LIVE AT HOME.

The following article, which we clip
from the Laurinburg Exchange, con
tains some sound sense, and we COM
mend it to the consideration of our
readers:
Live at home," is a motto, upon
which farmer can build for success,
and never has the need of such prac
tice been more clearly exemplif1ed
than in this years business. IT'S quite
true that you cannot always figure it
out" that it pays a farmer to raise his
bread and meat and other home sup
plies, but practical experience evinces
the expediency. Scarcely anything
has done more to depress the condition
of farmers, especially small farmers,
than has the wholesale absorption Of
the idea that cotton is the only money
crop"
Take the typical old farmer, who
''ived at home," first producing his
home supple and then producing for
market, and you will find. nine cases
out of ten, a man who lived happily,
died in peace and left well provided
for family. A righteous fear of debt,
close economy, thonorableness in all
things and strict attention to business
have made many such men rich and
prosperous. ''Get out of your daddy'a
old rut and live up to the times" may
be good advice and it may not; Ger.
tainly, it would be well to see that you
are getting into better rut, before you
leave old one. It's not bad idea to dc
as 1.-THE old man" did, especially il ths
old man did well.
Then look around you to day and SCI
the havoc that has been born OF thiI
latter day new order Of things. Watch
the collectors wagon and see how il
goes to the home of some and hauIs of
all except the dirt around the front door
and then see how it passes others by
There is something in method and Ger
tainly no man needs more change il
his method than does the farmer, who
is suffering from the hallucination that
cotton is the only crop.

AORTICULTURE
EDUCATIONAL EXTENSION
WORK.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
In 1894. at the urgent request of the
fruit growers of Western New York,
York, the legislature appropriated
So, 600 to be expended by the expert
ment station in teaching horticulture
to the people Of that section of the
State.
A test was made of five lines Of work !:
1 Local experiments by fruit growers
under direction of the station profess
ors, @ The publication and free dis
tribution OF pamphlets on horticulture,
written in language that all could un-
derstand. A travelling horticultural
school, remaining a week in each neigh
borhood. f. Elementary instruction
in the public schools. 5 Instruction
in horticulture by means Of correspond
euce and reading courses. Good results
followed and the work became so popu
lar that in 1895 the legislature doubled
the appropriation, giving $40. 900, and
the same amount was appropriated in
1896 In 1897 the amount was raised
to $24, 900, and the scope OF the work
enlarged from horticulture to general
agriculture, and the field was made to
embrace the whole State instead of only
the western end of it.
One fundamental diff ;ulty with our
agricultural condition is that there Ia
no attempt to instruct the children in
matters which awaken an interest in
country life. And of course the chill
dren of a State cannot be instructed
from the State Experiment Station.
But the teachers can be taught by the
station force how to instruct the chill
dren in their schools in these matters.
With this end in view a series Of
leaflets for the use Of teachers has been
prepared and placed in the hands of
the rural school teachers. Courses of
study have been prepared for teschers,
and lectures have been delivered before
teachers institutes and summer normal
and training schools. AS q general
rule the rural teachers have readily
taken hold of this new line of useful
ness.
This much to reach the young peo.
pie. In order to reach and benefit
those whose school days lie behind
them, reading courses and correspond
ence schools were inaugurated by the
station. The first texts used were bulIe
tins 119 on Texture of the Soil, +" and
100, on Moisture Of the Soil. " After
reading one of these bulletins the
farmer receives a printed circular ask
ing number of questions which he is
to think about and figure out for him
self. His answers are corrected and

FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.

