Roughly speaking, land is intrinslcal-

as many dollars as it has the capacity
of producing bushels of corn per acre.
Circumstances may cause this rule to

applicable to all lands throughout the
central western states.

POSSIBILITIES OF A COUNTY FARM.

In years gone by the county poor
farm, as 1t Is commonly termed, has
been burden of expense on the coun
ty In which it was located, and he has
been considered an excellent manager
who could raise enough on the farm
to defray the cost of supporting the in
mates. A change is coming about,
however, and a number of such farms
now show q cash balance at the end of
the year. A plan having this object
In view worked out nicely in the FOL
lowing instance: The board of super
visors of nearby county decided fiva
years ago to buy some blooded stot k
for the county farm and invested ST.
300 for that purpose. Since that time
$1,000 worth of stock has beeL sold,
with a profit to the county of $1,000,
while that on hand is valued at more
than the original investment. 1t was
no more trouble to raise blooded stock
than scrub, while the returns were de-
cidedly larger. The idea is gaining
ground that the county farm might be
turned into sort of county expert
ment station, where not only blohded
stock, but the best in grains and grass
es, could be produced, the results
achieved being Of practical benefit to
every agriculturist In the county.
