FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
From Home and Farm.
Small Farmers.
I sec a letter by .7. A. Davison,
and several others, requesting me
to write for small farmers of the
south. This I thought I had done,
and was doing all the time, for I
have long known that on large
farms where many negroes were
worked, cotton was the only crop
that could be raised, as negro labor
is too uncertain and careless to ever
handle profitably a stock farm.
It is to the small farmers that the
south must look for regeneration,
and to lift the cotton states out of
the mire into which tho “all-cot
ton” theory has placed them. In
the south there are a large majori
ty of the farmers who own the
farms on which they live, and it is
to those especially tnat I will write.
The man who rents land and moves
every year can do nothing with
stock, especially in a country where
stock runs at large. If he wishes to
raise stock find is unable to buy a
farm, then the best way is to lease
one for a term of years. By this
plan be can make such improve
ments as he needs to take care of
such stock as ho may handle.
The first advice I will give to the
small farmer is to get one-half of
his land in grass, for without grass
no man ever did or ever will live
well and make money. Next, get
you an orchard of all the fruits that
succeed in your country. Then
have a garden convenient to the
house, and he sure that it is well
cultivated. Next, have a truck-:
patch of as many acres as you can
well handle, in which cultivate po
tatoes, peas, beans and melons suf
ficient to do the family and some
to feed to a lot of pigs to make your
meat. Next, sell your mules and
horses and buy the best mares you
can find and raise colts from the
mares that work the crop.
Then get a few good sows to rai«e
your meat and some to sell to your
“all-cotton” neighbors, then as
many good ewes as you can handle
and give them good care. My ex
perience in raising hogs is that
where a farmer is not well pre
pared to care for hogs, the best way
is to get good native sows and cross
with a Berkshire, boar, and that for
new beginners the best sheep to
handle is the native and cross with
a Cots wo Id or Southdown lmck.
And the best way to raise hogs
cheaply is to have a lot or field of
artichokes or chufas for winter
feed, then a field of barley and oats
to turn them on in .Tunc-, then a pas
ture of Japan, red and white clover
upon which they can graze, then
have a patch of early peas to turn
them on as soon as ripe and a suc
cession of peas to keep them grow
ing till corn is fit to feed on, then
they can be fed ten or fifteen days
on corn to finish them off.
By this means pork can be cheap
ly raised and at the same time your
land will become richer every year.
Now, we will compare this mode
of farming with “all cotton” and
you can judge which is best.
We will suppose that you have
your farm all prepared with grass,
artichokes, chufas, etc., and that
you have your fields so divided that
you can put one in corn, one in
peas, one in oats, wheat and barley,
or in any one of them, and the bal
ance in grass. Then your crop can,
by using diligence and care, be
made to net you as follows:
100 ewes with lamb and wool §200
Fifty hogs, average 200 pounds eaeh, 400
Two colts worth $50 each, 100
Five calves worth SO each, 30
You can then purchase and feed five
beeves that will pay a profit of S20
each, 100

er in the south than in the north.
Then why is it, brother farmers,
that you will persist in raising cot
ton ? I know of a farmer that last
year got $S00 for his cotton crop
that required several hands to make
and gather, and sold his pork for
!j;. r >00, that cost but little work or
food. Then there is another advan
tage in farming over cotton plant
ing. It is the enhanced value of
land. When a man cultivates cot
ton alone he only needs about fif
teen acres of land to each hand,
consequently there is much land
that is idle and unproductive, while
if he is a stock raiser, he will need
100 acres to each regular hand on
the farm, and all the land can be
made to pay a fair interest on the
value, mid where the land is poor
much of it should be put in grass
and peas, so as to fertilize it. I have
read much of manuring lands In
the south, with commercial ma
nures, cow-pen and stable manure,
and I never had any faith in them.
First, because no man can afford to
pay $8 to $10 per acre for commer
cial manures; next, the climate of
the south is SO mild that but few
stock are housed, consequently but
little manure is made. >So the
small farmer must depend upon
green crops to manure his land,
and, to do this, nothing is better
than the southern pea and stock to
eat it off.
The pea is better than clover for
several reasons: First, because it
can be used fo benefit in one year,
while it requires two years for clo
ver; next, two crons of peas can be
grown on the same land in one
year; next a crop of peas can be
grown after a crop of small grain,
and then a crop can be grown in
the corn with but little extra ex
pense, and then the peas can be fed
off the land by stock and still leave
all the manure on the ground, thus
getting pay for planting the peas
and getting the manure besides;
and last, they will manure lands
better than clover.
Now, brother farmers; be sure to
make home happy and pleasant;
try to live at home and don’t try to
make money to buy happiness.
You can live as well as any one in
all the land, if you will only try;
you can have a table supplied with
the very best of fruits, vegetables
and meat, if you will only make up
your mind to do it. Then hold up
your head. You are just as good as
any town folks, even if not dressed
so fine.

From the Empire State Agriculturist.
Why do Animals Need Salt.
Professor James E. Johnston, of
Scotland, says : “Upward of half
of the saline matter of blood (fifty-
seven per cent.) consists of common
salt, and tin's is partly discharged
every day through the skin and
kidneys. The necessity of contin
ued supplies of it to the healthy
body becomes sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda (one of
the ingredients of salt) as a special
and indispensable constituent, and
so do all the cartilages of the body.
Stint the supply of salt, therefore,
and neither will the bile be able
properly to assist digestion, nor the
cartilage to build up again as fast as
it naturally wastes, It is better
to place salt where'stock can have
free access to it than to give it oc
casionally in large quantities. They
will help themselves to what they
need if allowed to do so at pleasure;
otherwise when they become ‘salt
— I hungry’ they may take more than
is wholesome.”

you will not be compelled to beg
credit to get food for your family.
In addition to the above profit you
can have some hay to sell if you
haveland enough as there are many
grasses that grow well in the
south and make fine hay, although
I have seen an article in Home and
Farm saying that good hay could
not lie made south of 34 south
latitude, while the fact is now no
torious that Bermuda and Johnson
grass will grow anywhere in the
south, and there are many other
grasses that are fast coming into
notice that grow well.and make
fine hay.
The first and main tiling I will
urge on the small farmer is, to be
sure and make plenty to feed your
family and all stock you have on
the place. After this is done the
rest is easy to accomplish.
It is a shame to the people of the
south that they have so long bought
the food to supply their families,
