How often failure comes just at this
point! Men who can tell vc.u just how
a thing should be done frequently lack
the capacity to do it themselves or
have others to do it under their direc
tion. The thing called -‘executive
power,” how far-reaching and im
portant in every avocation! How
indispensable to the farmer! He
must manage laborers, stocks, ma
chines, manures, Boils, crops of
various kinds; he must fight cold,
beat, storms, rains, floods,drought, in-
eects, blights, rusts, mildews and
blasts. A great many distinct things
must be made to work together for a
given eud. How multifarious the op
erations which finally terminate in a
bale of cotton or a bushel ef corn 1 And
yet we are told that any one can be a
farmer. Yes, any one can put seeds
lu the ground, any oue can hoe grass,
any ooe can walk behind a plow—but
is that all? When to plant, how to
plant, what to plant ; when to plow,
how to plow. What breadth of knowl
edge, what discriminating judgment
do these demaud! Let the youths who
lack these qualities go to the cities; the
country has no place for them.
But to matters now directly in band.
The planting of the cotton crop con
fronts us—shall it be early or late?
Opinions difler. V\ here experience
fails to decide we can only appeal to
general principles. It is quite certain
that plants have some degree of plas
ticity—that they are modified to some
extent by climatic conditions. Seed
of early corn fr m the North, planted
in the South for several years, without
a fresh importation, acquires a later
habit ol maturing. How is this? The
plant cannot be conceived of as having
an intelligence which enables it to an
ticipate the greater length of our sea
sons and regulate its growth accor
dingly ; and yet it behaves just as if it
had such intelligence. Again, our
native corn, planted very early in the
spring, tends toproduce smaller stalks
but larger ears than that planted late
in the season. May not a similar ten
dency develop In eariy-plauted cotton ?
The cold of early spring chiils this
tropical plant ami threatens its de
struction. Tnreut of extermination al
ways quickens the reproductive pro
cess in plants. The little cockle-burr
which comes up late in the summer,
even thougli it does not grow more
than six inches high, will have a bloom
and mature a seed. In the tropics cot
ton grows almost into a tree, but pro
duces little fruit; in temperate zones
it is dwarfed in size, bu> increased in
fruitfulness. May It not be that the
chilling it gets in early spring predis
poses it to fruitfulness? It would seem
that young plants very soon fix the
style of growth they are to keep up dur
ing the season. If they start out to make
a large, luxu iaut stalk they seem to
strive to carry it out to the end.
Our individual experience has been
in favor of early-planted cotton. It
does not grow oil quite as well, and is
consequently somewhat harder to
work, but fruits belttr, opens early and
can be housed and sold early in the
season. Then,again,early planting is
more apt to bring good stands, for
there is then usually enough moisture
in the Boil still to bring the plant up;
later it is apt to be too dry. After
trying “planters” and other modern
modes of planting cotton, we have
gone back to the old-time method of
covering seed with a good list by a
double-foot plow and either knocking
off with a board or leveling down with
a harrow. Cotton seed will not come
up through a thick covering of earth,
but they will sprout and get ready to
come up when thus covered, and will
appear above the surface promptly
when the superfluous dirt is removed
by a board or barrow. Bear in mind,
this knocking off or harrowing is not
labor lost; it is really equivalent to a
first working. For two years we have
tried the broadcast harrowing of cotton
with a smoothing harrow. It was
done the first time just as the cotton
began to come up. The harrow was
run obliquely across the rows. About
a week later it was run again at right
anglls to the first. It may be run
squarely across the rows,but never up
and down them, for in the latter case
it would almost certaiuly injure the
stand. Where the laud was clean
and free from obstructions, the work
was very satisfactory; even whore
land was not perfect 1." clean, the
stand was not much injured. If no
rain has fallen since toe soil was
stirred by the plow, the harrow tends
to run too deep; where the soil iB
crusted it works finely.
If one does uot use a harrow the
scrape should be started just as soon
as the first cottou makes its appear
ance. The wing next the cotton
should be set perfectly flat and the
cotton sided so closely thut the two
furrow's almost meet. Very little dirt
willbe thrown on the young cotton,
and even if some is, it will not inter
fere seriously with its coming up.
(Should the ground be crusted, the
crust will be broken; moreover, the
grass which usually comes up with
the cotton, will be killed. Nothing
contributes more to the easy, pleasant
working of a cotton crop than to be
gin plowing it early and plowing it of
ten in the early stages of growth. We
generally leave too much for the hoe
to do. By runnio 0 the plow early,
properly aud ofteu, the hoe-work may
be greatly reduced. • Oue thingis very
clear, that unless the cost of produc
tion can be reduced there will be very
little profit in cotton at present prices.
