Tho results of our labor for the pres-
f , season will soon lie known, and
Whether satisfactory or the reverse, ean-
not now lie changed. However this may
be. a careful review of the year's work,
noting and studying tho causes, which
pave Jed to either success's or failure,
will gradually aid us in our preparations
tor another season. By applying tho
Ruowieiigo gamed from our experience
of tho past year, we may lie able to im
prove upon our successes, and even
glean benefit from our mistakes.
VI1K FAKMEB, AH WELL A8 OTHERS, MUST
STUDY TO 8UCCF.KD.
ill these busy, rushing days of rapid
transit, electric cars, telegraphs and tel
ephones, the farmer who would succeed
must, avail himself of every opportu
nity, watch tho markets, watch every
chance, and he willing to accept every
reliable guide which points him to better
methods. Many thinking farmors now
realizo that
MILLIONS HAVE IIEF.N LOST TO THE SOUTH
by ignorance and carelessness, and many
are applying themselves heart, head anil
hand to tho task of redeeming of lami
lrom tho curse atul tho consequences of
the one-crop system—that gigantic mis
take which lias well nigh ruined us.
t hey realize, too, that, this is a progres
sive age, and that the unthinking, sloth
ful farmer will necessarily he left hope
lessly m the background. Relegating the
political questions of tho hour to tho
rear, let us calmly survey
AOIUCULTUKAI, SURKONDINOS.
How many advantages we have of tho
situation, soil and climate, and how
lightly, even indifferently, wo have
valued them I That 'we have fol
lowed mistaken agricultural methods,
these scarred and worn hill
sides bear mute witness. That we
are confronted by the gravest agricul
tural problems, no thinking man will
deny.
Producing as we do 75 per cent, or the
world s supply of cotton, and thus hold
ing in our grasp the key to tho solution
of our difficulties, why is it that
WE ARE NOT KNJOYlNtt THE PROSPERITY
to which tliis monopoly entitles us?
Why is it that this immense crop, which
should make us rich, has brought only
poverty alike to tho producer and to tho
soil. So much has been said, and I have
already writ ion so repeatedly on this 1
mbjeet that 1 almost hesitate to address
you again on a question, which has been
so exhaustively treated. But when 1
look around over my own state, and con
template tho condition of our farmers
amt their lands, and realize that the same
distinctive policy which lias brought lmt
disappointment and poverty, may he
continued, I cannot remain silent, and I
feel that I cannot repeat too often or
urge with too much emphasis that until
we can come down to a
LEGITIMATE SYSTEM OF AGRICULTURE,
a self-supporting system, we cannot
expect anything more substantial in the
future than wo have have gained in the
past. We are straining every nerve and
exhausting every resource to produce a
crop of cotton, one-third
THE GROSS VALUE
of which goes to the north and west
for breadstuff's alone. None of this is
for meat, for which we also spend mill
ions of dollars. Suppose one-third of tho
land devoted to the’production of cotton
the past season had been put in foal
crops, and crops on which to fatten hogs,
we would now have an abundance of
everything to supply our homo demand,
and instead of a crop of 9,000,000 bales at
01 cents, wo would have had a crop of
6,000,000. worth anywhere from 10 to 15
cents. That I am right in this, is proven
by the recent jump in tho priceof cotton
following immediately upon the unfavor
able reports from tho cotton fields which
point with certainty to a short crop.
The following figures also give the
samo conclusion:
No. Acres
Planted. Bales. Value

