broad area OF the south. IL IS not the
fault OF the soil. or its location so much,
as Il is the fault OF the owner in not hand
ling Il properly. Instead OF land wearing
out IL should be made more fertile each
year and yield more abundant harvests.
The farmers OF the south viii never get
the dividends TO which they are entitled
from their lands until they begin a sys-
tenn OF protection and preserve their soils
from present Indifferent methods OF cul-
tivation.
Think Only Of Present.
Too many OF us think only Of the pres
ent, and seem disposed TO let the future
take care OF itself. Too many farmers
are relying upon commercial fertilizers to
furnish plant food for their crops. The
consequence IS, that our lands are going
from bad TO worse year by year and with
out the use OF commercial fertilizers to
act as a stimulant from the start, II Is
almost impossible to make a paying yield
for any crop. In Georgia, the farmers are
this year paying TO the wealthy fertili-
zer companies a rental from their farms
OF one bale OF cotton TO every four made.
In other words it viii take one-fourth OF
the cotton crop in Georgia this year to
ray the guano bills. II matters don't get
in better shape we VIII soon be paying
a third. and the time viii probably come
when the fertilizer people will do full
equal partnership business with us. No
agricultural country can stand such a
strain where the profits from the products
OF the farm are reduced to nearly the cost
OF production. We must begin to plow
deeper and give nature a chance to take
a hand in helping us to reclaim our worn
and depleted soils. We must terrace our
lands better and especially should our ter
races be put I'm splendid condition before
the winter rains set in. Plow deep, har-
row and pulverize the soil and thereby
begin 70 draw upon the natural resources
OF the soil. Amy farmer knows that a
plant VIII not flourish and develop IL ger
minated in a brick bat. The harder the
soil is and the more covered with clods
Il IS, the harder the life Of the plant which
endeavors TO make Roadway under such
adverse circumstances. These are prac-
teal truths which are known OF all men.
There IS now plenty of time for fall plow-
ing, and every farmer should be prompt
TO take advantage Of his opportunity, and
make an earnest effort to get his land in
good tillage condition for next years crop
while the time is propitious.

HARD SWEATERS IN THE ARMY
Chicago Inter-ocean.


Hard swearers'' said the major.
"abounded in the army. Colonel Jones, of
our brigade, was an expert and was held
up as a frightful example to the men.
Colonel Warrington, Of the Fifteenth Kan
sas. said a good deal about Colonel Jones
and used him to enforce the rule that
neither officers nor men in the Fifteenth
snould swear. For a time the rule was
rigidly enforced, Colonel Warrington
standing as a shining example of the
American officer who did not swear under
any provocation.
"Then the rule was broken, and by Colo
mel Warrington himself. We were in line
under heavy artillery fire when shell or
cannon ball struck in a hog wallow near
which Colonel Warrington was standing.
There was a tremendous splash and a
mass of mud and filth struck Colonel War
rington squarely in the face. Gasping for
breath and digging with his hands at his
undiscovered eyes and mouth and nose.
Colonel Warrington raised his voice and
swore as no man in the brigade could
swear except Colonel Jones.
He blankety- blanked the rebels who
fired the shot the general who formed his
brigade in such a blankety-blanked place.
He consigned the mud hole and all mud
holes to a hotter place and roared out the
most picturesque profanity until his eyes
were clear of mud and he saw the startled
and amused looks on the faces of his men.
Then he summed up the case by repeating
! in order all the swear words ne had used
and added, as Colonel Jones would say,
were he in my place After that the boys
would swear at will, but after every oath
or outburst would add, as Colonel Jones
would say"
colonel Dan McCook," said Sergeant
Grimshaw, was little free in the use of
strong language, but wasn't hard swear
IN, 4 fov
ing of November 26, 1868. after the capture
of Missionary Ridge. our division was
pushed out after the retreating rebels. We
struck them about shutdown, but they cut
out after we had given them two or three
volleys. We camped for the night in line
of battle, but were not disturbed.
THE next morning companies A and B
of the Fifty-second Ohio were sent out
as skirmishers under Captain Bucks. Soon
we were lost in the high underbrush of the
wooded country in front. We kept our
formation and kept moving and picked up
more prisoners than we had men, but we
couldn't find brigade or regiment. Order
lies and staff officers sent out from brig
ade headquarters failed to find us until we
came into the open country near Rocky
Face Ridge.
I'VE We're then five or six miles from our
REGIMENT and were escorted to brigade
heaquarters by two staff officers who had
been hunting us all day and who reported
that Colonel Dan was In state OF mind
over our disappearance. We expected a
scoring. but we marched up in good order
with all our prisoners in the line. We
met with a hearty reception. but 1 will al
ways remember. Colonel Dams face as he
said, God, boys, I hardly expected to see
you again. I thought the rebs had COB
bled you sure. God, boys, but I'm glad to
see you come in all right and with so
many prisoners.

