ONIONS PAY BIG
ON SMALL FARM
On Small Strip of Waste Land
Man Secures Yield at Rate
of 40 Bushels.
(By G. A. INGELSBYD

10Y "A. ,
Last year l rented for three dollars
a strip of waste land so rods long
and rods wide adjoining my house
and planted part of it in onions. 1
raised As bushels, and the yield was at
the rate of 400 bushels per acre. I
sold my crop for 81 per bushel Next
spring l will plant two acres on rent
ed ground. The work is no more than
raising potatoes and the profit will
be greater on account of the less
cost of seed. bought my seed with
out any special recommendation to the
seedman, and it grew fine, large
onions at the rate of 400 bushels per
acre.
On this land l can only get a yield
of 100 bushels per acre Of potatoes,
therefore, the onions are much more
profitable One of my neighbors sent
to a reliable seed house for his onion
seed, and although he got fine start
and over 800 bushels of onions, they
grew double and began to rot as soop
as ripe, and he had to sell them at a
low price in order to avoid a total
loss.

ton may be, the fact remains that
we have an Unborn instinct which
makes the average man happy out in
an environment which nature has pro-
duced unaided.
Let us first consider those difficult
ties which arise at the very beginning
OF the transfer from the city to the
country.
The first of these has to do with the
real estate agent. The man who has
lived all his life in the city is no
judge of the agricultural value of
piece of land.
He does not know what is a fair
price for land under a given set of
conditions, hence he is an easy mark
for real estate agent, and unfortu-
nately some men are engaged in this
business whose word cannot always
be trusted.
Hence a man who is contemplating
radical move Of this kind should
study the matter until he understands
it, and finally select land in a locality
where there are good markets, where
the soil has possibilities in it, and
where he can get piece of land at
it's real market value
The second great difficulty lies in
the city mans ignorance of the prin-
ciples involved in farming. No other
sphere of human activity involves
knowledge of so many principles as
does farming
A few of the things a man has to
know before he can make a success
| of farming ars as follows: He must
know how to manage the soil; he
| must know when it is in condition for
blowing and for the different tillage
operations; he must know the value
and use of manure and fertilizers; he
must know how deep to cover differ
ent kinds of seed and the season for
different farm operations.
He must have a pretty general
knowledge of the types of farming in
order to be able to select type suit
able to his conditions, and there Is a
great multitude of them to choose
from.
He must know the anounta of CAPT.
tai required for given agricultural
| undertaking.; also the amount of labor
required. He must know what are the
best varieties OF crops to be planted;
the season for planting and harvesting
| these crops; the rate of seeding;
| how much work stock is needed, and
| how much of other kinds of livestock;
how much feed these animals will
consume.
One of the things which it is highly
important fer the successful farmer to
know is whct constitutes a fair days
work on the farm. If he is ignorant
of this he will be imposed upon by
many hired laborers he is so unfor
tunate as to be compelled to employ
In addition to knowing about the
soil, the capital and labor required
the varieties of crops to grow, and de-
tails of growing them, he must under
stand the principles of marketing
farm produce.
Fortunately the city man is usual,
better qualified for this part of farnl
management than is the average farm
er because he knows more about con
ditions in the cities, where he must
find his markets.

By W. J. SPILLMAN, Chief of Farm
Management, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
At no time in the history of this
country has there been so much in
terest in farming on the part of
city people as there is at the pres
ent time. In nearly all large cities
courses of lectures in agriculture are
being given under various auspices,
and the attendance is taxing the ca
pacity of the largest available audi
forums. At the same time there is
a remarkable increase in attendance
In the agricultural classes in the COL
leges. The causes of this movement
back to the land are many.
First has been the work of the COL
leges, and especially of the expert
ment stations, in getting at the prin-
ciples involved in agriculture.
Second, President Roosevelt's coun-
try life commission had a great deal
to do in awakening public sentiment
on this question and in giving agri-
culture a standing in the social life
of the city. This commission was the
butt of the newspaper funny man and
the cartoonist, but it aroused public
interest in matters agricultural as
nothing else has ever done.
1t has opened all the popular maya
zines and all the important newspa-
pers of the country, and one scarcely
picks up one of these nowadays with

farming. In other words, agricultural
literature has broken into society and
is now the social lion.
In the third place the character of
current agricultural literature has
had much to do with the present stu
alton. This literature is immensely
more practical than that of a genera
ton ago.
In recent years it has given espe-
cial attention to cases of highly sue
cessful farming which are to be
found scattered here and there all
over the country, and the impression
has become general that by the utili-
cation of the information cleaned by
scientists In their Investigations farm
ing can be made highly profitable.
Furthermore, the man who has
made distinct success on the farm
may now become a national character
through the agricultural press. That
is, there is a chance for man to
make a career on the farm.
The marked success of few city
men who have undertaken farming
has also had an effect, and the adver.
tisement these men have received has
Influenced a great many city people.
In addition to these influences, there
is an inherited love of the human race
for the natural, for the woods and
fields and the prairies.
Some time ago the writer was driv-
ing with party OF city people
through a beautiful wooded section of
Maryland, on a warm spring day,
when a gentle rain was falling The
leaves were all washed clean and
there was an odor of the forest steam
ing up from the ground.
AS we rode along the whole party
was silent, every one looking off into
the woods. Some one asked, "Why is
It that it looks so good to all of us?'
Another replied: 1T has not been
60 very long since our ancestors lived
out there. That had been their home
since the time when they hung by
their tails from the branches of the
trees

REASON THE DOUGH S0URS
UncleanIiness in the Making or the
Utensils Is One Of Prin-
cipal Causes.

There are two reasons why bread
sours. One is because the process OF
making or the utensils have been I'M
clean, or else the dough has been al
lowed to stand too long before being
made into loaves. If milk is used it
should be scalded and allowed to cool.
Raw milk should not be used In
breadmaking.
Surprising it is inconvenient to mold
the loaves just at the time it is be-
lieved the dough is ready, it is good
plan to knead it in the pan again for
4 few minutes.
This prevents souring, and the
dough, If only lightly kneaded. will
soon rise again. It should then be
put into the baking pans as quickly
as possible.
