TUB I ARMERS’ PROBLEM.
In last w<(;k's issue w<* insisted (as we
have repeatedly done before) (hat it has I
heretofore proven utterly Impracticable to
reduce the area of cotton by a few so- |
called ‘ representative »ne:i" passing resolu- I
lions to reduct . f'ivo hundred thousand i
cotton, growers, scattered all the way from I
North Carolina to Texas, and from I'Toriihr
to Tennessee, are too many to control In j
any such loose and unauthorized way. .
Mind you, w>- wish It were otherwise—that '
It might he don"; but it cannot, and "that's >
till there is of it." Our insistence has been
that every farin' r should do for himself,
and by himself, without regard to others,
( what he wishes the others would do,
or thinks they should do. It is sheer lolly
for a farmer to assume that others are
going to do what lie does not exp ‘Ct to do
himself, that ( reduce their cotton aeo age
for the good of tin whole. It is useless to .
rely on the co-operation or general action i
of tin- great mass id' farm, rs for the general
good. Human beings are not actuated by •
such unselfish motives ami considerations.
Therefore, we insist that every farmer |
should be governed by his own cireum- :
slanci s and b.v consideration of ids own i
p- sonal Interests. This may lie called sel
fishness, but it is really not that motive ii
all) bad sense. It i>- a practical application
of the law of self-pi eservatlon.
As We itaV’ repeatedly urged I-.fore, the
practical application of the policy we ml
i . ~ is for a farmer to determine for him
self wheth- r he can attord to mal<<* hi.-
u.-'i d number of I ales of cottori next yi-ar,
for the price now ruling. If in lannot. then
let him resolve at once that lie. will not
plant for so many bales. If he is confi
dent that lie cm make one-half or one
third as many bales .is lie usually male's
by concentrating his manures ami fertiliz- '
era on a. very miieii smaller area, of his,
!>■ iter land, thin do so. it he concludes j
that ho . aiinot profitably produ-o morel
limn live or te.i bales, to be sold at i> to '• ,
c ids wlu n ready for lie m irlo-t, t*.. n I'd '
iiiin resolve to cut his .'ire.i down to live 01 i
ten aeri s. I.istly, it lie honestly believes 1
that he cannot profitably produce any eot- |
ton If It musi be old tor •> to •> een.s a '
pound, why, let him simply resolve, and j
Stick to it, that he will not plant any. Un
li aS. peril.ip.-. er.ougn to keep in peed.
Every intelligent farmer knows that the
col.. :> tli.it is produced cn ids best land.
]ilierally and judiciously fertllizcvl. Is the
cheapest eotmg the least per pound.
When we say '•.iudlcioitsly fertilized.'’ we
include the saving and utilizing .very
home rnanuri.il I'- .- on’ e to the f ullest possi
ble extent, and then suppleim nting his
domestic manures b.v buying (tor cash it

A Balky Horse.
J. If. ■Goff, Gonzalez, Tox.—l have a
horse that will not work in shafts and wi I
try to go backward when hitched to the
wagon. 1 have resorted to all the remedies
I know of ex-ept a good pitchfork. If you
will toll me how to cure him through The
Constitution you will greatly oblige an old
subscriber.
Elrst. whatever yon do, don’t use the
pitchfork, but only on kindness, persuasion,
coaxing, etc. We have never heard of a
horse being cured of the vice of balking by
I any amount of beating or other cruel treiit
| nient. f'on’t bo hi a hurry to get him
I started off. See that he Is not overloaded
and that his collar tits properly. There are
various expedients to get a horse started
from a balk. Sometimes one plan will suc
ceed and then again it will fail. We have
sev.-til times succeeded by throwing a
handful of dirt tn the horse’s mouth.
Others have succeeded by tying a corncob
tightly In one ear. Others by blindfolding.
i We think one of the best methods is to tic
j a line around one fetlock (forefoot), run it
' back through the beliyband to the driver,
i When he refuses to go pull life foot from
' the ground Hose up to his body and hold
I if there until he gets tin d of standing on
I three feet. Then give him the word. If he
■ still balks try the process again ami keep
' the foot up longer. Some have succeetled
' by driving a stake In the ground in front
i of the horse, trying the halter line to it
and (lien ".ill hands’’ go away and have
him to his refleelion for a half a day, if
necessary. Another plan is to place a
horse or mule, or a pair of them, in front
and hitch him to a rope or a strong halter
fastened around the b.alker’s n< ek and so
"snake” him along. Others, instead of pull
ing against his neck, carry a good rope
■ from (he singletree of the pilot horse back
1 to and under the balky horse’s tail. When-
■ ever lie yields and seent-s willing to go of
, his own volition give him some nice tid
: bit, an apple or a handful of oats or some
' thing ('.specially palatable. Try one after
another of the .above expedients and report
’ what success. Ix>t other owners of balky
horses or mules also try them ami report
results. Rut do not use the whip or other
harsh tr- .ittm nt, excepting' the pulling him
along by the power of another horse or a.
t'.iir of jioi. e . A jeiir of oxen is perhaps
betti r to do the "snaking” act.