I have submitted these figures for
your careful consideration. They show
that we have added immensely to our
cotton acreage, which means also addi
tional guano, meat anil supply hills.
They also show that while we have
more than doubled our cotton crop in
twenty years, the price has been re
duced more than 100 per cent. Turn
which way wo will there is no escape
from tho stern realities of these facts.
Let every mail who roads this article
ponder well over this question. Around
our firesides let us discuss these grave
problems, which are to affect the happi
ness. prosperity and future usefulness of
coming generations, Don’t get disgust
ed and say you have heard this advice
until you are tired of it. Tho hope of
the state, tho stability of our home in
stitutions, turn at last upon whether we
mnko our farms self-sustaining and at
the samo time improve our lands, At a
meeting of farmers last winter, the fol
lowing languago was used:
‘‘Some are lighting tho wolf from the
door, while the wife and little ones are
poorly clad, and the latter growing up
without education. Nearly all the mules
and horses nro mortgaged, and a spirit
of unrest pervades our entiro agricul
tural community. This lamentable con
dition confronts the town as well as the
country. If the hitter dies from poverty,
a speedy dissolution of the former is
inevitable.
“Wo nro to solve a condition, not a
theory. Reduced to its last analysis, it
can be summed up in this sentence:
‘Waste of time, money and energy in
the over-production ot r cotton and the
under production of all tho necessaries
of life.”
Teach this doctrine diligently to your
children. Talk of it when you sit in
your house and when you walk by the
way, when you lie down and you riso
up—bind it for a sign upon your
hand, and write it upon tho
posts of your house, aud on
your gates and carry out its principles
m your farm management.
But, you say, we are in debt. Tell us
how to pay out and save something. We
, answer not by the planting of large crops
I of cotton, but by reducing the acreage,
i increasing the yield per acre, and at tho
j same time planting an abundance of
! food crops. Make terms witlj your cred-

Tho present report being predicted
hugely on tho yield from gathered or
partly gathered acreage looses much of
the uncertainty that attends estimates
based alone upon conditions existing
earlier in the season. The previous re
ports by correspondents for this year are
substantiated by the maturing crops in
nearly every instance. The declino in
indication of the yield of some crops is
due to the fact that the injuries resulting
from unfavorable seasons were of such
n character that the extent of tho damage
could hardly be properly estimated until
later in the season.
COTTON:
In this, our staple crop, tho one upon
which we depend to supply our want*
outside of what wo are able to raise on
the farm, is shown (ho most marked de
cline. Excessive wot weather, followed
by drouth, and this drouth again fol
lowed by excessive wet weather, lias
been tho prevailing character of tho
season. Such weather condition resulted
in shedding and casting of fruit, anil in
rust and rot. The full extent of thr
damage (lone was difficult of determina
tion during the early month, as much of
the crop presents a fine appearance ils to
weed, bnj with maturing shows hut little
fruit, with small and lightly filled bolls.
From many of tho counties, osporially
those located in Southwest Georgia,
comes tlie report that the yield in those
counties of that section 'will be the
poorest ever known. When we consider
the fact that this is a greatcotton pro
ducing portion of our state, tho outlook
fora large yield Is anything but flattering.
And when we note (lie unsatisfactory
conditions and discouraging reports from
all over the date, with the great reduc
tion in acreage and in tho uso of com
mercial fertilizers, we can safely predict
that during tiie past decade Georgia has
not produced so small a crop as that of
tliis year will be.
If the decrease yield promisod was the
result alone of a reduction in the acreage
we would have much cause for congrat- -
lation, and as it is, tho gratifying reduc
tion that was made will do'much to
wards lessening the total yield.
Tho recent report from ' toe New Or
leans cotton exchange shows that tho re
ceipts so far tliis year are smaller than
those of ally year since 1888. This indi
cates that the reports on acreage sent
out by the heads of tho agricultural de
partments of the various cotton states
are correct, also that the crop has suf
fered from unfavorable seasons in all tho
states. The decrease in promised yield
is making itself felt on the market not
withstanding the enormous surplus car
ried over from last year, and under this
influence the price lias already advanced
over three-fourths of a cent" from the
low price of tho summer months. That
supply and demand govern our great
product, like all other products, is em
phasized by this advance, and it brings
pointedly before the farmers that if they
want a remunerative price for their cot
ton, the yield must he reduced by cut
ting down the acreage, so that a' small
crop will be the result of favorablo and
unfavorable seasons. Speculation un
doubtedly influences the daily fluctua
tions of the market, and may
at times depress it or give
it an unnatural impetus, but compared
by decades the story is one of increas< 1
production and decreased prico. In the
monthly talk of tho Commissioner will
ho found a tabulated statement of the
number of bales produced and the value
of the crops for several ydars which gives
a comprehensive view of tho wliolo mat
ter. The world, tt wouldseem, has about
$400,000,000 to pay for its cotton clothing,
tliis sum tho cotton growers will receive
whether the crop bo a large or a small
one. It is to be hoped that tho present
upward tendency of the market will con
tinue until such figures are reached that
cotton may be made at a profit. While
tho crop is backward, yet nearly all of it
Will be ready for market at an early
date, for while tho first bolls that
mature are ten days to two weeks late, yet
as there is but little August fruit upon
the plants nearly all the bolls will soon
he open and ready for picking. This
may operate against the farmer by caus
ing a too rapid marketing and
number of years.

