full not to break the crust around the stalk. We
often lose a great deal just at this point. If the
crust is broken, the wind will weary the plant,
break the fine roots and greatly injure the plant.
Be sure to chop shallow and keep your cotton
standing up. It should have the dirt to it In a
few days, or before there is rain. For this pur-
pose use a small cotton pillow, and don't be afraid
to let it go in the ground. The soil should be
stirred often, but a little shallower every time,
until the last blowing, in which you should go
just deep enough to destroy the grass.
There are other things about cotton you should
know. On some soil it will grow too much weed
and too little fruit. On other soil you will have
difficulty in getting weed enough to make a crop.
Where it grows too large, plant early, cultivate
shallow and lay by early. If you want more
weed, plant later, cultivate deener and later.

A NEW METHOD OF GROWING TOMATOES.
the Fruit Earlier, Produces Better Fruit, and
Prevents Rot and Mildew.

A new method of growing tomatoes has been
p~racticed recently by some of our Southern truck
ers and tomato growers, which has given the most
satisfactory and profitable results. The plants
are usually set in rows three and one-half feet
apart and three feet between plants. When the
first sucker is two inches long, it is pinched out,
as are all suckers appearing thereafter. Before
the plant begins to fall, light pine stakes are
driven in the ground, and the plants tied to them
with ordinary cotton strings. The tomato vine
is then trained up this take, requiring three or
four tyings until it reaches the top, four feet from
the ground. Then the bud is pinched out. This
gives a plant with twelve Or fourteen large leaves
four times the size of the ordinary tomato leaf,
and five or six large clusters of magnificent, per-
feet fruit. In the bearing season the patch looks
like a diminutive orchard loaded with fruit. Bush
els of ripe tomatoes are in plain sight as the eye
wanders over the field.
Some growers like to leave two stalks to the
stake. In case this is done, be sure and leave the
vine below the first blossom as the fruit-bearing
vine, as it is much more prolific than any other
vine that starts on the plant.
Tomatoes grown on stakes, in the way above in
Dictated, having a comparatively small leafy sur
face for Transportation, do not require nearly so
much moisture to mature their fruit, and conse-
quently give better results through periods of hot,
dry weather.-T. W. Wood. Richmond, Va.

The Best Way to Cultivate Cotton.
III. F. FREEMAN.
Wilson Co., N. @.
Editors Progressive Farmer:


All indications at present point to a large cot
ton crop. The farmers have been advised not to
do it, but they will; so we should make the most
of it possible. There is an idea that anybody can
make cotton, and they can, but anybody cannot
make a success of it. No one should continue in
any business unless they can make it a success.
So let's start out this year to make our cotton
crop a success. How shall we begin? If the land
was in cotton last year, take a piece of timber
AKA feet-long enough to reach two rows. Fix
g beam and handles to it, and run it over the
stalks when they are dry. This will knock the
limbs and burrows off, so you can turn them out.
Always commence at the top of the hill and work
down. Run your first furrow on the upper side
of the stalks and close to them. Then with the
next furrow turn them out; so when you run
your next furrow on the other row it will throw
dirt on them. This is important. If the stalks
are covered at the next blowing, they will be
broken to pieces, so that they will be compare
lively out of the way. When you are ready to put
in your compost or guano, run another furrow,
put in manure and bed on it with four burrows.
Then it is ready for the planter, unless you prefer
to knock the top off of the ridges.
When your cotton is UP to a stand, side it off
with a small plow-tolerably close, but shallow
and chop it to a stand, and be very care

DIR. FREEMAN'S TALKS.
H.-How to Have Plenty of Chickens.

holto progressive FARMER:
/ believe most people are like Methodist preach
ers in that they are very fond of fried chicken.
In fact, / know my boys and girls are. This be-
ing so, l began to try to have chickens, and some
fifteen years ago / built me an incubator. This
was some trouble to operate, SO / bought one and
tried two makes, and finally settled down on the
Cyphers. This is very little trouble, and does the
work about like the old hens. This machine holds
four hundred eggs.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we get the best of life's
good things from our garden, milk and butter, and
chickens and eggs. Our chickens Matched a week
before Christmas are nearly large enough to fry,
and then wife don't care if the preacher comes.
This incubator embarrassing business just for
home use is the best thing I know for a family.
By this means you can have chickens the year
round and they are far better when raised this
way-so juicy, sweet and tender. Then it is a
pleasure which I enjoy very much. A week from
to-day / expect to take off two or three hundred
nice white, pluffy fellows and then it will be a
very great pleasure to watch them start out on
their active life.
/ am using the White Wyandottes, and like
them very much. / would advise persons wishing
to improve their chickens to begin now, this
spring. 1t is too late to buy chickens to raise
from, but order a sitting of eggs of the breed you
like best. Always get the best, and improve them
all the time and you will be pleased.
First of all, get a good chicken journal and
learn all about chickens. You think you know
now, but you don't. When I go to Raleigh and
stop at the Marlborough House for a few days
and they feed me on the best the garden, the dairy
and the hennery affords, they think they have done
well, and they have, but not so we'll as wife does.
One of my n~eighbors has recently got an incuba-
tor, and I hope they will succeed, and then you
may lookout for a big boom in the chicken bust
ness here. Reader, just get you a 200-egg incu-
bator, make a good garden and a milk-house and
begin to live. Start now.

