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.

Fish Pond Sinks.
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.

Mrs. J. L. Adams’ millinery
