Sorghum

Every farmer should, not only this
year but for all coming years, plant
abundantly of this crop, for molasses,
as some prefer it to Louisiana cane
syrup, and for stock and chicken feed.
The early varieties will come on in the
latter part of July if planted early and
by planting late kind also, success
sion of the very best stock feed can be
obtained. All stock will eat it and if
cut up fine it can be fed very economic
cally and profitably. Ii is especially a
fine hog,feed and comes in when badly
needed for thispurpose Aside from it's
syrup and feed value it's seeds are a
fine general stock feed, but especially
valuable as chicken feed through
winter and spring. The seed are many
times left to rot in the fields. We are
giving this now as variety food with
peas and corn to our fine poultry and
you ought to see how they shell out
the eggs. The Chinese cultivated it
for generations for the seed alone be-
fore they discovered it would make
syrup. Few people are probably aware
that it, like the Irish pota toes, can be
grown from cuttings. 1t is the opin-
ion of many sthat sorghum is an ex-
haustive crop to the soil. We do not
believe it is more so than any other one
that is as heavy in yield as it is. We
do not believe in attempting to utilize
it as dried crop for hay purposes ex-
.ept on limited scale as changing
appetiser. 1t is too difficult to cure
,heaply, because of the thickness of it's
stem, requiring long time and care
'ul handling Pea vines are far super
or to it for this purpose. Plant large
crop as it will stand until frost, and
ian be cut and piled and answer for
log feed a long time.

Fruit Trees

This is the season of the year to look
especially after the fruit trees so faras
fertilizing is concerned. Pruning should
have been done earlier, all dead and
superfuous limbs should, if not already
cut off. be at once removed. The main
point however, now is to put manure
on the surface and have it well worked
in. Ashes are fine fertilizer for all
fruit trees and should be freely scat
tered around them, and for pear trees,
salt is fine application either in solu-
ton or sown broadcast, such as refuses
from meat sailing, mackerel brine, or
any kind of ickeling mixtures. Don't
be afraid of 1t, we have put it around
our pear trees for years and have fine
ones and none ever blighted. Remem-
Der when the master of the vineyard
ordered his servant TO cut down the
barren fig tree asking why it impr oft

money and future Of comparative
ease and luxury ahead ofany young
man who will now secure small farm
near Canton and plant out an orchard
of pear trees of our best varieties. In
ten or twelve years he will begin to
reap an annual income for the remain
der of his life by occasional renewals.
It is a mistake to think a pear tree is
short lived. We know trees that have

GapeS.

A prominent poultry breeder gives
the following:
"This is a very common disease
among young chicks, and annually de-
stroys large per cent of the hatch. DIT
is easily cured. 1t may be done in for
ty different ways, for which see the
poultry journals. Snatch the worms
out with loop of horse hair; with a
feather, swab with camphor; with tur-
pentine; dust with sulphur; sneeze
them out with lime; feed them asafet-
ida; chlorinated soda, and almost any
way you can think of will cure the af-
fected chick. All the recommended
cures up to date remind me of Doe
sticks cure for biting feas; First catch
the flea; hold him firmly with one
hand, and with the other tickle his
ribs till he laughs. then let confeder-
ate jab his teeth out with saw punch.
The cape cures do well enough for
single chick, but suppose there are
forty or hundred affected, then
what? My plan is to treat all at once,
whether there be two or two hundred.
Shut them up in the fowl house. Take
on old iron vessel that will hold a
quart or more of boiling water; put it
in the house, over coals(a common
charcoal furnace is handy for this pur-
pose), and add to the water two or
three ounces of crude carbolic acid.
and let it boil. The fumes from this
acid, inhaled by the chicks, is sure
death to the gape-worm. If the house
is very close, the chicks may get
enough of the fumes to do them harm.
But it is easy enough to watch them
for few minutes, and if they begin
to stagger and fall, open the door and
admit fresh air. In ordinary Southern
poultry houses this will be unneces-
sary. This may be called wholesale
cure. A lump of camphor In the drink
ing water is also a good preventive.
Cleanliness and dryness-especially in
the roosting place. is the best prevent |
i've.

Peas

Just as soon as the danger of frost is
| over. plant peas, peas, peas OF all kinds
in patches. Plant in rows early and
cultivate so as to make them come on
early for feeding hogs and for hay.
The speckeled pea can be made pro-
duce two crops, and for hogs, early
feeding, is the kind to plant, cut and
feed, and plant again broadcast for
hay. The long running kind should be
planted early in rows 3 feet apart and
8 feet in the hills and will literally
cover the ground and ought to be
ready to cut in August for hay when
the sun is hot and the days long. The
Wonderful pea will cover the ground
planted in this way as we know
from last seasons experience and pro-
duees the finest hay. Sorghum and
peas are the great crops to carry your
hogs from the list of August until the
1st of November. Later on when the
corn is laid by, every row should be
planted in peas, not only as a soil reno
vator, but for fall and winter food. as
the dry vines on the corn stalks will be
eaten by stock. In order to derive the
full benefit of all this food, each man
should have his fields fenced with at
least two wires to turn horses and cat
tie. If we were called upon to whis-
per daily into the ears of every farme r
from now until the season is over, on
two works of the greatest redemption
and future welfare, we would say in
a never ending monotone, ''corn and
peas" "corn and peas" until it was
upon his brain with an in
able, ineradicable endurance. If
you have never before had peas ION the
BRAIN" contract the malady this year
and you will never regret the infec
ton, as it is an absolute preventive of
poverty to man. beast and fowl.

MOTTO
He that ploweth, should plow in hope
Gardens.

! We are proverbial for scarcity of
vegetables in late summer and fall. A
little while ia early spring we have
Fl ne gardens and revel in a luxurious
and varied vegetable diet, but we fail
| to have succession of them or to car
ny our planting and growing into the
| late sumner, and are almost destitute
| in the fall of any vegetables. This Is
all wrong, we should have better gar
dens, and this can only come by max
ing them rich in soil with stable ma
nure and cotton seed or meal, and by
planting succession, and by irriga-
ting in the fall, which on as small a
piece of ground as garden, would
cost very little. We can have all the
vegeta bles of early spring by the
above process, until frost comes to kill
them out. Cabbage, corn, okra, egg
plant, parsnips, tomatoes, running or
pole beans and irish potatoes are all
staple crops we eau have if we only
the greatest relish, the most luscious
that have stood in the ground |
all winter. English peas are most
elegant dish of which we only have
one crop as rule, when we should
have succession. 1t is urged that the
gardens are ruined by the hot summer
and dried out so vegeta hlss will not
grow. Now if you will plant deep in
late spring and pull up large bed to
grow truck or mulch it, you can have
them grow all right in the hottest OF
weather, and in fall planting, if put
deep enough all seeds will terminate
