the farms. While his advice is not in
the shape Of an order, it must be fol-
lowed to a reasonable extent if the
tenant remains on the land.
The gross returns per acre upon the
five tenant farms in 1908 were, re-
spectively, 1888, 1882, $5.17. $40 and
$6.37 per acre. After paying the tax
es. 81 cents per acre, and Mr.. Lad
ages commission, 20 cents per acre,
the net return to the land owner was
$40 per acre.
Definite rotations are maintained on
all these farms, one representing live
stock farming and the other grain
farming. The 240-acre farm leased to
Mr.. Ladage's brother has the stock
system on 100 acres-corn, corn, small
grain and clover. One-fourth is in clio

horses. Eighty acres is divided into

oats, corn, clover and timothy. The
clover is hauled to the barn and the

All other conditions than fertility were

ager. There are six farms containing
1890 acres. One is rented out at 81
per acre as the state game farm. The
carefully, considered and settled policy
of bringing up this land is seen in the
very unusual requirement that every
tenant must keep enough live stock to
Craze or feed all the clover and part
of the corn grown on the farm. The
renters half of the corn must be fed
on the land, and the owner will sell
his share of the corn to the tenant at
the current price whenever the latter
needs it to feed live stock, and tenants
paid SO and 81 cents for such corn last
year. This agreement is solely to en-
courage the tenant to feed live stock
and assure him of having the grain in
any emergency. The small grain rent

fore Mr.. Ladage took charge OF it, it
was found that much more tile was
needed. and this is being put in year
after year, retaining spots of land
and greatly benefiting large areas. Last
year two strings of 10-inch tile were
laid close together across a 40-acre
field. Every foot of tile needed will

per acre.
One might suppose it would be diff
cult to get tenants upon such a lease,
but it hasn't proven so. Only one man
made objection to the live stock re-
quirement, and his place was easily
filed by another willing and able to
meet the terms. Certainly this means
a great help to the land and it also
means a better class OF tenants, The
man who can handle live stock sue
cessfully is a superior man. Isn't this
requirement a distinct step in advance
and worthy the serious consideration
of the many land owners whose rented
farms are steadily going down?

The owner provides all necessary
sheds, fences and improvements for
keeping stock, but his is not a stock
partnership. 1t is also planned to have

way to the campus to see what the
rumpus was about when they encoun-

How to Keep Wicker Furniture Clean

How TO Keep Wicker Furniture Clean
One of the biggest troubles with
wicker furniture is to keep it look
ing clean and bright. Once the dust
and dirt settle in the crevices of the
wicker-work, it looks dingy and shah
by. However, an easy way TO restore
the brightness to this sort of fur
niture, is to wash the canework with
hot suds made by dissolving a table
spoonful of Gold Dust washing
powder in a pail of water Apply the
suds with sponge until the cane
is thoroughly soaked and leave in the
fresh air until dry. This is also a
good way to restore the color and
elasticity to cane-seated chairs.
