THE HEROIC HEN.

a friend has lately told me the fol-
lowing story, say writer in Church
man: In the western part of Massa
chusetts man had fine stock farm
that ie, a farm for raising COWS and
horses. But a few weeks ago a fire
broke out in the barn, and burned not
only the building and the hay, but
most of the animals also. After the
fire. the owner walked over the ruins.
1t was sad sight to see the charred
bodies Of his fine Jersey COWS and his
high spirited horses, to say nothing of
the money lost with them. But at the
end of the barn he saw sight which
touched him more than all the rest.
There sat an old black hen. He won
dered that she did not move her head
to look at him as he came near her, but
he thought she must be asleep. He
poked her with his cane and to his sur
prise the wing which he touched fell
into ashes. Then be knew that she
had burned to death. Tnen out from
under her wing came faint little peep,
and pushing her aside with his cane the
man found, what do you think3 Ten
little live yellow chickensl The poor
hen had sacrificed her own life TO save
them. and had held her place in the
fire as Casabianca held his own on the
bnrning deck. That sight touched the
man more than anything else, and he
has to own that his eyes grew little
more moist than usual.

SWEET POTATO CULTURE.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Your issue of the 145h contained a
valuable article on Sweet Potato Cul-
ture," by J. A Thomas But said ar
ticle is not so full on several points as
we would like to see, and therefore beg
leave to make some inquiries.
Mr.. Thomas says:
II see in Bulletin No. 112of the N G.
Experim9 9nt Station that sweet pOta-
toes cured in tobacco barn would keep
much b3tter than in the sun or air."
This evidently means curing with
fire, but nothing is said as to the degree
of heat to be employed, nor the time
necessary for curing.
Except for very early crop, I find
it much better not to draw the sproU is
from the bed my tubers about or
inches apart and let stand until vines
run or feet, then cut vines up with
three ! IInts or leaves and set Two in
the ground and leave one out"
In this should the top, or tender
end, be used or rejocted2 and if SO,
how much of the end should be rejected
I'm cutting vines do not cut close
to the ground the first time; the second
cutting the vine may be pulled up and
cut all the vine up in short cuttings"
Are we to infer from this that there
are to be but two paintings from the
potatoes3 First, the vines are to be
cut; second, the vines. or sprouts, are
to be dra wn. If there be more than
two drawings how is the third, and
other drawings, to be treated3
Will Mr.. Thomas be so kind as to in.

The first purpose in cultivation is to
make the soil fine, so that seeds may
germine freely in it, and the roots of
plants may run easily through it. But
an object scarcely less important is to
increase soil fertility by mixing surface
and under soil together, and thus pro
noting their fermentation. 1t is for
this that corn and potato ground is
narrowed after the seed is plantt o.
moderately rich soil two such cultiva
tions are equal to the addition of sew
eral loads of manure per acre. An IN
cidental advantage is that such har
rowing of the surface destroys all
weeds as quickly as their seeds ger
inmate.

FREQUENT shallow cultivation is what

The farmer who makes liberal drafts

enables his family to eat less pork, is
wise.
It is fun for the dog to chase a hen.
But the hen does not enter into the
sport with much spirit, and as long as
she does not, better stop the play.
The summer calls for a cool poultry
house as much as the winter calls for
a warm one. If the house is hot better
shut out the poultry altogether.

eggs" enough to sink ship. Boys are
always going around selling fresh eggs

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
BEAUFORT, N. @.
My experience in poultry raising is
feed your poultry once day with corn
and let that be at the setting of the sun.
If the poultry has no range, you can
feed little in the. morning. But If
they have good place to range during
the day you should feed only once a
day and that should be corn. Give
them all they can eat; keep your water
troughs clean; scrub them out twice q
week. If your poultry have mites or
lice, put kerosene on a cloth and rub
the perches at the time they are going
to their places of rest; it will drive all
vermin from them. When your hen
comes our of her box with her brood
take the old nest out and carry it of,
1t it is straw; it rags, scald them in
boiling soap suds and dry them and
then put them back, after putting q
little kerosene about the box. Rags
make the best nest of anything except
hog hair. When the small chicks get
two weeks old commence feeding with
small grains of corn-they will SOON
learn to eat large grains. They do bet
ter fed on corn than anything else.

AGRICULTURE.

