with the one-horse farm, with a judcous rotation and deep anu thorough prepara- ton the productive capacity of the two- year system of rotation in which cotton, corn, small grain, peas and sorghum con- stitute the principle crops may be made to combine profit and progressive im- provement of the soil.
 The following rotation combines money crops, forage crops and soil renovation:
 First year: Field (a)-20 acres cotton field (b)-20 acres corn and peas; field Colo acres small grain followed by peas, acres sorghum, acres peas and hog crops.
 Second year: Field (a)--Corn and peas; field (b)-small grain followed by peas. sorghum and hog crops; field (c)-Cot- ton.
 Third year: Field (a)-Small grain fol- lowed by peas, sorghum. peas and hay crops; field (b)-Cotton; field (c)-Corn and peas.
 It will be observed that in this TO- tation two-thirds of the cultivated land has humus supplying and rnovating crops each year.
 Sweet potatoes, ground peas sofa beans artichokes, rape and chufas are classed as hog crops These are to be gathered by the hogs under movable fences, which are easily made with cable hog wire by mailing strips of plank to the post and bradding the wire to the plank. To move this the plank. with the wire attached, can be rolled and carried to the new plot

crease the capacity of his lands by sow ing peas and in the fall applying twenty five or fifty bushels of lime per acre. The application of lime can be made by burning the rock cn the Farm or near it. inc is the basis from which the rich soils of middle Tennessee have acquired ther strength. Lime increases the warmth of the soil and hastens thenia
 turity of the crops grown thereon. Lime assists fertilizers by neutralizing the acids in soils, while nearly all plants use lime al food It is not only plant food, but exerts a chemical effect on the soil which brings into use other mate rials which are beyond the capacity of plants to reduce. When green food is turned under. lime will be found valu- atle adjunct, as it neutralizes the acids produced by fermentation, and combines with them. II is heavy substance and has a tendency to go down, hence if broadcasted on the surface of a field, it will sooner or later be within the reach of plants Stone lime that has been air slacked until it is fine is excellent, though some farmers use shell lime.

ABOUT TURKEY RAISING.

From the Breeder and Horseman.
 An experienced turkey raised sends us the following as the result of his exper- fence: Turkey eggs hatch in four weeks after setting. Strong eggs hatch out several days earlier. Take your turkeys from the nest as soon as they are dry, to prevent them from mashing, wrap them up and keep in a warm place. Give no food for day and night; there is a re- sidium of yolk to be absorbed ano avoid ed. The early feeding interferes with this process.
 When all the eggs have matched, re- move the turkeys to a temporary coop. Burn the nesting straw, whitewash pen and boxes sprinkle with kerosene, wash if vermine is suspected. Grease heads, throats and under the wings e old tur-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-07-13

keys. Grease with lard or unsalted meat grease all the small turkeys and return them to the pen, and feed, for first week hard boiled eggs chopped fine, chopped lettuce and onions. raw or boiled. Feed hens grain and some soft food. For reg ular feeds after first week make curds of buttermilk and clabber scalded and press ed dry from whey. Also feed plain corn cake unsalted, crumbled fine and moist ened with a little water sweet milk: these are the proper foods for young turkeys. Feed three or four times d day, in an earthenware plate or vessel. Fur keys are fastidious to clean platters and food. If eggs are not practicable for diet for the first week substitute the curds. Do not give raw meal dough, but termilk or sour milk These produce diar- rhea, and this disease is the mortal foe of the turkey.
 If it be damp or rainy weather. keep the turkeys inside the pen for a week, hous- ing them in the nesting coup at night After that period let them out every morning after the dew has dried off, shut ting them up early in the evening Wet cold quarters, sudden showers and early due baths produce diarrhea and slay the young turks right and left We always gather ours in and shut up safely at the first signs of a shower

