in my mind il viii fully equal them in
quality. as far as their fertilizing value
is concerned.
Don't despise the weeds. Glover and
COW peas al some period of the world
history were nothing but weeds; alfal-
ia and lespedeza were also nothing
more nor less thal weeds, While IL is
out lately that the virtues of bcggar
weed have been discovered. Again we
say. don't despise the weed. 1t is TO
them we will have to look quite large
" for our future supply of humus.
Don't burn them. Burn nothing
smaller than logs or brush. Weeds
are well worth caring for. Pile them
in piles and lei them rot down and you
have good ferti!izer-really, one OF
the very eest. Compost them with
refuse organic ma erial of any kind.
Let them but deeompose, and you have
fertilizer that for utility and value
.he world cant beat. 1t is natures
own fertilizer Don't despise the
weeds. Keep them out of your culti-
waited crops all yeu want 70 but where
ever you may find them odtside of the
cultivated area have wholesome re-
.pect for them. They are your friends,
and if YOU but encourage them little,
will put money in your pocket. Bury
them all YOU wait to and as deep
as YOU want to, but don't burn them.
Burning destroys large part of their
usefulness We're il not for weeds and
grass. there is many a southern $50
ealled) farmer who would not stir the
soil sufficiently to make crop at all.
Give the weeds chance. they are
friend to the nation as well as to the
individual. All the black lands of
Mississippi. of Alabama. and of Texas
need TO make them as fertile as they
ever were in the palmiest days of their
virgin freshness is to turn under
crop of weeds often enough and deep
enough. We challenge the whole
world to prove the contrary. There is
the problem of how best To restore the
lost fertility of our black lands solved
in a nutshell.-G. H. Turner, in Texas

THE UNLAURElED BRAVE.

Here's TO Admiral Dewey.
To Sampson, Watson and Schley-
He smashed them at Manila,
They caught them on the fly
As they steamed from the leaguered har-
bor.
Across the blue expanse-
And here's to the other heroes
That didn't get a chance.
Here's to the dauntless cruiser
That sailed around the Horn:
Here's TO the ships that crossed the sea
To where the day is born.
Here's to Fighting Bog and Hobson,
Those paiadins OF romance
And here's 10 the other heroes
That didn't get chance.
To the men tha; stormed the trenches
On Santiago's heights.
Young volunteers. and veterans
OF deadly Indian fights.
To the riders rough, as knightly
As those OF shield and lance
And here's 10 the other heroes
That didn't get a chanee'
Here's to the men that fed the fire,
To the men that served the gun:
To those VINO fought and those who fell
Ere the fight was well begun.
OH straight they shot and fierce they
struck
And led the dons a dance
And here's TO the other heroes
That didn't get chance!
They gave themselves as freely,
They bore the life of camps.
They faced the deadly fever.
The tropic heat and damps:
For all their faith and courage,
The fools of circumstance
Our boys, as brave as any.

HERE AND THERE.

There should he reform in hand
ling grass lands, as grass is the basis
upon which prosperity in many other
lines rests.
If a poorly barring orchard has
too much wood growth, SOW down to
grass; but the result must be watched,
as the grass will absorb the moisture
rapidly.
The well-fed pullet is an early
layer, provided she has not been too
well fed on fattening food. Have the
nests on the ground. If they are nailed
to the wall the fowls will roost on them
and befoul the litter.
Pumpkins furnish succulence and
are excellent TO give variety to the ra-
tions for the swine. They are highly
fattening. Hogs dn not always take to
them readily. but a fondness will be
soon developed.
The exhaustion of the free public
domain, the surprising foreign de-
mand for our productions, ana the
general movement toward better
roads, are all present factors in in
oreasing the value of farm lands.
The Mongolian pheasant is to be
given a trial of domestication in Ten
nessee. 1t is claimed the pheasant is
the most rapid multiplier of the game
birds. In their wild state they lay
from so to 40 eggs.
Reform in farm fencing is needed
Barbed wire is sufficient. but it is bar
barous. Smooth wire. or what bet
Ter, woven wire. or wire already made
into fencing, ready to be nailed to
posts, should take its place.
Hogs do not thrive on raw pota-
toes. When cooking potatoes for feed
place only little water in the kettle,
that they may be almost dry when
done. Mash the potatoes in the kettle
and mix bran with them, making a
thick pudding or mush.
Clay land is not usually so badly
exhausted as il seems to be. for il is
naturally retentive of plant food.
Thorough cultivation. which will mel
low il TO a good depth, will often bring
a good crop from land which for many
years may not have been productive.

What He Lacked.

4 certain man possessed Of great
wealth and proud of his possessions
was rather deficient in intellect. One
day he had an old man working for
him, an Irishman, possessing full
share of the wit of his race. The rich
man went out to oversee the job. He
looked at Pat a minute, hard at work,
and said:
well. Pat it's good to be rich,
isn't it?'
"Yis, sur" said Pat, meelly enough.
81 am rich, PGt-yery rich"

away.

An Accidental Discovery.

A correspondent tells of a man who
had been trying for some years to era
dicate blackberry patch with scythe
and grub hoe and had only succeeded
in making it more thrifty. But in eX-
tremely cold weather, when the vines
were frozen, a pile of saw logs on the
hill above broke loose and came down
over them, breaking them down. He
found in the spring that all were killed
over which the logs went. Since that
he has killed them by moving them in
the winter when frozen. AS they are
sometimes pesI when where they
are not wanted, this is worth a trial,
and it would possibly have the same
effect on some other undesirable shrubs
and bushes. 1t would be a good thing
TO test ii on sweet fern, bayberry and
laurel in the pastures. Now in Janu-
airy and burn as soon as dry in the
spring might be better than the old
rule of moving in July and burning
in August, though we have had good
success in that way.-Southern Plan

riod of four weeks, or one bushel pro-
dueed 1874 pounds.
A. 1t requires ~ pounds of corn
meal to produce one pound of pork, OF
one bushel of corn made into meal and
fed will produce 1874 pounds of pork.
5. When dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed fat

6. 1t required ~ pounds or one
bushel OF ground oats to produce one
pound of pork when fed with equal
parts by weight of corn meal.
I. One bushel OF cornmeal is worth
nearly three bushels of oats as food
for fattening hogs.
s. Corn fed pigs gained AZ pounds

Improbable Experiments.

Those who seek Improvement in up-
grading of cattle herd should shun
the stupendous folly of mixing up
blood elements by changing from time
to time the breed from which the sires
are chosen. Such experimenting in a
wholesale way is altogether without
excuse on the part of those who earn
their bread by keeping live stock.
Those who practice these methods be-
tray lack of the first principles of
breeding. They remind one of the
man who spent his life in building a
mound of stones and taking it down
again as often as he built it. He ended
MS work just where he began.-Da-
