Farm Management. 
Farming on Shares. 
A has about 15 acres of land plowed; 
he wishes us to work it next year. He 
would like to put in one acre of onions 
aud three of potatoes, the remainder to 
mangel beets, sweet corn and field beans. 
He will furnish the onion sets and seed 
potatoes; will also furnish a potato dig¬ 
ger if the crop is worth it; we furnish 
remainder of seed and do all the work. 
What share should A get? F. B. 
Ft. Helen, Mich. 
In all such cases of farm partnership 
the general rule is to let the real estate 
offset the labor—each one-third. The 
other third is represented by personal 
property, which will include capital or 
money paid out for labor, fertilizer, seed, 
etc., movable equipment, such as tools. 
In this case you provide labor and the 
other party the land, and each should 
take one-third share as a consequence. 
The other share should be divided in pro¬ 
portion to what you each put up in seed, 
fertilizer or capital. You should also 
have a legal written contract. 
Potato Profits 
A certain loss in potatoes has been\ 
turned into a profit of $30 an acre by more i 
and better cultivation. Keeps the soil mel- - 
low, retains the moisture and kills the weeds.

Landlord and Tenant. 
I have been very much interested in 
the writings on landlord and tenant. The 
man in central Illinois, page 35, is giv¬ 
ing some very good argument, and as I 
have seen the other side of that fruit 
business I will relate. My wife was 
clubbing the fruit from an apple tree, 
and when noticed by the boss, naturally 
she got no more fruit by the use of the 
club. I took up the arguineut from a 
point that the owner of the buildings 
should have at least enough ladder to 
reach top of any building on the farm. 
We all know that in case of fire clubs 
won’t work. The landlord mentions the 
clubbing of peach and plum trees. I am 
a tree surgeon, and I would never allow 
a plum or peach tree to get from the 
reach of an ordinary step ladder. If 
this man would expect his tenants to trim 
trees, lie cannot expect much fruit, as we 
have in this locality about one man in 
20 who actually knows how to trim and 
care for a fruit tree. a. z.

Getting Hay Into Barn. 
In reply to J. F. T., page 12S, the one 
best horse hay-fork is a six-tine grapple 
fork which opens and closes like a clam¬ 
shell bucket. My father has used one for 
over 20 years and it cannot he excelled for 
its work. This one has a lever for dump¬ 
ing, hut I believe the newer ones do not 
have this, which I should consider an im¬ 
provement. This fork takes a large 
amount of material at a trip and dumps 
it in a looser condition to be mowed away 
by hand. With this fork he uses a 4x4- 
inch wood track which has proved en¬ 
tirely satisfactory. Track whether wood 
or steel, should he supported every six or 
eight feet to keep from sagging. I have 
seen rod tracks fastened at each end of 
building, but they strain the frame and 
sag badly. We have always used a horse 
for hay-fork, hut am confident that a 
small gasoline engine would be a great 
economy in time as well as labor. 
R. P. H. 
Responding to your request for experi¬ 
ence in use of hay hoisting apparatus, I 
have used a steel track for 10 years, and 
it appears as good as ever. I have to 
go up to the machine when changing 
sides, hut they are now made that can 
he changed from the floor very quickly. 
I use slings, and I think they will pay 
their cost in saving of time, compared 
with forks. Besides, forks do not work 
very well with rye and oats. I use power, 
and make many other uses of the hoist. 
My grain is cleaned and bagged in the 
basement, and a sling-load of eight bags 
is taken up through a trap-door and de¬ 
posited on the wagon in about the time 
it would take a man to bring one bag 
up on his back. My hay is all baled, 
and by using a pair of ice tongs, a hale 
of hay is lauded on the wagon, or put 
away on a scaffold. In throwing down 
hay for baling, we use the hay fork and 
take a load out of the mow and drop it 
by the baling machine. The tracks can 
be made to run on a curve so you can 
hoist on the main floor and send around 
to the faraway mow, or even to an ad¬ 
joining building. The slings can be made 
to fit any wagon; it is only a question 
of length of ropes. FRANK HYDE.