Pea Vine Hay RottIng.

D. b. s., Bryant, Ca, oct. II. 1902:
We cut our peavines recently when
Just a few Of the pods were ripe. Allowed
hay 10 lie for about As hours; then raked
IL and allowed to stand in wind rows for
about a hours. Then we hauled II in
perfectly free from dew and rain and
packed II away nicely. The result is that
IL is rotten. VIII you please tell US
through The Semi-Weelkly Journal where
we were wrong. so we may know how to
proceed next time.
Answer: You did not allow your pea
vines sufficient time TO cure before haul
ing them in and packing away. The vines
were evidently quite green and full Of sap,
as you say only a few OF the pods were
ripe. Peavines should never be mown for
hay until the pods are fully three-fourths
ripe at the time OF moving. The mower
should not be started until after the dew
is on, and the wind rows should be small
II the vines are rank. IL your vines were
green the wind rows should have been
pulled 10 pieces and allowed the sunshine
TO penetrate through, or they should have
been turned with the rake once a day for
two or three days. Green peavines fully
charged with sap requires a much longer
time TO dry out than when the vines have
reached the maturing stage You would
have had better success to have cut your
vines ana placed them In small cocks,
pulling them open during the day and
rounding UP again I'm the late afternoon
until they were fairly cured. Your only
difficulty was in packing them away while
the vines were too full OF sap. They
should have remained out I'm the field for a
longer period of time and pulled about so
as 20 let in the sunshine and air all
through the mass piled in the wind rows
Peavines handled properly are not hard
TO cure. and they should be so handled
as TO let the sun and wind dry out the sap
before they are moved from the field just
the same as with all other hay crops.

It enables the farmer to constantly rear about
him fine class of calves and pigs. The pork,
veal and poultry crop Of the dairy districts of
Wisconsin is a very important item. These
young things consume the skim milk fresh from
the separator twice day and IL gives them a
good start II they are otherwise fed and han
died with dairy Judgment there is good money

toned dairy farm In the south calls for well

crops necessary to balance the dairy ration can
not be raised even with better facility In the
south than In the north. Every economy can

In closing, I desire to express my profound
regret that 1 am unable TO be present to say in

MEN UNITE
Plan to Secure Bookings Independent
of So-CaIIed Theatrical
Syndicate.

NEW YORK, June 16.-An organization
was effected here today to unite individual
theatrical managers of the country for the
purpose Of securing bookings independent
of the so-called theatrical syndicate. 1t
is called the Independent Booking agency.
The agreement upon which the new agency
was established was entered today by Har-
rison Grey Fiske, Maurice Campbell and
James X. Hackett.
The organizers disclaim any intention to
enter into competition with or pursue In
any way an organized policy against ex-
isting booking combinations. They say they
have united to form an agency through
which their own and outside attractions
may secure bookings independent of the
existing combinations and that the indie
pendent agency is not formed for pecuni-
airy gain.
The Independent agency begins with
eight attractions on its books, including
Mrs. Fiske, Henrietta Crossman, James
X. Hackett in THE Crisis" and Isabel
Irving in a special company for "The
Crisis" and Mistress Nell' and Captain
Mollle."
