Still, the Incessant rains have pre vented activity on the plantations. Not a single section has been left without a surfeit of rain. From the mountain to the sea the deluge has been general, and in many Instances great damage has been done. It ha? teen full many a year since such dire -alnmltios from the elements visited Jeorgia. A grim old farmer, hard- m d by years of determined struggle, gripped my hand the other day and leclared that tanners weren't behind vith their work, that all were even :t the contest. His optimism was ileasant. but the liest of us grow omowhat discouraged at times. Through twenty years of careful >tmly, and with the records of years tack of this, I do not recollect any- liing approaching the season we have ■xperlenced during the whole winter. Vctually only two real cold spells lave extended as far down us tho niddle of the state, and during the ,inter grass has grown like It was pring time. Through February and larch, to dale, the rains hive been .ae the spring rains. Even now the everbernting roar of thunder breaks ho dreary stillness of the night, aud ho steady downpour of rain con- .titles It Is wonderful how nature ; governed. For two days now the i!ti has continued, and many of tho itlcs and hundreds of the farms o£ he state are being injured by tho water. Folk who have not had experience with flood and fire ought to be thank ful that they have escaped these ca lamities, for they are worse things jy far than thi downpour of rain on he farm. And when these condition.! .retail for .tn> length at lini**, the • hole count"y fr Is the effect of It. >l;p tin- country folk out of tho arid and there wouldn't he much of i}.liing else ell. When I'm (mill- tv folk forget to come to town the up,chains ire Idle, and the trade of he community at large la stagnant t's womtetful how quick these little hinge—really the l.lg things—have in effect In every branch of busi ness. Looking Ahead. There Is really no use complaining on account of the adverse conditions The farmer who will succeed this year is the man who will plan ahead. Jf course there are lots and lots ol oik who can’t secure things thev vant, but there are many who can lo so. v Now It lss very important hat every posslblj* effort be made o retrieve the loss of time which vill result from tho inclement weath- r. Crops that .grow quick, cotton hat matures early, seed that will leld best, will be cheap at almost iny price. The value of a few pounds nore cotton per acre, or a bushel o- wo of corn more on the game acre, vlll be worth a farmer's attention I’hc man who neglects these points Ills year will have cause to think ibout thlB matter next year. liut, really, It Is a hard old story o have to tell when one comes to the nd of the season and looks hack and lees where things might have been Afferent. Ill looks just as easy to aticy Just when a piece of hard land :an be plowed best, but when th" Ime cornea It Is often out of season ind the farmer has to do tho best he can. Working all the year and reaping no reward Is something hit ler, but, ch, how many of us have to ,voik a lifetime and never got any thing good ibis side—but let us hope hat beyond the shining ltlver there s something that will be recompense enough. Surely If anybody gets It, it will bo the farmer, and yet he Is not alone in his trials and his trou bles, for others in every walk of life can Join him with that fellow- feeling which makes us wondrous kind—the little touch of nature that makes us all akin.

The trouble heretofore has been with poor cattle, and farmers who did not know have tried to make big money out of scrub and grade cat tie. It is impossible to feed poor cattle, or even to graze them profit j ably. A good friend of mine argues that he grows cowpea hay at $4.50 pet ton, and that hp can afford to feed It at any rate to his own cattle. The cattle as a whole are simply scrubs, and the hay he is giving them can be sold to his neighbors actually a: $25 per ton, and they will come r'ght to Ills barn for it. He declares tha ho Is not feeding $25 hay simply be cause he raised It at a cost of less than $5 per ton. This Is folly, pure and simple, and while 1 believe In giving back to the land, yet one can grow cowpeas forever, 1 think, ou i- plat of land and sell every pound ol the hay, and as the years go by the fertility will Increase, especially If some acid phosphate Is applied. What Good Seed Does. This Is cotton planting time. The Alabama Experiment station did mo the honor of placing seed furnished by me at the head of their list In their variety cotton tost made Iasi year. Thirty-four varieties were tost < (1 and the seed furnished by me— Dillon—led all the rest by 10 per acre und there was a difference ol about 45 per acre In that and the lowest. Some people may not think this Is an argument for good seed, but what else can It be? For three years we selected and Improved the seed and this was the result. The Dillon seed are virtually die enso proof, resisting nearly every dis ease kuown to cotton and conse quently It is valuable everywhere and It may bo only a tew years before 11, or some similar cotton, will have to bo planted over tho whole cotton licit. Last fall J visited tho farm of a very prominent cotton grower and found that hundreds of stalks of cotton were seriously affected—plats actually being killed out by wilt, or black root—and yet ho Is advert is lag his seed. This will scatter the disease, eventually entailing an In- estimable loss to hundreds of farmers who will probably purchase his seed Disease proof cotton will have to supplant ordinary varletls In sucl instances. These troubles are found In the leguminous family also, and with cowpeas It Is especially noticeable. There Is only one variety—the Iron— that has been found resistant to wll’ and roof rot. There are many other valuable varieties of cowpeas for most sections of the country, but the Iron Is the only one that can stand tho wilt. Farmers must get busy they must study conditions from on< year's end to another, they must plat ahead to overcome obstacles. Edu cation acquired by practical experi ence nnd study must be made bene ficial or else failure will result. Thh Is the tme to get busy, to examne nto details and prepare for early crops and late crops; of the latter we shall write more later on If all goes well—that Is to say. well, Pro vldence permitting, as the best and worst of us must prefix our promises with that provision. arwAiTED--a mm agents to anyone, anywhere i allow T1‘ out it to Recp the Ucyc FACTORY PiliuES EACH TOWH ami district to ride and exhibit a Our agents everywhere are Y '/Ter at once. 1 approve o( your hicycU.

Where It Is hens, they will be more conveniently lock( d after by making a hank of nests and placing it along the side of the poultry house or In some unused shed. The nests may be about 12x12x14 Inches in size, made by tak ing two 12-inch beards for the top nnd bottom and cutting another 12- inch board Into 44-ineh lengths for the partitions, then nailing them together, as many as desired. The top of . the bottom row will furnish the bottom of the second row, and four or five rows of nests may thus be placed to gether. There should be a hinged board in front to confine the sitters. The hens should be let out every day to feed and drink for about fifteen minutes, the length of time depend ing on the weather conditions. Use several inches of fine waste hay In the bottom of the nests. Short cut straw or clean chaff will also answer the purpose. Pyrethrum powder or tobacco dust should be used as often as necessary on the fowls and in the nests to keep the lice In check.
