Rev. j. l. Hoffpauir to task because
he condemned lot of highly ssre-

done otherwise. Every true chris

-Four years ago the police jury
of Grant parish awarded the parish
printing to the CoLFAx CHRONICLE
for the sum of $3.50, when under
the law they could not consistently
do otherwise. Forthwith our Pop
ulist friends raised a great howl,
and a couple of hundred persons
signed petitions denouncing tho
transaction and asking that the
contract be Cancelled. Under the
present law the police jury are left
free to act as they may deem best
for public interest; and SO they
have twice awarded the printing to
the Peoples Demands. at full pay,
over the offer of the CHRONICLE to
do the work for nothing and put
about $500 in the school fund. See
police jury proceedings as to how
it was done, and note the pitiful
and lame excuse given to the pub |
lie, as to why the CHRONICLE bid |
was declined, viz: ''the bid of II. |

Of the vote is made, as our Popu-

themselves on record in the matter.

Yours respectfully, J.E. DUNN.
Now, we desire to follow peace with

and retiring disposition and exceedingly
10th to engage in personal difficulty, es-
pecially when the same can be avoided
without any compromise of principle, we

We can assure Bro. Dunn that we have
always desired to avoid the use Of hard
terms. preferring to discuss all issues in
dispassionate and reasoning manner,
free from billingsgate and abusive per-
sonalities. Our aim always has been to
deal only in facts, and to treat them fair
ly and truthfully. So long as Bro. Dunn
pursues this course toward us he will
find we cannot be exceeded in the retort
courteous of journalism.

LIMB.

The proper and judicious use of lime
is often an item OF profit on the farm.
Lime enters into the composition of
plants and is an element necessary to
their growth. The fact, however, that
there is nearly always a suff eient sup
ply of lime in the soil to serve as plant
food proper, renders it seldom if ever
necessary to apply lime to make up
deficiency. On the other hand, the
aim in giving the soil dose of lime is
usually to improve it's physical condi
tion. If the soil is sour, lime will
eweeten il; if it is light, lime will make
it more compecS; if it is too compact,
lime will loosen it. An object lesson as
to the effect Of lime upon soil is illus
trated in the following simple expert
ment. II two pieces Of heavy clay soil,
one Of which has had lime sprinkled
over it, are placed side by side, end
allowed to dry in the sun, the one
which has no lime on it will bake, be
como hard and crack, while the other
piece on which lime has been sprinkled
will become more porous and friable
and crumbles easily when submitted to
a slight pressure. The lime has per
meated the pores and brought about
this condition which is desirable in
soils and which adds so much to their
productive capacity.
On an average it will be found advis-
able to apply lime about once every
five years. From thirty to forty bush
els per acre OF air Stacked lime would
be sufficient quantity. 1t is best to
broadcast the lime over the plowed
surface Of the field. Do not work it
into the soil, es it will soon permeate
of it's own accord.
Besides, its action in improving the
physical condition of the soil referred

"GOOD FARMING"

A Maine paper gives an account of a
farm near Bar Hsrbor, from which the
owner receives a large annual income.
'Pluck, energy and enterprise" are the
terms used to explain his success in
farming, but what does he sell? People
who would do likewise will be pleased
to learn that 'last year he realized a
net income of $1,000 from granite,
gravel and loan which he sold from
his farm"
II these are annual crops, we ought
to know how to produce them without
exhausting the soil. Another item in
last years sales was 100 cords of wood.
AS the farm contains but seventy five
acres and produces eighty tons of hay,
the woodlot must be getting small. It
eomplicates the situation still more
when we read that he keeps ten horses
and and about dozen COWS and has
already sold his eighty tons of hay for
$50 per ton. Do his COWS and horses
live on the brush from the cordWood2
There is nothing said about a silo, nor
of any grain being grown. There must
be another side to his account, and a
bottom to his loan and gravel banks.
Holding upsuch a sy stem Of ombined
quarrying, forest destroying and soil
robbing as an example of profitable
farming through the exercise of
''pluck, energy, and enterprise" is an
insult to the farmers of the State, but
is reported go often with slight varia-
tions that custom is supposed to sane.

PROF. EMERY WRITES.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Noticing the letter of Mr.. Cline,
was struck by his offer to send crimson
clover seed into North Carolina as
novelty crop farmers ought to be ac-
quainted with That DR.. Haverdine
may have made an independent impor-
tation of this seed no one will deny,
but that he should be accredited with
having started this crop in the United
States is absurd. ''There is nothing
new under the sum-" and this clover
may have had dozen independent in
Productions before this writer, Mr..
Cline, or any other reader OF THE PRO
GREssIvE FARMER was born. Here at
Raleigh we have an unassuming far
mer who made an independent intro
duction Of crimson clover into this sec
tion by bringing little seed in his
trunk from England about twenty
years ago. It has been, grown by him
and others ever since, but has never
been as extensively grown anyw here
in America as in and around Delaware
within the laet eight years. There the
crop is properly valued as land i'm
proven and as a cash crop for seed to
sell.
Here in North Carolina crimson clio
yer was known for at least forty years,
as State Geologist Enmons makes some
very accurate observations on it
though falling into the error that it re-
quired cooler climate than is found
in E .stern counties. Tt was perhaps
grown in his time by sowing in spring.
II readers respond to Mr.. Cline's offer
of seed as farmers did to another from
the Experiment station a few years
ago his seed will soon be exhausted.
About S14O worth of seed went off like
hot cakes. and then only about one
third of the names listed were cup
piled. A notice had to DO given that
supply was exhausted.
Readers of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
will do much better and credit them
selves to buy seed of some growers and
enter into the cultivation Of this clover
on scale large enough to afford a
cloverseed hulier in every county or
town, and make cloverseed, instead of
cotton Or tobacco. one of the cash
crops. It will pay in increase of other
crops in rotation. It viii pay in itself
1t will pay in the increased number
of cattle, sheep and swine which can
be better kept on the farm, and each
animal made to sell for more money
than formerly without crimson clover.

No. SO

to above, the lime also liberates some
plant food, notably potash. If potash
previously existed in the soil in an in
soluble state, the lime will make it
available as plant food. 1t would be
poor policy, though, to continue to ap-
ply lime alone, since the soil would
soon become exhausted of its natural
supply of plant food which the lime
has liberated. An economical plan,
therefore, would be to keep up the soils
natural supply not only of potash, but
also of phosphoric acid and nitrogen as
well, since these are elements which
usually become exhausted first, and
which the farmer has to renew in the
shape of manures, etc.
