AID THE TEACHER.

Education is a necessity to every man.
II does not need to be nm university cdu-
eaton. but il must be an education that
makes thinking man. one that draws
out the possibilities within. A mans
mind is like the sea, its geography is not
known until 1t is sounded. The most
effective sounding lead" is today the
schools.
schools to be effective must have good
teachers and good books Economy,
brought about by cutting teachers wages
is poor economy Get the best teacher
that money will buy, and keep him as
long as he viii stay The longer he stays
the better he understands the children,
and how 10 get the best efforts out Of
them
A teacher comes TO the school always
with the determination to do his best,
and make men and women out Of the
boys and girls. |, is the duty OF the
directors and parents to stand by him
give him mere support in carrying out
his discipline. Too often parents are
pceiudiccd against the teacher by some
idle talk brought home from school.
Johnny comes home with the story that
the teacher has corrected him, when he
had not been in fault Willie had been
to blame aud should have received the
punishment. Immediately father and
mother become irate and say harsh
things Of the teacher, not thinking that
Johnny has presented only his side Of the
story. leaving ont many facts, and varu-
iqhing others They forget too that
Willie has different story, and that
willie's parents are sure that his story is
true.

OWNS IT'S OWN DEBT.

Idaho has fair bonded debt, but it is
owned largely by the perpetual school
fund cf the state. This is u novel thing
for state. aud Idaho is about the only
one that can boast Of such thing In
ten years mere the school fund Of the
state will own all the bonded debt thai
Idaho has. If the same business principle
is carried out that now prevails This
means that AL the'interest on the states
debt will go towards helping the public
schools and not into private eastern
socks. In this regard Idaho is some
whac like France That country has Il
big debt but il is mostly owned by
Frcnchmen. Idaho has small bonded
debt and it is mostly owned by the PEG
pie Of this commonwealth.

stock. He should grow cow peas and
soy beans, rape and sorghum, clover
and vetch. What will he do with
them? Feed them right on the farm.
Oats and corn have their place in q
ration of farm crops, but great
many farms in the middle West
would be much improved if given a
rest from these fertility teaches.
Leguminous and forage crops must
supplant cereal crops to a large ex-
tent in the corn belt. The land de-
mands the change. Good farming
approves it. Farmers must get out
of the rut or be mired. The latter
will be their lot if they continue the
two-crop system which they so long
have been practicing. To avoid it is
quite as easy as to encounter it.
Without suggesting a complete
program, let us urge that you SOW
some cow peas and soJ beans this
year. Double disk some of your oat
land as soon as the crop is harvested,
harrow it we'll and drill in the peas
or beans. At last cultivation of
corn SOW about ten pounds of clover
seed per acre broadcast amongst the
stalks. Try ten acres this way. Sow
some rape. Try some vetch. Get
more live stock on your farm. Feed
them on those good things herein
mentioned. Keep some good COWS.
Raise poultry. Grow fruit. Have
several hives of bees. Be a real
farmer and get out of the ruts.

Raleigh, N. c., May IA, 1901.

You will gain about five years. Five
years is worth looking pfter in this
day and age of the world. The
farmer who is well enough graded
up himself to start an experiment. of
this kind and will start it, has
already won half the battle. We
ought to raise ten per cent. more
corn than we do simply by using
high-bred seed and keep on breeding
it up. There is very little corn
grown in Iowa that might not fairly
be called low-grade and much of it
would be better named if it were
called scrub corn.

"GET OUT OF THE RUTs."

Such is the good advice which the
editor of the Chicago Farmers Voice
gives his readers. While he is speak
ing TO farmers whose money crops
are corn and oats, his idea, the prin
cin1e which he is advocating, is en-
tirely applicable to Southern condi-
tions-iust as good for the cotton
farmer as for the grower of corn and
oats. We make no apology tn ere
fore for reproducing the article be-
low:
The more a wagon runs in rut
the deeper the rut grows and the
more difficult it becomes for the
driver to get out of it. There are
hundreds of farmers in ruts, so to
sneak, and each year seems to weaken
their power or thwart their desire to
pet ont. The farmer who for fifteen
or twenty years has been growing
corn and oats alternately on what
he mistakenly thinks inexhaustlble
soil is in a deep, well-worn rut that
stones toward hard times for that
farmer. He ought to get out and
travel on a smooth surface. he
ought to grow more crops and i've

PEA VINE Hay FOR I sEs.

