Farmer, Stockman and Dairyman "PayttrMik" Farm a Some notable examples of "pay BtreakB" in farming are shown so often, and while frequently dispen sing' Information almost Incredible, are as a rule pretty authenticated. We report below two experiences of "paystreak" farmers in New Jersey that aie true, but we never will be lieve Eastern soils "have anything on" Western soils, especially around Springfield.. . John S. Ware is treasurer of a trust company at Bridgeton, X. J.,. Last year he took $723 in net profits from an acre and an eighth of ground. Of his crop, J700 came in lettuce, $500 !n onions. The total value of what he raised. on that small plot was $2,100. J. P Marts is another Xilllputian farmer 'at Bridgeport. Off three acres he last year cleared $2,000. Ho raised 63,000 heads of lettuce, and that was his chief crop. Mr. Marts until two years ago was a glassblower, but he has become an Independent capitalist all on three acres. ,,The soils In the vicinity of Spring field for pertain products are wonder fully prolific. One of the most not able examples, of its productivity that has recently been brought to the at tention of the News, Is that of Mr. P. H. Emery's place near the Maple school. Upon three square rods of ground three years ago Mr. Emery produced l.pOO pounds of choice .onions. At the same ratio, one acre would have produced 84,000 pounds, or 42 tons. M, Emery that year re ceived ten cents per pound for hla output, and at that ratio would havs realized over $8,000 from one acre of ground. Under the law of percent ages If there is anybody in the effete East who can beat the raystrealcs of Oregon, let him stand forth and deliver. Don't Be Without Silage "Silage is going to be the big modi cino for high cost of living amongst us dairy cows this year." Every silo should bo filled for winter even if'one has to buy corn to fill it. Sixty-dollar' grain will make silage havo a feeding value of $7.C0 (o $9.00 per ton. This is a fact that is going to ahow tb worth of dirge as a fac tor lii lowering 'the coot of production on dairy farms atronger than at any time during the past The silo Is the greatest economizer on the farm. We have heard time and again silo users tell others to go borrow the money to build a silo. Some of the points to observe in making good silage are as follows: Cut the silage fine. It will pack and keep better and stock vIll waste less if it. Stcck waste coarse silage. Tamping is as essential to making good silage as getting fruit Jars air tight for keeping fruit. The better it is tamped the less wa ter needed. Use two or three men any way and tramp the very outer edge not five Inches w!th!n the edge but five one-hundredths of the outer edge. Add the majority of the water dur ing the filling of the last one-third. The smaller the silo, the greater the need for tamping. Eights and tens need a lot of tamping. Lane County Agricultural News.