Tlie Agricultural Department Has
an Expert To Separate and Se
lect Seed.
Wu.shington, Nov* mbor 4.—(Special (’or
n*Bp<»ii<l(‘n< <*.)—“The most Important thing
In agriculture Is the s* rd which the farin-
! <rs plant,’ says Mr. Gilbert 11. Ilieks. in

t’re clepends iij< n thes***l which is plant'd
mure loan anything else, even th weather.
No matter how g<»od the soil may he, or
Low favorable the weather, if farmers
pl; nt poor seed, they will have poor crops.
“The x\ork ot ■ • .■ tion is ha.-- *1
I..’g*ly on similar work which lias been
<arrled «>a f'*r about thirty y«*;*rs in Eu
rope. where there is at the present tim**
in the neighborhood of one hundred seed
tr* ting stat lons. The object of th* <
tioiis is to -< f’ure to the farm, r.s some
n *-ans by which they can h” assured of
getting first-class s *rd. N* arly all of th**
bad weeds in this country are introdueed
into fields through s< eds which :*re bought
for sowing.
“'l'll*’ farmers are at a disadvantage in
this matter of buying seed, because they
cannot toll by th** looks <*f the seeds
; whether 1 hex- are fresh or net. or If they
| are exactly the kind which the par* h.!S< r
i d* sires. In case they are not what. tn* y ar*-
1 i♦ ‘commend* d to b«. < ach farmer not only
I loses the |»ri*‘e of the s**ed. but also th**
time and labor « xp nd *1 on thejn, as it Is
often too Late t*> start another crop. Thus
jou will set* that it i- ♦ •:•:* ♦ * *lingly im
portant to the farmer to know that the
purchased s d is true to it: nam*‘. On the
-of ¥ this department many ot the s**'**l
dealers throughout the country have vol
untarily guaranteed their seeds. They ar.*
tested to how their purity, vitality and
genuineness..
• Tlu re lias h< ”n great agitation in this
country about the lius-iau thistle, which
.spread ov* r a good share *»f the northwest,
(♦’id eongr« ss was ask -d to appropriate
sl.<eu.d-o for the purpose o f exterminating
that agricuitural j>* st. it has been ]»rox» ii
that th*- obnoxious weed c.*m • here in flax
s*,*;. The wild ♦. lion, which grows around
th* national '-ipita! au*l gets in th** milk
;m*l butti r, was spread through the winter
oats, in fact, nearly all w*** *ls are developed
by b”ing mixed with good seed, and thus
ar** plant*-*! by the farmers themselves.
"The work of this dix-ision has as its first
object th*- creation of a sentiment among
the farmers and those jdaming seed in
favor of good seed, so that th**y will know
th*’ differ* nee b :wc»*n bad and good s* • *l,
and l»v willing io pav a rea-*»nably larger
prfe»* in order to obtain that which is the
Ih - t.
“A second object of this division is to
place a eh* * k on -*•* •1 *F al*-rs so that ih y
cannot s- I poor seed to farmers, as is done
in a gn at many cases at th*- pr*s**nt tim'*.
For ♦ xainpl* . w • have just received a lot

jibsvc is a. fair example of lie way some
sc* «l men imjiose upon the public. Their
catalogues are full of advertisements of
new at <L rare ami woriderful varie ties,
‘ which turn <>ut to be fraudulent.,
! “Aiioth* r is a sample of Kentucky blue
grass, which was sold a.-, first-•■l.iss s ■• »!.
and .-ho’ild ha\«* sprout’d from to ■

1 H is thus >e* h that unscropitlou- se- dm* n
' no not hesitate to palm off *d*l sb*”k which
i has become useless, on tie- ur.--aspect ing

i.s another of the bri i . of th* work
of this division. Another lat. amp’*- is
that, of alfalfa clox *:. v. .• -i m* • *\-

very small and rest-inbl*-.; pi***es of dirt,
so that *»nly an expert van detect its ]•’•*>-
cm-. I; is our duty to warn the people
against it.
“Another of the ]ot is a sample of ‘r*d

sold to Ameri* an <!• al* r- at 2 ! : *•*-r.ts per
pou ,d to use in adulterating ( lover seed,
this sample contained tint 1 per cent of

seed.
' There Is a plant which belongs to the

bitt which is of very little use a- a forage
plant, **:i!h’*l the ’yellow treci'dl.’ ’Th**
s.-cds of this plant ( los«*ly resemble, in
size, shape and eoior, those of th* alfdf.i

ent time for tin sole purpose of adulterat
ing clover <♦•*•<]. Trevfoll se* *1 is wr\
much cheaper than clover and the dealers
do not. se*-m to have any trouble in selling
it for clover.
“The s* creta.ry of agriculture offers to

Farmers * r seedmen can avail t a*-mu iv« s
of this opportunity, and the department
makes reports to them of tin* result of th*
