ANCHOR YOUR FARM.

The Federal Geological Survey is
authority for the statement that an
average of ninety-fve tons of soil and
loose rock are washed into the ocean
every year from every square mile of
territory in the United States. The
stupendous amount of land washed
away may be realized when it is taken
into consideration that there are over
100000 square miles of land in this
country This loss to the American
farmer is gigantic, as it is obvious that
the soil carried away is top soil-the
richest in plantfood and humus.
Is the best part of your farm being
gradually washed away year by year ?
Do you allow the washes to develop in
to gullies to farther facilitate the rob-
bling Of your soil? Have you failed to
realize that the muddy creek flowing
through your section is carrying part
of yours and your neighbours farm
away?

Why Not Market Farm Produce This
Way

Ii our farmers are to prosper as
they should, they must learn to mar
ket comparatively. What would hap
pen if each worker in a cotton mill or
steel mill or a factory tried to mar
ket his own product each season, in
dependently of his fellow-workers? We
can easily imagine how excessive
would be the costs, and how much
greater are the profits made in manu-
featuring today because in every fac
tory in America there is one selling
agency or office-selling scientifically
the product of scores, hundreds, or
even thousands of individual workers..
Farmers must learn this same les
son, and that they are learning it, is
proved by the letters in this issue
If you can't go any further, be salts
fed to make a start by selling in CO.
operation with your father, brothers,
and near kinsfolk, taking in other
neighborS as fast as you can convert
them to the better way. Here's a new
cotton crop soon coming on the mark
ct, for example. Begin planning to
get it properly graded, and then get
two ten or twenty neighbors to sell
with you. Pooling cotton seed may
y
possible, some cO-operatOrs receiving
$500 pounds of meal for a ton of seed
this spring Or take tobacco; some
farmers are getting big profits by
turning their combined patronage to
warehouses that recognize them. If
you are selling corn, hay, meat, ETC.,
it is all the more important to sell in
quantities, and learn proper grading
and packing methods in order to get
full market prices. In the matter of
selling butter, wise selling methods
are bringing 10 to y cents a pound
profit.
Or take the marketing of surplus
products-vegetabl fruit, poultry,
eggs, on the average farm. Too often
one farmer makes a trip to town just
to sell a ham, another to sell half
dozen pullets, another to sell bushel
of peas, another to sell peck of
onions. Each mans time is worth al
most as much as he gets out Of his
sales The farmer does not know mar
ket conditions nor what are fair prices.
The whole system is about the worst
that could be imagined. How much
better it would be for every neighbor-
hood to adopt instead a plan such as
farmers in one neighborhood recently
adopted; One man was employed to
act as marketing agent for the entire
group, going to the market town, say
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days, and selling for a commission OF
Is per cent Three collecting stations
were named Cat farmers homes), one
say there miles, one six miles, and one
nine miles from the market town. To
these collecting stations the neigh
bors sent on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday evenings whatever stuff they
wished their market man to sell for
them the following day. Thus one
may do the work of many; regular
line of customers may be built up; the
marketing man will know what prices
are right and get them, and there are
other obvious advantages.
Begin cooperative selling now

INTENSIVE FARMING OF THE
FRENCH GARDENER.

The market gardeners on the out
skirts of Paris, that supply that city
with fresh produce, average in extent
from one-half to two acres each, &C
cording to a letter recently published
in The Chicago Daily News, written
by A. R. Decker There are about
1900 of these small farms that pro-
duce crops valued at $1,000 an acre
each year. This yield is more remark
able when compared with $14O per
acre, produced by American market
gardeners on Western Long Island
This high yield is obtained by the
French gardeners by the liberal use of
fertilizers and intensive methods of
cultivation. Before planting the gard
ener digs out the top soil and mixes
it with fertilizer During winter and
early spring the growing vegetables
are protected by glass, usually bell
shaped but much produce is raised
without glass. Water is obtained from
canals pumped onto the land by mo-
tors.-Seed World.

THE ASSASSINATION OF LEWIS.

THE ASSASSINATION OF LEWIS.
The defeat of David j. Lewis for the
United States Senate is a distinct loss
to Maryland and to the country. He
has done more to restore Maryland's
political prestige and standing than all
the politicians and alleged statements
who have represented her at Wash
ington for the last generation. In
making the parcels post part OF our
Federal machinery he accomplished
something for which every household
and every business man in Maryland
and the United States owe him an in
estimable amount. Reckoned alone in
the money, which he has saved and
will save the people, they !owe him
what is equivalent to huge national
debt. Reckoned in moral and political
Values, Ill LIlS SIICSI VI IAAo hShS hOh
public emancipation from the control
of the express corporations, he pre-
ferred a no less extraordinary service.
And yet his own State has dismissed
the man who has conferred these last
ing benefits upon her and crowned her
with honor and glory.
Allowing for the honest Democrats
who were unnecessarily apprehensive
of his Government-owners theories,
he would still have won but for the
assassins of his own party. And the
question arises, did they sacrifice him
simply from factional spite and re-
venge or were they hired assassins
who made factional divisions the cover
for a profitable business transaction ?
At all events, political murder has
been committed, which the grand in
quest of the Democratic party of
Maryland is called on to investigate
Baltimore Sun.

THE APPLE CROP.

The September forecast of total ap-
PIE production this year in the United
States, as reported by the Bureau Of
Crop Estimates, U. S. Department Of
is 67.679,O0O barrels of
three bushels each agricultural and
not commercial basis, as compared
with 7G.G70,0O0 estimated produced last
year, of which not quite s. per cent
were sold. in the past 10 years esti-
mated production has exceeded the
present forecast five times. Taking
the country as whole. it thus appears
that the apple corp will be nearly an
average, but y per cent smaller than
last years large crop. The crop is
larger than last year in the Atlantic
Coast States, including New York and
Pennsylvania, and in the Pacific Coast
States, but smaller in practically all
the interior states except Michigan,
which has about "a per cent more
than last year.
