The Democrats Latest Issue.

Recent debates In the United Statel
senate indicate that the Democratic
leaders intend to make Roosevelt
their issue in the coming campaign
The Republicans are ready to accept
the challenge as they are quite will
ing to 20 before the country on the
record Of their party chief.
In his short but eventful admins
tration, President Roosevelt has been
brought face to face with the most
serious problems Of the present gen.
GRAFTON; the labor question, the trust
problem, the race question, and ques-
tions Of international politics, and
each and all he has met with I'M
fiinching courage, and so far as 1t was
possible. solved in a manner that has
gained the approval Of a large ma
jority Of his countrymen.
By his frmness, tact, and foresight,
the Anthracite Coal Strike was
brought to an end. The sympathy
he showed for labor on this occasion
won for him the admiration Of the
nation. Yet when organized labor
demanded too much, as In the case Of
Foreman Miller Of the government
printing office, 1t found q chief exscu-
tive determined to enforce the law
regardless Of political consequences.
Toward capital he has been equally
just and independent. In the North
ern Securities case the action Of the
administration was prompt and posi-
tive. Toward capital and labor he
has lived up to his declaration: mo
man is above the law. and no man Is
beneath it,"
He faced the negro question fear
essly. treating white and black alike.
)ne Of his fsvorite sayings is that q
nan who is good enough to fight for

Blind bitches, Open bitches and Tile Draining.

Editors Progressive Farmer:
As have recently finished cutting and reflling
some bitches creek and branch bottom lands, I
will submit few thoughts on this subject to your
esteemed paper. / commenced binding bitches
about fifteen years ago, and have fully mile of
covered bitches my farm now. In the greater
part of my bitches I have used two planks nailed
together as for making trough, with cross steps
about five feet apart as long the ditch is wide.
I put a slab rough-edge plank in the bottom
of the ditch, and place these boxes plank, open
side down. use corn-stalks or brush on top of
boxes. have also used pine poles, two in bottom
of ditch and three on top covered with brush, be-
fore fitting. Recently have used boxes, made of
four planks x 4 inches, without plank in bot
tom of ditch have had to take up some boxes
on account of cogging, but still think it pays to
blind them, the open bitches have to be cleaned
out every spring, owing to the overflow of the
creek / suppose | should have used tiles for
under draining, but don't know what they cost !;
besides, the bottom of my bitches are generally
quite soft. Owing to the land lost, and the ex-
pense of cleaning out open ditches I think it is
economy to blind them, and it is better to do so,
possible after cutting them.
/ buy pair of rubber boots every spring. and
while am using two-horse teams blowing, put one
dollar per day. This is much cheaper than hiring
by the rod as have found by considerable expert
ence.
/ should be glad to know the cost of tiles; also
to using them in soft bitches

Farming in the Piedmont Section.
Editors Progressive Farmer


After about the hardest struggle of my life,
have succeeded in getting my crop planted and
have begun cultivation. The stand of both cotton
and corn is poor and the cool weather is retarding
the growth, especially of cotton. have sown
more grass seed than I usually do. I find there is
more profit in hay than any other crop can raise.
succeeded last fall in getting stand of alfalfa
small lot It is showing up well now. Early
in the spring I buried it, and later I inoculated
the soil with bacteria obtained from the govern
ment. This is my third attempt to grow alfalfa,
the first two proving failures. We learn by ex-
perience; and / want to say to all who have not
tried alfalfa, that the preparation of the land is
the main thing. This must be begun two or three
years before sowing the seed, by deep plowing,
liberal manurng and clean cultivation
I harvested my first crop of rye and crimson
clover this spring. The rye was good, but the
clover failure. The seed was sown too late.
/ ordered the seed from Richmond, and it was six
weeks from the time the order was sent until
the seed came Next time I shall buy seed from
local dealer or send order earlier in the sea-
The seed was sown the first of October but
it too late for this season. Prof. Kilgore
said at the institute at Statesvile that seed sown
as late October would make good crop. 1t
may years, but I would advise>farmers not
to risk late seeding. Better SOW in July or Au-
gust Two years ago sowed the last day of July,
and had fine crop of clover, the best I ever saw
This was clover alone, without rye, and think
this gives better satisfaction as rye is too early
for the clover. E. S. MILLSAPS.

Latest North Carolina Crop Bulletin.