As sojn as cotton planting is finish
ed, early-planted corn will be ready
for its first-working. If planted in
water-furrows, manure may now be
dropped near the hill of corn, and the
first plowing will cover it up. In this
case also set the wing of scrape next
the corn so it will run very fiat and
throw only a moderate quantity of
dirt into the water-furrow and about
the corn. It is quite injurious to corn
to dirt it heavily when it is young,
and force it to throw out new roots
near the surface before it is ready to
<tp eo. Corn natually throws out new
circles of roots at successive joints,
toe set above the other, but not all at
once. A considerable interval of time
elapses between the formation of suc
cessive whorla^of roots. But deep
dirting Interferes with the course of
nature and causes new roote to form
prematurely. Again, by only partial
ly filling the water-furrow at the first
working, more dirt is thrown inth it
at the second working, and covers and
smothers grass most thoroughly, dis
pensing with all hoe-work. Where
corn is not planted in water-furrow
we have found it an excellent plan to
use a twister or turniDg-shovel, and
starting in center of middles bed up
with bar side next the corn. The last
furrow can be run very near the corn,
dirting it lightly, but enough to eover
np young grass effectually if it is doDe
early enough. We contend that a hoe
need neVer enter a cornfield. Such
■ aiding gives a good opportunity to put
manure on each side of corn to be cov
ered at the next working.
We repeat the recommendation
heretofore given to supplement the
corn crop with one of the recently in
troduced millets orsorghums, as kaffir
corn or millo maize. Kaffir corn is
nothing like ordinary corn; it resem
bles millo maize, but has a dwarfer
habit and matures earlier. It and
millo maize have been widely adver
tized as forage crops; we value them
more for their seed* which are about
as valuable as cow lot stock
cultivated the latter, we may say, itn
culture is similar to that of ordinary
s«rg b u m—nothing peculiar or difficul t
about it.
Raising supplies at home is the
foremost and most important of all
problems to the cotton-raiser. It is
useless to attempt improvement of
any kind until the farm is made self-
supporting. lie will certainly fail if
he buys provisions. The experience
of the last twenty years has most
thoroughly demonstrated this. Go
where you will, the men who raise
supplies at home are the prosperous
farmers. Their lands are not mort
gaged. They cro not have to ask mer
chants to run them. For this reason
we Btress every crop which will help
the farmer to raise the provisions he
needs; kaffir corn and millo maize
strike us as veiy promising grain-pro
ducing crops. They are generally ex
tolled as forage plants; we do not
prize them highly for that; ordinary
corn sown in drills has no superior as
a forage plant. If one will manage it
properly there is no occasion to hunt
up any other crop as a substitute. It
is urged upon every farmer, who is at
all short of forage, or likely to be, to
sow a good breadth of land in drilled
corn this month. It may be sown at
any time from April to August, but
the early sowings are the most satis
factory—most apt to succeed. Pre
pare the land very thoroughly by re
peated plowings, rollings and harrow
ings; make drills four feet apart to
admit plenty of air and light; sow
seed so that grains may be from two
to three inches apart, and when up
cultivate with sweep. Some think
forage corn should be sown very
thickly to make' the stalks small
Of coarse very large stalks are objec
tionable, but if each plant has not the
opportunity of developing itself pretty
thoroughly, the forage will lack qual
ity; it will be tasteless and not relish
ed by stock. Each stalk ought to
have sufficient opportunity to enable
it to make a little nubbin, and the
crop should not be gathered until the
little nubbin is in roasting ear.
Another very valuable food crop,
which may be started the last of this
month, is German millet. It is an
exceedingly strong, nutritious forage
—stronger perhaps than any other,
unless exception be made of clover
bay and pea-vines. Whilst It may
not equal these in some respects, it is
a better balanced food. It calls for
rather rich land, -but grows well on
pqor land when manured and proper
ly prepared. Stable manure, cotton
seed meal, ammoniated fertilizers or
composts will answer. The land
should be prepared, as described
above, for drilled corn, a half bushel
of seed sown on an acre and very
lightly harrowed in and then rolled
All small seeds, which must be plant
ed shallow, should be rolled after
they are harrowed in. It insures both
more prompt aud more certain germi
nation of the seed.. Remember that
German millet should be cut prompt
ly as soon as blooms appear; the seed
form and mature very quickly after
the bloom, unusually so, and it is not
desirable to let the seed mature. They
are so small that if they are not properly
masticated, may swell in the stomach
and do harm, orelse passthrough undi
gested and are lost. The extreme ease
with which this millet is cut and
cured also commends it to our high
esteem; it' has a decided advantage
over corn forage in this respect.
