Chapter on Farm Economy Iaa Acreage, Free front Debt, More De sirable than Lara Farana-Mnah room Culture-Home a Nuisance. Farm Economy. The profits and receipts from a farm cannot easily be computed for single year. Labor given this season may bring results for years to come. Walls and fences that are built, drains that are dug, and trees that are planted, are but labor exchanged for profit that will extend over a long series of years. Manure on some soils Is lasting, and the beueflclal effects of some fertilisers are more apparent the second season than the first. Labor expended In bringing new ground Into cultivation Is not sup posed to yield adequate returns for s v oral years. A crop of clover that gives a yield as hay may leave In the roots and sod much valuable nitrogen as a supply for some succeeding crop, all of which lesseus expenses In the future by reducing the proportion of labor or manure which would otherwise b re quired. Profits on the farm are, con sequently, much greater when the av erages for several years are compared, as each year must bear tta proportion of expenses, and a failure to secure a profit this year may not be a loss, be cause there may be a correspondlug re duct Ion of expeuse next year. Jor must we overlook the advautage of the opportunity offered the farmer of sell ing his own labor In the form of some product. Where a farmer make only a small profit, but has derived a fair sum for the tabor be personally bestow ed, his gain la greater than the actutil profit. The farm has increased in value as the labor or inauure or other accre tion has failed to yield a reasonable cash prout. On the farm the Item of labor must be considered according to Its actual cost as an expenditure. Though the labor of the fanner himself la an item of cost, and must be paid for, yet he pays It to himself, and it really Is profit because of the employment se cured by him on the farm. For that reason a small farm, or a smalt Bock or herd, will always pay more. In pro portion to expense Incurred, than larger areas or an Increase of stock, The personal supervision of the farmer, or the Interest taken In the work per formed by him. will also add to the gains because of the closer application given the economy practi ed In every department. The labor on the farm," therefore. Is the heaviest of all ex penses, and It Is the principal stand point .from which all profits must lie estimated. But labor alone cannot make a crop. The soli must be fitted to derive the largest possible product by the proper use of plant food, which per mits of the application of labor to the best advantage. Small farms can be made to largely Increase their yields more easily and rapidly than large areas, because the manure or fertiliser can be concentrated instead of spread over a wide surface at an Increased cost of labor for men and teams; hence, proportionately, as the yields increase the expense decreases. Expenses are reduced when the yields are Increased because In many instances It requires but tittle more labor to secure a large yield than a small one, and expenses are also lessened when fertilizers are used to increase the yield because the cost of the fertilizers will be more than regained, as well as assist In securing greater results from the labor. The best mode of reducing expenses Is 'o cultivate no more land than can be kept up to Its highest limit of fertility so as to secure the largest yields possible.

We still occasionally find writers on agriculture who believe that clover an the main feed Is the best and cheapest way of growing hogs. We believe In clover as thoroughly as any one can. but It has its limitations. It Is uot adapted as the principal article of diet for an animal which has so smalt n stomach as a hog. It Is In the fact of the bog's sum 11 stomach that Its valna as a producer of cheap meat lnrgnly consists. No other auluuil tins so sma d a proiiortlon of waste as a purebred, fine-honed bog. It It could tie olillgeil to live nut Inly on clover, the amount of food It must eat would enlargu It stomach, ami also, porlinpH, Incrrnxe the proportion of bono in proportion to meat. A very smttll proimrtloa of clo ver given to hogs fattened ou ooru wilt enablo them to digest It better, tiectiuive the clover furnishes more of the mate rial for growth amj, muscle than the corn does. Hut this can quite hs well be furnished by oats or wheat u.ld- dllngs, with milk If It can be had. As succulent food In connection with grain, any kind of beets are. we think, preferable to clover. More of them will be eaten than of clover, and the beet will keep the digestive organs in good condition bettet tlmn liny other feed will do. American Cultivator. WEEKLY MARKET. LETTER. Oawalag, Hopkins A Company's Kavlaw of Trade. There has not been much doing in ths wheat market during the past week. The visible supply decreased 1,690,000 bushels, and the exports from both coasts were equal to about 5,000,000 bushels.

