Agrfcultural Items.


 l Little Rock Rural and workman. Here is an agricultural truth well stated: Success in farming depends as much on fertile minds as on fertile fields.
 The bad effects of Q drouth can be largely overcome by the free use of the harrow. Mellow soil retains moisture through the driest seasons. Thorough cultivation is what makes farming profitable. 4 "lick and . promise" the promise too oft len not fulfilled, is one of the most serious drawbacks to successful farming.
 The Milo Maze should be planted as soon as the present press of going | over the crop is through with. As q forage plant, one that will withstand our most serious drouths, it stands at the head of the list.
 Ten hours pay for eight hours work is not to our mind the best way to put this sort of proposition. We suggest that the easiest way to solve this problem is to agree upon a price per hour, and allow every one to labor as many hours as he desires. If this rule were followed, there need be no misunderstanding in the matter.
 Look we'll to your manure pile, see that the accumulations about the farm and stock lot are not allowed to go to waste. Grounds that have been enriched by the application of plenty Of barn.yard manure will be greatly benefited by the use of lime. Twenty-Five bushels of unslacked lime applied once in four or five years, works wonders on some soils. Slakc and apply on the plowed land. We are in tue midst of an unusual drouth for this season of the year in this region, and it belooves our farm CTS to keep the blows harrows and hoes going to keep the soil mellow. It is also fair to presume that wet apell is Tn the near future, when the grass and weeds will far outstrip the growth of the planted crops, and it will be wise husbandry to clean up and get ready for it. SOW MiLLET.
 It is time our farmers were msk- Ing up their minds as to the matter of millet. There are waste acres of land, farms, which cannot be used for corn or cotton, which will answer most admirably for millet In pre- paring forthls crop the ground should be thoroughly plowed then narrowed until quite mellow. after which the seed may be sown, say one half bushel to the acre, rather more than this if the soil is very rich, after which it should be rolled in order to make the surface smooth, or It may I be brushed in with heavy brush. This is one of the best of hay or for age plants, besides the seed is of the most nutricious character, and is most excellent food for all kinds of stock, more especially poultry. II this crop IS grown for hay alone, it should be cut when in bloom, but fl both seed and hay are desirable, it is best to wait until the grain is in the dough. We hope that our farm. friends will make sure of goodly supply of this most excellent forage, az there is nothing that can be pro duccd upon the farm more cheaply than mlllet. and no other class of for' age serves it's purpose to better ad
