INSTRUCTIVE 8TATI8TICS.
The government Crop Reporter for
January contains some very Interesting
data lu tables which show the average
yields of grain per acre In the United
States during the forty year period
beginning In 1808 and ending with the
close of 1907. During the first five
ycurs of this period the average yield
of the leading cereals was as follows:
Corn, 27.0 bushels; wheat, 12.3; oats,
29.2; barley, 23.8; rye, 13.8. In the
last five yours of tho period from 1003
to 1907 the yield of the same cereals
was: Corn, 27.C; wheat, 13.0; oats, 29.9;
barley, 20.5; rye, 10 bushels respec
tively. There are some helpful de
ductions and lessons that may be
drawn from the figures given. Among
them is this that a more exact and
scientific type of agriculture has not
during the period Berved to counteract
the loss In fertility of soils that to be
gin with were niarvelously prodigal
and responsive. The figures given also
emphasize the fact that those who are
engaged in the good work must con
tinue preaching the gospel of a better
type of agriculture which will restore
to the soil Its 'lost estate of pristine
productiveness. Another fact that Is
brought out is that there must be a
scad of redhanded agricultural sinners
who are prosecuting a wretchedly un
profitable type of agriculture to bring
the yields of the cereals named down
to so low a figure. Every farmer In
the country should consider It his per
sonal, religious and patriotic duty to
raise such crops as will put him on the
upside of these paltry averages to be
a lifter up Instead of a puller down.

MONOTONY BREAKS THEM DOWN.
If the figures are reliable which are
repeatedly published that of the in
mate of Insane hospitals farmers'
wive constitute a larger per cent than
any other single clasa of people It
would seem to be worth while to In
quire Into aouie of the causes which
are responsible for this condition.
While all farmer' wives who do their
share or the work have their time pret
ty fully occupied, it would not aeem to
be this ao much as lack of change and
variety thut la responsible for the men
tal depression referred to. Because of
household responsibilities which the
good wife cannot well escape from she
leaves the bouse less seldom than her
husband, who goe to market with
grain or stock. On this account every
effort should be put forth to give her
variety and change and relief from
her household cares as often ts la prac
ticable. Before the hair gT3ws silver
on the temples and the shoulders are
stooped with overwork the consider
ate husband, son and daughter will do
all they can to relieve the mother of
the heavy burdens which she has
borne so long aud uncomplainingly.
Any relief of this kind while she can
appreciate It will be sweeter to her
than hot tears and lovely flowers on
ber coffin lid. Make the lives Of these
tired mothers as bright and happy as
may be, and but a poor return will be
made them for their unselfish and lov
ing ministry.

SOME POSSIBILITIES OP ALFALFA
Professor D. II. Otis) of the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin haa Just concluded a aerie
of exiM-rlments with alfalfa as a feed
for dairy rows. He finds that young
cow not giving milk can be kept In
good condition during the winter and
gain from 1.25 to 1.5 pound per day
when fed nothing but alfalfa bay.
Speaking further of the value of alfal
fa as a ration, be states that, with an
average yield of four tons, alfalfa will
produce 8SO pounds of digestible pro
tein per acre, to supply which In the
form of oil meal would require 1.5
tons, which at present price would
coat $.'2.50. A summary of the feed
ing trial which were conducted show
ed that alfalfa could be made to take
the place of at least one-half of the
grain usually fed to dairy cows. The
cash return from feeding alfalfa at
the different exierlment stations range
from flO to $20 per ton. Trofessor
Otis state In closing bla report that,
with a yield of four tons per acre, a
conservative estimate would Indicate
that the Wisconsin dairy farmer would
lie able to increase his profits from 60
to 75 pe' cent by tne liberal yet Judl
clous use of alfalfa grown upon bis
o?u rare.
