Bargain Week.

That's what people like to read about, and why shouldn't they? For instance: We have just one lot of sleeve ironing boards, the regular price of which is 9 cents each. This week you can have them at 10 cents each at our store; they are the most service able article you can bring into the house nowadays. If you don't believe us ask someone who is using one. ssNuffsed'' Then, again, we have one lot of light caps, different colors, such as the boys like to wear when playing ball or the men folks wear while working in the shop; in fact, we've seen ladies wearing them while taking an automobile dash along Broadway. Now we are going to sell these caps at < cents each while they last, and they are worth 9 cents; therefore, you see we Have bargains galore But the best bargain of all is when you buy a pound of our warranted 50-cent Tea and get four bars of best laundry soap svith it. Then, again, our 25-cent Butter is a bargain because other peo- r,Ie are selling not as good for 28 and 8o cents, therefore. remember the bar gains this week at

WHEN IT COSTS TOO MUCH

Newspaper advertising costs you too much when you try it to-day and stop it tomorrow. So would clerks cost you too much if you hired them for a day now and then. Same with delivery wagons. The wheels of your business must never stop, and the whole ma chinery is out of gear unless the big advertising wheel is always turning.

ern Pines Experiment Farm, Moore
Co., N. O.
Judging from the fact that the
strawberry plants are described as
Unusually luxuriant" it is probable
that they were too luxuriant to set
much fruit. Too great luxuriance
of vines and foliage is an~tagonistic
to the production of fruit.
The cause of this unusual luxu-
rance was probably too much nitro
gen, but as the fertilizer mentioned
contained a comparatively small per
centage of nitrogen, the plants must
have gotten much nitrogen from the
stable manure hat was applied.
If all heterogeneous fertilizers are
withheld from these plants and only
phosphates and potash applied, they
will probably fruit normally at the
next fruiting season, but as the
plants have already been in place
for two growing seasons, it might be
we'll to reset in a new bed.
3. The "brown rot" of peaches
which your correspondent describes,
is due to a fungus, and no method of
cultivation or lack of cultivation
will cure the disease nor will cult
walton or blowing aggravate the di-
sease. The spraying with Bordeaux
mixture is good, but the rotten
peaches should be gathered as fast
as they show signs of rot and should
be entirely buried or, better still,
burned up. No mummy" peaches
should be allowed to hang on the

Sow Rape and Turnips Now.

Turnips should be sown this
month. To make the heaviest yield
they should be planted in drills 2
feet 6 inches apart and be thinned
out after they have made two or
three leaves, SO as to stand about
nine inches apart in the drill. The
land should be finely broken and the
seed be drilled in-about two pounds
to the acre-and be rolled with a
light roller. If sown broadcast it
will take three or four pounds of
seed per acre. Turnips, to make a
heavy crop-we have made thirty
tons to the acre-require heavy fer
~tilization. From ten to twenty tons
of farm-yard manure to the acre
may be applied with advantage, and
in it's absence, or even as a supple

When there are stagnant ponds IN
the pasture in which the COWS stand
up to their bellies fighting flies dur
ing the heat of the day, there IS dan
ger from the milk unless great care
is exercised by the mixer. EXperl-
ments conducted at some of the eN-
pertinent stations indicate that d.
sease germs do not as readily ina
their way into the milk through the
water the COW drinks as has been
generally supposed, but that dirty
udders and bodies and the use OF I'M
pure water for washing the pals
pans, crooks, etc., are prolific sources
from which virulent germs come

trees over winter, for each such
peach contains myriads of spores of
the fungus.
The unusual lu~xuriance of trees
and foliage which your correspond
ent describes aggravates the rot to
a certain degree.
Other things being equal, there
will be less rot on trees which have
made a moderate growth than on
trees which have made a luxuriant
growth.

a valuable addition to the winter -
tions of cattle, sheep and hogs +bo+
an effort should be made to eao,,no

fodder and a pound of cotton-sood
meal per head per day young cattle
can be carried through the winter IN
a constantly improving condition.
Dwarf Essex rape should now bo
seeded for a fall, winter and spring
pasture for sheep and hogs. This
crop is one of the most valuable for
these animals and will make meat
and growth very cheaply. Sow two
to four pounds to the acre broadcast
on well-prepared land and harrow
lightly and roll. Let the plants make
a fair growth before turning stock
on to them, and do not Craze too
closely and they will then continue
to make growth all through the win

pasturage.-Southern Planter for

Trouble With Peaches and Strawberries.

Trouble With Peaches and Strawberries.
Editor Of TIL Progressive Farmer
/ bought of the Greensboro nur-
sery 500 strawberry plants and set
them out in February, 1902, on
mixed soil, clay and sand, the lat
ter predominating. MANFRED with
cotton-seed meal. Set in rows four
feet, about 10 inches in drills. Gull
tivated till September; then barred
off on side and gave a manuring of
horse-stable manure and hilled them
up in December. Covered over the
rows with stable manure, very strawy,
in February, 1903, cleaned out all
weeds, barred off n side, gave a
liberal manuring of guano (com-
posed of acid phosphate, kainit and
cotton-seed meal, equal parts). The
plants were of the Lady Rusk or
Ever-bearing variety.
I got an unusually luXuriant
growth, and continuous blooming,
but got no fruit at all to speak of.
Will some one who knows tell
through The Progressive Farmer
why they did not bear and suggest
a course of treatment for the coming
season?
I'd. l have a few peach trees grow
ing on a high sandy point, well
drained, naturally having an eleva-
ton of six feet or more. Manure
with clover and cow pea vines turned
under with commercial fertilizer.
The trees and foliage unusually
luxuriant, but the peaches rot badly.
l spray with Bordeaux mixture in
dormant state in full bloom and af-
ter, and cultivate them closely. Does
close pIoughing cause them to not
bear, or what does cause it? VIII

