A Condition, Not a Theory.

the state charities board
n that the legislature appro-
pirate for the ensuing two
years more than ten and half mil
lions of dollars in aid of 1873 private
charities or charitable institutions not
under state control Is receiving the
customary amount of criticism from
those who question the pcopriety OF
state grants for local purposes; and
there is also objection to the boards
practice of asking for larger appropri-
ations than 1t expects the legislature
to allow. The allowance last session
was less than s5.O00,0oo for all forms
of charity and benevoience and the to-
tai recommendation this session is for
more than sl4,O0O.OOo, obviously in ex-
cess of what is expected.
OF course in theory this is censur-
able but when the legislative practice
Is to make horizontal reductions In
the boards recommendations without
very much consideration for other
than purely political influences, 1t is
waste of energy to complain of the
baord's procedure. The method of
charity disbursements as established
at Harrisburg is not unlike the method
OF river and harbor disbursements as
established at Washington. Those
who are modest in asking are gener-
ally slow in receiving. And so long
as "a disbursement is made, those who
fail to get what share they can of it
have scant consolation in the thought
that some Of the other fellows re-
ceived more than they were entitled to.
In the millennial days TO come all
this will be readjusted on the basis
Of perfect equity, but nowadays it is
n condition. not theory, which con-
fronts the board of charities.

from the stable on early vegetables
Is very liable to prove disappointing,
but 1T can be used to advantage on
that portion of the garden you in
tend to plant in corn, and will do
very nicely under squashes. We
have obtained the best results from
our manure used in this manner or
applied broadcast in the fall on some
winter growing crop.
1t is a good plan to rotate manure
with commercial fertilizer on land
which is constantly planted in vege-
tables. For instance, we shall plant
out cabbages this spring on u piece
of land that was heavily manured
last fall for spinach, and shall fer
tilize them with one ton per acre of
high grade guano. Our manure
we shall apply to the land we had in
turnips in the fall, where guano was
used, and this land we shall plant in
early corn. By this means we keep
up the supply of organic or vegetable
matter in the soil, which is very i'm
portant in maintaining it in a good
physical condition.
1t is not necessary, as some people
seem to think, to pile on tons of
stable manure on the same land year
after year. As good, or even better
results may be Obtained by using
commercial fertilizer alternately
with the manure, as have described,
with the additional saving of u large
amount of labor. 1t Is often diff
cult matter to obtain manure in
sufficient quantities in time to pre-
pare it for our earliest vegetables,
while guanO is always ready. So
that we have found it expedient to
use guanO for most of our early
vegetables while applying our ma
nure to corn, and broadcast in the
fall, as l mentioned before. We
thus get rid of the heavy work OF
composing, while the land receives
an additional benefit from the ma
nure decaying in the soil. The car
bonic acid gas generated by this de-
cay acts as a powerful solvent, hber-
ating plant food already in the soil,
and much of this gas would be lost
in the process of composing.

THE WIDE TIRE.
T. j. MERRIAM.
Fulton Co, Ga.

Experience of an Orange County Farmer,
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1 wish to make a few remarks in
regard to the use of wide tires and
low wheels. l have been running
wide tires for three years, and can
say unhesitatingly l would not do
without them one year for their cost,
and mine are as good now as when
bought. Ill state for the benefit of
others how 1 came to purchase wide
tires. l borrowed from a neighbOr-
ing saw mill log wagon that run
wide tire wrought iron wheels, and
hauled logs on this one day. That
night [ told my wife l must have
some wide tire wheels. l firmly be-
lieve if every good farmer could have
just one days trial, there would be
numbers of farmers that would buy
when able, though they have not
caught on by looking at other people
run them If the Electric Wheel
Co. would send them on trial to any
reliable farmer, have no idea that
there would be one in fifty returned.
Some new steps must be taken be-
fore there is much progress in the
use of the wide tire, either by the
manufacturer or by the Legislature.
[ we'll know Prof, Holmes is doing all
in his power to get the move on foot.
Again, something should be said OF
their hardness for loading and un-
loading heavy material on the farm,
such as manure, wood, rock, etc.
Have hauled many load of rock
that l would not have hauled had l
been without these low wheels.
l have not yet been able to find
that the draft is any harder on the
farm than with the old high wooden
wheel, with all it's screaking and
CRYING. In some instances, l find
the draft in favor of the wide tire,
such as on meadow lands and lands
that have been broken. My farm IS
not cut up in ruts as those of many
of nv neighbOrs are. In regard to
the public travel, if every farmer in
onv one community would use them,
# would reduce the road tax to a
minimum.
Yours for better roads,

HOW TO GROW A BIG CORN CROP.
Columbus Co., n. G.

Writing of this important subject
in an exchange, Mr.. j. B. Hunnicutt,
an occasional correspondent of The
Progressive Farmer, says:
There is great danger of over
planting cotton this season. The
temptation is very strong. Hence
we have decided to give some
thoughts on growing corn so as to
secure heavy yields. Will give
similar article on cotton later.
How much corn can we grow upon
an acre? Not simply upon one acre,
but on each acre in our crop? What
ought we to average per acre.? We
say we should get seventy-fve bush
els per acre. We should not be atan
satisfied with less than fifty bushels.
We can grow over one hundred bush
els per acre.
We are not gassing. We are not
extravagant. We are. within our
own experience, and the experience
of our neighbors and other good
farmers in different sections. 1t has
been done. 1t can be done. ItshOU4d
be done by the average farmer
throughout the South.
HOW CAN WE DO IT?
You can do it in this way. Break
your land deep in the fall or early
winter. How deep? Well, fifteen
inches or more. How can we do
this? Simply by running often
enough in one furrow. If one have

