Please answer the following ques-
tions in your valuable paper for the
benefit of some Of your readers:
1. When is the best time to cas-
trate a boar? Has the moon or
''signs'' in the almanac anything to
do with it?
2. How are we to know when a
stock boar should be converted into
meat and commence using a younger
one?
3. Is it proper for a SOW to breed
second day after farrowing?
w. A. F.
Wake Co., N. G..
ANSWERS by Corresponding Editor Emeryl
1. When the weather is not hot
and flies abundant, since if flies were
to make an attack, the altered pigs
life might be endangered It is also
best to do this during dry or pleas
ant weather. The writer once saw
book containing details Of 400 popu-
lar superstitions concerning the
moon. One of 1.-THE 400" mav have
related to castration.
2. When you find the herd becom-
ing too deeply inbred to suit you, or
you can replace an old boar with a
better young one. We would not
advise changing the head of a herd
as long as he con tinued vigorous and
his pigs were satisfactory, but if
there were signs of weakness or lackof
vigor, or pigs were irregular in size
and not uniform in quality, a
younger, more vigorous sire should
be tried that would have strength
enough to be prepotent over the
dams and stamp his own vigorous
likeness on his offspring.
3, If you wish to push a SOW to
breed often, she will take the male
from the second to the fourth day
It should be done only with vigorous,
full grown sows, and these should be
we'll fed in order to nOurish both the
present and future litters. Failure
to feed thus should not be over
looked and the boar condemned be-
cause the pigs are not nice.

GROWING CATTLE IN THE SOUTH.

Address of Prof. J, B. Hunnicutt, of Georgia,
Before the State Agricultural Society in
Session at Dublin, Ga.
It is time Southern farmers should
look to the blood of cattle they are
feeding.
The needs of the Southern farmer
are quite numerous and varied. We
shall confine ourselves for the pres
ent to the consideration of one of
these, and how it shall be supplied.
Why are the Southern farmer s
wants peculiar? Because of the mis-
takes of his father and the errors Of
his education. Blessed by Provi-
dence with a genial CLINE and a gen
erOus soil his lot should be a pleas
ant one. But he was blessed by
Providence also with a monopoly of
one Of the greatest crops Of the
world. He could grow better cotton
than anyone else. The world needed
his cotton. So he devoted himself to
it's growth. But he failed to study
it's sale. He left it to others to fix
the price. He made the further
mistake of selling his cotton in it's
crudest shape, and thus getting the
least money for it.
He failed to recognize that the
world wanted his cotton, not in lint,
but in thread and cloth. HeuCe,
selling in the cheapest form he real
lied a small amount Of money, and
all of that came at one period of the
year. His income was annual his
expenses were constant; he sold cot
ton but once a year his table had to
be set three times per day, 365 days
in the year his clothes did not wait
until October to wear out his fam
iIv did not wait till October to get
sick: his children could not wait for
October to go to school, and books
must be had.
So his thousand and one wants
kept coming all the while; day by
day. the clamor fell; but his cotton
ripened but once a year. So he was
in trouble three-fourths of his time.
His money income was spasmOdic ;
his want-fow was continuous. So
we concluded that one of the press
ing needs of Southern farmers is
A CONTINUOUS MONEY-FLOW,
An income that comes in all along

NOTES FROM JACKSON.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Our farmers are now busy gather
ing corn, sowing wheat and making
up sorghum, and our women folk
are looking after household matters.
Some are still drying apples, a vast
amount of which have been dried
among Us this season. There has
not been any frost here yet, which
Is unusual for this season.
L wish to say that I get The Pro
gressive Farmer every week, and in
my judgment it is one of the best
papers, taking everything into con
sideration, that is published on the
American continent, and 1 hope
that in the near future larger per
cent. of our people will see the pro
prlety of taking and reading it.

were not on the ground. The vast

seem to wilt. That on the tree is
fuller of fruit. Some were planted
on poor land. Of course they were
much like the land-poOr, but much
better than was expected. After
these tests l am inclined to plant
more another year. Stock men
should give them a thorough trial.

There is one economy that every,
even moderately, welI-to-do farmer
can practice that would certainly be
highly appreciated if ever once tried.
That is buying coal oil by the barrel.
This will necessitate in the first in
stance the buying of metal tank to
hold a barrel, from forty to fifty
gallons. 1t will probably cost about
So but in a very short time the saw
ing on the cost of the oil, which will
be about three cents a gallon, will
pay for it. The saving on the price
of the oil is not the only desirable
thing to be gained by adopting this
method. Sending for oil in small
quantities is Il thing that has to be
done pretty often; handling the can
is rather disagreeablep performance,
and then it is often inconvenient to
send for it. If by any reason it is
neglected, then there must be dark
ness in the house. Try the whole
sale plan.-Journal of Agriculture.

The Louisiana Fair,
New ORLEANS, APRIL IA TO MAY
6. 1900.

The management of the Louis
lana Fair having had one years
previous experience in operating
a very successful and creditable
Fair asserts with confidence that
the fair of 1900 will prove much
more attractive to the visitors
than that of last year.
Every day will be replete with
first class attractions in addition
to the exhibits proper,a and every
visitor will find attractive features
to interest and instruct.
There will be races on several
days and the entries are such as
to insure interesting contests.
The Flower Parade and the
Grand Parade of Horse Show
entries will occur on April oath.
The Horse Show will continue
every day until and including
Saturday the 10th and will COM
pare favorably with the famous
society events of New York, Chi
cago, Boston, etc, where the
Horse Show is the event of the
year.
On other dates to be announced
hereafter will occur many special
ly interesting features.
The Queen & Crescent Route

trip, excursion tickets and return
on the 18th and 14th of April and
on Thursday of each week during
the Fair, and will also sellon dates
which will enable patrons to visit
the Fair on the most attractive
special occasions.
These tickets will be good for
return passage five days from
date of sale, thus giving all chance
to enjoy visit to New Orleans
at the most delightful time of the
year when the city is at its best
in every way and to thoroughly
enjoy the Fair which every one
should visit.
The entrance fee living been
fixed at twenty-five cents, no one
visiting New Orleans during the
period that it is running can af-
ford to fail to avail himself of the
opportunity to see the latest and
best examples of goods in the line
of business to say nothing of the
enjoyment to be obtained by such
a visit.
