A HINT Q SPRING.
When Housekeepers Are Frightening. the
Interiors of Their Homes.

1nterIOrS OF Ihe1r 11Omes.
Now that the backbone Of this re-
markable winter is broken, housekeep-
ers are remarking the dingy look of
the home interior. The question Of
new wall coverings is up. Paper is
dear and short lived; kalsomines are
dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The
use of such a cement as Alabastine,
for instance, will solve the problem.
This admirable wall coating is clean,
pure and wholesome. 1t can be put
on with no trouble by anyone; there
is choice of many beautiful tints; and
it is long lasting.

THE FARMERS CREED.

Something over three years ago
the following well-written Farmers 8
Creed" appeared in The Progressive
Farmer. It was written by Prof.
BENZ. Irby. tits worthy of re-pub-
ication:
We believe in small we'll titled
farms that the soil must be fed as
we'll as the owner, so that the crops
shall make the farm and the farmer
richer.
We believe in thorough drainage,
in deep plowing, and in labor-saving
implements.
We believe in good fences, barns
conveniently arranged, good orchards
and gardens, and plenty of home
raised hog and hominy.
We believe in raising purebred
stock; or in grading up the best to
be gotten until they equal the thor
oughbreds.
We believe in growing the best
varieties of farm crops, and saving
the choicest for seed.
We believe in ferti1izing the brain
with phosphorus as well as applying
it to the soil.
We believe in the proper care and
application of the barnyard manure.
We believe that the best fertilizers
are of little value, unless accompa-
MED by industry, enterprise and in
telligence.
We believe in rotation, diversified
ton and thorough cultivation of
crops.
We believe that every farm should
own a good farmer, and that every
good farmer will eventually own a
good farm.

sEAsoNABLE NOTES FROM MY FARM
CROPS AND VEGETABLES.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
AS truckers or gardeners, and
farmers, too, we are wasteful peo-
pie!
The hasty rainfalls carry off the
soil to the swamps, creeks and rivers.
We let it go for want of a small
amount of proper preparation, most
of which could be done by horse
power. We do not want land cut up
in small narrow bitches. Make valleys
with large plows so as to have no
missing rows these valleys may be
so arranged as to let the water pass
slowly.
The next waste is in gathering
and saving our manures. Here is the
big secret. Many articles have been
written about manures. 1t takes
good practical and common sense to
save labor or manure. When ma
nure is ready, put it at once to its
work in its proper place for vege-
tables. My time for putting out ma
nure is in late fall or early winter.
Put,it on land if it is rough in wide
beds and then throw up to higher
beds so as not to wash. By spring
it is thoroughly decomposed and the
land is in fine condition for early
vegetables. There is waste, perhaps,
but you get fine vegetables to pay
for waste. The waste of labor and
manure to keep it over to spring is
greater By this plan vegetables do
not burn in dry weather so badly.
Keep land as much from pudding in
winter as can be and throw in as
great freezes as possible.
The early bunch Lima or butter
bean should be grown extensively,
both for summer and winter use, and
also for market. Children can gather
and shell them; it is light work.

THE NAMING OF FARMS.

Walter Williams, one of the liter
ary editors of the Globe Democrat
and editor of that model country
weekly newspaper, the Columbia
(Mo.) Herald, comments as follows
upon the above subject:
Zone of our exchanges rightly
urges the naming of farm homes. It
adds to the standing of the farm,
makes people better acquainted with
1T and increases the owner pride in
keeping it up. A name chosen be-
cause of location, environment or for
other reason may be selected. There's
something in the special name, but
any name is better than none at all.
"We should like to print the names
OF all the farms in Boone county. 1t
would be an interesting and sugges-
tive list. Walnut Hill, The Elms,
Eminence, Sunny Crest, Clover Leaf,
Gray Gables, The White House
how much more appropriate these
names sound than simply the farm
of John Jones Or Tom Thomas. If
then the farmer placed over his front
gate or in other conspicuous place
the name of his farm so that passers-
by might read there would be added
attractions to the country road and
higher opinion of the owner of the
land,

CORN HARVESTER AND SHREDDER.

The Progressive Farmer has been
discussing the question of shredding
corn for some time. Considerable
interest in the subject has been
shown. In this connection, the fol
lowing item from the Burke County
News may prove interesting:
Mr.. J. II. McNeely has just re-
ceived a corn harvester and shredder,
the first machine of the kind ever
brought to the county. Besides har
vesting the corn, it husks it and
sacks it, placing the shattered corn,
cleaned, in a separate sack, and
shreds the husks and fodder, which,
it is said, makes excellent feed, stock
preferring it to the best hay. It is
claimed that there is also great
saving by the use of this machine.
Mr.. McNeely bought the machine
principally for his own use, on his
farm on Johns river, but he will
probably also operate it on neighbor-
ing farms where his neighbors de-
sire it.

