FARM NOTES.

It is now held that cabbage seed,
near the sea coast, is always better
than that raised inland.
Ensilage is good cheap feed for
dairy COWS, there is no doubt upon
that point.
Don't you know that intelligent
system of cultivation, and different
mode of using fertilizers would make
your farm rich?
Don't you know that by improving
in farming you could get great
deal more than you now get out OF
your investment!
Kerosene is the best Of all insect
destroyers and the cheapest, but as
it will injure plants and trees, 1t
should be applied as an emulsion.
What the farmer Of the South
needs to do, is, first, to get a better
price for his cotton; and, second, to
make his cotton at less cost
Ducks are better fertilizers than
chickens. Several plum and peach
trees in large duck yard of the
writer are twice as large and in much
better condition than those in the
hen-yards.-Iowa Homestead.
Peach pits planted now a little
later will terminate next spring.
Some of the finest peaches we have
seen this year were some excellent
fruit produced from stones put in
the ground only four years ago.
A few punches Of we'll rooted
parsley if transplanted now will
come out green in the spring, make
rapid growth and soon cover a large
space. 1t is a better method OF
securing bed than by depending on
seed.
Old Lady-"What's that awful
smell?"
Farmer - That's the fertilizer

Farmer-"Yes, m"
Did you ever know OF lawyer or
doctor making a success, who did
not read what other men have found
out and written about his business,
and who did not give his whole
time and energy to his profession!
If farmers would give more atten'
ton to grass-where it is possible to
raise grass-to oats, root crops, to
fruits and vegetables, two things
would result: First, living would
cost less than now, second, they
would have less land devoted to cot.

Fresh Tobacco News.

Mr.. Ohas. Vogt Of Quincy bought
fifty thousand pounds of tobacco in
four days. This makes him the
champion buyer of the season.
The following item shows what
can be done on Gadsden county land
by proper cultivation James Yves
ter, a colored man, received check
for 81, 16l.s7 for this years crop OF
tobacco raised on five acres of land.
He does not owe dollar, and has
money in the bank from his last years
crop. This makes over 1892 per
acre for six or seven months crop
that does not interfere with any
others.
Some tobacco crops have been sold
this week, but we have been unable
to ascertain what prices were paid.
Buyers object to giving us state
ment of their purchases, or prices
paid, but from what we can find out
it was from thirty-five to forty-fve
cents. 1t is now no uncommon thing
to see a colored man with a check
for several hundred dollars, the re-
suit of his summers work in his TO-
bacco crop, and next year the num-
Der will be greatly increased. Truly
tobacco is king.
Mr.. M. L. Floyd has been kept
busy this week receiving tobacco.
He has purchased about $4,000
pounds and is yet in the market.
His packing house is one half mile
west of Quincy.
During the past week more than
two hundred teams, loaded with
tobacco, have passed through town
bound for the different packing
houses. Soon the work of packing
the tobacco will begin and then the
colored population will have plenty
money, much of which will pass into
the hands of our merchants, and thus
all will be benefited. Quincy

T. w. Rhodes & Co. will start a
cigar factory at Punta Gorda. Fla.
1t will be called the Carojal Cigar
Manufacturing Company.
Let our farmers take courage, and
next year diversity their crops suffi-
GENTLY to put at least few acres in
tobacco. This years experiments in
the country have demonstrated that
it requires very little more labor to
produce an acre of tobacco than of
cotton. Yet the actual clear differ
ence is about as 10 TO in favor Of
tobacco, with no limit to demand.
Think of it, farmers. Think of it
now, in ample time for the next years

If there ever was a grander farce
ever perpetrated on American soil
than the working (?) of the roads
with an old worn-out cotton hoe,
show it. The supervisor gets nothing
for bossing and he has the hands to

the first rain that comes along washes
his feeble efforts away.

Turn Everything to a Good Account
There are a host Of things that
might be turned to good account
on every Florida farm, but we regret
to say they are not.
Let us take the field peas, for in
stance. They might be called the
clothing peas. Raise them in round
numbers. In Tallahassee every
spring, worm. eaten ones and all, sell
for ten cents a quart. Grow them
more extensively and use the pro-
ceeds to buy clothing; besides they
manure the land better than any one
thing used. Style them money
makers and you hit the nail right
square on the head.
Put in a few acres of oats and
call them grocery oats, they will
come in very handy when you go to
market to load up so many bundles
to buy groceries for the week.
Secure more hens, ducks, geese
and guineas; raise them properly,
sell their products and some of
them, and call them implement poul-
try. In the course of yeer they
will buy pillow, hoe, pillow point and
other farm utensils.
Put out good big bed of straw
berries this fall; nothing better for
your family than fruit. You do not
grow enough fruit, but instead eat
too much fat meat. Call them your
health crop.
Go on through the list of farm
crops in this manner, that you we'll
know will grow luxuriantly on your
farm and plant them, giving each
one a name for something that you
know you will have to buy before
the year is out ana you Will keep
many a dollar at home. That is
what good farming means-produce
and sell at a good price more than
YOU consume. Have q variety; It's
the spice of life.
Think these ideas over during the
long winter evenings coming on and
a. ame for each crop, and when
IA time comes plant the crop in
jhape and you will not regret
the step you have taken.
Put on your studying cap every
night this winter and look into every
money making scheme that you can
devise. They will bring pleasure
and greenbacks to your farm homes
