third of the value of the crops and are
to be repaid in six months. In Den
mark the project has been presented
upon somewhat similar lines. If it
proves successful it will no doubt un-
dergo an extension throughout Europe,
and a great impulse will be given to
the agricultural industry. A system OF
credit is also likely to come into force
shortly in Russia with a view of Great
ing an agricultural machinery In that
country, and manufacturers who un-
dertake to engage in the industry can
borrow money at a very small interest
and enjoy other advantages, such as
low railway charges and cheap raw ma
terial from works belonging to he
State. AS the resources of Russia are
beng developed to an enormous extent
it is hardly likely that the new INDUS
try will have any effect upon the grow
ing importation of foreign implements
and machinery, and, if anything IL
ought to act as an incentive to the
further employment of mechanical ap
pliances. In Austria, a similar progress
ia noticeable in the development OF
agriculture, and an important show OF
implements and machinery is to be
held at Vienna on the 4th of May.

Agricultural Experiment Station, in
any State, and ask if it isn't true.
The writer of this article hasn' got a
pound of potash to sell, never had o
expects to have. Have nothing
to gain whatever by IN increased use
of potash. but it's a fact that farmers
ought to have hammered into them
until they cant help knowing it-that
thew want more potash in their guano.
The bought" cheap guano has on an
average the following analyses:
Ammonia, 1 II per cent.
Available Pho sphoric Acid, 8 &"
Actual Potash, 1 "
The plant itself, as shown by what it
is made of, demands for that amount
of phosphoric acid more than four
times the potash and also, more am
monia. For cotton, guano should al
ways have a higher percentage of
potash than of phosphoric acid.
Of course there r good guanos but
they arenotthe kind that may be bought
for 800 pounds Of five cent cotton per
ton. But, if you must buy a low grade
guano, e to it that it is not more than
half useless at least, by replacing the
greater part of the phoephoric acid
with potash and ammonia. s. P.

HOW TO RENEW A STRAWBERRY
BED.
Sensible Suggestions for all Who Guilt
vate This Luscious Fruit.

Sensible Suggestions for all Who Guilt
vate This Luscious Fruit.
There are two ways of renewing
strawberry beds besides the one of re-
setting entirely. OF late the best grow
ers try to get the heaviest possible crop
the first season after the vines come
into bearing and thenplow up the vines
and reset or put in some other crop.
Others are beginning to adopt the plan
OF moving the vines after the crop is
off and after they are dry, raking them
between the rows and burning them
and then working the soil very close
TO the old rows with cultivators, and
hand hoeing in the rows so as to give
the runners a chance to find we'll fined
soil In which to start the new growth.
Still another plan is to work the soil
up between the rows, as above stated,
and as soon as the runners have spread
out between the rows and taken root the
old vines are cut off with a sharp hoe
and new rows established between
where the old ones were, the space oc-
cupied by the rows being worked up
with the cultivator. Either of these
plans is good and practicable, and for
small patches we think them preferable
to resetting altogether. Strawberries
take kindly to fertilizers, and it is pos
sible to grow very large crops if they
are attended to in a proper manner and
at the right time. No farm garden
should be without a few rods of these
berries.

Queen Of the Carolina Pea.

1 have placed the Queen of the Carolina Pea
on sale with the State Business Agent of the
Farmers Alliance. This pea has been in Guilt
va'ion since 1889, and proves to be the most
grain and more vine than any pea known, and
may be sown in fall CT winter with small grain,
coming up all right at the proper time, thus
saving the extra blowing necessary after small
grain is off and avoiding all risk of drOuth,
which often prevents success with peas after
small grain One ounce of these peas will pro-
duce a bushel if planted in good ground five feet
apart, three or four in the bill,

In buying Matching eggs from a dis
lance, the rule is to let them stand
quietly for "a hours before putting un-
der the hen. The contents of the egg
have been shaken together and dis
placed by the journey. They should
settle and resume their perfect shape
before incubation begins.

CROPS.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The action of the cotton growers as
ISOLATION in passing a resolution favor
ing a one quarter reduction in the '95
cotton acreage, will give a new impe
tus to the subject of diversified crops.
Hog and hominy" as the Ne1Cs and
Courier terms it, will not of course
make farming unusually profitable IN
the South, but it will remove the ''eggs
in one basket" side Of it. One of the
most pernicious practices in the coun
try is the advance usually taken on
pro- pective crops. The risk must be
paid for. There is practically little
risk after all for the system soon ad-
justs itself to the point of making the
honest pay the debts of the dishonest,
and forcing upon the industrious, the
support of the improvident.
There has been a great deal Of talk
lately of buying fertilizers on a cotton
basis. Now this is absurd. Fertilizer
men don'C buy cotton as an ingredient
of their goods. To pay for a ton of
guano with 800 pounds Of cotton worth
SIS, 90 is to get a guano worth far less
than that, for a dealer makes a profit
both ways. But even at SIS. 90 per
ton, a guano cannot be worth much.
To use plain acid phosphate alone is
like trying to raise a crop of cotton with
out putting in any seed after blowing
and preparing the land. Plants must
have potash and they must have more
of it than of phosphate. If you put in
enough phosphate to raise a bale to
the acre if it has enough potash along
with it, but only put in enough potash
for half a bale; half a bale is all you
will get. A guano, like a damaged
string piece, is not a bit stronger than
IT'S weakest place.
Now as to this guano for 800 pounds
of cotton per ton. 1t will have an
analysis of about II per cent ammonia,
8 phosphoric acid and 1 potash. You'll
use about 200 pounds per acre, that is,
you'll put on your land about3 pounds
of ammonia, Is pounds of phosphoric
acid and 2 pounds of actual potash. Now
a crop of $50 pounds of lint per acre
will require about IS pounds of
ammonia, 6 pounds of phosphoric acid,
and 90 pounds of actual potash. 1t
don't take all of this off the land be-
cause the roots, stalks etc., stillremain,
on the land, but these materials mast
be there in the quantity indicated or
the crop wont turn out even $50 pounds
of lint. The indications of value in all
this to farmers, is the proportion of the
plant food in the guano they use. The
guano has Is pounds of phosphoric
acid to 2 pounds of potash, whereas
the plant needs for every Is pounds of
phoephoric acid So pounds of potash.
In the commercial guano, there is just
enough potash to work up about ten
ounces of the phosphoric acid leaving
the remaining rs pounds little better
than waste: Now let any farmer who
doubts these figures, cut this article
out and send it to the Agricultural
Department at Washington, or to any
~~a az.

Thanksgiving.
Written for the Democrat

Written for the Democrat
Thanksgiving day is coming,
1t is drawing very near,
Some say they can't be thankful.
The prospect is so drear;
They say,that moneys very scarce,
And talk about "hard times"
That their pockets are empty
OF dollars, cents and dimes:
That may be true, but still,
While Thanksgiving day is near,
Well be thankful for the blessings,
Which were ours thro' all the year.
The fare may not be sumptious,
And we may not have "the Dimes"
But we'll gather round the table,
And we'll hope for better times;
Then hail once more Thanksgiving
Which is drawing very near,
And be thankful for the blessings,
Which were ours thro all the year.
