Tobacco Growers Pleased.

Tobacco growers are happy over the
prospect of vigorous competition with
the American Tobacco company. The
American company went to England to
compete with the Imperial company,
or, in fact, to try to monopoliZe the
tobacco trade in England, as it has
almost done in this country. Now the
Imperial company returns the compli-
ment and comes over here to build fac
tories and put buyers on the market in
competition with the trust. Two large
factories are to be built by the English
men in North Carolina and one in Vir-
ginia. The competition will benefit the
growers of the tobacco crop.-Practical

trust was formed. Great Thunder, a
leading financier of the Winnebagoes,
was elected president. Great Thunder's
speciality is making bows and arrows.
Green Rainbow and Prairie Chicken,

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Good Seed For the Farm.

One Of the most important things to
tory crops on the farm Is the obtaining
of suitable seeds and of the best varie-
ties for the purpose, says a writer in
the American Cultivator.
If all other things are properly at
tended to and this neglected, inferior
results may be expected.
First, seeds should be adapted to the
locality, climate and soil. All kinds of
crops will not flourish alike under all
conditions or in all parts of the United
States. 1t is always safest to grow
those kinds that are adapted to any
particular location, as they will usual
ly give the best results.
1t will do to obtain seeds from
more northern or colder climate, but
it is hardly safe to take them north
from the south, as they will not be so
likely to mature a crop owing to a diff
ference in season and climate.
Seeds in any locality may be greatly
improved by careful selection and
propagation. Particularly is this the
case with corn. A good variety can
be well kept up in its original charac-
telistics and even improved in some
respects, as earliness, uniformity, pro-
ductiveness, etc, by this careful atten-
tion to selection from year to year.
Valuable varieties are often obtained
in this way, emitting them to the des-
ignation of pedigree or thoroughbred.
Peach Crop Improved by Thinning.
With the favorable reports that have
come from most peach belts indications
point to fairly good peach crop this
season. The product can be greatly
improved in quality by judicious thin
ming. Many growers have been back
ward about adopting this method, but
most experienced up to date fruit grow
ers practice thinning regularly. No
orchard work pays better. The quality
of the fruit is much improved and
brings top prices on the market The
time for thinning depends somewhat
upon the variety and locality. Most
growers thin when the fruit is about
half an inch in diameter. 1t is usually
done in June or July in the more north
ern belt, but in the south it is practiced
quite regularly much earlier.
The distance between peaches left on
the branches varies from three to ten
inches on well matured trees. Smaller
trees from two to three years of age
fruiting for the first time are frequent
ly thinned quite severely to promote
more rapid growth and greater wood
development. What is commonly known
as the June drop must be taken into
consideration, and thinning must not
be too severe before this period. This
is due largely to the attacks of the
curculio.-American AgricultSrist

Ostrich Eaqs as Food.

Ostrich eggs are only a twelfth the
cost Of hen eggs. that Is, SO far as
South Africa Is concerned. Hen eggs
cost rs cents q dozen, but ostrich eggs,
each Of which Is equivalent to 20 or
"a hen eggs, cost 10 cents. When re-
uuired for use the housewife makes a
small hole in the top of the egg. The
quantity required is shaken out, and
the shell containing the remainder IL
corked up, as though it were a bottle.
So treated, the contents Of the egg
keep quite a long time when care is
taken to place the corked shell in a
cool place.
The authorities have strictly prohib-
tied the expectation Of ostrich eggs,
but the birds have been acclimat.sed
to South Africa. An American has
also founded an ostrich colony in the
south Of France, at Nice. The results
are that South Africa has dangerous
rivals in the field, and that ostrich
eggs may soon figure Oh our breakfast
tables.

A Standing Reproach.

The scarcity Of good fruit trees on
many farms is q standing reproach to
the owners Of said farms. A pound Of
pecan nuts planted in October or No
vember in the right place will 5000
give pecans in abundance. Then tie
ordinary chestnut will flourish on all
the Piedmont hills. Save seed from
good peaches and plant them in Octo-
Der. Cultivate them we'll next summer
and you will have large trees to plant
the following year. Be sure to plant
out a few choice apple ind pear trees
this winter. .Remember that n good
orchard and a good garden are the
chief factors in 4 good living. How
could a table be made attractive with
out fresh vegetables and choice fruits?

would have been necessary TO purchase
one pound Of nitrogen will buy about
three pounds of p~hosDhoric acid or OF

In the writer's opinion the most
promising method OF increasing the

Of cotton culture IS by 4 more general
use of leguminous plants as fertilizers.
These invaluable allies are by some
farmers utilized and appreciated. but
their use might be increased twenty

crop, to the permanent upbuilding OF
the soil and TO the filling OF the farm

ShYsddinr vs.. Failing Fodder.

That the cornstalk Is a valuable hay
miami has been settled. 1t is no longer
a matter of controversy. Shredded
corn hay is about as good as any other
hay. This crop does not have to e
planted and made. but Is already
made. 1t is simply a question Of TAX
ing care Of what you have on hand.
There are millions Of dollars worth
OF cornstalks standing in the fields or
the South. ready to be made into first
class food. There is from one to two
tons per acre Of this hay standing In
every corn field in the South. 1t Is
plainly your duty to cut and save II.
To those of you who have not yet
pulled fodder, We wish to say that 1t
is cheaper to cut and shred. than 1t Is
to pull fodder. 1t does not injure the
corn to cut the c%ornstalks, but actually
helps it.
Numerous experiments carefully
made, prove ~conclusively that the CORE
fills out better and weighs more when
cured in this way than when permitted
to stand in the field. The stalks made
into hay are worth nearly as much as
the grain, so that you about double
the value of your corn crop by shred
ding the stalks.
To those Of you who have already
pulled your fodder. We wish to say the
stalks are yet worth saving and shred
ding. While it is true that You have
lost something and spen-.,,m""'n= in
pulling the fodder, yoa.c>. . save
your stalks. Prompt attentit.!T 20 his
matter will go a long way toward sup
ply.lg roughage for the cattle through
the winter.
So We again say with all the en-
phasis that We know how, cut your
corn and shred it into hay instead Of
pulling fodder. Learn a new and bet
ter way instead Of following in the
old one.
We are not able to go or with u
old-fashioned, wastefu. ways of farm
ing. We must learn to practice more
economy.-Southern Cultivator.
