TWO WAYS OF FARMING.

A correspondent in the Ohio
Farmer in comparing the difference
between intelligent and thrifty
farming and slipshod methods too
common in all sections, says:
"By looking carefully over a rural
community we ace that not all farm
ers and their families are abridged
in needed leisure and time for social
pleasure. This is because there are
two general agricultural classes iv-
ing side by side. One represents the
man who drives his work, has little
to complain of, and the other, one
who lets his work drive him and
who is always bitterly complaining.
The farmer who does not ''get along"
belongs to the latter class. He makes
many unnecessary trips to town,
and golden hours fit by while he
lounges. He does not start to hoe
the corn and potatoes till the weeds
are choking them, and the grass in
his meadows is past its prime before
it is cut. His work is proverbially
ten days behind hand from seeding
time till harvest and his crops suffer
in consequence. This man takes his
leisure at the wrong time, right at
critical periods in the cultivation
and harvesting of his crops. In
other. words he fails in management.
''His more wise and consequently
more successful agricultural brother
pursues an opposite course. He meets
half way natures efforts to help
him, and keeps his work we'll in hand
and under his control. The care of
his crops and stock always receives
first consideration, because they rep
resent his iving-his bank account.
While his negligent brother is MAX
ing those unnecessary and prolonged
visits to town he is improving the
golden moments by brisk, indus
trious and alert policy, which will
keep the cultivation of his farm so
thoroughly in hand that he will
have besides plenty of lesure for
sufficient social enjoyment with his
family and friends, time to read the
best journals. and also. to indulge
with his family in occasional days
of recreation. Thus farmer, by
proper management, may enjoy as
much or more leisure than man in
any other line of business, and at
the same time reap substantial
profts-p~ovided his hours or days
of leisure are chosen at the right
time.

result of the application of mineral
fertilizers.
The losses of nitrates from soils
are greatest from wheat harvest to
spring sowing, and least during the
summer months. This fact teaches
most important principle, that is,
that ground should be kept in some
crop as much of the time as possible,
especially during the fall and winter
Corn land should never be left fall
low through the winter. The same
is equally true Of tomato and truck
ing land. Either these crops should
be followed by wheat, or some cover
crop put in to conserve nitrates.
A growth OF crimson clozer, COW
peas, vetch, bur clover, rye or even
weeds left on the land during the
winter will save much nitrogen The
living crops like crimson or bur
clover, rye, wheat or winter vetch
are more efficient than dead crop
of pea vines or weeds.
Then we find that besides supply
ing nitrogen to the soils in the form
of manures or legumes turned under
we may utilize the great stores 1000
to $4,000 pounds per acre. already
there by encouraging the multiplica-
tion of soil bacteria in three ways
understanding, deep plowing and
frequent cultivation. 1t is estimated
that every cultivation of a crop is
equal to dressing of nitrate of soda,
and is much cheaper. It pays to
cultivate often, though there be no
weeds nor crust. Such intensive
culture will in time exhaust the soil
unless legumes be frequently grown
in rotation with the crops that re
ceive clean culture.

We have urged this practice of
following the plow with the harrow
in the spring of the year in order to
prevent the formation of clOds as
to conserve the moisture. While
there is little danger of cIod for1ha-
ton now, there is even more neces-
sity for following with the harrow in
order to conserve moisture than
there was last spring. When the
time comes to SOW wheat, it is all
important that there be sufficient
moisture in the ground to secure
vigorous and prompt termination.
There is little enough time under the
best conditions to allow the wheat to
take firm root, to stool out well, and
be ready for the winter. To secure
this vigorous growth, moisture is
all-impOrtant; therefore, conserve it
by using the harrow while you can.
It is just as easy to harrow the
ground Immediately after plowing as
it is after it has become lumpy, in
case. the land is plowed a little wet,
and parted with its moisture and
thus unfit to sprout the grain. It is
the prompt attention to some of
these seemingly unimportant things
that marks the difference between a
good farmer and poor one, or be-
tween success and failure. Henry
Wallace.

protect the young plants against
frost. But we rather think the chief
advantage comes from the better
preparation of soil secured by this
plan, together with greater uniform
ity of depth of covering of the seed.
FERTILIZING.
The manuring should be done
broadcast and thoroughly incor-
pOrrated with the soil by narrowing
The chief point is to secure as great
sOlubility as possible, so as to render
prompt aid to the roots. Ammonia
is needed for promoting healthy
growth. This can generally be
secured from peas or clover, or thor
Ough culture and barnyard manures.
Acid phosphate is needed to insure
heavy grain in the heads, plump and
full. Potash gives strength to the
stems and helps to resist rust. 1t
gives a healthy tone to the entire
plant, and this is of prime import
ance.
RESULTS.
If good seed be selected, soil prep
aration thorough, fertilizing proper
ly proportioned and seed sown early,
the wheat crop will be sure and
profitable Carelessness, slipshod
methods and general inattenti0n
have made many farmers flour buy

From thirty to forty bushels should
be the average yield from intelligent
sowing. Wheat growing is not linn
tied by climate or soil, but by intel
igent sowing. Hence. we say to
every Southern farmer,

BOOKS FOR FARMERS.

