FARMER AND PLANTER.
SYSTEMATIC hUseANDRv.

What u Georgia Farmer Understands BY
Intensive Farming.
unde rstand intensive farming to
be, to go deep down into the soil. with
one or two horse turning plows and
subsoil 1t; to thoroughly pulverize the
land to a good depth; to concentrate
fertilizers, chemical, commercial and
stable manure, and by vegeta BILE
growth on the soil. / understand in.
tensive farming to be also the quick
and rapid culture of q crop during
the growing season, and make four
bales of cotton on the area that now
produces only one bale, or four BUSH
els OF corn where only one bushel
was raised before, or increasing
the yield Of any product on
q given area fourfold. The
logical result of intensive farming is
large increase in the value of the
land and the realization of a profit
that makes farming remunerative. As
an illustration of the practical work.
lngs of the intensive system we will
devote one acre to cotton and apply
broadcast 900 pounds of acid phos-
phate and cotton seed meal the first
year at a cost of 81. Any land fit to
be cultivated with this application
would yield from $50 to 400 pounds of
lint cotton per acre the first year, an
increase of 225 pounds. At seven
cents per pound this would give SIS. rs
increase in value, and after deducting
expenses net profit of S7.25 the first
year. The second year this acre put
in corn and peas, with the applica-
ton of thirty bushels of cot
ton seed, would yield 25 to 80 bushels
OF corn, and fodder and peas sufficient
TO cover all expenses and realize a net
profit OF $500. The third year the
same acre put in cotton, with the APP
plication of 1000 pounds of fertilizer
broadcast will produce two $50 pound
bales of cotton. Estimating the cot
ton at seven cents per pound, and the
cost of production at $50, the net profit
will be s33.
This system may look expensive, but
1t pays in the end. 1t will be seen that
according to this system that Is acres
each In corn and cotton will produce
as much as As acres of poor land half
worked. We can improve the land by
growing leguminuous plants, dividing
the land into three sections so that
we will have peas every year.-B. w.

Forest Leaves.

It is very often advised by agricul.
tural writers to go into the forests and
secure leaves for bedding for horses
and other stock. There is no objection
to this If other bedding can not be
easily obtained. But the leaves are
procured with the idea that they are q
valuable addition to the manure heap.
On the contrary, they are of very little
value there, as when rotted down a
very large heap of leaves will make
only, al insignificant amount of leaf
mold, whose chief value is in the
potash it contains. But in the forest
the leaves serve an important pur-
pose, keeping the soil moist roder
them.

THE BREEDING BUSINESS.
1t Has to be Learned Thoroughly, Like
Any Other.

1t Has to be Learned Thoroughly, Like
Any Other.
Few men start in the breeding bust.
ness as they would start in any other
line of work. To make a success of
any line of business it is necessary
that the man know the business thor
oughly, and he can only do that
through more or less extensive expe-
rience. No man can learn the best
part Of what should and must be
known by the successful stockman
without actual experience in the care,
Judging, breeding and feeding of the
particular line of stock selected for
breeding. No man can learn to ride
bicycle, for instance, by seeing others
do it. Nor can lie do so by the most
profound process of reasoning and
the most thorough course of reading
and study. He must mount the
machine and learn by actual expe-
rience. So it Is with the stockman, he
must learn to balance himself be-
tween the pitfalls of extravaganza on
one side and the boulders of careless
ness on the other. He must learn by
actual care in feeding not to feed too
much or too little. He must learn
from experience gained as it were, by
living in the pens or stables. AS q
writer states it, he must, to be a sue
cessful hog raiser, read hog, talk hog.
eat hog end live with the hog.
While the above is true, that no man
can learn by reading and study alone
what should be known before en-
barking in the stock-raising business,
it is equally true that to obtain the
requisite experience to gain success it
is not necessary that he purchase a
large herd and through failure pay
dearly for his experience. He should
start with very few select specimens
of the breed. This Is important, for
many a man makes failure because of
inferior stock that with good stock
would achieve success. Start with
two, three or five frstclass individu-
ais Of the breed selected, and by close
observation and good care make these
profitable, and our word for it, by the
time these prove themselves profitable
the owner, If he has properly studied
the questions involved in the breeding
business, will be able to make double
the number pay as well or better. II
there is one business above another
in which experience is the only safe
teacher it is stock raising. Many pay
dear for small amount of knowledge
while others get much at small ex-
pensc, but all get it in the same school
and in the same way. To make haste
slowly" should be the aim of the be-
ginner in stock raising. for there is
much more to learn than the average
man of no experience is aware Of
