and diversifies his crops, and buys HIS

crop will belong to the farmers, and
the price can not be manipulated. as

These things can each and all be

The prospect for the southern farm

loose from the old beaten path and
walk along new ways. You will find
everybody ready to help you when
you begin to help yourselves. Cut
down your acreage in cotton, and the
general acreage will be smaller. Cut
down your fertilizer notes, and your
store mortgages, and you will find that
farm life has a brighter side than you
had thought. The speculator can not
discount your intelligence and your
independence, but he can and will dis
count large acreage and a large in

HERE AND THERE.

Farmers should not sell their cot
ton at q less price than ten cents per
pound. II bears succeed in reducing
the price, don't let them have a single
bale. Save it for the bulls.
If farmer has 20 acres in corn
yielding 20. bushels per acre, would 1t
not be better il he cultivated ten acres
at 40 bushels per acre; or even nve
acres at 80 bushels per acre?
-Convicts put to work on roads ara

will go, all OF 1t that can be utilized on

The most successful poultry raisers
and egg producers are farmers. just
as ought to be the case. They can
raise fowls at less cost than others.
and make more clear profit than any
except breeders Of fancy fowls for

Every farmer can, II he will, inn
prove his seeds Of all kinds, by care
full selection and cultivation, and by
taking advantage of natural variation,
with as much certainty as he can, by
a similar process improve his live
stock.

rcft1ilxer0 ON WOrn.Out SOlIs
A reader in Florence, Ala, asks for
u formula to make chemical fertil-
izers for wheat to be drilled in with
wheat" He has been using bone meal
to some extent, but for the last two
years has failed to get good results,
the land being red clay upland, worn
out cotton fields. am afraid the mala-
dy Is too far advanced to be cured by
the application of any chemical fertil-
izer or fertilizer combination which
might prescribe. The soil is worn
out" That tells the whole story. 1t Is
lifeless for the want of humus as we'll
as plant foods. Chemicals might sup
ply the foods all right, but would not
bring permanent improvement. The
production Of wheat will only finish
the process of soil-robbery begun by
growing successive crops Of cotton.
The remedy in this case, as in num-
Der of similar ones, lies in the cessa-
ton, for year or two. Of the produc-
ton of wheat, and in the planting OF
such soil-improvers as cow-peas, soy
beans, crimson clover or other clovers,
perhaps with the help Of dressings Of
superphosphate. and possibly smaller
doses of potash (muriate or other
forms), leaving the growths thus pro-
-duced on or in the soil to furnish both
the needed humus and nitrogen. and
afterward following judicious rota-
ton of cropping, in which cow-peas.

Best Result. From Manure.

When manure is taken fresh from
the stable or horse or cow lot and
spread on the fields in fall or winter.
the greatest possible advantage il
realized therefrom. The soluble con-
stituents are in such cases leached
out by the rains and incorporated with
the soil and are in conditions to
promptly administer to the wants of
the crops as soon as the crops need
plant food. The same manure, left
until Just before planting, will have
the most valuable food leached out:
or II thrown in heaps will have the
nitrogen dissipated by the process OF
slow combustion, which follows the
fermentation of the mass. "Well-rot-
ted manure" means manure the vir.
tues of which are chiefly spent. The
writer has had manure heaps that &C
cumulated during summer reduced to
ashes, except thin outside layer ex-
posed to the air and rain. Such ma
nure is of very little value where
nitrogen is required.-Farm and Ranch.
