hut the fact that with it grain
crown enormous yields OF straw
With deficient heads shows that 1t
sometimes backs in the mineral e'e-
ment most essential to successful pro
duction of grain. This is very apt
to be the ease where gram or mix
have been sold from the farm o a
long series of years, and only straw
and hay used as food tor STOCK.
Clover hay makes rich manure alone.
Other hay needs grain feed with IL.
R N SMALL BREEDS.
Where the cheap production OF
meat is an object the advantage OF
the larger breed is obvious. In
each animal some waste is required
to supply the energy, and
the smaller they are, the greater the
loss for a given weight. Animals or
the same kind very nearly
in proportion to their weight. Thus
the large, coarse wooded sheep may
eat twice as much as a Merino only
one-haIf it's weight. But it will add
more than twice al much tat and
flesh, as it does not waste any more
than the smaller sheep. Very young
animals are an exception to this
rule Of the larger gaining most rap
idly. A litter of pigs weighing per
haps sixty pounds will double in
weight very quickly if we'll fed.
ANNUAL GROWTH OF TREES.
So long as a tree lives it adds
something, if only a little, to it's
growth. While young the annual
extension of the shoots will often
be two feet or more, but az extension
proceeds the number of shoots to
which the sap is diverted is greatly
increased, thus lessening the amount
to each and reducing growth. When
apple trees make a yearly growth
of ten to fifteen inches it is as much
as is consistent with much fruitful
ness. On old neglected trees an
annual growth of two or three inches
and sometimes Of only an inch, per
year will be made. This is natures
call for and better cultiva-
ton. In manuring old trees be
sure and give plenty of mineral fer
~tilizers, especially potash and phos-
phate, as these are needed in max
ing fruit. Most of the material for
leaves and twigs is carbon, which
the tree can get from the atmOs-
phere.

WHITE OR YELLOW CORN.

The preference for either white
or yellow corn is wholly a matter of
taste. Yellow corn has generally
rather more oil, and is preferable for
fattening, while white corn meal is
better for working horses and grow
ing stock. The Western or Dent
corn is less hearty than u Eastern
Flint varieties. 1t has a greater
proportion of husk, does not weigh
so much per bushel and is worth
less per pound. 49,

ian guano. Should any of your
readers try Mr.. Yoder's plan, they
should Nsee to it that the stable
manure IS fresh and strongor they
will be disappointed. IF they could
get a fertilizer containing as high
per cent. bfammonia as the Peruvian
guano sdld before the war, they
would fnd it equally as efficient.

DEFICIENCIES IN MANURE.

1t is customary to speak of manure
from the barnyard or stable as the
standard, and many good farmers
say if they could get plenty of that
they would use no other. But there
is great variation in stable manure.
1t generally contains something of
everything that the plant needs;

not be more than ten inches square
and the auglT struck something hard
there last night, but whether it was g
cross driven spike or something else
could not be learned. The mystery
will be fully investigated tomorrow
and If the box is found to have treas

cheerful, as several of our farmers

Liberty has determined to give a
mammoth barbecue on the 81 of i,l-
ly, as the 4th comes on Sunday. She
is determined to make the Sd day
not soon to be forgotten. Some of
your readers may say there is some
object in view We would simply
say, the Court House, of course. Some
of our citizens have already located q
site for the same.
On the outskirts of Liberty can
be seen in fair weather a specimen Of
industry rarely seen in any commu-
nifty. Mr.. Thomas G. Boggs 92 wears
otage, with his hoe working all the
day long in the corn field, and T must
say he has the finest Corn in rpper
Carolina. He is polite, courteous,
and talks with pleasure to all whom
he meets.

the looks of his place very much by
whitewashing fences and outbuildines

erty to-day, for sojourn in Hender-
sonville, N. G.

to say, never in my life have seen a
more encouraging prospect for small
gram wheat and oats in many places
already heading.

SAYS thirteen hundred and twelve
bales of cotton has been shipped from
this place to date.