OBJECT LESSONS IN AGRICULTURE.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Visit successful farmers. Nothing
will contribute more toward success
in any vocation than enthusiasm
which is founded upon faith in your
own abilities to succeed in your own
dertaking. If anyone anywhere
near you is making a success in your
adopted line of work, or speciality,
you should by all means visit him
and see just how he manages, and
why he succeeds where others have
failed Farming in all it's branches
as now proftably pursued, needs con-
stant study, and during the com
parative leisure of winter every one
should review the past and plan for
better results in future. There is no
other method of learning about any
farm subject equal to being on the
farm where such work is practiced,
and having it explained by those
who have made it a success. It may
be the manner of feeding stock, or a
plan of preserving roots, ensilage or
other fodder A farmer may con
template a system of underdrains for
his wet fields, in which case nothing
short of a visit to some farmer who
has thus drained his lands will en-
able him to gain so many valuable
hints and suggestions regarding this
important work. Such visits not
only give new ideas but are a whole
some recreation, and many a farmer
who at first thought may say, 'I
can t afford it" will find by expert
ence that he has spoken too soon.
Take a day 60 go and visit some one
of the best farms in your county,
and the way will open for further
visits and d wider knowledge of the
best methods Of carrying your
special line of work to a successful
termination.

HARRY FARMERS TALKS.


AV.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
If you want to please the ladies,
fence off a small lot in the yard or
garden for flowers. Give them some
manure and fertilizer so that the
flowers will grow. If you wish to
pot few flowers the best soil is sand
with very fine manure thoroughly
mixed. This will not form hard
crust on the surface like clay. Water
flowers in the evening and stir the
top soil lightly next morning and
your flowers will grow nicely. Un-
less the weather is very hot and dry,
do not water oftener than twice
week.
There is no crop that will pay bet
ter in this part of North Carolina
than sugar cane-not sorghum. For
the best results, plant fiat land that
is little moist. Use stable manure
at the rate of ten tons or thirty cart
loads to the acre. After the cane is
up give a dose of 400 or 500 pounds
of some good ammOniated fertilizer
in furrOw on each side of the row.
1t is generally cultivated like corn.
The y eld rarely falls below 300 gal
Ions of sirup per acre. The yield
often reaches 600 gallons, and some
times as high as 800 gallons have
been made from one acre. Canes or
rattoOns for planting will cost from
ten to twenty-five dollars per acre.
This is the only drawback to the sue
cess of this crop. To those who have
never used any of this sirup we
would say that it is very much like
New Orleans molasses. Harry Farmer
has seen some very good sugar made
from this cane. Besides the crop OF
mOlasses, there can be gathered from
two to four tons of splendid hay
from the leaves or blades which
makes good cow feed. The expert
ment station should test this crop
for silage to fatten beeves on. We
have no silos in this county, or it
would be tested here.
GLOW many eggs do you get a
day?" was a question asked some
farmers. No. said ''AbOut six eggs
from seven hens" No. 2said "About
twelve eggs from twenty hens" No.
said "About two eggs from forty
hens" The first farmer did not state
amount of feed given to his hens.
The second fed one ear of corn day.
The third fed eight ears of corn.
This gives some idea about what
farmers do. 1t will not pay to feed
too much corn. As a rule, many of
our farmers keep too many hens for
the best results. Hens to lay during
the winter must have exercise, and
when they are forced to scratch for
their food they will lay. When you
see the backs of hens white with
frost, you need not expect any eggs.
Have your house tight enough so
that the hens will not have any rain
or cold winds to chill them at night.

Concord Standard: Mr.. j. c..
Furr, of Georgeville, was in the city
today (Saturday) and made a state
ment of his experience in hen hus-
bandry. He had fifty hens last year
from which he sold 4,1OO eggs, for
which he received $40 80 He esti-
mates that the feed cost about five
cents per day-$l8.25. With the ex-
penses should be counted some dep
relations natural for chickens, but
on the credit side should be placed
all the eggs and chickens the family
wanted to consume and stock en-
larged by fifteen hens. Mr.. Furr is
we'll pleased with his hens as means
of feathering his nest.

CHICKEN-EATING HOGS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
l see in your paper of Feb. 9TH
A. J. B. wants information as to
hogs eating chickens, etc, and wants
to know what will make them fat
ten. Nothing will make them fat
ten as long as they eat chickens, is
my experience; but if you will, when
the hog is eating the chicken, take it
from the hog and pour a spoonful of
Japanese oil in the chicken and give
it to the hog, he will never eat an
other. I will assure you that the
hog will leave the road when he meets
chicken the next time. He will
have the chicken half eat up by the
time the japanese oil begins to have
it's effect. It will treat hog just
like a chicken eating hog ought to
be treated. A little blue stone put
in the swill will be very good, but
be sure to try the Japanese oil first.

The difficulties in the way of the success of the Pan-American congress, to be held in the city of Mexico this fall, have been removed by the ac- quiescence of the government of Peru in the plans as originally outlined. Peru objected to some of the terms, or more properly, wanted the scope of the conference enlarged to consider boundary differences and other diffi- culties existing between South Ameri- can republics. Other countries fol- lowed Peru's lead in this, and for a time it appeared that the conference as q trade congress would prove fail ure. The information is confirmed by the Peruvian minister that all objec- tions have been withdrawn and a del egation has been named. This action followed by that of the other countries will organize the congress as original 1y designed. Consul-G eneraI Stowe has arrived from Cape Town. He says that British trade is envious of the vast strides made during the last four years in the exports of the manufac- lures and products from the United States to British colonies and depen- dencies. The consul says the statistics published are unreliable because of the entire absence of figures from Dela- goa Bay.
