me through the columns of The Consti-
tuition how to train her to be MIXED with

Answer-There IS no secret I'm the mat

except TO commence milking her without
the calf. after the latter has sucked two
or three times, or one day. 1t would help
matters to commence handling the COW 5
udder and keep it up every day until the
calf is dropped, so that she will become
accustomed TO the operation. After a few
hours. or not exceeding j. day, remove S..,
the calf from her sight ana never let ner
see it any more. Feed the calf on us

FARM CORRESPONDENCE.
A Proposition to Merchants and
Farmers.

w F. Goodson. Vance. Ala.-Let bank
ers. merchants and all others Interested
understand each other and mutually
agree to hold cotton until the nrSt or
January or March, as they used to do.
Let every one plant from one-tnlru TO
one-fourth less acreage, cultivate better,
save all his manure and protect II from
the weather, gather leaves and straw ana
keep stalls and lots well Uttered. quit
buying commercial fertilizers; spend your
time at home building up and improving
your farms. plant orchards and make
abundance for man and beast, I'VE ht
home and board at the same place, at
tend strictly your church meetings, pay
your pastor and aid literally the cause
OF missions: keep out OF debt as much
as possible. This is written by man
seventy-five years old.
Comment-To all and every one OF the
above suggestions. except the advice TO
quit buying commercial fertilizers" this
editor says amen! II every farmer should
accept that suggestion and quit using
commercial fertilizers" the effect would
doubtless be n considerable reduction IN
the amount of the cotton crop and an in
crease in the market price. But II VIII
also result I'm an increased cost OF max
ing the crop. But everybody knows that
every farmer is not going to quit using
commercial fertilizers" On the contrary,
very few, If any, will quit. But all the
other suggestions written by our friend
are good and will be productive of sub
stantial benefit 10 the farmer or farmers
who adopt them. whether any others
adopt them or not. Even the suggestion
to reduce acreage Will be good for the In
dividual farmer because he can select
better land than his usual acreage. con-
centrate his fertilizers on the smaller
area, and thus produce smaller number
OF bales at a much smaller cost.

cotton seed is worth for fertilixing pur-
poses about IS. The charred seed have lost
practically all of their nitrogen. but none
OF their phosphoric acid and potash.
2. 1t is impossible to say with any exact
ness how much acid phosphate and muri-
ate of potash should be put with each ton
of stable manure unless 1t were known
how much litter dirt and water are in the
manure. L would say 200 pounds OF acid
and fifteen pounds of muriate to every
ton or two of the stable manure. One ton
OF the very best stable manure will
