and the strength of the soil. Furrow'

cross furrow if preferred, Where

J inches deep and twenty-four inches

, well fermented compost. From
four to six pounds will be the right
amount.
| A compost that has given good ser

; acid phosphate each, and one part of
kainit, all thoroughly mixed and left
, in a large heap six weeks to ferment,
There will not be time now to fer

year, which would have deprived the
seed of ]ife and made the p lant food

fresh manure had been applied to

have got in good condition to feed the
plants. If manure is scarce, a good
commercial fertilizer may be mixed
with wood’s mold or rich loam and
placed in every hill. If the manuring
is too heavy it will make more vine
^ than melons.
Put eight to ten seeds in each hill
and cover one inch deep, If hard
rains and drying winds follow plant

Two Most Hopeful Signs.
1. We were talking to a promin¬
ent merchant of Fairburn, Ga. He
said: “The farmers in our section are
improving, And six cent cotton
[ proved a great blessing to them in
! disguise. It forced them to raise their
corn, In 1902 I sold twenty-eight.
j carloads credit. of For corn, the and last nearly four all of it l
: on years
1 have not averaged a carload per
year, It This is, indeed, a hopeful sign,
I and we think a like condition of af¬
fairs exist all over the South. We
know it does in ail thriftj sections.
If your section is an exception to this
j rule begin to fall into line,
2. In former years it was custom
ary to hear farmers bragging aboat
how few furrows they ran in making
a crop. And it was almost the cus
tom to “run off and plant wit lout
any breaking or thorough prepara
«on of the soil Now we hear the
farmers tell with pride how long
took them to prepare their land. Tins
a WT ****** ™
had prepared Ins land tor corn. n He He
said: “I spent a week with two large
mules, breaking my six acres for
corn, I am going to try ‘the Will
iamson plan.’ Will use 800 pounds
guano per acre. 1 am tired goiug
over so much land for my corn.” We
rejoice that the day has changed, and
that our farmers are beginning to ap¬
preciate the vast difference between
thorough preparation and good work
and scratching the soil. — Southern

Dress Your Saddle With Milk.
Here is a dressing for saddles that
is so cheap that the first impulse of
the reader will be to say it is no good.
but the cost of a thing is not always
in accord with its usefulness, and the
saddle dressing that will be given will
be found worth many, many times its
cost. It is produced by every farmer
and its inexpensiveness warrants its
frequent use, for it will surprise any
body who has not seen the good ef
fects it produces when applied right.
It is nothing but milk, fresh milk.
It will be recalled that milk lias fat
in it, which is here a substitute for
oil and milk also has other things in
it that will have a good effect on
leather used in the way that saddle
leather is. Do not be content with
merely moistening the saddle with
milk. First clean it thoroughly with
mild soap and water that has been
slightly warmed. A little experiment¬
ing will show just how cry the leath¬
er should be before the milk is ap¬
plied.
Miik is no exception to the rule
that.leather dressing should he thor¬
oughly rubbed into the leather. The
success of the work will depend large¬
ly on the amount and thoroughness
of rubbing. Bridles can be greatly
improved by the same treatment.
The leather part of the saddle that
comes next to the horse may be
treated with neatsfoot oil. The sweat
from the horse will deposit salt on
i this part of the leather and be hard
on it, and that is the reason why spe¬
cial care should be given here. If
this lower part of the saddle-is kept
clean it will be much better for the
j saddle and much better for the horse.