Horns were unquestionably useful to cattle lu their wild state; but since they nave become domesticated they are only a nuisance and a danger. No Mid in Hi except the horse is brought tuto so close association with man. in teed Ing cattle or In tying them up lu stalls tiiey will often whisk their heads play or to get rid of file, and unions great care is taken, the person who cares for them Is liable to severe ln jury. We have known sight destroyed lu one eye by the puncture of a sharp horn. The old plau waa to put knobs on the tips of the horn, so as to make them less dangerous. Nowadays the practice Is growing of dishorning cow and hulls, and better still, stopping the growth of horns with a little potnyh before they appear above the surface. If this Is done once thoroughly no trou ble from horns need be feared. The operation Is only slightly painful, uot nearly so much so as the burns woult Inflict if allowed to grow. Making Cabbaitea Mead. Every year about heading time the grower of cabbages finds bis crop del! dent In growth, and unless stimulated by extra fertilizing not likely to make a marketable head. Now a rabbngo that does not bead to merely a bunch of loose leaves that cannot be sold a all. It does uot matter what the cause of failure may be. Tossibly the plnn was orlglnalljr a weakling, and with ordinary care and rich soli could not amount to anything. Or It tuny lx th.'i lack of cultivation or natural poverty of the soil Is the cause of the failure to head. Either way the duty of the cabbage grower Is plain, lie should thoroughly cultivate the soil arouud the cabbage, and tltcu apply a very weak solution of nltrogeuous aud inln eral plaut food, the latter lu the form of phosphate. If this K done at once the cabbages will start into growth so quickly and also so strongly that, be fore the growlug season closes, the grower will probably be obliged to par tially uproot his cabbages to prevent them from splitting open with the ex cess of plant food with which they are furnished. Small Farms the Best. Farmers are beginning to se1? that a less acreage of land, free from the op pressive mortgage, Is more to be 'de sired than a burden of debt Intensive farming is the basis of argument upon which our learned and scientific agri culturists build tbeir estimates of rapid development and future permanent wealth. The Increasing number of small farms, with better cultivation and bet ter improvements, Is certain to be fol lowed by an Increased production, an Increased number of manufacturing in dustries, an Increased population and greatly Increased wealth of the State's resources. Economy on the farm may be made to mean more than the saving of the little things. The reducing of the mortgage debt by reducing the acreage of the farm to the actual capacity to till and make productive will be la the line of economy. The changing o- con ditions whereby 100 bushels of grain made to grow where formerly fifty grew la economy; the building of bet ter homes and the enjoyment of better home comforts by the family on the farm Is economy; the Independence of actual ownership In a buslneaa which recognizes no rival In Its business-sus taining attributes is economy ts mind and body. World-Herald. Pnmpklns a Paying Crop. There Is no corp reqtilriug so little labor that pays so well as pumpkins. There Is always a market for them In city or village at prices much higher than pumpkins are worth for feeding to stock. Yet it Is a bulky crop to ban die, and unless there is fl near market it may pay better to rut theni up and feed the crop to stock. . Remove the seeds always, as they are a powerful diuretic, and when fed to cows wilt ex cite the urinary organs far too much. Boiled pumpkins, with ft little com ment or whole corn boiled with them, make a much butter feed for fattening hogs than will whole corn. Finally the old-fashioned pumpkin pie, which the sons of New England have mode fam ous throughout the land, Is an Institu tion for which nothing can be auccess fully substituted. Some may my that squash pie Is richer; but it tacks the distinctive pumpkin flavor, and cannot replace H to any one who was brought up to like pumpkin pie. Mushroom Culture. jiusnroom-growing ia summer re quires, as indispensable conditions, a cool, oltt atmosphere, and a dark place from which flics may be excluded. The breeding of maggots in the mush rooms, as soon as summer weather be gins, renders their culture unprofita ble under ordinary conditions. A cool, dark underground cellar, however, may be used for mushrooms. The basket wag well filled with prepared manure, firmly packed, mounded up In the cen ter, covered with loam, and then spawn ed like an ordinary bed. Amateurs growing mushrooms In small quantities would find baskets or boxes very con venient for handling, and an economy of space. The general treatment Is the same as when grown In ordinary beds. About four years ago scientific at tention was given, for the first time, to very distinct variety of mushroom raised for market by a Long Island grower, who found it especially suited to summer culture. This mushroom (Agarlcus subrufescens Peck) was rather coarser In appearance than the variety ordinarily grown (Agnrlcus campestrls) and different In color, the Ilia being of a rusty reddish tint. The uew mushroom proved jto be of an ex cellent quality, a heavy yle.Ider, and very easily grown, flourishing In open frame outside. The only drawback to 1U culture was tba fact that ma ay pur- Horticultural Notes. Always puddle the roots of trees be fore planting. Prune the currants every year, cut ting out the old wood. In storing beets for winter be care ful not to cut or bruise them. The peach tree should be grown on a well-drained, moderately rich soil. Gooseberries and currants planted In partial shade are less liable to mildew. Keep the asparagus bed clear of weeds and do not cut over before the third -year. The time will come when nut trees will be commonly grown for commer cial purpose. Hummer pear should be gathered a week before they are ripe and autumn about two weeks. The quluce makes the best preservo of any fruit, we think, and it will grow In any mellow, rich soil. Rich soil, deep plowing, high manur ing and thorough cultivation will pro duce fl good cabbage crop. The soil in which fruit trees are to bo planted ought to be pulverized twelve to eighteen Inches deer It Is now that the flowers you have taken so much pains with laugh you a welcome when you enter the garden.