Proper Width of Cotton Rows.
In the last number of the Soutern Farmer,
Prof. j. M. Johnson, Professor of Agriculture in
the University of Georgia, formerly with our
North Carolina Experiment Station, makes an in
teresting report of some cotton-growing tests on
the experiment farm. From his article we quote
the following extract:
Early in the spring of 1902 about two acres of
land was plowed about eight inches deep, or one
and half to two inches deeper than it ever had
been up to that time. This area was then sown
in oats, which came off in June, making a very
good crop. The land was then broken with a two
mule pillow and sown to peas. The peas made a
very good growth, giving eight large two-horse
wagon loads of cured pea vine hay from the two
areas.
During the winter and early spring of 1903,
the ground was broken with a disk pillow set to
run from ten to twelve inches deep. In March the
land was gone over with a disk harrow cutting it
up and pulverizing it to a depth of four or five
inches. Then a mixture of $50 pounds of acid
phosphate, rs pounds of cottonseed meal and IS
pounds of muriate of potash per acre, was scat
tered broadcast and narrowed in.
Rows were then laid off on six plots, each plot
containing one-sixth of an acre. On plot No. 1
the rows were three feet apart and SO on to No.
y, III ulCu Iu0y were I'VE duC Ouo-ndl1 1G6C apart.
In the rows $50 pounds per acre of a 9-2-3 fer
tilizer was distributed and mixed in the soil with
a long, narrow pillow.
About the last of April, or first of May, cot
tonseed of the variety known as "Pullnott'' was
planted. When the plants were chopped to a
stand of from twelve to twenty-four inches, care
being taken that like distances between the plants
In the rows were maintained with the row of the
different distances apart.
Flat, rather shallow and frequent cultivation
was given the entire area under experiment.
The final results as shown by the weighings as
the cotton was picked were as follows:
Plot No. 1, rows three feet, yield per acre,
2,23S pounds seed cotton.
Plot No. 2, rows three and one-half feet, yield
per acre, 2,742 pounds seed cotton.
Plot No. 3, rows four feet, yield per acre, 1850
pounds seed cotton.
Plot No. 4, rows four and one-half feet, yield
per acre, 1886 pounds seed cotton.
Plot No. 5, rows five feet, yield per acre, 1914
pounds seed cotton.
pounds seed cotton.
distance between rows ON land similar to ours,
which II is of a rather heavy clayey loan, for cotton
of the large growing varieties such a "Pullnot,"
type. It is seen that rows four and one-half feet
apart gave decidedly the best yields, while the
three feet rows gave the poorest yields.
ties, in all probability the four foot rows would
have had the advantage. However, that statement
is yet to be verified.

(Answer by W. F. Massey, Horticulturist North
Carolina Experiment Station.)

-" ~ Ac0OS AOA =
Carolina Experiment Station.)
Upland rice is grown on moist low black sandy
soil in hills, and cultivated as other crops. The
land should of course be thoroughly plowed and
put into fine order before planting. I have had
no practical experience in the cultivation of this
crop, and hope that some of the readers of The
Progressive Farmer may give your correspondent
full directions.
Watermelons grow best on dry sandy uplands.
I would check the land about ten feet each way
and clean out a large space at each check. In
this I would place several shovelfuls of a compost
prepared some months before Of stable manure
and black earth from the woods turned and mixed
well. On this compost I would scatter a handful
of high grade fertilizer and then cover with soil.
Plant the seed plentifully to insure a stand and
thin to two plants In a hill. In cultivating, work
the soil to the hills so that in laying by, the dead
burrows will be midway between the rows. One
of the best crops l ever grew was on a piece of
sandy bottom land. This was plowed in lands
twelve feet wide. A subsoil plow was then run in
the dead burrows, and a good supply of high grade
fertilizer was scattered along the furrow. Two
burrows were thrown on this, and this list was
slightly fattened and the seed were sown in a con-
tinuous row, and gradually thinned out to stand
three feet apart. The soil was then plowed to the
plants as they grew till when laid by the plants
were on top the land and the dead burrows be-
tween. In this way we got the roots deep in the
soil and they did remarkably well.

Upland Rice and Watermelons.

I want to plant some upland rice. I want to
know what grade of land, how the land must be
prepared before planting, how much manure and
what kind, how to plant and cultivate the same.
I also want some hints on watermelon raising.
I hope you will answer through The Progressive
Farmer soon.

monotonous and lonesome. 1t Is hard
the doctors directions to be cheerful
and hopeful.
The health commissioners rules are
better fitted to the elderly than to
youth and manhood. Old age is hypo-
chondriae. 1t covers over the vital
spark and tends it from every chilling
draft. but the younger man who makes
the observance of health rules his prin-
cipal business is not likely to succeed
in any other. He should be healthy
withou. thought and take common
sense care of himself unconsciously. II
he needs to run he should be able to do
so. If heavy weight is to be lifted
his shoulder belongs under 1t. He will
find many times that the exigendes of
life necessitate hard work when he is
tired. and he will also find it to his
moral and physical well being to have
the right to kiss somebody on the
mouth. There are germs lar more GAN
gerous than any on the lips OF wife and
children. Men who do not kiss their
wives and babes do not deserve them
1t is an easy diversion to make rules
for others that we do not ourselves
observe. After all the shortest life Is
often the longest In accomplishment
and happiness. Great things and good
things are rarely done by the self-cen-
tered and the man who cons list of
health rules and shapes all his actions
and habits to their dictation is likely
to grow into himself. There is no need
to paste q health decalogue into our
hats. Ordinary common sense, hard
work and happy home are the three
healthiest things in the world.

Doubtless these are good rules and
conducive to longevity, but man who
never ran. never lifted quit when he
began to tire, invariably went to bed
early and never kissed anybody on the
mouth would need to live Il long time,
and would find existence somewhat
