To make a success of farming avoid
expenses.
Food given to Improbable animals
is wasted.
With a variety OF stock one can util-
ize all foods.
Best breeds do not insure most prof

All foods for plants must be soluble

Scientific Farming.

Husbandmen are looking more favor
ably upon scientific agriculture as they
come to understand that the system
means farming according to the latest
discoveries of the laws of plant and
animal life. Farmers used to regard
scientific farming laws Of agriculture
as formulate ted by some agricultural ed
itor who had no practical knowledge
Of husbandry.
Science means classified knowledge
on any subject, arranged for easy ref
rrence of the cause which produces
facts connected with every department
Of knowledge. so classified that the stu
| lent can obtain an understanding Of
astronomy, medicine. chemistry, geol-
ogy. biology entomology and bacteriol-
ogy. Without science the knowledge of
the ages would be lost and man would
DC unable to make progress.
All industries are operated for the
welfare and maintenance of man and
no profession is so allied to mankind
as agriculture. 1t is the oldest science
end the discoveries Of the laws of ami
nal and plant life Systematically clas-
sified are scientific agriculture. The
importance of improved farm manage
ment has interested alike the national
and State governments. Agricultural
colleges and experiment stations are
established in all the States to teach
the science of farming.
Husbandmen no longer look askance
upon scientific agriculture. Every
where the farmer Is confronted with
new developments in the art of his
profession worked out at experiment
stations How to improve the yield
Of grain and grass per acre, how tC
successfully combat the enemies OF
plant and animal life are too closely
allied with successful agriculture tC
be ignored by the farmer.
Knowedge is ilimitable. We drink
at its fountain, which is inexhaustible
The greatest pleasure Of life is the ac
ouisition of knowledge. 1t is like
seeking the fountain Of perennial youth
there is joy in the expectation OF
finding It. SO with the farmer, new
discoveries are being made annually il
the principles of agriculture which are
a pleasure and profit to know, and the
successful husbandman is always
seeking scientific knowledge in his vo
cation.-Goodalls Farmer.

not every actor who can interpret

I agricultural outlook as n whole is be-
yond question encouraging because Of
the profitable basis upon which it Is
at present wording.
'ln the industrial field signs OF re
cupcration continue TO multiply. As
said In previous adyices. the volume of
production in most industries is not
set equal to that existing before the
panic; yet the tendency is towards
a steady increase of output, and. for
tunately. there is a brisk demand for
all the products OF our mills. both pres
ent and prospective. The iron indus
try continues very active, there being
a rush of orders FOR nearly all classes
OF steel products. while the pig Iron
output, which last month was at the
rate OF 25.500.100 tons. is rapidly ap-
preaching record-brcakinG proportions.
The cotton industry continues quite
active, though somewhat handicapped
b. the high price of the raw material.
There Is, however. an entire absence
Of over-supply, and a brisk demand
for cotton goods is reported in all of
the western markets. The only branch
of this important industry at present
suffering is the export trade which
naturally feels the effect of high
prices. In the woolen business there
IS much activity. the mills are well
sold up and prices are firm. largely
owing t. the advance and activity in
wool which is comparatively scarce.
Only one important market has Jagged
behind. and that has been copper The
domestic demand for this article is
now improving in common with other
metals and better prices would have
beeI realized no doubt were it not for
the fact that production is still In
crossing taste: than consumption and
running at record-breaklnG figures.
Mercantile prospects are excellent and
business men generally are not only
anticipating a good fall trade but are
making preparations accordingly"
