England is mcat-eater, while France
is cereal eater Or an eater of bread and
oil. Yesterday had long talk with
lie Comte Ferdinand de Lesseps in re-
gard to the value of cereals Tor food.
NJ. de Lesseps worsed thousands of
Italians, Turks and Frenchmen on the
Suez Canal.
do you really think the cereals are
stronger food than meat?'' l asked.
Certainly he replied. Zone pound
of dry wheat four is worth as much as
three pounds of we: beef. Scald the
pound of flour and see! you have gal
Ion of mush. YOU could not eat it in
three days. If YOU feed the cereals to
cattle as they do in England it takes
eight pounds of grain to make pound
OF meat. So, why feed the grain to
animal tramps? Why not eat it our
selves and do away with q surplus pop
uIation of 50.O00,OO0 cattle, hogs and
Sheep animal tramps? England is
supporting perhaps SO,000,0uo cattle,
sheep and hogs, and 40,o00,00a people
or rather she supports her cattle and
| buys bread from America to feed her
people. France supports 100000
people and about %, 100000 cattle, hogs
and sheep"
Then you believe in raising more
grain and less cattle and hogs2' L
asked.
Certainly. One acre of cereals in
France will support five men, while it
would take two acres Of grass to sup
rort one steer and, in the end, one man
would eat the steer. The advantage of
| the cereals over the meat Is as five to
one. So, You see, the steer is an an
necessary tramp. The Engl;shman,
continued De Lesseps, INSISTS on roast
beef, every pound of which cost eight
pounds OF cereals. The Frenchman
| eats the cereals himself. He buys mill
ions OF gallons o. cotton-seei oil in
America at three cents per pound. This
he eats in his salad, in his soup, and in
his bread and pie-crust. The French
man rcfineS millions of gallons of
American cottou-seed oil, sends it back
to America. and sells it for two or three
dollars gallon. Cotton seed oil is super
seding peanut oil. and olive oil is almost
a thing of the past. For wears the pea
nut crop of Tennessee and North Caro-
lima l.as been sent to Marselles and
made into olive oil. Cotton-seed oil
has been found by the French to be bet
ter and cheaper than peanut oil. To-
day all Spain, Southern France, Italy,
Turkey and Austria are living on Amer

Garner the Grain,

Losses which farmers of this country
sustain annually, through neglect TO
garner their grain at the proper time
amounts. in the aggregate, to an enor-
nous sum- Injury to wheat and other
cereals is sometimes unavoidable,
through the coming of sudden and
long-continued storm, interspersed with
now and then few hours of hot sun
shine. Wheat will grow in the shock
under such circumstances, and he is 4
wise man indeed who can prevent it.
Were such condition OF things
exists once. grain is injured fifty times
by neglect. 1t is shocked and allowed
to stand day after day through the ex-
cu.se of having something else to see to,
and ut last damaged By storm or al
lowed to become so dry that loss is suS-
tanned by the grain Smelling when
handled. Nothing but an emergency
should prevent the farmer storing his
grain just Is soon as it is tit TO 60 to the
stack or NOW.
Ii the wheat is ripe. OF so dry that it
shells easily, see that you have suitable
man to do the loading and stacking
Some men will tread out more grain
upon a wagon or stack than their SER
vices are worth. The loader should
occupy but two positions when building
up-One near the front, and the other
near the rear of the wagon, and, when
he does move. should be careful to step
upon the bands instead of the heads OF
the bundles. Some claim that there is
no great loss from Smelling grain, as the
loose kernels viii go into the rack-bed,
or upon the barn Eoor. BNt they are
mistaken. Grain will rattle from a
Toad of over-ripe wheat while the same
( is being trundled to the barn, and that
which falls, into the rack shakes out
when returning to the field, as no hay
| rack which we ever saw had tight
bottom aud sides. The grain also which
falls upon the barn floor is spoiled fol
family use by the wagon wheels crush

mixed with the droppings of the horses
or dirt of the floor. Besides all this.
there is a loss again by Smelling in the

Our advice is to garner the grain just
as soon rs it is ready for storing, and
let no other work prevent--Iribune

Texas Mares.

There is trade being established in
the state which is destined sooner or
later to produce revolution in stock
raising. and the sooner it is elected the
better it will b. for the farmers. The
people are too prone 70 follow after
the big guns of this and the other
States in stock-raising, and with but
Little profit to themselves. While it
NAV pay one or two men to devote
themselves to raising blooded stock, it
is plain if everybody tr es it a loss will
result. There must BE- some to buy:
conse luently everyone must not be q
producer, or there would be no market.
Now way Is presented to avoid that
suicidal polio, and establish n lucrative
branch of farming. The Texas mare
offers the solution "Oh." says one.
al would not have . Texas mare ~
"Why ''Uh, they buck, are wild
and intra"table-" That may all be
true, but would not the native horses
be so if they were let alone' of course
they would, and it has been demNn-
strated beyond controversy that the
mares or horses of texas ae. when
broken to the saddle or harness. rs
gentle and reliable as any other.
The old mustang of Mexico is unques-
tionably tricky animal, but he Is
hardy and ongliyed. There have
been so many stations taken to Texas
from the Estates that its stock of
horses has undergone n revolution and
now. without the irand. no one would
able to tell whether mare was
from Texas or tennessee. They are
gentle. large in size and in all respects
rs useful as those of any other State.
Yet, let farmer see brand on horse
and he holds up his hands in holy hor-
ror and declares he would not have
him. While the simple man follows
this course. the wise man will stock his
pastures with tn m, and after awhile it
will be seen if the former is able to
com etc with the latter in raising males
or horses. Those VINO contemplate
raising mules have now an opportunity
to stock their farms ut low prices. Ger
tainly the man who pays fifty dollars
can compete with one who pays three
times as much.-tor. NashciiLe Ban

Keep the Weeds Down.

Do not wat for the corn and the
potatoes to. get large and strong.
but as soon as the roMS can
be seen- the cultivator should
be set at work. Delay at this gives the
weeds time to get strong stand and a
deep roofing. when it VIII be much
more difficult to destroy them. Ihe
time to. hoe is gust before the weeds
make an appearance. This applies to
field and garden alike. I hen there are
no weeds to. trouble, and all that is
called ior is TO simply stir the surface
of the ground. This is an easy and
simple operation compared with the
tearing ous and destroy ne m lttei
growth of deep rooted weeds. The
modern practce of substituting the
horse and implement Tor the former
hand work is based on. this early atten-
ton t. the fields. If the fields were
deeply stirred and properly fixed be-
fore the p anting. no deep working is
called for in the hoeing- "A stirring of
