TOO MANY ACRES.

A ride on the cars through almost
any section of the country forces the
conclusion that the chief trouble with
the type of farming which is being
quite generally followed is that land
owners are putting half as much labor
as they ought to on twice as much
land as they can work. In almost
every section is to be seen the pitiful
evidence that the land is being titled
in q slipshod and careless manner, evi-
denced by an omnipresent growth of
weeds and all too meager crop returns.
The tilling of too much land to handle
discourages the most profitable kind of
stock raising and dairying, increases
the problem of farm help in the house
and outside and makes q drudgery of
type of life that at it's best. with
modern conveniences and machinery.
ought not to be oppressive or unenjoy-
able. 1t is patent from more points of
view than one that the prosperity as
well as the peace of mind and happi
ness of large per cent of the agri-
cultural population in the United
States would be found in larger meas
ura than is true today were there q
better and more thorough working Of
fewer acres of land.

sEETs AND SOIL FERTILITY.

With a view to getting somewhat
definite information relative to the
amount of fertilizing elements removed
from the soil in the growing of ton
of beets, the writer recently made in
uuiry of the bureau Of plant industry
at Washington and received the desired
information from \. D McNair, expert
in charge of the farm management in
yestieations. The query was made to
ascertain the correctness or incorrect
ness of the claim made by the pro-
moters of a beet sugar factory to farm
ers who have been raising beets for
the concern that Il larger crop of corn
can be raised after beets-in other
words, that the growing Of the sugar
beet tends to enrich the soil. Mr.. Nc
Nair states that he has found from
his own experience that corn does not
do well after this crop though he is
not positive that other crops are in
jured thereby. He adds that pro-
moters of sugar beet factories some
times hold that sugar beets take moth
ing from the soil and try to justify
their arguments by stating that sugar
is made up of carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen--in vulgar parlance. wind and
water'-and as such it does not con-
tain any fertilizing ingredient. This
statement, true as far as it goes, over
looks the important fact that the pulp
residue or fibrous parts of the beet do
contain large quantities of fertilizing
materials. From the table which fol
lows, which gives the pounds Of fer
tilizing elements per ton of product, it
will be seen that, as compared with po-
tatoes, corn. silage, cabbage and tim
othy hay, beets do not pull very heavily
on the soil, yet the figures disprove the
statement that the growing Of beets
enricheS the soil:

DEATH IN cORNsTALKs.

Almost every fall reports are numer-
Gus Of the death Of catt.e shortly after
they have been turned into the corn
fields. While death in some of these
cases may be Que to the working of
an active poison which is not as yet
fully understood, il majority of
cases postmortem examination of
the affected animals would show that
death resulted from impaction of the
stomach and bowels. To guard against
this contingency the cattle should be
provided with an abundance of salt,
while they should have easy access to
all the water they can drink and even
be driven to the supply to make sure
that they get it. This will furnish the
system sufficient liquid to handle the
digested corn fodder, which is at best
dry and absorbs much moisture. Care
In this matter of providing an abun-
dance of salt and water will often pre-
vent serious loss.

AVERTED A DUEL.
The SOFT Answer That Was Returned
to the Challenge.

The SOFT Answer That Was Returned
to the Challenge.
Mrs. Minnie Walter Myers, in her
Romance and Realism of the South
ern Gulf Coast" gives an account of
one of the last challenges to a duel
which occurred in Louisiana. The af-
fair was between Nj. Marigny, who be-
longed to one of the oldest families of
Louisiana, and Mr.. Humble, sturdy
ex-blacksmith of Georgia, who had be-
come man of political consequence.
Mr.. Marigny took ofense at some re-
marks Of the Georgian and sent him a
challenge. The big ex-blacksmith was
nonplused.
81 know nothing about this dueling
business" he said. 81 will not fight
him"
"You must" said his friend. mo
gentleman can refuse
81 am not q gentleman" replied the
honest son of Georgia. 81 am only a
blacksmith
but you will be ruined if you do not
fight" urged his friends. ''You will
have the choice of weapons, and you
can choose so as to give yourself an
equal chance with your adversary"
The gia: ied time in which to
consider th .lestion and ended by ac-
cepting. He sent the following reply
to M. Marigny:
II accept, and in the exercise of my
privilege l stipulate that the duel shall
take place in Lake Pontchartrain, in
six feet of water, sledge hammers to
be used as weapons"
M. Marigny was about five feet
eight inches in height, and his adver-
sary was seven feet. The conceit of
the Georgian so pleased M. Marigny,
who could appreciate a joke as well as
perpetrate one, that he declared him.

place.

An interesting fact in connection
with frog life is that if frogs are
caught and put in boxes after they
have sought their winter hiding places
they will live for months without any

Quite often the success of the coun-
ty farmers institute depends as large
ly upon so conducting the discussions
as to draw out the definite, practical
experience of the farmers present OF
upon having lectures upon the differ
ent subjects by agricultural authori-
ties of note. 1t is well to emphasize
both features, but in no case should
the former be neglected. We have
known of instances where men were
present in the audience on such occa-
sions who were chock full of just the
information that was wanted on a
given subject, yet who, because Of
bashfulness or modesty. contributed
nothing to the discussion. On the 9th
er hand, had the officers of the in
stitute or the director asked the right
kind of questions and called upon
these men personally to reply the de-
sired information would have been
forthcoming and in form that all
present would have been able to COM
prehend. This Socratic method-the
eliciting of Information by questions
and answers-is always excellent, and
in no place is it more effective than in

The chief objection to be urged
against the fall setting of fruit trees
and shrubs seems to lie in the fact
that when done at this time of year
there is greater likelihood that the
root system will tend to dry out and
for this reason be less able to with
stand extremely low temperatures dur
ing the winter months.

A noteworthy fact which came un-
der the notice of an Iowa farmer who
recently Travelled some 200 miles in
Wisconsin was that he did not notice
a single field of corn in his trip which
had not been cut up for silage or dry
fodder. This state of affairs is trace
able to the fact that the price of Wis
consin lands is such that the owners
cannot afford to follow slipshod type
of agriculture and to the further fact
Tat majority of the farmers of the
state are dairymen and utilize the corn
plant as valuable ration for their

CREAMERY PROMOTERS.

Reports in the papers here and there
are to the effect that professional
creamery promoters are getting in their
work in some localities, with the result
that creamery companies just organiz-

not of the best type and poorly suited
to their needs. If a creamery is to be

better as we'll as more economical in

A fact that will be noted with much

A dispatch appearing in the uaily
papers under date of Oct Is tells of
an interesting jackrabbit drive which
took place in Antelope valley, near
Lancaster, Cal, a day or two before.
Five hundred men, women and chill
dren are said to have formed a mon
ster semicircle and driven 10000 jacks
into a wire corral half a mile in length
and triangular in shape, where they
were dispatched with clubs in fifty
seven minutes. The rabbits, which
had been increasing with great rapid

crops in the vicinity, and the drive
was adopted as a relief measure.

The temperature maintained in the
henhouse is not so important matter
as adjusting the ventilation so that no
direct drafts will blow on the hens
while they are at roost. Many who
have studied the question and tried
the plan recommend a burlap curtain
at the windows instead of glass. This
is justified on the ground that poultry
are more subject to disease from
breathing impure air in a poorly venti-
lated house than they are in quarters
which are properly ventilated though
much colder.

area of equal extent in the world.
Here farmers make a business of

where in the matter of field corn. The

hundredweight for it and in places
are erecting large cribs in order to
store it for higher prices
