Blue Bird. ir —- Farming On A Few Acres. (Prize Letter in Home & Farm.) Editor Home and Farm: Believing that my experience in intensive agriculture on a small scale may be of some in terest and profit to readers of Home and Farm, I give here an example of one of the ways I ro tate: Last spring, after putting out my onions, I had about one-fourth of an acre of ground left which I decided to plant in Italian beans. This I did on May 9, planting them in rows three feet apart, using commercial fertilizer in the rows. I worked them with a five-tooth cultivator, and laid them by on June 20 with an ordi nary potato plow, which throws the dirt both ways. In the fur rows thus made I planted pota toes, using commercial fertilizer in the row. On the sth of July I gathered forty bushels of beans which I readily sold at SI.OO to $1.25 per bushel. On July 12 I picked ten bushels more, getting SI.OO per bushel for them, making alto gether $55.00 for the crop of beans. The potatoes were now. begin ning to show up nicely along the rows, so I pulled up the old bean vines, carried them off and culti vated the ground down level, leaving my potatoes in fine shape. 1 worked them regularly with cultivator till August 10, when 1 laid them by, as I did the beans, and in the furrows between the rows I planted beans again, us ing another application of ferti lizer. When these last beans came up I worked them the first time with hoe, but after the po tato vines began to get old 1 closed my cultivator and used it. By frost I had harvested my second crop of beans of 35 bush els selling them at 75 cents per bushel, realizing $26.25. I then dug the potatoes, 15 barrels, for which I got $2.25 per barrel, or $33.75, thus -making for the three crops $115.00. I then sowed in rye, starting the fourth crop on this plat of ground in one season. This was no costly, impractical experi ment. but was almost as easy as if I had devoted one-fourth of an acre to each crop. I close this article with the hope that it may be a practical sug gestion. if nothing more, toother intensive agriculturists. S. G. Thorn berry.

Mr. Elbert Parrish, a well known citizen of the Lois dis trict, has a fish pond covering about twenty acres, and one day last week he made a wonderful discovery. He found that about two acres in the center of the pond had dropped eighteen to twenty feet, and that the entire pond showed a fall of two feet. Now, the question is: how did it happen. If there was a cavity under ground and the water filled it, what has been in the cavity all this time? Is it possible that the cavity is mhch larger than the two-acre hole, and that this is but a small hole in the top of a large cavity?—Nashville Herald. The bargain closing out sale at Mrs. J. L.
