pieces of brick as rapidly as it did
through the unbroken brick. The water
has no power to jump from one frag-
ment to another, and it can only pass
from one fragment to another when
they happen to be in contact, and these
roughly broken pieces will be in con-
tact only at their corners. Thus the
passa geway for the water is reduced
TO a mere fraction of it's former ca
pacity. You will also recognize that if
the brick were all broken into frag-
ments we could not get all the frag-
ments into the same space that the
unbroken brick occupied. When We
crumble the surface layers of the soil
we raise the surface level, hence the
water not only has to travel farther
than it did before to get to the sur
face, but its passageway is largely de-
stroyed. By narrowing down the sur
face of our plowed fields or by Guilt
waiting the surface after it has been
compacted together by rains, we form
crumpled layer of soil through
which the water from below can hard
ly rise. The drier this surface layer
becomes the less water can pass
through it.

GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
THINKS HE is "LOCoED."

A Georgian named Whatley, who is
now at Greenwood, S. c., is having a
hard time. He is crazy in the Pal
metto State and perfectly sane in
Georgia At least that is the infor-
nation that comes to Gov. Terrell.
Some time ago Whatley went to Green
wood on a visit and his actions were
said to be so queer that he was arrest
ed for a crazy man. Then it was dis
covered that he was a citizen of Dodge
county, Georgia, and could not be COM
mitted to an asylum in South Carolina.
He was therefore taken to Dodge coun-
ty and tried in the Court of Ordinary.
The jury promptly found that he was
perfectly sane in every respect and
Whatley was released. Now he has
returned to Greenwood, and a letter
from the Ordinary at that place to
Gov. Terrell states that he has begun
mis- queer actions again. The letter
asks that Gov. Terrell send for him.
But the Governor says that the man
has been declared to be sane in Geor-
gia and he can do nothing. Two af1i-
davits from reputable physicians in
Greenwood accompany the Ordnary's
letter to the Governor. The affidavits
state that Whatley is crazy beyond a
DOUBT.

In company with the Commissioner
of Agriculture of North Carolina and
the director of the North Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station, the editor of the
Practical Farmer visited the fine farm
of Col. ]. S. Carr, near Hilsboro, N.
c., for the purpose of seeing the alfalfa
fields there. says the Practical Farmer.
1t would be a great object lesson to
some who imagine that no good farm
ing is done in the South to visit this
farm and the nearby one belonging to
Mr. Duke of the American Tobacco
Company High farming is being done
on both of these places, and on Col.
Cars place about 100000 have been
expended in the most elaborate farm
buildings to be found anywhere. The
manager assured US that he had been
shipping carload after carload of Alfal-
ia hay West, North and South, and
that all who use 1T unite in saying that
it is the best hay they ever used for
horses or cattle. This would seem to
be a fair answer to the objections one
of our friends in the West has recently
made. The horses on Col. Cars farm,
which are fed on this hay, We're in as
fine order as horses need to be- The
first crop of alfalfa was nearing the
time of the first moking. 1t is not
little pet lot, but wide fields of verdure
that would do stockman good to see,
and those who imagine that alfalfa will
not thrive East because of the rainy
climate should see this magnificent
area getting ready for the mower. 1t
is not new thing either, for the fields
have been in alfalfa for five or six
years The soil on which the alfalfa
is growing is a heavy red Piedmont
clay, like thousands of acres ali over
the Piedmont country east of the Blue
Ridge from the Potomac to Central
Georgia, and the success there had
shows that over all the Southern red
clay uplands this valuable crop may
be grown AS we learn the condition
for success it is evident that alfalfa
has come to stay and will be a leading
forage crop in the East as it has 50
long been in the West. Not, of course,
to the same extent that it has taken
the West where the great diversity OF
forage crops that can be grown in the
East are not possible, but as a great
aid in the tiding over of the droughts
that sometimes affiict us in the raiuy
sections AS the train bore us away
from this farm, we felt the victory has
been won for alfalfa in the East

value of Pasture for Pigs.

