The Small Farmer Must Farm In

The Small Farmer Must Farm In
tensiveIy.
The small farmer-not small because
he is only "5 foot 2" but because Of
his farming in small way, at the
most not running more than two
plows. should farm as intensively as
possible He should leave it to the
big farmer-big not because he is "6
foot a." but for the reason that he
runs many plows on many acres-to
try to cultivate thirty acres or more
to the plow The latter may be only
too glad to figure on bale to two
acres, perhaps three, or on ten bush
els of corn per acre and other things
in like proportion. The big farmer
may, if the seasons prove favorable,
clear some s., 900. or a little more say,
from his fifteen or twenty plows. Some
rare exception may do it from ten, and
may have cause to be satisfied if he
an exception. But the small farmer,
with his one or two plows, can not
afford to be content with anything
like this average to the pillow. In one
way or another he must get at least
$500 from each pillow or he will not
make a decent living for a family. No
man of energy and intelligence proba-
bly, would undertake farming as a life
work if he were assured at the start
that even $500 profit per pillow was the
very most that was possible from the
two or three-h horse farm. OF course,
it depends upon the quality Of the soil
and upon the nature of the crops
grown and the intelligence displayed
whether the small farmer will clear
5000 or $500 or $500 or 81 900 to his one
or two plows, as the case may be. The
man with poor upland cannot do what
the man with rich lowland does, and
he cannot do at the start, perhaps
what he should and will do after
few years experience, and after he
has had time to improve the land by
a few humus crops. If he is an intel
ligent man he is bound to see the need
for keeping a certain number of cat
tie and for these pasture will have to
be provided. And land in pasture is
bound to grow richer year by year If
treated with any consideration what
ever.

Growing Crops Need Nitrogen.


The science of agriculture has made
wonderful progress during the last
twenty-five years. Agricultural chem
istry has taught us. the composition
OF soils and the elements necessary
to fertility, says an exchange. The ex-
pertinent stations have contributed
much valuable information to the far
mer in showing him what elements
growing crops require and how to
utilize the elements so that the plants
can utilize them. The bulletins have
shown the necessity of having nitro
gen in the soil if good crops are to be
expected. They have shown how this
element is a great vital force in plant
life, stimulating it to greater growth,
and in any of its combined forces 1t
gives depth of color and healthS'
growth to plant life.
Nitrogen is absolutely necessary to
plant life and their growth depends
upon it, If plenty in the soil-luxuri-
ant growth if deficient-stunted
growth. 1t abounds in great profusion
in the atmosphere. The leaves and
bodies of all plants are bathed in a
great ocean of 1t, and yet though it
is so necessary to their lives and ex-
lists all around in such great profu-
sion, they can not absorb ii through
the leaves it must be in combination
to be appropriated by the plant must
come through the soil and be taken
up by the roots and through the sap
conveyed to all parts of the plant,
where it is deposited, and enters into
plant structure.
Though so abundant in the air 1T
I does not enter the soil unless II be
moved from its abiding place. A small
amount is brought to the soil by the
rain, but the amount is not large, and
If there is no other source from which
the plants could get it, they would
make feeble growth. There is large
amount of nitrogen in the soil held in
the form of nitrogen, and when these
forms are dissolved they release the
nitrogen and the plants take it up
through the roots and use it. These
nitrates. these compounds, are dissolv-
ed by the air, the wind and the sun,
and large amount of the nitrogen
evaporates and passes off into the at
mosphere, unless it be held in the soil
To do this the ground should always
be covered with some kind of cover
ing. If ground be plowed in the early
fall. a light crop of oats should be
sown to cover 1t.
This nitrogen is very expensive when
in a commercial form, costing Is cents
pound. Being so expensive and so
essential to plant life, the farmer
should carefully preserve it,
While we said that nitrogen was
plentiful in the air. and that although
the plants were in an ocean of it. they
could not get particle of ii from the
atmosphere through their leaves. Ma
ture who always tries to supply all
that plant life needs, has provided a
! set Of plants that have the power to
gather in this nitrogen from the air
| and store II in the soil in the roots
OF those plants. These plants are call
ed the leguminom crops like the Glow
ers etc. By raising these crops the
farmer can supply the nitrogen TO the
! soil and raise good crops on soil that
! only raised poor ones before these
| leguminous crops were raised. The

Much has been said of late in this
department of the paper regarding the
complete nutrition of hogs upon nj
trogenous rations in addition to ju-
dicious use of corn. but we wish to
add a word on the subject of succu-
lent food says the Farmers Review.
Many have already changed their old
methods of feeding and now under
stand that corn alone is dangerous
food for young growing pigs, and in
deed for all hogs except mature ami
mails being fattened off rapidly for
market; but there are few apparently
who appreciate the value and neces-
sity of some food that will keep the
bowels in proper working order Dur
ing the summer season rape has been
fed off on the field and has served to
regulate the bowels and possibly fur
nish some additional nutrition, a point
which is, however, in dispute at pres
emit. Now that the rape crop is used
up, pumpkins furnish a beneficial
change Of fare and besides opening
the bowels are found effective to a
certain degree in Kidding hogs of in
testinal parasites. Some breeders, too.
have provided turnips and beets, but
both of these crops require more at
tention and work than can be profit
ably afforded by the average farmer.
and for that reason can scarcely be
accounted popular sources of succu-
lence outside of the special districts:
such as parts of Canada where roots
have long been a staple article for
animal nutrition. There is, however.
a crop that is easily grown and which
has not commonly entered into the
calculations of the hog feeder. We
refer to sorghum which would be
found one Of the best and most rel
ished feeds for swine if properly pre-
pared and combined with other nu-
tritious foods. Many have cut their
patch Of sorghum and are not we'll
advised as to what will be the best use
to which this food can be put. To
such we would advise that it be cut
up fine for hogs and fed along with
ration of milk, middlings and d.
gester tankage or dried blood meal,
the latter not to exceed 10 per cent.
Of the feeding ration. Where sorghum
is to be utilized in this way it should
be put in large shocks containing say
twenty bundles and tied twice to keep
II standing. Each day what is re-
quired should be cut fresh for the hogs.

