The bottom of the chopper is made of

strip on the outer edge. The two

DRAINING LANDS.
Much Rich Land Goes to Waste Be-
cause This Work Is Not Done.

Many undrained and Improbable
lands can be drained well, or at least
considerably improved, should you
only spend a days work in scraping,
out bitches, with an ordinary two
horse scraper. Some of the bitches
need not necessarily be wide nor
deep.
1t has been estimated that from
one to thirty per cent of certain Sec
tions Of good farming lands in some
sections of the Northwest need drain
Ing. Some Of this undrained land Is
reasonably productive in growing
slough grass. which In many cases
serves as feed for cattle In the win
ter, but a large fraction of these
lands lie idle and are hotbeds for the
propagation of weeds and undesirable
Insects.
The soil in sloughs and small
swamps is usually fertile and rich
In plant food, due largely to the de-
cay Of plant life. which has been &C,
cumulating there year after year. IT
Is this land that should be brought
into condition for the growing of
crops. 1t will support plant growth
better than the adjoining higher lands
whose fertility has been considerably
depleted by constant cropping. When
drained we'll these lands make ad-r
mirable fields for grasses, such as
timothy and millet grass. also fod-
der corn. There is 10 work Of this
kind done if done at proper time and
place but what will easily pay for the
expense in the raising Of the first
few crops from lands.-J. F. Volta,
professor Of agriculture, Gustavous

BIG OR LITTLE FARMS.
The Size Depends on Location Writes
an Iowa Farmer.

Whether a man should have a big
or n little farm depends on his loca-
ton. In this part of Iowa. writes
Clarke county farmer In Farmers Re-
view. we must depend on the moro ex.
tensive methods of agriculture to give
us living. A man that has a farm
of only so acres or 120 acres will
have hard chance to make a living.
He needs at least 160 acres, and If he
has 800 acres he will be still more
fortunate.
1t must be remembered that II takes
q good deal of land to produce paying
crops of corn, wheat and other cereals.
II a man raises cattle he must have
a large part of his farm in pasture.
II he has but so acres and there
comes a wet year or n very dry year,
either of which will cut short his
crops, where is he? But even then, II
he has 100 acres he will be able to
produce enough to meet his obliga
tions.
The S0-acre farm is all right near
good-sized city, where truck farming
can be followed largely enough TO in
sure the farmer living. He can then
constantly get manure for use on his
farm. But in the country away from
the large cities it is far otherwise.
