How to Make Farming Profitable.

How to Make Farming Profitable.
First of all, we should prepare all
our land we'll. We should then use the
best seeds of all kinds that can be OBJ
tanned, as highly improved seed makes
from one-third to one-half more than
ordinary seed. Here in middle GeOr-
gia 1 don't think it pays to raise
wheat But we can raise corn, meat
potatoes, syrup and vegetables. Also
fruit of nearly all kinds grow in album
dance, with very little work. Now as
to cotton, we can raise lots of that,
but can't afford to raise much of it at
five cents per pound, we can raise
some cotton at five cents if we will
raise everything we can that we need.
I will give my plan for raising five
cent cotton. In 1895 1 had one acre in
cotton, with rows four feet wide. I
put all the manure from two mules
and four COWS on the one acre, plant
ed it April 4, and plOwed it eight times,
the last blowing being on June &c. I
call that fast cultivation. l cultivate
as shallow as possible all the time.
That one acre made 3,12S pounds seed
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-03-29

cotton. In 1896 had four acres that
made four good bales, with the same
kind of treatment. If we can make
1900 pounds per acre, there will be a
little profit in it at five cents but if we
don't get over 1000 pounds seed cotton
per acre, we lose money on every
pound we sell at six cents.
Every farmer should have plenty Of
good pasture, and there is nothing that
will pay as we'll as Bermuda grass, for
it stands more dry weather than any
thing and will keep cattle fat eight
months in the year. One acre of good
land in Bermuda grass will keep four
head of plow stock fat from April I
until December 1 without a feed of
corn while at work. I don't believe
there can be too much said and done
for the Bermuda grass. Neither do I

berries.
A writer in the Strawberry Cultur-
ist says:
''One finds the best specimens of AL
pines in Italy. 1 made inquiry as to
their method there. 1t seems that the
culturists dig up the wild plants and
give them high culture and rich soil.
The fruit improves up to the third
year and then deteriorates They then
have to go back to the woods for
fresh start.
In this State we know of one grow
err who pursued a somewhat similar
plan. He allowed the plants to escape
into an uncuItiVated tree row, Where
they had hard struggle for life with
the weeds and crabgrass, and only the
strongest survived. After a year or
two he took up these survivors, which
had become comparatively wild, and
found them extra hardy.
A better plan, however, is to set out
vigorous young plants, which have
never fruited, give them fairly good
cultivation and little fertilizer and
pick off all the blossoms as fast as
they appear; if this has to be done a
dozen times or more during the spring
This will prevent the weakening of the
plant by fruiting, and the runners
which it will produce next summer
will be much improved in hardness
and productiveness. 1t will save the
necessity of sending to North Carolina
every year or two to purchase a new
lease of life in the plants. March is a
good month in which to do this. The
plants will not need much attention
beyond watering and picking off the
blossoms, until after the shipping sea-
son is over; then they can be we'll
cleaned out and put in good shape for
growing by the beginning Of the rainy
season.

believe there can be too much said in
praise of the pea vine. The pea vine
will enrich land faster than anything.
They also make the best of feed for
cattle and mules when cut and cured.
They make more hay than anything

the men who are directly responsible

It is curious fact that the republi

charges are false. as that his exposure
of the methods of the beef packers will
iujure a great business. Not one word

Mr.. Editor:
We notice your remarks concerning

have waited a week for a reply from
Lincoln. We failed to observe any,
SO we with to reply to statements
made two weeks ago.
We note YOU say it is not necessary
for u, to agitate ourselves over this
question. We would say that the rea-
son our town is SO small is that we
have not agitated ourselves previous
ly aud have allowed every thing to
operate to the disadvantage of our
own town.
Belpre is four miles west of the
county line. This proposed road
starts On The line three miles east of
Belpie and runs northeast to the
county line.
How on ealth will such q road help

The number of people benefited by
this bill is not SO great as supposed,
as only short distance-four or five
miles-sou h of where the chief petit
tioners reside. people go to Haviland

ETC, it. is fact that when extensiv
purchases in this line are made peo-
pie from this neighborhood go to Lar

MILES VS.. MEAT PACKERS.

We certainly hope Mckinley hasn't
forgotten what it is to be soldier,
and need good rations, and that he
will assert his independence of all
combines and rings and see that these
charges are investigated. Charges
made by the commanding general of
the army are not to be set lightly
aside, and he should be given the op-
portunity to prove what he undoubt-
edly believes to be true.
Miles has made but one statement,
which he prefaced by saying:
II have been most freely quoted
without authority from me or without
an utterance ON my part. 1t has
been source of great annoya..ce to
me-"
His statement is as follows:

sisting of communications, afiidavits,

KAIsER'S FIGHT FOR A NAVY.
All German Omcialdom Striving for
the Bill in RcichEtag.

A Berlin dispatch says the principal fea-
ture OF yesterdays session in the reich
stag was DR.. Won Miquers defense against
the implied charge of the centrist leader,
DR.. Leiber, that he was the irresponsible
adviser who has prejudiced the emperor
against the reichstag and the people"
This he holly repudiated. declaring that he
found il difficult to reply to such an insinu-
alton with parliamentary courtesy.
The encounter between the emperor's re-
Gently all-powerfu, adviser and the leader
of the strongest faction in the reichstag
was in impressive Spectacle.
The entire government, from the en-
peror down to the humblest village police
man, is working at high pressure to carry
the naval bill. The semi-oficfai press is
daily waging vigorous campaign in favor
of the measure. Today the inspired Berlin
Corresponding contains an article treating
of the blockade question.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was informed at the naval depart
ment today that Germany is now construct
ing four battle ships, one large and four
small cruisers. and eight big torpedo boats.
She is also increasing her yards with a
view of building the vessels called for by
the new bill. The capacity of the German
yards will! be doubled. and Emden will have
a big yard.
