Cost of a bale of Cation.

Mr.. John w. Starnes, one of Tiptons
farmers, cultivated thirty.five acres in
cotton last year and made twenty -one
bales. The total cost, including rent,
feed OF team, labor, picking, ginning,
hauling to market, etc., amounted to
$3.50. so. He sold his cotton in Memphis
and received $525-thus losing $125. SO
on the years work. Mr.. Starnes places
his land rent at $4 per acre. which is en-.
tirely too much if cultivated in cotton.
Now if the land is actually worth the
amount paid it must be for some
other crop, and being a farmer he
should learn what that crop is, and
devote his labor to it. But we fear
our friend Starnes will continue to
raise cotton on his 4-dollar land and
lose another $125. The casual reader
will conclude from the foregoing state
ment that Mr.. s. was actually $l25 be-
hind on the years work, and he is if
he only made the 81 bales Of cotton
He says nothing about the corn,
peas, potatoes, sorghum, vegeta-
bles, butter, milk, hogs, ETC.,
that his team and labor made
while making the cotton-all of which
went to feed his wife and children, and
which was worth fully the SIPS il re
had it all to buy. Summing the whole
thing up, and comparing his condition
with thousands upon thousands who
are not farmers, and who are dependent
on the business prosperity of the coun-
try (of which there is none) for liv-
ing, Mr.. Starnes is bound to admit that
he still belongs to the favored class
and all because he has an occupation
by which he can make q living

The average age Of horse is usual

"A farm well titled and fertilized
will always be productive, and if the
products of such farm can be fed to
good stock, it can readily be made
profitable.
The highest welfare of all kinds
of domestic animals requires that their
food be not only wholesome and nour
ishing, but must be in an available
form for digestion and assimilation.
The quality of the fleece may be
greatly improved by taking particular
pains to care for the sheep in such a
way as to best protect their wool and
cause it to grow in the most healthy
condition.
1t is not always the richest food
that is best for stock and especially so
for growing animals. This is shown
by the rapid gains that can be readily
secured where the animals have good
pasturage during the summer, with all
stock the cost as well as the results
must always be procured.

SOME SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS
A. Remedial Agents in the Present SeasOl
Of Agricultural Depression.

A. Remedial Agents in the Present Season
of Agricultural Depression.
The great depression in agriculture
will naturally force farmers to seek a
swift and practical remedy, for a
change in some way must be made and
made right now, and it must be one for
the better.
At this stage of the proceedings
plenty Of advice is at hand from all
sides as to what is best to be done, but
on sober reflection it will be seen that
no infexible rule can be given that will
bring relief.
Judgement and common sense must
come to the relief of the farmers in ad-
jusing this matter. 1t is a problem
he must solve himself from circum-
stances and surrounding conditions.
No two farms in the United States
will admit Of the same management,
and success depends on the adjusting
market conditions, individual circum-
stances, and the cultivation of such
crops as the farm favors in production.
While home supplies should be the
watch word, judgment and common
sense must limit them to a practical
point.
Where the farm favors its production,
corn should be first on the list, as
plenty Of corn gives plenty of bread,
meat, lard, chickens, eggs, milk, but
ter, seven of the very necessities of
life. Yet farm may favor the growth
| of potatoes to such an extent as to
make it wise to adopt this crop instead
of corn to supply, to the practical limit,
the same necessities. This is likely to
be the condition in many cases.
A farm may favor the culture of
vegetables to the highest degree, and
If the market does not to raise any
above bountiful home supply would
be a failure, and so the market might
favor vegetables, and if the farm does
not, to raise them would be a waste of
time. Chickens, eggs, vegetables, and
such things will be a failure without
| q market.
Again, the farm aud market might
favor one special crop to the exclusion
of all others. A single row of vegeta-
bles in some places will pay more than
any acre of wheat, and an acre of
wheat in some places will pay more
than an acre of vegetables
With this same condition running
throughout every department of agri-
culture, who can give the relief remedy
but the farmer himself? No one knows
his circumstances, his natural farm ad-
vantages, market conditions, and how
can they advise him in the change he is
bound to make right now or be ruined?