Much cotton is not yet up stiff soils in the
northern portion; elsewhere most of the crop is
now up, and chopping well advanced, with fairly
good stands; cool nights are very unfavorable for
this crop, causing young plants to die out, and
necessitating some replanting; but there are COM
parative few complaints of poor stands; the crop
is backward, but far in advance of last year. Corn
is doing fairly WELL though it is small it is being
cultivated; growth is slow on account of cool
nights; very large number of reports were re-
ceived of damage to corn by cut worms chiefly in
low ground. Setting tobacco is advancing under
favorable conditions, and from one-half to two
thirds of the crop has now been transplanted; it
is being injured in some counties by 1ea-bugs and
cut-worms Farmers still planting peanuts,
which are coming up slowly. Wheat and oats are
doing better, and though heading low, the heads
seem to be filing well. Gardens, truck crops,
especially Irish potatoes, peas and beans doing
nicely Setting out sweet potato sprouts is under
way. The shipments of Strawberries nearly
over, and the crop large one There will
be plenty of peaches in upland orchards; cherries
are ripening, and grapes are In bloom.

Blake Johnston's Observations.
Editors Progressive Farmer:


never gets too old to learn something.
[ have been smoothing off the top of my potato
ridges with hoe to have nice smooth place
to set the plants and tell you that was lot of
hard work. But have now learned better way.
| man running Eclipse cotton planter
over his ridges and it did the work to perfection
this planter has roller that follows behind the
seed
We dry up in this part of the State, but we
had moisture enough to get "a good stand, and this
dry weather is giving us a good chance to get
start of our crops.
The best way to slop hogs that have ever seen
is to put the trough close up the fence and make
a plank shute to the slop through the fence
And just while l talking about the hogs,
want want to say that everybody up here keeps
hogs up in close pens, and if you have tried
it, gather few tender weeds and some grass
every day for WHILE and see how they will i'm
prove. hog gets very tired of that dry corn feed
every day. Get good pigs; keep their pen clean !;
try to feed sometime they like-and you will get
better results.

DIR. FREEMAN's TALKS.
VIn-How to Keep Dogs From Breaking Up Your
Hen Nests.
Editors Progressive Farmer:


Often when am travelling through the country
am asked by my friends for strychnine "Some
dog" they say 'has destroyed nearly all the eggs
my wife has set this spring, and has broken up two
or more setting turkeys; so please give me enough
strychnine to do the work, and say nothing" In
all these cases I advise the dog=proof nest. So
will take it for granted that some reader of The
Progressive Farmer has had eggs sucked by his
neighbor's dog (never his own). So will describe
the dog-proof- nest which / have used for many
years. and never had an egg sucked from one OF
them.
Take some plank "a by - inch, and some "a by
10 inch. Saw piece from the 12-inch plank
31a feet long for the bottom floor; also five
pieces from same plank twelve inches long and
two pieces from the 1O-inch plank three feet,
eight inches long. This is for the front and
back
To put it together nail one of the 12-inch pieces
across the bottom, piece at the centre and on
either side of this middle piece, nail two other
pieces twelve inches from the centre piece, then
nail ON the end pieces. Now, put on the 1O-inch
stuff, one on back and the other front, and you
have two nests made except the cover and the
saving out the spaces for the hen to get into the
nest. Now out of the front 1O-inch plank
SKI inch space near each end This is for the
hens to enter. Then out the same space OFF
the back end of the two first 12-inch division
planks, leaving at least two inches at bottom not
sawed out. Now the hen goes in at front near the
end and turns towards the centre, and through the
second space into the nest next to the centre
plank So this makes two nests. one on each
side of the centre piece, the first set up. Now
put two 1O-inch pieces together in such way as
to shed water for cover, and the two dog-proot-
nests are made. 1t will be best to saw off the
back ends of the two 12-inch pieces before placing
them in, as it will be, easier done.
This makes two. tests which you can put down
in the chimney corner and no dog will get your
eggs By the front and back being only ten
inches wide, it leaves two inch space at top to
give light and air to the hens. You can make sin
gle nests, double nests or long rows of ten or
twelve. These nests will save your eggs out In
the grove or anywhere you wish to have them
You see the dog has to put his head into the
front opening and then around into the other
back into the nest before he get the eggs
You see his neck is not long enough. This nest
will save your eggs from the dogs until you go
for them, and the doctors bill for setting the
broken legs or arms of your wife girls from
fall while scrambling in the stable loft for eggs
