er. We are feeding some of 1t now,
and the stock all relish it; some of the
COWS will quit eating their bran or good
millet hay to eat the cane fodder; they
eat the stalks all up, so there is no
waste in feeding it, and the colts will
eat it in preference to any other feed.
As to the curing of it, the best way
Is to go through and cut about half
the shock row, and make small shocks;
let them cure a few days and then
finish the shocks, or cut and set in
small shocks and reshock in a few
days, but putting two or three
shocks together until 1t is well cured.
But we prefer the first method, as it
saves handling it. AS soon as 1t is
thoroughly cured we tie in small
bundles and store in the barn. We in.
tend running some of it through the
chopping box and making chop feed.
1t is fine for any kind Of stock, and
we want to plant more of it another

good thing he had gotten for his

Last spring he invested 81 in q

several cockerels, of which latter he
had selected four of the best ones for

fowls, for which he paid S15. They
were pure white in plumage and cer-

that he will get at least forty-fve eggs
from each of the two hens during the
season, and that he will make
a good thing out of it, even if he should
raise only thirty chickens from them.
This would give him splendid start
in the second variety next season.

Flowing Land Too Wet.

We never want spring to 60 by
without warning the farmers against
this injurious practice, which so many
are guilty of following. We know by
experience that it is very difficult to
exercise the necessary patience when
so much work is crowding upon us,
and the weather continues wet so long.
Still we had far better do nothing
than pillow when it is too wet. 1t is
always well to keep one thing contin-
ually in mind, and it is this: Our OBJ
ject in planting is not for the time,
or for the pleasure of putting the seed

Mixed Orchards a Mistake.

John H.. Calhoun. Tenn: My expert
ence in growing fruit has convinced me
that it is a great mistake to plant a
mixed orchard, especially of peaches
and apples. In the first place, the soil
and location that is best for peaches
will not give the best results with APP
pies.
The ideal location for peach orchard
is the north or northwest slopes of high
ridges, where the soil is dry and only
moderately fertile. Because If planted
in rich soil the trees will make a good
growth, but the fruit Is almost sure
to rot. A warm southern exposure
means the frequent loss of the crop by
late frosts.
Apples require a rich soil, with more
moisture, and my experience is they do
best in locations at least practically
protected from the north winds.
A second objection to a mixed
orchard is the peach trees grow so
much faster than the apple trees.
When planted together they make it
much more difficult to give the apple
trees the proper care and cultivation.
to say nothing of the injury caused by
the shade. Then crop of small fruit
or vegetables can be grown between
the rows Of apple trees for about five
or six years without injurlng them,
while think peaches should have the
entire strength of the land after the
second or third year.
If peach trees are set in rows with
the apple trees that is, peach tree
and an apple tree alternately in the
same row, the peach trees take so much
potash from the soil that the apples
will be greatly injured and can never
produce first-class fruit. have known
several mixed orchards planted, but
have known one to be really success
full. The peaches may do fairly well,
but the apples have always been
failure or nearly so.-Southern Fruit

Alfalfa Growing.

In the past several years there has

On the other hand, there are sugar |
planters who have been planting al

up the practice indefinitely, even
though, as they say, it requires their

average, alfalfa in the sugar districts
requires replanting each year. owing
to other grasses crowdng it out, but
the fact remains that with three to six
cuttings annually it pays 10 sow each
year.
One of our upper coast readers has
a patch of alfalfa that Is four years
