When Turkeys Arc Anery.

In countries where fiocks Of turkeys
are raised one can learn very quickly
from their gobblings when they have
captured hare. If they meet him
standing still or lying down they form
in circle around him and putting
their heads down repeat their peculiar
cries. The hare remains quiet and 1t
is sometimes possible to take him up,
terrorized as he is in the midst Of the
black circle Of gobbling beaks and
heads. The language of the turkeys is
at that time incontestably Significant.

present instance they have Joined for

IL worth from eight to twelve dollars
to pillow under for fertilizer. Is 1t not
better to use it for that purpose than
to harvest it and buy expensive fer
tilizers? 1t furnishes the nitrogen
which is the most expensive part OF
phosphates. True, phosphorus, acid and
potash would have to be furnished, but
these can be bought in q concentrated
form and are the cheapest ingredients
of phosphates. Farmers are coming
more and more into the practice OF
buying their ingredients and mixing
their fertilizer to suit the need of their
land. Should piece of land be in
heavy, clayey condition the observing
farmer will see that 1t throws OF
moisture very fast in hot weather. His
conclusion will be that that particular
piece of land is lacking in humus, as
that is the element that absorbs water
most extensively and stores it away
for the future use of the growing plant.
His next step will be to put upon that
field some legumous crop like clover
or peas and by turning them under
the soil, give back to 1t the missing ele-
ment. After few crops of this kind.
treated in this way, the ground will
be in condition to furnish nitrogen for
growing crops, and the field on which
clover formerly winter killed will have
sufficient looseness to give ample sur
face drainage to obviate this difficulty.
Great possibilities lie within the soil.
He who treats it the most UNDER
standingly will draw the most of them
out. People are beginning to see that
there is length and depth and breadth
to the farming question. 1t is encour-
aging to see that so many of our young
men are taking advantage of the agri-
cultural schools, while others can re-
ceive the instruction through the read
ing courses and bulletins sent out by
experiment stations. The time Is COM
ing when the farmer will prepare for
his vocation as carefully as the drug
gist, the teacher or the physician

FEEDING THE SOIL
The science of Giving Back to the
Soil That which Crops
Take Away.

Il is astonishing that so many men
till the soil and yet know so little con-
corning it. They expect their fields to
yield heavy crops year after year yet
do not give back to them the elements
taken by the growing crops. Such
would do we'll to remember the four
axioms given by Liebig, the German
chemist. He says: l. A soil can be
termed fertile only when it contains
all the material requisite for the nu-
triton of plants, in the required guam
tity and in proper form.
2. With every crop portion OF these
ingredients is removed. A part Of this
portion is again added from tn atmos-
phere, other parts, however, are lost
forever, IL not replaced by man.
8. The fertility of soil remains un-
changed, il all the ingredients of the
crop are given back to the land. Such
a restitution is effected by manure.
4. The. manure ordinarily produced
in the course Of husbandry is not suf-
fcient to maintain permanently the
fertility of farm; it lacks the constit-
uents which are annually exported IN
the shape Of grain, hay, milk and live
stock.
Many farmers raise one crop and find
It q paying one. Without giving II
much thought or study they continue
to raise the same crop and constantly
drain from the soil the particular ele
ments needed for its production; ant
thus the fertility of the soil Is gone
it's productiveness impaired, ever
though the other elements remain II

are applied to supply the deficiency

mically as right management Of crops

Don't keep the breeding sows In
small pens. They need plenty Of room.
Ample room will insure good size in
the pigs.
As soon as the pigs are old enough
they should be fed separately begin
ming with light ration and increased
with care.
If the old sows are gentle the pigs
will be gentle, too. Animals that can
be managed easily are worth double
the price of those which can't.
Don't think that SO much food
thrown out for each hen is all that is
necessary. Give them q variety and
make them scratch for the most of it.
For the farmer who has no silo,
and consequently only dry feed for his
live stock during the winter, a patch
of carrots may be very profitable in
vestment
Feeding stimulating food to make
hens lay beyond their normal capacity
will produce eggs that will never give
satisfactory hatch. and the chick
and ducklings will die at all stages.
Dairy farming is only for those
who are ready to put their whole

Hay IN THE SOUTH.
An Industry, Almost Forgotten In
the south, Must be
Revived.

The hay crop is as old as agriculture
itself. Bards have sung Of 1t, and the
novelists have written about 'the de-
lightful odor of the new-nown hay"
From pole to pole it is grown, and
saved to feed the farm animals. Yet 1t
seems that here in our southland,
where the natural home of the hay
crop should be. we have never fully
awakened to its value as crop, or to
the possibilities of our soil in raising
it, with our long season. We have
been blinded by our one-crop, cotton,
and have become so narrow In our
farm operations that the majority Of
our tillers of the soil are no longer
farmers, but merely cotton-growers.
and do not really know how to raise
and handle effectively the great hay
crop or any other which would be of so
much value TO us. We have lost the
art of producing our food, SO ardently
have we followed the production of cot
ton, as if we could live by clothing
alone" But some are waking up and
all must awaken, until we southern
farmers become self-sustaining.
AS rule all hay should be fed on
the farm and the stock sold, while the
manure made by feeding the hay and
grain is returned to the soil to main
tain its fertility. But our city neigh
bors must have hay for their stock,
and it will not be convenient for all
to feed cattle; so, many will wish to
convert their surplus hay into cash.
Now we want our southrn farmers to
quit this "wishy -washy" business, and
settle down to a life's work well or
dered, systematic. diversified farming.
Let's do something. II the market Is
not what it should be, let's go to work
| to correct the evils and make things
right. We have never produced enough
of anything except cotton, to get q reg
ular cash, classified market for other
products, but it can be done. Let Z
dozen intelligent men in any neighbor-
hood combine together and raise q uni
form grade of hay and they can soon
get the top Of the market for theiI
crop.-Southern Cultivator.