OF the work. 1t must be cut fine and

Farm NOtcs-Wheat After Sweet
Potatoes.

There is no question that sweet po-
tatoes are more of a renovating crop
than otherwise. They are as little
exhaustive of nitrogen as any crop
grown on the Southern farm. 1t is
poor farmer or a farmer with very
poor land that would be satisfied with
less than $50 bushels of potatoes per
acre and such crop only requires of
the soil the following number of
pounds of the three essential elements
of plant food. Nitrogen thirty seven
pounds, phosphoric acid. fourteen
pounds. potash, ffty-fve pounds. If
the vines are returned to the soil this
would be all that crop of $50 bushels
of potatoes would take from it. Any
good arabic soil-such as would yield
a half bale of cotton or fifteen bush
els of corn. would afford easily this
much of plant food without the APP
plication of any commercial fertilizer.
1t would only need good cultivation
to make such a crop.
On account of the dense shading of
the soil that the vines give from July
to October, there is n constant forma-
ton of nitrates in the soil during those
months, and once the soil is covered
with vines. there is no danger of the
crop suffering for available nitrogen"
the remainder of the season.
1t is a wise provision of nature that
there is at no given time any great
superabundance of plant food in a
soluble condition. There are certain
conditions that regulate this, the chief
of which depends upon the supply of
hurnus in the soil. The more of this
present in the soil the greater elabora-
ton of soluble nitrogen Phosphorus
and potash there will constantly be.
Intelligent farmers observed long
ago that the crop that followed sweet
potatoes was almost invariably good
even if that crop was not started UNI
til spring. But it is much the best
plan to SOW some crop on the land
as soon as the potatoes are taken off.
And the crop of all others most adapt
ed to the purpose is wheat. over a
large section of the South. November
has been found the best month for
sowing wheat. Put in properly then
it rarely fails. Sown at once 1t gets
a good hold on the soil before the
severe cold of January. 1t makes use
promptly of the available elements
prepared by the sweet potato crop and
prevents these from being washed by
the winter rains 1t is good rota-
ton, wheat after sweet potatoes.

SUIT OVER A PATENT.

filed at Barlow by John Henderson, a
machinist employed at Col. Beaty's
phosphate plant, who claims that Col
Beatty is indebted to him in the sum
of $25,000 that being the value of a
one-half interest in letters patent on
certain apparatus for mining phos-
phate. The declaration specifies that
application for this patent was filed
by the defendant in the Patent Office
of the United States on June T. 1901,
the serial number being 6S,O55, and that
letters patent issued thereon on
Oct. g. 1902, numbered 740,731. 1t is
further claimed that the defendant for
value received, then and there orally
promised to convey to the plaintiff
but, Notwithstanding that promise, it
is alleged that the defendant has fail
ed and refused to convey the one
half interest to the plaintiff although
the plaintiff has made repeated de-
mands upon him therefor.

Thomas A. Briggs, a bayman, lost his
life at Pensacola Thursday. Briggs
was on a small raft hooking on tim
Der that was floating alongside the
ship, when it would be hoisted on deck
and lowered into the hold. A large
piece of timber, which had been hoist

Reer Steinn.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Some beer stems are made in this
country, but they do not cut any figure
In the trade. Germans, who are the
principal buyers of stems, know an i'm
ported from a domestic article as a
gardner knows his flowers. A man
who has spent his youth in Germany
especially if he knows anything of the
student life, can tell by merely glancing
at a stein, in what part of the father
land it was manufactured.
The largest stems imported hold
about eight pints of beer. In Germany
they are used in beer halls patronized
by university students at Heidelberg
and elsewhere. In this country the
Germans buy them for presents. The
greatest compliment one German can
pay another is to present him with one
of these highly decorated stems, on
which is implanted a familiar picture
in colored clay of his boyhood home,
the home of his ancestors, or some in
cident in German history.
Anywhere from $50 to $50 may be
spent on a stein of this sort, and the
manufacturers in Germany give such
a wide variety of their native scenery
that very few stems are made to or
der
The smallest stein holds exactly one
eighth of pint. These are seldom
seen in barrooms or rathskellers even
for exhibition purposes. They are pre-
scented to children in families, just as
the English and Americans present
china and porcelain cups, with the
name of the baby printed thereon in
ornate colored letters. These small
STEMS like the large ones, generally
record some incident in German litera-
ture, and sometimes cost almost as
much as the big ones. Two dollars for
a small stein of this description is a
very moderate price to pay.
All imported stems are porcelain
lined. The cheapest sort, such as are
ordinarily kept in bars in ice packed
tAbs during the summer, cost about is
cents each. There is heavy duty on
them.
