been drafted certified and filed
in the proper offices. The
officers elected to serve the
municipality can now at any
time, meet, qualify, organize
and begin their arduous task Of
forming a town government.
In this they will find that they
have 40 easy task. Every step
is prescribed by law and evory
step must be complied with in
the manner prescribed. One
single loop hole will often over
turn the whole thing. Ordi-

work is most important as when
once done, and done correctly
it will be permanent and the
machinery of government move
on without interruption as years
roll on excepting the transaction
of business which comes up from
time to time, and the drafting of
an occasional ordinance to meet
the eXigeneies of the case The
position of the present officers
is by no means an envious one.
The tasks they have before
them are not light by any means
which they will find before
many months, and when once
completed they will look back
over their work in astonishment
to think that so m UGH was really

A Comr,un ication.
Mr.Fditor;

- oltOl
The election is over
and the result is proof that the
voters wanted our town incorpo-
rated. | trust that the two OPP
posing factions will concentrate
their energies and center them
on the advancement of all the
best interests of our little city.
Although not voter l feel
keen interest in the town, hav-
ing some property here. and l
expect to make this my future
home. The uneaqualled climate
and the undeveloped resources
surrounding us are all calculat-
ed to make thriving city here.
l think every citizen should
appoint himself acommitee to
see that the Ratchet is buried so
deep that it will never be per-
mitted to see daylight, and on
its grave will grow up a united
harmonious and contented peo-
pie. The defeated ones should
console themselves with that all
could not be elected, and that
they still have their friends as
indicated by the large vote they
polled. Think the men elected
are fully competent in every
way to fill the offices, and will
discharge their duties faithfully
while the detected ones are just as
competent. With best wishes
for harmony and prosperity,

needs. Some years Of course the crop
failed. but year in and year out, they
stuck at it. Sometimes rust or drouth
caused a very poor yield, but COM
plete failure did not occur often enough
to discourage further efforts.
In recent years. however, for one rea-
son or another, the ma ority of farmers
have discontinued their efforts 10 pro-
vide their own home supply OF whea,
products, concluding that ii was better
to use some of the cotton money to buy
the necessary -four and bran from tie

ST. Louis proba bly,. The fathers did
not have the convenience of railroads
and merchants like the present genera
ton of sons and grandsons.
OF course there is not much in wheat
growing when one attempts it on the
plan of scattering to pecks of un-
washed seeds on an acre of we'll worn,
half quilted. soil that had been turned
up with a shovel plow-the seeds only
partially covered with a pine brush.
There is another kind of wheat grow
ing however that there is something
more in than there is under the above
rather crude method. And it is one
that commends itself to the young far
mer that is on the lookout for better
methods that will do honor to his claim
sified farmer living on and off the farm.
Take the acre that yields somewhere
from six to ten bushels of wheat after
the slipshOd manner first described, and
plow it close and harrow it well if nee
essary, then if small farmer and not
owning a grain drill lay off scooter
burrows "a inches apart, using for seed
a good variety of wheat that has been
grown in the South without rusting,
take 40 or as pounds and wash the seeds
in strong blue stone water and then
roll in pulverized quick lime. Sow the
seeds evenly along in the drills, cover
lightly and then roll the land. Sow
the last of october or early in Novem-
Der. Give the first cultivation towards
the last of February and repeat two or
three times in March and April. How
ever fair the land. it will always be
in order to top dress with 200 pounds of
some good ammoniated phosphate APP
plying it before or after the first Gull
tivation. For cultivating use cultivator
or harrow-one time to the furrow.
So treated. an acre of fair land in
stead of yielding six to eight bushels of
wheat will yield somewhere from flf-
teen to twenty-five bushels, according
as the season may be good or very
good. Let some of the young farmer
readers of this paper make this test
this fall and we will enjoy getting their
opinion of the matter next spring. Try
one acre or five.

DociIity of Pure Bred Hoen.

1t is a great point in favor of pure
bred hogs that they are more docile
than the others and less liable to run
about. The fencing of them it a COM
paratively easy matter where the
fencing of the others was a herculean
task This point should be in tself
sufficient reason for the farmer to pay
little more money and get pure
breds when he has the choice of buy
ing them or of purchasing others Of
the mongrel sort with rowing and rest
less proclivities. 1t is not a pleaant
thing to have hogs always breaking
out of the yards and pastures and hav-
ing to hunt them up in the highway
or the neighbors' vegetable garden.
Then the common sorts are hard to
drive and II is no easy matter to re-
turn them to their pens and yards once
they have broken out. The quieter
animals are more valuable for food,
as their muscles are tenderer. More
over the quiet ones make better use
of their food and will make more
pounds of gain per hundred pound of
feed than the others. The breeders of
pure bred swine are constantly select
ing, though unconsciously, in the di-
rection of greater docility and tract
ability. The interests of the breeders
of pure bred swine and of the farmers
lie along the same line. f. r.

