Farrtiere and Farming.
The question arises, What is a farm-
er! One astute observer describes a
hewer as a person who can make a cord
of wood measure a cord and a quarter,
sna will keep the grocer waiting for his
Jena year without interest, but wants
interest every tray that the balance is
011h15 side. Another describes him as a
peon *tio work; without seeking in-
telligence in hi a line of 'tininess. The
ineet of wood sellers and the people of
Seeder* will agree that the first is cor-
rect, and any person seeing the attend -
since of farmers at the tide Creamery
Association in Seafotth or the Dairy
Association in Stratford, might be in
to think the latter is true also. In
Seaforth, on the last day of the Cream-
ery Association meeting, there were
Inuidreds of farmers on the streets and'
in the hotels, and only about half a
dozen went to hear those men whom
they were paying $50 for a lecture. The
lame at Stratford. They paid Hoard
a50 for each place, and other men the
same, and if farmers vvonld act on their
advice it would be werth thousands of
dollars in McKillop aloneffoard says
his best man in eleven years increased
the profit of his cows from 192 pounds
of butter to 308 pounds on an average
of thirty cows. Now, the cows of this
township give no more milk or butter on
an average than they did fifteen years
ago. In Wisconsin they draw the milk to
the creamery and aeparate the cream,
,giving eighty per cent. back in skim
milk. MePherson made $70 per cow on
thirty cows, givieg 6,000 pounds each in
300 days, and making 308 pounds of
butter and 4,800 pounds of skim milk,
er au average of 20 lbs of milk a day
stud one pound of butter a day. Any
one will see the average is not so high.
ft is milking the length of time that
gives"the profit, and the feed the same.
Butter here at 160 would give $49.28
and at 70 per gallon for cheese $42.
With the, Centrifuge Machine there will
bethree-quarters of a pound more of
butter to one hundred pounds of milk
thsn by selling.
. Mr. Hoard says peas sown four inches
deep will produce nearly double the
crop that they will if sown in the usual
way. He sows his garden peas ten in-
dica deep. How many farmers ever
tried it ? Of course the soil must be fine
and to be fine requires !cultivation.
Professor Roberts,of Cornell University,
N. Y., says he took an old worn out
day farm in 1887, and by finely pul-
terizing the seil ' without any manure,
doubled the crop in 188S; by still mak-
ing it finer by rolling and harrowing
it added one third more in 1889, and on
125 acres he kept 40 cattle and 28 horses
and this year had 2,500 bushels of
grain,- what a farmer can do in New
York he can do in McKillop. Farmers
will tell you that the land must be
larepy for fall wheat so that the frost
will pulverize it. -There was such a field
within a mile of Seaforth last year, the
worst crop in the township. Professor
Roberta also says, pat manure out on
gran or fall wheat and spread in spring;
put ail out on plowed land and
cultivate ; harrow, roll, then sow.
Nature teaehees us the leaves of trees
always lie on the top of the soil,
and see the prodigons crop of wood it
produces, which will take more sub-
stance out of the soil than a crop of
cereals every year. The chief reason a
summer fallow gives a better crop than
other land is because it is better pul-
verized, not on account of a year's rest.
Suppose grocers, merchants, printers
and hotel -keepers were to manage their
business aa the farmers, not learn any-
thing about -it, and spend a day or two
every week out in the country around a
hotel, how long would they prosper?
Farmers have not time,
they will tell
you, to care for stock or brush them; or
attend Farmers' Institutes,or Dairymen's
Associations, but they can find time and
money to go to political meetings or
gatherings to hear the Jesuits scorched
or blessed, and will read any political
debate, but will not go five miles to hear
or debate any question relating to the
farm; and all the debating clubs in the
'county discuss political questions, while
how to grow the most peas ,or potatoes
or get the most milk from the milking
machine is of More importance than all
the other questions in the county. You
cannot find three men in a township who
can tell how much milk or butter a cow
will give, or any test he has ever made
on the farm in any way. I will give
other questions of importance at the
cheese meeting on February 19th, and
hope I may incite some farmers to im-
prove or try to learn.