Increased interest has been devel
oped of late in the groundpea crop on
account of the introduction of the va
riety termed “Spanish.” We do not
know its origin or history, but on'trial
have found it a very excellent variety,
The pods fill well, and cluster largely
around the main root, making the dig
ging of them quite easy. On suitable
laud, that is rather sandy and with
ltkie in the soil, the groundpea is
very valuable adjunct to the food
crops of the farm. Scarcely anything
is better for fattening pork, and as
farmers are much more disposed to
raise their meat than they formerly
were, we commend this crop to their
attention also. It should be planted
at once; it is better to shell and plant
the seed out of the hull; they will
come up more quickly; drop at least
two in a hill; rows three feet apart
and bills two feet in the row.
In this connection the sweet potato
should receive attention. The large,
early varieties, like the St. Domingo
yam, and the closely allied red skin
with yellow flesh, are unsurpassed as
ling feed. If the slips are pat out the
first ot May, bogs may be turned on
them by the first of September, or ear
lier; be kept on them till the middle of
October, and then turned upon the
groundpeas, and by theend of Novem
ber be ready for the knife. It is a mis
take to suppose that farmers cannot
raise their meat to advantage at the
present low pricesof bacon. A farmer
can raise almost anything that he
needs on his farm cheaper than he can
buy it. In the matter of meat, all that
is requited is that Jie should arrange
pr- -perly for it—not depend exclusively,
or even largely, on the corn-crib. Graz
ing lots, Bermudaand clover, Johnson
grass lots for hogs to feed upon root
stocks of in winter, plum orchards,
wild cherries, seedling peach trees,
acorns, persimmons, etc., together
with potatoes, peas and groundpeas,
present a cheap, inexpensive bill of
fare upon which hogs can be very eas
ily raised and fattened. We are not
enterprisingenough; we work on from
year to year lu the same old ruts, rais
ing corn and cotton and little else, and
trusting to the cotton crop to supply
all our wants. Year after year we have
failed, hat hope never dies. The fault
is in the seasons, or the guano dealers,
or the merchants, or something else;
we are blind to the fact that it is chief
ly in ourselvesand our methods. We
give a thousand excuses forour failure,
but never the right one. Now, before
it is too late, put some of the land you
had prepared for cotton In sweet pota
toes, some in groundpeas, some in
Kaffir corn, some, in German millet
and some in forage corn.

For the relief and cure of the in
flammation ami congestion called "a
cold in the head” there is more p<>
teucy in Ely’s (.’ream Balm than any
thing else it is.possiole to prescribe.
This preparation has for years past
been making a brilliant success as a
remedy for cold in the head, catarrh
and bay fever. Used in the initial
stages of these ' complaints Cream
Balm prevents any serious develop
ment of the symptoms, while almost
numberless cases are on record of
radical cures of chronic catarrh and
bay fever after all other modes of
treatment have proved of no avail.
SprtDg work on the farm is begin
ning and there is nothing of more im
portance than good tools and imple
ments, and they ought to be kept in
first-class order. A good thing for a
farmer to do at this season of the year
is to look over his stock of tools, ma
chinery and implements, and put all
in first-class order. Do this by clean
ing them perfectly; see that the wood
work is complete in all respects; ex
amine every bolt and nut, and replace
all that are badly worn; if needed, use
a liberal portion oi paint as a preserva
tive. The best article to olean off the
grease from runniug parts Is kerosene
or benzine, and then a liberal appli
cation of cotton waste. If you have
found you need any particular imple
ment, 'ake toe time to see where yon
can get the best one and secure it in
season.

ECZEMA ERADICATED.
Gentlemen—It is dne yon to say that I think I am entirely well of eczema after having
taken Swift’s Specific. I have been troubled with it very little in my face since last spring.
At the beginning of cold weather last fall it made a slight appearance, bat went away and
has never retained. S. S. 25. no doabt broke it ap; at least it pat my system in good condition
and I got well. It also benefited my wife greatly in case of sick headache, and made a perfect
core of a breaking oat an my little three year old daughter last snmmer.
