The pub lie school term in Gov
ington will probably be brought to
a close in March. There are over
$50 pupils IN attendance, and with
small fee from each one, the
school can he continued till the
end Of the term. There are five
teachers, hence it will require only a
sum of about one dollar a month
from each pupil, which would not
be felt by the parents, while the
advantage to tie children would
be infinitely greater than the small
outlay, and can not be computed
in dollars and cents.

One of the most enjoyable events
of the season was the leap year
party given by the young ladies at
the Pavilion last Friday night,
complimentary to young gentlemen
of Covinglon and vicinity. The
monogram, NJ. K. y. n, in large
letters, was suspended over the
trout OF the stage. We are not at
liberty to tell what these letters
signify. The opening number was
grand march by the young ladies',
who wore pink masks aud pink silk
empire suits, aud was charmin gly
executed. Then the young gentle
men, who were seated on the stage,
were called GU, by their fair enter
tanners, to participate in the may
dance. After four dances the young
ladies unmasked, and the dancing
became general, and was enjoyed
TIL late hour. Hon. Jos. B.
Lancaster acted as master Of cere-
monies, in his usual happy style,
and Miss Dora Delcrolx presided
At the piano with rare grace and
ability.

Continue to Plan. Corn.

With cotton at fifteen 10 sixteen
cents a pound and Il good prospect OF
going higher. We very naturally feel
inclined to plant largely of this crop.
And there is 10 harm in doing so.
But there is danger that we will cut
down the acreage in corn. This
would be i great mistake. Our present
prosperity is largely due TO the fact
that we have begun to raise more corn
and other food crops. We should by
all means continue this policy.
1t is not too late to plant corn. We
can adopt the Aldrich system and plant
two rows in corn and two rows in
cotton alternately. AS the corn will
mature much earlier than the cotton,
especially if We cut the corn for shred
ding. we can make almost full crop
Of cotton as we'll as corn. \ heavy
corn and hay crop this year insures
the continued prosperity of the South
ern farmer. We have never had Shch
prospect open before us. Let us
be sure that we do not spoil this pros
pect by planting small provision crops.
With the improved methods of cul-
tivation and the improved implements
we can cultivate large areas in corn
and hay and truck even if the labor
supply is short. But be sure you do
not sell your cotton before you gather
it.-Southern CultivatOr.

Ton Dressing Grain.

We are very often asked the Qucs.
ton. will top dressing grain pay? Yes.
Nitrate Of soda. ut the rate of 100
pounds per acre, sown on as soon as the
grain is large enough tc hide the
ground, will pay on any small grain.
1t will pay even as late as three weeks
before cutting the grain.
1t is best to put nitrate on just at
sundOwn or just before or during q
shower. If the nitrate is in coarse par
ticles it should be beat up or ground in
an old coffee MILL If made fine it
dissolves very quickly. Top dressing
will often double the crop.-SOuthern

How to Make Corn.

To make large yields of corn. we
must prepare the soil deep and fine.
Corn roots grow five to six feet down
in the earth if we give them a chance.
The hardpan must be broken. Corn
needs a great deal Of water and goes
down to find it. 1t also needs plenty
Of food and goes down to find that.
If the soil is deep-the hardpan en-
tirely destroyed-it will find both.
Another important point is plenty
Of stalks. We can not make heavy
crops with 4 few stalks. We should
have from six to eight thousand stalks
per acre Corn needs plenty of space
for root development. but needs cubic
space rather than square space. Six
teen feet Of square space with soil
three inches deep will not make as
heavy ears as four feet Of square
space four feet deep. The latter fur
niSheS so much more water and food.
Corn roots run through all the soil.
hence the manure should be broadcast.
Corn grows only so long Its sea-
son of growth can not be indefinitely
extended as cotton can. For this rea-
son the culture should be rapid and
shallow. No roots should be cut off
and no crust should be allowed. Keep
a good dust blanket ard corn will do
velop vigorously. The weedpr at the
beginning and the dashboard after
ward are great helps in making large
yields of corn.
In fertlizng. not much nitrogen IS
needed.
Select good variety and follow
these hints and you will find it easy
to get from fifty to seventy bushels
per acre.

Profitable Turkey Raising.

Some time ago | promised TO write
YOU 4 piece on turkey raising. To be
successful. the greatest care should be
taken with them while young. They
can't stand rain or dew; it is best to
have house TO keep them in at
and during wet weather. usually
keep the hens confined for two weeks
and let the little turkeys have access
TO the sunshine.
The best food for them the first
two weeks is boiled eggs mixed with
scraps from the table with small
sprinkle of black pepper. l don't give
any raw food to my little turkeys for
the first two weeks They should have
plenty of fresh water.
have been raising turkeys for twen-
ty years. hut never realized much
profit until the past few years. AT
first l had the common breed, but l
became so interested in turkey rails
ing that / ordered me a Mammoth
Bronze tom from New Jersey. which
cost me $3.50. That seems dear for one
tom, but it has doubly paid me.
There should he some nicely ar
ranged nests where intruders cannot
modest them while setting.
Tobacco dust is the best thing 10
prevent lice. sprinkled thick in the
nests.
The turkeys lay in the plantation.
and when they are ready to set we
bring them home.
There should not be over twenty
eggs to each turkey hen. The first
week in May is the best time for them
TO hatch.
/ once set turkey and did not
have enough eggs so let her set one
week, then put chicken eggs under
her. The turkey hatched four chicks.
They roamed over the plantation with
the turkeys. and we're very thrifty
and grew fast We used all Of them
for the table but one speckled hen.
She got grown hut never stopped 90
ing with the turkeys. She would
come home to lay, then roam over the
plantation and find the turkeys. She
laid one time with the turkeys off
from home in the same nest. All tur-
key raiScrS know how hard ii is to
find the nests. as they lay sometimes
q half mile from home. Would you
believe it: that hen learned when 4
turkey laid, TO cackle until we found
the nest.
We should not try 70 prevent tur-
keys from roaming. for their DISPOSE
tion TO roam is the cause Of the fine
favor of their meat.
You will notice that turkeys eat very
deliberately. taking a bite here and
there as though it were serious
matter: and walking slowly along as
they feed. thus inSuring exercise and
great variety in their food.
