PROFITS OF ORANGE GROWING.

Many people in the east and central
western states have a vague sort of an
idea that there is great money in the
California orange business and would
il they could HE them there and find
life one long day of golden prosperity
and Italian sunshine. Here are few
facts which one such dreamer forged
out Of his experience. He writes us
that last spring he sold SS1 boxes of
the choicest navel oranges, which net
ted him only $44.Sl that he sold all
told last season 1,466 boxes, which
brought hen an average Of only IL
cents box; that during the past three
years he has sold 1916 boxes, for which
he has received $342 81, or less than
cents box. AS 1t costs about 10 cents

THE FARMERS FRIENDS.

We were asked the other day why 1t
was that people in other lines of bust
ness took so much interest in the farm
er and his fortunes; why he was made
the object of so much solicitude and
the subject of so much often unwar-
ranted advice. Nobody takes any in
terest in the merchant. commission
man, land agent, preacher or teacher.
but there is no end to the number OF
people who know nothing about farm
ing who feel called upon to advise the
farmer when to wean his calves and
plant his potatoes and sell his grain.
We think it is accounted for partly on
the ground that the farm and the farm
er are the handspring Of all CONNER
cial prosperity. the only real creators
Of new wealth, all the other fellows be-
ing mere traders and manipulators Of
wealth which comes from the SOIL
Thus these people are naturally inter-
ested i'm the farm, knowing that agri-
cultural prosperity means prosperity
all along the line.

With the introduction of modern
labor saving machinery, such as the
riding plow, the complicated self
binder the separator, the gasoline
engine. etc, the old conception of the
farmer as n simple tiller of the soil.
such as Is so eloquently pictured by our
poets and authors, must pass away, for
the successful farmer of this age is
anything but simple In his ideas. He
must be mechanic of no small ability
and a farsighted manager. With the
modern system of marketing stock and
grain must come Il clear grasp of bust
ness methods and an intelligent knowl-
edge of current events. In short, farm
ing as profession has passed entirely
from that stage where its followers can
be recruited from the ranks Of those
who have failed in dozen other call
ings and are ready to turn to the filling
OF the soil as last resort He who
makes a success of modern farming
may take his place among the success
full ones In any Of life's numerous call.

The Introduction of the farm sepa-
rator is working out complete revolu-
ton i'm the creamery and dairy bust
ness all through the west. With the
farm separator it is easily possible to
secure high grade of cream from the
average farm, something which is not
always or even generally possible
where the cream is raised by the gray
ity process. The new method has made
unnecessary the organized creamery
company and the erection Of an expen-
sive plant and made possible the TAX
ing up Of the dairy business by any
man anywhere who is Uithin reach of
depot or a cream receiving station.
The shipment of cream by express to
the city creameries has become one Of
the big lines of business and is grow
ing every day. This Is probably true.
However, the butter product Of such Il
creamery is not of quite so high a
grade as where the milk is delivered
at locA creamery and separated, but
because of the plan being so very
adaptable in its workings to so large
a number Of people it has evidently
come to stay.

Corn and alfalfa make the best com

country. Heretofore it has been as
sumed that only in a very limited area
OF the country could these two crops
be grown on the same farm, but it is

The question of vigor i'm seed corn Is
a matter to which little attention has
been paid, while as a matter Of fact it
is of just as much Importance as is the
same quality i'm the breeding of our do
nestle animals. There is lots of seed
corn which will terminate, but which
is SO lacking in strength and vigor that
it can never under any circumstances
make a healthy and productive stalk
of corn. Such seed produces those
stalks which never mature an ear of
corn and which are as matter of fact
the worst weeds in the cornfield, for
they rob the more vigorous stalks Of
moisture, light, fertility and sunshine
and besides scatter lot of their
worthless pollen to further degrade the
field. Seed corn which can only just
barely make live of it is even worse
than that which will not terminate at
all.

The English farmer fares rather
hardly in many ways compared to his
American brother. for he is held up for
some tax or other at every turn. He
must consult the excise officers to get
permission to keep sheep dog. If he
has gun he must put up $3.50
license. and il perchance he desires to
trap a rabbit or a weasel which is eat
ing up his chickens he must put up
S3.16 more for trap license. If he
keeps gasoline engine or traction en-
CINE to do his work he must pay a
license of $50, and If he wants to kill
a pheasant or partridge which he has
raised on his farm he must pay tax
of SO for game license. The selling
of milk to town patrons calls for a
further tax, and the killing of a critter
on his place makes necessary a slaugh-
ter house license. This and nVlch more
is your English farmer subjected TO, so
bear it in mind and do not kick on
nominal road tax.

Now that the crop season Of 1905 is
over it will be a good idea to look over
the years experiences and see where
the mistakes were made. Perhaps it
will be found not enough care was TAX
en- to secure good seed corn, and the
-cornfeld shows only a 60 per cent stand
when it should show up So or 90. Per-
haps the sod land upon which it was
planted was not plowed at the right
time and the cutworms thinned out
the crop. Perhaps it was corn after
corn for too many years and the root
worm got in its work. Perhaps it was
cutting the clover hay crop too late and
SO losing i'm two ways-getting poor
Quality of hay and spelling second crop.
Perhaps it was in trying to work too
many acres; more likely to be this than
anything else. Anyhow, it will not be
hard to look back and see where one
might have done better. The wise man
will do this and profit by his mistakes.
