the Southern farmer the necef sity Of
changing his methods of farming and
of devoting his attention to raising
other crops and live stock.
On account of the exceedingly low
prices of the staple product an Inter,
State Farmers Convention was held at
Vicksburg, Miss, February $40. 1899,
for the purpose of discussing new
methods Of diversifying crops. The
addresses delivered and discussed at
that convention were placed in the
hands of the Secretary of Agriculture,
and by his direction have been con-
densed in the Division Of Publications
and have been issued as Farmers
Bulletin No. 90, entitled Suggestions
to Southern Farmers"
These addresses relate to soils, the
peculiar advantages Of the South for
growing forage crops, raising and feed.
ing live stock, cotton seed and it's
products, and other agricultural mat
ters.
Diversified farming with rotation Of
crops and an increase in stock raising
are urged for adoption by the South
ern farmer-a system that will IL clude
more crops to enrich the soil instead Of
wearing out the land; n that will
provide more live stock to consume
the products and manure to still further
enrich the soil.
Attention is called to the great value
of cotton seed and its products as com
pared with corn and other foods, and
suggestions are given as to handling
them so that the South may be able to
derive a much greater and a very
much larger revenue from these
products.
In the raising of forage crops the
climate of the South gives it many ad-
vantsges. Timothy, clover, red top,
oats, alfalfa, ~lespedez3, vetches, and
COW peas, the Southern favorite, are
grown, and on the alluvial lands alfalfa
furnishes from 5 to 7 cuttings during
the year.
Another valuable bulletin is entitled
Hog Raising in the South" was re
ferred 70 in The Progressive Farmer Of
June 9th.
Both bulletins are for free distribu,
ton; applications to be addressed to

Answered by Prof. T. E. E merry:
The best way we know of preserving
eggs is to gather up frequently and ex-
anime them by candle, unless positive
they are fresh, and ship promptly into
cold storage. This il not found can be
prepared wherever there is an ice
making plant. OF course charges will
seem high, but this is the only way
eggs can be preserved perfectly fresh
and ready for market at highest
prices. There are several ways in
which eggs are preserved for several
weeks or months. One is to arrange
the eggs small ends down in q crCcH
