Breed Versus Feed.

Says recent writer: Breed will not
stand IN place of feeding. This foolish
idea is to be discarded at the beginning OF
any process of Improvement. 1t must be
learned and fully understood that feeding
is the basis of breeding that what has
been gained by feeding is made perma-
nent by breeding, and thus the starting
point in all improvement must be better
feeding of the fiocks. The undesirabl
brushy pastures must be plowed and
grubbed and sown' with good grass, the
weedy fields are to be cleared of these
parasites and made to provide rich soiling
crops, as rape, tares, clover, &c, and a
few acres must be put in roots for succu-
lent winter feeding The flock is to have
all it deserves, and every opportunity
given to it to fulfill its end as farm ma
chine for turning good food into fine NUT
ton and useful wood.
There can be no question that the in
feriority of the American sheep and the
mutton and WOOL is due to the want of
good pasture for summer feeding and the
absence of roots for the winter Good
flesh needs succulent food. And the food
must pc easily digestible, that the nutri-
ton for the growth of muscle may be
ample and readily disposed of. The ami
NAL system is to be taxed as little as pos
the food, and as much of this as may be
possible will then be turned to the best
and teuderest meat, which, as with fruits
and vegetables, is all the tenderer and
more juicy as the growth is the most
rapid.
This succulent food is quite as much
needed for a silky, strong, fine and elastic
fiber of wool. Every person knows how
silky and bright is the coat of the we'll
fed and well-grOomed thoroughbred horse;
how soft and pliable is the skin. While
how harsh, coarse and rough is the hair
of the neglected animal found on so many
farms, whose owners are ignorant of the
right methods of feeding or care of their
animals. or, if knowing, neglect to care
for them 1t is the same, out more 50,
with sheep The low vitality due to the
weak. nervous organization of the sheep
makes it an easy prey to neglect or mis-
fortune, and thus it suffers more under
neglect than any other animal on the
farm. Thus the shepherd must under
stand the nature of the animal he IS rear
ing, and give it such care as it especially
needs or he cannot expect success.
The present is time when this subject
calls for wise thought and immediate &C
tion. The sheep is under cloud-one OF
those that come up like summer shower
under the influences of general feeling
of distrust 1t is a pity for this most
profitable animal that it should be the
first to suffer from such a cause. But IL
is so, and the wise farmer who has flock
will save himself from loss and dlsap-
pointment and gain much advantage II he
will successfully resist this present fool
ish tendency to neglect the Hook ...

Kainit is the name of certain deposits
found in Germany and imported to this
country in large quantities, writes ]. S.
Meng in the Southern journal. The pot
ash it contains is in the form of sulphate
and chloride, which are mixed with
chlorides and sulphates of sodium and
magnesium. This, combination of salts
gives to kainit a variety of properties not
found in other fertilizer ingredients.
AS an insecticide it is applied with
good effect. Cabbage maggots, root lice,
cut worms and other destructive insects,
especially those which attack the root
and cannot be reached by spraying, are
easily exterminated by its use; at the
same time the soil is freed from grubs
and pests.
Kainit has also been found of inesti-
mable value as fungicide Some of the
most dreaded plant diseases, such as
blight of the the cotton, for instance,
are readily cured, while languishing crops
Of all kinds are benfted by dose of
kainit.
Another important, but comparatively
unknown property of kainit, is its use as
a manure preserver. During the process
of heating and decomposition of stable
manure, valuable plant food-nitrogen
and organic matter-escapesi in the form of
Eases ms loss can be prevented by
sprinkling kainit on the heap, which. in
addition to checking the escape of am
monia and preserving the organic matter,
increases the value of the manure by ad-
ding potash and magnesia, two important
ingredients usually deficient in stable
manure.
As fertilizer. kainit is most useful on
sandy and peaty soils. The magnesia
salts which IL contains, by their water
absorbing properties, exert marked in
auence in keeping the soil cool and moist,
and this is exactly what is needed by
sandy soils. In case of drought kainit
may often be the means of saving the
crop. 'a
Kainit benefits all kinds of crops, es-
pecially cereals, cabbage, peas, clover and
fruits. No regular formula can be given
as to the amount necessary to be applied
per acre. This will depend on the char
acter of the soil and of the nature of the
crop, varying from 800 to 700 pounds.
The best time to apply kainit is in the
fall of the year. 1t should be plowed in
so that it will be within easy reach of the
roots. None of the potash salts leach
readily through the soil, and if spread on
the surface they are liable to remain
there and be useless to the plant. 1t is
best to apply potash salts several weeks
before planting in order to avoid risk of
injury to seed or tender sprout.

TEN-CENT COTTON.
A Possibility That Cotton Will Reach
That Price in January.

4naC EflC6 IN y an uary.
In their latest circular, Hubbard, Price
& Co say:
We think there are many reasons why
the crop of cotton should be compared
with that of 1884 1--WE do not believe in
making comparisons with last year any
more than in making comparisons be-
tween trOtting horse and dray horse
Comparisons should be made with similar
years or objects or subiects). In 1884 the
spring was cold, late and followed by too
much rain or drought. The crop was
more or less destroyed by worms and
other causes similar to those prevailing
this season. too much rain east of the
Mississippi river and too little west of the
river, as in 1884. The 1884
government report of acreage
was 1922, 1888; this season it
is 1912, 26S. Port receipts then for
September were 3l4 600 bales; last Sep
TENDER they were $4,000 bales. The
crop in 1884 was 5.705. 1859 bales. Shep-
pardson's present estimate is for crop
of 6,S00,000 bales; Clapp's estimate is
600, 600 bales. Financial conditions in
1884 were but little better than now. The
Liverpool stock is below million bales
for the first time since November. 1891.
The Indian acreage last year was IA
1913, 600 against 17,124, 900 in 1890 THAT
was the maximum for many years.
Egyptian and Brazilian cotton supplies
are less than year ago. Shipments are
larger, crop reports are more favora-
BILE The amount afoat to Great
Britain, and British and continental
stocks are all below the recent aver
ages and only equal about ten weeks CON
sumptive needs. The worlds consump-
ton is about 1913, 900 bales (of 500 pounds)
per week, and estimated to exceed this
seasons crop, and liable to reduce the
visible the coming twelve months !, ZOO, 900
bales from the present stock 1t seems
natural to expect the foreign demand for
cotton at present prices will be large
Speculative sentiment is broadening
throughout the south. The cotton grower
appears to be his worst enemy by being
forced TO rush his crop To market and put
ting it in sight, which aids TO depress
prices. Ten-cent January cotton is among
the possibilities.
