OPENINGS FOR HusTLERs.

Opportunities for securing cheap land that has real value are about gone. Henceforth the energies of those who do not go to Canada or elsewhere will have to be devoted to a better handling of lands already under cultivation or the restoration of those which have been reduced to bankruptcy through long continued soil robbery. While tiere would be discouragements at the start, it would seem that along this line there are many good openings in eastern and southern states for any
 man who has the grit and intelligence necessary to succeed in a pioneer prop osition. The regeneration mentioned, can be effected through more thor ough cultivation of the soil, the use of natural and commercial fertilizers, tho adoption of a crop rotation which should include one of the legumes clover, alfalfa. field peas or beans-and a change from the selling of the raw products of tlie farm to marketing the finished products in the shane of beaF, mutton, park 1ouEtiy, dairy etc Naay farm in fA

A REeENERATED COTTON FARM.

During the past four or i've years the department of agriculture at Wash ington has issued bulletins giving ac count of some of the best managed farms of different types to be found in the country with the idea that such practical object lessons would be bene- ficial to other farmers not meeting with so large a measure of success. The plan has seemed to be n decided success, and much interest has been manifested in the published bulletins. The latest to be put out by the depart ment is farmers bulletin No. 364. which gives an account of a profitable cotton farm in South Carolina. Seven year ago, when the present owner took possession of this piece of land, it was a played out. rundown proposi- tion, type of scores to be found in the cotton belt, producing but five to eight bushels of corn or 300 pounds of seed cotton per acre. The methods adopted for it's regeneration were a deep and thorough cultivation of the soil, the use of barnyard manure and some commercial fertilizers, the rota- ton of crops and the exercise of in dustry and good judgment on the part of the owner The farm contains 132 acres, only half of which is devoted to crops. The first year the new meth eds were tried one and one-half bales of cotton and thirty-seyen bushels of corn were produced per acre. At pres ent the owner gets a yield of two and one-quarter bales of cotton. eighty five bushels of corn and eighty bushels of oats per acre. He keeps twenty four head of native cattle, mainly for the manure. though they give him small profit besides. From discour aging and bankrupt proposition this farm has been brought to the point where it yields large income and a handsome profit. The bulletin, which may be had by writing one's repre- sentative or senator or to the depart ment at Washington. should be in the hands of every cotton state farmer who is not making the most of his az ricultural opportunities. It will give him light.

It is frequently stated by those op- posed to the tuberculin test as means of riddlng dairy herds. of tuberculosis the system of an animal not affected 1t will contract the disease as u conse- quence. This misconception seems to overlook the fact that the culture which is used in making the test is thoroughly and completely sterilized before 1t is used, making contraction of the disease in tbis manner by q healthy animal an impossibility. More over, the extensive use of the tubercu- lin in testing hundreds of dairy herds gives practical proof that healthy ami malls do not contract the disease in the manner suggested

The farmers wives in a section of the small grain belt this year are on strike in the matter of furnishing sumptuous spreads for from fifteen to twenty thrashing hands and declare that hereafter thrashing crews that come to their places will have to bring along their own mess tent and cook. It's a wonder this strike hasn't come sooner, as in good conscience the aver age farmers wife has enough to do in the line of routine duties without being swamped with cooking for thrashers- A feature that has made bad matter worse in the past is the fact that there has been a bit of rivalry between the housewives of some localities to bear the reputation of preparing the most elaborate fare.

If the young pigs are weak boned and break down on the way to market or before, it is pretty good evidence that the ration given them has not had enough bone forming material in if. This Is just as necessary as the fat and flesh forming elements and may be provided by feeding the pigs wood or cob charcoal and ashes during the growing period.

Argentina exports more beef to the United Kingdom than does the United States. and no small part of her abil- ity to do this lies in the 5000, 900 acres of alfalfa which at present furnish much of the forage for her beef cattle, 1t takes from one to two acres of the legume to carry a mature steer through the year. The best steers raised are sold for export and fetch the grower about $50 per head.

While it is not an infallible sign, it is usually the case that the fewest weeds are found on the farms which are best and most profitably managed. as the strength of soil consumed in producing them cannot be utilized by growing crops.

Not all real estate agents are liars, but enough are so given to exaggerat- ing that it is pretty. good idea for the land seeker before tying up his hard earned money in a proposition to in spect very thoroughly the piece he con templates buying. This should include digging down several feet with a spade to ascertain exactly what the subsoil is, whether soil at all or only gravel and stone, and whether the water comes too near to the surface. This proce- dure may be deemed ''fussy" by some, but 1t is likely to save q good deal of fruitless '.fussing'' later on. If the land in question were gift such mi mute examination of what lies beneath the surface would doubtless be in poor taste, but not so if it is received in ex- change for good hard money.

The Wisconsin and Minnesota expert ment stations, in cooperation with the department of agriculture, are this season conducting u series of experi- ments in tie northern parts of the states with a view to finding out what are the cheapest as well as the most er- fectiye methods of removing the stump age from cut over lands, many of which at present. owing to the difficult ty of getting rid Of the stumps are not being readily taken up by settlers for agricultural purposes. Statistics will also be collected from firms at present engaged in clearing land, and the gist of the findings and the results of new experiments will be later embodied in h bulletin This clearing of the land after it has been numbered is an ex- pepsive as well as mighty prosy job, and if methods can be discovered by which it can be done any easier the efforts Of these investigators will be well worth while.

While an oyerfeeding of immature corn may not be the direct cause of, hog cholera or swine plague, as it is commonly known, 1t undoubtedly does cause a disordered condition of the system, which makes it easy for disease of any kind to get hold.

Some private and cooperative cream cries in Illinois and other dairy states are following plan which does much to encourage patrons to increase the size of their dairy herds. The plan consists ill helping the patron to select good cows and in lending him money with which to buy other cows. One half of the amount of his subsequent milk checks is withheld until the cows bought are paid for. This plan not only gives the farmer of small means a lift, but is direct benefit to the creamery whose volume of business is thereby increased. Within 'reasona- ble limits this plan would seem to be most excellent