Toe secret of succs ss in farming,
says one, is to keep the lax d rich and
productive. cultivate no more land
than one can do thoroughly, and keep
an eye out for the small leaks.
There are almost 4 900 species Of
grasses. They are distributed over all
parts Of the world. Some are charac-
teristic Of the tropical regions, and
some of the vicinity of perpetual snow.
There is one thing in regard to oil
meal that you can be sure of, that the
manufacturer has taken all out Of 1t
that he can get. Believing it would be
cheaper to raise my own meal, says a
farmer I sowed several years ago a
patch of fl * and mixed it with corn
and oats and took it to the mill and
had it ground. 1t made tx 3ellent feG d,
toe test l ever had.
Is improved implements for cult
Vat!ng the soil enable farmers to get it
ln better tilth, there is. q constant ten
d9ncy to plant too deeply. This to
some extent eff sets the advantage from
better cultivation. Where grain is
drilled the drill wheels sink more deep
lE inCo the fnely-pulverized seed bed,
and this lowers the tubes from which
the seed is distributed Tne roller to
GompacI the surface ought to precede
the drill in such cases, and even then
th9 drill tubes should be raised as much
as possible.

WEEKLY WEATHER CROP BUL
LETIN
For the Week Ending Monday, June I
1895.

CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, N. @.
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina State Weather
Service, for the week ending Saturday,
June 1, 1895, indicate very favorable
week; crops have all improved and
much work was accomplished in Guilt
waiting and cleaning crops of grass.
The week opened Moderately warm
and clear, the temperature becoming
excessive the last few days, with maxi
mum over 100 degrees. The bright
sunshine and high temperature are
beneficial, but as the entire week has
been dry, light showers are beginning
to be needed.
Eastern District Tobacco plants
about al! set out and plants start off
very we'll. An improvement in all
crops is noted, Cotton recently planted
is coming up well. Cotton-chopping
has been the order of the day with
many farmers. Corn and peanuts are
looking better Rice nearly all planted.
Beans and potatoes are being shipped
from trucking dis ;ricts. Cut-worms
and potato bugs are still doing much
damage, but the warm weather will no
doubt check the ravages of cut worms.
Gardens greatly improved. Farmers
are pushing ahead to clear crops of
grass.
Central District-All reports indi-
cate that the past week was very
favorable for farm work, and that
everything is growing nicely; rain is
beginning to be needed. Cotton has
improved, though still small and back
ward with poor stand. Considerable
was replanted. Chopping cotton not
yet finished. Corn is growing rapidly
and is being worked for the first time.
SINE corn is yet to be planted. Rapid
progress has been made in tran splant
ing tobacco, whichis growing off nicely.
The ravages of cut worms and potato
bugs have been slightly diminished by
the heat. Glover and hay being har,
vested. Fruit has fallen IF consider
ably. Grapes are out of bloom and big
crop has sat. Straw berries plentiful.
Farmers are in much better spirits.
Western District During the past
very favorable week much work was
accomplished by farmers in planting
and in cleaning crops of grass and
weeds and In preparing for transplant
ing tobacco, and in setting sweetpotatc

drills, winnOwing machines, thrashing
machines, and 100 plum drying ovens.
At the same time, a great deal of work
is being done by the various agricul-
tural societies, of which there are at
least "a in Austria Hungary. The
progrCs So that has been made during
the past few years in the cultivation
of beet, cereals, and other produce
leads to the hope that Austria will S Don
become one of the most important
markets for agricultural appliances in
Europe.
The beet root sugar industry is suf
fering from the evil of plethoric pro
duction and low prices. Assisted by
the heavy bountis S paid by the differ
ent governments upon exported sugar,
the growers have put as much land as
they possibly can under beet root and
have at the same time vastly improved
the saccharine yield. The consump
tion is consequently far in excess below
the production and the stocks of sugar
have become eunmanageable. A remedy
is being sought in Belgium for this
state of affairs by increasing the scope
of consumption, though for the moment
it is not easy to see how this is to be
done.
In France the greatest embarrass-
ment is experienced by the govern
ment which finds that the ten million
dollars paid every year to an industry
that, in spite of this assistance, is pass
ing through a crisis, is a serious drain
upon the exchequer. If with these
duties, and the import duty of francs
per 100 kilos upon foreign and colonial
sugar, the native industry is unable to
make headway, it is evident that the
policy hitherto pursued must be funda
mentally wrong, and the government
is now considering the advisability of
suppressing the bounties altogether.

There are many old pastures which
can be much improved by narrowing
with forty tooth drag that will cut
into the surface soil. This will admit
air to places covered by moss, and en-
able the grass to grow more vigorously.
OF course some of ther0ots of the grass
will be destroyed; but the stirring OF
the soil will make more grow in their
place. If there is much moss on the
surface it will require under draining
to remjve surplus water to make a
permanent improvement.
