CAP GRAIN SHOCKS.
Extra Quality of Cereal viii More
Than Pay for Trouble.

Two cap-sheaves. properly set on
every shock, will be found a money
maker. From one to three grades are
lost by not having grain shocks
capped The rain, the dew and the
sunshine are sure to blister and dis
color the grain in uncapped
shocks. Save the grade in ten or
eleven bundles by covering with one
or two caps. Then thresh the cap
sheaves first or last and keep this
grain separate. Feed it to the hens
or sell it by itself The extra quality of
grain in the protected shock will more
than pay for the trouble, or for the
loss in price of the poorer grain in the
cap-sheaves. If grain cannot be
threshed from the shock as soon as it
is dry, do not wait for the machine to
come around Stack! Barley, more
than any other grain, should be care
fully guarded in this manner All
grain intended for seed purposes
should be preserved in this way.-C.

The agricultural counties of Mime
sofa have an average population OF
only about 1880, or less than seven
teen to the square mile of land. Even
in the southern and central counties,
taken as a whole. it will hardly excee1
twenty to the square nile. Yet every
county is capable of supporting a pop
ulation of from 100000 to 100000
souls. At the lower rate-100,000 for
every county-the state would have a
population only one-third as dense as
that of Belgium, and much less dense
than that of Massachusetts.
The average size of the farms in
Minnesota is 100 acres. Just so long
as this system Of large farms prevails,
just so long will the country popula-
ton remain sparse, the villages lam
guish, business be more and more con-
'centrated in the big cities. and immi-
grants skilled in agriculture-who are
so much needed on our farms-be
forced to seek employment in the
mines and city factories, instead of in
the country where they properly be-
long.
There is probably no way in which
the present holders of improved farm
ing lands in all parts of Minnesota
could so rapidly increase their wealth
as by concerted movement for di-
yiding their farms and selling say
eighty out of each $50 acres to agri-
cultural immigrants, on easy terms,
in small holdings of from ten to TWEEN
ty acres each. To the Italian, Ger
man, French or other European immi-
grant accustomed as he has been to
see an even smaller tract made to sup
port large family-the opportunity
to acquire ten or twenty acres, in
settled region, on terms within his
reach, would be very alluring. The
present value of the land will not
probably exceed, on an average, $40
an acre. The lifting of the country's
population from the present average
OF $500 to say 100,0 would increase
that value to at least $3.50 per acre.
The eighty acres retained by each
farmer would thus be made worth
nearly twice as much as the whole
$50 is worth today Meanwhile, the
farmer draws revenue from the in
terest on the selling price of the
eighty acres with which he has part
ed; and he will ordinarily make as
much money by cultivating eighty
acres, with more careful .tillage, as he
formerly did on 100. For an increased
farming population means increased
population in the villages and a bet
ter market for all kinds of produce.
Some day our farmers will awaken
las railroad managers and city mer-
chants have already awakened-to the
fact that the present system of large
farms is not only inimical to the gen
eral business prosperity, and destruc-
tive especially to the prospects of
the small towns, but is also drag
upon the farmers own advancement
