system Of cropping-all cotton, all

which we had in mind with which to
point this paragraph is that II costs
TOO much 10 make our crops. We
grow poor, not so much because our
incomes are SO small as because our
out goes are so large. There is no
strict method in our operations and
no close economy of means. The ex-
pense Of making a crop has not been
reduced TO q minimum. We fence
in too large a field and travel over too
MANY acres to produce ten bales of
cotton or a hundred bushels of corn.
We pay out too much for labor aud

Feeding Cows Turnips.

The question is asked, docs it pay

them TO dry COWS but not to them

food in the turnip, SO as to save hay