ro-rasnondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Bulletin 143 Of North Carolina Sta
ton. relates to the feed, milk produc
ton and care of COWS, and is offered
with the hope that it will prove inter
esting to these who are studying these
questions. The old plan of feeding was
to give to stock not only feed for con
sumption, but a large quantity also to
be trampled under foot. When tne
profias from farming were much larger
than at present the loss was not so serl
GUS as it is now, although it was prop
ably as great. It is the desire or the
experiment. station to call attention to
the waste which comes from feeding a
badly balanced" ration, and to sug'
gesk better and more economical pro
portion between the different feeding
stuffs used, The first portion or the
bulIesion contains the results from
feeding ordinary substances grown
uuon North Carolina farms, with the
addition of easily obtainable substances
such ss corn silage, cotton seed meal,
wheat bran, sweet potatoes, cotton
seed, corn fodder, cow pea meal and
soy bean silage, corn shucks' Wnea1
straw. etc. The conclusions are:
/. The ration of sweet potatoes, raw
cotton seed, pulled fodder and COW pea
meal gave better results than did corn
and SOY bean silage and cotton seed
meal, with wheat bran mixed IN ratio
Of one to two by weight.
2. The corn and soy bean silage, with
cotton seed meal and wheat bran, gave
better result than did sweet potatoes
and corn shucks, with a mixture OF
cotton seed meal, corn meal and COW
pea meal mixed in the proportions OF
six, two and one.
Cotton seed hulls and meal. for
butter production, leads corn shucks
and wheat straw with corn meal,
ground wheat and cotton seed meal
mixed in proportions Of two, three and
FIVE, The latter made the most milk,
4VWSV6Es
The second portion of the bulletin is
also a feeding experiment, but in this
case pigs are used instead OF COWS, and
the feeding stuffs are arranged with the
object of contrasting skim milk ana
butter milk from cream (not from
Whole milk).
Fifteen thrifty young pigs were pur-
Chased to test separated or centrifugal
skim milk against butter milk churned
from sour cream, for making pork.
The pigs were farrowed September 4
and II Their breeding by the two
dams, which were litter sisters, was
exactly alike. They were taken from
'ne sows at six and seven weeks old
and fed about what they would eat

Correspondence OF the Progressive Farmer
As we are on the eve Of holiday--a
time when the Christian world stops
from the regular business of life to
celebrate the nativity of the Saviour Of
the world; it is a suitable time for gen
eral reflections; a time to lay plans, to
adjust or correct wrongs to retrospect
the past, and from il to draw conclu,
sions for the future. Perhaps all bust
ness enterprise needs this retrospection,
but more than any other the farmer
needs it. This, then, is suitable, q
propitious Tina for the farmer to take
his bearings and see what ne is doing.
He is the mRinstay of the business
world, therefore he should be careful
to plan and execute 50 he will be recog
nized as filing and controlling the moss
important place in the vast machinery
OF social progress.
But if you go around and listen to
the meanings of some farmers as they
deplore the results of cotton at s cents
pound, you would suppose he felt
nothing at all of the dignity of his. high
calling.
In the first pace, the farmer is re
sponsible for this price; he has ex
panded and continued to expand his
broad acres and plant the feecy staple,
till here in Eastern North Carolina the
farmer could barely get his cotton out
GVZ nn
There is remedy, and that remedy is
to plant enough for the worlds needs
and no more, and few individuals
ought not to expect to spread out over
that area and leave the rest of the fra
ternity out, but let every one who de
sires to plant a crop of cotton, or any
other marketable product, to consider
the probable needs, consider his pro
portional share as to supplying from
his farm these needs and then plant
accordingly. Why should cotton
farmer plant more when the staple sells
at 8 cents than when it goes at cents
the year beforeQ Here is where the
greed comes in, and it is the old story
of the dog crossing the brook with g
fine bone in his mouth, but drops it to
catch at the imaginary figure of an
other dog with his lunch" OF course
he lost both, and go does the greedy
farmer who puts in 100 acres of cotton
because the price was higher last year,
when 25 acres would have been his pro
portionate part of the crop needed.
Another error with the average
farmer is his conclusion that if small
farmer can make cotton at cents q
pound on or 10 acres of land, of course
he can make it in the same proportion
on 100 or 300 acres. This calculation
generally results in failure.
This extensive system of farming
does not pay in dollars and cents;
neither does it pay in the general salts
faction and peace which the small farm
affords.

keep a pair of scales, Babcock test
and a careful memorandum and
promptly weed out the dead beats.
This done and every farmer who
keeps COWS can rest assured that his
crops are sold at home to customers
that never cheat, but pay according to
what they get, thus saving hauling,
freights, commissions, bad debts. etc.
