FARM AND ORCHARD.
Farming Requires a Bright Intellect
and Study.
RnislnK "Wheat—A Sensible Answer to
"Does It Pay to Raise Wheat?"—
Why and How it Pays.
Not many years havo transpired since
it was believed that "anybody could farm
it well enough." The farm became the
•'catch-all" for persons who failed to
make a living at any other or all other
businesses. The bright young men of the
farm were sent to learn professions, but
the mediocre and the numbseulls were
kept at home to till the soil. How poorly
they have done it is proven by the fact
that as a rule, wijlh exceedingly rare ex
ceptions, farming up to dat. in this coun
try has only been a system >. exhausting
tho soil of its plant food, as witness the
abandoned farms ol New England, where
tilling the soil lirst commenced. .\s this
territory filled ui>, fanners pushed on to
New York _late, where the same sy .tern
of soil exhaustion was pursued, and
where now abandoned farms are nu
merous. The farmer loaves a trail of im
poverished soil behind him as surely as a
snake leaves its trail in the sand. Most
of tbis comes of the West talent seeking
other channels of business, leaving the
poorest to till the soil.
It would be better for the country were
there an equitable division ot talent
among the various kinds of employment,
ln two years' time a young man cau be
come a lull-fledged lawyer or doctor; but
farmiug is so much more intricate that a
lifetime is scarcely sufficient to compre
hend it fully, .".ir J. I _ Lawes has de
voted over half a oentury to its study, and
now laments that lie knows so little com
pared with what there is to know. There
is no business or profession that requires
so bright an intellect and so deep study
fully to comprehend aa that ot agricult
ure, and this fact is just beginning to be
realized. To bea successful farmer at the
present day requires constant reading
and experiment. 'Such a one must be a
studious, reflecting man. So many con
ditions and < _nunnstan.es confront him
from day to day, tbat olten hundreds ot
points should be considered before a wi.e
etep can be taken.
These prefatory remarks were induced
by reading an article in a lato English
paper in relation to lean pigs and bacon
pork. Millions and millions of hogs are
grown in tbe West, and in.'h of tiie pork
in the form of bacon and otherwise finds
a market in Great Britain; yet iiow few
pork producers know jnst what quality
of meat that market demands; and if tins
quality is not furnished, of course the
grower must be content with an inferior
price. A combination of English dealers
issued a circular which embraces the fol
lowing statement: "In consequence of so
many feeders continuing to make their
pigs too fat, and the great difficulty wo
find in disposing of over-fat bacon, wo
are obliged to take some verydoiinito
sic- s to obtain leaner pigs." Then tho
circular proceeds to state a scale of prices
which has been adopted, and which is
dependent on the leanness of the pig as
well as on the weight, the leanest but
liluinp) commanding the highest price.
The circular then continues: "We
would impress on feeders the desirability
of breeding only such swine as are of good
frame and growth, and refusing to feed
for bacon purposes all short, thick pigs,
which must prove unsatisfactory to them
as to us. They will undoubtedly best
serve tbeir interests by studying the pub
lic taste, thus creating an increased de
mand and a higher standard o: prices for
their pigs." I commend these remarks
to the consideration of the pork growers
of the West, adding, that th'1 best pigs as
herein described bring in England about
two cents a pound more than the short,
fat pigs, and, of course, this ratio should
prevail here. There might not be any
difference in price in a small quantity,
but in carload and larger lots any large
slaughterors would pay __«__.
The breed has something to do with the
quality of pork most in demand. This
requires a long hog for a good proportion
of bacon sides. He must be thick through
the shoulder and hams, low on the legs,
tbe bones be comparatively small and
the offal of minimum quantity. The
Chester Whites till this bill as well as
any, although the Poland-Chiuas are
about as good. Some other breeds are
medium in these respects, but the Berk
shires, especially as now bred and fat
tened in the West on "all corn," are far
Irom being what is required for best
{) rices. They are too short and '"squab
;y,"' mere lumps of fat, and yet, proba
bly, more of these are fattened in the
"West than of all others combined. And
then tbey are a black hog, which is often
an objection. To a certain extent feed
has more to do with the quality of pork
tiian the breed. Specimens of almost any
breed can be made almost bundle, of
fat by feeding to encourage tbe growth of
fat and not the growth of muscle, as is
largely done in the West when corn is
the sole grain feed.
