 Drop Oat Crop.
 MT White also urged the farmers to drop the oat crop in this section or else use the black winter oat which is very hardy and will ripen ahead of "ust anc drouth. He said that the oat should not be used in a crop rotation in North Ala bama but that the win,er barley was much better and far more practicable
 MT White is quite severe on the grow ing of worthless brush and briars ]1e says that in all his travels he has failed to find market for sassafras and per simmon brush.
 After the meeting the grain car was opened All afternoon It was crawde q with farmers, who kept MT White busy answering questions about the many grains and grasses on exhibition.
 The merchants of Guin are co-operat- ing with the farmers in q general move- ment for a better development of the country and the growing of wheat is to be made a prominent feature. number of the leading farmers agreed to prepare soil and to SOW from five to ten acres each of wheat the coming fall.

 Before MT. White started on this edu- cational itinerary he travelled over and inspected the growing crops of wheat in all the leading wheat growing states and made arrangements whereby pure seed wheat for distribution may be had, go that he is in a position to accommodate all with this pure seed at very low price, there being no speculation what. fI,a rf of ha Lrric In matter.

Indigestion In Cows.

It Is a common expression to speak
Of a COW as losing her cud when she
stops Illuminating. The trouble is due
to indigestion wholly, and may be
easily remedied. in most cases, by a
proper diet. Usually this trouble oc.
ours most frequently in the winter,
when the cows are heavily grain fed.
but sometimes occurs with cows in the
summer who are on the range, but are
receiving some grain. In such cases
a good plan Is to cut out the grain "a
ton entirely for a few days, or until
the COW again chews her cud. For a
time after she resumes Eliminating.
feed her largely on the grass with
some good hay, and gradually get her
on to the grain. A day or two after
the grain ration has been cut Off the
COW should have a single dose Of one
pound of Epson salts and two ounces
Of ground ginger root mixed in tive
quarts of warm water. In the winter
reduce the grain ration one-half, give
her the medicine named above at the
beginning Of the treatment, and make
up the ration with roots or ensilage
At all times cows should have free &C
cess to rock salt, for it is a great diges
tive.

Top Dressing Forage Crops.

At the New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton tests have been made of nitrate of
soda as a top dressing on forage crops
In connection with the and
fertilizers generally used. In all cases
a very marked increase due to the ap-
p,ication of nitrate occurred, ranging
from BAL per cent for corn to 96.6 per
cent for barley-e profitable return
from the use OF the nitrate on all
crops except the barley. which, owing
to u~nfavorable weather conditions,
did not make q large yield.

Breaking for wheat.e

The early broken wheat ground is
usually the land from which the larg-
est yields are taken. The land breaks
well. No clods to mash, no packing to
do late in August. When the ground
becomes hard and breaks into large
clods a great deal Of labor is required
to get the seed bed fine and we'll
packed for the proper termination of
seed.
Then again the doubling up Of work
that causes SO much extra labor and
worry may be prevented later on at
sowing time. Instead of having to
break land, harrow. drag and roll, then
Immediately follow with the drill. A
surface narrowing may be all that the
seed bed needs before sowing the seed.
The work of sowing wheat need not
come in a lump, If taken in time.

Churn Often,

The best butter is made by churning
every day, but upon most farms there
Is not enough a to do this. II
churning is done but twice a week
good butter can be made If the cream
has been kept cool and then ripened
properly. Some farmers that keep but
two or three cows churn but once a
week; under such conditions, great
care should be taken to keep the cream
to fifty degrees Fahrenheit, If possible.
When cream is kept at a high tempera-
ture for a long time, the butter will
have an old faver. If cream is kept
much below fifty degrees Fahrenheit
It is likely to develop a better flavor.

Selecting Brood Stock.

If one has raised a litter of fine pigs
of good breed there are probably sew
eral among them that will make good
brood sows if properly brought up.
The individuals should be carefully
watched as they grow and when the
selection is made the pigs should be
about five months old. From then on
they should be separated from the
market stock, and until the end of the
season, placed on the best grass pos.

intended for market. From one-half to
two-thirds corn is enough In the ration

Costly Crop Pests.

The proceeds from the wheat crop,
the average annual farm value Of
which may be roughly put at four
hundred million dollars, have in more
than one year been cut down as much
as fifty per cent. as a result of the
ravages of the chinch bug and the
Hessian fly. King Cotton alone was
damaged to the extent of nearly fifty
million dollars by the so-called Mexi-
can boil weevil, in the single State Of
Texas, in 1908, according to a care
fully compiled report issued by the
Census Bureau. The apple crop has
been reduced as much as twenty-five
per cent in many seasons through the
operations Of the codling moth and
the entire list. The burden Is dis
t~ressingly heavy, but 1t is safe to as
sert that farmers themselves-who,
obviously, ought to know as much of
this phase of the matter as anybody
will agree that their losses, in practi-
greater were the scientific knowledge
Of the Department of Agriculture's
staff not put to account. A careful
survey Of the facts leads to the conclu-
sion that the total damage each year
would be from two to four times as
large were it not for the Department
Of Agriculture's unremitting warfare
against the pests, and that a maxi.
mum annual destruction of two billion
dollars, or nearly one-half the whole
yearly value of the country's crops, at
present, would ne possible.-C. Arthur

New Orleans, La. The cause OF
Southern cotton planters is to be laid
before President Roosevelt February
90 by the special committee Of three
Senator John L. McLaurin, of South
Carolina; j. NJ. Parker, of Louisiana,
and e. Ashcroft, of Alabama, named
by the Southern Cotton Association
in this city.
Prior to the conference with the
president, there will be a meeting Of
interested parties and from all oyer
the South on the night of February
IS at Hotel Raleigh, Washington, to
outline a proposition to. be laid be-
fore the president. Senator McLau-

ers, sDinners and factors in South

ginia. Mr.. Parker will name repre-
sentatives from Louisiana, Texas and
Arkansas. Mr. Ashcroft will select
delegates from his territory.
The plan of operation now is to get
the United States government to take
hold of the proposition and get Amer,
, lean cotton into me market of the

! uso cotton it will mean an increased
consumption of 25,OOOOOO bales an
