“He comes back to this country

came in c intact with many who had
gone to the land of milk and honey,

brother by emigration -agents, from
Georgia, and say a they are doing fair*

The bishop, however, does not believe
in sending the scum of his race to
Africa, but mainly, be thinks, the
obances for prosperity are with the
intelligent negro who r*s to Africa.
Common laborers, be says, can be
had in abundance there for 25 cents
a day, and the negro in this country
could not compete with them. His
idea is to encourage the colonization
of emigration of negroes capable
employing the natives and helping to

Cpportnnity of beginning tho'
repairs
on outbuildings and fences, so ncccssarv
to the appearance of the farm, as well
08 the absolute comfort of farm life.
Neftt, trim, well kept buildings, gar
dens and fences are an advertisement
for any neighborhood. They give an
ftir of thrift and prosperity that noth
ing olid will. Let us resolve that,
Come wnat taay, we will return to
legitimate farm methods, raise our
home supplies, beautify our homes and
enjoy the prosperity which will once
again be ours. To begin, let uS arrange
to raise our own
HOGS.
This we cannot do by purchasing a few
wellbred sows and tnrning them into
some old fields, which, on account of
its convenience to stable and barn, has
been kept fenced and called a pasture.
Prepare for pasturing by enclosing
some land, and this fall seed it to clover.
Nothing so improves your land, and v.o
finer food for farm animals cau be pro
duced. Then sow on the same land
with the clover your small grain, to
come on in the spring, which being cut
off, leaves the clover ne a foundation
for your venture in meat raising. Be
cause a hog is a hog, don’t decide that
hit treatment should be hoggish. Give
him uniform good attention, shelter
from the weather, regular food and
ffater aud keep him free from vermin.
Nothing so contributes to tho destruc
tive 4isea*es to which the. hog is sub
ject, as filth, insufficient and irregular
food and undestroyed swarms of ver-
10in. These points cannot be guarded
too carefully. Cleanliness and plenty

, it will not l»e amts to call his
attention to tho fact that with moder
ately favorable weather, he has it in

Proparo your old bed thoroughly; if It
has been mulched, so much .
for the second crop. For seed, select
the medium size potatoes from the first
crop, dry thorn in tho shade for a few
days, and then replant tho bed, just as
iu the_ spring, except that instead of
cutting" the potato, tho whole
tuber is planted. Coyer with the plow,
and mulch heavily. With rains, the
crop will bo fine. Of course a drought
will ent off the yield, but .even under
unfavorable conditions, tho crop will
generally be a* good one. You can
leave thorn in the ground all winter,
digging as you need them, only being
careful to keep them heavily mulched,
and your table .will bo supplied with
fresh and mo§t delicious potatoes. They

Prepare your beds now for ruta
bagas. A mellow, highly fertilized
soil is essential to the successful growth
of root- crops. Thoroughly dotted sta
ble manure and phosphates are good.
Later, sow tlio other varieties. If the
bugs and insects are troublesome, try
Pyretlieuhi powders.
LATE CABBAGES.
Get your bed prepared fur the plants,
which should now bo ready to set out.

plemented with phosphates, on which
clover, peas aud rye are sown, that we
can reasonably hope for success. Ap
plying a few hundred pounds of highly
available, prepared fertilizer, directly
under tho plants, which food is often
exhausted before the plants attain ma
turity, can, in tio sense, be said to re
store fertility or permanently improve
our lands, we can’t continue to take
a small amount from a given quantity
of anything tor an indefinite period, and
expect to retain tho original quantity.

’ rodder pulling and saving hay./
This question has been so often dis
cussed, and there is such a. diversity
of opinion.as to whether tho fodder
should bo pullod or left on the stalk,
that I will only give xpj own experience
more active work season. We must
wake up to th? important facts that
more food crops of all kinds are needed
ou the majority of Georgia farms. As
our scasous afford ns every opportunity
for making ample food supplies, why
should we continue tho old mistaken
policy?
PLANTING PEAS.
Wo would again urge tho importance
tf sowing peas A3 $ renovfltof and to in
sure an uniple forage supply. In the
lower part of the state tills has been
done to a great extent, but in northofn
Georgia, where the grain crops have
just been harvested, now is tho tim& to
plow iu tlio peas ou tlio stubble, afid in
laying by tho.corfi to sow them, feithir
broadcast or in the drill, according t2>
the quality of the land and distance of
the corn.
MANURING.
One of the least understood, and yet
one of tho most important items
ing our farm economy is then. .
and saving of every element found or
lirought on the farm which can be con
verted int6 plant food. There has been
so little apparent interest in this ques
tion, find so little attention paid to it
that it wilt require time aud a thorough
diScfiSsioii beforo we can appreciate its
gVave import. Under present condi
tions, tnoueanus of pounds of the most
valuable materials nre allowed to go to
waste each year for the lack of that
care and knowledge so necessary to pre
serve, uninjured, the different elements
of plant food. Most farmers consider
these matters too small to require much
thought or attention, but it lithe neg
lect of those small leaks ou the farm
which causes heavy outlays of time and
money, when the farmer can ill afford
to pay either. For instance, how many
farmers who read this article realize
that the elements pf fertility
urine of stock contain just as much
r iant food as the most solid excremcn?
mention this because, on most farms,
there is absolutc-ly no provision male
for absorbing and holding these valua
ble materials. We cannot adequately
calculate the waste on this one item.
Again, many farmers who keep their
stables well supplied with absorbents,
in the way of leaves or straw, together
with dry dirt, muck or land plaster, yet
lose much in the process of fermenta
tion—tho ammonia being allowed to os-
cape—and tho materials which they
have collected at considerable outlay of
time and labor, become valueless, ex
cept as a mulch on worn land, or to be
plowed under to prevont the land from
running together. A little rnoro atten
tion just
see that tho pile was kept moist and hot
allowed to decompose too rapidly would
have insured a fine supply of perfect
plant food. On the other hard, too
much moisture delays this process of
fermentation, which wo have been try
ing to advance.
Another important consideration in
making manure is the quality and
character, as well as the quan
food supplied to the animals,
richest manures will bo furnished by
stich highly concentrated food as cotton
iqeq mear and linseed meal, Noxt
come peas, beans and clover; then the
E ains, and lastly the roots. One fact
patent, that is that there can be no
>re fertilizing materials in the oxcre-
ments than wore preseut in the food.
Therefore from poor food we can only
.expect a poor qnqJity of manure, Tha
urine contains.iuost of the nitrogen and
dearly all the potash. How important,
th«m, to preserve its elements, aud see
that they go back on our lands. Another
source from which a good supply of
■ best fertili*1 tig materia! can ho x*eallzed
is-the trash pun. into which all the
waste from the hor.-o and yard should
be thrown—Hile vea- fr«>m the yard,

cli wo eujov in soil, climate and
wAter, let us begin now to shape our
farm policy on the building up and im

ed to the beet means of obtaining these
results. It bos tokyn years of mistaken
farm policy to bring us to our presont
condition; it will require time and a
heavy expenditure of thought, muscle
and money to put us back where we
started, and in the struggle, this ques
tion of proper methods of manuring

intelligent and practical man
ner is cue of the absorbiug needs of the
times, and to meet it successfully should
