Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
But few crops, If any, will give bet.
ter results for the time necessarily con.
sumed in culture.
HOT BEDS.
Construct box about 19 inches deep
the size wanted for bed by standing
boards edgeWise, secured by stakes
driven into the ground. No bottom re
quired. Place wheat straw to the
depth Of about six inches and pack
down. Then six inches of fresh stable
manure and wet with water Then
place on the manure to the depth of
about two inches we'll rotted chip ma
nure, clean sand or rich earth (any will
answer Well)
Some advocate using green pine tops
in lieu of the wheat straw. In some
instances, such as melon vines when
placed in the bottom Of a trench, they
exert a remarkable influence in resist
j13 drouth. I suggest a test.
Some prefer chip manure for cover
ing.
When the vines run about three to
four feet cut them eff, leaving one leaf
on the stub. Cut the vines, each piece
containing three leaves, and set out as
you would sprouts drawn in the usual
way, two of the leaves being buried
and one left above ground. The quan.
tity and quality of potatoes can thus be
largely improved. Consequently no
sprouts should be set, except a limited
quantity for early use.
If not ready to set cut, the tops of
the vines may be pinched off and let
stand thus until a sucker starts out
above each leaf. When these suckers
are about one inch long the vines should
be cut eff, as aforesaid, and cut into
pieces of one, instead Of three leaves.
These cuttings may be properly
placed in moist earth near a branch
and covered to exclude the sun. In a
few days roots will start out, when
they may be in excellent condition for
transplanting.
I am not prepared to state definitely
which is the better plan, to cut into
leI gths of one or three leaves, but be-
lieve that one will be found preferable.
In this case, the potatoes will grow
near the surface where they can re
ceive the benefit of the heat and air to
greater extent Either plan will
doubtless prove satisfactory. The sec
ond crop of vines should be cut off as
aforesaid.
After sprouts start out from the stubs
pull up and set out. The bed may then
be torn up and the manure applied else
where.
Puddling.-This is done by making
q soft mortar Of clay (not surface soiD

titles and it is not an unusual thing to
hear the remark made that full barn.
means fine stock. It should therefore
be the duty of every farmer to raise a
supply of food, for both man and beast,
amply sufficient, so that he may be
prepared to give them all the necessary
food required, and even though it may
be the result of full barn, have fine
stock.
''The suggestion contained in the ar
ticle covers half the ground, and the
other half can be obtained by the proper
cultivation of the soil in grain. We
are in favored land and the fault is
with US if we do not succeed. 1t is of
the first Importance to raise corn, oats,
potatoes, turnips, German millet and
meat enough to supply the home de
mand, and then let your surplus crops
be tobacco, broom corn, beets, aspara
gus or some other money making crop,
and I believe coupled with energy,
economy and thought the farmers will
be prosperous, have plenty aud to
spare."

apart and leaving two plants in each
hill. The theory of the plan is this:
The hills being twice the usual distance
apart and containing two plants in
stead Of one, and the fertilizer being
distributed continuously along the row,
the latter will not be so readily access
ible to the plants, and will, therefore,
be more gradually appropriated aloDg
through the growing season, instead of
all becoming accessible and being taken
up during the early stages of the crop
growth.
Tests Of these two me- DDS in coma
parison with planting q feet, after
the usual way, show tb~ there is no
advantage in either cf u. ose peculiar
tads. On the contrary. eftar two years
tests, the bulletin consluc 4:
1. That the yield .: cor. will not be
increased by planting IN double rows,
as compared with single rows, the mum
Der of plants per acre being the same IL
each case.
3, The general and incidental indica
tions Of many previous experimental
both in corn and cotton, point to the
conclusion that thazpore nearly the
acre of soil appropriated to each indi
vidual plant approaches the form of g
square the greater will be the yield.
Subsoiling stiff red clay in December
gave no increase in the following sea
sons corn crop as compared with ad
joining plots not subsoiIed.
COTTON.
The bulletin adds that Aliens Long
Staple has again proven to be the most
productive long staple upland cotton
ever cultivated at the station, If the
lint were sold at an advance of 3 cents
per pound over the price on which the
comparisons were based in tables Q and
8, the value Of total products would
place this variety easily at the head of
the test. The lint is much longer than
ordinary upland, and under favorable
market conditions would probably
fetch 2 cents pound more.

