HARRY FARMERS TALKS.


XXXIII.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The cotton crop in Columbus coun-
ty is in bad shape, and this spring
large fields were plowed up and
planted in corn. The excessive rains
and the scarcity of hoe hands have
been the cause. Have we not reached
the limit of production? There will
have to be changes made in the cul-
tivation of the crop or else the pro-
duction will decrease. There is one
plan by which grass can be kept un-
der; that ID by pasturing geese in
the cotton patch. This will destroy
the grass so that the land will be al
most entirely free from it the next
year. AS good as the season has
been for grass, we have d small patch
which is considered very GRASSY"
with about three geese to the acre
and the cotton is as clean Of grass as
anv one could wish. An average
year two geese to the acre is suti-
cient. GosEngs will eat more grass
than old geese. AS q farmer said to
the writer some time ago, q goose
will eat grass in proportion to the
amount of corn fed-the more corn
the more grass eaten. A fence from
? to 2Il feet high is sufficient to con
fine them. They require some shade
and a plenty of drinking water-not
a place to battle in as people formerly
thought, but enough to drink. The
following are the grasses which the
writer has noticed them eating
Crab grass, red stem, cane or Ber-
muda, nut grass, and several kinds

ADAPTING CROPS TO SOIL.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
When a man owns farm of very
sandy land he makes a mistake to at
tempt to raise crops which do best
on heavy fertile soils, for in so doing
he is handicapped from the start and
will undoubtedly fail to realize his
expectations. In farming the very
first step is to try to adapt the crops
to the soil. In this we merely follow
natures example. There are crops
which will do we'll on nearly every
kind of soil found in the country.
Only a few barren soils refuse to pro-
duce any kind of crops. If there is
a proper amount of moisture even
the poorest sandy soil can be made
to yield some paying crop.
Our corn requires rich, heavy soil,
and so do most of our other heavy
crops, and such cereals should be
raised only on that kind of land. It
requires only little study and eX-
pertinent to fiud out pretty definitely
what crops best succeed on your farm.
Farms that have been declared run
down and too sandy to yield any
crop profitably have been made pay
ing investments by producing crops
of Strawberries, asparagus and
onions. All that was required was
the right sort of man to discover the
crop adapted to the soil.
The question of enriching the soil
should not of course be neglected
even though certain crop has been
found to thrive on it. This is too
often a short.sighted mistake which
sooner or later manifests itself in an
unpleasant way. If it is a sandy soil
there is something in it that supplies
the strawberries, asparagus or other
crop with nOurishment. What is it
that the plants find in the soil to
make them grow? This can be found
out by ascertaining the special needs
of the particular crop. If it is nitro
gen, potash, or phosphates a sys-
tematic feeding of the soil and crops
with this particular form of fertiE-
zer should be made. In this way the
soil will not be robbed. A great many
sandy and loose, porous soils permit
nearly all fertility to leach through,
and if this leak we're stopped in some
way there would be better results
obtained with the crops. Such soils
may require commercial fertilizers
in which the mineral elements pre-
dominate, but at the same time they
need coarse plant food or barn yard
manure in order to improve the me-
chanical conditions of the soil. Some
times a liberal scattering of forest
leaves over the land, and plowing
under in the fall, will do more good
than anything else. These leaves
will close up many of the holes, and
at the same time add some plant food
to the soil. Coarse straw and barn
yard liter perform the same service.

Your correspondent had an inter
esting interview to-day with Botan-
ist Hyams, who until three weeks
ago was one of the faculty Of the
State Agricultural and Mechanical
College. Mr.. Hyams says the peo-
pie in central and eastern North
Carolina pay hardly any attention to
the gathering of medicinal herbs,
roots and barks. He says the bark
of the roots of the cotton plant is
worth S25 to the acre in other words
as much as the cotton, and that the
StatesvilIe people who deal in this
are unable to supply the demand by
a million pounds. He says there Is
not d dye-stuff plant in this State.

Russian wheat, or of wheat from the

which will serve to open up in Italy
a wide market for American wheat
America imports macaroni from
Italy, mostly from this district. The
wheat used, samples of which are
here inolosed, is known as 'unfal.
Gated wheat, and was purchased by
me in New York City" It is sug-
gested that if the United States
would admit free of duty, or at least,
at a lower tax than the present
tariff, macaroni made from Ameri-
can wheat, a market for our wheat
would be opened in competition with
that of Russia and the East.

RAPE A NATURAL SHEEP FOOD.

it is up two weeks; after that it will
kill weeds itself. In fact, it will
clear Il piece of land of witch grass.
Sow in July for late feed. After the
sheep are used to it, wether will
eat 20 pounds per day, There is no
feed equal to rape, and it can be
grown at One-half the expense of any
other. It will produce in rich land
80 tons to the acre and will grow 50
high that a Jersey COW could not be
seen in the field. Sow pounds to
the acre at first, then pound after
that. Plant in drills if the land is
wet and broadcast if dry. Last fall
[ saw two rape plants on exhibition
at the fair, which weighed 40 pounds
each.-G. NJ. GOwell.

