Last June, we purchased half ton
Of tobacco stems cut into pieces about
two inches long, from.New York, at $17
per ton. A portion Of this we spread
upon a rose bed of about one-twentisth
of an acre. The soil had previously been
thoroug hIy boed and raked. 1t was
strewn to the depth of two inches. As
the early season wss very wet, this
mulch was not at ell reeded, but later
on the weather w6s exceedingly dry.

for testing its eff sacg as a mulca. We

A PAYING EXPERIMENT.

Every farmer, poor or rich, can aud
phould make the folio wing experiment.
Select at least one acre and break it at
least fifteen inches and pulverize as
fine as possible with the best tools you
have. Then plant any crop you please
on this acre. Or if it suits you better,
plant several crops upon it. Keep a
careful account Of the expenses and
the income, and carefully compare the
results with any other acre in the same
or similar crops.
In this way you can learn many use
ful lessons t r future use. We earnestly
reqlest every farmer to try this. You
czIuot lose anything by tbis trial. You
may m Ike a great deal. Try it

CANCEL PAIo MORTGAGES.

The Tarboro 8outherner calls etten
ton to an inpors san5 but much neg =
legted ma.tar-the cancellation OF
mortgages after they are paid. The
Southerner'5 article we q tote herewith
in full:
On the records in the Registers
office are many mortgages which al
though paid are not cancelled. The
people are entirely too careless about
this. Suppose a man after paying off
a mortgage should lose his receipt and
notes which were surrendered TO him
and then die with the mortgage still
uncancelled. An unscrupulous rascal
could force another payment.
The Southerner calls attention to
this very reprehensi0le carelessnesa,
not only to protect individuals, but
for the credit of the county. The cen-
sus ia to be taken this year. Statistics
giving the mortgage Indebtedness of
the county will be taken and il these
uncancelled mortgages go in the county
will appear to be in a much worse con
dition than it really is.
So have the mortgages which you
have paid cancelled. 1t is bus sinesg.

effective for this purpose. At no time
during the entire season did the sell
underneath the tobacco become dry.
1t rem aimed moist and mellow. To
hacco stems are exceedingly hygro-
scopic, seeming to attract moisture
and to hold it for long time. The
color OF tobacco stems is very like that
of soil, so that there is no objection to
them on this score. It is a notable
fact that, during the entire season,
neither grass nor weeds made their
way through it-a fact not readily &C
counted for. Tobacco stems have con
siderable value as a fertilizer. They
contain 2 % per cent. of nitrogen, of
phosphoric acid, and Of potash.
Tomato stems are rich in nitrogen
and phosphoric acid, but very low in
potash. Potato ste ms are very low in
nitrogen, but cor tain somewhat more
phosphoric acid and potash than DO
tomato stems. Hare is the analysis:
Nit'g'n. Potash. Pnos. acid
Tomato stems 8. 90 .32 .O7
Potato stems
(nearly ripe 49 .43 .16
We do not suppose that either the
stems of tomato or potato vines would
absorb and retain m 1isture to the ex
cent that tobacco stems do. We are
q Iestioning, however, whether it
would not pay farmers, gardeners and
small fruit growers to gather the
haulm of potatoes and tomatoes, and
run them through a hay cutter, the
cut stems to be spread upon the soil
for the purpose of lightning and en-
richir rg it between the rows of straw
berries, etc., instead Of allowing them,
as many do, to dry up in the field and
blow away.-Ruval New Yorker.

RAPE AS A CATCH CROP.

The great boom lately given the rape
plant, by agricultural writer's at the
Noyt0, as a lace summer ana fall eaten
crop, has induced farmers in this com
munjty to make triel Of lis merits.
We give cur experience with the hope
that it may prevent others from max
ing the same mistake. We had the
past season a Fl Id of rich bottom land
on which the clover failed to catch.
About the middle of July, after the
wheat Wae taken eff, we prepared il
with the diec smoothing harrow and
roller, broRdcasEed 5 pounds Dwarf
E sex rape seed per acre and covered
it with the smOothiDg & harrow followed
with the roller. The heavy wheat stub
bile prevented our making as good
seed bed as we like, but a good rain
within few days brought the rape up
nicely, and it so, n looked as though it
would make fee crop. But the weeds
started also, and it was not long until
they had smoFhered the rape out with
the exception Of few patches here
and there, which grew 80 luxuriously
as to convince US that il we had plaWed
the wheat 8, ,ubble an d prepared it thor
oughly we would have had a paying
crop. These few patches grew right
along through one Of the most severe
droughts that we have experienced for
years. Our milch COWS ate it with

FARM WORKSHOP

Farmers are advised to provide
themselves with a workshop Iwould
not advise buying many tools at first.
Buy only those that are most necessary,
and add to them as required and as
ones means will allow. By all means,
have q shop. Twenty dollars will build
one and ten dollars will construct one
that will DO TOR most farmers. Have
ground Fl DOR, and, by all means, add
a small blscksmith's ouCfi5, a secop d.
hand anvil, a hamme~, two pairs Of
songs and a bench drill. The forge you
can construct yourself. made mine,
and it is as good as those that retail at
ten dollars. The expense OF it was only
one dollar, and that was for what is
commonly called a ducks nest" l
fad that this part of the shop saves
ne much mere money than the wood

half the cost Of new, and they answer
Just as we'll l have a few tools for

ALSIKR CLOVER FOR HONEY,
Hay AND MILK.

correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
The threetold advantages of alsike
are summed up in this title. It would
be hard to find crop that would fur
nish all three crops to better advau-
sage and at less cost. Let the farmer
who enters into dairying SOW alsike,
and then add bees and plenty of hay
storage room to his place, and he will
make good living.
First, as to the honey crop. Alsike
bloom is equal to the white clover for
furnishing nectar to bees, snd it makes
a mild favored AMI light colored honey
that brings the highest price in the
market. The honey made from this
clover should be put up only as faocy
honey and sold only to the first-class
markets. Il is a product that most
dealers will appreciate. The bees like
the blooms go we'll that they will de
sert all neighbcriug fields to suck the
nectar from the aIsike. They cluster
in the field like flies around molaeseP.
IG is very diflculI TO secure q blossom
that the bees like end one that will a.
the sane time furnish high-grade
honey. Try placing a number Of hives
near a large clover field. Sometimes
this grass and the red clover are mixed
together, and the bees fairly tumble
over each other to get into such field
for they like to make change by go
i1os from ono IN tho OthnP
Second, the hay crop from a!sike is a
good commercial one that seldom goes
begging in the market. Let it be
pure clover crop, either alsike alone or
mixed with red clover, and the hay
will bring ten to twenty cents hun
dredweight more Mixed clover is far
cheaper than the pure clover. II the
weather is good the alsike will tower
several inches over the red clover, and
the crop will be an immense one to the
acre. The hay must, Of course, be
properly cured. That should be true
Of every kind of grass or clover, and it
is as important as variety and method
of raising. If one cannot sell all the
hay at good price 1t comes IN handy
for the third and last crop The milk
harvest is an important one, and no
fall and winter feed is better appre
ciated by dairy cows than good alsike
properly fed with meal aud grain, The
COWS not only enjoy the alsike hay, but
they increase their milk and cream
yield on it and more than repay the
owner. Finally, there is fertiliz lng
advantage Obtained from 8 crop of
aIsike that might be put down as a
fourth praf5. The roots are long and
deep seated in the sell, and they pro
duce a beneficial mechanical effect
that helps any soil When the crop is
turned under the land gains much of
the fertilizing material tnat it needs.
