RESOURCES OFTRE SOUTH.

There is no better field for invest
nent now than the South. In every
Southern State, says the Savannah
IFs,qs, there is great need Of money
to begin new enterprises or 10 carry
on those already established. Farmers
want money, business men want
money, aud those who are preparing
10 open up mixes or to start mann
factories want money. They sreEill-
ing to pay good interest for it, and
they can afford 10 pay il. Its a
mistake TO suppose that they cannot
furnish good security.
The South is rich 10 resources. Her
lands produce abundantly her forests
are valuable now, and her mines Of
iron and coal are equal to any in the
world.
1t needs only q glance at the assess
tnent rolls Of the different Southern
States 10 convince any one that the
Sspth is making rapid strides toward
wealth. Inl8Io the assessed value

Nanagemen of Young Uaifers

There is a divergence of opinions,
says a writer in the American Guilt
VatOr, as to the best age to allow q
heller to drop her first calf. The old
fashioned way was to wait until she
was two and three years old to develop
great size. But if she is three wears
old when the first calf is dropped, the
tendency to convert food into suet
fat, rather than into milk and butter,
has become too strong to be easily
overcome. In the light of recent ex-
perience which makes theinsignifcant-
ly small Jersey the best OF all COWS for
dairy purposes, it is not clearthat very
large size Is to be desired 1t certainly
Is not at the expense OF ability to pro-
duce milk and butter.
The time of the year that a heifer
cali Is born has something to do in
determining the age at which she
should breed. It is best to have q
heller fresh in milk in the spring. and
II she was herself a spring calf it would
usually make her about two years old.
But with a heifer born in the late
summer or fall it is better to let her
tarrOw at eilhteen or twenty months
A"'AlVA IMAM " wall d tdI Id CT. III
this makes the COW smaller than is
desirable, the heller may be kept far
row one year and allowed to grow.
She will give milk most OF the time
until nearly ready to calf again, and
this trait OF continued milk produc-
ton is even more valuable in a COW
than Is the ability to produce a large
quantity for a short time.
A heller grown and always kept on
one farm will make a more satisfactory
COW than one purchased from a dis
tanCe. There Is great love of home In a
COW, and any change is almost always
attended by diminution OF the milk or
butter product. By growing his own
cows a good farmer can have them to
be gentle, orderly and kind. If vicious
traits are developed, the best course is
to turn the heller over to the butcher
as soon as she can be fattened. Then
try again, and when a good COW has
been produced on the farm do not
part with her until too old for profta-
bic keeping.

claimed for each, and general
ly not without reason, for some
varieties do better under certain cir
cumstances than others. There are
certain qualities which every market
able potato must have. Color and
shape is not of so much Importance,
except that a salabe potato must be
reasonably smooth, bat the consumer
demands that the potato shall be dry
and mealy and OF good flavor when it
comes upon the table. Any variety
which has not these qualities is value
less for the market. Years ago We re-
member having seen potato with
deep, blue skin. that was very much
larger than any other potato we ever
saw, but it lacked pleasant flavor,
and was good for nothing but stock.
The chemical composition of thepota-
to differs according to the soil in which
1t Is grown, the season, character of
the fertilizers used, etc. The best
potato contains about 20 per cent OF
starch. But there are potatoes, such,
for instance, as are grown in wet soil,
that do not contain one-half that
quantity of starch. The starch of the
potato forms in the leaves, and, there
fore, to produce the best potato the
leaves must be kept perfect through
the growing. II they are destroyed,
whether by insects or disease, the
tuber must suffer. 1t will also readily
be seen, from the fact that the starch
Is formed in the leaves, that a green
potato does not contain as much
starch As a ripe one. Before theripen-
ing process has been completed all the
starch has not been carried down from
the leaves.
As before remarked the potato will
grow in almost any kind OF soil. We
have seen it growing in heavy SOIL
light soil, wet soil, dry soil and even
in soil that was so filled with stones
that 1t would seem that nothing could
grow in it. But a good potato soil
ought to be reasonably loose and fri
able. The nature OF the bulb would
suggest this. 1t ought to be porous
enough to insure dryneSs. In the proc
ess OF growth the tuber must push the
soil away from around it. and if it is
compelled to make room for itself
against heavy pressure, it may not
only grow out OF shape, but it must
nave us Nlldl forces nluflOuSly
drawn upon. Down in the AroostoOk
Valley, in Maine, they grow beautiful
potatoes. Yet that soil is what would
be called clayey soil. What then is
the reason Of its productiveness in
growing this crop? Certainly a stiff,
heavy soil is not suitable for potato
growing. But the Maine soil is not OF
that character. It contains a large
amount OF fine, slaty stone, which is in
state Of considerable rottenness, and
this makes the soil light. Whenever
