'You cannot got two crops from the land
without doing injury unless the land be
highly manuted. The custom of securing a
crop of hay from the orchard rebs the trees.
The more hay the leas fruit. The fruit crop
needs as careful attention as any other, All
crops grown in the orchard other than the
one deserved from the trees simply retard
the growth of the trees and lessen their bear-
ing capacity.
The farming of the future must be gradu-
ally contracted in the number of acres.
Higher cultivation, more remunerative crops,
leas hard work over broad fields and closer
attention to special paying crops on the fields
that surround the house. More pasture,
more stock and plenty of ensilage—this in-
sures the purchase of less commercial fertil-
izer and the very best results from the con-
tents of the barnyard.
The hoof: of stook do as much damage to
grass as the grazing of it. No pasture
should be given up to stook. It is better to
divide the pasture into sections, permitting
the stook to have access to only one section
at a time, in order to allow the other por-
tions to recuperate and renew the crop. The,
shorter the grass is grazed the more injury
will be done by the hoofs.... On wet land the
injury from tramping is greater, hence
stook should be kept out of the pasture for
a day or two after a rain.
Who says the farmers are not manufac-
turers ? The idea is not new, but every barn
in the land where animals are kept is a kind
of manufactory. The animals are the ma.
ohfnes ; hay, oats, grain, roots and other
food crops are the raw materials ; and milk,
wool, meat, etc., the products. And'the
conversion c.f these raw material into salable
products requires a vast amount of Iabor,
capital, skill, and good business manage-
ment. Should not the farmer, then, be as
fully protected as other manufacturers

Animals' Right of Property.
A recent writer says: "I have been ex-
ceedingly interested as a horticulturisb and
student of nature in observing the recogni-
tion of the rights of property in domestic
animals. Ahen will not concede a grain of
corn as belonging to another, but the one
robbed will manifest indignation ; but a ben
will recognize the right of another to the oc-
cupancy of a nest, if not thereby seriously
discomfited. A cat makes no claim to pos-
session until her foot is on the piece of meat.
After possession, however, she asserts her
positive rights, and heavier cats will allow
the claim. Old cats will often allow young
ones to rob them, but they will not allow
older ones to do the same. A dog not only
claims a bone while in poasession, but estab-
lishes his right to the same bone when buri-
ed, and woe be to the dog that opens the
cache. " This recognition of property rights
is seen everywhere in lower life, although
theft is common. "Again, if you find ycur
horse in his neighbor's stall, eating oats, and
scold him for it, his retreat is made with