Some Farming Notes.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The writer sowed one and a half
bushels of Virginia turf oats on
about one acre of land the eleventh
day of September, 1902. The land
is a very tight red land. Turned un-
der pea vines and in a few weeks af-
ter sowed the oats, and had the land
we'll cut with disk or cutaway har-
row The oats we're remarkably green
all winter and much later ripening
in spring or early summer; other
oats were cut long before these. Cut
and shocked one hundred and sever
dozen bundles to the acre.
Did not put any guano or other
manure on the land in over a year
before. The land had been MANFRED
in other years. I do not think the
land is extra rich.
w had the dry May, as in other
places. Ny ROCKFORD canteloupes
were well MANFRED, and land thor
oughly plowed, Then in a deep fur
row sowed high-grade guano and
bedded on it, running a deep furrow
twice in top of ridge, strewing seed
so as to thin out. Rows we're four
feet wide; plowed once, sowing peas
in middle of the row, No trouble in
selling melons of this kind.
When our farmers get to the in
tensive farming there will be less
complaint about dry weather. Plant
ed corn in dry weather, covering and
then put on rough manure on top
of covered corn. Did not replant
or thin. The corn is quite a success
Now is time to plant onion sets
or SOW seed for early market. Why
not grow turnips more extensively ?
Cows and sheep are fond of them.
We are eating good beef and mutton
at a great cost.
Do not forget to SOW a good rich
lot of rye for spring feed. One of
the mistakes of the farmer is want
of thinking in time to prepare.
Push the work and never let the
work push you. Undertake only
what you can do in the proper time.
Work done too late is a poor bust
ness. Do you want only five hundred
bushels of corn? Begin now for that
next years crop by blowing and
getting up feed for the land so as
to make it on ten acres of land. Let
your neighbors see how you start
and talk with them and get their
ideas, but go only by your own judg-
ment. r. r. MOORE.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
In your August 4th issue, the
above interrogatories propounded by
some one were commented ON by our
veterinarian, DIR. Butler, of the De-
partment of Agriculture, Raleigh,
N. O.. There are statements made.
by DR.. Butler that do him an injus-
tice, and which are calculated to in
validate his entire article with most
cattle ~raisers. For instance, he says,
1T may be stated hat when any
portion of the body can be cut off
and thrown away without causing
any appreciable disturbance of
health, it is safe to conclude that
no invisible disease of this part will
cause serious consequences" Here
DR.. Butler was evidently thinking of
the results of de-horning of cattle
now practiced by some herdsmen.
The Doctor overlooked the fact that
every farmer in the land would array
against this statement the universal
practice of ~castratiOn as performed
on their horses, cattle, and swine
a much more serious operation, yet
one that does not in the least i'm
pair the health of the animals sub
jected to it. The Doctor makes II
other statement the laity will dis
credit or disbelieve-that is, that di-
sease does not produce 'hollow
horn" Though in the nomenclature
of cattle ailments there is no disease
known as "hollow horn" this is GER
tainly a condition or symptom found.
The laity know that when the horns
of their cattle get preter-naturally
cold, and they bore a hole It the base
of the horn and find it empty, there
is a serious disease to treat, for they
know a "hOllOw-hOrn" is unnatural,
abnormal, a diseased condition. An
other fact is, they treat this disease
locally, and always cure it. Whether
the horn was primarily or secondari-
ly effected, certainly one prominent
symptom or condition prevails the
OsseOus matter of the horn has been
absorbed and the horn is hollow. My
only object in referring to DR.. But
ler's answers is to warn him and all
other teachers of high authority to
be extremely careful in laying their
views before the public, and thus
avoid the invitation of just criticism.
A teacher may say a hundred good
things that may be almost wholly
lost by inadvertently making one
statement that offends universal ex-
perience.

The farm labor problem is loom
ing up, and becoming, a frightful
specter, not only at the present, but
the future is greatly obScured by
the same unseemly ghost. In the
West the grain harvest is the try
ing time; the the South it comes
twice a year, at cotton chopping
time and at cotton picking time.
Western farmers have had to pay
$3.50 per day and board for harvest
hands, and hundreds of Eastern col
lege students have spent their sum
mel vacations in the harvest fields
instead of on the. football field or
base ball diamond. Under present
conditions in the South farmers can
hardly afford to pay such prices. 1t
is true that expert cotton plcker5
sometimes earn $3.50 per day pick
ing cotton at so cent per 100 pounds,
but this is paying by the piece for
work actually done. The only rene
dy for this condition is better farm
ing, which will enable the farmer to
pay such wages as will attract the
best class of farm help. It cannot
be done on a cotton and corn farm
under present conditions. 1t is only
high-class farming that a pay for
the class of labor that makes high
class farming possible. Therefore
only progress can solve the farm Ia
Dor question and the farming and
the labor must progress together