Will answer about as well as glass In
fact, a pit should be provided with
cloth cover in addition to a glass cover,
for in our climate. even in the winter
time, the sun shines TOO warmly often
times through the glass for the good Of
the plants. After the severe weather is
over, the glass sashes can be dispensed
with altogether, using only the cloth
as a protector from any frosty nights
or beating rains. On all balmy days
the cover should be thrown back fully,
so that the plants can bask in the fresh
air. The vanished cloth cover comes

inside during the night and modifies
the suns rays in the daytime, thus pre-
venting any great change of tempera-
ture all of a sudden. All sudden changes
are to be guarded against.
After the walls of the pit have been
made the soil that was taken out of the
pits should be thrown back and banked
up against the walls in such a manner
as to turn away all water readily from
the pit. Where the walls are made of
plank, they should run up and down
and be pressed closely together and the
joints Slated. Make the frames as
close as possible, stopping all cracks

entirely commendable in the spring
must be discarded now.
The potato is naturally a cool
weather plant. In the spring, however,
the final growth and ripening of the
crop occur with constantly increasing
warmth. Fertilizer activity requires
warmth. Such fertilizers as depend
for their value on decomposition in
the soil require considerable heat for
their availability to the crop. In the
spring such fertilizers become access
sible before the crop ripens. In the
fall the longer the crop continues in
the soil the less and less value such
fertilizers will possess. 1t is, there
fore, easy to see that fertilizers for
fall potatoes should consist only of
those fertilizing materials which act
most quickly, and are available to the
growing plant without the necessity Of
decomposition in the soil. Manure, and
such organic fertilizers as cotton seed
meal and the different forms of blood
should be used only very sparingly
The main supply of ammonia should
be provided in the form of nitrate of
soda, which is Immediately available,
and requires only moderate warmth.
The form of potash used is, so far
as growth of the crop is concerned of
less Importance than is the quantity
The ripening of the fall crop must oc-
cur during the coolest part of the sea-
son. Ripening, with the potato, means
the formation of starch in the tuber.
Potash has the peculiar property of
aiding or increasing starch formation.
The natural tendency of the season is
to make ''soggy" potatoes, because of
imperfect ripening. Potash counter
acts this tendency. The quantity suf-
ficient for the needs of the crop in the
spring is not equal to this extra de-
mand of the fall season. The supply
therefore, should be increased. A good
application for average conditions is as
follows:
Acid phosphate, 300 pounds; nitrate
of soda, $50 pounds; sulphate Of MUIR
late of potash, $50 pounds. Half should
be applied before planting, and half be
cultivated in at the second hoeing.

How to Make the Peanuts "A Field

Crop.
The peanut is assuming every year
more and more importance as field
crop. It's natural home seems to be
in the southern part of the temperate
zone, but it grows far north when
properly cultivated. 1t is successfully
cultivated as far north as the Great
Lakes. We are not sure that this will
not yet become one of the successful
field crops of the sandy regions of the
Middle West. We have been treated
to so many surprises as to the adapta-
bility of plants to large areas of
country that little in this line now sur
prises us. If the peanut can be grown
in large quantities on our very sandy
land, it will prove to be a great boon
to our agriculturists. Belonging to the
leguminosae it has roots that carry no.
dulles in which live the bacteria that
gather nitrogen from the air The
edible portion of the nut is therefore
very rich in nitrogen. An analysis
of the edible portion shows it to con-
tain, in per cents, water 81; protein,
25.S; fat, 1856; carbohydrate, PA, and
ash 2. The protein content is there
fore remarkably high, and makes the
nut very good food when it is ground
to increase it's digestibility 1t is an
improver of the soil, as are all the le-
gumes. There is no danger of grow
ing too many peanuts, as the surplus
can always be used as food for swine.
One man declares that the peanut can
be grown in every state in the Union
and even in Southern Canada, and as
serts that it is now being grown as far
north as the lower peninsula of Mich
igan. If for any reason a crop of
peanuts should fail to ripen, it would
add nitrogen to the soil by being
plowed under. F. r.
