If one has rich alluvial meadows, no
manure is required, and such land is
worth any reasonable price. In rec
ognizing the signs of good land there
is tale of blind farmer helping his
son into business and in walking over
farm the old gentleman inquired for
tall thistle of an old tree type, to
which he might tie his horse.
Here is one six feet HIGH" said his
guide. Then" replied the blind
farmer, 81 will take the farm"
He well knew. that though small, fiat
breeds of thistles grow on the poor
est soils, the tall, large types grow
only on land good enough to grow any
crop.
Horses are often objected to on
grass land, because they are supposed
to cut it up when galloping, but on
sound soils / do not see that differ
ence, and men who thoroughly under
stand horses can obtain more profit
from them than from any animal bred
for the table.
Horses will not sleep in field novels,
perhaps because an ancient instinct or
inherited habit still leaves them in
fear of the large carnivora, so ter
rible to their early ancestors in the
worldwide forests; and, further, the
horses like pure air, and the air in
the never-cleansed howell is as musty
as sepulcher if not as foul as a cess
pool.
If ponds were cleaned at the proper
season there ought to be good stor-
age of water, and farmers need not
mind a little muddiness if the mouth
of the pond admits of convenient ap-
proach.

KIND OF DAIRYING
MAN WILL ATTEMPT
Much Depends Upon Location of
Farmers Land-Much Ad-
vantage in Freight Rates.
CBy WILLIAM A FREEHoFFl

(By WILLIAM A. FREEHOFF)
The kind of dairying nan will at
tempt depends largely upon the loca-
ton of his land. If the farm is within
a mile or two of some large city,
worth several hundred dollars per
acre, the most profitable type will be
the retail milk farm.
This milk, or sweet cream, even,
must be of high class, and must ST.
for a CORRESPONDENCE high price in
order to be profitable. The farmer SIM
ply cannot afford to make butter or
cheese on such expensive land and
make it pay dividends.
In summer, during the ice cream
season, there is heavy demand on
some days, and lighter call on others.
There is no uniform price. The dairy
man will have to make quite elaborate
arrangements with retailers in order to
sell all of his products to advantage.
There is another disadvantage, how.
ever-that is, the matter of freight or
express rates. Then there are those
men beyond the easy reach of some
city markets. About the best thing
they can do is to haul their milk OF
cream to cheese factory or creamery
as the case may be.
They may even arrange to have a
man call for the cream at stated inter
walls. This method of dairying has the
advantage that the skim milk or whey
remains on the farm, and thus less
fertility is carried off,
But often there are very isolated
farms, those which are too far from
the city to cater to the retail trade and
too far from any city to ship sweet
cream.
These men may well sell to a cen
tralized plant. This factory, which &C

When spring is thoroughly in, the
country will be full of rich grass, and
nearly all the stock of the farm will
be doing well on it. Its effect is some
what relaxing for time, but such re-
Taxation must not be classified with
that which in delicate animals is
caused by indigestion. For instance,
calf is badly weaned, i'll nurtured in
Its infancy, during which period the
constitution is made or marred. Then
as a yearling or two-year-old, the
steer has become so debilitated that
he cannot digest the ordinary food,
and the excavations are too liquid for
robustness, and habitual purging is the
unhappy portion of such an unprofit-
able animal, which remains unthrifty
for life.
The healthy yearling or two-year-old
bullock may, just when the grass is
young and flushy, be purged as much,
but he will rapidly gain fiesh and as
the grass becomes older and harder
Vic PuA 6lA6 Will 81 uISdppcdi
On such pastures where the grass
is exceptionally rich, no one who thor
oughly knows his business will put any
stock except superior full-grown bull
locks, because the grass is rich enough
to fatten them, making them a third,
at the least, more valuable; and then
he has the use of the grass, when the
bullocks are grown, for other stock.
Of course there are few farmers who
have pasture that will fatten bullocks
without artificial assistance, and those
who have such luxury should not de-
bilitate it by moving, but rather build
1t up by the best of farmyard manures.
l cannot say l am an advocate of
using light artificial manures for pas
lures, but grass can be indirectly fed
by carting green food to the stock and
linseed cake and other purchased
foods.
The land from which any of these
green crops are taken must be COM
