THOUGHTS FOR rHR SEASON,

correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
The man that takes no pleasure on
the farm will not make full success in
farming. Some men look only for the
pay that is to be obtained in cash. Let
them go to their cash one year for
rent, food, clothing, wood, lights and
all the incidentals common to the neces.
cities Of family and they will be suF-
prise d at the large bill. Good farming
pays we'll if q man knows how to make
it pay. A man claiming to be farmer
who never studies and and reads up
on farming is surely mistaken.
There is no month in the year that g
good farmer b .s nothing to do. OF all
the months in the year, December and
January are of vast Importance.
bitches thoroughly cleaned, leaving no
rubbish, briars or sprouts, hauling in
any and all rich substances for COM
post and putting in proper FottiDg con-
dition so as to be ready for plant food.
This requires good judgment in the
management so as to retain all the
properties for each and every kind OF
plant growth. Any farmer having
two horses, with his cove, hogs and
other helps, ehould work so as to have
one hundred loads of good N azure, and
if;ne Car Ipush upto two hundred wagon
loads Of manure each year, all the
Oetter.
These are the months for blowing his
land deep. The old weeds and grass
roots are loosened and more easily
turned. All repairs about house and
lots should be completed. Never allow
your work to hurry you, but keep it
we'll in hand. Never undertake too
much, but keep we'll up with it, so it
will not hurry gou, for the farmer who
allows his work to push him needs an
overseer. By doing the winter work
in winter, he may be ready for the
spring work Set apart your work by
months, weeks, and even days. Snow
and rain, wet and dry, all have their
places, and things that may be done
without pleasure. But have good iudg.
ment in the cAre for the health Of your
self and family and all live stock in
your care. r, B. MOORE.

ever other functions may be attributed
TO phosphoric acid, it undoubtedly in
creases prolif1cacy; but this very pro
Efficacy is sometimes an actual draw
back, a disad vantage, for the reason
that the quality of the fruit is go de
cldedly inferior that productiveEess is
actually decreased thereby.
Potash and nitrogen on the other
hand, exert but little inf lence toward
increasing prolificacY, but se m to ex
ert their entire influence in increasing
the siE9 and improving the quality of
the fruit; and this, even at the expense
OF it's proIificacy, and this is more
especially true of potash.
A multiplication OF fruits at the ez
oense OF size and q lslity would possibly
be advantageous 10 the csee of lintless
cotton and possibly of some few other
agricultural PRODUCTS; but with the
generality of farm products, quantity
and quality both take precedence of
excessive fecundity Or proli6cacy it is
sIE9, RpI earance, general superiority
that every body desires, every where; {;
hence it is that excessive fecundity or
xceesive prolIficacg, is relegated to a
back seat, and becomes OF but second
ary impor tsnc~; hence, it Is also that
low grade fertilizers which for the sake
of cheepness are composed almost ex
clusIveIy of phosphaEes, and are in
variaOIy deficient in potash, and often.
times OF nitrogen, produce so little ap.
precIabe bent fit to the crop to which
they are applied, and give so little
satisfaction and prof15 to those who.
from ignorance or q mistaken economy
use them
The ordinary low grade fertili4'r is
made up by mixing l. 100 pounds OF
acid ph sp aee 700 pounds cotton seed
meal and 30 pounds of kainit; this
will analyEs aOouS s:2:3; or per cent.
of phosporic acid, . per cent. Of itro
gen and per cent. of potash.
A far more satisfactory, as we'll as
profitable combin alton for the general
farmer, the horticulturist or truck
grower would be 1 600 pounds of acid
phosphate, $40 pounds of cotton SEED
meal and 400 pounds mu,iate of pot
aeh
The former combination would tend
to increase prol flcacy and by so doing
would at the same time tend to in.
crease productiveuess a little, while
che latter combination would tend
largely toward increasing productive
ness, whether thereby prolIficacy was
increased or not. PhosphorIc acid is
good in it's place, but it cannot be made
TO take the place of either potash or
nitrogen; proIIfcacy is not every thing;
quantity and quality rank ahead of it

TRR GRANGE ON EDUCATION.

