Money Made On a Few Acres.

Money Made TN a Few Acres.
One of the most interesting
farms in Ohio is a twenty-five
acre tract of land near Arcanum
in Darke County, that is owned
by Mr. Allen Geer. Of recent
years the doctrine of the little
farm well tiled has been wide
ly preached but rarely practised.
This practical farm which is
worked by Nh. Geer is one of the
few exceptions where the pos
sibility has been matured into a
profitable actuality by the inten-
sive pursuit of modern methods
and up-to-date management.
The farm is divided into five
acre plots on which a f~our-year
rotation is followered: clover,
corn, tobacco and wheat consti-
tuting the crops that are raised.
The land is of a rolling nature,
while the soil is a rich, black
loan which is never surfeited
with water, due to six hundred
and fifty rods of tile laid at q
maximum depth of thirty inches,
which furnish adequate means
for thorough underdrainage.
In the five years which he has
owned his twenty-fiVe-acre farm
he has distributed five thousand
tons of manure over the fields.
A large portion of this fertilizer
he secured in the neighboring
town for the hauling of it, while
the rest of the manure cost him
from ten to fifteen cents a load.
To show that his efforts in re-
plenishing the fertility of his
soil have not been in vain, it is
only necessary to mention that
last year this progressive coun-
tryman harvested four hundred
and fifty bushels of corn Of fine
quality from his fve-acre corn
field, while for the past three
years his wheat has never gone
below thirty-nine bushels to the
acre. His most profitable cash
crop has been tobacco; his 1911
return from four and three-quar-
tiers acres amounted to $7O7. 40.
His tobacco usually averages
around 1850 pounds to the acre.
And the best part Of the pro-
position is that the Geer place is
a regular Klondike nugget in its
liability to draw money. During
the last five years its owner, in
addition to gaining an ample
livlihood for himself and his
family from the farm, has an
nually disposed Of more than
5000 worth of produce that was
raised on this little tract.

Says Trouble is Not With Our
Land But With Our Farmers.

DR.. Milton Whitney, chief Of
the soils bureau, insists thai
proper cultivation and rotation
will make rundown soils produce
again as well as ever. The
trouble is not with the land, but
with the people farming it, and
their methods, stoutly declares
DR.. Whitney.
The Bureau of Soils is trying
to find out all about the changes
in soils that are wrought as q
result of cultivation. It declares
that the mineral and metal basis
changes very, very little. The
products of vegetable and ami
NAL growth, on the other hand,
change greatly and modify soil
qualities very much. One will
be useful and benevolent, anoth-
er vicious and harmful.
A certain soil, once producing
excellent crops of wheat, had
become exhausted" CoW-peas
ground very fine were applied
and it was found they had re-
stored the soil: it produced a
good crop, and did the thing
three times in succession; then
the soil lapsed back into its first
condition of non-proeuctivity.
Why did the coW-peas have
that effect? The Bureau took like
proportions Of potash, phospho-
ric acid and nitrates-the plant
food elements of coW-peas, and
put them into the soil; and it did
not produce the effect Of restor-
ing its fertility. The point
to be that these various
elements, mixed together and
applied to the ground, didn't
have the genuine cow-pea effect.
Doctor Whitney in a recent
address gave this explanation of
the operations within the soil of
various agents introduced thro-
ugh rotation Of crops. He
seems to have a considerable
backing of authority and expert
ence IN favor of his theory that
fertilization is, at least. much
less necessary, If scientific rota

How Railways Might Help Re-
duce the Cost of Living.
That the population of this ma
ton is growing faster than is the
production Of food is true. But
we need not therefore implicitly
accept the prophecies of gentle
men like Mr.. John J. Hill of the
Great Northern, Northern Paci-
fc and Burlington railway sys-
TENS, Mr.. w. B. Brown of the
New York Central. President
Finley Of the Southern, Mr..
Yoakum and others that we
shall soon face something like
national starvation. People en-
ter occupations which are the
most available and most profita-
Bile. As farming becomes more
and more profitable, it will com
mand the attention of more peo-
pie, and the volume of food pro-
duced will increase. We shall
not starVe for a while. Before
that occurs we shall doubtless
see farm products SO high as to
attract enough hands to the fer
tile acres SO that our national
larder will be supplied.
Most of these gentlemen are
railway men. 1t may be in or
der ia suggest that the RAILWAYS
can do much more than they ev-
er have done to stimulate produc-
ton. The transportation of lime,
phosphates, nitrates, potash and
the manure from the cities to
the lands is railway function.
In many parts Of the country
the railways do not seem to have
thought that they are charged
with any duty to themselves or
the public in the making Of low
rates on these things. Lime is
needed III millions Of tons for our
acid soils. It would seem good
business for the railways not
only to transport lime at cost,
but to encourage its production
for agricultural purposes along
their lines. Phosphate rock is
the basis of most fertilizing
operations. It usually comes
from far, Should it not be
brought to the farms with no
thought of profit in the mere
carrying? The railways carry
the feeds to the cities from
which manure is made. It
would seem good business for
them actively to interest them
selves in the matter of getting
the manure back to the land.
Every ton used would result in
vastly greater tonnage from the
farm, and increased food-supply
as we'll.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS
TO CURE SLEEPLESSNESS

If you are troubled with sleeplessness.
try one Of the following simple reme-
dies before going to a doctor with the
plea that he give you something to
make you sleep:
Drink q glass Of warm water before
going to bed instead Of the usual glass
Of cold water. Sip 1t slowly, and II pos
sible eat q small biscuit or cracker with
it
Avoid all mental exercise for at least
half an hour before retiring: allow the
brain to rest and become calm before
you attempt to sleep.
Stand before an open window and
breathe deeply, inhaling through the
mouth and exhaling through the nose;
then lie down and continue doing this
until sleep overtakes you.
Keep the eyeballs looking down. or roll
them from one side to the other. count
ing each time they move.
This Is the principle by which we are
told to count sheep leaping over a log.
The sound Of water dropping slowly into
a pan or the ticking Of a clock will oc-
cupy and quiet the brain. and looking
steadily at one object or a point of light
will bring the blessing Of sleep to weary.
