1t is mystery to us how an otherwise
neat and tasteful farmer can so far be
lost to sense of the 'eternal fitness of
things" as to make the roadside adjoining
his home and land receptacle fer all
the old rubbish that may be gathered on
or about the farm in the shape of old
bricks and mortar, stumps, brush heaps,
piles of rails, long rows of cobble stones
as dumped from the cart, boulders, etc.
If this class of farmers would remember
that they own these roadsides. subject
only to the town and country as right
of way for travelling purposes, we imag-
inc that farmers would cease to make a
nuisance of that portion of their premis-
es which, to say the least, should always
present as neat and tidy appearance as
the rest of their farm.

THE cRoP on ls7e.

Those whose lands will not pro
duce more than 250 to 800 pounds
of seed cotton to the acre will lose
money as they have in the past, Il
they have to rent land, or hire labor.
The only way for farmer to make
any clear money, on such land is TO
own it and work it within himself,
or rather with his own labor ; and
it will be very hard work to make a
bale of lint from FIVE or six acres.
Some continue to make cotton whose
lands produce but little over 20o
pounds or perhaps little less than
that number of pounds. 1t it is de-
sirable to make cotton on such places,
instead Of cuItivsting II acres to
make two bales would it not be betN
fer to select three or four OF the beet
acres and concentrate all the manure
at command upon these and make
the two bales. 1t would be less labor
for man and horse to do that. The
other land, not intended for corn,
could be sown to advantage in oats,
aud half the corn land could be also
sown in oats, and the other MANFRED
so as to make az much corn from
half. as ordinarily from the whole.
We simply throw out these sugges-
tions for consideration.