At the recent session of the National
Grange, one of the most able reports
from standing & committees was by the
mmittee on education, of which
Dean T. O. Atkeson, of the West ViF-
ginia School of Agriculture, and Mas
ter of the West Virginia State Grange,
was Chairman. While rather lengthy,
the gist of the matter as related direct
lg to education for farmers was as fol.
lows:
No department of human industry
has been more directly affected by
education than agriculture. Among
the most important forces that have
brought this about are the Department
of Agriculture, numerous State boards
o. agriculture and agricultural depart
mentP, farmers institutes, agricultural
ne Espapers, experiment stations, agri-
cultural colleges, and the GraDge. ALI
these institutions have done good work
and have been important factors In
creating the present and growing de-
mand for agricultural education. But
the school of last resort for q vast ma.
j Drity of the future farmers OF this
IuntrY will be the public schooL and
no class OF people is more vitality in.
terested in these primary schools than
farmers. Every boy or girl who ex
poets to make farming q vocation is
entitled to better educational facilities
for the teaching of the elements Of
agriculture in the primary schools OF
the country. Our public echooIs re-
cruit the academy, the college and the
university, and they in turn ft and
prepare for every profession except
farming.
One reason that many farmers turn
away from the agricultural college, ex,
pertinent sta ion and farm paper is that
their lack of training in common
echools has barred them from an I'M
derstanding of the meaning of terms
used in agricultural chemistry, or the
principles of animal huebandry, or the
true principles which underlie the
preservation Of soil fertility. For
years the National Grange has I'm.
dorsed ''natu studies" and CORE.
spondence courses OF instruction; both
systems ara haiptul and the Grange
should continue to advocate them.
The 'land grant" colleges, which
we're originally intended to be indus
trial scho0ls, and nothing more. stand
a monument of the failure to grasp the
Importance of the subject by the So

B 3oAD rIREs IN SAND ROADS
ton crop.


The Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion of Gems IN College South Caro-
llns) presents a report on investiga-
lions into the draft of broad and mar
row tires on sand roads. This report,
writtea by Prof. Q M. Conner, Assist
ant AgriculEurist, who conducted the
experiments, appears in Bulletln 48 Of
the Saaeion. pamphlet of 16 pages
wnich has just been issued from the
presses OF The State Company.
Toe terms Of the report are so con-
else that they will not bear condensa-
tion. We accordingly present the firss
pages without abrldgment. Prof. Con
ner says:
At the request of the Board of Con
troll inform alton relating TO the use of
broad ana narrow tires has bsep COL
lee ed, using such parts of reports from
other States as related to conditions
found in South Carolina. But before
publishing this information it was
Thought Oest TO have soma tests made
on the sand roads Of the lower parE of
the State, as some OF the trials reported
by other stations we're made on j lst
such roads found throughout the yesG
region. II re ths road bed is OF pure
sand with no hard surtaca underneath,
so that a wheel will sink almast in pro
portion to the load.
In On 4kIng the test a set of metallic
wheels of standard heignE and havIng
SIX inch tires was used. Toe narrow
tired wheels we're Of thu same height
with II inca tires. TIE load was the
same IN boJh cases, viz Two thou
ssnd pounds net. Tn dynam meier
used by the Missouri Experlm4nG Sta
tion was borrowed for testing the draft.
The tests we're made on a very sandy
piece of road ab0us one and one half
miles from D 3nmark, 8 O. There was
no clay nearer than two feet of the sur
face, and the loose SAND was worked up
by travel to ths depth OF about eight
inches. There are only two conditions
to De found on a road like this, namely,
vet ana dry. 80 two sets of tests wers
made, one while the road was dry and
one while IL was vet
When the road is CRY the narrow
tired wheel pushes the sand TO either
side and sinks Until il finds a surface
firm enough to bear it uQ. The dry
sand falls back and fills Ghe track, 81
hat each wheel must force the sand
out of IT'S way every TINA it p .ssas
along. The broad tire forces a part of
the sand to eisher SIDE aud rolls over a
part OF it. Th9 sand does no5 fill the
track TO the fame CxFent as that OF Ghe
narrow tire because the wheel does not
sink as deep and the track is much
broader. But even after the broad tire
has been run in the same track for a
number of times, the sand ia pushed
