Der. Bermuda grass is of no service
for winter grazing, because the first
frosts of autumn brown it and it is
dormant through the winter. 1t also
does not come on early in the spring,
difficulty that can be overcome by SOW
ing to rye in August, which may be
grazed to some extent through the late
fall and to good advantage in the early
spring. It is often not advisable to
Craze rye in the winter because the
ground is too wet and the tramping in
lures it very much. Bermuda grass is
in reality the blue grass of the far
South. 1t will carry practically as
much weight Of live stock per acre as
blue grass, and live stock relish it and
make good gains on it. The sod il
dense and tough and is not injured by
hot, dry weather. 1t is really remark
able to one acquainted with the virtues
Of this grass to see how comparatively
little of it is cultivated. Owing to the
spreading nature Of its growth it is
very hard to get rid Of, and it is not
desirable to put it on land that you de-
sire to bring under cultivation at the
end Of a few years. but for permanent
pasture it Is one Of the best grasses in
America, and there is not farmer in
the region where it will grow we'll that
would not be better off If he had a good
Bermuda pasture.
Alfalfa will grow very we'll on some
Of your richer and lower land that is
we'll supplied with moisture and where
the subsoil is not too tenacious. The
soil should be inoculated and care
should be taken to thoroughly prepare
and enrich it with the needed fertilizer
before seeding to alfalfa. Alfalfa is
doing very we'll on the station farm on
red clay uplands, yielding as much as
five tons of cured hay per acre, and
judging from what you say the land
you contemplate buying is considerably
richer and also lighter in texture.
The central South has great asri-
cultural future before it. Land Is
cheap, and though the farms are often
run down iley can be built up and re-
claimed in a remarkably short time by
judicious rotation of crops and the
use of the cowpea and other legumes
which thrive lu1uriantly in this cli-
mate. The price Of land is bound to in
crease owing to the rapid growth Of
manufacturing and mining industries
and the man that comes in now and
buys his land cheaply and then i'm
proves it should make a good thing out
Of it. Live stock will be one Of the
leading industries in this section Of the
country in the very near future.-Knox-
Vile Tribune.

Cotton W.. Dairy Farming.

Cotton growing is essentially a one
crop system in which the fertility OF
the soil is lessened each year. The ad-
vantages of cotton growing lie in the
fact that the crop can be easily raised
and it can always be sold at some price.
At the prices which have prevailed
during the past eight years the ma"
jority of cotton growers Of Georgia
have not made their living expenses.
With the increased cotton acreage OF
foreign countries, especially Egypt, the
future price of cotton is quite apt to
be as low as at any time in the past.
The price will doubtless vary from
year to year, as heretofore, depending
upon the worlds visible supply, bu7 it
it is safe to say that the average price
for any series Of years will be five
cents per pound or less.
Dairying, on the other hand, is the
foundation of diversified farming, a
system wherein the farmer is not de-
pendent upon any one crop for his liv-
ing. There is always a market for
good butter, and where the dairy farm
er grows the feed for his cattle, the
butter will not cost one-half what it
can be sold for. The butter also brings
a cash price and at all times Of the
year. This enables the dairy farm
er to pay cash for his supplies and
he is enabled to get them cheaper than
otherwise. But, most important Of all,
the dairy farmer is constantly enrich
ing his land, and as the fertility of the
soil increases from year to year, more
crops, better crops, and cheap crops
are produced. This leads to the use OF
improved farm tools and better farm
buildings.-Florida Agriculturist. -.

Combining Poultry and Fruit.

The combining Of poultry and fruit
raising is doubly advantageous; the
poultry keeping down insects, grubs,
worms that injure either the trees or
the fruit or both, and the trees fur
nishing much needed shade for the
poultry. In the apple, pear and peach
orchard the advantages gained from
having the poultry run in it are very
great. Not only do the fowls keep in
sects and worms in subsection, but
the scratching and wallowing in the
freshly cultivated soil keeps the drop
pings stirred in and mixed with the
soil so the feeding roots can reach
them, and it will be found that the
soil will need less frequent cultivat-
ing.-The Southern Planter.

for the Protestants in the Smoot IN

practices polygamy and connlves al
violations of the law and that his e.
cry vote as a senator of the United
States is subject to the wish aus
command of the Mormua church
President Joseph F. Smith confess
cd that he himself had continued Ia
cohabit with his plural family since
the manifesto of 1890, and that he
realized fully that he was violating
the state laws.
President Smith also testified hat
Reed Smoot tried to get the consent
of his associate apostles in the church
before he could become a candidate
for senator. The confession of Pres
ident Smith was the sensation of the
proceedings today before the senate
committee on privileges and elections.
| Mr.. Smith said that the manifesto OF
| 1890 had left him and others with
| plural families in the unfortunate sit
uation of being compelled to defy the
law or desert their families. For him
self he had preferred to take chances
with the law, rather than to disgrace
himself and degrade his family by
abandoning his wives and the chill
dren they had borne him. He adj
mitted that he had had children by
all of his five wives since the manifes'
to and said that he had acknowledged
them openly without interference or
disturbance from the people OF Utah,
whom he spoke Of as liberal and
broad-minded. The defendant VIII

Mr.. Taylor asked a number OF
questions which brouht out a state
ment from Mr.. Smith regarding his
own position under the laws govern

he had violated them continuously
since the manifesto Of 1890 and Is

ready to face the laws of the land.
