on their attractiveness. This may be
noticed with California fruit, much
of which cannot compete with that
grown in this section, but the neatness
with which the California growers
pack their fruit insures for them a
demand which would not exist if their
fruits we're shipped in a condition
similar to- that which may be seen on
every stall in the markets, as prac-
ticed in the East. 1t will pay to use

Statesville Landmark: Since the
cotton seed oil trust bought up nearly
all the cotton seed oil mills in this
State many small mills have been or
ganized by farmers and others. In
Edgecombe County the other day one
was organized with $4,000 capital,
under the following plan: Each stock
holder agrees to sell the mill 125 bush
els of seed for every share of stock
and unless this is done, barring crop
failure, no dividend can be drawn.
The price paid for the seed is on this
basis. Every 1000 pounds of seed
contain &C gallons of oil, 700 pounds
of meal, 900 pounds of hulls and 90
pounds of lint. From the market value
of these products 81 is to be deducted
and the remaining amount is the price
of The seed. The purpose of this is
to cut off the trust profit and pay the
farmer a good price.

SOCIOLOGY.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
You can't tell a hog by the number
of feet and legs he has. Some have
four, and some have two. The biggest
hog I have ever seen didn't have but
two. Some have hoofs and some have
none.
Some people who don't know any
better think a hog should have a good,
nice dry bed to sleep on in an upper
story, nice running water to drink,
and their fod nice and clean; in other
words, he should not be allowed to be
a hog. The fact is, a hog was intend
ed to be hog, and he should be treated
like a hog, not like a gentleman. He
should have a mudhole to wallow in,
Bible authority, and sleep anywhere
he can. In fact, he ought not to
sleep much. God gave him a rooter
to root for roots.
He should never have anything
clean till a few weeks before he dies.
The flthier he is the more of a hog he
is. Feed him on slops, nasty slOps,
Have your trough too short for the
number of hogs, so they can shove
and push each other for life. Pour
the sIops on his nose. If you miss
his nose it does not do him half the
good. The more he makes you waste,
the more good the remainder does
him. 1t don't cost much to feed a
hog-a little shipstuf in a great deal
of water. Pour it on his nose, and
ears, let him drink himself full, 60
off and lie down In the sunshine, and
an old hen stand by and pick the bran
off his nose, and he will enjoy life and
grow fat. A hog goes in for guam
tity, not quality. One of the most
gratifying things on earth for a hog
is to rub his dirty nose on your Sun
day breeches.
The devil entered into the hog
Bible), and the more you crafty the
devil in him, the faster he develops.
Hog meat is not fit for a civilized
Christian gentleman to eat till it is
well seasoned with salt and red pep
per and received with a good deal of
thanksgiving.
If you want to know anything more
about the hogs, write to your
UNCLE BEN.

Greensboro Record: One of the
new industries in Guilford County is
the raising of sunfowers for chicken
feed. Several farmers have as much
as two acres in them alone. One
stated Saturday that at the present
high price of eggs and chickens he
was making more off them than any
species of farming, and with sum
flower seeds in the winter hens would
lay right on through Christmas. The
grain is also excellent for horses and
mules.

Prof. W, F. Massey: A young man
asks if it will be wise for a young
farmer to take a four year course at
an agricultural college if it takes all
the money he has, and leaves him
without funds at the close. Yes. You
cannot invest the money in anything
that will pay better than a thorough
professional training. 1t is a capital
you cannot lose and which will always
bring in the dividends. Get the edu-
cation if you have to borrow more
money before you get through. "The
world is always on the hunt for men
with educated minds and trained
hands" and the man with the college
training will always be in the lead.

Col. Odds: Col. John S. Cunning
ham, the well-known tobacco grower
of Person County, is here and says
the crop is a good one, and that the
quality appears to be excellent. He
looks for good prices, for three rea-
sons-frst, because there is a small
stock on hand; second, because of the
great and increasing demand, and
third, because of the, sharp competi-
ton which the new companies in the
State will bring about.

July Success: There appears to be
a new field opening up for ambitious
young men. 1t is the field of scien-
tifc forestry,-one of the most i'm
p~ortant matters of the day. The
young forester has prospects of a sal
airy that equals that of the average
college professor. To men of mental
and physical vigor who delight in ma
ture and outdoor life, this would seem
to be a congenial and lucrative occu-
patton. In forested States, the aban-
doned stump lands need scientific at
tention.

HANDLING THE CORN CROP FOR
FORAGE.

