c Farm Department Devot*4 to tfc* Iittrtiti ?( Tho?? Eagaled id Airicallnral Parauila. Condacird by J M. Btaly I Extensive and Intensive Farming. Oor readers frequently read about ??tensive and Intensive farming. We bava been talking about It off and ea our selves of late, and it has oc curred to us that these worda ex tensive and Intensive may not con vey a very definite and c!?ar Idea to tho mind of the averagafarmer. Therefore wo are going to talk a little about them. When wo speak of extensive farm ing, wo naturally think of tie man who farms large areas, and of the Intensive farmer as one who farms a small area. Now tho acreage cul tivated has hot necessarily any re lation whatever to what wc under stand an extensive and intenslvo farming. Intensive farming, to our mind, moans the expenditure of tho amount of time, labor and money that will produce a crop at the greatset prof It, keeping in vl> w the maintenance ?f fertility and the physical condition ?f tho soil. Now a man may farm a very large area on this principle, and yet be an Intensive farmer; or he may cultivate a small acreage In ?uch a manner as to loso money In the operation, or If ho do?s not lose money, produce his crop at a much higher cost than is accessary; or no may cultivate eith er a large or a email area In such a way as to so decrease the fertil ity of the soil that the cost of pro duction In future years will con stantly Increase as the product di minishes. Intensive farming does not necessarily involve the c af possible yield per r per acre with the gr. possible profit. For example, it is possible to take a ten acre field, and by a li beral use of fertilizers on uaturally good soil, produce a bumper crop, but a' a cost that would leave no room for profit. The intensive farmer al ways looks at tho profit end. Much of our farming is done ex tensively. The extensive farmor generally aims to cover a broad acre age, and over this broad acreage he distributes the labor that he may have or that he may be able to em ploy He falls down in not prepar ing a proper seed bed, or in the caso of corn in not giving It pro per cultivation He has to pay rent for Ills land, or if net rent, he ex pects interest; and ho is less able to pay the rent or receives less Interest, simply because ho put thi i labor on eighty acres which ho j should have put on forty. Again, he may produce a fino i rop at the min imum of expense this year; but if he has not arranged his rotation and applied his fertilizer, whether natur al or artificial, with a view to main Uining the fertility of the soil, ho I will be a loser in the end. jT.iensive farming is simply good farming, keeping in view not the present alone, but the future also, giving to the land that cultivation and care and fertilization and the rotation that it requires to maintain its fertility and still produce crops i at minimum of cost. The farmer may thus practice intensive farming on h half or quarter section, git tag it nil the labor that it needs; the toiation that it needs, the fertiliza tion that it needs; or he may prac tice extensive farming, that is, 1 poor farming, on forty acres, on twen ty, or even on ten. Don't get it in to your mind that, the man who faims a large acreage, or extensively, Is therefore an extensive farmer; or thi'.t the man who farms a small acre age and poorly is an intensive far bit. Intensive farming is just good farming, giving all the labor that 1 U needed, all the care that is need ed, maintaining fertility and grow iog cropa at the highest profit pos sible.?Wallace's Farmer.

The peculiarity of this form of phosphate is that tt has not been treated with acJd. As a result its content of soluble phosphoric acid Is comparatively small. On the other hand It contains about twice as much total phosphoric acid as do the aver age acidulated phosphates. Hy the American standards Thomas phosphate contains about 26.5 per cent of total phosphoric acid. Of this total 3.5 per cent Is so called soluble. Acid phosphate contains about Id per cent of total and about 14 per cent of solublo phosphoric acid. The European standard of analysis and American practical experience seem to agree that much of the phosphoric acid not classed as "solu ble" In Thomas phosphate Is never theless available to plants. Tho char acter of the crop, however, deter mines tho real value of this form of fertilizer. For quick growing crops like early vegetables acid phosphate, or other acidulated phosphate, la pre ferable because of Its quicker ac tion. For slow growing crops like cot ton, grains, permanent mowings, or chards, groves, and vineyards, Tho mas phosphate is both economical and satisfactory. For crops Injurious ly Influenced by the sulphuric acid usod in making acidulated phosphate^ Thomas phosphate is an ideal fer tilizer. Tobacco and pineapples are chief among the crops to which this fertilizer is particularly adapt ed.?Southern Rurallst. Every family has need of a good, reliable liniment.
