FARMER NDPLANTER.
FARMERS INSTITUTES.
rns Value Of Farmers' Institutes Depend
Upon the Manner In which the
Farmers Take Hold of Them.

The value of farmers institutes
varies with the manner in which they
are conducted. The fundamental con-
ception is that meetings of farmers
are to be held in various localities in .
state, and men skilled in the sciences
related the agriculture and in their
practical application are invited to
meet the farmers and discuss with
them those matters of special inter-
est In their respective localities.
These scientific men are usually par
ties connected with the agricultural
colleges, experiment stations and
agricultural departments of the
states. Others, of course, may be in
vited. The expenses of such men are
to be paid by the state, and in case of
invited experts from outside the state
some additional remuneration may
have to be given. To make an insti-
tute really successful the farmers
themselves must take hold of it in
earnest and come prepared not to ac-
cept blindly all the teachings of the
scientists, but to question them close
ty, especially in regard to the applica-
ton Of the principles taught. For a
principle luay be entirely sound and
she mode in which it is applied be
very faulty. The practical expert
ence of the farmer must keep the
scientist from pushing his principles
too far or attempting their applica-
ton in cases in which they are not
practically applicable. The real good to
be derived from such meetings is as
much dependent upon the farmers
themselves as upon those who are in
vited to meet them. The awakening
of thought and the directing it into
new channels may lead to very valua-
BILE results. The farmers are especial
ly favored by the willingness of states
to appropriate money to defray the
expenses OF such institutes. No other
class of citizens have such favor
shown them. Whilst the funds appro-
priated may be from tax on fertiliz-
ers, which the farmers are supposed
to pay, no part of professional taxes,
or taxes ON merehantile goods or any
other tax, is ever set apart for the
special benefit of the parties who pay
them. But the favor is probably prop
erly bestowed, because farmers have
little invisible property and proper
tionately ray more taxes than any
other class of citizens.-Dixie Farmer.

AN ADMIRER OF WOMEN.


I was riding along the road leading

range, thinking Of the peculiar people who
lived In these Businesses, when / was

to me to come up. and give somebody lift.

whoever it was was in trouble, and re-
sponded and found man Of 90 or more
caught by the foot under fallen tree and
unable to get away. He wasn't hurt, end
l soon had him on his feet, and he insisted
on my stopping further down the mountain
and taking dinner with him. He lived in a
well-kept cabin with his daughter, and
after dinner we sat in the shade of tree
in the yard and he told me about himself

The next most important work on
the farm is to wind up the cotton crop.
1t is difficult to get cotton picked in
cold weather, and considering the low
price of cotton and the poor quality of
that remaining in the fields it is per-
haps the best policy to have the pick
ing done on shares, if it is considered
profitable to have it picked at all.
Whilst there is little or no profit in
cotton at prevailing prices, after a
crop is made one must try to get
enough out of it to repay the expense
of making it, and must calculate very
carefully what it will pay to do and
what it will not. When profits are very
small the share system works well;
though as general farm practice it is
very Objectionable. AS rule, one can
not afford to enter into partnership
with his laborers, especially such la
borers as are found in the cotton
states.-Dixie Farmer.

ATTRACTIVE FARMING.
Intelligent Study of Improved Methods and
Enthusiastic Application Will Mako
Farming Attractive.

1t seems to me this question may be
answered by the one word, 'enthu-
siasm." If we do not throw our whole
hearts into any business and believe
it will pay, we win not succeed. This
enthusiasm will make us study how to
succeed. BY study we learn to avoid
errors, to take advantage of the expert
ence of those who have preceded us in
our line of business. New methods
will insure better results. For in
stance, with us, at the Richard Peters
farm, in Gordon county, constant
dry, hot summers had ruined our clo-
yer fields. 1t was absolutely neces-
sary to raise forage. A friend told us
of the success attained in this respect
by Col. Smith, of Smithsonia, Ga. A
letter from him gave directions for
planting sorghum and peas together.
When the harvest time came an enor-
nous crop was to be. gathered. How
could it be stacked and cured success
fully? A paper read at the meeting of
the State Agricultural society de-
scribed an engenious stacker, which
we duplicated at once, and nov the
barns are filled with the finest kind Of
well-cured bea vines and sorghum. fod-
der.
Every farmer should raise his own
hams and bacon. With sirup, meat,
-four, meal. to pay on the wages of
your farm hands, it is very easy to see
which is half the battle. Now that
the stock, the family and your hands
are fed, money is certainly to be made
from the sale of your extra wheat,
oats, Essex pigs and Jersey calves.
The wear and tear on farm is con-
siderable, but by constant attention
to repairing gates, fences and houses,
big bills may be avoided and your
place advertise your methods of
business by its neat, clean, well-kept
appearance.
Encourage your wife and daughters
to plant flowers and shrubs about the
house; build summer houses and at
tractive seats near your springs and
branches, and as you will make money
your family will enjoy it with you.
We believe if some such plan as this
could be adopted all over Georgia we
would have the grandest farms and
the richest state in the Uuion, because
after all. the farmer regulates the
pulse-beat of the great throbbing
city's life and the states prosperity

HERE AND THERE.

NO dog should be permitted to in
terview a mich COW. The one hereto
fore used as labor-saver in driving
up the cows in the. evening should be
totally abolished. SS1iksf-s-
Until pigs are six or eight months
old there should be no other thought
in the raising of them than how to
make them grow. Any surplus fat at
this time is in the way.
Those who want a good crop of
lambs in the spring must have their
ewes in good condition for and during
the winter. A handful of grain and
one of cotton seed to each one daily in
bad weather will tell on the crop.
When prices rule high there may
be some margin in growing almost
any sort of an animal, but when the
opposite is the case, and poor stock
goes for song, one sees the advan-
tage in having something good to sell.
The plan for raising ones own
cattle on the farm where they are to
be fed for shipment is in keeping with
the crop rotation system which is
bound to assert itself on every farm.
This rotation is to become largely one
of grains and grasses.
If you keep dates of breeding
you will give better attention to the
animal. If you have only grades, but
are grading up, the pedigree becomes
important with every cross. This is
one of the little, easy things too often
neglected.
--Croaking hay zach to do with the
hard times. The majority of farmers
and laboring men of this country live
like princes, compared with their
brethren across the oceans hey waste
every day that for which sfe6, women
and children labor in the fe5ds to save
in many lands. sss
This is tie season of the year
when farmers and stockmen are look
ing for some thing to consume their
,.orn and hay during the winter
months. There is a desire also to
s'weed OUT the. common and inferior
stock, which many think viii not pay
to hold.
The Mexican cotton boil weevil il
only one of the many insect pests
which are forcing the American farm
er to adopt better agricultural meth
DDS, which, if generally practiced,
would result not only in their control,
but cause less drain upon the soil

better crops as result OF more often
and thorou9h cultivation.

Water for the DAIRY Cow.

An abundant supply of water, easily
obtained whenever the cow wants it,
is necessary to the highest milk pro-
duction. About 81 per cent. of milk is
water, and if the cows supply of water
is limited the milk yield is proportions
ately reduced. 1t pays to furnish
pure, palata bic water, summer and
winter, SO that the COW will drink
large quantities, as, within reasona-
Bile limits, an increase in water con-
sumption brings an increase in the
milk yield. Some dairymen are
obliged to water their cows in sum-
mer from artificial ponds. When this
is the case. the ponds should be
fenced and the water drawn of into
q trough by a pipe controlled by Q
float valve, SO that the trough will al
ways be full of clean water. When
cows are allowed to stand sn pond
the water becomes indcscribably
filthy and the cows will not drink
snough to maintain : full milk yield.
