FROM DOWN EAST

The Journal in its issue of June
s, quoted from the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican statement to
the effect that "Rhode Island has
400 untitled farms and large
areas which have never been cult
waited at all, although they are very
close to the market for SALE"
II might be inferred from this
statement that 400 is the limit of
farms in Rhode Island that are for
sale. In former article / gave
from statistics some data with ref
erence to abandoned farms and the
unused area of lands in the state.
There it was stated, think, that
there are four hundred more I'M
used farms in the state than there
were in 1900, and that less than
one-sixth of the area of the state is
cultivated.
The Legislature a year ago last
winter appointed a commission to
investigate this question of the
non-use of the agricultural posi-
bilities of the state and make a re-
port of the conditions for improve
ment.
This commission has made a pre-
liminary report and lists for sale
some 400 farms in about one-half of
the towns. Evidently the list in
the towns canv 4ssed is far from
complete. Ia fact the real estate
agents list very much larger num-
Der of farms for sale than does the
commission. (By the way there is
an agency in Boston that has
record of 5000 farms for sale,
mostly in New England
This state commission sent out
agents last winter through a part of
the state TO interview the owners of
abandoned farms, and other owners
who wished to sell. The farms
listed are described infinitely as to
location-t the town in which they
are situated, the distance from the
chief cities, the area-the number
of acres in the farm, the number
that is tillable, the number in wood
land, in pasture and in swamp;
whether the land is level or billy or
stony, and the character of the soil;
water-creeks, springs and wells.
The buildings are described both as
to dimensions and condition and as
to what shade trees, if any, sur
round; orchards; the amount of hay
cut, and to what the land is espe-
cially adapted. The assessed value
of the property is also given and, in
some instances, the asking price.
In comparing the assessed valua-
ton of these farms with the price
asked for them by the owners one
sees great diversity. In a few in
stances the price asked is less than

A large number of requests for
students trained to teach agricult-
ure are being received daily from
high schools in this and other states
by the authorities of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin. Men who have been brought
up on the farm and who have some
college training in agriculture, in
addition to teaching experience are
especially qualified to meet the re-
quirements of these high schools.
This line of work offers great OPP.
portunities for the high school as
sistant or principal of the graded
school, who desires to prepare him
self in agriculture. To meet this
demand the courses in agriculture
in the summer session of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin have been des ign
ed especially for teachers and grad
ed principals who wish to prepare
themselves for agricultural teach
ing.

the assessed valuation, One listed
is assessed at $500 which the
owner offers for $4,000; one asses
sed at So, 100 is offered for 81 500,
one assessed for $4,000 offered fot
So, 500. Many are offered for the
assessed value, but in most in
stances, while the assessed value is
given the asking price is not.
Where one offers to sell for the
assessed price or less it is evident
the owner desires to sell but there
are many farms listed where the
owner asks a fancy price, from
which it is inferred that he is not
anxious to sell, or that he is fishing
for suckers. An owner of go acres
in back town asks ST., 500; an
owner of 80 acres nearer to market
asks $4,000. The assessed value
of these is not given. A small
number offered for sale are rated at
six to eight times the assessed
value.
One farm is offered for sale for
5000, assessed for $500 The same
is listed for rental at $500 year!
Perhaps there is a typographical
error here, but there are statements
in relation to other places nearly as
inconsistent as this. Some farms
are rented as low as $50 a year
cash rent-and some as high as
$1,000. 1t is noticeable in all the
descriptions that the amount of
tillable land Is but fraction of the
total area, woodland, sproutland-
land where the timber has been cut
and left for nature to replenish--
brushland, swamp and pasture
comprising by far the most of the
total.
Few of these farms have a level
surface. The most of them are
billy and stony with more or less
brush in the pastures. People &C.
customed to farm in the West
would be discouraged in an at
tempt to till much of this land. Yet
on some of the land on these farms
good crops may be raised by the
use of liberal amount of fertilzing
material 1t would seem as if these
back farms could be better used for
supporting sheep than in any other
way, yet there are very few sheep in
the state-not half as many as there
are dogs.
The most of these places have
ample buildings and an abundance
of them. These buildings cost in
many instances more than is asked
for the farms. It must be under
stood that farms in New England
are small as compared with the
farms in the West. The average
acreage would probably not exceed
sixty.
One of the questions the commits
sion ask of the landowners is as to
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1911-06-29

the amount of hay cut per acre.
This question if answered correctly
gives fair test of the capacity of
the land. The answers recorded
show wide range, from one-quart-
er TO two tons per acre.
This preliminary report of the
states commission is valuable so
far as it goes, but it is evident that
it is far from complete as giving the
number of farms for sale. AS an
evidence, one town reports ninety
five farms for sale and another only
three. E.S.~R.

The following amusing tale was recently told to his class by Pro lessor Comstoek, of Cornell, in speaking of the trials of scientists It appears that a professor of in vertebrate zoology in sister uni versity wished to procure some trich. inous pork for purposes of exper, iment. The learned scientist went 10 his butcher and asked him if he ever got any measly pork.
 Sometimes" the butcher cauti. ously answered, but always throw it away"
 Well" said the professor, the next time you have any, I wish you would send me up some" meaning, of course, to his laboratory.
 The butcher though somewhat taken aback, said that he would.
 Three weeks passed. when the professor. growing inpatient, again visited the store
 Haven't you found any measly pork yet?'
 Why, yes" said the butcher Il sent up two pounds a week ago.

Defies Icy Walks With Sand Brake

There is a continuous flow of the sand
and icy sidewalks are rendered as
pleasant as the woodlands of Vallam-
brosa.
In the two previous winters Brady
slipped on the Ice on his way home.
One time he was laid up seven weeks
with a broken kneecap. The other
time he hurt his ankle and was laid
up at home for o.er a month. At the
beginning of this winter he began to
think of what possible thing he could
do to protect himself this winter. For
time he tried "creepers," but these
were not satisfactory. Then came
the brilliant thought
He took possession of the family wa
ter bottle and hunted up some old gas
hose. One difficulty was In getting
the sand to fall at the right spot and
also to adjust the flow. Finally he got
little plug. This he could open with
string leading up to one pocket that
allowed the sand to flow at regulated
speed. But the SIND would fall by
the wayside and not go under his
shoes. Brady is a mechanic and made
little metallic thing he called a
"spreader." This caused the sand to
slip under the soles of his shoes
Brady thinks he ought to get patent
out on the sand "spreader."

Nothing Can Quite Take Theis

No garden can be considered com

variety of herbs. for nothing can quite
fill their place in the household.
The seeds of annual sorts should be
sown early. but of the perennial var
ieties land many Of the best are that
the seeds sown in midsummer will
produce strong plants that may be
freely cut from the following year.
Make the soil rich. mellow and fine
before sowing the seed. When the
Seeding plants are large enough they
may be transplanted to the border
beds, or the fence-row where they can
grow undisturbed year after year.
When the roots become large they
may be divided and new plants start
ed II more are wanted, though two or
three plants Of one variety will fur
nish all a good-sized family will need,
as the leaves should be cut several
times during the season.
The leaves should be cut when full
ly grown and before the plant blooms,
choosing clear. dry day for the work.
Spread In cool. shady room to dry

spells both color and flavor.
When thoroughly dry powder the
leaves by rubbing between the hands
and store away in tight cans or boxes.