The prospect of pork for this year is
not so good as that for lost voar. Where

number of venrs it is n goal idea to give a feel of

cows will stand more quietly and give
down their milk more freely while eat-

rhe milking should bo done rapidly,
talcing care, however, not to exert too
much strength in closing tho hand, so
ns to brume the teats, or to thrust the
hand against tho udder. It should pro

nml is uneasy, work more cautiously,
but do not givo up, nor get in a passion

When the milk is drawn it should be
taken out of the stable at once, aud put
where it will not bo exposed to any foul
odors ev*i to tho breath of tho cattlo.
1 he strong smell so often noticed in the
milk, is usually due to either tho fine
particles of dust from tho udder, or the
lack of the ventilation in tho Rtaliles and
a neglect to remove the milk at once
If not to bo traced to either of these it
may be found that the cow herself Is in

If the milk is of that sort in which
the cream rises rapidly, it should be
strained at once.
Cattle are as much bonofltted by daily
grooming as aro horses, but it should be
done with a gentle hand.
If farmers will break up any rich
basins or other good lands that they are
not cultivating, from first of May till
l.ith June, harrow well and smooth, and
save tho splendid native hay that will
coino up spontaneously, they will not
have so many poor, scrub cattle and
mules,and will luxuriate on rich milk and
butter during the cold months of winter.
GEORGIA HAY.
Mr. Culpepper farther stated that
cattle and horses would forsake tho
western hay for tho sweeter anil more
nutritious hny cut and cured front our
nutivo grasses.
His statement is in accord with the
experience of ninny of tliis section, no
tably Mr. S. P. Salter, a stock raiser of
long and large experience, both in this
section and in the blue grass regions of
Kentucky. Mr. Salter’s statement to
tho efiect that our native grass cut and
cured mado the best hay in tho world,
was at first received with a grain or two
of salt, until actual experience had
demonstrated that ho was evidently cor
rect.
There is an almost unlimited demand
for liny in Albany at tiffs season, mul
our farmers could cut and cure a larger
quantity, and they could dispose of it ut
remunerative prices.
Some planters manifest a disposition
to cut and cure more hay, while others
a,ro disinclined to cut tho grasses from
their lands under the impression that it
impoverishes the soil. It certainly will
impoverish soil unless it is generously
fertilized. But that is tho key to tho
situation in this country. Wo rely too
much on the imstiniula'toil product ion of

Tlie greatest needs of the farmers of
today is information in tlnar calling
To supply this want they should take
and read agricultural journals, anil from
them drink in that which would enrich
tlier minds, flier fieids, their graueries,
their pockets. Their families would
grow up more wise, more useful, and
society would lie vastly benefited and
agricultural resources would lie de
veloped at a more rapid and profitable
rate.
Every farmer should produce as near
as possible on his farm all supplies for
his family and stock; also fertilizers to
maintain the fertility of his soils.
The time has come when furmers must
he more observing, more thoughtful and
more determined to understand their

reach. When they will do this success
will no longer he a question.
Our most non-productive lands, which
have grown up in sedge grass anil aban
doned as worthless, can tie mado to pro
duce a good average crop of cotton or
corn tlie first year at little expense. In
the fall, with a good turning plow and
rnllirg colter, turn under the sedge grass
and other green master, and let it remain
so all winter. Tho grass will all be
rotted by spring and tho action of the
frosts and rains will pulverize tlie worst
turf land, then byrobedding anil the use
of a cutaway or some other improved
harrow, you are ready for planting, and
not be troubled with grass. I have tried
it and have been eminently successful.

