farm. That was, but it Is not true. From this time on the struggle in farm ing will be such as it has been in mer- cantile affairs for some time. The un- fitted in agriculture will have to yield for the same reason that many little factories, located off the line of trans portation, furnished with inadequate power. machinery. brains. have been abandoned. The farmer is wise who adjusts himself quickly to present con- ditions, so unlike those of his father. To do this he must think clearly and see straight.-Isaac Phillip Roberts.
 There is a certainty indeed that the professions are becoming overstocked, and no doubt that involves a social as well as an economic danger. What Is to be done to obviate this? There Is no single cure. but I cannot help
 thinking that more scientific agrf- culture might form an equally con- genial field for young men whose ann bitions now carry them to the univer- sities. The life of the agriculturist is not so dull even as that of the clerk in the store. a bank clerk or mechanic. He has afchance in the season and the pleasure of seeing and rejoicing in che work of his own hands. whereas the mechanic is merely a human handle of a spindle. Therefore agriculture has changed in that respect, and has an advantage over ordinary callings; and if it becomes more scientific, I do not know why 1t should not be just as interesting to an intelligent man as law or medicine. or any other pro- fession.

 The following correspondence rela- tive to conditions in Henry County is self explanatory.
 Headland, Ala, Jan. 22,1905. Prof. J. F. Duggar, Auburn. Ala. Dear sir--I have a few questions wish to have you answer for me for which shall be very grateful.
 1. On ten acres of Burt oats which wish to plant about February 1st or 18th, with a grain drill not using less than 400 to 800 pounds of fertilizer to the acre. how many seed would you drill in per acre? Land is good level pine land, and makes easily twenty to twenty-five bushels of corn to the acre.
 2. Under good conditions what ought may yield per acre to be in threshed oates.
 6. How many pounds in bundle will it take to make a bushel of theshed oates.
 {. What is the straw worth per ton and to whom could 1t be shipped?
 5. With about 200 pounds acid and potash fertilizer per acre under peas planted and cultivated after thesN oats, what amount of peavine hay ought to get per acre?
 c. would you not consider these two crops (oats and peas) worth more as c money crop than the cotton l could grow in the land. even if I were sure of ten cents for it? Oats are worth Si6.o0 per ton in straw and hay $1s.00 per ton here. We nave all the machinery, such as binders. mowers, rakes. and hay presses to work this stun Go advantage
 [. As to fertilizer. etc. The neigh bors have fields with only a road be- tween them. One has made a bale of cotton per acre on his land. Year be- fore last. he planted his land in corn with a heavy growth of peavines in addition. Last year he planted to cot tons using a fertilizer with a good per cent of potash An it. and expected to set bale or more per acre. but the black root cut his yield down to be- tween three ane four bales on twelve acres.

How I Built Up Some Poor Farms. c W. Biacknall in Southern Cultiva-
 tor.
 If having been the owner of poor land fits man to write about poor land, and if he is competent in pro portion to the poverty of the land then think am the most competent man in North Carolina to discourse about poor land. Some years ago l bought some so poor that the cNvner- ship carried a distinct species of dis grace along with it. For time out of mind, owners. and since the war, sue cessive tenants, had skinned that land, or tried to. for generally the land did the skinning. the tenants being poorer at harvest than at seed time.
 This lard lay convenient to me. It was free from rocks, hills and waste places. It was light and indeed, some what given to sandiness, and there fore pleasant to cultivate. I bought it. giving the owner considerable less than half the price he paid for 1t a few years previously, and set to work to make it productive.
 l did not intend for that land to break me, as 1t was said to have served its former owners. Therefore I sought to proceed upon economical lines Aware that of the three clements of fertility, ammonia, potash, and phos- phoric acid, that ammonia Is both the most costly and the easiest to escape the soil, l decided to buy as little ammonia as possible, especially as it costs about three times as much as the other properties per pound. Of course I had to have ammonia, but I knew that could get it without buying it at so much per ton. In fact. get it free. as the process by which got 1t,

, as will appear, did not cost me any
 thing extra to get the ammonia add ed. Potash and phosphoric acid I also needed largely. These I had to buy. ! because there was no other way to get them into the soil.
 The land was plowed and run of in
 rows three feet apart. In these rows I sowed a mixture of 150 pounds of I kainit and 100 pounds of acid phos- phate. per acre. Listing on this fur
 row by furrow from each side, I then split open the list with one furrow. This served to mix the fertilizer in the 1 soil, and also to throw open the furrow for the peas. In this furrow I sowed ] evenly early in June, cowpeas at the ! rate of one bushel to the acre and cov- | cred them lightly with a small tooth- cultivator. During the summer, as ! needed. they were given three blow ings with a srnall-tooth cultivator, no hoe work being required.
 The result was a fair crop of cow peas and pea-vines. The peas I picked
 as soon as ripe and cut the vines for forage.
 In September plowed under the stubble and applied broadcast the same quantity and the same kind of ferti- lizer used for the peas. This I har- rowed in with a disc harrow, leaving
 a perfect seed-bed. On this I sowed annual {crimson) clover at the rate of three gallons to the acre and dragged it in with a brush.
 The following spring, the clover yielded a moderate crop of forage, the land being yet too poor to raise clover
 with much success.
 In June I plowed under the crimson clover stubble, and again drilled in peas, using the same fertilizer and the
 same mode of culture as the preceding year. The autumn showed how my
 land was improving. The crop of both peas and pea-vines was good, might almost say excellent.
 In September the pea stubble was plowed under and crimson clover again sown. the treatment being the same
 as that of the fall before. The next spring gave very good crop of clover
 hay, indeed. This I again followed
 with peas, the cultivation and manur- ing being the same as for the two former crops. The crops of peas and | forage that came that summer was a wonder. It's equal had never been
 seen in this neighborhood.
 I now found that this pauper farm
 had been transformed into a very good
 one indeed. worth many times what
 paid for 1t. That fall I turned under
 the pea stubble and put the land in
 strawberries, my staple crop. Since
 then I have grown as fine berries and as fine crops of all kinds on that land
 as anybody has grown in the County. Every two or three years have rotat- ed in cowpeas or crimson clover, using potash in the form of sulphate of pot
 ash and acid phosphate on the berry
 crop, and my land grows better and better.

Agricultural Wisdom.

Agriculture Is the original. natural. necessary. single and universal busi- ness of mankind. Every other art, trade, profession or calling whatsoever is secondary and dependent and use- full only when and in such a degree as it may contribute to the one great and universal business. agriculture. We must teach agriculture. It is the social political and economic salvation of the nations.-L. H. Kerrick.
 Go to the country where man lives near to Natures heart; study him as he there meets the problem of life, and you will find literature which is re- alistic in the best and truest sense. Men of the country arc to our national life what the steel frame is to our mighty stone or brick structure when the crisis comes that shake the na- tion to it's foundation. It is the loyal hearts and clear brains of -the country folks which save 1t from destruction.- Ian McLaren.

There are but a few things more in

feel rich and the rich forget their bus

they are troubled with an imperfect
