Good Farming.

An acre well attended viii return
more than two acres indlfferently at
tended, says Southern Farm Magazine.
This Is true, whether devoted to cereal.
vegetable or fruit. An intelligent COM
prehension Of what the grain, the plant
or the food requires. and knowledge
Of what the soil contains, that the
plant food be properly supplied, is the
first requisite, and the second not less
important requisite is proper tillage.
The thrifty horticultural who lives in
his garden, feeding his plants, and con-
stantly on guard to rout the vegetables
enemy whether germ, worm or weed,
is the man that makes the single acre
turn into his till as large net revenues
as many Indifferent farmers can secure
from hundred acres.
The intelligent orchardlst who knows
the treatment his trees need and the
soil upon which they feed, and keeps
a vigil over each fruit bearer, when
the frulting time comes can secure his
product in perfection, and his returns
are larger by far than come from
orchard or vineyard many times larger
owned by those who permit weeds to
associate with tree and vine, giving no
thought other than to expect fruits
from weed and thistle patch.
The new era Of farming and fruit
culture is particularly noticeable In
the South, where attractive truck
farms flank prosperous industrial CEN
tres, and well.kept and well.attended
orchards yield their abundance of in
comparable fruits, where thrifty farm
crs till less land, and do it better, and
get greater rewards than wasting time
over large'areas.

ahead as possible, thus allowing their
waste to fall exactly where they would
stand when feeding. The little device
shown in the illustration in no way
interferes with the arching of the
spine but does force the cow to draw
back instead Of pushing ahead; thus
the gutter back Of the COW catches the
filth and the floor remains clean.
There is no rule to give for the ex-
act placing of the structure, as differ
ent breeds Of cattle differ so in height
and length; however, piece No. 2
should be located just back of upper
point Of shoulders, and from one and
one-half to two inches above the back.
This gives a chance for free movement,
and in no way interferes with the
comfort Of the COW. My cows are Jer-
seys, and frame is just twenty inches
from the stanchions, No. is a block
on which to fasten No. 2. No. 3 is the
upright, which should extend to the
Joint above, and there be fastened.
No. A is the brace for the support Of
the frame, and should be nailed very
firm, as the COW will break the trap If
she can. No. 5 is the gutter.-Ameri-

Currying Horses.

Few persons think there Is much
knack in currying a horse. They viii
find 1t wen, however, to observe the
following suggestions:
The curry-comb should not be harsh
~ applied to the skin, but be used more
to clean the brush. There is no need
Of scratching the back hard enough
to open the coat, and start up a cloud
Of unnecessary dandruff. The action
Of the brush is merely to loosen the
scales from the cuticle and allow them
to be removed by the dandy brush.

over the cost Of fertilizer, taking the
value Of corn at fifty cents per bushel
and slower at So per ton, was $11.54,
which was nearly five times more than
the value Of the increased yield on any
other plot. This great value as a ferti-
llzer comes largely from the fact of the
wonderful power of the plant to gather
and store nitrogen from the atmos-
phere. Or. Stubs told us some time

Velvet Benna.

When mentioning this crop as one Of
the forage crops which can be success
fully grown in the South, we remarked
that it was, in our opinion, better fitted
to be grown as a soil-lmproving crop
than for feed, as it is such a rampant
grower that it is exceedingly difficult
to cut and harvest. In confirmation Of
this, we observe that the crop was
grown at the North Carolina Test
Farm at Tarboro last year, and turned
down as a preparation for a corn crop.
The result was that the plot so treated
produced the heaviest yield Of corn and
slower of all the plots tested. The
yield Of corn on this plot was $3.50
bushels per acre, and Of stover 22s0
lbs. Next best yield was on plot on
which a complete fertilizer had been
applied following a dressing of lime in
1900. On this plot the yield was 25.40
bushels per acre. and 1900 lbs. Of
stover. The next highest yield was

Make This Experiment.,

Very often when we urge certain
new methods on the farm, We are met
with this argument: "That will do very
well for the rich man or for the large
farmer, but does not suit the man Of
small means"
Here is one thing that certainly does
suit the small farmer, He, Of all 9TH
ers, can and should raise hogs for
home use, IL not for sale, But why not
for sale2 He must do something to
make a living. Raising hogs Is easier
and cheaper than raising cotton, and
the profits in the business are surer and
larger.
Very often after hard years work
you have nothing left when you sell
your cotton crop. 1t has cost oil it
brings TO raise 1t. This is not true Of
hogs, they can be raised very cheaply
and sell for a good profit.
The man who raises hogs ia rarely,
II ever, found in debt; the man of small
means who raises cotton, with meat
bought on a credit, is almost always In
debt
Try hog raising and see how you
come out.
1t requires but comparatively little
capital to stock a farm with hogs, and
1t takes but n short time to con.
vert the crop into money. This is why
we consider swine raising adapted to
farmers with limited means. In the
spring and summer large numbers can
be raised upon grass, clover, rape end
ground grain made into a slop or por-
ridge. In the fall, as soon as the corn
is sufficiently matured, they can be
fattened, and thus the entire crop Of
corn and pasture can be marketed by
the LIST of October.
One requirement In raising swine is
plenty of good water and a moderately
large range. Where hogs are too close
ly confined, disease is liable to set In.
They also require close attention and
regular feeding.-Southern Cultlyator.
