OF the road tax being allowed usual
~ on wagons with tires notle than
three or three and a half inches
wide. Ohio makes it unlawful TO
transport a load of over 1000 pounds
over macadamized, gravel or stone
reads In a wagon having tires less
than three inches wide. Indiana
prohibits hauling a load of over 2 1000
pounds on a wet gravel road with a
narrow tired wagon. Kentucky
fayors broad tires in fixing toll rates.
The result of experiments with wide
tires IN various States and countries
are also given. In France, it is
noted, every freighting and market
cart is said to be ga road maker"
the tires ranging from three to ten
inches in width, but usually from
four to six inches. THE Mews and
Courier says county supervisors and
other county authorities in this
State should send for the bulletin
and study it and profit by it's les
sons. Every county in the State
needs better roads, if not absolutely
".good" roads, and they cannot be
obtained by any cheaper or more con-
yenient means. 1t is a means that
has been tried and approved. 1t is
and effective. It's worthy
of the attention of the authorities
and the farmers of any and every
county in the State. 1t is especially
worthy of attention by the farmers
OF the low-country counties. They
use the roads most. 1t is to their
interest to have the roads put and
maintained in good travelling and
hauling condition. Wide tires will
do the work effectively on our sandy
roads," if on no other kind.

Twelve Years Experience With
Spanish Peanuts.


We find the following in the
News and Courier: The interest
you displayed in encouraging the
farmers to raise hogs and free them
selves from dependence has greatly
impressed me From reading the
questions propounded in your Jour
nal relative to the Spanish peanut,
its value as a food crop, induces me
to give you my experience.
L have been growing the Spanish
peanut for twelve years; the longer
cultivate it the more / am impress
ell with its value as u food crop for
all animals, especially for the hogs
and COWS. 1t does not exhaust the
soil any more than corn and can be
cultivated at half the cost or less.
You can make five bushels of pea
nuts on Il uplands to one bushel
OF corn with less than half the la
Dor.
The peanuts should be plougbed
early in March they must not be
shelled. The soil best adapted to
grow them is a moderately stiff clay
soil, although sandy land will do if
lime is literally used, for light land,
unless lime is used, will produce
i" pops" Bed the land the same as
for cotton, in three feet rows, and
drop every eighteen inches and
plough the same as corn. The time
to gather them is when the leaves
begin to speckle. The second crop
should be planted in July.
With the COW pea, sweet potato
and the Spanish peanut we can raise
hogs as cheap as is done in the West.
There has been much discussion
about the most valuable hog for IL
section and climate. AS | have ex-
perlmented on nearly every variety
1T may not be unint ,resting to your
readers to learn of my experience. |
do not consider a large bone or
heavy haired hog suitable for this
section or climate.
We need II small bone, thin haired
and compact hog that natures
quickly and is very active in search
for "living, also free from skin dis
eases. That hog is an Essex crossed
upon q Neapolitan. l know breeders
will hold up their hands in horror
at all hybrids, but experience has
taught me that this cross is the hog
for the South Atlantic and Gulf
States, if a pure breed hog is to be
used. l have no preference between
the Essex or Neapolitan. My OBJ
servation is that the diseases of hogs
originate in filth or neglect, and the
so-called "hog cholera" originates
from worms in the intestines; there
fore If the swine are kept free from
worms the farmer will have little
trouble from that source.

A Good Road Problem Solved.

Journal of Agriculture.
About Il year ago we referred cdi-
torially, under the caption, How to
Get Good Roads," to the good exam
pie set by an enterprising young man
IN Central Missouri. This young
man undertook to put the roads
alongside his own home in good con-
dition by voluntary labor of self and
teams. He procured a road grader
and contributed several dollars worth
OF gratuitous work and not only put
the half mile of road in front of his
home in good order, but graded IL
quarter or Il half mile beyond home
IN two directions. The part of the
road he graded was made the best
dirt road in the county. After pass
ing over this road, the editor of this
paper wrote the article above refer
red to, and called the attention of
the farmers to the fact that if every
farmer in the State would put the
roads alongside his own farm in first
class condition the good dirt road
PloDleIn WOulQ be solved.
a recent visit was made to the vi
entity above referred to, and we
found that the young man who did
so much gratuitious road work last
year, repeated the operation this
season, ven hiring neighbors to
help him, not only along his own
home, but for half Il mile on each
side. He now has II mile and a half
of fine graded road. Nor did the
work stop here; the enterprising
farmers along II mile and a half of
parallel road, and other roads inter
secting them initiated his example
and graded the road along their
farms as nicely us any street in the
towns and cities.
Reports come from several differ
emit parts of the State that IL great
deal of voluntary work has been or
is being done on the roads, and we
are led to believe that IHe Jouruaps
recommendation of this plan a year
ago has resulted in great good.
There is no question but that this
plan generally followed will put the
dirt roads in such IL condition that,
with the exception of IL few days in
the year, they will be reasonably
good. The farmers who do this extra
work will be amply repaid in the
enhanced appearance and value of
their own homes to say nothing of
the benefits and pleasures of good
One thing lacking in communities
where the roads are nicely graded is
wide wagon tires. 1t does not take
long with the narrow-tircd wagons
heavily loaded to greatly mar and in
jure the good roads hat enterprising
men have made. We hope the far
will investigate, agitatc and
experiment. along this line.

a CORN RAISER.-Lod Stevens, who
lives near Meeting Street, made last
year SO bushels of corn on one acre of
land. Here is the way he did it: He
broke the land twice with u bull
tongue. Before the second breaking
he scattered six one-horse loads Of
stable manur over the land. He laid
OIL for planting with u shovel pillow
and then ran q smaller pillow in the
bottom OF this first furrow. In the
bottom of this he put two hundred
pounds of ammoniated guano. The
rows were four feet apart and the corn
was dropped two and a half feet in the
drill. Now, fifty-six bushels Of corn
on an acre has been made over and
over again, but where is the farmer
who made this much at so little cost :?
The best farmer is he who makes the
most at n least expense. Measur-
cd by this stand and Lod is entitled to
wear the crown and tote the palm of
victory. This acre would have made
probably rs bushels of corn, but for
the fact that a part Of the land was

DEHoRNING CATTLE.

The practice of dehorning cattle has
come TO stay, and the sentimentalist
may make up his mind to it. 1 am not
quite sure whether it would be too radical
to advocate making it compulsory for
every cattle man to dehorn. When cattle
have horns it takes more shed room, a
larger trough CT tank for them to drink
from, and larger feeding troughS and
racks, and an old boss cow can occupy
more space than any four dehorned ones.
An accident in the family caused the
writer to dehorn long before it became
popular in the vicinity of his farm, and
the neighborS threatened him very ser
icusly for such cruelty CD to his cattle.
Some of those who were the loudest in
their threats are now the strongest advo-
Gates of dehorning. have concluded that
the fall CT the year is the best time to
perform this operation, although some
persist in doing it in the spring. There is
greater danger of trouble with flies in the
Spring than in the fall. l once had a
mint of trouble when horns were fashion
able, by one COW, through some means,
getting free from her stanchion in the
night and making life a terror for the
others that did not, but since they have
been deprived of these useless weapons
they can do little damage should one hap
pen to get loose during the night. In
stead of it being cruel to take the horns
of, | have become educated TO look upon
il as a most cruel thing to permit the
horns to remain.