A recent bulletin of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture quotes G.
w. Waters as follows:
I'VE will now state two propositions
bearing on economy of production
First, while the pigo is not considered
primarily grazing animal, from the
fact that he cannot be expected to
make gains and grow fat if turned
onto, common pasture grass like cat
tie, sheep or mules, yet, as a matter
of fact, the pig will make better re-
turns for the amount of grass eaten
than any other farm animal More
over, the pasture will increase the eff
cheney and value off the grain fed in
connection with it. The second propo-
sition is this: The pig is a grass feed
er and will eat too much of rich feeds
as grain, more than he can use eco
nomically more than he can digest
well, consequently greater gains from
a given amount of corn are obtained if
the pig is fed less than he can or will
eat. This statement applies with es-
pecial force in cases of a long feeding
period. The two propositions just an
naunced are brought out in the follow
ing report of tests made at the Wis
consin station, six lots of pigs being
used:
Lot l, full fed, in a dry lot, gained
lis pounds per day and used 527
pounds of corn in making 100 pounds
of gain.
Lot 2, full fed, on clover pasture.
gained 100 pounds per day, and used
All pounds of corn in making 100
pounds of gain.
Lot 3. 'three-fourths full, on clover
pasture, gained 1.20 per day. and used
81 pounds of corn in making 100
pounds of gain,
Lot 3, one-fourth full, clover pas
ture, gained ga pounds per day, and
required 24S pounds of corn to make
100 pounds of gain.
Lot 5, no gain, clover pasture
gained SO pounds per day.
I'm lot there is a sudden drop over
lot l in the amount of corn required
But in lot 3 there is a still larger drop
Nearly three bushels less of corn is
required to produce 100 pounds of gain
over dry lot feeding. For growing hogs
still larger reduction of corn is adj
visable. The rate of gain is slower,
but it is vastly cheaper. 1t is, how
ever, wise practice to full feed for the
last thirty days before marketing"

came together an argument ensued,
during which the elder Safo stated that
he intended to kill Burnett. Burnett
replied by raising his rifle and shoot
ing the elder Safo through the heart.
No sooner had this been done than
the son came to the defense of his
father, raising his gun and firing point
blank at his fathers slayer. Strange to
say, the shot failed to take effect, al
though at close range. and Burnett
again brought his rife into play. shoot

TiIlage Retains Moisture.

No doubt many farmers would give
more frequent and more thorough Gull
tivation of crops in dry seasons if they
knew better what the theory as to its
conserving moisture is. The following
clear explanation was made by the late
Prof. Croft:
Scientists tell us that we have rain
fall enough during the year for the
largest crops if we could only save it,
The statement has often been made
that we can save water by tillage.
This has been proclaimed from col
lege rostrums, written and reiterated
| through the agricultural press, harped
and chanted at farmers Institutes UNI
til to many of us the subject has be-
come stale. l suppose that most of
you accept the proposition on faith,
but you do not know, how much of real
ity or tangibility there is in it. Some
times you will doubt the truth of it;
you would like to see some proof; you
do not understand it. Flowing the land
seems to make it dry faster; you want
more evidence; YOU are open to convic-
ton.
When we hear the theory expounded
it seems all right. BY blowing the land
we make a million little cisterns be-
meath the surface. These catch the wa
streams and running off Especially is
this true on nearly level ground. But
when the sun comes out. will not this
water dry out as fast as it came? Ger
tainly it would, if we permit it to.
The theory that tillage saves mois-
ture is simple enough. Suppose this
book which l hold in my hand were
brick. If i were to wrap brick in
impervious waXed paper and set the
brick in a shallow pan of water you
all know that the water would grad
ually work up through the brick until
the top end became wet, and then it
would begin to evaporate from the up
per end of the brick. Now, suppose we
slip the brick out of the waxed pa
per and break it into pieces the size
of kernel of corn, then dry these
fragments over a fire and pour them
back into the waXed paper case again
We can readily understand that the
water will not creep up through the
