The 18th of Septem Der, we have

never had the early planting TO be in

to secure it from depreciation from
four and two footed animals; much be-

in the season. Besides these risks. il

Late Corn.

We made failure this season on this
crop, being planted in bottom land.
The rains set in just in time TO satu-
rate the soil, prevent cultivation and
ruin it. 1t is very seldom hewever that
this is the case, and we still adhere to
the principle and practice OF planting
bottom lands in corn in May. 1t will
hit oftsuer than will the practice of
planting low wet lands in corn early in
the spring. for universal failure will
almost certainly follow this proceed
ure. We shall utilize this lot OF sorry
corn while in the roasting ear stage.
by cutting it up about one-half inch
with cutting machine, and feeding 1t
to our stock. 1t is fine for fattening
them coupled with other dry food or
corn, aud it will all se consumed.
Otherwise it would remain in the field.
the stalks dry out and the blades fray
off in the wind The failure OF this
crop will prevent US from filing our
silo, as we have nothing else except
sorghum. and not ruore Of it than we
will feed green. All kinds of stock are
fond of this cut feed. and eat it largly
and proftably. Every farmer should
have cutter for this purpose, il only
a small one operated by hand. 1t will
more than pay for itself in one season.

Experience with Summer Chickens,

weeks old; they were Matched the Fl, ct

fast ard feathering nicely. One brood
taken off on the 4th of July. nine in
number, are all with us yet. and in
thrifty condition. Several broods
hatched since the 4th are doing well
In fact. out of the fifty, we have as yet
lost but one chicken, and it was killed
by getting in with the wrong hen.
She knew it was not hers and SO she
pecked the poor little fellow to death.
Our summer broods are all quartered
in sheds with latticed fronts. The
chickens can get out between the Stats.
and run about in the grass, but the
hens are confined to the sheds, which
are nearly six feet square.
We feed our Little summer chickens
chiefly on boiled potatoes and corn
bread mixed up together. Sometimes
we use the raw meal instead of bread.
When we can get any parched egg
shells we cruinble them up with the
feed In addition, we also feed oat
sprouts cut in short lengths. The
chicks are very fond of the latter. and

very much fear that the present occu-

Necessities than they have ever yet

Farmers Department
-IDITxD BY
3. F. PAssMoRE.
MOTTO:
He that ploweth should plow in hope.
Cultivation.

Every days experience convinces u
we cultivate too much land to- tn
mule Twenty-Five acres in all crop
is plenty as an outside limit, and les
would be better, and devote more TIM
to fertilizing. Any crop will be thu
better for being gone over every week
Small areas thus handled, will give
better returns than the present system
of 30 or 40 acres to enc head of stock,
slovenly worked Another fact we are
satisfied of, is that crops should be cul-
tivated longer than is our custom, but
in such manner as not TO injure them
when large by going close to them
deep. Every row of cotton row. would
be the better for blowing after the
heavy rains we have had, as the ground
has become packed and cemented.
One of the most successful farmers we
ever knew, the late Eibe Cordts, plow-
ed his cotton after he finished pulling
fodder in August. We must remember
cotton grows and continues to mature
its fruit if well worked, until frost,
which sometimes does not occur Until
November. During this period OF
more than three months, from the
middle of July the time we usually
stop work or earlier, there is no aid to
the plant to do it's full duty in produc-
ing to its utmost capacity. 1t is true
that squares formed after the Goth of
August, unless very late fall, are
apt to not mature, but the young fruit
on the stalks is liable to fall for want
of proper nutriment from a vigorous
state of growth in the plant, as well
as not to attain the size of full large
boil. If cultivation is essential to
bring the plant to healthy and salts
factory condition up to the time we
ay by, it will sssuredly continue the
'ame benefit if kept up in proper
manner for longer period. Just as
ong as you pillow crop, it will remain
.reen and growing. A cultivator run {
hallow once or twice in row so as to {
tir the entire surface, would unaues- |
ionably add to our crops immensely. i
and must be areated and nitrified by (
eing permeated by the air for plants t
0 inspire and absorb life giving prin- r
iplcs, just as we breathe air to invig. t
rate our bodies, and this it cannot do t
trough crusted or impacted surface. h
ne OF the greatest impediments to t
tie culture. is the scarcity of food t
,uff for pillow stock. The loss We sus- K
lin by not providing this in abunda nee 8
incalculable. Let us ponder these "
lings, and prepare for another season Z
nder more favorable auspices. a

Hogs.

Now is the time to push our hogs by
giving them all they will eat of sor-
ghum. as well as other feed. Let the
pigs run at large on your own prem
ises. they will wax fat and grow in the
pea field aud get great variety of
food that will go to waste. If they
root potatoes or commit other depreda-
lions with their shouts, put rings in
them. We hea- men say sorghum will
Kill hogs and that it will not fat.en
them, only keep them alive These
things are untrue. We have never
known it to kill, and are sure it will
fatten both from experience aud from
the fact thatit possesses so much sacch-
| arne matter. All saccharine substan-
ces are fattening. In some countries,
mules are fed on molasses, and it is a
we'll established fact that sugar will
fatten. The very bread we eat is said
TO e converted into sugary mass in
the PROCESS of digestion. Corn will not
fatten hog unless he gets enough of
it. So it is with sorghum, give him all
he will eat and you will solve the prob
lem to your satisfaction. We haul up
two wagon loads day and spread it
in our lot for hogs mules and horses,
and they eat all they want and we have
had no dead hogs or mules, but all are
fattening. 1t should be fed cautious
ly at first, until stock become accus.
toned to it. We have all the heads
cut off and spread in our gin house to
fully cure, and will keep it for chicken
and other feed during winter. Hogs
are passionately fond Of the seed. We
have 6ve or six acres this season and
shall double it next. and what we do
not put into silage or feed green. will
cut and cure for winter food. 1t is a
inarvelously cheap crop to raise and is
an abundant yielder. Every part of
IL can be utilized. We do not believe
it is more impoverishing to land than
any other crop producing the same
amount of substance to the acre.

Even if enough of the corn were

done in the way of haling and