A young farmer of Adair county,
Iowa, writes Wallace's Farmer as
follows:
"Can a young man with a common
school education study out the scien-
tific part of farming without going
to college? I cannot leave home and
have only evenings to study. Is it
too deep to study out alone? There
are three or four studies which
would like to master; live stock
judging, feeding, elements of the
soil, and farm management. Are
there any books treating on these
subjects?"
To this inquiry DR.. Wallace replies
as follows:
While nothing can fully take the
place of practical college education,
our young friend may get a fair
working knowledge of scientific agri-
culture by home study and close OBJ
servation. Live stock judging is
something that can be thoroughly
mastered only by constant practice.
We are in great need of text-b book
on this subject and it is to be hoped
that some of our expert judges will
furnish it before long.
Farm management is a matter of
executive ability and experience.
Our: correspondent can, however,
get a good working knowledge of
practical farming if he will begin
with ''The Principles of Agriculture"
by Prof. Bailey, and "The Soil" by
Prof. King, both volumes of the
Rural Science Series published by
The Macmillan Company New York.
If he will thoroughly master these,
which he can do in the course of
a year, he will have taken a long
stride toward being an up-to-date
in fact, will be surprised himself at
the pay in the course of the year in
dollars he will receive from this
course Of study.
The best time to slaughter hogs
for farm or family purposes, is when
the weather is dry, cool and frosty.
After the hogs are nicOly butchered
let them dry and cool out nicely be-
fore you commence cutting up. After
they are nicely cut into shoulders,
middlings and hams, salt with nice
salt, little saltpetre mixed with it,
on a platform. After it has remained
in salt about six weeks, hang the
meat up in close, dark smoke house,
and as soon as hung up smoke the
meat with green hickory wood until
it is a nice brown color. The pre-
servative power of the smoke is ow-
ing to the small amount of creosOte
it contains. After it is properly
smoked and dried, flies nor bugs
must not be allowed access to it. To
prevent this put the hams and shoul-
ders into thick paper sacks, securely
bound up and hang up. If the sides
are not put in paper sacks; they can
be put in a box with layers of shelled
corn between the sides and the box
covered. G. Allison, Glade

MAKING GERMAN sAUERK-RAUT.
Bay City, Tex

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
A great many items of interest to
farmers come from our cOnsuls in
different parts of the world to the
State Department here. Last spring
I sent The Progressive Farmer a de-
scriptiOn of Chinese farming, and a
little later an insight into Belgian
poultry raising. And now as it is
about time for sauer-kraut making
in the Old North State, | think the
following letter recently received by
the State Department from Consul
Murphy, of Madgeburg Germany, re
garding the far-famed German sauer-
kraut, will interest your readers.
Consul Murphy writes:
"The best German sauer- kraut is
made in Madgeburg; but when a
consular officer attempts to ascertain
how it is made, he encounters the
usual insuperable obstacle-business
secrets. The manufacturer politely
replies to all inquiries, My recipe is
what makes my business profitable.
If I gave it to you, you could make
the same sauer- -kraut in Washington.
The fame of Magdeburg would thus
be dimmed, and what would become
Of the orders which mean so much
to me?
1.-The PROCESS of manufacture,
omitting business secrets, is about
as follows:
''Take a number of heads of white
cabbage, as fresh as possible, and cut
them into fine, long shreds. Place
in layers in barrels, or kegs, strew-
ing salt over each layer, using one
half a pound of salt for each twenty
five cabbages. Press the mass down
with clean feet, wooden shoes, or a
heavy stamper. Place a cover on
the barrel, and upon this lay heavy
stone. This presses the sauer- kraut
more and conserves it better. The
sauer- -kraut must then be allowed to
ferment in a cellar for from three to
eight days, according to the tempera-
t1re of the room. The barrel should
then be tightly closed and kept in a
cool place, preferably in a cellar.
Fancy grades of sauer- kraut are
produced by pouring white wine into
the barrels after they are filed. Ap-
pies chopped very fine are also some
times mixed with the cabbage.
after the barrel is closed the
sauer- -kraut will be ready fer use in
about week. AS soon as some is
used, the barrel should be covered
and stone again placed on top.
I'm preparing and keeping sauer-
kraut, sunshine and extremes of heat
and cold should be avoided"
With best wishes for The Pro
gressive Farmer. b.
