Agriculture a Skilled Occupation.

NSIIIuiluIS a SN'''SN 0SSSS
That agriculture would ever be-
come a skilled occupation was not
thought of in past centuries when any
slave however unintelligent was
thought skilled enough to do the work
connected with the care of farm ami
mails and the production OF crops.
But the same has been true with all
other lines of human effort. House
building was once the work Of the
merest savage, but house building is
now a science. Agriculture has been
slowly developing into a learned
science under changed conditions.
When land was worth nothing, any
Indian squaw was a good farmer,
for the demands on the land were
slight. What the land did not pro-
duce was made up for by the living
things in the streams, the woods and
the air. But since man has so in
creased on the earth that he can no
longer live by hunting and fishing, the
land is laid under toll to produce a
living. The successful farmer of the
future must be as skilled and intelli.
gent as the successful civil engineer
of the present day.

Ask Your Neiuhbors.

Gelatt, Pa, Nov. 6th.-(Special)--
Mrs. H. W. Stems, a we'll respected
resident of Gelatt, tells in convincing
words what Dodd's Kidney Pills have
done for her. She says:
II was a great sufferer from Rheu-
matism, caused through my Kidneys
being out of order. I was subject to
it for years. 1t would take me with
out warning, and while the attack
lasted I was so lame I could not get
around. So l had to send for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l took them for three
days, but didn't feel much benefit. but
on the fourth day I noticed a great
change, the lameness in my back was
gone, and the pains l used to suffer
were less. 1 kept on with Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills and now l am glad to say
l have no lameness o pain Of any
kind. l feel as if l didn't know what
Rheumatism was. I shall never be
without Dodd's Kidney Pills in the
house and I bless the day I first heard
Of them"

Start Small.

No matter how long a person has
lived on a farm and been accustomed
to the presence of fowls, he should
start small if he expects to go into the
business of poultry raising. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that merely having
hens about gives information on how
to car for them when operations are
to be Of IN intensive nature. On most
farms few fowls are kept-ffty to one
hundred-and the fowls about take
care of themselves. That number of
fowls, permitted to enjoy the freedom
of the farm, have every chance to
prove a success. The farmer does not
have to solve many of the problems
that the man has to solve that. goes
into the business Of poultry raising
and keeps from one thousand to five
thousand fowls of all kinds. There
fore, the farm boy or the farm girl
looking forward to a career as a poul-
try raiser has not really had the ex-
perience that would justify making
large investments at first. In most
cases the novice should start with a
few hundred fowls. The second year
the number may be increased by a
few hundred, and not till the third
year should the poultry raiser be able
to count his birds by the thousands.
The man that starts large and sticks
to the business will succeed in the
end, but he will have paid heavily for
his lessons. The person that starts
small will have disastrous experiences.
but they will cost him little.

Warmed Houses.

AS a general thing, it does not
pay to warm the houses in which
hens are kept in this country,
except possibly in the coolest parts
of the Dakotas. There was a
time when it was generally con
ceded that there should be stoves in
poultry houses. This vas based on
pure theory that domestic fowls, at
least hens, came from countries tropi-
cal or sub-tropical in temperature, and
had, therefore, to be given the same
amount of heat they had in their nat
ural habitats. But experiments worked
out far otherwise, and it was demon
strated that the hen was not neces-
sarily subjected to tropical conditions,
if proper food were given. We know
of no experiments that have been
properly conducted that have shown a
heating stove in the poultry house to
be profitable.

