Better Agricultural Methods.

A nation that can count harvest
by billions, it might be supposed,
would be prone to imagine that it
is already practicing good enough ag-
ricultural methods.
But we imagine that when the
banks are all repaid their loans to
farmers to move their crops and
profit and loss accounts are closed
the per capita net earnings of our
great agricultural population will
not be wholly satisfied. When too,
the average yield per acre of each
of our products over the entire coun-
try is compared with the yield in
other countries, we are quite sure
that convincing proof will be sup
piled that we as nation, are prodi-
gal and wasteful in the extreme in
farming.
To illustrate: The United States
produces an average of SO bushels
of potatoes per acre, and the farmer
who grows 800 bushels is justified in
boasting of his skill in agriculture.
Crowded England often raises ! 900
bushels to the acre. and sill more
crowded Belgium, with over 500 per-
sons to the square mile, can often
show 500 bushels to the acre. What
is here said of potatoes is equally
and strikingly true of all other land
products so that our Agricultural De-
partment has sent a commission to
Europe to find out how they do it.
The principle upon which Europ-
can farmers work is that of paying
rl 70 ha of No ioy
That is all that intensive farm meth
DDS mean-getting the most possible
out of an acre of land with the
least possible expenditure of money.
1t is necessary to emphasize the
word money for there is sys-
tenn of farming which obtains in all
countries that consists of getting the
most possible out of an acre, with
the least possible expenditure of la
Dor, time, investment or care. If
that is farming at all it is not in
tensive farming, but the most ex-
pensive kind of farming.
Now and then we are told that
the American farmer will soon have
exhausted all the natural fertility OF
the land, and that he must come to
intensive methods. That warning is
muttered as though it were some
impending calamity or fearful alter
native.
II is not necessary to wait until
the fertility of the land Is exhaust
ed before adopting intensive meth
DDS. All can commence tomorrow
morning. And absolutely nothing
else can be conceived. which will
contribute so much and so quickly
to the national and individual wealth
as will radical reform in the di-
rection of more scientific and busi-
nesslike methods of agriculture and
horticulture.-Was Post.

NEW ENGINES
FOR OLD ONES

Indiana Harbor. Ind, Oct. 2S.-Owing
to the rapidly increasing traffic on the
local division of the c., /. & s., it has
become necessary to add a number of
new engines to the rolling stock equip
ment and to substitute all of the old
ones with new.
For this purpose twenty-five new
freight engines, of powerful construc-
ton and perfect mechanism, have been
purchased and these viii be installed
on the local division.
The old engines heretofore in use on
this branch of the c., I. & s. will be
sent to the Kankakee division of the
line. Time was when this division did
a larger business proportionately than
was done at this end of the line, but
all this has changed.
The Indiana Harbor Belt has also
been obliged to add to it's equipment
and has purchased eleven new switch
engines in order to take care of the
increased traffic.
