On this subject the Louisiana expo riiuent station iias the foi owing: Pearl, or -oattail” mihet, as it is sometimes caiie.i, is used as a "soiling'’ crop. A few rows planted in rich soil will afford sufficient green feed in the spring for several head of horses. It grows rapidly after being cut and is one of tho oest early green feeds of its kind. The non-saccharine sorghums make excellent for >,ge, au l may be used a, soil crops or cured as hay. The bush els of grain they yield per acre make them valuable adjuncts to the grain producing c: ops. Jerusalem com has large, compact, drooping heads of wiiite grain. The stalk is low, stout and stocky, and not so good as the four following. Yellow and.white iniilo maize grow large and tali, making large tonnage of forage, large, straight heats of y.d.ow and wiiite grain, yielding in favorable years many bushels per acre. Large African millet is very much like the white millo maize, except it grows much larger both in staik and seed heads. It is equally as valuable for forage and soiling, possessing the advantage over all of greater tonnage, and more bushels of grain per acre. It wiil certainly produce more forage per acre than any forage crop ever grown at the station. The Kaffir corn is low growing, but produces manv heads of white grain, as well as a fair tonnage of forage. The seeds are excellent poultry feed. German millet is too well known to mention any of its characteristics. It is a valuable forage and soiling crop, and should be more extensively p.anted. 'French millet, bears a long, drooping head of rod grain and bids fair to out rival the German variety in produc tion. Spja bean is a leguminous plant, and aside from its qualities as a forage plant, like others of the leguminous family, it renovates worn land. It re sembles the bean, grows ' treelike, IB inclies 2 fact high, and bears a heavy crop of short pods, well filled with small, round white berries, resembling very mnc.'i the sweet pea of the garden. If cut just as the pods begin to ripen it cures readily info a good hay. Theses, crops or wnatever are necessa ry to supplement the shortage in feed stuffs, being arranged for. we must turn our attention to the principal crops of tin farm. Parhar wa nave never uad more forcibly illu-trated the impor tance of fill: plowing tnau is just now being brought no ue to our understand ing. The almost unprecedented cold, the iong continued rain-, 'he iate sea son, all combine to crowd into one month the work of two or more, and on the fall plowed lands, particularly if snbsoiied, even wnere it has been packed by the winter rains, the work is found lighter, more rapid and more satis actory than in tae fields, which have remained unplowed -nice tne crops were gathered, and which have been in many cases beaten hard by tne tramping of cattle. This question of proper end well di rected plowing lies at the ’.cry found a tion oi our success in farming, yet now few farmers study it beyond tee mere breaking and bedding, absolutely nec essary in the ordinary preparat.ou fot planting a crop For some crops it i; important to plow muen deeper than for others, but on how many farms do we see any variation in the depth of plowing, all crops being m-epared for /for,(Madison county and the democratic party. DANIELSVILLE, MADISON COUNTY, GA.. THURSDAY, April 4th. 1894. ah ice, An ignorant or id n.n-eut plow man has no idea of the importance of his work. Crooked or uneven furrows, varying as to the width anil depth, make the work hard on the mail aud hard ou the mule, while a failure to as certain on this point the requirements of the different-crop, to be planted of ten eutaiis much unnecessary work, with painfully inadequate returns, brood plowing not only requires prac tice but observation a; wail, the close scrutiny, which will enable tha farmer to profit by orror as well a< by success. In their eagerness to push on tho work, farmers often niter pmseun ur gmt conditions, are tempted to plow tho land when too wet. No greater mistake was evor main, for While some thing may ba .gama t in present speed, the end is no amount of bother aud worry. Laud once plowed too wet does not recover during that crop sea sou, a id often it-s disaitroqs tend into tha following year. A taife t:.Ke o -dm is* jHjaU gravity is-to attbw§ t lie unpho w-d flsld . to sin mi altar, -it, "re liowmes 7ooll?y. This wt 1 prevent the oruae from iorming. prevents evaporation and keeps tha laud m good o indition until tho rogu lar piow ooms along. Another important point is to re member that at this season it is of no beu -fir. to turn any quantity of the suosoii to sue surf to •, that should have been dona in tho f ill. It is too hue how for it to be acted upon by m i and air and rain, that it may furnish addi tional plant food for this year's crop For corn, plow deep, but instead of bringing tho subsoil to tho surface, u.,0 a subsoil plow, or follow the ordinary turning plow with a long scooter in the same i arrow, thus leaving tiie subsoil broken, but, in the bottom of tiie furrow. This may seem slow work when vine is pressed for time, but thorough wont in preparation pays tiie biggest returns. It has b seu repeated ly ii mionstrated that half the area, with prop *r and careful attention to de tails, yields a greater profit and with less !i ird work, than twice the number of acre.; poorly prepared, insufficiently manured and hastily • and carelessly cultivated. Witn the low prices which now prevail for all varieties of farm pro,luce, we should direct our energies more r i in ever to increasing the yield of e i ‘li in iv, tor ciie cost of production can bo decreased more effectually iu tins v v than in any other. Lit asglanci fora moment at some of tb i advantages of this p an. First, less ii >r jo power and consequently a Bin tiler plow and blacksmith bill. See on 1, the improvement to the land, vr lie i instead of becoming poorer aud p loryr him year, is steadily building up ua-iB th-i heavier application of in mure aud rite mare judicious man ag-vu-mr, Again, a smaller outlay in the matter of labor, just now a very he ivy ,;a-i risky item, also, the ability inuA- Bird ■Mt*.l vaT~frto6f, having tho privilege of choice. In the snbet.ration of in mure and improved ma Miner/ and iimilentenis for labor much can also be done. In other words, the true pointy on the ordinary farm lands of Georgia is to select tiie best and a ilioouvi'uie on them the effort and the manure waieh w=> have been in the habit, of spr-Riding over twice the area. Tiie time for planting ail crops has been of course greatly delayed, but af ter onr experience of last spring, we should not oa bLoonragetl. In many si.'oi urns of the state cue corn is not yet planted; in others, this work is finished and the cotton land now claims atten tion.

This is Mad dison’s opportunity to show the world what she is, where she is and her immense resources. Im migration has turned southward and all eyes are on Georgia. They are coining in colonies and settling all around us. We have as good a county*. a4 anybody else, . and invite immi gration, but we will have to ad something besides invite. , Let us get together and have ah exhibit worthy of Madison county, it the exposition in search of in formation, as to the resources of our county, and maybe we can catch some of them that are com ing this way. ■ Will some public spirited man, who has the good of the county at heart not take hold of this matter and push it through, and let Mad ison go up with a good county ex hibit. Let it be done at once. The Monitor will gladly lend all the aid it can. Southern railroads have stood the strain of the stringent times better than the other railroads of the country. Their returns show that Ihy have not only held their own, but have ‘done something better. The financial situation compelled the roads to use econo my, and while their gross earnings are not so large, yet their net earnings are Ja little on the in crease. Home of the Western roads have lost heavily. The single gold standard Ims forced every thing down, so Jthat there is no telling where it will stop or what the consequences will be. And then if the farmers reduce the acreage, so as to put a small crop on the market, this will take a great deal from them and dimin* his their earnings considerably. -w——- 1 -- ■ -- Bony May who used to be a af* milliar figure around Danielsville, was in town to-day.
