Washington, DC. 20.-It has been

that even his political enemies
cannot pick flaw in his record.
He now, as an endorsement of
his faithful stewardship, asks an
election to full term at the
hands of his fellow citizens. In
a manner Governor McSweeney
belongs to Abbeville County.
She made man of him in that
Ninety Six put HIM on his finan-
ciai feet. Abbeville must stand
by him In the coming election.
She cannot afford to turn her
back on her adopted son even if
another of her sons is in the race.
Governor McSweeney believes
that the dispensary system that
has been placed on our statute
books should stand. He respects
all mems opinions, but he en-
forces the laws of our State and
not even for the endorse ment of
q second term, will he cringe
either to true prohibitionists or
bow to sham ones.

CHEAP AND GOOD Hay.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
It may be possible to raise both in
ferior and good hay at a profit, but
to do so it is necessary to make a
distinction at the beginning. It GER
tainly will not pay to raise cheap
hay for market. There is always a
superabundance of it in every city,
and it is marked down to such low
prices that little or no profit can be
gained on it. On the other hand
there are places on the farm which
will produce cheap grades of hay for
home use at profit. For instance
there are often fields of land that lie
after the middle of June, and 'odd
corners of the farm where the soil is
rather poor where fair stand of
sheep hay can be raised to advan-
tage. It is better to have this soil
producing something than to let it
remain idle for month or month. If
no crop is sown weeds will inevitably
take possession of it, and they are
far worse than nothing.
One can SOW grass seed on such
odd fields in the land to produce
rough sort of fodder to take the place
of the more expensive and salable
hay or grass. OF course fine clover
or timothy seed would not do for
planting there, but Hungarian, Orch
ard, and similar grasses would pro
duce good results A mixture of
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1900-06-12

several of the rough and tough cheap
grass seeds would give better results
than any single variety Sow this
cheap grass seed as early as possible,
and let it reach a good stand before
cutting it for hay or feeding for sum-
mer fodder. The Hungarian grass
in particular is hardy grower after
it gets a good root in the soil, and it
will grow through hot and dry
weather. Fed alone to horses or cat
tie it may prove too powerful diu-
rhetic, both in fattening and in keep
ing the bowels open. This cheap
fodder or rough hay is not intended
to make the sole food of the animals,
but merely to supplement other foods
to save the better hay for market
purposes.
OF course when you come to rails
ing hay for market there is nothing to
take the place of your timothy and
clover. Fine timothy will always
command the best prices because
livery and private stablemen prefer
it to all other grades. Fine bright
timothy hay will command from
fifty cents to dollar or two a ton
more than any other hay, and it is
useless to try to make marketmen
believe anything else is just as good.
Timothy has the reputation, and we
must abide by the results and recog-
nize it if we hope to get the top
prices. But unless the land is adapted
to the production of big stand of
timothy, it will often pay better to
raise other fine grass even though
they command a little less per ton.
The difference is made up in the
heavier yield. S. w. CHAMBERS.

sUmAC AS A MARKET CROP.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The tanners of the United States
use annually about $4,000 tons of
dried sumac leaves in the process of
transforming skins into leather. Of
this amount about 5000 tons are i'm
ported, chiefly from Sicily. The
Italian sumac is produced by a species
which is cultivated for market.
The American sumac is entirely
the product Of wild plants OF these
there are three species-RhatS gLa6ra
or white sumac r. copoIziaa or
black sumac and r. tyot6a1a, or stag
horn sumac. There are in addition
two species, both very poisonous,
which are not used in tanning. These
are r. toGicodendr0g1-P Poison Ivey
and R. Ue91en0tG-Poiso Elder. All
the sumacs are common on light dry
SOILS from Nova Scotia to Florida
and from the Atlantic to the Ale
ghanies.
Being a growth of waste lands
which is gathered chiefly by women
and children, the crop pays we'll, be
ing nearly clear profit. Petersburg,
Va, is the chief market for the
sumac gathered in North Carolina.
It is there cleaned and ground into
powder in which, form it is sacked
and compressed into bales before
shipping to tanneries. The price
paid to the gatherers varies from
year to year. 1t depends much on
the quality of the leaf The most
common price is 80 cents to 81 per
100 pounds of clean leaf. The usual
custom is for the grinders to supply
sacks for packing the dried leaves.
On it's arrival the sacks are opened
and their contents graded and paid
for according to quality or grade.
Freight is paid by the grinder, but
the amount is deducted from the
price of the leaves.
The sumac grinder, after clean
ing, grinding and baling the leaves,
sells the product to the tanners for
from $50 to SIS per ton The i'm
ported italian sumac in the same
condition and market sells for from
$65 to 800 per ton.
The white sumac, Rbus gJdbrG is
preferred by tanners. tt brings a
higher price than other species when
shipped unmixed. But all three
sumacs are taken and usually they
are mixed by the gatherers. The
three species of useful sumacs are
very easily distinguished from each
other and from the poisonous species.
-Rhus typhina- -Staghorn sumac-
is our most common species. 1t is
found only on dry gravelly or stony
hillsides. It grows from 8 to 16 feet
high. The leaves are composed of
1S to 25 leaflets, dark green above
and light green below. The branches
and young leaflets are densely COW

himself. Throwing away money.
CUT THE ENTIRE STALK.

CUT THE ENTIRE STALK
But many will say we must have
roughage ior our stock, what shall
we do about it? Well, you cannot
only stop losing, but you save money
and at the same time have more
rough food. How can we do that?
Simply cut down the whole stalk.
Do this about ten days later than
you would pull the fodder and you
will save all the fodder and have
full weight corn and have a great
deal more to feed with. The stalk
and the shuck and the sheath of the
fodder blades that you do not get,
are all just as good as the fodder.
Cut the whole stalk and shock it so
that it will stand firm until it dries
thoroughly This will take from
four to six weeks. Then you can
haul it to the barn and stack or
shred it.
THE SHREDDER.
The shredder is a machine that
tears the stalk to pieces and mixes it
with the blades and shucks so as to
make an excellent hay. Experiments
have proved that this whole stalk
hay is an excellent food All stock
eat it freely and thrive upon it.
The part of the corn stalk below
the ear is richer in food value than
the top. The hard casing of silex,
which gives strenth to the stalk, is
very unpleasant to stock. It is often
so sharp as to cut the gums. The
shredder destroys this, and the cat
tie eat it freely in this ground con
dition. The shredder, will at the
same time, take off the ear, either
shucked or slip-shucked. If desired
it will shell and sack the corn.
Nothing is lost, the entire stalk is
made into food. Thus you have
more than double the roughage. The
stalk is worth about the same as the
ear crop. Why then should it be
Elc ,32
Again, pea vines, oat straw, wheat
straw, and any other hay material
may be run through the shredder
with the corn stalks or separate.
This is a great item of saving to
many farmers. Oat and wheat straw
are about as good as fodder for stock.
But when fed whole or partly cut
there is a very large waste. Run
through the shredder all is saved.
HOW SHALL WE GET THE SHREDDER?
Very many would like to use the
shredder, but as they are shall farm
ers, they are not able. What shall
they do? One shredder can shred
many crops. Several can combine
and buy one. Or one man can shred
for community, for toll or cash.
While it is important to let the
corn get thoroughly dry before
shredding, when it is dry you can
wait any length of time before shred
ding.
We cannot say in one article all
that needs to be said about this great
improvement in saving the corn stalk
crop.
Do not pull any more fodder. It
is a costly and losing business.