Prof Massey Replies to M arbrey.
Correspondence OF The Progressi & FARMER
Ny attention has beel called to
the article in your columns by Mr..
W. A. Barbrey, of Sampson county,
N. c., in regard to the danger of
feeding pea vine hay to horses, and
Mr.. B. seems to think that it is dam
aged hay only that is dangerous.
The whole gist of the matter, it
seems TO me, lies in the farmer hav-
ing knowledge of the nature of the
feeds he is using. All hay made
from legumes or ensilage made from
them is of higher heterogeneous char
acter than other hays or corn fodder
and by themselves these make too
narrow a ration and cause danger Of
heterogeneous poisoning. This effect
is more plainly marked in the more
concentrated nitrogenous foods like
the cotton seed meal, which fed
regularly as an exclusive grain diet
will finally kill animals.
No damaged hay of any kind
should be fed to a horse especially,
for the rotting is the first stage in
the production of nitrates from the
organic matter, and it is the accu-
mutation of nitrates in the animal
economy that does the damage.
have found the urine of animals fed
on cotton seed meal and hulls per
fectly crammed with crystals of
nitrate of urea and a uraemic poison
ing showing itself. There is no dan
ger from good pea vine hay or any
other legume hay when properly
fed. That is, there should be enough
carbonaceous food given with it to
balance the ration.
My horses get pea vine hay and
corn fodder as a ration and they are
always in fine order and have no
trouble. But l would not feed
horse on pea vine hay and oats alone,
as the ration would be too nitrogen
Gus. Peas are not safe pasture for
horses or any other nOn-rumining
animal, but COWS can pasture them
easily if occasionally changed TO
grass pasture. have grazed down
peas three times in one season and
had no trouble with the COWS. In
fact there is no summer pasture that
will give as much milk and butter
as peas.
Then as to the curing of the peas
for hay, know of no hay more
easily made, and make it every
summer and have no mould, and
there is not the slightest need for
all the bother of pointed sticks or
sticks Of any kind as described by
Mr.. Merriam. Doubtless good hay
may be made in that way, but l
make it with a great deal less labor
bv simply curing it in the shocks
till we'll wilted and then putting it
in the barn to finish at it's leisure.
And it does not matter if the barn
door stands open all time. In fact
I can make pea hay as easily as grass
hay. And then as to feeding it,
would advise farmers to get our
bulletin on feeding stock and study
the making of a balanced ration,
and there will be no danger from
any hay. w. +. MASSEY

HARRY FARMERS TALKS.



Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Libraries for county schools are
new to US in North Carolina. AS
the character of a people is moulded
by what they read, and especially
the literature read by the children,
no greater benefit, considering the
cost, can be bestowed upon a COM
munity than a library filed with
good books. Harry Farmer thinks
that there should be a few good
books on agriculture among the list.
Several years ago we heard a minis
ter say in addressing a Sunday
School, Children, these old people
will not hear if they do, it makes
no impression on their minds" If
you cannot impress a religious idea
on the mind of an old person, neither
can you impress a new idea of agri
culture on his mind. So our hope
is in the young. If we ever get the
idea of doing "as daddy did" out of
the minds of the rising generation
and let them read and practice mod
erd methods of agriculture, our good
Old North State will be one of the
richest in the Union.
We notice that fruit trees are we'll
loaded with young fruit, and if no
accident happens to it there will be
one of the heaviest crops that we
have had in ten years. Now is the
time to get fruit jars and evapOra-
tors to save the crops. EvapOrated
apples are retailing at 10 to II cents
per pound, and are scarce at that
price. These prices would pay a
nice profit on the work and machin-
cry necessary to preserve them.
The strawberry crop will be good,
but late. If some plan could be de-
vised to save the surplus berries, it
would be a great help. This is one
fruit that cooking Injuries. We have
tried canning them, also have pre-
served some, but they are not good.
Some make wine out of the berries,
but we prefer not to encourage this,
as it has a tendency to demoralize
the young. There is one way in
which the juice might be preserved
and kept nice and sweet; that is, to
fill bottles and place them in a YES
sci of cold water and bring the water
to a boiling heat, then seal. Grape
juice put up this way keeps we'll and
there is no reason why strawberries
or any other fruit can't be treated
in the same manner.
We have large quantities of nice
plums that can be sold for good
prices in the Northern markets.
Plums should be gathered before
they are mellow and placed in quart
baskets just like strawberries. Be
careful not to use any defective
fruit; let all be in good condition.
Such things when placed on the early
market bring paying prices.