Wheat Acreage

There has also been a wonderful m- provement in the wheat crop. The har- vest has extended well up Into the month and the yield and quality are both good. The great crop of northern central Texas has been mostly saved, the threshers are nearly through threshing and some crops run as high as forty bushels to the acre of fine. plump grain; while the crop of winter wheat shows up well. yet it is rather early to predict what will be the outcome of the spring sown wheat in the extreme north The acreage of wheat is below that of last year and we are like H to have smaller yield The panhan- dle country of Texas and western Ok lahoma, both lost heavily in acreage from the dry weather in winter and spring which prevented germination. Then sec tions of Kansas have lost heavily on sc1 cage, and damage by floods But then after all we are going to have great wheat oror-wheat for home and wheat to ship abroad
 Oats Acreage.
 The winter or fall sown oats were fine and great improvement has obtain ed on the spring crop. The acreage of oats howeve~ like that of wheat is be- low that of last year.
 The acreage of rye is also small but the ylclu IS bopu tiiu tne STdln Ilnc.
 Hay Crop.
 This crop suffered in some sections by cold, dry weather but conditions have improved wonderfully in the last few weeks, so much so that we may count on big crop. Rain in few sections is deluging the hay harvest and som, damage to crops has occurred but after all the crop IS large.
 Potatoes and Acreage.
 The early potato crop is damaged by the cold, dry weather of early spring and has been rather disappointing upor the whole. The crop Is yielding abou sixty bushels per acre with now anu ther crop which yielded one hundred ant twenty-five bushels. The crop is practi cally all sold from the southern states

to be enclosed. The posts are reset at the same distance apart as before and the planked renailed to them. By this means pork can be grown very cheaply without recourse to the corn crib Ten acres should be soddden in Bermuda grass and several planted in alfalfa, the former for permanent pasture and the latter for green soiling or for hay. A few acres in Texas bluegrass will com plete the pasturage for permanent use, as this is green when Bermuda is dor mant. Rye sown thickly part in drill and part broadcast, is the best winter grass

Agricultural Department
CONDUCTED BY FULTON s. WHITE.

1 Prices have been good and growers gen l orally have been satisfied The late crop in the great lake regions promises much better as the conditions have been favor able for growth
 The acreaee of the early crop in the south was cut down in order 10 accom- modate the cotton crop. while the crops in both the Kansas and great American bottoms, Oil the early crop, has been very greatly reduced again this year by oYerflows. Then tke crop suffered dam age in some sections from rot caused l by excessive rains. The indications are that we will have a large crop of late potatoes as we have q good acreage to produce them.
 Onions. 1 The early onion crop ..as peen large, l filling all dcmads. one small town in Tex as having shipped IA cars or fine Ber- T uda stock These reached the market in fine condition and brought satisfactory rrioes. he onion industry is now be- coming one of our great industries in agriculture and has brought to the grow CTS large revenue at good time this season.
 Tomato Crop.
 This too, has become staple crop with us and hundreds of cars nave already been shipped and sold at fancy prices. The crop is below the average and is now nearly all moved from the south ern states Florida closed out some days ago, Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana and Texas are nearly through shipping while Tennessee is entering the market with a short crop. The fruit is in great de- mand and will be scarce until the north ern states come in and there crop is late. The crop in the west Is nearly fail nre and there will be few tomatoes ship ped from the west, north or rexas.
 Peaches.
 Conservative estimates place the peach crop of the peach states, southern states and the two territories at 7OOO cars. One thousand cars at least of this great crop will be shipped from along and over the Frisco system Elbertos, which are fine, are now moving in car lots from eastern Texas, Florida and points in Alabama.
 Apple Crop.
 The apple crop will be light in the south and west. Some early apples of fine ap- pearance are now appearing on the mar ket.
 Other Fruits.
 The supply of small fruits. such as ber- ries of all kinds have been equal to the market demands. The strawberry season is over and other berries are now taking their place.
 Vegetables.
 The supply of vegetables of all kinds is up to the market demands this being a great season for vegetables or all kinds. So in looking over the present situation 1 can see no cause for complaint, but all indicates a bountiful harvest.

Corn Crop and Acreage.

We cannot deny the fact that the corn
 crop in many sections Is late and small
 for this season, and also that there is
 quite an acreage suffering for cultivation
 In some sections the stand is poor. but with favorable weather and push in
 cultivation these conditions may be large ly overcome.
 The crop has withstood both weather | extremes remarkably well. In some of the | southern states, especially Louisiana and | Texas, the crop is practically made. The
 crop in the great corn states. Iowa, llli- Tois, Kansas, Nebraska Indiana and Ohio. while generally late, Is now re- | cefving good cultivation and is growing | rapidly. There are many fine crops of | corn in both the territories. Now. as to l the acreage this is larger than it was l last year having been largely increased in the southern states and the two terri
 tories-I mean Oklahoma and Indian ter
 ritories. So viewing the situation at this
 date all indication point to a great crop The weather is now favorable for cul- | tivation over a greater part of the corn | growing sections, and with goou cultiva-
 tion and good weather from now on l fully expect to see my predictions veri-