A Hive Worth as Much as a Cow.
No farm is complete in its conve¬
niences and business methods with¬
out a few colonies, of Italian bees
comfortably housed in a most conve¬
nient hive. Honey is one of the
farmer’s most valuable assets, and in
many places a dozen colonies will
gather seventy-five to- 100' gallons of
honey during a single season, worth
in many places seventy-five cents a
gallon. All the bee wants is a mov¬
able frame hive, in which the honey
is stored in a conveniept manner for
the farmer to get at any hour he
may wish to have honey and butter
for supper.
Thousands of gallons of the very
“quintessence of sweetness,” as an
old bee keeper used to say, is lost in
the country for the want of a place
to store it. A real strong colony of
Italian bees is worth as much in a
year to a family as an ordinary Jer¬
sey cow is worth, Bees make the
corn and cotton better by mixing the
pollen of the different flowers, there¬
by making the seed larger and heav
ier, insuring greater germinating
power. Farmers, if they so desired,
by providing ample storage space for
the bees could raise honey to sop
both sides of their bread every day in
the year and not trouble to make
syrup. Honey has valuable medi
cinai properties that no other sweet
has. J. R. MeLendon, in Progressive
Farmer.
Cotton Advice,
There has been a larger reduction
in the production of the cotton mills.
Prices have fallen. Wages in the
Northern mills have been reduced,
and for the time there has been a re¬
duced demand for the raw material.
The Southern farmers should take
these facts into consideration and cur¬
tail the acreage for 1908. Plant food
crops, raise more hogs, more fruits
and vegetables for the market and
less cotton.
The acreage for 1907 was larger
than it should have been. A late cold
spring interfered with the produc¬
tion, and the weather conditions and
the labor conditions throflghout the
season united to reduce the yield per
acre.
If we have in 1908 the same acre¬
age as in 1907 and have a better crop
year, better weather and better labor
conditions with a smaller demand
from the mills, it is clear that prices
would fall, and the crop would not be
remunerative.
The remedy is to reduce your acre¬
age ten per cent, and raise other
crops instead.—Home and Farm.
Fertilizing For Peanuts.
Pops in peanuts are caused by a
deficiency of potash in the soil, not a
deficiency of lime. Lime applied to
the soil releases potash and thus aids.
Use a fertilizer strong in phosphoric
acid and potash. Many peanut grow¬
ers use plaster, which has the same
effect oE releasing potash that may be
in the soil. But in using phosphate
liberally you will of necessity apply
forty pounds of plaster in every 100
pounds of .acid phosphate, as this is
the result of dissolving the lime pbos
< phate with sulphuric acid. The sandy
j goils 0 j peanut section are defi
| c i en t in potash, and a liberal applica
tion of acid phosphate and muriate of
potash will increase the crop and do
as much toward banishing pops as
lime.—W. F. Massey.
j Better Knowledge.
It is better for a pupil to know the
| composition oj. feed for growing stock
j than to he able to name the battles for him of

j nutritive ration than to know what is
! meant by the least common multiple.

PROTEIN IN ORCHARD GRASS.
Orchard grass is richest in protein,
being 4.9 to 100 pounds, almost
double that of timothy.
STUDY YOUR COWS.
Study, your cows. They will teach
you more than lots of books. Read
dairy and stock papers and books.
Talk to scientific men and your mind
will broaden.
I would add two or three pounds
of white clover seed per acre for
permanent mowings, as it makes a
thick, rich bottom, writes W. A. Ford
of the Massachusetts Agricultural
College.
THE FAMILY HORSE AND CCfW.
Watch the horse’s hoofs carefully
during the spring months. The mud
should not be allowed to cake on
them, and, if one has been driving
over v r et roads, the animal’s legs
should be thoroughly dried off.
It is a wise plan to get the manure
pile away from the stable as soon as
possible in the spring. Nowadays
many people with country places have
manure drawn direct to the fields
throughout the winter, but if this
practice is not followed it should now
be carted to the ground where it is to
be used and spread.
Be careful to see that the horse
and cow are never without a piece of
rock salt. It is a good plan to have
a small box fastened to the stall
manger to keep it in.
The cow should be out of doors
every fair day for exercise, but be
sure that she is not allowed to stray
on the soft and wet turf, which is
easily cut up and damaged at this
time of year.—Suburban Life.
THE BROWN LEGHORNS.
They lay at all seasons, if well
eared for, excepting during moulting,
a white egg, and seldom want to sit,
but if left alone will sit and make
good mothers,
The chicks are hardy and grow
fast. Some prefer them for early
broilers, They say they early get the
s } ze of one and a half or two pounds,
and at that age are as good as the
chicks of the larger breeds. They
get their growth at the age of five
months, and are good fall and winter
layers, as I have said, if well handled.
In color the head, back and ex
p 0sed parts of the wings of the cock
are a bright bay, while the breast,
flight feathers of the wing and tail
are black, The neck hackle and sad
die is bay laced with black. There j
must no white appear in any part of j
the plumage. The hen is of a salmon
brown, of light formed and dark by brown.—J. the alternate M. lacing John¬ |
son, in the American Cultivator.

DEAD SHOT FOR INSECTS.
When insects, mice or other creat¬
ures infest grain bins, burrow out of
sight or attempt to make their places
secure against ordinary methods of
attack, the best remedy is bisulphide
whidfc of carbon, a very volatile liquid,
becomes rapidly converted into
gas, penetrating into every hole,
crack or other harboring place. As
this gas is heavier than air it sinks
down to the lowest points, hence goes
wherever the creature can go. Poured
into a rat hole (about a tablespoon¬
ful) and the hole covered with dirt,
the rat must come out or perish.
To destroy weevil in wheat it may
be used with advantage. Being very
volatile and also highly explosive, no
flame or light of any kind must be
brought near it, not even a lighted
pipe or cigar. It has given excellent
satisfaction when used at the roots of
trees, after removing the earth for
that purpose, in destroying root lice
and other insects at work near the
toots.—The Epitomise
