A WAsTEFuL SYSTEM.

The time is fast approaching IL not
already here when all landowners liv-
ing west of the Mississippi will be com
PEELED by very force of circumstances
as those have In the east, to abandon
the quite prevalent wasteful and shift
less method Of using one plot of ground
for meadow and second for corn,
with little effort made to save the
enormous amount Of valuable fodder
that could, with care, be secured from
the latter field. True, the clover mea-
dow, properly rotated with other crops,
should be a factor In the agricultural
operations Of every intelligent farmer
but its purpose should be secondary
that Of restoring the fertility Of the soil
and not primary, for the sake Of the
crop Of roughage which it will pro-
duce. The advance in price of land
and the accompanying increase In
rental values renders necessary q
change In methods which will stop the
enormous waste of the present system.
There are two ways out of the dilemma
"a cutting Of the corn at time which
will insure the largest returns in grain
and fodder and shredding Of the prod
uct, or, secondly, the installation Of the
silo, which furnishes the simplest and
most satisfactory solution Of handling
the corn fodder problem.

A GOOD SHOWING WITH HOLsTEIND.
A reader of these notes who resides
in southern Minnesota writes US in
closing a statement of the receipts
from his herd of Holstein cows from
Jan. l. 1905, to Jan. !, 1905. He
mentions the prevailing dislike which
the average farmer entertains for the
dairy COW particularly, but considers
his showing so good that he sends it
with the request that we publish 1t,
which it is a pleasure to do. The gen.
tleman is an enthusiastic supporter Of
the Holstein breed Of cattle and be-
lieves they take the lead over other
breeds as money makers and all round
purpose animals. A year ago the herd
in question numbered thirteen mixers,
and the LIST of July these were aug
mented by the addition Of two young
heifers. The books Of the creamery
show the following yield from the ami
mails during the year:

JUST A BIT OF SENTIMENT.

A case which came under our notice
the other day nicely illustrates how
prevalent is the tendency to sacrifice
the beautiful to the material and con-
tentment to cold cash. A hard work
ing and successful farmer was busily
engaged in cutting down row of
thrifty and beautiful black cherry trees
that skirted his field on the north when
his neighbor mildly protested, claiming
that the trees were real ornament to
his farm, furnished shade for beast and
shelter for the birds Of the air. The
former replied, well, l guess they
don't do anybody any good If they are
left standing and will make good stove
wool il cut them down." which was
quite characteristic of the man and
typifies view Of life that is all too
common and needs no encouragement.
There is altogether too little sentiment
in our lives at best, and what we do
possess, rather than be stifled by too
practical and unitarian conception of
existence, should be cultivated and de-
veloped so far as in our power lies.
The materialist sees in the tree not
symmetry and the working out of mar
velous natural laws, but so many feet
of lumber or cords of wood; sees in the
summer cloud not the majesty of Gods
power, marvellous cloud forms and fri
descent rainbows, but merely water for
his fields, begrudges the space devoted
to lawn and flowers about the home
stead and would rather see in their
place pig pen or potato patch. The
materialist needs reforming and to be
brought to the place where he can real
lie that birds and trees and flowers
and the wonders of the sunrise and
sunset have mission to perform for
humanity even though their value can
not SO readily be expressed In terms
of dollars and cents.

Figuring upon fifteen cows MIXED
during the year and not considering
that two of these were MIXED only
half the year, the average number of
pounds of milk received from each
cow for the twelve months was 6,S15,
bringing $59.52 in cash at the cream
cry. Our correspondent states that he
gets from $40 to $15 per head for
calves at three months, while $50 is
the price from this age up to a year.
The showing made is an excellent one
and should serve to influence a num-
Der to change from a quite general

There was once a man who ran a

ly decided that he would sell his gro
Gerry business and invest all the pro-
ceeds In poultry raising. His plan was
to buy all the eggs his neighbors had
to sell and turn them into chickens by
the incubator method, thinking thereby
to arrive at state Of wealth In short
order. Never having had any expert
ence with the chicken business he went
the way you might expect-through the

The farmer who worries because he
