Ma. Editor: Allow me space in your
Agricultural Department to write up a
little crop that has been raised and sold
ir Wilders township on the land that was
the old home place of the fuckers in Raj
eigh This land was in cultivation when
the great merchants of the family were
boys, and lived on the farm, and was Gull
tivated after they left the farm until
about u or fifteen years ago. Then 1t
was allowed to grow up in old field pines,
which were cut down last November by
S. p. Shadwick. Granville man, who
I think is one of the best tobacco grow
ers 7 ever knew. Broke the land in No
vember: rebroke 1t in February then bed
ded it up in April, rows three and half
feet apart, patted hills three feet apart.
The amount of home raised manure was
from one horse stable only. Guano 500
mounds; cotton seed meal 100 pounds; acid
It's pounds per acre, all distributed in
water burrows and two burrows thrown on
it. Set out plants on the fifth day of May

worked with hoe twice. Commenced cur
ing on the 9th of July, and finished on
the 9Th of September. Sold the entire
crop without grading to pinhookers at
Raleigh at $S773S, there being 7,416
pounds on six acres. Now, Mr.. Editor

1 have always insisted that the neglect
of the farmer to produce full supply OF
pork, bacon and lard is among the least
excusable of his shortcomings and omis-
sions. 1t does not appear to be sound
advice to urge upon farmer the duty
and expediency of producing everything
that he needs and that his soil will pro-
duce. Yet that is the stereotyped insist
ence of many public speakers and writ
ers, forgetful Of the fact that when a
farmer undertakes to produce every
thing" that he needs he violates the we'll
known law of specialization which is OBJ
served in all well ordered lines of indus
try.
But a farmer should produce his hog
and hominy' the food necessary Cor mis-
work animals. food for his fattening ami
mails, his beef. milk, butter, vegetables,
fruit, pork and bacon.
Now is the time to push the fattening
of the hogs intended for bacon. The
weather is now pleasantly cool and yet
not too cold for profitable feeding. One
bushel of corn fed in November will pro-
duee more pork than five bushels fed in
January. / do not mean to insist, or to
intimate, that the fattening should be
done with corn, The remark applies to
any kind of food. No feed makes fatter
pork than corn. but there are other foods
that do equally well and are much
cheaper to produce. Among these are
peanuts and sweet potatoes, cowpeas and
cnufas. What 1 wish to insist upon is
that the hogs for fattening should have
all that they will eat-all that they can
be induced to eat. There is no economy
in stinting the food. whatever it may be.
If farmer has just so much food avail
able for each head of hogs, and no more,
the shorter the time in which they are
permitted to consume it the greater will
be the gain in flesh and fat. II farmer
has one bushel of corn for each hog, and
nothing else. it would be better to give
it in three regular feeds per day as fast
as the animals will consume it without
waste, and then butcher it, than to en-
deavor to stretch the bushel over twice
the period. X. }. X.

SPLENDID POULTRY COUNTRY.

Nowhere in the Uniter States is the
climate and conditions for the production
of chickens and eggs superior to those in
the South. With little care and ener-
eies rightly directed, every dozen eggs
and pound of poultry required for home
and city consumption should come from
our own farms. Poultry will thrive on
the refuse of the farm and scratch for an
independent living, if given the chance.

pupils might go home and get the
books that were practically useless she
allowed them to go at recess. Half the
children asked to be permitted to join

that she expected and hoped she might
get, the youngsters returned with mar

reading matter in the form Of books,

keep the settlement going for months
to come. They filled one box and that

HAD LIVELY TUSSlE
WITH BRoNcHO TEAM.

Alex Palmer vas in from the Pal
mer & Whitehouse ranch ut Red Buttes
today. and told of a lively little time he
and his brother. 1.-The Kid" had with a
new broncho team to a cart yesterday
morning. They succeeded in getting
the harness on the animals and get.
ting the neckyoke Of the cart strapped
up to the collars when the horses
started to run. Mr.. Palmer was at
their heads and climbed up on
the neck-yoke. His brother was at
their heels and mounted the tongue
of the vehicle. and away then went.
The animals went tearing over the
ranch and so close to a building that
the younger Palmer had n overshoe
torn from his foot. and his overalls
torn off, but he was not hurt. The
horses finally ran themselves down
and stopped. ending the fun. Neither
gentlemen was injured enough to
count. but how they managed to escape
with their lives is one of the unsolved
mysteries of life on a ranch. Mr..
Palmer told Of the matter this morning
and laughed heartily of the spectacle
he and his brother made, but said for
a few minutes the fun of the situa-
ton was not on his SIDE.

RS. TOWLE BUYS
HER OLD HON e

Mrs. Towle. the well known and sue
cessful Little Laramie ranchwOman,
who recently leased her ranch and
removed to this city, has bought from
Harry latham lots / and 9, block 1913,
at the northwest corner of Fourth and
Lewis streets. the price not being made
public.
When Mrs. Towle moved to the ranch
twenty-five years ago she sold this
same homestead, upon which she had
built the house, and it seems a little
strange that after a quarter of a cen
tury she should come back to precise
ly the anne spot to make her home.
The Republican welcomes her to the
city and hopes she find perfect hap
piness and contentment Oh the old
corner.

Government bv PUPILS,

A meeting Of the teachers Of the city
schools will be held at the high school
room at 3:45 Monday afternoon, at the
t:ose Of the days school, when the
question of self.government will be dis
eussed, with the possible view Of its
Inauguration in the schools. here. This
method has been found to work to the
entire satisfaction of all concerned in
some Of the schools In the east and
may be brought to be a good thing
here.
The system places the pupil on his
honor as a boy to keep the rules Of
the school. It Is cooperative to a Ger.
tain degree, as the understanding be-
tween teacher and pupil is mutual, each
striving to do what the other wishes
for him to do.
Some Of the teachers are in favor OF
the method, while others to whom The
Republican reporters talked did not
know enough OF 1t to form an opinion,
and will attend Monday afternoons
meeting with a good deal of interest.
Principal Lee is in favor Of the adop-
ton of the plan here II it meets the
cooperation of the teachers, as he has
seen 1t at work and believes it will
work to the advantage of the schools.
