i The Farmers.
The most important and most interest
ing portion of the report of the Secre-
ry of Agriculture for thei fiscal year
ended June 30, 1895, which has juet been
made, is that which treats of the present
condition-and probable future of the far
mer! of the United States.
The statistics of the department show
that by the census of J890 there were, in
the United States) 4,564,641 farms, avers
aging 137 acres each and valuod at $13,s
000,000,000, an average of $2,909 each.
Of the total population of the United
States 26,146,000, or 42 per cent, were
engaged in farming, with an average of
six persons to each farm.
Now, according to the official figures,
by, their own labor, with an additional
investment upon each f.rm of about $200
in implements and $800 more in domestic
animals and sundries (making a total
farm plant of $4,000), those families
made for themselves during the year, out
of the products of the earth, a wholesome
and comfortable living. It is further
shown that these same farmers :
"Have, with part of their surplus pro
ducts, also fed all the town pop jlation of
tho United States, poor and icb alike.
Cereals, meats, vegetables, fruits, eggs,
milk, butter, cheese and poultry have
been supplied the village and city
markets of the United States in abund
anco. It is probably safe to say that
rooro than 40,00,000 of American citizens
not living on farms have been so fur
nished with all the necessities and luxu
ries known as products of the varied soil
and climate of the states and territories
of the union.
"During tho fiscal year 1895 tho Uni
ted States oxported to foreign countries
domestic commodities, merchandise and
products aggregating in value $793,000,
000. The aggregate value of the agri
cultural products, included in that sum
was $553,215,317. Of the total exports
Europo received a valuation of $628,000,
000, or 79 per cent, of tho whole.
"Thus American agriculture, after feed
ing itsolf and all the towns, villages and
cities of the United States, has also sold in
the outside, world's markets more than
S5QO,000,006 worth of products. So the
farmers of tho United States have fur
nished 69.68 per cent, of the value of all
the exports from their country during the
year 1895.
"But this large number of consumers,
consisting not only . of our own citizens,
but of tho citizens of all nations, have
not been gratuitously fed, though their
supplies have been constant and abundant.
With sound money of the least fluctuating
buying power money on a -parity with
and convertible into gold the world over
Americap farmers have been remuner
ated for thejx products."
What other large class can say this
much? Take the 22,000,000 laborers
who are not employed in farm work, but
aro- chiefly engaged in operating rail
ways, factories and commerce. Can they
boast that they have all made comfort
able livings, that they have had food
enough and clothes enough for their
families during the hard times that fol
lowed the panic of 1893 ? Not by a vast
deal. Of the working classes in cities
many have barely survived upon their
own resources, while many others have
been largely supported by the charity of
the people in cities. By some strange
instinct, or possibly for reasons based on
experience, when- people fall into mis
fortune and need help, they never flock
to the country, but always to the cities.
The farmers have not been charged
with the burden of giving free support to
millions of working people thrown out of
employment. It has fallen on city popu
lations. Ib is estimated by the Secretary
of Agriculture that the farm products of
all sorts for the past official year were
worth $2,300,000,000, which is consider
ably less than they were officially re
ported at in 1890. Then, declares the
Secretary :
"How can the 42 per cent of tho popu
lation of the United States which feeds
the other 58 per cent and then furnishes
more than 69 per cent of all the exports
of the whole people, bo making less
profits in their vocation than those whom
they feed when the latter supply less
than 31 per cent of the exports of the
country ?'
A great many exaggerations have been
put forth in reference to the amount of
farm mortgages. The Secretary's report
throws the light of truth on the subject.
It shows that in 1890 the total amount of
farm mortgages in the United States
represented only 16 per cent of the value
of the farms as returned for taxation. On
every $10,000 worth of farm property
there was an average encumbrance of
only $1,600.
The amount and average of farm mort
gage indebtedness is less now than it was
in 1890. It must be remembered always
in estimating farm mortgages that a large
part of them is for deferred payments on
the land or its improvements. Bat taking
the actual faets and figures the farms of
the country are less incumbered than
manufactures or any other class of prop
erty whatsoever.
The farmers stood the recent bard
times better than any other class of our
population, and. their general condition
has undoubtedly improved within the last
few years. Atlanta Journal.
r Subsoiling.
The season for subsoiling is rapidly
approaching and we give below some
hints about its value. If well done it
will secure a large store of moisture
from the coming winter rains to tide you
ovet the droughts of next summer.
