Wonder what is the matter with
Daisy Belle we havo hot heard fronf
her in some time.
Cp-To-Date Facta.
One-half of the people of the world
don’t know how the other half can
affotd to got married.
Every girl has an idea that when a
man proposes to her she will blush
and answer him with her eyes.
The average woman’s idea of tak¬
ing caro of a’husband, is making nim
wear a chamois chest protector all
winter and take a tonic in the spring.
You can tell when a man has a
literary wile by the fewness of the
buttons on his clothes.
No man can sorve two masters in
a Christian country. Ho would be
arrested for bigamy.
Nome*women are so jealous of
their husbands that thoy won’t even
leave thorn alone with.their thoughts.
In youth we were told to make
hay while thj sun shine*. When
wo gtew older many of us thought
tho proverb should road, ‘ make love
■while the moon shines.”
It bait been remarked that a
widow can make herself so fascinat¬
ing because she knows all about meti
and the only man who knows any-
thing about her is dead.
Young men on tho verge of matri¬
mony need no advice, as whether
they do ot do not marry, they arc
sure to regret it.
Why should men worry in this
life? Yet they do worry. They
spend half of their lives wishing for
something and tho other half regrot-
ling that they got it.
It was a matt with more truth (han
politeness who said (hat many wom¬
en take to religion when they are too
homely to be attractive to the men.
Politics make strange bedfellows,
but there are many who are so anx*
ious to save the country that they
would sleep with a wet po. die in
order to catch a vote,
Mauy, people that we know acquire
a reputation for great knowledge by
statine a misstatement in a positive
and convincing manner.
Many self-made men admire their
creator, while the rest of the world
think the maker made a very poor
job.
Those who deny themselves pleas¬
ure when young leave enough for
children and lawyers to fight over
after they are dead.
Any man who can find an attrac¬
tive woman who will look at- him
twice is justified in making a fool of
himself.
Some womeu consider it great
sport to lead a young on and then
tell him “no.” Some years hence
they will be found lavishing their
affections on a choice collection of
tabby cats.

roBAaE corn as a fodder crop on for
silage.
th ® beKt methods of managing
«* " «» an, somewhat conflicting
opinions, but tbeso result from a mis-
apprehension rather than from any real
difference in the proper plans for plant-
cultivating, etc. It depends upon
the purpose for which the erop is in-
tended, ns to which method should be
adopte d. If the crop is intended for
ioAAert that is, to he cut and cured, the
object t0 gecuro a j arge yieM „f sma n

abundance of leaves and little grain.

makes a good and oompleto rat on. But
in planting corn for the silo, the object
is to secure a good yield of well dc-
veloped stalks, each one bearing at least
0U6 we n grown cnr apon it- The plants
must not be crowded too closely to-
ff ctber - The rows should be at least 3 to
4 feet apart, and the plants should stand
from 16 to 20 inches in the row. If the
plants stand closer than this the stalks
do not have room to mature sufficiently
and the consequence is watery stalks,
and the ears which form are not well
filled with grain. .Silage made from
such corn as this is apt to be very unsat-
factory-sour and innutritious. From
this explanation wo see that fodder corn
should lie crowded as close as the
strength of the laud will admit, while
a com crop intended for the silo should
have sufficient distance to produce a
heavy yield of stalks and enrs sufti-
ciently matured to he cured into good,
sweet silage,
THE PEA CROP.
Field peas give us another crop for
forage, of which too much cannot be
said. Among the many advantages of
this erop is the fact that it can bo sown
from May until July, and also that it
can be utilized as a three-fold food, for
man, for beast and for the land. No
matter in what way we decide to use it
it will return with interest whatever
amount we have invested iu it.
Mi llet.
Millet also may be seeded at any time
from May to August, aud though it re¬
quires richer land and more thorough
preparation than corn or peas, it is a
good investment where forage promises
to lie short. One bushel of German
millet, , sown UV on an acre of 'ana, land well weu
prejiarod and the seed harrowed m, will
make a lioavy yield, and when cured at
the proper time, that is before the seed*
mature, will make a most aceeptablo ad¬
dition to our forage supply.
sorghum.
Sorghum is a crop which should find
a place on every Georgia farm. It is
not affected by drouth to the ruinous
degree that our corn crop often is, and
the stalk and the grain are both ox-
ccllent food for cattle and hogs, besides
which there is usually a good demand
for the syrup. With the improved ays-
tern of evaporating, now in general use,
the syrup has become a desirable article
of food in most farm households. Dur¬ |
ing tho hot season the man who is for¬
tunate enough to have a sorghum patch ;
is assured of green food for his stock [
■when every other crop is drying np, j
while tho cured fodder makes a uutri-
tious and appetizing feed for the winter
months.
It is not too late to p’aut any of these 1
four later crops—indeed, than this date, all and may under be planted favor- j
able conditions will be very satisfactory.
Though there are other crops, which
iu time may supersede them, we would

