ropes. Fasten one end of each
rope,
A A, to the trace eyes of the rear
horse and the front end of each rope,
B B, to the trace eyes of the lead
horse. As shown in the illustration, a
knot, C C, is made in each rope a lit
tle in front of the pulleys to prevent
the rear horse from coming too close to
the lead horse.
Fig. 2 shows a method of making a
very serviceable laud roller from tile.
Take hard burned tile, about 2% feet in
diameter, without rim. Make a frame
for the inside of the tile by making a
cross, size of tile, of 3 by 3 scantling
for each end of the tile. Connect the
points of the crosses by three inch
planks, as shown in cut. The dotted
lines represent tile. Shrink an old tire
on each end of the tile, run a 1 inch
rod through the center of the frame
for the axle of the roller and put on
ordinary outside frame and shafts or
tongue. Two tiles arranged in this
way are used in a two horse roller,
which are divided where they join by
a brace to the beam' of the outside
frame of the roller. Have washers at
each end of the tiles. This roller has
the advantage of being very cheaply
and quickly made and will give satis
faction.
The second cut gives an idea of a
handy farm cart for hauling plows,
harrows, rails or miscellaneous farm
implements. Take a pair of old mow
ing machine wheels and axle and four
pieces of 2 by 4 scantling, ten feet
long, for the side pieces of the cart.
Cut the bottom boards for the cart the
length of the axle between wheels.
Lay two scantlings down and nail on
the bottom boards. Now turn the part-
A HANDY CART.
ly completed frame over and make a
place in each side piece for the axle to
set in. a little back of the center. Put
the axle in place and spike oue of the
remaining scantlings on over each side
piece. Spike a piece of 2 by 4 about
20 inches long on the front end of each
side piece, which points or rounds up
like a sled runner. The cart can be
used either side up. The front end
rests on the ground only when the
horses stop. Holes are made for pins
iu the top and bottom of the cart.
Draw with a large clevis, like a com
mon road scraper or scoop.
Practical and Timely Points From
Georgia Experience.
Conclusions of considerable interest
and value to cotton growers have been
arrived at as the results of thorough
experiment at the Georgia station.
Some of them are:
That if the seeds of two equally pro
ductive varieties of cotton, one an ear
ly the other a later variety, he mixed
and planted the resulting yield will be
greater than would be the yield of ei
ther variety planted separately.
That iu four foot rows the yield of
cotton will be greater if the plants be
spaced to one plant every IS inches
than if they be spaced to two plants
individualization as practicable. “Two
arc better than one" is not true under
the other conditions prescribed in this
experiment.
That on the soil covered by the ex
periment and with the excessively dry
seasons that prevailed, the rows bein.
uniformly four feet wide, the plants
should be not farther apart than 12
inches, and probably a less distance
would have given a larger yield. There
is no doubt that the acre would have
produced at least 25 per ceut more cot
ton had the rows been only three feet
wide aud the plants not more than 12
inches apart.
That allowing a given number of
plants per acre, the yield will be larger
iu proportion as the width of rows and
the space between the plants approach
the form of a square.
That on the soil on which this exper
iment was located a cotton fertilizer,
in order to yield the best economic re
suits, should contain in an available
form three and one-third parts of phos
phoric acid, one part of potash and one
part of nitrogen.
That it is not advisable to divide the
amount of fertilizers intended for a
field of cotton into two applications,
two-thirds of the total to he applied
shortly before planting the crop and
one-tliird at the first plowing.
A Fart of tlie Business of Farming.
I regard stock raising as one of 'the
neglected industries of Louisiana, says
Mr. Thomas H. Lewis, a neglect to be
accounted for only upon the theory
that our rich soil and favorable climate
have led our agricultural population to
engage exclusively in the business of
cultivating tlie soil, while our farmers,
like the farmers of the middle and
western states, should make stock rais
ing as much a part of their business
and occupation as is cultivation of the
soil. The climate of southwestern Lou
isiana is sufficiently mild to enable
stock to winter without shelter if they
be kept in good condition. And we
have a native grass called little gazon,
or carpet grass, that grows abundantly
everywhere and that furnishes ample
pasturage the entire year except dur
ing the mouths of January and Febru
ary. This grass also makes a fair hay
when cut on ground upon which stock
are not allowed to graze. We have al
so Bermuda grass upon our alluvial
streams, which is a grass of great val
ue both for grazing purposes aud for
cutting as hay.
The beef and mutton fattened upon
Bermuda grass is of exceedingly fine
flavor—in fact, much better than that
pastured upon the ordinary carpet or
gazon grass, though cattle pastured up
on the latter thrive and grow very
heavy and fat, making good marketa
ble stock.
Oats Fop Hay.
Oats are one of the best and cheapest
hay plants that can be grown. Cut
when the plauts first form the head,
the entire plant makes fine hay, says
Texas Farm and Ranch. This is a
crop that can follow corn or other
crop and is off the ground and out of
the way of cotton, Mexican June corn,
sweet potatoes and many other crops
that may follow.

Wlreworms In Grass Lund.
Tlie parent of the wireworm is an
entirely different insect from that of
the white grub, in this case the fully
developed insect being the slender,
brownish beetles known as snapping
beetles on account of their habit, when
placed upon their backs, of throwing
themselves into the air with a slight
snap and turning over aud alighting
upon their feet. Their life history is
very much the same as that of the
white grub. These are also grass feed
ing insects, but while the white grub
is more usually found upon higher
lands, which the female seems to se
lect for a place to deposit her eggs, the
snapping beetles, or skip jacks, seem to
prefer the lower, cooler aud damper
lands. Itjs for this reason that the
lower lands are more often affected
by this pest, and it frequently occurs
that the patches of black soil among
clay will be more especially subject to
infestation. While it would seem that
the harder and more compact body of
the wireworm would be less suscepti
ble to climatic influences, neverthe
less we And no more practical preven
tion of tlie occurrence of this pest than
the fall plowing of sod lands, and,' as
with the white grub, it is quite proba
ble that late fall or winter plowing will
be preferable. While this does not in
all cases insure absolute freedom from
the attacks of these insects, there
seems a stronger probability of their
ravages another year being prevented
in tliis way than by any other known
to the Ohio station. *
