WEEKLY WEATHER CROP BUL-
LETIN
For the Week Ending Monday, Aug s,
1906.
CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, N. G.

CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, N. @.
The pasG week has been on the whole
the most unfavorable of the entire
season. The conditions of extreme heat
and dryne35, which began over two
weeks ago, continue unab4ted While
the mean temperature has been only
from 60 E degrees above the normal
per day, the maximum again reached
over 100 dt tgrees. Showers OCCURS d at
half dczsu points on the % and ], but
were altogether INSULT ;ient in amount :;
the deH;lency for the State for this
wetk IS neatly 1 50 inches. Bright
sunshine prevailed. The If ct Of these
cOndlCICus en- crops has been tad in ell
districts except ct some points ia the
southeast portion and in the mountain
Gus sections. Cotton continues to de
terIor85e; very many correspondents
report that bolI8 and leaves are shed
ding badly; at places the plants are
willing no top crop seems to be form
ing; the crop is opening too rapidly.
Although it is easy to Overestimate the
damage to cotton, all evidences show
that it has been considerable. S5ill if
good rains occur this week there will
be some recovery. Corn has also been
ipj Ir9d, and late corn will be failure
without rain soon. Much of the fodder
of the old crop has been pulled, and
much is drying on the stalk before i,
can be stripped Curing tobacco is now
progressing everywhere. Much firing
is reported, and farmers are pulling
lower leaves, which are curing bright
but thin and light. Although peas,
sweet potatoes and peanuts are good
they need rain badly. Sowing turniE
seed has been stepped. The conditions
are becoming serious, and there has
been an unfortunate decline from the
fine crop prospects of two weeks ago

WHY The sILO PAYS.

Until every farmer has a siIo, it Is in
order to preach the siio, SO we Oeg those
who have siIos to bear with us if we
seem to repeat self evident truths. Re
member what an awful lot of preach
ing it takes to save a few sinners, and
have patience; or do better, help us
spread the truth.
l. The ellO stores away corn more
safely and more permanently than any
other plan. SIage Is practically fire
proof, and will Keep in the silo indef
ritely.
?. Corn can be made into silage at
less expense than it can be prcseI we'd
N any other form.
The silc preserves absolutely all
but the roots Of the corn.
+. SiIage can be made in suns hine or
in rain. Unlike hay, It ig indtPendens
of the weather.
5. When corn is ready for the silo
there is but little farm work pressing.
Corn is worth more to the dairy
as siIage than III any other form.
Z. At least one third more cora per
acre may be fed on sllage than on dried
corn stalks or fodder.
Corn Is fed more conveniently as
s;lsge than i'll any other form.
SiIage is of most value whon fed
in combination with other food richer
in protein. 1t is not a complete food.
10. 0 wing to its ssucculence and bulki
ness, s!iage is the best known substi
tu5a for green grass, and is therefore
especially valuable ae a winter food

POINTING A MORAL.

The Southern Farm has been labor
ing diligently for a number of years to
induce their readers to raise their sup
plies on their own farms. Fr q lently,
however, has it's ardor been depressed
when men high in agricultural circles
relied altogether on the West for hay,
grain anG meat. As these gentlemen
were men of intelligence and character,
their example with the masses was
moro effective than all the logic and
reasoning Of The Farm. But as faith
tul sentinel On the watcht0wer, we re-
iCerate our admonition to the farmers
of the South to raise al needed sup
plies on their own premises il possible.
The lamented Robert Toombs was thor
oughly Impressed with the Importance
of pursuing this policy. Ga one occa
eiOn he pointed MS belief in this doc
trlne as a fixed principle in g signal
manner. In Hancock county, Georgia,
there resided in days Of yOre a gen
tleman noted for his generous hospital
ity and public-spirit Cine race has not
died out IN that county yeD, and he
occupied the position of Vice President
of the Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety st the time. As was his custom
during court week he invited the mem

TaRRsHING CLOVER SEED.

Al ''old subscriber" asks how to
thresh clover in order to save the seed
who no clover huller can be had. The
only means We can suggest will be to
gather the crop and store it in a barn,
and then after it has sweat out and
dried again to thresh the seed out with
fl Ill in the old fashioned way in
which wheat was threshed before the
advent OF the threshing machine. After
threshlng, shake out the long clover,
and then riddle the seed through a sieve
Most Of the seed will etlil remain ia the
huli5, but will not grow any the worse
for this. 1t is only necessary to SOW so
much more per acre Southern Planter.

CRIMSON CLOVER.

The value Of crimson clover for the
purpose of fertu I 'ng crops is the chief
subject Of thought by farmers at this
time. Reports received from all parts
of Michigan show that crimson clover
passed the winter we'll and an immense
crop of hay and seed were saved
Crimson clover IL native of Italy al d
other parts Of Southern Europe. It is
not new to this country, out only re
Gently begun to attract attention.
Crimson clover is al annual, and mist

tends from the first of August until the
last OF October. The seed ge1 nina te
very quickly, and It grows very rapid
ly, and makes a good fall, winter and
early spring pasture. 1t stands the
winters better than the common red
clover, and yields d )uble the amount
Of hay and seed per acre. It seems to
flourish IN all soils and makes q goo d
bee pasture. The hay is Of extra fine
quality as q fertiljz er and land rostorer.
1t has no equal, and its great value lies
il It's ability 10 eeud its deep feeding

bring to the surface clements Of fertil

in May, in this latitude, the blooms ap

flower that blooms, in yard or garden.

