HIS SYSTEM or RENTING.

A query sent the writer from a New
Jersey reader asking for the method
OF renting followed by the up to date
landlord, who was compared with the
unprogressive, old fogy type IN a re-
cent issue of this department. leads us
TO believe that the system which the
progressive landlord follows may be of
interest to other readers of the depart
ment. The landlord we had in mind
IN the article above referred to has two
line farms, and the system which he
IS at present following has been in
vogue for twenty years. In a general
way he rents on half shares, but with
exceptions and qualifications. The ten
ant buys a half interest in all stock on
the farm except work horses, which he
furnishes himself as is also the case
with the machinery and implements
which are used in the farm operations.
Inc cost of the seed oats and corn and
all other seed used on the farm is
shared equally except timothy and clo-
yer seed, which the landlord pays for.
Proceeds from all stock, hay and grain
sold from the farm are divided equal.
ly, while all stock on the farm, includ-
Ing the work horses, are fed from the
undivided hay and grain. The land
lord shares with the tenant machine
bill expense, while the latter buys the
Irvine and pays for the help and teams.
Our friend tells us that he has found
this system entirely satisfactory from
his standpoint as a landlord, and he
believes his tenants have found it
equally SO. Under this system he has
been able to secure hardWorking, en-
ergetic tenants, who take pride in their
work and feel an interest in improve
ments, methods of crop rotation and
other undertakings which may extend
through two or three years. One or
two points in the above plan are wor-
thy of especial emphasis. One and
very important is that which tends to
encourage the raising of stock, which
is really the only sensible system to be
Followed on an up to date farm. An
other which is to be commended is
that the tenant owns the machinery.
This tends to secure the best possible
care of it, which might not be given if
he did not own it. A third excellent
feature is that the landlord furnishes
the grass seed timothy and clover be-
ing most largely sown in the locality
this for the reason that a tenant does
not feel like paying for half or all of
the grass seed when particularly in the
case of the legumes the landlord will
receive more than half of the benefit
from it through the enriching of the
land. If the renter is a new man and
unknown he is given a lease of the
farm for year; if he makes good he
can stay as long as he wants to. One
tenant worked for our friend continu-
ously for sixteen years. The above
system of renting, described somewhat
fully, is not only good in theory, but
has been found to work out in practice
with entirely satisfactory results.

A slNGED RAT.

A friend who has seen the plan tried
and knows it works tells us that if the
hair of a live rat, which may be easily
caught in cage trap, is singed and
the rodent turned loose under the barn
or any other structure which rats may
frequent every one on the prem
ises will light out for other fields The
philosophy Of the evacuation of the
premises by the rats with this method
IS that they look upon their singed fell
low as conclusive evidence that fire
is imminent in the locality and that it
IS time for them to move. The method
mas one drawback, however, and that
IS 1t does not exterminate the p ,sts,
but simply drives them to the premises
or Neighbor Smith or Johnson.

ALFALFA AND PROSPERITY.

There is nothing that Secretary F.
D. Coburn Of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural society wakes more eloquent
over than the subject of alfalfa, and if
figures which he offers in a recent arti-
Gle prepared for publication may be
taken he certainly has cause for being
an alfalfa enthusiast. Mr.. Coburn is
authority for the statement that fifteen
years ago the state Of Kansas grew
1884 acres Of alfalfa, while in 1906
Jewell county alone had $4,000 acres
or the legume and the state grew 615,-
900 acres. Largely as a result of the
Introduction of alfalfa the states out
put Of tame hay has been quadrupled
In 1891 1t was 4O1,6 $40 tons, while in
1906 it was 1859, 500 tons and valued
at S10,E00,OO0. Secretary Coburn and
others in position to know state that
the prosperity of Kansas dates from
the time when alfalfa was introduced.
1t is positive agricultural misfortune
for other states that they do not seem
so well adapted to growing this splen-
did legume as the Sunfower State.

FICTITIOUS BUTTER QUOTATIONS

FICTITIOUS BUTTER QUOTATIONS
A case was recently decided in a
New York court which directly af-
fects the dairy interests of the whole
country. 1t was brought by Martin
q Bro. against the New York Mer-
camille Exchange to prevent the issu-
ance Of fictitious butter quotations,
which had afforded commission men
the opportunity of returning to the
creamery statement that their butter
had sold for a half cent above the
market price. From this on the actual
selling price only of butter will be
given, with the result that many
creameries which have heretofore
been receiving abo market price quo
tations will get all the way from 1 to
2 cents below. This will not mean
that the butter produced will not be
just as good as that made previously,
but that the standard has been raised
and that the butter does not make SO
good a showing by comparison.

The surface cultivator not only pro-
duces a condition of soil that is adj
vantageous for the growing corn, but
it's careful use means that the fields
will be comparatively free from weeds
during the growing season and at

source of convenience and satisfaction.

The chief disadvantage Of blue grass
sod in the orchard lies in the fact that
it not only pulls largely on the

earth from readily absorbing the rain

BILE for the nourishment of the root
systems of the trees.

There are communities in which the
degree Of agricultural prosperity which
has n attained is quite accurately
Indicated by the type of barn to be
found on the premises. If it is a 30
by 40 or 40 by so structure and neatly
painted it is quite safe to assume that
the owner has money in the bank and
Is about ready to begin figuring on
getting possession of the eighty which
joins his own. There are other COM
munities where the type of fences
built is more accurate gauge Of the
prosperity prevailing, while in others
1t may be the type of house.

In cases where wooden or other
shields cannot be readily obtained a
good way to protect the trunks Of
young orchard trees from rabbits and
mice is to rub them thoroughly from
ground to limbs with some good strong
soap. An occasional inspection will in

be repeated This is sometimes the
case as the result Of prolonged and
heavy rains
