MIXING FERTILIZERS.
Some SuRgestlOn AZ to the PrOpOr-
lions of FertiIixing Mixtures
for Corn and Cotton.

We have so many inquiries about
mixing fertilizers for different crops
and soils that we wish to say a few
words of suggestion on that subject.
The color of the soil does not
amount to anything. Corn or cotton
will require the same help on red OF
gray land. Crops do not feed on sand
or clay, so that we see it is not the
clay or sandy soil that affects the
fertilizer needed. Fertilizers are used
simply to increase the available plant
food for the immediate crop on
which they are used.
We do not say that all soils are ex-
actly the same in respect to the plant
food they contain, but they are very
nearly the same. Previous culture
and the rotting of vegetable matter
and the state of pulverization each 10
influence the solubility of the ele-
ments of plant food in soils. And
these may cause some difference in
the kind and quality of fertilizers
needed. :.
Corn tequires good supply of pct
ash and phosphoric acid and a very
little nitrogen. If the soil is in good
condition, deeply broken and not
leached, it will generally supply the
nitrogen. If it has been in peas or
clover it will have plenty.
We need to look out for the phos-
phoric acid and the potash.
A good mixture for corn should
contain 12-1A-5. To get this we
mix: 1850 lbs. IA to Is per ct. acid,
$50 lbs. nitrate of soda, 200 lbs. mu-
rate of potash; or: LOO lbs. acid,
100 lbs. nitrate, 200 lbs. muriate, &C
cording to the condition OF the soil.
But as very many farmers can not
get nitrate and muriate, they must
do the best they can with c. s. m. and
kainit. To such we suggest: 1900 lbs.
acid, 300 lbs. c. S. n, 500 lbs. kainst.
This gives us 8h-1A-31a, nearly the
same proportion, but lower grade
goods.
We have often said that in our ex-
perience it has not paid us to buy nj
trogen. Cotton seems to get this It
the other elements are properly SUI
pllcu. hcuC0, AOE ILLS CIOp use uuCA
the same as for corn, 12-1-5. Mix:
100 lbs. a. p, 100 lbs. nitrate, 200 lbs.
muriate; or, 1900 lbs. a. p, 200 lbs.
c. S. M, 600 lbs. kainit.
These will suit on the majority Of
fields. Each farmer must use good
common sense and judgment as She
varying conditions demand. It is very
difficult to suggest any formula that
will suit land that is plowed only
three or four inches. No fertilizer Is
worth anything to any crop without
water to dissolve it and feed it to the
crop.
Hence the water supply is very
material point. This very often
changes the whole thing. We advise

HERE AND THERE.

A lazy hen is never laying hen.
To have your hens lay well, you must
make them scratch or work for their
food. Therefore scatter the grain
well.
When cotton sells for ten cents
per pound is good time to cut down
the acreage for the next crop. When
the price is low, increase the acreage
unless there is some other more prof
liable crop you know how to handle.
Look over the fruit and shade
trees, and especially the cedars, for
cocoons of the bag worm, and gather
and destroy every ohe. They will be
found suspended by one pointed end
from the smaller branches of the
tree.
-Encilage Of corn, sorghum, pea
vines or alfalfa is an excellent feed
for hogs when pasturing is imprac-
ticable. With three or four pounds
of grain and all the ensilage they will
eat brood sows will keep in excellent
condition.
When we see team Of poor,
bony horses, with great patches Of
hair threshed off with cruel whip,
we would not give much for them,
but we have more respect for them
than for the two-legged brute who
drives them.
There is in the United States
about twenty per cent. of the area
unfit for farming under present con-
ditions, but well suited for goats.
This land is cheap and Angora breed

AND PLANTER
THE SOUTHERN STAPLE.
Methods Of Marketing the Cot
ton Crop Of the south.

