Speed Of Animals.

1t Is believed that no animal has
ever exceeded the speed which can be
attained by the horse. instantaneous
photographs of one famous specimen
showed the full length Of complete
stride to be about twenty-six feet.
The hare has not, in reality, the speed
Of the dog. The dog. on the other
hand. does not attain the speed of the
horse. The giraffe is said to run at
the rate Of fifteen yards per second un.

yards second. carries a weight ap-
proximating to that carried by six
horses.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

ALFALFA.
above the average. but similar results
can be obtained where intelligent care
is given to the cultivation of alfalfa.
Miss Gliden at the outset was ambi-
tious not only to make her farm a
financial success, but to demonstrate
the wisdom Of having a rotatfve
scheme and of selecting variety Of
products for which there is steady
cash demand in provincial towns as
well as in large cities. Much of her
success comes from management along
this line, as she always has two or
three small fields Of highly profitable
vegetables.
She also has succeeded fairly we'll in
getting two crops from patch of
ground In one season. This is done by
producing lettuce, radishes. peas.
beets. ETC.. in the early part Of the
summer and following them with
sweet corn. peppers. spinach. celery
and other vegetables which cannot be
planted while there is any danger of
frost In the spring. This scheme of
growing succession crops can be
worked in various ways. Land has to
be heavily fortified in the fall. This
and thorough cultivation during the
growing period will maintain soil fer
tility. Miss Glidden varies from her
program in such way that the labor
Is evenly distributed throughout the
year. or at least this point is kept in
view, but naturally field work becomes
pretty heavy in connection with vege.
table growing. She has a paying poul-
try plant and in a short time will be
able to market several beef animals
every year.
A farm Of thirty acres conducted on
this plan will yield an income of $1,000
or more after paying for the labor re-
quired. Naturally some seasons will
be better than others and profits will
not always be the same. but this ener.
getic young woman has found q sys.
TEN of making her farm pay, and her
success with thirty acres has made
some Of the men folks who have much
larger tracts gasp with establishment,
The day has come. in the opinion of
agricultural experts. when farms of
ten to thirty acres will be made suffi-
Gent to occupy the time and talents Of
highly trained and progressive men
and women.
Both in fact and theory farms are
becoming smaller. and experts now
hold that fair living income for a
family may be gained from one Of
these small tracts. Ten acres, IL wise
~ managed. will return an annual
profit above operating expenses of
$500 to $500. Larger places give
returns in proportion when the owner
has ability and suitable equipment
There are plenty of truck and fruit
farms In the United States which can
show yearly revenue Of more than
$500 an acre. This only has come
about in recent years since the pres
ent high level Of produce Was reached,
and therefore many old fashioned
farmers who devote themselves to dali
ries or one or two grain Grips are still
unaware Of what may be accomplished
by modern methods. ~
