January lias given ns more than its usual average of bright days, aud all through the state preparations for an¬ other year’s crops are going on apace. This, with the fail plowing of which a good deal was accomplished, gives us a very fair start, and should February prove a very rainy month, we will pos¬ sess onr souls in patience. NVe are very far behind in the annual rainfall, and it were better perhaps to have it m—e up in this month, than later on, when the young crops might be retarded in their growth, if not seriously injured by heavy spring floods. PREPARATION. The work of preparation should go on steadily whenever the weather permits, remembering that the land intended for corn should be thoroughly and deeply broken. Corn is more sensitive to drouth than most of our cultivated crops, aud needs a deep and mellow seedbed. "When planting time comes if this breaking has been done some time previous, it may become necessary to harrow - the land before putting in the seed, but the additional labor is fully returned in benefit to the crop. Corn, unlike cotton, is made iu a few weeks, and after deep breaking and proper ma¬ nuring, w - e must depend on repeated surface stirring to conserve moisture, keep down weeds, airate the soil, aud thns promote, the perfect development of the crop. In preparing land for any crop w - e should be guided by the char¬ acter of the soil aud its present condi¬ tion, as well as the previous crops planted on it, aud their cultivation. If the soil be deep, we may put the plows in deep and turn each furrow, leaving n mellow bed for planting time. But if the soil be shallow aud the subsoil near the surface this plan will not answer. If the turning plow is used, it should go just deep enough to bring a little of tlia subsoil to the surface, aud the furrows be left on edge, as it were, in order that the small amount of available plant food may not be buried out. of reach of the young plant roots. We have always found, however, that on such lauds a bet ter plan is to use a long, narrow straight plow - , running the furrows close to gather, which will break the subsoil without bringing it to the surface aud leave the top soil in good condition. Another important point in preparing for our crops, is that we return to the land as far as pos-ible every particle of vegetable matter left on the surface from the previous year. The crying need of our lands is humus, aud when there is a heavy growth of weeds, broomsedge, cotton or corn stalks or any other numns making material on the land, it should not be burnt off before the plows, but every effort should be made to break it down and put it in condition to be turned utider when the plowing is done. For this purpose se¬ lect a cold morning and drag a har¬ row over the laud iu every direction. With the exception of corn stalks this will break down all the growth. In re¬ ply to an inquiry in another column in regard fo the value of these corn stalks, winch aro usually left standing in the fieid, wa have endeavored to show how much valuable feeding material is thrown away each year by this waste¬ ful practice. The average farmer re¬ gards these standing stalks as so much waste material, which is to be removed as thoroughly as possible—and burning is the usual method of getting rid of them. If cut down and turned under whole, they are a meuace to the proper preparation and after cultivation of the land; the practice of cutting in shorter lengths by hand and then turning un¬ der is considered a loss of time aud la¬ bor, and every farmer, who lias tried the plan, knows that if they are hauled to the stable aud put in the stalls, iu the hope of adding to the manure heap, they aro a constant source of auuoyauce and worry., It does seem strange that this portion of the corn crop, which contains such a large per cent of the nutritive value of that crop, should be regarded as a nuisance, and be annually and literally thrown into the fire. We are doing ail in our power to check the further progress of a mistake which is each year losing us thousands of tons of healthful and nutritious for age. Once the farmers fnliv realize the truth, they cannot be induced to leave 5“* than c f- tney op iu would the ,f el allow n t0 w their “ ste ’ other a , ny more after crops they are made to stand exposed to • the destructive agencies of wmd and $?»»* 5? ! jscfc preparation, the stubbie lauds the lands which wore not planted the previous year it not plowed in the fall should be the first to be broken after Christmas. Being full of vegetable toft.S/fr-S £*£ u cottonseed is to be used as a manure, we have found it is a good plan to lay off the land, put in the seed and acid and cover well with a list. This gives the cottonseed time to decompose be fore planting will time and yet not to a de gree that cause a loss of its ele ments ot p.aut food before thev ril' * needed by the crop. Another advan¬ tage of this plan is that when we coin plete tho bed and open the plauting fur row the soil is in nice, fresh condition *“.JS ba E Kl until the last in order to get all the ben efit possible from them as green food We have seen snoh patches turned under late aud then laid ff, manure put in and beuded up for • iiatoss, Tne Blips were not pat out until July, but She potatoes were as lar^e and the yield as great as from slips put out in May. As is usual, when this crop matures rapidly, the eating quality of the pota toes was not as goou, but their tending value for stock was unimpaired.

We call the a'lention of our read ers to the interesting details of our clubbing proposition with The At lauta Weekly Constitution, publish¬ ed in full elsewhere. As will be seen, the joint price of our paper aud The Weekly Constitution for one year is but $1,25. Every sub¬ scriber wid not only get the two pa¬ pers for little more than the price of on* - , but wid in addition, have a chance to participate without cost in the ‘‘Missing Word Contest,” the premiums for which are offered by both papers. Every subscriber is enutled to guess at the missing word in the following sentenct; •‘SUPPLY AND DEMAND ARE AS INTIMATELY “...........” AS CAUSE AND EFFECT.’’ and the one who suppdes the correct word will be entitled to 10 per cent of the amount received from sub¬ scriptions not only from The Con¬ stitution, but a 1 of the papers par¬ ticipating iu this clubbing offer with The Constitution be’ween now and the 1st of March The Constitution guarantees that at least five hu l dred dollars in cash will be distribu¬ ted, and probably the amount will be between $1,000 and $2,000. If j mo'e than one person supplies cor rectly the missing word, the cash amount will bedistributed among the successful guessers.
