Farmer,

One of the largest SOFA bean grow
crs in Virginia gives the following
strong reasons rs to why he plants a
larger acreage in SOFA beans than in
corn:
SOFA beans are far better for pro-
ducing milk ard butter than corn.
SOFA beans make a larger yield and
cost less per acre to grow than corn.
SOFA beans are nothing like so hard
on land and will make good crop
where corn will be almost n failure.
SOFA beans are very rich in oily mat
ter and are far superior in feeding
qualities to cottonseed meal for stock.
There has never hecn year vet
when SOFA beans have rot been readily
salable at much higher prices than
corn"
The above experience is fully CON
frmed by letters from large SOFA bean
growers, and by every Southern farmer
who has had any extended experience
with SOFA beans.

Of April and middle Of May for best
results

One OF the distinct advantages for
the South Ia the live stock business Is
the abundance and cheapness of the
lands suitable for pastures, meadows
and cultivation.
The kind of cattle to raise Is often a
pcrpleXing problem, but can be as
easily settled rs any other business
proposition Cattle are bred for spc-
cial purposes and knowing the object
you have IN view 1t is simply a qucs-
ton Of deciding what breed will accom-
plish that object The proposition Is
not so easy for those who already have
cattle on hand and decide TO change
breeds. The great bulk of cattle now
OF the Southern farms are Of the milk
breeds with more Jersey blood than
any other. The Jersey is possibly the
extreme dairy type and corresponding
~ farthest from what is desired in
pure beef herd When it is desired to
change either a pure bred. grade or
scrub herd into q beef herd it is best to
begin with the bull. Decide on the
breed preferred, but n registered bull,
and use him exclusively in breeding all
cows for two years; then sell him and
get a new one of the same breed as a
bull should never be bred to his own
calves. Nearly all Southern cattlemen
are welded to the idea that a COW must
be MIXED and on small farms II is
economical to do so. Therefore It is
desirable to select beef herd that are
fair mixers, and the Shorthorns iii the
bill nicely The dual purpose breeds,
such as the Red Polls and DeYons, may
salt others better, but for the large
farm, where the COWS arc to simply
raise their calves and put all their food
into beef the Herefords and Aberdeen
Angus are specially desirable. 1t
should be remembered that any regis
tered bull bred en- common or grade
COWS will mark thrCe-fOurths or more
OF the calves after his type, and the
more ne differs from the COWS in shape,
size and color the more distinctly will
he mark his calves. This has been
demonstrated over and over with the
black polled Angus bulls bred on the
light coloIed thin horned cows SO COM
mon in this section. In some eases
nine-tenths Of the calves come black,
have no horns and show distinctly the

The rossIhillfios of 1rrlantinn.

II it is possible to put Il sufficient
supply of water on to a garden spoJ
il would be an experiment well
worthy any farmers trial. even If it
involves considerable labor and some
expenditure in arranging to get the
water on the land. 4 rich garden
spot with ample water viii produce
enormous yields. The production Of
some Of the Western farms. under
irrigation, is simply fabulous. II it
is concluded to try the experiment Of
watering n one-rourth or one-half acre
patch, little different treatment may
be accorded the soil than where the
natural rainfall is to be depended upon.
In the first place the ground should
be made as rich as possible, for If the
water supply is good there will be TO
danger Of burning the crops In con-
nection with the application OF fertll-
izers and manures. the ground should
be plowed to an extreme depth It
would be n good idea to subsoil the
land: If a subsoil plow is not available,
follow an eight or ten inch furrow
with a heavy bull tongue, loosening up
the ground to a depth OF from twelve
to sixteen inches. II will take some
little experimentation and experience
to become Il successful irrigator even
on the scale of one-half an aero, but the
yield which can be produced will more
than pay for all the work and trouble.
The only question should be, is there
an available water supply? 1t can be
depended upon that an acre will re-
qulre eighteen inches and probably
two feet Of water-two acre feet-that
is, the land will have to be covered
over two feet deep with water during
the growing seasOn.--The Progressive

Rni.fnr Chickens.

Having raised chickens for over forty
years, l have learned something about
the business. l lost whole broods in
my earlier days by feeding soft food,
and letting them run on damp or wet
ground while young. l seldom lose
any now. When about thlrty-six hours
old they begin to pick about for some
thing; then l boil an egg or eggs, ac-
cording to the number; boil fifteen
or twenty minutes. so they are solid to
the core, take out OF the shell, put in
tea cup and cut the egg fine with q
sharp knife about the size of wheat
grains; drop some on Il clean board or
paper, and they will begin to eat; they
prefer that to anything. Feed the eggs
two OF three days, alternating with
dry bread crumbs, or mix the bread
and eggs. When a week old feed small
wheat and cracked corn. The corn
should be ground about the size Of shot,
sitting the fine out through an ordinary
meal sieve. 1t is handy to feed and
does not scour the chicks like soft
feed
Once in two or three days a soft feed
can be given by scalding bran and
meal to a stiff dough; season with &

Coon with Covered Fun.

Those who have raised chickens know
that one Of the troubles with which
they have to contend is keeping the
little ones from being drowned by the
hard and frequent showers Of the
spring. Where broodcrs are used this
trouble is obviated, but, on the other
hand the chicks Ought to be given
some Of the freedom of out doors as
early as possible, so that ev"n brooder-
raised chicks ought to have a run in
the open air. The illustration shows

a design for a coop with a covered
run attached which will prevent any
trouble with the chicks. This run may
be made so as to attach it to the coop
when desired, and may be of any de-
sired dimensions. 1t consists simply
of a light frame covered with muslin.
the frame being built on a slant in the
way shown in the cut. By having
hooks at each corner and eyes screwed
into the corners of the coop, this frame
may be attached in a moment. If the
day looks stormy, simply attach this
covered run to the coop, and you will
then be certain that no harm viii come
to the chicks should u sudden and hard

TIE rRrE FrSIOY POLICY

The Citizens Union and the Republican or
caniEatIon. while working together for the cause
of good government, will be wise TO avoid en-
tangling alliances with bodies which make no
pretpnce Of devotion TO the comparison prin-
ciple and oppose Tammany candidates largely
as an incident in a fractional war.
After removing Messrs. Grout and Fornes
from their ticket, the strength OF the fusionists
lies in putting before the people only candi-
dates who are unQuestionably devoted to their
cause on principle. II organization Democrats
find the work of the Tammany convention too
much for them to stand. and wish TO vote the
fusion ticket. that is their affair; but long
they protest their opposition to the fusion adj
ministratioD and their belief In the partisan
theory OF municipal government. and frankly
avow that their desire for the election OF Mr.
Low is founded only on their resentment a the
III treatment given them by Tammany. With
which they desired 10 work, il is not fitting that
any fusion organization, in making up either
city or borough ticket should enter into ALI
ance with them.
They are perfectly straightforward IN their
aims. To serve their own purposes. for the
preservation of their own organization, they
prefer fusion to a Tammany Mayor, and will
proceed in their own way to take care of them
selves Whatever they do tie fusionists should
make no departure from principle.