No. 8

A mixture of stable manure, cotton
seed meal and acid phosphate, applied
without composing, afforded a slightly
larger yield than did exactly the same
materials made into compost about one
month before using.
Composing increased the efficiency
Of Florida soft phosphate, but not Of
acid phosphate.
Slightly larger yields were obtained
by bedding on all the fertilizer than by
reserving one fourth and applying this
portion in the seed drill at planting
time.
One hundred and fifty pounds per
acre Of cotton seed meal afforded
larger yield Of seed cotton than 316
pounds of cotton seed or 7O1 pounds of
nitrate of soda. These amounts of the
above named fertilizers contained
equal quantities of nitrogen; hence
cotton seed meal was the source whence
the most effective form of nitrogen was
obtained. Acid phosphate was more
effective than soft phosphate rock.
Phosphate alone failed to increase the
yield. Cotton seed meal alone was
highly beneficial. Kainit largely in.
creased the yield, because it decreased
injury from black rust.

GERMAN MILLET.
An exchange says:

An exchange says:
IF you will prepare one acre of good
land and make it rich with manure or
fertil ger, say 30 loads manure or ton
of good fertilizer and put in fine con
dition and SOW one bushel of German
millet to the acre any time in May, you
can make three or four tons of hay the
equal of timothy. 1t should be cut be-
fore ripe, when in full head, but before
seed are ripe. Try it and you will con-
tinue it."
Hon. VIM. J. Leary, Sr., who is well
known in Eastern North Carolina, has
written for the Elizabeth City Oarolin-
ian some comments on this clipping.
He says:
II have purchased hay which turned
out to be a very poor article OF food for
horses and mules, and OF no value at
all for cattle. The German millet,
when treated as suggested is not only a
great producer, but is full or nutritious
matter. 1t takes something more than
corn and cats for working teams. 1t Is
said that man cannot live by bread
alone, and it is also true of our faithful
servants, the beasts of burden, such as
the horse and mule, which require q
certain amount of long feed, to keep
them in good condition and working
order. I think from observation, I can
safely say, that nine out Of ten farmers
will be careless about the supply of
food to their team, when they have to
buy from time to time, in small guam

CORN EXPERIMENTS,
Bay City, Texas.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Now that time for complaining is
here, the subject is being discussed
again. Farmers want the views of ex
perienced men along this line, and do
not think we can find better literature
than experiment station bulletins.
htGeorgia Station has recently made
some corn experiments, and as expert
ence means something more than mere
prattle, I will give THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER readers an epitome of the re-
suits obtained.
The tertIlz tests con firm results of
previoJ S years, that commercial fertili
z9rs do not pay on corn In Georgia, but
if used at all the best mixture is 1, 900
pounds Of acid phosphate, 80 pounds
of muriate Of potash and /, 900 pounds
Of cotton seed meal.
The tests of raw bone meal led to the
following conclusions:
1. 1t is not expedient or profitable TO
apply raw bone meal as a source of
phosphoric acid. This conclusion was
also reached in discussing the cotton
experiment of 1895.
2. That the residual effect of raw
bone meal on a next succeeding crop is
not sufficiently marked to justify its
use on preceding crop.
3. That, generally, it is not advisable
to rely on raw bone meal as a source
Of phosphorIc, for annual crops, unless
the price is very much lower than the
current market rates.
In regard to disterce, two rather
peculiar customs have had adherents
in Georgia and possibly elsewhere. One
is to plant corn in double rows; that is,
plant two rows one foot apart, and
then leave five or six feet of space and
plant two more, and so on. The other
peculiar method is thus stated by the
bulletin:
The method consists essentially in
laying off the corn rows at a moderate
width, distributing the fertilizers con-
tinuously along the rows, then spacing
the hills at double the usual distance

SEED CORN.

