Resolved, That we feel deeply humili-

nation so greatly misrepresented in the
department of agriculture by man
whose mind is too narrow to grasp the

The old light is visible under favorable
conditions about eighteen miles, but it is
estimated that the powerful electric rays
will be discernible fully twenty-four
miles under similar conditions. BY the
aid of the new lens the, light will be
thrown on the heavens, and its reflections
will be seen with ease by vessels ap-
preaching 100 miles away The only light
in existence which viii approach it in

is about 100, 600. coo. The great advantage
of the new light will be its power to PEN

red clover; it does equally well on
white lime lands, makes good hay and
pasture, being especially valuable for
winter grazing and as restorative crop
for lime lands, is undoubtedly the most
valuable one we have. Unfortunatel,
it will not grow on soils which are de-
ficient in lime, as are most of those in
the pine-woods region, and for that sec
ton of the state, cow peas and Lespedeza
are the most satisfactory restorative
crops.
1t is much easier to keep field in good
condition than it is to build it up when
it has become run down and exhausted,
and for maintaining the fertility and
productiveness of soils already in good,
or even in fair condition, there is no
other plant as valuable as red clover.
1t requires better soil, and one which
is in a better mechanical condition,
than either of the other restorative
crops named, but as it gives us our
most valuable hay crop in addition to
its action as a restorative crop. it is the
best plant we have for maintaining the
fertility of lands which have never be-
come exhausted, or which have been
renovated by the use of Lespedeza, cow
peas or melelotus. Having secured
good mechanical condition in the soil,
together with an abundant supply of

MANAGEMENT OF PIGS.
The Best Way to Secure Good Growth as
Minimum Cost.

The Best Way to Secure Good Growth al
Minimum Cost.
In the spring after grass and clover
starts is one of the very best seasons
for securing a good growth at a low
cost. This holds good with all classes
of stock, and pigs are no exception. One
of the principal advantages that pigs
narrowed in the spring have over those
that come at almost any other season,
is that with plenty of grass and clover
the sows are able to supply the pigs
with more and better milk, while as
soon as the pigs learn to eat they will
make a cheaper and better growth than
at any other season.
1t is usually best to keep the sows in
reasonably close quarters until the pigs
have made sufficient growth to run
about well, which will usually be by
the time they are ten days old. Then
they can be turned out and given the
range of a good pasture.
The feeding of the SOW must be lib
eral and the material must be of an ex-
cellent nature in order to enable her to
supply her pigs with plenty of milk.
Grain is also needed with good clover.
With both the sucking sows and grow
ing pigs clover is better feed than
grain, and while very fair growth can
be secured with grain or clover alone,
in nearly all cases a sufficiently better
grain can be secured by feeding grain
in addition to make it profitable. But
the grain must be of a character well
adapted to the securing of good de-
velopment of bone and muscle rather
than fat. No one material is a COM
plete ration; that is, it will not supply
all of the materials needed to maintain
a good growth at the lowest cost, and
for this reason a combination of mate
rails will in nearly all cases give the
best results.
But a different ration is needed for
growing animals from what should be
given when fattening for market. So
that bran and oil meal ground oats or
ship stuff will make better feed, both
for the sow that is sucking litter of
pigs and growing pigs. Whenever the
pigs begin to show disposition to eat
place should be provided where they
can eat to themselves, and they should
be fed regularly, increasing the rations
as their growth and condition demand.
But in the spring is not only a good
time to secure good growth with
young pigs, but it is also one of the
best seasons to fatten, and especially
when the pigs have been kept in good,
thrifty condition during the winter. If
thrifty with good pasturage, month
or six weeks of liberal feeding of a fat
tening ration will be all that is needed
to make ready for market, and this can
be done at a less cost than if the grain
alone is depended upon.-AmericaT

RENovATINo WORN LANDS.

Extract From the Report of the Mississippi
Experiment Station.
The sixth report of the Mississippi
experiment station says:
No soil can be made to produce good
crops without the presence of fair
supply of humus or decayed vegetable
matter. Freshly-cleared lands and
lands which have not been plowed for
many years usually contain an abun-
dance of humus, but when lands have
long been cultivated in hoed crops like
corn and cotton the humus becomes ex-
hausted, and must be replaced before
they can be made profitable. just how
this humus shall be supplied must de-
pend on the circumstances of each
plantation. When it can be had in suf-
cient quantity there is no better mate
rial for this purpose than is stable
manure, but as this can seldom
be secured in sufficient amounts
recourse must be had to other
materials. Cotton seed for clay soils,
and cotton seed meal for sandy soils,
answer the purpose perfectly, but both
are expensive, and on nearly all planta-
tions the most economical method for
securing sufficient supply of humus is
by the growing and blowing under of
some green leguminous crop like lespe-
deza, cow peas, or red clover. On lands
where either of these crops has been
grown, there is little trouble in making
satisfactory crops of corn or cotton by
the use of moderate amounts of com
mercial fertilizers. Lespedeza will
grow on soil which is too exhausted,
dry and hard for either of the others,
and Is undoubtedly the best plant for
use where the soil is in very poor
condition. 1t responds quickly to an
application of two hundred pounds of
cottonseed meal per acre, and by
making such an application fair
crop of Lespedeza can be grown on
almost any soil. If the soil is. sufficient
ly fertile to make fair crop of Lespe-
deza without the use of fertilizer, COW
peas will be the better crop to grow, as
they make much heavier growth than
does the Lespedeza, their roots are
larger and extend more deeply into the
ground, and will SO build up the soil
more rapidly.
When the soil is rich in lime, as in
the entire northeastern prairie region,
melilotus is the best fertilizing crop
which can be grown. Its roots are
larger and ext end deeper into the
ground than do those of any other
restorative plant which we can grow:
the plants die and the roots decay at
the end of the second season, and so
the plant adds more to the valu-
able plant food in the soil than does
any other of the many which we
have tested. 1t will grow well on any
of the black prairie soils, even on those
which are too exhausted or in too poor
condition for making good crops Of

HERE AND THERE.

Good cows will pay for good care,
even though milk and butter are down
in price; they rarely go below the cost
of production,
If the cows are bred to calve next
fall they ought to give milk enough
this spring and summer to pay profit
over cost of feed and labor; and they
will, if they are the right kind of cows.
Nothing at the present time pays
better than swine husbandry when the
hogs are properly cared for. Few do
nestle animals require the attention
necessary to keep them in healthy
condition than swine do, but it pays.
There is money in poultry in the
south, if person will give it the prop
err attention; but whoever tries it will
find it no lazy mans business, as it re-
quires great deal of hard work. A
person must pay attention to details.
1t is vigilance-eternal vigilance is the
watch-word of success.
The kitchen garden should be a
model of neatness- 1t should be laid
off in beds and borders, the paths

utility both in laying it out, in plant
