The Modern Farm.

The wonderful success in wheat production IN
Canada has established some farm units
which, so far as area is concerned, are OF surprls-
inc magnitude. The standard farm has it's least
at a quarter of a section, or l6O acres. OF
land and the full hedged farm would stand at a
whole section, or GAO acres. One man with four
horses can handle the 100 acre farm without any
hired help. The farmer and his son OF some mod
crate size. or with hired man, can handle a half
section. or 800 acres with eight horses, and with
an additional hired man or two, bring the entire
section under control. Steam plows are beng
sold in that country by the hundred and the same
traction engine that would draw the steam ploWs
through the land would answer as the motive
power for threshing the grain crop when har-
vested and. at times, for drawing a number OF
loaded wagons to the nearest elevator, where
wheat was bought or received. The unit OF lou
acres per man and four horses is sometimes ex-
ceeded and we were told in Canada that a good
man with four horses could successfully cultivate
200 acres and that in good seasons the results IN
the way of profit were sometimes marvellous.
The picture, however, has another side and some
times the results are not nearly so satisfactory, as
droughts, or floods, late frosts and early freezes,
oil combine to defeat the farmers purposes, be his
plans the best laid possible.
We are led to consider these large units in
farming by the smallness Of the sugar planters
unit in Louisiana, where a man and a mule Tor
every ten acres seems to be the imperative meas
ure, Notwithstanding the use of many new agri-
cultural implements, and a plantation with 5O
acres in cane and corn needs fifty mules, or
twenty-five two mule teams and the necessary
men to drive them, and ought to have twenty-five
hoe hands available, apart from the use of some OF
the teams for handling horse hoes.
The Texas Farm and Ranch, in a recent ISSUE
refers to the fact that the farmers of the South
west almost always attempt to farm too great al
area Of land to obtain the best results and gives
the illustration of a Texas farmer and his three
IONS who now have more than they can do on al
Arkansas hill farm Of forty acres. Many farm
surrounding this forty-acre farm use less labor pc
acre. but there are none which produce so muc
profit per acre, nor so we'll kept and whose pre-
ductive capacity is greater each succeeding year
all these.5eing the results of the better method
used in farming. 1t is stated that the success Q
this one fanner in his immediate locality has &C
yanced the. value Of lands tvere from $$S5 up
s1OO an acre. The South is the land of lare
farms and plantations. Years ago the Northwes
ern part of the federal union was the land of con
paratively small fagms and a farm Of 300 acre

Truck Growers Organizations.

'lTu(k OIOWCTS OIxdlllZdlIOI1o'
The organization of truck growers in this state
seems to be one of the essential factors in making
the business a success. 1t is very important that
information should be had daily as to the condition
of the Western markets at the times OF active
shipments of garden truck and it is very lmpor-
tant that all the material going forward should go
forward in carload lots and the more pershable
material. in refrigerator cars and always at the
lowest rates that can be made. Tn; organization
can arrange for all this and do it most effectively.
As has been noted in our General News, these
truckers organizations are springing up all over
the state and the iberia Enterprise OF July III, re-
ports that some thirty truck growers in that COM
munity signed a roll as charter members OF such
an as: ~ociation and it vas !hCueht that very
many more would come into it. Mayor Power,
who was present at the meeting, said that ne re-
Sarded such an association as one of the great
needs of the parish of Iberia and he believed that
it would do more good for the people of that par
ish than anything else. He said ne hoped to see
the day when he could tell the visitor to New
Iberia that all the surrounding territory was in
truck. Others made similar addresses and a COM
mittee on organization was appointed, including
the mayor, and efforts will be made at once to
secure railroad rates and to secure reports from
the successful men of how they secured their ex-
cellent results. The name of the new organization
will be the New Iberia Truck Gardeners Assocla-
ton. Mr.. e. J. Carstens was elected president,
W. D. Coudron, vice president; John Curtis, sec
ond vice president; H. P. Gates. third vice presi
dent; H. ]. Hill, secretary; VIM. Newman, treas
ure:. An adjournment was had until July Il, al
which time the committee on constitution and by
laws would report. We wish our truck gardening
c~onfreres in New Iberia every success and hop'
that in our W parish Of Plaquemines severa
such organizations will be effected, as the geo
graphical character Of our parish is such as
pecessitate several such organizations IN order t
render the meetings easily accessible.

The Best Time to Water The Horse.

Every planter or farmer who is watering his
animals in the field on these hot July days IS
doubtless very much interested in knowing how
much water the average horse or mule should be
allowed to drink while he is hot. There has been
a common report that while work animals are hot
thew can with safety take all the water they want,
unless it is extremely cold water, because as they
90 directly on with their work they will not be in
jured by it. On the other hand, when we reflect
that an ordinary mule will drink a bucket OF
water. some three gallons, or twenty-five pounds,
and if very thirsty, will take double that quantity,
ffty pounds of water when hot, it is manifest that
the situation is somewhat confusing, if not danger
GUS. DR.. F. w. Culver in a recent issue OF the
North Carolina Progressive Farmer says that If
you water a farm horse in the ordinary way, let
ting him drink all that he will, you are likely to
have a foundered horse on your hands and that
this is especially so at the time that the horse is
fatigued. If this be applied to our mules in the
field, we should fancy that they would all be
foundered at once, as unless too much fatlgued,
they are almost ravenous for a mid forenoon and a
mid afternoon drink of water when it can reach
them, Some mules, however, will not drink at all,
probably because they are two much fatigued, and
others are somewhat capricious in the matter. In
some instances mules are either unable, or do not
want to drink with brides on, and hence we be-
lieve thai it is good perhaps always to take the
!, bride off of every mule when we offer the water
, to them and if on a hot day a mule will not taxi
j, water, he should be closely watched, as the stu
ton, so far as heat is concerned, would seem dan
gerous.
A standard Of one bucket Of water, or abou
f twenty-five pounds, of normal temperature ha
+ seemed to be entirely safe in our practice in water
0 ing mules in the fields during the hot weather
e But we have generally allowed them to take wha
: they wanted, and sometimes theysdrink as niue
as two buckets, or fifty pounds, and if DR.. Culver
views are right, the practice of some of US
wrong. Dr.. Culver says that the most dangerou

water is when he has cooled down from
