INTENSIVE FARMING
If4 PENNSYLVANIA
In many countries of the old world,
farms are about the size of average
market gardens in this country, and
in Japan where the little people are
big enough to' fearlessly fight the
great Russians, they have farms that
are more like American kitchen gar
denB for size.
We do things on a rather large and
sometimes a wasteful scale, but we
are steadily improving.
At the recent meeting of Pennsylva-
nia breeders, Rev. J. D. Detrlch.
hich 378 were coasting i Flourtown. I'a.. gave some valuable
pointers on how he keeps two cows to
the acre. He described the making
of a high-bred soil. He puts tbe ma-
nure on top of the field, blankets the
field as carefully as he would fine stock.
There is nothing so unfortunate as
keeping the ground bare. A pure-bred
farm eats everything. His pure-bred
15-acre farm eats the manure from
29 cows and two horses, which he
feedn $650 worth of commercial feeds
a year, besides a lot of humus which he
turns under. He feeds a variety of
feeds—hay. Bilage, cottonseed, linseed
bran and gluten feed. Always euta the
hay fine. He has grown silage corn
on the same ground since 1892. fol-
lows silage corn with rye which he
soils the next spring and immediately
plows the ground for corn. He ap-
plies the manure as fast as It Is made.

EVASION OF
WOMEN'S EYES
It Is a surprised sympathy that
go out to the young German who is
dismissed, poof! poof! with an incred-
ulous smile by a court official because
he says that a woman of his acquain-1
tanoe hypnotizes him with her eyes
so that he loses all will to do his own
way whenever he sees her. Though
he may cast his eyes upon the ground
time. Leaving a critical consideration of
the contents of that important document
to such time as its particulars may be
learned and looking briefly to those as-
pects which have been made clear, the
following ffropoaltlons will, it is believed,

In touch with the situation.
The work assumed by the government
In the matter of the renovation or trans-
formation of the tribal autonomies in
InHlan Territory, is Infinitely greater and
more complex than congress or the in-
terior department has ever realized, and
Its magnitude unquestionably exceeds the
most Imaginative conception which the
public has ever Indulged.
Falling to recognise their duty to the
members of the Dawes commission upon
whom haa fallen the major share of the
stigma growing out of the Broslus
charges, and realising only in part their
obligation to those whose estate is being

those having the matter of the selection
of an investigator in charge, those for
the duty a man wholly unacquainted with

experience in simlliar work, thoroughly
Irresponsive to the spirit of the West,
and sadly lacking that breadth of view
which experience With all classes under
