PLANT IT, GROW IT, SAVE IT.
Plant grass, grow grass, save grass,
18 the motto of thesuccessful farmer
of to-day. Don’t be afraid you will
get too much forage on hand. You
never saw a farmer in this country
who had more hay or fodder thanhe
could sell. You never saw a horse,
cow or ox that complained that his
master’s crop of grass was too great,
‘but you have seen thousands ot hor
ses and cattle whose leanness was a
living protest against the manner in
which his master allowed good grass
to grow, ripen and die uncut.
It is not too late to plant forage
corn or many varieties of millet.
Plant them, friends, and keep your
stock tat and happy all next winter
and start them out for the year’s
work in good condition. Every
farm has thousands of grass on it.
Every little branch bottom has
either grass or wild clover on it and
all the moist places in your corn
field bring forth an abundant yield
of grass after the corn is laid by.
It is not too late to plant peas for
forage, but the millet or corn will
pay you better. Don’t let another
winter come without finding you
with an abundant supply of forage
to keep all your stock 12 months,
but try and have a big lot of it to
sell. There is more money in grass
than there is in cotton. Plant it.
Grow it. Save it.—Alliance.
PROFITS. ‘
The New York Times figures it
out that the average farmer’s income
is fully thirty per cent. of his capi
tal.
Suppose, says the Times, that a
farmer should move to the city. He
would have to spend twenty per
cent. of the value of his farm in
household expenses in order to gse
cure all the comforts of his old life
in his new home. Then, there is
another thing to be considered.
The farmer works less than the
average business man. He has
more freedom, and it is easier for
’him to take a day off than it is for
{ the city toiler. The risk of loss in
farming is smaller than it is in al
most any business in the city.
This encouraging view of the
farmer’s profits is fully sustainedjby
the facts of the case. The small
farmer, for instance, the man who
has from three to five thousand dol
lars invested in land, stock and im
plements, will get a better living out
of his property than a merchant
with the same capital. The fact
that when farmers borrow money or
buy supplies on time they pay a
bigger interest than any other class
of people show that, however much
they grumble, their work is profit
able beyond many lines of industry. i
Many farmers think they get a
very poor return for their labor be
cavse they do not accumulate mon
ey. This is not the way to look at
it. When a man with only a few
thousand dollars, makes a first class
living for his family, without run
ning much of a risk, he is doing
well, and this is precisely what the
average farmer is doing.

A YALUABLE PONY.
~ Willacoochee News: Abouttwelve
or fourteen years ago Mr. Elijah Tan
er brought from Texas a wild Texas
pony, which he traded to Col. J.M.
Denton of this couniy. The pony,
which we shall call “Old Ball,” was
not ail complacent, but was high
headed, stiff-necked, independent
creature. The Colonel lost his hold
one day, when Ball put out at
break-neck speed, seeking refuge in
the forrest, creeks swamp. The
colonel followed in hot pursuit, but,
after an unsuccessful chase of sever
al days, left him in a bay in Pierce
county and returned home, thankfu!
‘that the wild “varmint was gone.
About six months later Col. Denton
learned sor.e negroes had captured
and in measure tamed Ball, and had
cultivated their crops with him. The
colonel sent tor him, and soon had
him in the fold again. Ball, still re
tained his stiff-neck kicking qualities
which led his owner, for a great sum,
to trade him to Mr. H. Peterson,who
put him upon a mail route, carrying
‘the mail from Douglas to Blackshear
and Pearson, which held about sev
en years, earning more than $3,000.
Mr. Peterson traded the horse twice,
but somehow he would fall into his
possession again. Last winter he
sold him to Mr Gaskin, of this place,
who would not sell him for twice the
sum he paid tor him. Ball is con
sidered one of the toughest and best
traveling horses in the country.
Gentle usage and good treatment,
for a number of years, has elimina
ted from him his stiff-necked quali
ties, and he is quietly doing his mas
ter’s biddings, with about $4,000 to
his eredit.
All truly scientific farmers are now
agreed that level and shallow after
culture is best for both corn and cot
ton. Deep plowing near the plants,
after they have attained to considera
blesize, lacerates the root and checks
growth. It is surely a root-pruning,
which cannot be otherwise than inju
rious. The plant needsall the feeder
roots it can throw out, and to the ex
tent that these are broken off the
plant is robbed of its ability to take
in from the soil those elements-that
‘contribute to its sustenance and in
sure its growth. But there are cir
cumstance that must be taken into
consideration. The level culture plan
from the start, (as now extensively
advocated and doubtless the best
system), presumes that the land was
deeply and theroughly prepared tor
putting up the crop. Where this has
‘been otherwise or, in other words,
where the land has been carelessly
listed or bedded up, leaving the mid
dles unbroken, (a too a common
practice), shallow and level culture
frcm the start will not do. Those
middles must be broken, and that of
course requires deep plowing. But
for best resultsit should pe attended
to while the plants are young, and
before they have sent their roots
much beyond the line ot the row
proper; after that the land should be
brought to a level as nearly as possi
ble, and all subsequent workings
should be shallow.

overheard one say of her, “By
heavens! she’s painted”! “Yes,” re
torted she, indignantly, and by
heaven only”! Ruddy health man

rose and lily. Yet this beautiful
lady, once thin and pale, with a dry,

slight spitting of blood, seemed
destined to fill a consumptive’s
grave. After spending hundreds of
dollars on physicians without bene
