Keen More Stock.

The importance of devoting more atten-
ton than has hitherto been given to this
branch of husbandry. in all the cotton
growing regions is daily be-
Coming more and more appa-
rent, SAYS f. J. Hooper in Farm
and Ranch. Intelligent, progressive ag-
riculturists at the south are fully alive TO
the imperative necessity Of providing IN
some way for the renovation OF soils
naturally fertile, but exhausted by
long continued cropping with cotton.
The culture of grasses and the rails
ing of stock is natures method OF rem
ovating the fields. impoverished by long
tillage. and this mode of treatment Will
be found, for the most part, efficient and
economical. True, guano and artificial
fertilizers may be resOrted TO, but Will
they thoroughly renovaue the sollt we
think it will hardly be claimed that more
can be done with the aid Of these tertll-
izers than to maintain a fruitful soil IN
its present condition. Other means must
be resorted to in order to restore TO worn
out lands their lost fertility.

especially if the subsoil plow is used to
loosen the subsoil for the better entrance
OF clover roots. This is not contradict
ton of what we have before said about
deep blowing breaking up the air passages
through the subsoil and thus making it
more compact. The plowed, loosened soil
occupies less room than ID did before, but
its particles are separated by innumerable
small interstices instead of by a few
drainage channels.
After each clover crop on drained soil
il will be possible to plow little deeper.
But this should be done with caution not
TO 90 too deep and turn up too much cold
and wet soil. There is ut the bottom Of the
usual depth of blowing hard crust that
has been compacted by the plow pressing
the clay soil when it has been plowed too
wet. There is nearly always an advan-
tage in blowing deep enough TO break up
this hard crust, though it is still better
to do the work with a subsOil plOw follow
ing with another team the first pillow and
cutting up the subsoil in the bottom Of
the furrow without bringing it TO the
surface This enables the clover 10 go
deeper than il otherwise would This
hard crust is usually rich in min
eral fertility, and il is a good plan
to bring it up when blowing for winter
wheat. IL is not so good for corn or
other spring crops. The blowing late in
summer or in fan ought TO be generally
deeper than spring blowing though il
often is not. 1t is easier to pillow deep in
spring, and then is the time when deep
plowing is most likely to iniure the crop.
Later in the season the ground becomes
so dry and hard that it is extremely diff
cult TO break below the crust at the bot
tom Of previous burrows There is also
with every additional inch in depth a
new crop of stones to come in
range Of the pillow point wherever the land
is at all stony, and such land is. for that
reason; in little danger of being ever
plowed too deeply.

in the fact that the first effect of blowing
is to turn furrow which imprisons CON
siderable air, and this introduced into
the soil helps both TO warm and to dry it,
But blowing has also another effect
While it loosens the surface and thus in
creases its tendency 10 absorb water. it
also breaks up the natural drainage chan
nels formed by decaying roots of trees
and plants. 1t thus causes the land TO
take more water while decreasing it's ca
pacity for holding il.
This theory. says American Cultivator.
accords with the practical experience of
farmers on new virgin soil. So long as
it is unploWed, and perhaps for a year or
two after blowing, it seems dry enough
But when the natural air and water pas
sages through the soil have been broken
down by few deep plowings the soil
runs together in times when water is
most plentiful, and it is found to badly
need undertaking. No other method Of
disposing of surplus water will take the
place of undertaking To deeply plow
such land only affords temporary relief
while the first furrow is being dried out.
When heavy rains or melting SHOWS ill
the soil with water the last state OF such
land is worse than The first.
IL is most desirable TO increase the ca
pacity Of soil to hold water without stag
nation. II can be only done by providing
an outlet below the frost line Uy thorough
drainage. When that is done the sabsoil
pillow, and that still better subsoiler, the
cover root, together with deep freezing
in winter, will do the rest. Deep plow-
ing, instead Of being an advantage is
positive injury TO wet, undrained soil.
Even after drainage ii needs 10 be prac-
ticed with great caution. On no
account should the pillow go below
the natural soil, which is known
bS it's containing the humus or mold
from decay OF previous vegetation
grown on or in it. After drainage this

Sweet Potatoes for Stock.

Agricultural Editor Morning News: 1
am constant reader of, and allow me to
say well pleased with, the agricultural
department of the Daily News. l do
not take the Weekly. Does the same
matter appear in it, | want to have il
when go north this summer Your ar
ticle on the sweet potato in issue of the
9Th, is excellent. l wish had preserved
one on the same subject that appeared in
the NEWS some weeks ago. | wish YOU
had said more about the sweet potato as
food for stock. That is what am most
interested in,
We have several hundred head of cattle.
but have always been afraid OF potatoes,
because of the labor required But some
OF my nelghbors claim that they make
Cuba vans with very little work, and
they say they are perfect keepers.
An approximate estimate of raising, say
ten acres, for stock food, and the cost Of
housing for winter, is what l would like
TO have. Can the potatoes be put up in
large bins, 1000 bushels in placer The
manner of planting here is to plant the
potatoes i'll the field and take vines from
those to extend the plantation In this
way one acre will give vines sufficient to
plant ten acres. T. B. BROOKS
The agricultural matter of the daily
issue of Monday also appears in the
weekly Of the same week.
For the sake of variety in the food of
the milk COWS it Is well enough to raise
some potatoes. Two hoeings and the like
number of plowings will usually make a
maximum crop. We have seen very good
crops made with even less labor than
this when the plants were set out in June.
The variety that you name is very pro
ductive, though hardly fit for table use,
and can be made with comparatively
little work
Yes, any number of bushels, 1000 or
more can be banked in one long hill or
bank. The soil is scraped away to the
depth of foot, and the trench made four
or five feet wide, and after putting up the
potatoes in pointed heap they are COW
cred with straw and then soil finally to
the thickness of twelve inches. Then a
temporary board shelter should be put up
over the hill. As a rule potatoes are
dug and banked much earlier than
they should be. In your locality
this should not be done, as a rule, earlier
than the last of November. After the
potatoes have passed through the sweat
ing process 1t will not be possible to put
on too mnch dirt. The idea is to keep
them at as uniform a temperature as pos
sible. 4 shelter over the bank is essen
tial to keep the sun from warming up the
hills or banks.
There is no question that sweet pota-
toes and the vines also, are great milk
producers. On good sandy land they can
be readily produced at 10 or II cents per
bushel. When put up in long banks the
cost ofputting up is not much. Cheap
rough-edged lumber is as good as any to
make the shelter with, and, after once
providing it, will last a number Of years if
properly cared for from season to season.
A very satisfactory shelter can be made
of Neponsit water proof paper, which is
cheap and quite durable if properly cared
for between times.