Tbs Oltario Station of Canada says
that in a trial Of a steam power milk

boy, using the portable engine for
power, MIXED twenty six COWS in about
twenty six minutes. This is certainly

FARM DEBTS WEST AND EAST

It is generally supposed that mort
gage Indebtedness on farms Is larger a.
the West than at the East, accounting
for the interest taken by western farm
ers in free silv, r coinage as 6 means of
relief from their heavier burdens, But
the last ccnsus report tells a different
story. The percentage Of debt in
Illinois is 81; Indiana, 80; Kansas, 35 {;

HOW TO TREAT A MAN.

When man drops from sheer ex.
haustion or illness, promptly seize an
end board or a cart stake and pound
him on the head and on the ribs If
this docs not recuperate him, kick him
violently in the belly. This treatment
will restore him, il persistently admin
istered If a man finds his load too
heavy and feels that it will seriously
strain him to proceed, kick off fence
board and knock him down-and ham
mer him thoroughly with the board.
This will give him renewed energy,
and he will make no more fuss. But
do not on any account reduce the load.
That will look TOO much like common
sense or humanity, and he will be like
ly to b8lk again when overloaded.
If man refuses to drink when you
offer him water, don't give him any
water for two days. That will teach
MIN" to be thirsty at any time you find
it convenient to attend to him It is
good plan to ply the whip frequently
oU man who is at work. No matter
if he is doing his best, hit him nc " and
then on general principles, and to
prevent him taking any comfort. II
his load is not heavy, obIige to go
enough faster to make up for it. Work
him hard enough to bring down the
average life one half, as is done with
horses. If no whip is handy, use a
club Tie your mans head back in an
unnatural position, with his eyes to.
ward the SIN. This Will give him q
fin appcarance" and prevent stumb,
ling Of course, he will uoo be able
to 90 as much work in this tx, but it
makes him uretchej, 80 it is ell right.
In winter remove his clothing to
''prevent his taking cold" He will
also dry quicker when you overwOrk
him, You must hang a blanket on his
back (but leave his neck and limbs ex-
posej) when he is at work. Men thus
treated are much healthier" than
when allowed winter clothing. If not
perfectly convenient to feed man who
is working for you a. noon, let him go
without, ana by active use Of the whip
secure ae much work as the food would
have secured. OF course, it wears out
his vitality and diatresses him, but that
is no matter.
Pu5 tight shoas on your man and
keep them there until he is very lame
with corns. To change his shoes costs
money, not much, but some, and lame
ness and misery are Of no account If
you can save a dollars worth of shoes
a year. When you hire a man do not
be hampered by any humane notions.
Get all you can out of him. True no.
bility consists III getting money, not in
decency or kindness, or what sCma
noodles term character" " Get money,
even if it is alb blood stained. These
are correct principles, [ an sure, for
learned them when a colt, from my
master, who treated all his horses on
this plan-and don't he know what's

1t is never a good practice to grow
two root crops in succession on the
same land. 1t can only be done by
very heavy manuring to supply the
fertility that the preceding crop has
taken away. Gardeners who grow
roots generally manage to grow them
in alienation with crops that do not
draw so heavily on the land. the onion
crop can be grown on the same land n
succession, but the onion IS not proper
ly q root.

ADD TO YOUR FAITH KNOWL
EDGE.

Where ignorance is bliss, it's folly to
be wise, but where ignorance is loss, it
it is folly to be otherwise. There are
many farmers, truly observes the West
ern Agriculturist, who imagine they
know all that is worth knowing about
live stock until they begin reading
some stock and farm journals Then
they realize that they could more
proftably have better bred stock, and
they find it pays to adopt the improved
methods Of feeding aud management
as shown in these journals in the expe
rience of others, and to keep in touch
with the progress Of the world in breed
ing, feeding and farming, to learn the
requirements of the markets and no
longer raise inferior stock that sells for
less than the cost of production, and
abuse the times and the markets when
we might raise high grade stock that
sells for double as much at the top of
the market.

Il fire catches do not lose your head,

An extra man on the straw stack will
more than pay in the better condition

It is an idle practice for bee keepers
to feed swarms during honey blow in
order to forward storing. When the
sweets can be obtained from the fow-
ers it is useless to try to feed" the
bees in any other way. They prefer
Flora's fresh nectar, and will gather
and store it in the combs, ignoring all
other food which can be placed before
them.

Rrinped Crust
OQuaAer Dread.

It's all in the baking pan.
Sweetest bread you ever saw.
Not breath of aroma lost.
No run-overs, no air-holes,
no burnt edges, no raw places.
Can't burn, no matter how
careless the cook.
And such crust ! Beautifully
brown, dainty crisp. charming
in every way.
The bread is steamed as well
as baked, steamed into delicate
evenness and rich moistures in
side, baked to just the right
point outside.
The Quaker Pan saves work,
worry and money.
1t requires no skill to use it;
the pans pack in an oven as SO
many sticks of wood might, and
even if left long overtime the
bread CANNOT Dufn.
This is the simplest, surest
and best of all the modern bak-

Just as Good h. Cake sai Pudding d if

The flames roared DER his head.