Irrigation is not always practicable;
first is the scarcity of water; second, the
unevennes of the land; third, lack of
means to put in a plant; fourth, lack of
exponence and change of farm methods;
fifth, the fact that in many seasons there
is sufficient moisture from natural rain
fall, causing enforced idleness of the
plant and a return to the ordinary
methods of farming. Taking all these
difficulties into consideration, a writer in
the New England Homestead thinks that
the most practicable remedy is subsoiling.
He says:
There are few if any seasons t when
crops could not be raised if the natural
rainfall could be retained by eubsoiliugj.
It has many advantages -over irrigation.
A faw acres can be treated each year
until the whole farm has been gone over
No expensive apparatus is needed. Three
heavy horses can run a subsoiler sixteen
inchos desp in an open soil free of stone.
By subsoiling twice, the second time
crosswise, the ground can be stirred to, a
depth of twenty inches, and will bold an
immense amount of water, which, instead
of running off into streams, Js stored for
future use. ' Experiments the past year
have shown that this treatment has
doubled the yield. When the subsoiling
must be repeated it can be done lor half
the original cos t. One great advantage
is that it necessitates no change in the
methods of farming. This is a practical
way of getting the benefits of subirriga
tion. Rural World.
The Raising of Good Horses.
The price of horses has of late been so
reduced that farmers are discouraged in
horse raising. The low prices now pre
vailing are due to a want of demand, on
account of the electric car system, which
has been so generally established
throughout the cities and some parts of
the country tor rapid transportation.
This is, do doubt, in some part the cause
of the weak demand for bornes in the
markets. There is, however, another
cause, which will be found in overpro
duction. A few years ago the horse
craze, as it may be called, prevailed
among farmers, and there was scarcely
anyone who was not breeding either
first-class roadsters or blooded drivers.
For these, for a few years, first class
prices were obtained, and the demand,
which was at the time a fictitious one,
produced by a sort of boom in horseflesh,
produced an oversupply, and now there
are too many horses for the market,
which has for the time been somewhat
diminished by the electrid car lines.
But good horses are always desirable,
and will in tho near future bring better
prices than now. Farmers will under
stand what they need, and for awhile,
perhaps, the-supply will be short of the
demand, but the price will again settle to
a fair compensation for the trouble and
risk in raising good horses. Good family
horses will always be in demand in the
cities and in the prosperous villages.
Cars may carry men to business and
women to their shopping, but there is a
demand, in hours not spent in business,
for a carriage horse to supply a need felt
by almost every welb-todo family, that
may have a restful airing in the country
or in the parks and suburbs of the city.
Farmers would do well to turn their at
tention to raising horses to supply this
want. Horses should be raised of the
best blood, not for the turf, but for the
carriage, and as much care should be
taken in thair training for this purpose
as is necessary to produce good condi
tioned, quiet, trusty horses, suited to
driving through all the bustle and noise
of the city.
This will require time and care in the
trainer, but such horses will always have
a good sale, and can bo profitably raised.
Give us good family horses and the de
mand wil 1 be sufficient to pay tvie pro
ducer a good profit. Farm News.
Sdif " The idea of hatching eggs by
electricity may appear somewhat far
fetched, but electric incubation is not only
being carried on in Germany ,but is grow
ing up into a large industry," says Lights
ning, LondoD. "A Strasburg electrician,
who has been experimenting for three
years, has found that with tho electrical
incubator 90 chickens can ordinarily be
counted on out of every 100 eggs dealt
with."

from a New York Lady for
AYER'S PILLS
" I would like to add my testimony to
thatf others who have used Ayer's
Pills, and to say that I have taken them
for many years, and always derived the
hest results from their use. For stom
ach and liver troubles, and for the cure
of headache caused by these derange
ments, Ayer's Pills cannot be equaled.
When my friends ask me what is the
best remedy for disorders of the stom
ach, liver, or bowels, my invariable
answer is, Ayer's Pills. Taken in sea
son, they will break up a cold, prevent
la grippe, check fever, and regulate the
digestive organs. They are easy to
take, and are, indeed, the best all-round
family medicine I have ever known."-

ff" Although there may bo a differ
ence of opinion as to the amount of time
a young man of limited means should
spend on higher education, few, now
adays, will admit that he should neglect
it entirely. Competition and low prices
especially of farm products, make it nee
esaarv for the successful agriculturist to
be thoroughly informed and capable of
comprehending complex problems, jrrac
tisal experience is a good teacher but the
path of the average young farmer would
be much smoother should he spend some
time at an agricultural college, even if it
be brief. Most of the state institutions
have short wintercourses beginning early
in January. Attend these and get what
you can from them. A long course is
much to be desired, but if this cannot be
obtained take a short one. It will pay.
