Farm Notes

Owing TO improvement work which
had 10 be done last spring on the
writer's ranch. the work Of setting out
young pear trees was delayed until
early in May. which in the section in
which the writer lives is considered
two months late. However. we took
pains in setting them. kept them thor
oughly cultivated through an unusual
ly dry season without watering. and
this fall ends them holding their own
admirably. we would not advise as
late planting as this, but mention this
instance TO show what is possible II
trees are healthy and are properly set
and cultivated.

The novelists reference TO living

which be has surrounded himself,

THE rebound in London would in
dictate a steady stock market to-day.
Yesterdays volume of business was
only about 40 per cent OF the day

The normal action of the market for

sharp setback. If we do. buy stocks
again. Business interests feel more

it would be a pretty good idea to call

youngsters are making. You can't
count on their being profitable from
the standpoint Of pork. veal or muttoa.
but with the right kind OF care and
attention they win develop into some
thing a good deal more important than

10 visit the school often enough so as

While It only seemed 10 spell disas-
ter to the cotton industry Of the south
when it first put in an appearance, the
cotton boil weevil may come to be
viewed as a godsend II the results Of
its inroads prove the same in other
states as they have been in Louisiana.
As result of the damage by this pest
the yearly revenue from the cotton
crop in the state has been reduced
from S5o.O00.OO0 to s15.0O0,O00 but in
about the same interval. as a result OF
adoption Of better agricultural meth
DDS. crop rotation. drainage OF low
lands, etc, the annual value OF the
corn crop OF the state has increased
from S5.OO0,0O0 to Sc. 100000, the cash
returns from growing corn being more
than twice that secured from cotton
II is 10 be hoped that the experiences
Of other southern states with the boil
weevil may in the end be as pleasing.

The Kansas experiment station has
been making inquiry into the question
OF the prohtableness OF operating the
small farm, and the data 1t has gath
cred relative TO one dairy farm in that
state are both interesting and encourag-
ing. or course It goes without saying
that the type Of farming followed is at
once the most intensive as well as
usually the most profitable. The farm
in question contains forty-two acres,
considerable portion OF It being devot-
ed TO pasture. There were kept on the
place twenty-five milk cows. three
head OF yearling stock, four bulls and
two draft mares. The receipts includ-
ed S2,135.93 from the sale OF cream
and milk and S1.134.2T from other
sources, or a total OF $3.50. The ex-
penditures were S537.36 for grain.
S356.43 for forage and 5000 for labor.
or a total OF Si.49S.91. This leaves a
net income OF s1.s767s, which is a
good notch above the net income from
the average 100 acre farm.