RAPE AND ITS CULTIVATION.

Assistant Agriculturist Skinner Gives the
Indiana Point Of View.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Rape is a succulent plant belong
ing to the cabbage family. Tt grows
rapidly, making large amount of
green food, upon which pigs and
sheep grow we'll. To make a sue
cess of rape select a rich piece of
land free from weeds, plough deep,
and then roll-if not too damp har-
row until the soil is finely pulverized
and we'll frmed down. Finish the
preparation by running plank drag
over it. Such seed bed will ger
inmate the seed quickly and enable
the plants to Withstand dry weather,
I prefer to have the ploughing done
just before sowing. This will give
the rape an even start with weeds.
Sow with garden seed drill, three
pounds or five pounds broadcast per
acre.
be more than 20 to "a inches apart.
Drill sowing will permit cultivation,
which will keep down weeds, con-
serve moisture and increase the
yield. Where drilled animals de.
stroy less as they walk, anl lie down
between the rows.
If sown broadcast cover with har-
row or weeder and roll. In many
cases it is we'll to roll the drill SOW
ing also.
The season will control the time of
seeding. Donot SOW until the ground
has become warm enough to quickly
germinate the seed, as it comes up
better and grows more rapidly.
usually it should not be sown before
the middle of April-in this latitude
of north central Indiana. It is best
to SOW at intervals of ten days or
two weeks. By the use of low
hurdles, this will give fresh pasture
throughout the season as the early
sowing can be grazed off a second
time. This also makes less waste as
the stock does not run over it so
much.
Rape may be sown in the corn just
before the last cultivation. If the
soil is not too dry it will grow we'll
unless the corn is very large and
thick. Where thus sown it makes
splendid pasture for lambs from Sep
tember till cold weather.
Some men have had success in
sowing rape with oats. This, how
ever, is not a sure way, as the season
will have something to do with it.
It is a good plan to have the rape
patch near the barns and alongside
of the pasture. This brings the ami
mails under the stockman's eye, and
if lamb bleats he is there to give it
attention. If the stock can go freely
back and forth between the pasture
and rape, it will save trouble, time,
labor and even loss. Rape thus sup
plements the pasture, making fat
lambs and good pigs.
Where sheep have access to both
rape and grass, they should not be
turned on the rape till the middle of
the day when. the animals are not
hungry enough to gorge themselves,
and the rape is free fr.m dew. If
they do not have the run of the pas
ture turn them on the rape for an
hour each day gradually increasing
the time, until they become accus-
toned to it. Then keep them on it
continually till the end of the season.

who kept his agents M the principal

him all facts that came to their knowl-
edge
At one of his stations in the far north

the greater part Of the season, and
there was no prospect of improvement.

examining his agents letters from
that place for some years back he
found by a comparison Of dates that
at certain place behring's were likely
TO be found. lie accordingly instructed
his agent to send his boats to that
spot
The fishermen laughed at the idea
Of a man sitting some hundreds Of
miles away and telling them where to
get fish. but as his orders were posi-
tive they had to obey, and the conse-
quencc was that they returned next
morning loaded with behring's.

Our First Horses.

The first horses imported into Amer
lea. says a London journal. were taken
over by Columbus on his second voy-
age in 1893. Thirty years later forty
two horses were landed in Florida. but
they all died soon after their arrival.
De Soto, who made an expedition TO
the new world in 1540-41, left number
of fine Spanish horses behind him when
obliged to quit the country after his
conquest of Louisiana. and this stock
is thought to have formed the founda-
ton of the wild horse of the southwest
ern states. In 1904 a French immi-
grant brought TO Acadia a number of
animals from which the modern Cana
dian pony is thought TO be descended.
Horses from Flanders were imported
