Rich, fertile pasture lands no doube
produce grass of higher nutritivc quail
ity than poor soils. And yet in the
extreme south 1t has been almost the
universal practice among stockmen aud
farmers to devote the poorest PORTIONS
OF their farms to pasture and to culti.
vate the richest. While they are OF
course fully cognizant Of the fact that
rich land will produce q greater yield
of forage, yet they have not, as rule,
been imbued with the knowledge that
the richer the soil the richer the feed
stuff.
1t is then not always best to pasture
only poor land and cultivate only the
richest portions. Would 1t not be bet
ter to devote some Of the richer lands
to grass and cultivate some of the
poorer. using green crops to turn un-
der to fertilize the latter in connec-
tion with stable manure and limited
use of commercial fertilizers, thus
bringing up year by year Its produc-
tive capacity? by proper management,
in a very few years the poorer portions
of the farm can be made rich enough
to give good and nutritive grass.-Ed-

CheatInr Cotton Growers.

One of these things in which farmers
show their lack of thought is the man
ner in which they permit themselves
to be swindled by dishonest persons,
who seem to choose them for their
easiest prey. Just now the cotton
growers are being cheated with q lint
less cotton, as it is called; that is. va
riety that produces seed free from the
fibrous attachments to 1t of the Sc
called lint. This new variety, as it is
said, is far more profitable for the
bare seed than other kinds
are for the lint and seed,
too. Hut a little thought will
teach those concerned that the lint of
the cotton plant and the seed are es-
sential to each other, because the lint
is attached to the seeds by the very
nature of the plant, and that kind OF
cotton without lint must be barren of
seed, as we'll Us of its fbrous attach
ment. The cotton grower kills two
birds with one stone, as it were, when
he produces the ordinary cotton, get
ting the seed and the lint both, and, as
two are better than one, the lintless
cotton must be Of less value than the
common kind, and even worthless, as
compared with tn Y. Times.

stood as unconsciously as little child
and, lifting up her heart to the

floated out and filled the air. It was
nothing SO very difficult, but it was

felt, with thrill of delight.
"She did not seem at all frightened"

During the hard snap last winter an
ill-clad, half-starved looking fellow,
accompanied by a meek, confiding cur,
stepped into the police station. As he
closed the door behind him he took of
his dilapidated hat and saluted the
officer in charge. The latter, in raspy,
unsympathetic tones, asked what he
wanted there.
''Scab an me wants place to sleep"

I'm dead broke, and it's mighty good
in you in giving us a place to sleep"
As he spoke he stopped down and
picked up the bob-tailed dog. At the
same moment the sergeant caught
sight of the cur.
what are you going to do with that
dog?' he asked.
"Well, Scab needs a nights shelter
just as much as do"
"We can't house dogs" said the SER
geant. decidedly. "You can stay, but
you'll have to throw the cur out"
"Why, say, cap" he said, "Scab's
been my friend for five years and he
walked all the way with me. You
wouldn't have me give him the go-by
now, would you?"
"l'm sorry" responded the sergeant,
"but we can't have any dogs In the

Dunn looked down ut the dog and
gently patted its head.
''It's cold night, Scab," he said, -

COttOnsced Hulls for Stock.

Cottonseed hulls promise to become
a leading competitor of wheat as a
food for stock. II the price of corn
advances much more, as it probably
will in consequence of the shortage Of
this years crop, farmers that have corn
will probably sell it and feed their
stock on cheaper food.
The government bureau of animal
industry has recently shown the value
of wheat for fattening stock, and has
recommended its use where corn sells
anywhere near the price of wheat.
Another new food for stock, and one
which is said to be cheaper than corn
at present prices, is cottonseed meal.
This mixture is being fed with good
results to cattle in the south. and it has
lately been introduced into the stock
raising districts of the northern states,
particularly New York.
Cottonseed hulls are baled like hay
and sell at from four to five dollars per
ton in southern markets.-St. Louis

HERE AND THERE.

Sow grass and clover as soon as
the conditions of the soil will admit.
Better not spread ashes over the
chicken house floor; 1t may cause the
hens to have sore feet.
Push the feeding of the fattening
stock. The next two months is the
best season for securing the best gains
at the lowest cost.
Look well after the sheep. They
can still be made to pay. Sheep in q
good, thrifty condition late innthe fall
are half wintered.
When the potatoes are dug sort
them carefully. A better price can al
ways be secured for the larger ones,
and the smaller ones can be fed to the
hogs.
Every cold snap interferes with the
egg supply. At such times make the
house little warmer and SUMMER, and
add to the food that which is little
stimulating.
I'm nearly all cases it is poor econ
omy to attempt to winter more stock
than can be sheltered comfortably, or
than there is sufficient feed to keep in
good condition.
About the only condition that will
admit of purchasing feed on the farm
is when there is plenty of roughness,
and bran middlings and Oil meal are
needed to help feed it out.
Every year the people are learn
ing more and more of the value of eggs
as an article Of diet, and are healthier
in consequence; but production is not
keeping pace with the consumption in
the egg business.
Suppose you try few acres of
barley for next season. Sow where
the poultry can get the benefit of the
pasturage, for barley is one of the best
green foods that you can grow for
fowls.
DIR. James A. Law, the distin.
guished veterinarian, thinks that no
one suffering with consumption should
be allowed to milk cows or work in a
dairy. In the matter of tuberculosis
cows are often more sinned against
than SHINING.
There is not anything much better
than kerosene oil upon the fowl house
