Too many potato bugs are not

When sweet potatoes are ripe they

VALE POLITICAL PARADEs.
Modern Campaigns Are Conducted Up

Plan.

Enthusiasts who try to help "savs

are not very conspicuous in this pres
idential canvass, says Youths Compan
ion. Impromptu professions, to well
come candidate or to celebrate vic
tory, are common, as they always were
and always will be; but the campaign
clubs that used to put on gorgeous uni
forms, light torches and tramp tn,
streets every night are comparatively
few in number.
The fathers have told us how "Tip

played a large part In the spectacula,

to crystalline into votes, and SO quad.

MAKING MONEY ON THE FARM.
In Making the Crops Stop the Leaks
and See That Nothing Goes
to Waste.

There are very many things that
contribute to this very desirable end.
But we especially desire in this article
to show you how to increase your
profits by taking care Of what you
make. in this southland 1t is COM
paratively easy to make large amounts
of produce. but owing to'the errors of
our past education and the wasteful-
ness Of our habits, we have not learned
to make the clear profits upon our
marming that we ought to make. We
annually grow in the south about
800, ,0O0, 900 worth of corn stalks. These
we have suffered to go to waste al
most entirely Instead Of raising cat
tie to eat the stover that these stalks
would make, we throw away or burn
up the stalks and buy the beef raised
on corn stalks where they do not
throw them away. If the southern
corn stalk crop was shredded and fed
to the southern-bred cattle Of good
breeds, the difference in cur annual
income would be almost equal to the
money received from the cotton crop.
Another similar waste is found in
the way we handle our cotton seed.
II every pound of cotton seed meal
was fed to cattle and then the manure
properly saved and used, the cotton
seed crop would be almost equal in
value to the lint. But at present we
sell the seed at low. prices and buy the
meal made from them at high prices,
and put 1t into the ground as ferti-
lizer, thus losing about one-half its
feeding value Horses, COWS and hogs
all do we'll when fed upon cotton seed
meal and corn stover, and by the prop
er use of these every farmer can large
iy increase the net income from his
farm.
Another source of great waste is
found In the time, the energy, the
horsepower, the hired labor, and the
guano used upon washed and worn
fields with only two or three inches Of
scratched soil. All over the south
there are millions of these acres which
do not pay the expense Of cultiva-
ton. instead of adding to the In
come from the farm, they take away
from the net income. 1t is worse than
foolishness to cultivate such land.
Either put II in grass, or let it lie and
grow its own grass. or break it IL or
Is inches deep so that 1t will pay for
cultivation. Every acre of it would
pay IL it was broken Is inches deep
when dry in the fall of the year. and
properly cultivated.
To make money farming, We must
make each acre produce more than the
cost of cultivation. And we must make
each crop produced upon the farm
bring In q net income over the cost of
producing it-Southern Cultivator.