heating,

:. While Georgia Cracker" writes on
oorn experiments this week, we give
~ the consideration of our readers
the following timely hint from a cor
respondent of Farmers Voice:
Nov is good time to look over the
seed corn and shell q bushel of the very
best ears, to plant on the best ground
il the field, and then to get your seed
next fall Out of eight or ten bushels you
ought to get one bushel of first class
seed. Don't take an ear that will not
give grains at least three fitths of an
inch long, Let the ears be about nine
or ten inches long and well filed out at
ends, cob not large and of even eize
Don't shell ears that have 6 chaffy
look let the grains be glossy and sound
in appearance. The ear should feel
heavy when you pick it up. Such corn
when shelled should weigh about sixty
pounds to the bushel. It will keep
from now till the planting if kept dry.
1t does not pey to change seed corn,
if you have a good variety keep on i'm
proving it. In Central and Northern
Illinois corn does best if it ripens in
about 100 days from the date of com
ing up. I raised such corn last year
and it shelled out sixty. two bushels per
acre and weighed fifty eight pounds to
the stroked bushel, two and one six
teenths feet in the crib shelIed a
bushel."

condition from dry, hard and firm to
very wet and soft, show without a
single exception a large difference in
draft in favor of the broad tires. This
difference ranged from II to 12O per
cent.
5, 1t appears that six inches is the
best width Of tire for a combination
farm and road wagon, and that both
aXles should be the same length, so
that the front and hind wheels will run
in the same track.
6. Marrow tires were much more de-
structive to all kinds of roads. Indeed,
the wide tires improve most roads.
It is estimated that the public roads
Of the United States aggregate /, 500, =
600 miles in length. Conservative esti
mates place the total wagon transpor-
tation in the United States at approx
mately 500, 600, 600 tons. The average
distance of haul is placed at eight miles,
and the average cost of transporting
one ton this distance is assumed to be
81, making the total yearly cost for
wagon freighting 1000, 100000. 1t ia
claimed that this freight could be trans
ported the distance of eight miles over
first class roads at an average cost of
so cents per toU. On this basis, say
ing of $500, ,OOO,O 900 a year in the cost of
wagon transportation could be effected
with first class roc d5 in all sections of
the country. The magnitude of this
saving will be better appreciated when
it is realized that it amounts to about
one fourth Of the value, on the farm, of
all the farm products of the United
States.
In round numbers the sum Of $2O,-
600, 600 is paid out each year for the
maintenance Of our public roads out
side Of the cities. This estimate does
not include the cost of permanent i'm
provements. Thus at the end of the
year, after an expenditure of $50, ,0OO,-
600, the roads of the country are no
better than they were at the beginning
Of the year. The tax payers may go
on paying this enormous sum for the
maintenance of the public highways
under the present system for an indefi-
mite time without securing improved
roads. All improvement must come
from expenditures above this amount,
from changes in the methods of repair
ing the highways or from the more
careful use of them after they are re-
paired.
The maintenance of our public high
ways is therefore a serious problem In
volving the expenditure of large sums
Of money, and all means for reducing
this expense without impairing the
efficiency Of the system should be i'm
mediately adopted. Give us broad
tires.

moist, the plants will grow off readily
without water. But if late in the sea
son, and especially if the weather be
warm, it will be better to water the
plants after they have been set, in ad
dition to the application of clay.
A serious objection to hot beds is that
when the plants are transferred to cold
ground they become stunted and as a
result grow off slowly. But if we let
the vines remain, as aforesaid, the heat
of the bed will, before the plants are
removed, run down to sufficient extent
to greatly lessen, if not wholly remove,
said objection.
At the last working do not cover the
vines. Sprouts should never be set
deeper than they grow on the bed. If
the sprouts are overgrown cut off the
tops, leaving two leaves on the stubs
The ridges may be four feet apart
and the plants set from IL to Is inches
apart, according to the fertility of the
soil, rich land requiring the latter dis
Jance.
Cooking Potatoes for Hogs.-If pota
toes be boiled and when done about
one fourth the quantity of corn meal
and suficiency of salt to make them
palatable be added, believe that the
mixture will fatten hogs faster than all
corn. Before killing they may be fed
for proper time wholly on corn OF
dough.
| Keeping Potatoes.-If potatoes be
put away at the right time and in the
right way they can easily be kept
through two winters. Conseq equently
it is an easy matter to keep them until
the new crop comes in. But for lack
of space, directions for keeping will be
reserved for future article
