Tho velvet Rean.

OF all the forage plants that have come
under my observation since have been
in Florida. the velvet bean is ahead says
a writer in the lorida Agricuturist. The

three to five feet thick when planted in
hills four tn FIVE feet each way. One acre

the state to Squa! it for forage or as a

three beans in n hill four feet apart. AS
soon as the riant appears above ground
cultivate between the rows, and in two
weeks cultivate again. This is all that
is required to make the crop. If planted
in an orange grove it will be necessary to
pull the vines out of the trees once in
two weeks, rolling the vines away from
the trees. If planted in April, In July
the forage will be so dense the under
leaves will begin to drop to the ground.
and will continue to drop and decay all
the season, enrichng the soil so that no
other fertilizer is required. The vine will
continue to grow until killed by frost, and
1t takes a heavy frost to kill the plant.
| know two fields of this velvet bean that
were planted one year ago last April, and
they are as thrifty now as they were a
year ago, and the groves are making
the most satisfactory growth of any in
this locality No work has been done in
these groves for over year, except to
keep the vines out of the trees. This is
the solution for making cheap orange
groves and bringing out those frozen down
two years ago.

Clean I'm Now.

II you wish to have an abundance of
nice, fresh eggs for your own table in the
early fall and winter and a
few extra dozen to sell, now
is the time to begin paving
the way to that end. The place to begin
is always at the point that looks to the
immediate comfort and health and vigor
of the fowls. We have never yet found
a right good place to stop, though we
must confess that we do a good deal of
beginning, which necessarily implies that
we do some stopping.
Nine-tenths of the farmers to whom
this Is addressed have only a makeshift
hen house, 12Xl2 feet or less in size, made
in a hurry years ago, with good inten-
tons for the future. But to offset it they
have unlimited healthy range for their
poultry, and by keeping the poultry and
hen house free from vermin they will
rarely be troubled with poultry diseases.
This season of the year is the most pro-
pitious for insect life, and poultry is be-
set with vermin of all kinds natural to
them-the large body lice, the small, red
lice the black and gray mites, the CHG
gers and other Vermin. 1t is also APP
preaching the moultng season. which is
easily and quickly passed by poultry in
vigorous health. and the hen is left in
good, prime laying condition. while, If
the poultry is weak and puny the process
is long and painful, almost amounting to
disease, and weeks must pass before the
hen even approaches a fair laying condi-
ton, if at all.
1t is, therefore, necessary to give poul-
try attention now, and from now on till
fall We have had our own experiences
in this line. and have found that this at
tention enables us to have an abundance
of eggs through the winter, while many
near us had none.

Compelling Hens to Exercise.

Flocks that have been so kindly treated
that the members thereof rely upon their
regular daily supply from their owner will
never give satisfaction in egg production
until heroic remedies are applied and the
sooner that is done the more time will lie

too fat TO lay. Their combs will be bright
and red. and they may appear thrifty.
but when they are very fat the owner will
wait quite a while before he will get many
eggs from them. There is but one course
to pursue, and that Is to cut off the sup

Feeding pigs in the south.

With the great advantage enjoyed by
the farmers Of the southern states in the
rearing Of pigs. It is somewhat strange
that the larger part OF pork used in this
region should be procured from the west,
says a southern farmer in Country Cen
tleman. OF course, we are to take into
account that the dairy in the south is an
undeveloped possibility. and we naturally
associate milk with cheap feeding of
swine, or, at least. good pasture. But
there is a conspicuous absence Of the
dairy, and still more so OF pasture here.
The southern hog lives mostly in the
woods, and the rest Of the time on the
roads. cleaning the refuse grain undi-
gested by the passing horses and mules,
and gathering what roots he can dig up
in the woods. And when the mast begins
10 fall then the meat begins 10 be made.
There are plenty of 4-year-old hogs in the
woods that will not make a hundred
pounds OF meat. and Il is the rarest thing
to find one of them with a healthy liver.
II has been handed down from antiquity
that the hogs live on husks, and doubt
less It was a wise thing that Moses did
to put an embargo on the swine and for
bid his people to eat It's flesh, made as it
was In those old times. But this is pre-
csely the way IN which the southern pig
lives, and in which--for a greater part

our southern gardeners will sustain me

sOrgum for Forage.

Indiana Farmer: There was a largo
crop Of sorgum sowed last spring for
hay. There is some on almost every farm.
We drilled five acres last spring. We set
the drill to SOW one bushel per acre. At
ter sowing a few acres another person
finished the work. He thought that it
was not putting enough seed in and
changed the drill. but by mistake moved
the plate the wrong way and sowed less.
What was sowed thick made finer hay
than the thinner seeding. 1t all grew
seven or eight feet high and was so thick
that we could not see into 1t the length of
the bar when moving. We let II lay few
days, then raked 1t with a stalk rake
drawn by four horses. Set 1t i'm large
shocks and let it remain In shock couple
of weeks. Then stacked 1t. We had 22J
shocks, so big that four or FIVE made a
load. IL made twenty-five or thirty tons.
Hoses and cattle prefer IL TO any other
kind Of hay or fodder. / have seen cows
leave corn and eat the sorgum first.
Those who have raised 1t this year will
SOW It thicker next time. About six pecks
will make finer hay. 1t is favorite feed
with those who are feeding cattle.
