
type Of earth roads Of such excellence
- was never thought to be possible.

FAIR PRICES.

1ne question Is, what are falr prices
for farm products and bow cheap
should a farmer be able to buy the
commodities which he needs? Taking
it today at the primary markets, hogs
are worth about 5 cents per pound;
beef, to 6 cents; b1tter. q cents;
eggs, Is cents; corn, 45 cents per
bushel; oats, 80 cents; bay. S. per ton.
These commodities produced on land
Of an average value Of say $40 per
acre, the farmer pays hand $25 per
month, buys mower for $37. q
harvester for $40, a wagon for $50, a
buggy for $40, gets fence wire for
cents pound and twine for 10 cents,
pays to 5 per cent interest for money
he borrows, and we most seriously
question if in all the country's history
there has ever been a time when the
values of commodities were more near
ly balanced, or time when farming
as business was q better all round
proposition Still there are some men
who would like to sell corn for 81
bushel, buy nails at a cent
pound, and get hired man for 50
a month, and so they keep an ever
lasting howl going up at government
and the existing order Of things.

WASTE ACRES.

IRese ID very large acreage OF the
best land In the northwest tied up and
1T present entirely unproductive along
the rights Of way Of the railroads. In
fact, it IS worse than unproductive, as
Is big item of expense to the railway
companies. We have always believed
that in time, when the roads got on q
better financial footing. efforts would
be made to improve these rights Of
way and at least render them attrac-
tive If not remunerative. Some Of the
roads have commenced work along
this line, one Of the big companies Of
the west having commenced a system
Of leasing such rights of way to farm
ers owning adjoining land at nomf
nal rental. the conditions being that the
land Is to be plowed and seeded down
to tame grasses and be moved and
kept trimmed up. Something Of the
same sort should be done with the
wagon roads. AS 1t is now, with the
four rod road in common use, there Is
similar and far more extensive waste
Of good soil. We can see no good rea-
son why, after the road is properly
graded to a width of thirty or forty
feet, the rest Of the highway should
not pass under the control Of the ad
jacent land owner to be cultivated as a
part Of his field. This plan has been
adopted in a few localities with the
best results. Waste acres are made
thereby productive and the appearance
Of the highway and the adjoining farms
is immensely improved. The progress
of the country in the coming years Is
going to lie along just such line@the
utilization Of waste resources.
