On the Welsh border 1t used to be
considered that the surest preca ution
against witchcraft was to wear the
left stocking wrong side out. This
leads us to another kind Of superstition
connected with the harmless. necessary
hose-their value. when properly WON
or arranged. as charms or as prot
tons against sickness or pain. II you
will only take the trouble when you 20
to bed to cross your stockings and
shoes. you will be quite safe from the
grip Of cramp. Again. II you hang,
your stockings crosswise at the foot Of
the bed. with pin stuck In them, you
need have no fear Of nightmare; the
bag has holy horror of cross and pin.
Wiseacres have also been heard to de-
clare that If you will always put your
left stocking and shoe on first you will
enjoy immunity from toothache This,
however. the most superstitious Of NOR
tails will likely take leave to doubt.
Toothache. that hell Of a. diseases"
as Burns calls it. is no respecter of per-
sons nor assuredly Of stockings or legs.

VALUABLE FARM BOOKS.

Principles of Agriculture. By Prof.
L. III. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 800 pages.
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1926 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount TO US for copy of Prof. l..
II. Bailey's Principles of Agricul-
ture." This Is a work which tells
the "whys and wherefOres the
principles-of the "business" of
farming It is written by man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures q copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view Of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader Of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 300
pages. Send US ST. 125 and geta copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.
A SPECIAL PRICE.
We have now decided to send a
copy of this valuable work and a
years subscription to The Progress
i've Farmer to any address for only
50. This offer is made at sacrifice
in the hope of placing the work in
the hands of more of the thousands
who need it.

When all of the elements have be,
come fully assimilated and dry as a
mass so that it might be applied
through a fertilizer machine in
planting the cotton or corn crop, it
is ready for use. IF any one has the
cash to pay, it is desirable to mix
with this compost just as it is being
shoveled up to be applied on the land,
eight pounds of purest nitrate of
soda to the ton of compost. How
ever, if the crop of pea or bean vines
has been plowed under annually as
advised in next chapter, this nitrate
in the compost is not at all necessary
because the green manure is ample
and is much to be preferred for other
reasons.
must say here that I never ap-
piled this fertilizer through a ma
chine, and as they are now con-
structed one may not be able to do
so, but the machine should be such
and the fertilizer so fine and dry that
it could be 80 applied. In any case
it may be drilled along in the furrow
either under or on top of cotton and
corn seed.
Into this compost barn should come
all the manure, not only from the
sheep barn, but from the horse and
cow stables, pig sty, hen house and
every accumulation of manure made
on the farm, not neglecting the
s'night SOIL" Cart all to the mixing
room before it gets wasted. Learn
to handle the manures as promptly,
carefully and diligently as if they
we're shocks of corn, because, bulk
for bulk, they are quite as valuable.
Use the remaining % barrels of
plaster often in the barn and stables
on the manure or on all the compost,
mainly at the last mixing. Espe-
oially is it handy to use in the stables
or to apply on any. part at any time
when it needs cooling or to prevent
all escaping gas, as any one may soon
detect by noting offensive odors or
otherwise.
Remember that the land paster
either alone or mixed conveniently
in a pile with road dust or dry earth
will absorb moisture, urine and all
escaping elements of the fertilizer in
the stables and barns as we'll as in
the 90 8 post barn, and aid greatly in
drying and dissolving it, and making
it soluble or plant food, hence the
necessity of having a quantity of
such on hand at all times, because
the leaf mold mixture may not be
sufficient
The next chapter will commence
where this one leaves off on this
same subject and give you even a
better compost formula.