THE GRASSES AND CLOVER.
A. B. MARRIOTT.

a GuilfOTd Trucker Gives His Experience
With Them-Watch Home Markets.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1t is we'll to know the natural pro-
ductions of the lands to be Guilt
waited. North Carolina has a great
variety of soil and climate. What
we of the uplands of the State can
grow to perfection may not be pay
ing crop in the East. We once thought
that only bottom lands could be
properly called meadow land, but
have never seen hills too high for
the fine grasses where the soils and
clay were of the proper consistency.
We have some grasses that have as
serted their claims for which have
utter contempt one is the Bermuda,
the other the Johnson grass. Both
may be splendid for grazing or to
stop washes. The roots are hard to
displace.
All sections and localities more or
less are fine for the clay pea, when
planted at the proper season, espe-
cially not too early. Then follow
with the clover. 1t takes rich land
to grow clover and timothy. I SOW
both on the same land at the same
time and bushel of oats to the acre.
The oats and clover are moved off in
May or the early days of June, so the
clover and grass can take root. The
clover may be moved again in early
fall so two crops are gathered the
same year, The orchard grass is
treated the same way, herds or red
top and good crops Of clover for two
years after this the grasses take
possession. If there be poor spots,
manure may be added at any time.
Have experimental with these crops
for about forty years and have had
no reason to complain with the crop.
At first they gave much anxiety, but
of late not so much. Every man has
his notions about curing. One thing
l had to learn never let clover mold ;
had it to lay on the ground over one
week and then stock ate it clean and
did we'll as any. When North Caro-
lima turns to hay and stock, she will
become d thrifty State and the boys
will stay on the farms where all the
work is done by machinery. am
not surprised at any intelligent boy
leaving the tobacco worm and sucker
and cotton bolls. Give him plenty
of machinery and stock at home and
there is something to stay for.
In the earlier days of North Caro-
lima beef was bought and sold at
three or four cents and the price of
fine beef has not gone up and down
like cotton. To our shame much of
the beef comes to US at fifteen cents
per pound. Home supplies is what
we should turn to if we would prop
erly respect ourselves.

that we do not know the name of
Geese will not eat weeds except.
ing young cookie burs. If cotton is
ploWed regularly one goose to the
acre is sufficient to eat the grass left
among the cotton in an average sea-
son.
Now is good time to castrate pigs
which are expected to be fattened
early in the fall. Our plan is never
to let the males get more than two
or three months old. Always do
such work early in the morning. We
do not lose One-half of one per cent.
Nearly all that die from the opera
tiOn are performed on in the after
noon. In operating cut just as low
down as possible so that the blood,
matter, etc, can drip out: the
wounds will heal more rapidly. 1t
is necessary to wait until the sows
get a little older. The cause of
trouble with them is first, in sewing
not catching the thin skin on the in
side second, sewing the entrails (we
have seen several die from this
cause) third, sewing too tight you
should simply draw the edges to-
gether. Nature has provided the
animal creation with something like
glue which causes the sides of cut
to stick together if they come in con-
tact. Always use flax thread as it
will rot much quicker than cotton.
A great many farmers loose a great
deal of meat by not attending to
such work early. Our pigs always
grow faster after the operation. We
do not want any particular time OF
the moon, but prefer damp to dry
weather, as hogs do better when
they can have a plenty of water to
wallOw in.
If you would have success with
your hogs, commence feeding at
once. While the weather is warm it
will not cost anything to keep the
animals warm and all the feed can
be used to make meat, but if you
wait until cold weather to fatten
animals, it may require almost double
the feed to DO the same work.

Columbus, o., July 10.-The import
ance of the Ohio Exposition, August 26
to September Z, in the eyes of the
various national associations, is shown
by the extraordinary list of special
prizes and premiums to the exhibitors
of certain lines of stock this year.
These national associations have been
formed for the purpose of improving
the breeds of horses and cattle, also
swine, sheep and poultry that science,
thought and careful experiment have
demonstrated as most useful and val
liable to man.
Each year certain states are chosen
in which to dispense premiums for the
furtherance of their objects, and this
year a number of the most important
national associations have decided that
the Ohio Exposition will afford the op.
portunity to reward the Ohio breeders
of fine stock.
The American Coach Horse associa-
ton, with headquarters at Springfield,
Ills, will offer a specially fine gold
medal for the most perfect specimen OF
coach stallion.
The American Clydesdale association,
headquarters also at Springfield, Ills,
also offers gold medal.
The American Short Horn Breeders
supplement the liberal premiums Of
fered by the state board of agriculture
of an amount aggregating $500. This
association also has headquarters at

Sandusky o., July 10.-The historic
old blockhouse on Johnson's island was
totally destroyed by fire yesterday. The
flames originated in some underbrush
near the place and creeping up ignited
the famous old pile of timber before a
warning could be given. The islanders
were unable to save the building and
were at their wits ends to keep the fire
from spreading. The block house was
located at one corner Of the stockade
in which during the civil war a large
number of Confederate prisoners were
confined. 1t was used as a sort of a
watch tower from which to keep tab
on the rebels, who would escape Many
visitors go annually to see the stock
ade and the tower was one of the
chief attractions on account of its his
torical associations. None of the 9TH
er buildings were damaged.
