Fertilizer swlndlers,

The rapid increase In the use of
commercial fertilizer in Missouri has
brought into the state as skillful q
lot of swindlers as ever operated the
gold brick" scheme upon unsuspect-
ing farmers. Ashes, sand and other
cheap substances are mixed together,
nicely sacked and labelled and sold to
the farmers as high grade fertilizers.
So common has this practice become
that the agricultural department OF the
University of Missouri is preparing .
vigorous campaign against the manu-
facturers and distributors of this spu.
rious article who place their goods
for sale on the Missouri market. A
new officer, known as the fertilizer
inspector, has been appointed, and it
will be his duty to travel over the
state and inspect the fertilizers of.
ferod for sale, and properly label those
found of good quality. Wherever dis.
trilyuters or manufacturers are found
defrauding the farmers, the evidence
secured by the university will be
placed in the hands of the prosecuting
attorney in whose county the sale was
male, and he will be assisted in pros"
ecuting the swinjlers. - Midland

The South Carolina farmers are fac
ing grave crisis this season on &C.
count of the unprecedented scarcity OF
negro farm labor. This is the case
not only locally but all over the state.
The farmers are facing situation
which they have not been called upon
to face for many years.
Where the negro labor has gone Is
difficult to tell. One theory is tnat the
10000 men employed in railroad WORN
in Virginia partly accounts for the
scarcity. Another is that so many
negroes have gone north that the
south has been depleted. Things have
come to such pass that many white
mill operatives are returning to their
former homes in the county, owing to
the big advance in farm labor wages.
There is considerable land lying idls
in this section by reason or scarcity
of labor.-N. o. Picayune.

trogen and potash a. food. Nitrogen
bought In fertilizer mixture costs
too much to make II pay on the corn
crop. Now as nitrogen Is most need
ed for the corn crop, we must get It
more cheaply than in complete fer
tilizer to make 1t pay. Through the
aid OF the legume crops and the liber-
al use Of the mineral fertilizers on the
legumes we. can get ali the nitrogen
the crop needs and can not only do
this but can make a proNt out Of the
getting 1t. That is we can, by using
the phosphoric acid and potash liber-
ally in increasing the growth Of le-
gume crop, get a large amount Of for
age for feeding stock and making the
manure the corn crop especially pre-
fers, and can at the same time leave
in the ground nitrogen enough fol. the
following corn crop. It is this feed
ing OF the crop that feeds the stock
and the land at the same time that lies
at the very foundation Of all improve
ment, not only in the corn crop, but in
the productiveness of our soil for all
crops. If every hosd crop OF corn or
cotton has legume crop preceding 1t.
and that legume crop is heavily fertil-
lied with phcsphoric acid and potash,
1t will do the rest. Not only this, but
the legume crops increase the humas
in the soil by means of their roots and
the manure made from feeding the
tops, and the soil is rendered more re-
tentive of moisture and better able to
stand drought. Thus by proper
breeding Of the seed, proper prepara-
tion of the soil and proper fertiliz-
ing Of the plant we can increase ths
corn crop of the south thrcefold or

MODERN ENGLISH SERVANTS
Have Higher Pay, More Holidays and
Fin er Clothes Than in
Former Times.

Times change, and our servants
change with them. The results of the
Lincolnshire May Hiring Fairs, which
extend over about ten days, and lately
came to an end, show that the old-fash-
ioned servant maid no longer exists,
says the London Chronicle.
Each succeeding year recently serv-
ants have demanded and obtained high
er wages, and in the case of domestics
the wages paid for their services are
twice as high as those which prevailed
20 or 80 years ago.
Another direction in which change is
Indicated is the stipulation for regular
weekly holiday as part of the hiring bar
gain. Very few servants will go out to
situations now without the concession
of an afternoon or evening once week,
and in one case girl asked for special
weekly holiday so that she might take
her music lesson.
Again, there is the cycling habit So
many servants on bicycles have never
been seen before as during the recent
vacation. They fioeked into East Ang-
liam towns in considerable numbers,
most of them on prettily equipped up-to-
date machines.
The contrast with the "oldhands" who
remember the May weeks of SO years
ago has been very marked. The agricul-
tural laborer is as well dressed now as
his employer, and the dress of each do
nestle would have provoked the en-
clamation that she was "a fine lady"
in her grandmother's time.
Another of the many noticeable
changes which the servant problem
has undergone is that of securing a
girl who will undertake the duties Of
milking. In SO cases out of every 100
this branch of farmhouse work is now
delegated to the menservants.
Such changes as these, which make
the lives of servants more enjoyable
than formerly. and mark their emanci.
patton from the dull routine Of daily
domestic work, are the inevitable out
come of diminishing supply rather
than the result of effective trade union
organization.

Intensive Farming.

Intensive farming is just the oppo-
site of the ordinary method. 1t is ac-
complished by the free use of stable
manure, supplemented by the use Of
the right kind of commercial fertil-
izers, applied to soil the particles of
which are made as fine as possible
before planting, SO that the fertilizing
materials will be readily assimilated
by the soil, and then by the plants.
BY intensive farming the yield can be
so increased that enough will be re.
allied from each acre to make the
cost of the commercial fertilizers a
most satisfactory investment. 1t Is
the kind of farming that yields the
most pleasure and the largest profits.

HERE AND THERE.

But few farmers In the northern
states rsaiize how much fertilizing the
sandy upland soil in Florida requires
to grow paying crops. Such soil, lack
Ing humus, requires qrtck-acting COM
mercial fertilizers.
Dirt in milk makes more undesir-
able butter than all the wrong meth
DDS of working. No perfection ! Of
working out buttermilk and working

Aim to keep hogs for profit; that
is what everybody keeps them for.
Some are doing it, and some are not.
The only way to successfully raise
hogs or to succeed in any other occu-
patton, is to study and observe the
work.
One of the first requisites of tbs
m odern farmer is to maintain the fer
tility of his land. His land is like
bank. The bank will not have any
thing in it unless it is put there. The
soil will give what 1t has received, and
can give no more.