Tbese same pigs could be made to pro
duce greater weights, with a much greater
proportion of lean meat, by feeding for
both muscle and fat. Breeding sows
should be fed little grain other than wheat
bran and middlings. Spring pigs should
beat pasture in summer and until corn
ripens. Their grass feed should be sup
plemented two or three times a day with
a slop made of bran four parts by meas
ure and one part of middlings. This
will give growth of bone and muscle
both. When corn ripens sufficiently they
can be pushed with that until fat enough
to be disposed of. This course will give
a greater weight of desirable meat than
an exclusive corn diet will of pork not so
desirable. Those who do not grain their
pigs at all through the summer miss
their best opportunity to get the most
value for grain fed to the animals. At
six months of age a Chester White or
Poland-China pig should be made to
weigh 260 or °>00 pounds, with a large pro
portion of lean meat, and the bacon sides
nicely marbleized with a "streak of fat
and a streak of lean."
I do not know as it can be avoided, but
the system prevailing in the West of hav
ing hogs follow cattle and glean from
their droppings is most filthy and repre
hensible. Hogs are naturally the clean
est domestic animals we have, and about
the only ones that will retire to a corner
to void their droopings, if they have op
portunity. They will not pollute their
own food liko horses, cattle and sheep.
But man has made tnem filthy, aud be
sufferers the consequences by thei:
various diseases. Sweet and sullicient
feed of the right varieties, pure water to
drink, clean environment and protection
from inclement weather, are what make
clean, desiraole, profitable pork. The
English claim to have a system of meas
urements and gauges by means of which
the various thicknesses ot fat and lean in
a live hog can be accurately determined.
How shall we farmers learn ail such
necessary things unless we read and
study more than is required of lawyers
and doctors.—Dr. Galen Wilson of Clear
field County, Pa., in the American
larmer and Farm News.
_________ WKEAT.
In estimating the value of a crop of
wheat, the benefits of tillage, the future
benefits to be derived from the manure
used, the grain, the straw, the superior
s-edbed for clover, and the favorable con
dition of the ground alter the wheat is re
moved—all these must be considered in
making up the estimates of cost and pro
fit. The farmer who builds a baru or
fence, or plants a fruit tree, does not ex
pect to get back his outlay in a single
year.
When I obtained possession of my
farm, some seven years ago. it was a
"run-down," and considered one of the
poorest in the township. I took hold of
it as an experiment. I desired to test the
question: "Is there agood living on the
farm?" My constant aim has been: "How
much can I profitably raise to the acre?"
As a rule I use no commercial fertilizers,
depending exclusively upou barn yard
manures, put on the surface every four
SACTRAMT-NTO DAILY RECORD-ITXIOy, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1894.^51X PAGES.
years at the rate of twelve two-horse
I loads of unrotted and eight of rotted to
the acre. The loads are measured in a
; wagon box twelve feet long, three feet
I wide and two feet high. Tlie unrotted
' manure is tramped in the box; the rotted
: is thrown in without tramping.
In estimating the cost and profit of rais
i ing sixty-five cent wheat, I estimate the
[ actual cost of labor, manure, harvesting
! and the maintenance oi tools, teams, etc.
| I have eight days' labor for man and
I team for sub .oiling. I know of no other
; farmer in this locality that uses a subsoil
plow. The soil is a clay loam with a clay
subsoil. Hard-pan is reached at from
twenty to thirty inches. Very few of my
neighbors spend as much time harrowiug
and rolling. A tew raise more wheat per
; acre than I i\o; very many raise much
I less who have as good soil. They fail in
tillage.
Here is a statement of the actual cost
and profit of growing eight acres of
I wheat, which was harvested in Jutj .
I plowed a timothy sod in August, 18-,
I and topdressed with eight two-horse loads
of rotted manure per acre.

