1t PAYS in some places &c raise the
cane, for the stalks sell for 2% cents
apiece at many of the towns through
the country. 1t should be one of the
main crops, as the sirup is always in
deuand at a good price. AS to yield
ing, it hardly ever fails and you do
not have your strip to buy. 1t is one
of the staple articles for sale ut the
stores. At this time, which is the time
when it is ripe, you will see it for
sale at the store at five cents II stalk,
for II is nice to eat. The cane takes
the place of candy, and is much better
fcvor. Many prefer it to candy and
other sweets. This will pay farmer,
if he is where there are not so many

cut much more than the sorghum,
and is much nicer. Plant early in the
spring by laying the canes down in the
burrows, that are 3H feet apart; cover
with the pillow or hoe, whichever you
please. Keep it clean with the plow,
and hoe when it comes Ip. Work it
until you can not pillow It, as it is too
large; but keep the weeds ard grass
from taking it, as it is, when II FIRST
comes up, II very tender plant, and
will not bear much dirt, but pillow just
as close as you can TO it, so as to use
the hoe some to keep it clean. Get an

SHEEP HUSBANDRY.
Some Important Factors In Promote
ing Success in sheep

The water supply is one of the most
important things to think of just now.
See that the water is pure and that
the sheep get sufficient of it.
Even when the sheep are free from
the disease, it is necessary TO keep n
close watch, lest, in some possible way,
the infection may be brought into the
flock Scab is something to be
stamped out by determined and pre-
serving efforts.
The summer is time when the
flock has an apparent rest from dis
ease. But at the same time all the ills
to which the sheep are subject. Now
is the best time of the year to prevent
future troubles.
Some of the sheep pasturing on
stony ground may be going on their
knees, having the feet sore. Look to
these sheep without delay. Pare the
hoofs, especially under the sole, and
keep the spaces between the toes
clean. The toes may need shortening
too.
There are men who half starve their
poorly-bred and nastily-kept sheep;
who market their wool mixed with
tags, sweepings and manure, stuck up
with tar and insoluble paints and
bound with any sort of Irvine procura-
BILE, who are kicking about the made
quacy Of the tariff. What such men
most need is protection against them
selves.
Keep sheep clean behind or there
may be serious risk of fy-blow. This
is difficult thing to cure but easy to
prevent, Fly-blown sheep should be
cared for in a dark stable or barn.
Wash them thoroughly and pick out
every grub with small forceps. 1t is
almost impossible to apply anything
that will kill the grubs, once they have
got hold of the sheep.
II is time this month to separate the
lambs from the ewes, but the little
things must be well cared for. A
sweet, short clover or grass pasture is
best for them. and a mixture of corn
meal, oats and bran, or where it can
be procured easily, cotton seed meal,
will push them along so they will not
miss the little milk. This stoppage Of
the drain on the ewes, however. will
tend very much to help the next
spring lambs.-American Sheep

FARMER AND PLANTER.
GROWING VS., BUYING SEED.
The South the Bonanza Seed Market
of the COuntry-Where the
Blame Lies.

The south is the bonanza seed mar
ket of this country. We buy all kinds
of seed. We buy very many very hurt
full and pestiferrous seeds
We are the dumping-ground for all
the old, refuse, rejected, unstable
seed. We have paid so little attention
to this business that we are no judges
of seeds. Many of us do not know
good seed from sorry. Nor do we
know that we can often grow better
seed than we buy. Nay, we have been
taught to believe that if a seed grows
here it is not as good as if it grew in
some other cline. Our ignorance along
this line, and our belief of things that
are false, costs us annually millions of
dollars. We buy seed at high prices,
when we could have grown MS good
and often better at n very small cost.
We are not bringing any railing ac-
cusation against any man or set of
men. The seed dealers are as honest
as other men. But there arc tricks
and thricksters in all trades. We must
look to our interests. We are simply
stating facts that have fallen under
our observation. We have sold seed,
we have bought seed, we have grown
cur own seed. We know what we are
talking about.
We buy turnip seed. cucumbers.
beets, radishes, and so on through the
list of garden seed. These seed will
mature here just as well as anywhere.
We pay hundreds of thousands of
dollars for eastern Irish potatoes every
year. This is worse than useless. The
potatoes grown here are better. This
is emphatically true of our second
crop. We have tried this for 20 years
with gratifying success.
But very many of MS go further than
this; we actually Guy our heavy farm
seed. We buy barley, rye, wheat, oats,
grass, corn and cotton seed And yet
we call ourselves farmers.
If il were possible TO restore to the
south the money paid for seeds since
the war, we would be the richest see
ton of this country. Why, If any
schemer offers MS corn that will grow
so far away that it will only produce
"Lincoln corn" or cottonseed from
Africa even, called lmbless, and from
Egypt, called lintless, or from India,
and called bolless, we just buy right
along.
Farmers, grow your own seed, and
select them with care. Many men
have grown rich by doing this. Many
of the finest varieties of various spe-
cies have been developed here in the
south
Young man, are you hunting prof
liable position? Then let me say get a
farm, and make il seed farm.
There. is money, pleasure and indie
pendence along this line.-Southern

HERE AND THERE.

When fowls are confined they nee,
meat occasionally; when they run at
large they get bugs and worms.
In dry weather our country roads
on clay soils don't need work. In wet
weather they can't be worked. Hence
our roads are as they are.
The flag and grass growing on
some $500 acres of marsh land near
Savannah, Ga, is to be utilized in the

lease Of the land.
1.-The borrower is servant to the
lender" Farmers being the original
producers, should never be in debt.
There is no excuse for the annual time.
business done by farmers. 1t is ali
due to bad management.
Trying TO do a larger business
than we are able brings all kinds OF
trouble. There is more money and
more pleasure in running two-horsc
farm for cash as you go, than a four
or six-horse farm on time.
Hens can be made to do greater
service as egg producers by being
given the privilege of hunting and
scratching than by any other mode;
with proper exercise there is little dan
ger of the hens getting over-fat.
The "Biltmore" farms are doing
much for southern development. They
are showing the superiority OF high
bred cattle, hogs and sheep in prac-
teal way. These farms are so man
aged as to bring profit in every de-
partment.
Expert estimates of the American
cotton crop run from 100000 to 12,-
100000 bales. according TO the designs
OF the experts upon the crop. An ex-
pert arithmetician can estimate crops
any way to suit his designs, regardless
of conditions.
One trouble with far too many
who start in the business of poultry
raising is that they expect to open up
on the level with those who have been
in the business for years, overlooking
the fact that the lesson is first the
seed, then the blade, and after that the
fruit. .a...