At the Virginia State Fair in 1894,
there was exhibited two machines for
husking corn and tearing up the
stalks and fodder; one machine was a
shredder, the other one was a cutter.
Both machines were at work, and their
products could be seen; there was no
choice as to operation, n worked as
nice as the other. I followed the fod-
der to the cattle stalls and there /
found the best judges as to cut or
shredded fodder; the cattle picked the
long blades from the shredded stuff,
but did not eat the split stalks. The
nut fodder was nearly all eaten. That
decided me, and I bought the husker
and cutter. After some years expe-
rience feeding cut fodder I am con-
WINGED that where forage is an item
there is more profit feeding the stalks
in "a to 1-inch lengths than there is
where it is shredded. A month ago l
was on a farm where about fifty COWS
are fed for butter; the owner had
hired shredder and husker last fall to
work up the corn crop not needed for
silage. Has done so for several years.
At the time of my visit his silage cut
ter and engine stood at the barn door.
7 asked what he was cutting. He said
there was so much waste from feeding
shredded fodder that he found it a
gain to run the shredded stover
through the cutter, cutting into 1-inch
lengths; then the COWS consumed
about all of it. When I fed dry fod-
der my plan was to cut about n
inch. About 400 bushels were spread
on a floor, 3 or 4 pounds of salt were
put on the fodder, then 25 gallons of
water, then the meal and bran. All
was mixed with forks, and the mass
thrown in a corner and covered with
burlap, left for - hours, and when fed
it was warm, had q pleasant odor and
the COWS ate erary particle cloSn. l
do not now use the husker. My entire
corn crop is made into silaga, watch
is fed to chickens, cattle, horses and
hogs. I am fully convinced that corn
silage is the cheapest and most profit
able way to handle the corn crop.
However, if / had no silo, or husker,
or shredder, I would cut the corn,
husk by hand and cut the stalks. There
is too much good feeding value IN the
stalks to allow them tt go TO loss. The
corn harvester is just as useful to the
corn crop as the wheat harvester is to
the wheat crop. As a rule, we find
more acres of corr On the average
farm, than wheat. THIS hing So, then
I would say the corn harvester is the
most valuable of the two. I have used
a Mccormick corn harvester four
years. 1t has been a great help to me.
Knowing it's value as I do, I would pay
5000 for one rather than cut the crop
by hand. Eight years ago it was a
rare thing to see a corn crop in shocks
anywhere in North Carolina. Now at
least one-third of the corn is cut and
carefully saved, much of it being
husked and shredded. Some of u
farmers sell hay and feed stover to
their stock. Save the corn crop.-C.

PROPER PACKING PAYS A PROFIT.
Vance Co., n. @.

The following from the Chapel Hill
News can be verified any day in this
market, by examining the fruits and
vegetables sent to commission mer-
chants and those sent from Califor-
MIA. Of course, our vegetables and
fruits being fresher, are better, but
the way they are too often sent in
bulk destroys the effect which neat
packing in quantities not to receive
injury from it's own weight assures.
Peaches and grapes from North Car
DINA nurseries are now shipped as
nicely as other shippers employ and
find as ready sale as the California
fruits at the same prices. We com
mend this from our Chapel Hill con-
temporary as worthy the serious at
tention of all of our farmers who at
tempt to sell such products, and every
farmer ought to sell more or less of
such.
Says the News:
Farmers lose something by not Civ
ing careful attention to packing and
shipping their produce to market.
Where there are nearby markets
and the farmer can haul the articles
and attend to the sales, they can east
ly dispose of their produce to regular
customers, in which cases the ordinary
hamper baskets and crates serve the
purpose well, but when goods are sent

Our Home: DIR. r. Armfeld was
probably the first man in the county
to use cane as a feed for stock. It
was about fifteen years ago. He had
heard that cane would kill COWS,
mules, horses or anything else that
happened to get even a small quantity
of it, but he concluded to try it, and
ne fed it at all stages of its growth.
Finally somebody told him that it was
the second growth that played havoc
with stock. He therefore made a test
by stalking his COWS so as to give them
long range on the second growth cane
and his COWS all lived-and did well.

SUMMER AND FALL CROPS.

These crops are becoming more nu-
r and more valuable every year
and deserve more attention from the
farmers in the way of thorough prep
aration and cultivation. If your soil
is dry, it should be plowed very deep
and made very fine with the harrow.
This is proper no matter what the
crop to follow may be. And it is also
very important to remember what Mr..
T. @. Nye says on this line, that ITO
break up land this month and harrow
it next month is not any farming at
ALL" When the breaking pillow fin
ishes, the narrowing pillow should be
right there. This is the more neces-
sary in the/summer-time because the
hot sunshine is ready to make clods
of all the clay stirred. And the har-
rowing should be repeated every few
days until the crop is ready to be
planted. This is the particular kind
of work to which Sir Jethro TulI re-
ferred when he said: "Tillage is ma
nure." Don't be afraid of the sun
shine; sunshine is the life of the soil.
All corn stubble and grass should be
turned under.
For second crop Irish potatoes, a
good way to plant is as follows: Lay
off rows two feet with Mallory pillow,
run second furrow in these, drop the
potatoes in the bottom of these fur
rows, and cover with subsoiler with
two burrows. After the plants have
come up, then break out the ridge. If
you have any kind of coarse manure
or woods rakings, scatter on top of
the potatoes before covering. This
method will prepare the land cheaper
and cultivate the crop with fewer fur
rows than any we have seen tried.
The Lookout Mountain is especially
adapted to this time of the year, but
several other varieties will do about as
well, the Triumph being very fine for
fall PLANTING. Any time from the
last of July to the first part of August
is good for planting.
For r~utabagas, spread on the ma
nure if you have stable manure. break
the land and bed fiat beds; harrow and
re-harrow until the soil is thoroughly
pulverized, In no crop will narrowing
pay better. The drag is perhaps the
best of all the harrows to finish off
this job with. Then mark off the rows
with the foot of the iron pillow stock
or with a small stick and SOW the
seed any time from now to the Doth of
August. Finish with a roller, press
ing the soil close to the seed. If you
have no better roller, an old barrel
will do quite well, and can be made to
do a great amount of work in the
hands of a sensible laborer.
Use only the yellow varieties, as the
white are hardly worth raising for cat
tie. As soon as the little cabage leaf
is well formed, about the size of a
fve-cent piece, the turnips should be
hOed promptly. This is a very impor-
tant step, and must be attended to no
matter how busy you are. Cultivate
repeatedly, with the dashboard follow
ing, and you shall not be disappointed
with your turnip crop. If you have
no stable manure, then use CONNER
cial fertilizer freely, for turnips pay
for liberal feeding.-J. B. Hunnicutt
in Southern Cultivator.