This was no unusual yield, and I think
I can be grown on an average on any good
wheat soil. In many localities it is sur
passed. Inasmuch as grain must be
grown in any rotation, 1 contend thut
tio-cent wheat can be profitably grown.
A farmer who is satisfied with raising
eight to ten bushels of wheat to the acre
on a soil and in a location suitable for
j growing wheat has missed his calling,
lie should be a lawyer or a minister, and
| thereby use his talent for "talk" to some
! purpose. Such farmers could demon
strate that it did not pay to raise corn,
oats, barley, potatoes, hay or garden
truck; that it did not pay to keep milch
cows, or sheep, or hogs, or steers; in
short, lhat it did not pay to farm. And
from their standpoint and experience,
they are right. They know all about
finance. tariiV reform, politics and neigh-
I DO-hood gossip, and they will never for
give Adam for not taking an appeal from
j the decree entered in court in the Garden
: ot I'den: "in the swear of thy face shall
thou eat bread."
'!'. I . Tony, Waldo P. Brown, Profes-
I sor Chamberlain, John ('ould and others
|of your correspondens, have repeatedly
shown "how to make the farm pay." In
this community, and in every commun
ity, are farmers who honor their calling,
whose well-tilled farms, neat larm build
ings, well-filled barns anil comfortable
bank accounts prove that it pays to farm.
In these times of distress no other class
of men are so comfortably fixed. Every
! surplus pouud of butteI',1 ', lard, pork, inut
' ton and beef; every surplus bushel of
grain and potatoes; every surplus ton of
j hay—in short, every surplus articlo
j the farmer produces—can be sold for cash
iat fair prices. There never was a time
' tbat the farmer could exchange the pro
j ductions of the farm on more favorable
! terms with the merchant and manu-
I facturer. It is true some, possibly many,
I farmers are involved; that is the result
| largely of bad judgmeut or bad manage
i ment. So are many merchants, nianu
i facturers and other business men. Some
farmers have nothing to sell. Has not
j the season been fairly fruitful? "If they
sow not, neither shall they reap." While
: men in other vocations are out of employ-
I ment, and they and their families are
witliout food and clothing, because they
cannot get work at any wages, the
thoughtful, industrious and frugal farmer
is surrounded with plenty now, and con
fidently looks forward to a plentiful har
vest next year.
It pays not only to farm, but it pays to
be a progressive, industrious, intelligent
farmer. There are worse tbiugs in the
world than 65-ceut wheat. -Country Gen

Ih Have Been Wise
IN THE PAST
Are those wbo have taken ad
vantage of the opportunity to pur
chase small tracts of land near
large cities when those tracts are
first offered.
WORKING PEOPLE OF SAC
RAMENTO HAVE WISDOM and
need only a little urging. We are
doing the urging, and ask that an
inspection be made of the
Denson Villa Tract,
A pretty piece of ground that we
have subdivided into tracts of 2J
to 14 acres, which we can offer at
a reduced price that will defy
competition, and upon terms that
are so easy that the purchaser
hardly feels the payments. The
land is only one mile from the
electric car line, on two country
roads, with avenues already
graded leading to the roads. The
land now not planted to trees or
vines is eminently adapted to
berries of all kindc, the profit on
which is very large. Now is the
time to begin to prepare the land
for plants.
We will give anyone meaning
business a good chance to get a
home with little money down.
Four years to pay the balance.
Interest 7 per cent, per annum.
Remember, tlie Price is Reduced
And the terms made easier than
ever.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Landfor $10
to $20 per Acre.
The Pacific Improvement Company has re
cently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from flrst
class Saciamento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is oflered at
from $10 to $20 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 120, 160 and 320 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are ofl'ered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
in «_nt of interest only I'or three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the flrst of Aye equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin
cipal is to be paid lor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have Aye years in wbich to
pay Aye equal annual installment*, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are __-
cured that this Is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $10 per acre,
and j_ood agricultural land at $20 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to corre
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made th»t good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es
pecially adapted for Iru it-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $60 to
$100 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $20
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SIO an acre, on terms of
paymc-nt which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of thia
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