The easiest way, says the bulletin, to

ing abont 15 minutes, or until a clear
liquid is formed, and then dilute to 2

This is the season when it is neces¬
sary to wage an unceasing warfare
against all kinds of insect and fungus
pests, and the above combination of
Bordeaux and white Ar. enic is effective
destroying a large, proportion of these
most annoying and destructive enemies.
The horticulturist or farmer, indeed any
man, who looks to the products of the
soil as the reward of his labor, would do
well to study the diseases and insects
which are liable to attack bis special
crops and at the first indication of their
presence nse active and prompt meas¬
ures to prevent serious injury. Some¬
times a few days’ delay in using proper
remedies is fatal, more especially in the
rapidly maturing crops. Personal ob¬
servation in the different sections of the

fields, and put the manure in compact

Is followed by a crop of winter oats, as
it should be in the cotton belt, there
will bo found enough to carry the oat
crop through to success. Then after tl, _«
oats are cut give all the land a liberal
dose of the mineral plant foods that the
pea delights in—acid phosphate and pot¬
ash in the form of muriate of potash.
Spread this also broadcast, for the
broadcast use of manures and fertili¬
zers is what tends to the improvement
of the land, and its building np for im¬
proved crops. Then sow the land in
peas, and by the use of the previous
dressing of 300 to 400 pounds of the
phosphate and potash mixture you
should get a crop of hay that will ena¬
ble you to feed more stock than ever
and thus raise more manure to put out
broadcast.
‘‘blit what we especially wanted to
oppose was the laborious battling of
earth, manure, cottonseeds and all sorts
of rubbish to make a pile, and to turn
tell mix and pile and repile the mix¬
ture, thinking that by this process the
whole will become stable manure, is a
groat waste of labor. If there are valu¬
able accumulations of wood and mould
handy, haul it and spread it on the land
aud haul and spread the stable manure
and put your cottonseed down in a fur¬
row deep between the cotton rows,
whore after it has rotted the cotton
roots Will find it just when they need
it most—at fruiting time.
“Acid phosphate and potash; spread
broadcast on the land for a big crop of
peas, will leave nitrogen enough in the
land for the cotton that is to follow,
and you will need to buy, if anything,
only the same mineral fertilizers, while
the great crop of peavine hay will en¬
able you to feed more stock and to add
a profitable industry for the winter in
felling beeves or milk and butter.”—

What Should Fanners I>o to Raise
Cotton at a Profit?
Question. —I have seen the unjust
Criticisms which have been spread
abroad in regard to the experiment car¬
ried on at the Georgia Experiment Sta¬
tion as to the cost of raising cotton. I
remember the manner in which your
words were at the time perverted, and
also the effort which has all along been
made to get, political capital out Of
what was really a most sound piece of
advice to farmers. This was six years
ag<, \nd if this advice had been gener-
uih heeded much of the subsequent
hardship consequent on the low price of
cotton would have been avoided—in¬
deed I, with many others, believe that
the price of cotton would have been
maintained at a reasonable figure, be¬
cause, under your system, it would hard
been impossible to so overcrowd the
markets as to make our staple crop al¬
most valueless, as it has been, except to
cotton buyers and speculators, the
the farmer not six being and “in all it.” that Reviewing has
past years, 0?eu
said, pro and con, as to the low price of
cotton, cost of production, etc., what i
your present opinion as to how we shall
meet, and combat conditions, which so
far have proven too much for us?
Answer.—M y position on this ques¬
tion is the same today that it was six
years ago, namely, that when a farmer
has made ample arrangements to raise a
full supply of bread aud meat for his
family and food for his cattle, mules
and other farm stock, then he is at lib¬
erty, and not until then, to cultivate in
cotton all the land which he can suc-
cessfully manage. And just here I
would emphasize the fact that at pres-
ent low prices no cotton crop 1 can he a
8uccess "here , it ,, takes . . 3 of „, land , to

tba(l instead of being a loser the farmer
will be a gainer and that instead of bo-
ing extravagant it is the most eeonom-
ical, as well as the most intelligent,
method that can be followed. The al-
most universal practice of forcing a few
more pounds of cotton from our hard

100 or 200 pounds of commercial fertili¬
