ABOUT GREEN MANURING Value of Raw Manures Com pared with Stable Manure. Some farmers have asked us whether rape is a good green manuring crop. The seed of this crop are not raised on the farm in this country and are so expen sive that we have not advised the use of this plant as a green manure. We usually think of rape as a pig, lamb, or chicken feed for the fall, winter and spring and hardly think it a wise practice to plow so good and so : expensive a crop into the ground for manurial purposes. Howev er, for the information of those farmers who desire to know its value we append the following table, which shows rape to rank high as a green manuring crop. It is about as rich in fertilizer el ements as rye and in view of the fact, that a great deal heavier tonnage can be grown to the acre its importance as a green manure stands out very prominently. It is very likely that many farmers who read these articles have hauled oak leaves and pine straw into the barn lot during the late fall and winter to be used as bedding for the cattle. Did you ever question the value of this apparently worthless ma terial? I have hauled so much of it myself and was so astonish ed when I came to know its real value that I decided to include the analysis of these materials in the following table: POUNDS PEK TON Nitrogen Phosphate Potash Rape (Green) 9 3 7.2 Oak Leaves 20 4 7 Pine Needles 18 4 2.6 Cow M (Fresh) 7.6 1.6 7.3 H. M. (Fresh) 8.7 1.9 7.3 Com Fer 8-2-2. 40 160 40 Aren’t you surprised to find common oak leaves carrying as much nitrogen as half a ton of 8-2-2 commercial fertilizer? And to find more than twice as much phosphoric acid and almost as much potash in a ton of fresh horse or cow manure? We now see that we were adding manure to manure when we used this material as bedding. Os course we all know that the plant food elements of all those green raw manuring crops are not available to the crop till they have undergone decay in the soil but this process generally goes on rapidly enough during the spring and summer months and we do not have to wait long for returns. Next we expect to discuss the handling of green manures in the production of the different farm crops. J. L. Burgess, N. C. Department of Agriculture. Penurious Policies. Commissioner Edwards of New York, discussing the penurious policy of a western city, said to a reporter: “It reminds me of Grimes. Gfimes, you know, was a rich Pike county farmer. One dread ful winter day he was discovered on a lonely mountain path dig ging away like mad in the frozen showdrifts. Though it was zero weather, Grimes was stripped to his undershirt, and amid the white snow clouds flying from his shovel he could be seen all red with effort and dripping with perspiration. “What in the world is he do ing?” a traveler asked, as he: looked with awe at the great holes and tunnels cut by Grimes in the snow. ‘H-sh,’ said a bystander, ‘he’s lost a nickel.’ ’’—Washing ton Star. Daughter Hadn’t Noticed. Daughter was on the carpet for a lecture. “I saw you kissing that young I man last night*” declared mother. “He caught me under the mistletoe, ma.” “He did, eh? If you ever did any housework you would know that that mistletoe has been in the ash barrel for a week.” Fine, extra value cabbage plants, for sale at Peterson’s store, Ailey, Ga. j; Pythian Notes. Intended for last week. The Pythian Literary Society met in the Freshman room Sat urday, March 3, 1912, and was called to order by the President. Roll was called by the Secretary. Officers were elected for the next month. The following programme was rendered: Reading—John Emmitte. Jokes and Wants —Emma Ed wards. Conversation —Homer Newton, | Edward Coleman and Lake Peddy. Prophecy—Rita Mae Outler. Reading—Jurelle Calhoun. Debate: —Resolved, that wo man should practice law. Affirm ative, Rita Mae Outler and Bes sie Higgs; negative, Blance Brad ley and Dorcas Mcßae. After the rendering of the pro gramme, business was attended to and songs and yells were practiced. The decision of the judges was rendered in favor of the affirma tive. Society was adjourned to meet again next Saturday. The society is progressing nicely. There is a fine co-oper ative spirit. The same air of friendly rivalry is still manifest between the Damons and the Pythians. Walter Lee, Pres. Emma Edwards, Sec. Martha Pool, Cor. Sec. Out Os The Ginger Jar. Where did the house fly? We want our eggs fresh, but not the cook. Light housekeeping is apt to make heavy bread. The history of the average man is largely foot notes. It is much easier to write a note than it is to sing one. The rent in the clothes will not pay the rent of the house. A poli ical rooster is of little account in the poultry business. Whether a miss is as good as a mile depends upon the miss. There is a big difference be tween a butterfly and a fly in the butter. Some folks forge ahead and some forge themselves into the penitentiary. A farmer does not need a med ical diploma in order to be able to cure pork. When the wolf is at the door we are not likely to have any other callers. Deafness can seldom be cured, yet many a man is given his hear ing in the police court. After all, the crank keeps things moving, whether in the machine shop or in society. It is a good thing that a man can change his mind without be ing obliged to change his clothes. All careful poultrymen stamp their eggs, but that does not en title them to the privileges of the mails. Some folks spend so much time j trying to preserve their dignity ; that they have little leisure for ■ anything else. Hens are great thieves, they are constantly stealing their ! nests; but then the houtewife I steals their eggs and thereby sets a bad example. J. P. Morgan can raise ten ! million dollars on his check any I minute; but the man who is rais ing a large family on $9 a week Sis a greater financier than Mor-1 gan. —From Mar. Farm Journal. Money to Loan.

The lender that will handle my business is especially desireable for parties that want big loans on farm lands, and for those who want to build homes in towns. Their interest is 6 per cent. Terms five years, the borrow pay ing 1-10 each year thereby re ducing the interest, and princi pal so the final settlement will be easy. The money for building or improving homes in towns is also 6 per cent, money, and the loans are arranged so the bor rower repays monthly for 60 months. You only have to add a little to the amount you are paying as rent to own you a home in a short time. I think this a good way for a person to get a home. L. C. Underwood, Mt. Vernon, G«.
