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.

There has not been much doing in

No Horns on Cattle.
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.

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

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