Wanted Something Strong

In backwoods church country
parson was preaching sermon on tenn
perance. His discourse was varied by
anecdotes. of which this was one:
81 was making lemonade the other
day, when seedy-looking tramp
whose nose gave convincing evidence
of the cause leading to his being a
tramp-knocked at the door. He said
that he wanted drink.
Have some lemonade?' l asked, i
have just finished making some
mo said the tramp, with look OF
supreme disdain, i want something
that scratches
"Then," continued the parson, with
an air of triumph, 81 offered him the
cat"
The audience saw the point, OF
thought it did.-N. Y. Herald

HE HAD NO SHOW.
All He Wanted Was an Opportunity tn
Create . HensatIOn.

Create q Sensation.
BHe said if he'd had fair opportunity
he'd have made a sensation in any COM
munity, and the great name OF John
Alexander McCrary would have echoed
DER mountain and ocean and prairie,
with all the reverberant thunder OF
fame.
If he'd not been cornered by rough
circumstances, he'd have shown us a
man like we see in romances, for fate
had sent him a superior shipment of
spiritual, moral and mental equipment,
sufficient to gain the whole planets ac-
claim.
If he hadn't been rubbed out by
fate's merciless friction he d have shown
us man like we read of in fiction, a
man of unquestioned superb intuition,
an Amalek giant of great erudition,
the best product ground out by the
gods roaring mills.
For his head was a great intellectual
hammock; but it took all his time to
attend to his stomach. Fate might
sing of him in her mightiest carol, ii
he didn't have to pay for his wearing
apparel, and work all the time just to
pay up his bills.
But though he made all of these
mighty pretenses he was hampered,
you see, by his laundry expenses In
the grain fields Of fame he had been a
strong reaper were 1t not for his low,
sordid boarding-house keeper, who for
very coarse viands demanded large pay.
His clothier felt not his great genius
resplendent, his tailor felt not his wide
talents transcendent, his furnisher
made no alarming deduction for his
large and phenomenal cranial construc.
ton, and, like plain men, he paid for
his three meals day.-N. Y. World.

About Corn.

There is q big hurry now on to get
corn planted. Early planting is al
ways desira BILE, for. unless seasons con-
spire against it early corn is the best
corn. But it is not advisable to plant
before the ground is properly prepared.
Corn can be planted too early; it is al
ways too early when the soil is not in
proper condition. Whether corn should
be planted in the central furrow, or
upon bed has been much discussed,
but will never be settled; because the
manner of preparing and planting
varies with the kind of soil and the
.'lay of the land" To plant in the
water furrow on fat retentive soil
would subject the corn to danger from
drowning; and to plant on high
ridge on well drained land would be
foolish for half a dozen reasons. AS a
general principle, the ground ought
to be deeply broken and har.
rowed before planting. and rolled
Immediately after. And all subsequent
cultivation should be shallow. On some
soils if heavy rains have occurred since
breaking the land it will be necessary
to give a deep blowing as soon as the
corn comes up, and before it has thrown
out many fibrous roots. After this
shallow cultivation only should be had.
Whether corn should be drilled or
checked is another mooted question,
and distance is still another. Unless
on very rich soil. checking is best, as
it saves labor. On thin land 4x3 feet,
or even 5x3, is better than any less dis
tance, while on much Of our rich black
soils and river bottoms the distance
should not be greater than 81 feetx2O
inches, or 3x2 feet Avoid piling a high
ridge to the corn rows; the nearer the
stalks stand ON the level surface of the
soil the better they will stand drought.
AS said before, it is very important to
have the ground in the best possible
condition, even If it retards planting a
week-subsequent growth will make
up the time. Another thing: be sure
to plant plenty of corn. 1t is bread
and meat and money. Corn is king
