son for that is, of course, the fact
that larger profit is made from
it than from any other acre in the
farm; also it needs special care
because as rapidly as one row of
early stuff natures later variety
is planted there.
Special attention is given to the
care of work horses. Every even
ing the shoulders of the horses are
bathed In cold water. At noon in
summer the laborers are given an
extra half hour to unharness and
reharness the horses. which as
sures more careful treatment, and
as a result these horses do not
know what sore shoulders are.
Probably the most interesting
feature of this city family's farm
venture is that relating to the la
bor-the mother and the chill
dren, and the hired laborers. Es-
pecially is the handling of the lat
ter instructive. The concluding
chapter will introduce you to the
citizens of this little farm world.

Editors Note.-This is the
second chapter from farmers bull
1etin No. 432. In which the United
States agricultural department
tells the experiences Of . city'fam
ily in managing a farm. Editor
BY J. II. ARNOLD.
Scientific Assistant, Office Of Farm
Management, U. 8. Agricul-
tural Department.
The first thing the city man did
after setting foot on his Shenan-
doah valley farm was to think out
the general management of the
place. He laid out the different
fields IN such a way as to utilize
all space possible. Even the road
way through the farm was sown in
grass seed, and except In the
wagon tracks something was har-
vested by every foot Of ground. He
Preserved the land nearest the
house for an acre garden; also the
sorchard and wood lot was about
the home, giving plenty Of shade
and picturesque surroundings.
The general crop history of each
field may be worked out from the
following system of rotation:
Corn, wheat, grass for hay, pas
+ture, and then back to corn;
sometimes two wheat crops. fol-
lowed each other in the same field.
No great crops as measured by|
yield per acre were harvested, butt
each field paid a fair profit EACH
year. In 1892 the profit per acre.
was $500; 16 years later it hadl
grown to $12.93 per acre, which,
Included handsome increases inI
value of live, stock marketed.
A portion of the farm has all
ways been given over to the live
stock, changing each year. This
enabled the farmer to turn his
corn, hay, etc.. into meat and make
profit at both angles.
! He early planted an orchard of
! fifteen acres; now it is intend
ed to increase this to 100
/ acres. Only last year he sold 500
barrels of apples at $2.10 a bar
rel. During the first six or seven
years of the orchards growing 1t
was cultivated in other crops, and
then seeded to grass and clover
and used for pasture.
BY means of steam engine wa
ter is lifted into a 6fnk and dis
tributed through pipes in the
house and elsewhere. The sew
age Is distributed through tiles in
the orchard. All buildings were
constructed from the point of view
of economy in expense and con-
venience In use. The barns are
substantial affairs, located in ac-
cordance with principles of econor
my in getting to the fields. Wagon
sheds are so constructed that the
teams are simply driven through
the shed and left standing in their
proper places. No labor or time is
consumed in pulling or pushing
wagons into place; that seems to
be the keynote of this farmers
I success-no useless labor.
The soil Is kept up by fertiliz-
ing each year. Straw mulch and
wheat stubble plowed under have
helped with big crops; mixed fer
stilizers are prepared right on the
farm; one years stable manure
covers rs acres each year.

which accompanies this article, is

about one acre. On it are raised
all the vegetables used by the
family throughout the year, and it
usually brings in about 5000 a
year from products sold in a
nearby town. The principle
money crops from the garden are
kale, spinach, winter onions, to-
matoes and cantaloupes. Berries
and grapes from the garden sup
ply the family the year round,
fresh and canned and in jelly.
A speciality has been made OF

than early products, for which

ling. Particularly is this true OF
late tomatoes; he sells these about
the last of October and in Novem-
Der, when they are scarce and
prices are high.
A row of grapes occupies the
lspace along the fence at one end
lof the garden. The vines are
trimmed In winter, but receive no
other special care. When the
fruit is formed in early spring the
punches are bagged with two
pound grocery bags, tied securely
but not so tightly that the stem
is prevented from growing, and
these punches stay well preserved
on the vines until frozen off, in
the very late fall.
The soil of the garden has been
carefully studied and kept up in
fertility to point far above that
of the rest of the farm. One rea-
