where TO Locate In the south.

or the thousands and thousands OF NOrtn'
ern families who contemplate locating In
ing their health and lettering their imam
cial status. the vital question Is which point
in the South is the best to locate In. The
three important questions to farmer, as
far as location is concerned, are
/. Soil capable of growing all the cereals
he is accustomed to cultivating.
2. A healthy climate.
5. A point where ready market can be
found for everything he raises.
These requisites can be separaDely !ou me,
in any of the Southern States, but In tho
great mineral belt OF North Alabama they
are all found together.
1t was this belt that originally attracted
the eyes of the world to the South. 1t is
about fifty miles wide and two hundred
miles long, and reaches from the Northeast
corner of the State as far south as Tusca-
loosa. Within the mineral belt lie all the
coal, iron, limerick and other mines; all the
furnaces and most OF the manufacturers OF
the State, thus providing employment Tor
immense numbers of operators OF all kinds,
which create a market for every pound OF
produce raised by the farmer within this
region at high price, and practically at his
door. In fact, the consumption OF the prod
ucts of the farm is so great within this min
eral belt that the farmers located therein
are unable to supply 0ne-twentieth of the
demand, and this cannot be said or any
other point in the South.
The increase in the value of lands within
the mineral belt of North Alabama is moro
certain than any other point in the South,
hence no mistake can be made in locating
there.
The land throughout the mineral region is
high and dry, though watered by many pure
and limpid streams. Its elevation is such
thatit enjoys the luxury of q pure atmos-
'phere derived from its altitude, thus giving
TO all this region the uniform climate of the
South with the benefit of the seasons.
Birmingham is the center of this mineral
belt, with the beautiful city of Fort Payne,
on the Alabama Great Southern r. r., at
the n orth and Tuscaloosa at the South.

Fertilizers for Hoed Crops.

The large amount of labor required
in cultivating hoed crops makes it all
the more important that they should
be pushed forward as rapidly as posi-.

reason the concentrated fertilizers
containing available nitrogen are pref.
cradle to stable manure. There is al.
ways in coarse manure a great amount
of vegetable matter which will only
rot when the soil is wet. Under the
furrow this manure holds up the soil,
creating air spaces which dry out both
the manure and soil so that the manure
will not rot. The commercial fertilizer
furnishes nitrogen without making
the soil dryer. This often means with
a hoed crop the difference between
failure and success.

PoRcuPlNE GRASS.
Said to Give Good Yields of Hay OF .
Fair Quality.


Fair Quality.
Latin name, Stipa Spartea- Stems
stout, erect, smooth, more or less
punched, one and one-half to three
feet high, from tough perennial roots;
leaves more or less involute, thick and
hard, rough on the margins, usually a
foot or two long, root leaves numer-
Gus, and long; panicle about six inches
long, contracted; spikelets an inch or
more long, borne at the end of the
slender branches of the panicle; empty
glumes lanceolate, with long arm-like
points, one to one and one-half inches
in length, the upper one longest;
Towering glume very hard and sharp
pointed at maturity, thickly hairy
above the point; avn rough, stiff, four
to six inches long, twisted and bent.
A bulletin of the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station says: This grass is
found throughout the state, but is
most common in the eastern part. It
is largely replaced in the western part
Of the state by needle grass (stipa COM
ata), which may be distinguished from
either porcupine grass or feather bunch
grass by it's shorter leaves and loose,
open panicle, the lower part of which
is more or less included in the upper
most sheath. Both porcupine grass and
needle grass give good yields of hay OF
fair quality. As the spear-like fruits
of these grasses sometimes injure
stock, they should not be cut until
after the fruits have fallen. which
usually occurs in time for haymaking.

or ranges in sufficient quantities to be

Age at which to plant Traes.

The age at which trees should be
bought must be governed by circum-
stances and by variety. There is a
general tendency to buy trees too old
rather than too young. When vari-
cites are new and scarce, it may be
economy to buy young stock. Some of
the freer-growing apples and pears are
large enough when two years old If
grown from buds; but these fruits are
usually set at three years from the
bud or graft. Dwarf pears may be set
at two or three years, preferably, I
think, the former age. Ounces are
set at two and three years. Peaches
are always set at one year from the
bud. Prof L. H. Bailey, in Bulle-