It is my desire in this brief article
to present, in outline only, an idea
relative to an improvement upon the
present method of marketing our
staple crop.
l am only one-horse cotton-grow-
er myself, so it is my hopes that what
l have to say upon this line may
reach some deep thinking and influ-
entail planter who may think it prac-
ticable. In this efforts, am actuated
only by feeling of deep interest il
the welfare of our southland, and in
the success of my neighbors and
more especially of my boys, for whom
I have no higher ambition than that
they become successful tillers of the
soil
The crying need Of the farmers to-
day is cooperation. It is the watch
word to success. This is an age Of
cooperation; every profession, every
line of business has its organization
for mutual protection, with one ex-
ception. The farmers alone stand
ununited and therefore weak, for ''in
unity there is strength"
It is natural law for the strong to
prey upon the weak, and this is no
more forcibly illustrated than in the
case of the cotton Spectator and
spinner versus the farmer. The cot
ton spinners have their organizations
for self protection. That they
make the farmer their victim is but
natural and not to be censured.
Now, contend that the farmers
should so strengthen themselves that
they can price their cotton just as the
spinners are able to put their prices
upon the finished products. l sug-
gest that the larger farmers only
(those growing not less than hun
dred bales under their supervisory
form themselves into a corporation,
and have one organization in each
county in all the principal cotton
states. Let these separate organlza-
tons merge into one, with headquar-
tiers at some central point (for illus
tration, say Memphis); and each
county organization operate stor-
age warehouse in charge Of a COM
petent classer. Let each bale be
classed when offered for storage, and
a certificate issued giving the weight
and grade of cotton, this certificate
to be negotiable. To illustrate, sup
pose John Smith has deposited one
bale of cotton weighing five hundred
pounds, grade middling. When this
cotton is sold to spinners, he will be
credited with the net proceeds. On
presentation of certificate, if it has
been transferred to another, the
amount inserted in the blank for that
purpose will be paid the bearer. If
there is balance this goes to John
Smith, the original owner of the bale
of cotton.
The home Office Of the corporation
will publish weekly what each grade,
of cotton is worth. The spinners will
know what the raw material will
cost, without sending their army OF
buyers into the rural districts to
scour the country for same. This
process, it seems to me, would facii-
tate the purchasing Of the raw ma
terial by spinners and be an improve
ment. upon the present mode of mar
keting the crop.

OTHER CROPS TO GROW.
The Southern Farmer Should Not
Depend Upon Cotton Alone AZ
His Money Crop.

Even in prosperous times we should
not depend alone on our staple crops.
Cotton is a profitable crop when it
brings 8 cents or more, but we can't
feel assured of it's remaining at that
price when it has sold so recently at
cents and even less. Now while we
can make living and to spare rails
ing cotton, we should devote some OF
our time experimenting with other
crops, that may be proftably turned
into money in case of a reverse OF
cotton market. First, hops seem to be
profitable crop. In 1899 the hop
crop of United States made an aver
age yield of 1856 pounds per acre, and
had an average value OF 8.3 cents per
pound, or about $40 per acre. Peanuts
in same year made an average yield OF
% bushels per acre, but person
should make a crop that would far ex-
coed the average. At an average val
ue of 81 cents per bushel, of $14.03 per
acre; with lot of vines for fodder,
and land richer that It was before. tho
statistics show well for this crop. Pep
permint in same year made anaverage
yield of % pounds per acre, and had
an average value Of ~ cents per
pound; making one acre on an aver
age give cash return Of $16.94. Only
three states gave any returns at the
last census on the crop. Chicory was
reported as being raised in six states
at an average income of $24 per acre.
1 have only numeratd here the crops
that look to be possible money crops,
for of course every farmer should
raise plenty of the good things OF
the farm to supply his own table Tor
the entire year, and until he does he
can not expect to take his rightful
position in the front ran. The figures
and the data given are taken from
the last census of the United States,
and are as near correct as person
could expect, and 7 give them for
what they are worth, believing that
they will set some one to thinking,
as a word to the wise is sufficient

The Bacon Hog in the Corn Belt.


Many breeders of hogs and profes-
sors of animal husbandry believe that
the hog men of the corn belt can
profitably breed bacon hogs, that is, a
lengthy, rangy animal with large
percentage of side meat, in which the
fat and lean are well distributed. That
these hogs can be raised in the United
States no one denies. Il an animal OF
the proper conformity is chosen and
this animal is fed peas, beans, barley
oats. shorts, ETC., a first-class bacon
hog can be secured. The vital point
however, is whether or not the rails.