Keeping At 1t.

nave a neighbor-a lady-who sew
eral years ago became enthusiastic in
the matter of poultry raising. Her
husband was engaged in business. and
she wanted to be engaged in business,
too. So she built a fine poultry house
and, IN addition, a brooder house. the
two structures costing a thousand dol-S
lars or more. She fondly expected to
make a great deal of money cut of
broilers. But her first year was disas.

infertile, and she lost a good many
chicks that did hatch. She was so.
pressed to get broilers to help out on
her expenses that she sold all of tie
young chicks, and the next year had
nothing but old hens to depend on.
AS they did not begin to lay till late
in the spring, she had no eggs for her
brooder operations, and the next year
her great brooder house was idle. She
gave up, and figured that she had lost
the money invested in the buildings.
But during the next half year or
more she thought over the matter a
good deal and finally got her courage
up again. l was surprised when she
again went into the raising of poul-
try on a large scale and started her
incubators with full compliments of
eggs. Last winter she raised and sold
nearly n thousand broilers, and l
know that some of these that weighed
not more than a pound brought as high
as 80 cents each from private Gus
toners. In addition, she carried over
a good lot of chicks for fall layers.
Her line of customers has so increased
that she has started a wagon out
through the country and is buying up
all the eggs and chickens within a con
siderable distance from her place.
These she sells to her customers. All
eggs that she buys are candled care
fully before they are sent out, and her
customers know that they never get
a poor egg from her. Now she has
several i%ncubators ready to fill and
tells me that she intends buying sew.

She does not start her i%ncubators in

late winter market is no longer a goo6

Pushing Grain Growing North.

How far north grain will yet be
grown only the future can decide.
That it will be grown much further
north than at the present time no one
can doubt. Already oats and barley
are being grown three hundred miles
north of the Canadian line. New
wheats, barleys and oats, with shorter
growing seasons, are being developed,
and the difference of a few days in
maturing mean a difference of many
tens of miles in the northern limits
within which they may be grown,
This means the opening up Of new
regions and virgin soil for the produc'
ton of grain.

peep Preparation Of Land.

1t pays to plow the land deep for any
kind of fruit before the plants that are
to bear that fruit are set out. On land
that has never been plowed deeply, the
roots of plants hold close to the sur
face. Perhaps they get enough food
in this way; but it is much to their
detriment in dry seasons at least, and
the roots near the surface interfere
with the after cultivation of the
ground. A mellow soil invites the
roots to strike deep instead of running
along the surface of the ground.

Use Of Fertjlizers Increasinq.

Use OF TCTItIIZCTS IJISICoostiSs
The use of commercial fertilizers In
the United States has been growing
since prior to the census of 1850. That
was the first census that gave any in
formation on commercial fertilizers.
In the census year Greatly 1859 there
were manufactured fertilizers to the
value of $~891,344. Ten years later the
value was $~5,815,118, and ten years
after that it was $23, 650,795. In the
latter year, however, the farmers used
more than were manufactured in this
country by about 5000, 900, the total
sum paid for fertilizers by farmers
that year being S2S,586,39 In the
census of 1890 the amount of money
spent by farmers for fertilizers during
the census year (1SS9) was $3S,469,59S.
Ten years later the amount spent for
fertilizers by farmers was ~$54,783,757.
OF this large total over 70 per cent
was spent within a strip Of territory
about three hundred miles wide run
ming north and south along the Allan
tic seaboard. This comprises the older
lands Of the country, which were large
ly exhausted by bad methods of farm
ing. This territory comprises quite
fully the original thirteen states.

The Time to plan.

The time to plan farm work is sew
eral months ahead of each crop that
Is to be grown. The lack of planning
IS responsible for many Of the failures
in farming. If the planning is done
too near the time of planting a crop,
it will be found that something is in
the way, that something has been over
looked. Thus, in the purchase of seed
for the corn, wheat, oats and other
grain crops of next year it will not dc
to wait till midwinter before laying
all plans. If seed is to be purchased
from a distance it is not always easy
to get it, when the scotsman must
send it out in company with a great
multitude of other orders. 1t is neces-
sary to send in the orders early, so
That the seed may be received early
n the farmer have time to make
termination tests to ascertain if the
seed is up to the required standard in
germinability. If it is not, the farmer
may have to send to another place for
seed. which will in turn have to be

localities the practice is general of

sirable conditions have gone. 1t must

In large establishments in the city,

lutely necessary in some enterprises.
