A One-Plow Farm.

A few weeks ago the following tele-
gram appeared in the Southern daily
papers:
"Charleston, S. c., January 29.-Mr.
Thornwell K. Cunningham, of Lancaster
county, who runs eight plows, has to
show as the result of last years opera
tions on his farm the following exhibits:
One hundred twenty-three bales of cot
ton, weighing $50 pounds each, grown on
ninety-seven acres: 1000 bushels of
corn, 800 bushels of oats, 100 bushels OF
wheat, grown on three acres, 500 gallons
of syrup; a quantity of peas, potatoes
and long forage, and 1000 pounds of
pork, and all at cost of not exceeding
$3.50 for comm ercial fertilizers. Mr..
Cunningham boldly challenges the
whole Southern country to match his
record of production, with the same
working force, at so low a cost for fer
tilizing."
A. Welborn, Suwannee county, cor
respondent of the Times-U Mon, writes
that paper under date of the 18th.
The challenge is accepted and your

this very satisfactory. Most men, not
being responsible, financially, will aim
to hurry over the ground, leave consid-
cradle and do the work in careless and
slovenly manner.
Every third table should have the
brush laid over each side Of it, so the
team can straddle the vacant table, and
the two leaders hand up the brush to the
driver from each side. Very often when
leaders have to wait for teams, they can
lay the brush over first table on to Sec
ond table; fifth table on to fourth table,
which lessons the rounds one-half in
loading. All depends upon the distance
in hauling. whether leaders have any
extra time to clay over" brush or not.
The grower must always keep his eye
open, and use his judgment in managing
his work so as to save time and cost.
For a crop of 300 to 500 acres, thirty
six to forty-six cutters will require six
leaders and six wagons, three of the
wagons being loaded while the other
three are going and coming. The above
outfit will just about keep two of the
patent double cylinder endless chain
scrapers taking off the seed. Small crops
with single cylinder will require work.
ing force in proportion.
The best rig for hauling in the brush
from the field is to make regular hay
rack thus: Two pieces two by eight,
sixteen feet long, good hard pine, four
pieces good hard pine, three by four, six
and one-half feet long, for cross pieces;
cross pieces to be notched out half an
inch down on the two by eight stills and
bolted down by half an inch by twelve
inch bolts. Then couple out wagon to
fit, put plank twelve inches wide fiat
on the cross pieces on each side; hole
in each plank to let the front standards
of wagon come up through, an inch or
two. Then two side boards twelve
inches high and sixteen feet long, front
and hind endgates same width and six
feet four inches long and two and three
eighths rods SIX feet eight inches long.
Make square box oyer and inside of hind
wheels, and floor in of sixteen foot fenc-
ing and you haye useful rig for haul
ing broom corn brush, and as good for
hauling hay, grain, straw, ETC., by put
ting gallows in front. | fasten the
plank and part of the bed together with
one and three-fourth inch screws; under
the middle and at hind end must be two
neavy oak cleats bolted to the two by
eight beams to support the floor; hind
bolts must be long enough to 60 through
hind cross piece, eight-inch beam and
oak cleat.

this crop If the weeds have been kept
down, two plowings will generally do, as
broom corn after getting six inches high
grows very rapidly. Sometimes wet
weather sets in about time of first
cultivation and weeds will get a start,
especially if on old lands, and then moth
ing will pay so well as the hoe. In fact
our Western farmers must use the hoe
more. was forced to hoe my crop both
in 1884 and in 1885. In 1884 the hoeing
of 100 acres cost me about $500; men
$1.25 per day; boys, so cents to rs cents
per day and board themselves. In 1885
500 acres hoeing cost me $500: men, 81
per day; boys so cents. Both seasons
happened to be wet the first of May and
first of June, but the hoeing paid.
AS soon as the broom corn is in bloom
and the blossoms begin to fall off, it is
time to commence cutting, and the more
rapid the cutting is done the better, so
that, when dried, it will be bright pea
green color, commanding the highest
price in the market. The brush also
weighs heavier, and is tougher and
wears better when made into brooms.
The difference in price in all markets,
between bright green and ripened brush
runs thus; red, per pound cents; pea
green 6 cents, or in about that proper
ton. So it will be seen that it is of the
very highest importance that it be cut
and cured so as TO be OF bright green
color. For instance, if man raises
thirty acres or ten tons, cut and cured
green, he will get, at S12O per ton, 81 200
or, if allowed to ripen and turn red, SELL
ing at $40 per ton -S4O0- he meets a
loss of $500 on the thirty acres. Growers,
keep this in view always, it will pay
you.
The first operation before cutting is TO
table the corn, which is to break two
rows across each other, about two and a
half feet high above the ground, and
slanting the stalks at an angle, so as to
throw the tops of the brush to project
over the sides of the upright part of the
stalks about twelve inches. Then the
cutters start in, with their knives (the
common, thin-bladed shoe-knife) and
cut off the brush as near as possible with
eight inches of stalk, and lay it as they
cut it, crosswise upon the table formed
bv the stalks. To make an expert,
rapid cutter always take the brush in
the left hand, putting the knife on the
stalk, eight inches from the brush. at
the same time giving the brush slight
jerk upward against the knife, letting
the left side of the right thumb rest
against the boot, which prevents the
boot being entirely cut off and sticking
to the brush; if the boot comes with the
brush it necessitates being pulled off by
hand, causing double work, and cutter
who has to pull the boot off the brush
afterward, soon gets left behind. In this
part of Illinois there are many expert
cutters who will break and cut three
fourths of an acre per day. | have my
cutters in two gangs, each fifteen to
eighteen men. A leader cuts at pretty
fair gait and the rest are to keep up
with him; the boss of the gang follow
ing behind, sees that each man cuts his
brush clean, slips the boot, cuts it the
