James Kincaid, of Fairfield, an Irish gen

years In the Legislature from Fairfield

cotton In the up-cvuintry, but erected In
1795 the first water gin This gin was sit

a number of weeks.
If our Januarys were uniformly as tnl’d
as the mildest In any record of ten years,
th** CVntraJ Georgia tru k**r. besides
planting English imws nd spinach, could
also pbint many other cr*)|s. sti* h

From way-down In Florida to wav-up
In Georgia this la one crop that can be
pl.tntcd one time or another thl* month.
csfM-cially where the dwarf kinds ar**
us* and and the majority t*t truckers have
found that the dwarf kinds are much th**
more satisfactory.
Th dwarfs, such as Tom Thumb. IJttle
G m. Wonder, etc., can be ma*k‘ to yb*l 1
ntMMit as much to the acre as the very
tallest and with a groat ileal leas trou
ble.
Th* dwarf kinds will ullow of much
heavier manuring and if the land Is well
plowed and the row-* laid off an close as
they can I**. It is wonderful the yield they
will make.
They do t*r>t hear ns continuously aril
so late In the season a* some of the very
tall-growing kinds, but this does not con
cern the trucker. He want* the crop to
come on as curly as possible, and to 1h
able to get the whole crap In the course
of two weeks from the day they begin
io bear.
Then the land will be clean***! and an
• flier valuable crop started on the land in
May. |*erha|s In Aj*rll
IVa* can le made a very profitable crop
ly the trucker If he understand* how to
grow them nd how to ship to best ad
vantage.
In planting this crop to Is* market* !
gr* * n It pays to mix several kind* to
gether. This plan will *k> where the

can save seeds of th* mixed crop for his
own use a second year.
Irlti I’olwtoea.
The Florida urower will plant thW*
m>nth. where the M •kll** tleorzia urower
will wait at least six week* longer. In
the latter section there is nothing gained
by putting thle crop In before the Wth
of February. It would be Adml**d.
to plant the crop early In January here
in such a winter i* the mildest out of t*n
did. not knowing when thl* winter is
due. It would not be wise to take the
risk.
Three years out of five the potatoes are
severely nipped by fros*. ne It Is when
planted Feb. 10. Hut where |>ntatoes ire
deep planted and the *ed cuts contain
two eyes, the frost does little or no
harm.

It le conceded by all good Judge* that
spinach i* by fur the most deferable
alod plant y*t discovered. It is a very
delightful dish when served properly, ami
it is credlteu with possessing i mark I
medicinal value, being alterative ami c
ii.ocil purifier, when urd freely in the
winter or early spring.
Next to spinach the preference should
fall on mustard.
The Georgia Cracker may choose <• dish

is not wtee to have such taste.
Osloa*.
In Middle Georgia It Is not safe to so*v
the seed before the very last of th*?
month, and as n general tHlng it is much
safer to wait until the mUklle of Feb
ruary.. The young plants ire easily
heaved out bjr freeze, ns the roots ar*-
very delicate and near the surface. Two
freezes and two thaws alternating %vlll de
stroy all young plants at all, like onions
in their habit.
Where h crop of this kind is affected
by a freeze th** only thing that can b*>
i done to save it Is to roll the ground along
! the rows A heavy barrel will do for a
roller for young onions.

W e do nt hoar so muoh of rompowt
rnaklnK nowadays as we dll years
ago. Mow! every frm**r and trucker ha*
reached the conclusion that R Is cheaper
uihl iK-tUr to make* the compost rlglit In
the furrow Instead of mixing th mater
ia In In the horn or other house before u|*-
plylng t to fhe furrow**
Whut little of lot manure a farmer
has It Ik cheaper to haul out every few
month*, scatter it right front the cart and
wagon Into th** furrows and th*-n eprin
kit* It with acid i*hophai* or kainlt. one
or Ihe other, or both. li*t on It anl the
work is disposed of.
This Is the best way of making compost
even with th*- limited materials alToni*-*!
by cotton seed and tiid phiiephate or
stable manure and lot scrapings w it hush***
or any |*otseh salt. Uomj***st mixing re
quires considerable in muni la lor In which
there is small profit se* n g nernl thing. The

Other?* bmkita the mule have a cow. prob
ably a hog or two. Very few comparative
!y. keep a- much as six head of grown
wtork. ami without stock It l not possible
to make organt** manure In any profit
able quantity. The farmer that would
prosper sliould
tiet More ttsek.
After a half doien head have been se
cured the increase drns rapblly anl oft
times Is surprising. In very few years
on the smallest farm there will t*e a dosen
or a score of manure makers and from
tha* time the real prosperity of the farm
er will begin. It Is utterly lmjx>>db> for
any farmer to got th success out of
f-'jmtng without stock; thi has a
settled (get for a tong flat**.
Bpeclalty farming su.Ve*ds only under
exceptions! conditions as in n*w sections
ui <I settled localities. Thta I* not
regarded as true farming anywhere The
r*-ai farmer must make his farm self-sup
porting. it cannot be so without stock.

Second Crop Potatoes.
I have been raising second crop pota

them quite successfully. By the middle
of September ! hud a fair stand from
seed planted the last of July, thicker
than for crop, at least tnr****-quar

surface * that time. From the discus
sions of thi* subject that have apt**ar*-d

second crop potlttoe* could not is* grown
further North than Tennessee, but this Is
a mistake I live in Northwest Arkansas
on an elevated mountain plateau and

Potted Plants.
A great many plants are severely In
jured by not being repotted at the proier
time If a plant Ui growing rapidly, an I
fills the pot It Is In with root*. It should
at that time receive a shift to a tot
of lrger size in order that development
may go on without interruption. If it Is
not given then the plant become* p>t
i ►
which it will U. * long time in r* overlng.
Therefore, as soon a* you discover that
your plant* have filled their old pot* with
routs, shift them to pot* of larger size.
If making active growth at the time If
they are nearly dormant when this condi
tion is discovered, you can wait until
they show signs of renewed activity anJ
then shift.
All plants are Injured by allowing In
sects t remain on them. Get rid o r
them as soon ns pos-lb|e nft* r flnl
them. A good Insecticide Is made by dP
solving a quarter of a pound >f Ivory

Ihe plants In It. This *>i only rid* the

Potash for Fruit Trees.
