ABOUT FERTILIZERS.
a southern Farmer Talks to His Guild
fha G,,tt..a


A Southern Farmer Talks to His Guild ON
the Subject.
Various writers advocate the system
of broadcasting fertilizers; and with
those saved and made on the farm, the
plan is highly commendable, the only
objection being the want of sufficient
quantity. | can't think II advisable
with commercial fertilizers II we wish
to build up and keep our soil In fertile
condition. While they accelerate and
promote the growth of plant life, they
stimulate, and thereby exhaust the
soil TO some extent, Like Il drunkard,
the more ii gets the more il wants; and
like the opiate habitue, the quantity
has to be increased each time TO have
the desired effect, until now we
can produce but little on the soil
where commercial fertilizers have
been constantly used, without their
continued use. Example: we must put
200 or 800 pounds where on the first APP
pllcation 100 pounds was sufficient.
Some farmers say the fertilizers are not
as good as they were when we first used
them, which may be true, but why will
not the soil produce without any or
even very small quantity of CONNER
cial fertilizers something like it did be-
fore any was used; and if putting it in
the drill is exhaustive, win not broad
casting be more SO? Commercial fertil-
izers is one of the many items which

have always used, and have broad
casted some this year to experiment so
we don't always go by our convictions
Having began the use without lInowl-
edge of the evil combined with the good
results, we are compelled to continue
their use it seems.
In another thing l differ from the
learned men of to-day. They contend
that cotton-sced meal is better fer
tilizer than cotton seed. | would like
the seed ground as It's more available,
and the loss by heating and germinat-
ing is obviated, but give me oil and
hulls as well as meal. | don't under,
stand the chemical properties of the
oil nor in what manner it is converted
into plant food any more than can
tell how the soil produced the oil in the
seed, but do know from observation
that where any grease gets into the soil
there is rich spot, the wise men to the
contrary. While the oil mills have
developed great industry-given EN-
ployment to many-they are of less
benefit to the farmer than any other
class. Tenants care nothing for build
ing up the land and sell all seed, barely
keeping enought to plant, and numbers
of farmers will be tempted by putting
money in their pockets for the time, tt
dispose of their seed against their bet

finds him buying commercial fertilizers

Look Out for the Corn.

The busiest period of the whole year
is now upon the southern farmer. Dur
ing May and early June the weather is
usually fair enough for him to get in
some twenty days outdoor work in the
open field out of each thirty, Delayed
corn must now be looked after. Plant
ings may continue until early in June.
The outlook now for cotton is good;
there has been n general reduction OF
the acreage planted all over the south
reports making the reduction some
twenty-five per cent. less than the
usual crop. With this fact in view, the
farmer may be hopeful But by all
means don't neglect the corn crop now
As the ground is getting well
warmed up, the late planting
will grow rapidly if the ground
has been properly prepared 1t
is well to remember that it is good
plan to make up in manuring what has
been neglected in the matter of time.
In other words, give the late planting
the benefit of extra fertilizing in the
furrow! Such course will help the
plant to catch up and make growth
nearly equal to the early-planted seed.
The delayed crop needs the most push
ing by artificial methods. The late corn
especially requires the best fertilizers
If our southern farmers can get good
crop of corn this year, on top of even q
poor crop of cotton, they are getting
well on the road to prosperity. Half q
crop Of cotton really means just about
as much money in the planters pocket
as would come with full yield on q
full acrcage-the loss in quantity being
met by the large increase of advance in
price.-Southern Farm.

OLD KENTUCKY HOMES.
rhey Are the Citadels of the Popular AT
fections.


Rather to the country than to the
towns in Kentucky must one look fo1
the local history of the home life.
There first was implanted under En-
glish and Virginian influences the an
tique style of country-seat; there flour
ished for a time those gracious manners
that were the high-born endowment Of
the olden school; there in piquant con-
trast were developed side by side the
democratic and aristocratic spirits,
working severally toward equality and
caste; there was established the state
reputation for ELUSIVE private hospital
tiles; and there still are peculiarly cher
ished the fading traditions of more
festive boards and lindlier hearth
stones. If the feeling of the whole
people could be interpreted by single
saying, it would perhaps be this: that
whether in town or country-and
If in the country, not remote

self may rest on the fact OF provincial
isolation, which is the fortress OF self
love and neighborly devotion; but il
suffices for the present purpose to say
that it is an idol still, worshiped fol-
the divinity it is thought to enshrine'
Hence you may assail the Kentuckian
on many grounds, and he will hold his
peace. You may tell him that he has
no great cities, that he does not run
with the currents of national progress
but never tell him that the home life o.
his fellows and himself is not as gooc
as the best in the land. Domesticity is

Cheap pasturage is one Of the great