CHEESE AS Foop PRODUCTS.
In the care, tho feed and housing of
cows is where tho foundation of really
hue dairy products must always be laid,
it .lie proper conditions exist hero, they
will bo very apt to he followed up by
11 *i t0 l iro l”‘ r nn'l necessary conditions
u , ' v,| y through; but unless thero is
such a foundation, no future exercise of
skill. or careful' manipulation own offoct
the finest products.
If these are all right, and overy dairy
man knows what that means without a
categorical statement, tlie next thing
that demands attention is the caro of
milk from the tune it is drawn and up
through nil the processes of manufac
ture. All elements of uncleanliness
must bo carefully excluded from the
milk and from all utensils of the dairy,
not only because they are objectionable
in themselves, but because they promote
lormentr.Hm aud decay. Every point
about tho dairy should be so constantly
clean and well eared for that the owner
would at ail times take pride in showing
a customer around, and with tho ful
confidence that an inspection would add
to the good opinion formerly enter
tamed.
Not only are these products often of
inferior quality, but at times they be
come actually dangerous us articles of
human food.
The reason given for exorcising tliis
extreme cleanliness is, that it is now
known that all tho changes of decompo
sition m tho milk from healthful ani
mals, are due to the introduction into
tho milk, after it is drawn from tlie
cow, of low forms of lifo. These germs
cause souring, make tho milk ropy, blue,
etc. Milk drawn absolutely clean, into
chemically clean vessels, unci then sealed,
will remaim sweet indefinitely.
THE STABLE.
1. This should ho warm, dry, well
ventilated, well lighted, hut without
dratts of cold air. Dryness, sunlight
and tresh air aro ns necessary in a stable
to maintain vigor of. cattle, as in a
human habitation. Shutters with mov-
ablo skte which wiH darken tho stable
while still permitting tho circulation of
mr, are very desirable for summer uso.
2. The stable should be kept scrupu
lously clean, if first-class dairy products
ai e desire, and abundance of straw or
sawdust, or dried peat, and even of dry
earth, may bo necessary to absorb all of
the liquid excreta, tho effort being to
nbsorb this at onco.
3. As disinfectants and purifiors of air
in stables, a frequent use of white wash
on tho walls and wood work, and of
ground plaster, sprinkled over tho floors
is neeesaary. By the frequent use of
wluto wash and plaster wo may keep
tho air of a stable sweet and pure. Tlie
mangers should bo kept thoroughly
clean. They should bo frequently
washed out with strong salt and water
otherwise mold will grow in them, espe
cially in tho corners. This mold taken
into tho stomach may produce inflftimna-
tion of that organ, nml it is also npssilile
that it may produce tho disease Known
as lump jaw.— Independent.

THF FARMER DEFRAUDS HIMSELF.
The average farmer cleaves to tlie
ideas of his ancestors and feeds out his
winter supply alike to his mixed herd,
equally surprised if tliis one gains or
that one loses. He does not feed grain
“because lie cannot afford to buy it,”
and he will not raise it, because lie can
buy it cheaper. His animals aro simply
machines for converting crops into ferti
lizers. Instead of keeping a few at a
profit, lie keeps many at a loss. But
whatever our calling in life, wo should
always ho ready to lift a hand against
this ruinous practice. With the means
at our command, better things aro ex
pected of us than simply to follow the
footsteps of our fathers. Economy in
feeding is tho great study of today, and
if wo do not contribute our individual
support to its solution, reproach will full
our own heads.
