It Is the Duty of Every Man to Aim High—'He Who Makes His Living by-Tilting the Soil Should Bo no Ex- ception to This Rule. Talk of the Commissioner. I have written many letters urging the farmers of Georgia to take the one step that will make our great State absolutely self-supporting, andf some- times I have feared that my persis tence would weary them. But when one knowe that he is right, he must persevere. Ia recent talks from this department it has been shown that Georgia ls not yet the self-supporting State that she was previous to the civil war. Though there Is in this respect great Improve ment, much yet remains to be done. Until every needed step has been tak en, it behooves the Georgia Depart ment of Agriculture to give line upon line and precept upon precept. In many section® of our State there Is still time for the sowing of wheat, rye and barley. By as much as we have, through unfavorable seasons, fallen shprt in our crops of cotton and corn, by so much is the necessity up on us to make up the deficiency in the abundance of other crops. Unflagging energy is the price of success, and this is as true of farming as of any other business. It is the diligent man, who shrinks not at any necessary toil, who makes his mark upon his day and generation. One of the best signs of-the times Is the restlessness of the people In every industrial pursuit, the constant striving after better things. A scientific farmer 1® a learned man, in that particular branch of education. Time was when no man was called educated who had not received a di ploma from a college. Now the man shilled in his profession, whatever that may be, 1® classed among the scientific. It is the duty of every man to alin high. He, who makes his living by agriculture, should consider himself under obligation to do his work In such a way as will best promote the pros perity and happiness of his family. Whether he believes it or not, he has no right to go on in the old slipshod way, making a bare living put of the Boll which holds within its bosom un told wealth for him who seeks it in the right way. He is unworthy the, name of farmer, who sits idly down, whining about his bad luck, instead of bestirring himself like a man to force fortune’s smile. Of course, it is hard to be disappoint ed and to have one’s expectations cut short by unfavorable seasons; but the remedy is his going right at it agam. “What if the sky is overcast? The dark appearance Will not last; Etxpect a better day!.” But, it is folly to expect anything to turn up, unless you make it turn up. The following suggestions from "The Southern Planter,” a farm journal published in Richmond, Ya., are so practical that I take the liberty of giv- them to our Georgia farmers: "It should always be borne In mind that all the cultivation that can be given either of these crops (wheat and winter oats), except it may be a har rowing of the crop in the spring, Which though often omitted, ia of great use in helping the crop, must be given before the crop is seeded; hence, the importance of leaving nothing undone that can conduce to a finely broken surface soil and a compact subsoil - . Plow deep; harrow and roll frequently. Much good ha® been found to result in the west from subsurface packing. Thl® 1® practically a reversion to a practice that has been in use In Eng land ever since we can recollect. The roller used for the purpose in England 1® one made with two large wheels, having the roiling surface made V- shaped, the point of the V being left about one inch broad. These two wheels are set on an axle, so as to run one on each side of the furrow thrown by the plow, so a® to pack the seam between each furrow. A third wheel Is set on the other end of the axle to run on the unplowed land. This roller follows the plow, waiting to start until three furrows have been turned. It® use has been found of great’'benefit, especially -\yheh plowing sod land for wheat. The close pack ing of the seams of the furrow pre vents seed from getting down under the furrow, where it rarely germinates or grows, and thus leads to a thin growth of the crop. These subsurface packing rollers can be had from West ern Implement dealers, fTut we have not seen them advertised in the east. We have used the English Torn of roile.r and can speak favorably of It. In Its absence, the corrugated iron roller advertised in our columns by a Charlottesville firm, which is prac tically the same as the roller known In England as a Cambridge roller, can be usefully substituted.” The same writer suggests that after the soil has been paefced weJl, the sur face should be finely harrowed. To get rid of the ravages of the Hessian fly he suggests that in sec tions specially annoyed by this pest, wheat should not be sown until after the flies have been trapped on a strip of wheat seeded early and then plowed down, wius octroying the eggs and pupa. About Cotton. As to cotton, see that it ls picked as fast as it opens, so that it may not, by remaining on the plants, be stained and wasted by storms. I would suggest that farmers, who are able to hold their cotton, should not be in too big a hurry to get their crop to market and thus cause prices to drop below the point of good profit. Shelter for Stook. In some portion® of Georgia It Is necessary to provide shelter for stock during the winter, and, in fact, over a large part of the state stock will thrive better, if thus cared for during our cold spells. Now is a good time to have all barns, sheds and pens thor oughly cleaned, repaired and white washed, so as to be in the best possi ble condition for housing your stock comfortably. Farm Implements. The careful farmer saves himself great loss by looking after his farm implements. This is a good time to see that all those not at this time in use shall be thoroughly cleaned and placed under cover. O. B. STEVENS, Com. of Agriculture. Howto Prepare Emulsion. Preparation—An emulsion of either crude petroleum or kerosene may be made from the following formula; Two pounds of potash Whale oil soap, four gallons of water, eight gal lons of oil. Weigh the soap carefully and place with the water in a vessel over the fire, using a slight excess of water to make up for evaporation. Fit a pump with a short piece of hose, to which is attached a nozzle for throwing a straight stream J three-sixteenths or one quarter of an inch in diameter. Pour the oil into the barrel or tub in which the pump is sqt, and when the whale-oil soap ls dissolved and the so lution begins to boil, add It to the ofl and pump the whole vigorously back Into Itself for a period of at lest ten mimiles. The stream from the noz zle should be directed straight down ward into the mixture so as to stir it to the very bottom. After a few mln : utes the oil and soap solution will be seen to combine, forming a thick, creamy emulsion, which, when per fectly made, will remain without change for weeks. Materials: Pump Required—'Either erode oil or kerosene will give good results In making emulsion. The soap should preferably be some soft whale oil soap, such as Good’s No. 3. If a hard soap is used the emulsion will be curdy, and only with difficulty mix with water. Country lye soap, answers admirably, but must be used In some what larger quantity than called for in the formula given above. The ordinary Bordeaux spray pump answers very well for mixing the emul sion, but almost any pump will do that can be fitted with the requisite section of hose and nozzle. A "Bordeaux” or "Seneca” nozzle gives a very satisfac tory sized stream for this work, though rather small. The water used must be soft, for if hard, no stable emulsion can be pre pared', and it sometimes happens that foreign substances chanicing to be pres ent, will prevent the emulsification. It a lot of soap solution and oil, for any reason, fails to emulsify properly, the best thing to do is to throw the whole away, carefully clean up the pump wash out all. the vessels used and be gin over.