FARMING AND FRUIT GROWING IN
MOORE.

People in Chatham and other coun-
ties adjoining Moore will bear out
the Sanford Express in the assertion
that it used to be thought "that the
Southern Pines section wouldn't t
sprout peas and that razor backed
hog had hard time making living
there But the falsity of such ideas
was long ago demonstrated. Now
the Superintendent of the Van Lind
lev Orchard Company of Southern
Pines inf orms the Express that since
the opening of the season they have
shipped six thousand crates of
peaches to the Northern markets.
Besides this they have marketed six
hundred bushels of blackberries as
well as large quantities of grapes
and plums. They recently pulled a
watermelon which weighed rs
pounds.
The Company grows feed for all
their stock and surplus to sell.
This year they planted rs bushels of
COW peas, as well as a good many
acres in corn. They have so acres in
peach trees that will commence bear
ing next year.

Guilford Co., N. G.

We grow a great many winter oats
here, and find best results from early
seeding. We SOW in September, the
earlier in the month the better. If
the Hessian fly is not present, some
times we SOW the last of August but
the danger from the fly is greater
then. We do not like to have the
eggs of this pest deposited on the
young oats, as they do much damage
the following spring, unless we have
a cold winter to destroy the eggs.
We prefer a pea stubble in our sec
ton, but have had good success after
corn, when the corn came off early
enough. In either case, the land
should be put in the best mechanical
condition possible, and never SOW
when land is too wet. The oats should
be plowed under to the depth of four
inches, then narrowed and rolled.
There is not much danger of winter
killing when covered this depth, in
this latitude. The white winter oats
will stand much more freezing than
will the black or red.-T. j. Wat
kins, Anson Co., N. G.

USING THE LAND.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer
Well-fed land is never so we'll off
as when kept in active operation. It
is much like strong, healthy man.
It suffers more from idleness than
from hard work First see to it that
the soil gets plenty to eat-rich barn
yard and chemical fertilizers, green
manuring and similar food-and
then work it and use it. The more
it is cultivated and planted the bet
ter will it be able to produce crops.
Feed land with heavy fertilizers and
only half work it and it grows sour
and the plant food cannot be taken
up by the plants. 1t is just as bad
for the land as it is to feed boy
with rich, nourishing food and then
let him lie around idle and do moth
ing. We take food into our systems
to make strength, which in turn
must be exerted in order to produce
the necessary good results.
There is no danger of overworking
land provided is fed literally. The
abandoned and run down farms that
we read so much about owe their
condition to poor management. The
trouble has not been in the soil, but
in the farmers, who have generation
after generation robbed the land.
They did not understand how to
manage it. Some farmers have an
idea that robbing the soil means
raising too many and large crops Oh
it. Not bit of it. Robbing the soil
is simply taking from it and never
putting anything back. Now on
good soil you can raise two or three
crops year, and if properly handled
it will not be robbed of it's fertility.
On the contrary its power of produc-
ton will even be increased. It is all
in knowing how.
The knowing how is simple too, It
is merely matter of feeding and
cultivating. Put back the barnyard
manure, rotate the crops, cultivate
thoroughly, and the secret Of success
is yours. Tho more we use our land
the more productive it becomes, be-
cause by constant stirring and Guilt
waiting we improve the mechanical
conditions of the soil so that it is
better fitted to furnish the right
conditions for seeds and growing
plants. The more the soil is Guilt
waited the easier it is for the moisture
to penetrate it, and the underground
springs prove a source of perennial
moisture for the plants when the air
around is dry and parching. At the
same time the fertilizirg elements of
the subsoil are reached by plant
roots which are enabled TO penetrate
far down below the surface. Finally
nearly all of our fertilizers that we
apply to the soil need stirring up oc-
casionally to do their best good.
They need to be brought into more
direct contact with the atmosphere,
sun and rains to make them imme
diately available as plant food,

Crab grass and weeds should not
be allowed to grow on garden land in
fall after the early vegetables are
taken off. Sow cow peas either
broadcast or in drills.
The cook is much pleased when
she can have something to boil every
day in the year. More vegeta bles
and less fat hog meat.
My June-sowed beets are quite a
success. On the same land where
winter cabbage were grown and sold,
now am selling beets at 10 cents per
dozen or 20 cents per peck. 1t has
been said there is no man so far from
market as he that has nothing to
sell. There is often great waste in
gathering and handling of tender
vegetables, especially for market.
Let there be. no waste by neglecting
time and place. Kindly,
