The c~ontinuaccs or repeal OF the law

Another thing which prevents the
purchase OF votes is the Australian
Ballot Law. 1t is an effective safe
guard to vote buying because the
purchaser cannot be sure that the

so plainly what Nevada needs, his at

frosts fall on them. I'm sowing turnip
seed or radishes, it is well to scatter
a little oats among them; the oats
springing up, serve as a protection
against insects that prey upon the
young plants, thus at times saving the
turnip crop. Of course the oats should
be used very sparingly, or they may
choke out the young turnip plants.
In conclusion, it is just aswell to say
that no success may be expected with
out an abundant supply of manure.
Haul out everything you can scrape
up and scatter it upon your garden.
Turnips, radishes and cabbage, need
plenty of it and will repay you in a
large measure for every load they get.

Diversified Farmin &.

The following emanates from the
Texas Experiment Station and is
pertinent, not only for Texas, but for
other Gulf States. It is written by
W. A. Clark and has strong endorse
ment. Thinking, brain work, mus
enter into the farming of the future,
where farming is a success. The de-
mand for the proper rotation of crops
is here supplied. The Ruralist sug-
gests that the article is worthy Of be-
ing filed away.
To make a success of crops, it takes
thought A man who does not think
is not fit to run mixed farm. AS in
any other business, the one running
the business must know what to plant
and when to plant; how deep, how
thick and when it will ripen if no mis-
fortune befalls it. Then next, where
is the market for it, who is to con-
sumo the crop in question, what kind
of bundles or packages must it be put
in to suit his taste and convenience,
and his ability to take one or more
packages. Without this thought no
Texas man has any business trying it,
only on small scale, for home use.
How to diversity: Plant corn and
peas at last blowing, which should be
from May 20 to 30. They enrich the
land and make an abundance of feed
or pasture, as preferred. Skip a row
of corn occasionally, and plant GU
shaws. Sow oats in October, cut the
last days of May. Turn the land at
once. Plant cotton, melons, sorghum,
peas. IF the season is wet enough to
get stand at once, often good yields
are produced.
Irish potatoes: Plant cotton in the
middle of the rows at the proper time.

A Speciality in Fruit and Vegetable
GrOWin0

Growing.
This is the age of the specialist.
The best of our doctors are not gener-
al practitioners but specialists on GER
tain kinds Of disease. A scientist is
no longer simply biologist bet de-
votes the major portion Of his time
to studying some one particular fam
lily of animals Or plants in order that
he may become recognized authority
upon that particular family. Why
is not this the case with more Of our
general about the habits of growth
of all our fruits anI vcgeta oles is very
true as is also the frct that we should
grow variety Of fruits and vegeta-
bles. But at the same time should we
not give some one thing our best care
and attention? We believe that this
method pays best. jet us grow then
variety but have some one thing to
which we largely depend upon as our
crop.
Take Strawberries for example. This
is one of the main products for north
ern shipment in certain sections of
the South especially along the Illinois
Central road. In most parts of Louis
lana and southern Mississippi this
crop receives little or no attention
and the first Strawberries in the New
Orleans market are generally from
points north of the city. Thus the
trucker who makes a speciality Of
Strawberries should study and expert
ment with nearly all the varieties and
know the best markets for this par
ticular fruit and by becoming known
as strawberry specialist the grow.
er can largely increase his money in
come through the sale of plants. To
grow the plants is one thing. To
sell them is another. And both need
the best of the specialists thought.
Few people realize how much can
be made from an acre of ground when
given proper dIColtIOu ILL Straw O0IIy
growing. On this point Mr.. O. w.
B1acl<nall a specialist in North Caro-
lima says in a recent number of that
excellent paper Our Horticultural Wis
itor: ''In 1887, by heavy manuring, I
Melted $3.50 on a quarter of an acre;
in 1888. [ melted 5000 on scant acre
and quarter; I averaged that year
$500 net an acre on five acres; in 1890
averaged $500 an acre on five acres,
in 1898 I netted 5000 an acre on all
had under intensive culture about
five acres' While we have not the
figures at hand, we have no doubt but
that DR.. HI. E. Mckay of Madison, Mis-
