The question of fall blowing Is a de-
batable one in the minds of most farm
ers. The practice seems to grow more
common upon trial in some neighbOr-
hoods and to fall into almost total dis
favor in other sections. Upon the roll
Ing lands which are so common there
Is little question that it is Justly con-
demned, If, indeed, it is good practice
anywhere, says an exchange. Some loss
OF plant food from washing and blow
Ing of the surface soil upon fall-plowed
ground is inevitable, although its me-
chanical condition may be improved
somewhat by the action Of the frost
upon the freshly plowed ground. Of
course, the condition Of the labor mar
ket affects the amount Of fall blowing
undertaken or accomplished to a very
degree, but Independently
OF any and all Of the factors mention
ed, fan blowing may be expedient ID
some cases. The writer has done very
little fall blowing during recent years,
but this year the plow will be kept go
ing as long as the weather WALL permit
after the crops are all secured

Value Of a Good Cow.

What are the cows worth that pro-
duce 400 pounds Of butter per annum 7
Here l am going to make a statement
and undertake to prove it correct, says
writer in Successful Farming. When
COW that produces 200 pounds Of but
ter per annum at a food cost of 500
and labor cost of $3.50 Is worth $35,
the COW that produces 400 pounds Of
butter annually is worth $500, and the
owner can make net $16 more from her
after paying interest on the $500 than
he can from the cows that produce 200
pounds of butter. There is no more
labor connected with the 400-pound
cows than there is with the 20O-pou1d
cows The price at which butter has
been credited, namely, 20 cents pound,
Is the net price from the creamery after
the making has been paid for. In this
herd the Increased cost Of feed for the
4OO-pound cows was more than offset
by the increased amount Of skim milk,
so we have the 200 pounds increase of
butter as net profit over the 200-pound
COW. Two hundred pounds of butter at
20 cents Is $40. We have $500 invested
in these cows, which at per cent in
terest Is $24, which we will deduct
from the $40, and we have left SIC to
the credit of the 400-pound COW.

the Assembly. have made them double
their offer to me, but in the public docu-
ments the money is to stand at the orig
inal figure. This recognition of my SER
vices, together with my little savings. will
make me pretty comfortable in my old
age, and leave a competence for my
widow. Aureataland has had a run
alone; if there had been any grit in the
people they would have made a nation of
themselves. There isn't any, and I'm not
going to slave myself for them any longer.
No doubt they'll be very well treated, and
to tell the truth, l don't much care if
they aren't. After all, they're a mongrel
lot.
II know you'll be pleased to hear of
this arrangement, as it gives your old
masters a better chance of getting their
money, for, between ourselves, they'd new
er have got it out of me. At the risk
of shocking your feelings, l must confess
that your revolution only postponed the
day of reputation.
II hoped to have asked you some day
to rejoin US here. AS matters stand, l
am more likely to come and find you; for,
when released, Christina and are going
to bend our steps to the States. And we
hope to come soon. There's a little diff
Guilty outstanding about the terms on
which the Golden House and my other
property are to pass to the new govern
ment; this l hope to compromise by abat-
ing half my claim in private, and giving
1t all up in public. Also l have had to
bargain for the recognition of Johnny
Carr's rights to the Colonels goods. When
all this is settled there will be nothing to
keep me, and 1 shall leave here without
much reluctance. The first man l shall
come to see will be you. The truth is,
my boy, I'm not the man was. I've put
too much steam on all my life, and must
pull up now, or the boiler will burst.
Christina sends her love. She Is as
anxious to see you as l am. But you
must wait till l am dead to make love to
her. Ever your sincere friend,
MARCUS W. WHITINGHAM."
As 1 write, l hear that the arrange
ment is to be carried out. So ends Au-
reataland's brief history as a nation; so
ends the story of her national debt, more
happily than 1 ever thought it would.
confess to a tender recollection of the
sunny, cheerful, lazy, dishonest little
place, where 1 spent four such eventful
years. Perhaps 1 love it because my ro-
nance was played there, as should love
any place where had seen the SignOrina.

With the passing years there seems
to be a more imperative necessity FOR
impressing the fact upon the apple
growers that they must have a clearer
conception Of higher ideals. No matter
how abundant or cheap the prices Of
apples may be in the market, there is
always the unbounded assurance that
hrst-class, fancy apples Will bring the
best Of prices, and there is no danger
whatever Of Overstocking the market

better. For several years Western
lambs weighing from 90 to 60 pounds

sell for almost twice as much. As a
