THE DAISY SEED FARM,
p. q. Box 45S,

Factories are coming Texas way
slowly. per perhaps, yea they
are coming-and the State is being
greatly benefited by them. Paris
has during the last half year Sc
cured manufacturing investments
to the value of SO, 100000, which
have added to the city $50 wage
earners and something like 1000
people. The family Messenger
makes this comment: cit is said
that certain Northern capitalists
are considering the proposition of
establishing in Texas a starch and
glucose for factory. With the
present grain crop of Texas we see
no reason why such a movement
should not be successes. The
greatest drawback to the South in
general and Texas in particular is
that the raw material must be
shipped north to the factories, then
the manufactured goods must he
made two ways. Texas with just
a little outside assistance from Ok
laboma aud other sections could
furnish raw material for an i'm

RUNDOWN LANDS.

y We have many times published the
Methods Of energetic and Intelligent

DOWN lands. Many instances have
been cited where such lands were
bought very cheaply and In Few
years OF intelligent application have
been. made very productive and prodt-
able Most OF this class Of lands In
the Central States have good clay
subsoil, which affords fine oppor-
tunity for resuscitatiom. Tile drain
age and deep blowing are the hrst
steps to be taken in bringing up sucn
lands. Deep blowing reaches down
to elements of fertility not much
drawn upon, and, tile drainage both
areates and draws off excessive and
stagnant water. Then barnyard ma
nure is used with good effect In max
ing clover or other legume crops
catch. Once this is accomplished the
owner of such lands has sure prom
Use Of future fertility. Occasionally
commercial fertilizers are necessary
when manure Is not plentiful. with
the growth OF the legumes there IS
promise of good live stock condi-
lions, and with five stock to con-
sumo the crops comes more abund-
ant manure, and this may be followed
with grain and other crops in the ro-
tation which rapidly increases both
the fertility and productive charac-
ter Of such lands. In nearly every
instance mentioned of restored fer
tility to WORKOUT lands. farmers OF
very moderate means but full OF IN
telligent energy, have accomplished
this work. They have usually OBJ
tanned such lands in the older states,
convenient to good markets and
counted on such factors as worth
much to them for their outlay OF pa
thence and energy. and have so sue
ceeded in raising cheap lands to dou-
BILE the amount paid for them. While
red clover has been the favorite leg
ume in this restoration. in parts OF
Southern Illinois cow peas which
also deposit nitrogen in the SOIL and
humus, too when plowed under. have
become favorite plant in the work
or restoring fertility. The live stock
industry when such soils have been
restored is a sure guarantee OF con-
tinued fertility. This has proven the
case in almost every instance we
have cited, and when convenient to
good markets the dairy industry has
led the rest.-Indiana Farmer.

A little extra care and skill In pre-

make large increase in the selling

dried and torn, often looks less at

parison with the first cost of raising

MARKETING.

In localities where collectors make
frequent trips and are willing to pay
reasonable prices it will undoubtedly
prove best for the poultryman to sell
his capons alive, thus escaping the
responsibilities of dressing and
shipping. 1t is not always poss-
ible to sell alive, however. as
when one desires to sell to pri
vate or retail trade. Dry picking is
the favored method for capons and in
picking the feathers are left on the
head and neck. on the wings from
the elbow out and half way up
the legs, the large stiff feathers of The
tail are also left. This style of pick
ing Is considered characteristic of
