At the present time we are looking for our greatest aid from ms t3'itr source, together with the use oi more machinery We expect to nave the coiton-chopper with Us next season, and also the cotton-picker A cottCn picker is to be tried down near Aicany soon, and they think il is re- Cuced down to a practical size. and are confidently expecting it to prove a SIC cess. Now 10 the point of this article.
 We had letter from a very large and successful farmer over in Clarke conn., ", Who writes that by the rapid use oi "eeders and harrows he has made this crop with little less than half his usual amount of hoeing. He affirms that the most practical way to kill
 grass is with these tools. just before and just after it comes up. Heeing is the expensive part of making a cotton crcp, and by following this plan it Is reduced 10 minimum. Mir. W. l.. feek III showing us his cotton crop made very nearly the same remarks. He said none of his cotton had been need, except to chop to a stand. We call our readers attention to this. be- cause We know many of them can im- prove on their present methods: in fact, there is room for all of us to inn prove. And as soon as We make one crop it is we'll for us to begin planning to do better with the next. No one can do better than to learn how to use the weeder and light harrows SO as 10 kill the grass just as it comes up. The slightest disturbance is sufficient to kill it at this stage, while expensive hoeing must be done to kill it after it takes good root.-Southern Cultiyator.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
ARGUMENT FOR THE SILO.
Veteran Feeder Gives liis Expc- rienee With system of
 SiIage Fecdia@.

have depended largely on silage as roughage fer dairy stock for 15 years I think that my experience teaches that 4G pounds silage is equal 10 20 hounds best clover hay. counting rough age only, but with silage corn planted as we do in this section, rows 3lb feet apart. drilled in the row one stalk to 15 inches, We get fairly good ears if season Is favorable. This very much enriches the silage. so that dairy cows fed 40 pounds such silage will not re- ouire more than one-half as much grain as those fed on 20 pounds clover hay, and l feel confident that COWS so fed with four pounds grain to balance will keep ill better condition and give mere milk than those fed % pounds clever hay and eight pounds grain. Owing to the more protein needed to balance silage, estimate that four pounds protein feed will cost five cents. and eight pounds of the more earbona- ceous will cost eight cents. Counting clover hay at S10 per ton. 2a pounds cost 10 cents on this basis: then allow
 
 equal S per ton value for silage In addition 10 this, if we add to the value of silage the saving ir the cost of grain feed, three cents per day. We save over clover hay in feeding a ton of s.lage $1.50. thus giving the silage a ytue of s6.50 per ton as compared with clover hay at sl0 per ton. With this system of silage feeding I believe that We can produce milk during the winter season. with good warm stables. as cheaply a. We can on grass during the summer. thus better equaling the milk production throughout the whole year, giving the darymen much bet Ter prices for milk. With my own herd 1 get as much milk during the six win ter months as l do during the summer. l have endeavored to bring out two points that I think all should be in- terested ;n; First. the value of silage; second, what does it cost to produce milk during the winter season com pared with the summer.-I..

Sheep Do Pay On the Farm.

Don't try to tell us that keeping sheep don't ray" If you do We shall be inclined to think that you don't know much about it. It has been pret- ty clearly demonstrated during the past that sheep do pay on the farm, and pay big If you want little evil dence of this fact just secure some fig ures for this years profits from sheep raiser. A Huntington county farmer who keeps a small flock finds them about as paying a class of stock as he has on his farm considering the amount of care and feed taken and the benefit derived to the farm in the way of manure and weed-cleaning. His flock sheared on an average of not quite ten pounds of wool this spring for which he received 32 cents per pound. His wool crop alone thus brought him about 8 per head, to say nothing of the lamb crop, which will be ready to market this fall. and the entire flock of ewes is left for another years work. This is pretty nearly like finding money, it is not?-Farmers Guide.

KEEP THE PIGS GROWING.
Secretary Wilson Suggests Il Ration That Will Make the
 Meat Grow.

James Wilson, secretary of agricul- ture, iE an address before the Iowa Swine Breeders, presented the follow ing on rations for growing pigs
 Twenty to sixty pound pigs:-Three ounces of corn meal to each quart of milk. Sixty to loo pound pigs:-Six ounces of corn meal to each quart of milk. One hundred to 1S0 pound pigs: Eight ounces of corn meal to each quart of milk.
 On most farms the supply of milk will be limited and in these cases the same station recommends the following ratiCns:
 l. Twenty to 1S0 pound pigs:-Three ounces of corn meal, wheat, rye or hominy meals to each quart of milk and then gradually increase meals to satisfy appetites.
 Twenty to sixty pound pigs:-Milk at disposal plus mixture of one-third corn meal, one-third wheat bran and one-third gluten meal to satisfy appe- tites.
 ?. Sixty to 100 pound pigs Milk at disposal, plus mixture of one-half corn meal, one-fourth wheat bran, and one fourth gluten meal to satisfy appe- tites.
 One hundred to 1S0 pound pigs Milk at disposal plus mixture of two thirds corn meal, one-sixth wheat bran and one-sixth gluten meal to satisfy appetites.
 Twenty to 60 pound pigs:-Three ounces of corn meal to each quart of milk and four ounces of gluten feed as substitute for quart of milk.
 3. Sixty to 100 pound pigs:-Milk at disposal and mixture of one-half corn meal and one-half gluten feed to satis- fly appetites.
 One hundred to 1S0 pound pigs:- Milk at disposal and mixture of two- thirds corn meal and one-third gluten feed to satisfy appettes.

HORSES IN GEORGIA.
The Wan Who Thinks Good Horses Gan Not He Raised in Georgia
 Is Mistaken.

We often hear it said you can't raise good hcIses in Georgia We certainly can not raise a lot of things in Georgia that We ought to raise. until We put forth more well-directed efforts in try ing to raise them We can raise a. good horses in Georgia as anywhere in the United States, if We start right and continue along the right lines IL takes three things to raise good horses any where in the world first. good blood to start with; second, watchful atten- tion and care. and third, plenty of grass and grain for food While down at Fort Gaines, We met MT. J. A. Roque- more, who gave us an account of his experience with his mare Lizzie B. Lizzie B. was foaled April "A. 1885, so she is now twenty years old, sound and doing good service, in fact, is be- ing used by physician, Dr. C. w. Holmes, who has large practice. She is standard-br Hambletonian mare. Her lineage can be traced direct to the Imported Messenger without broken link. MT. Roquemore broke her him. self and plowed her for sixteen years. He fed and attended to her She has never been sick. Now comes the inter esting feature of our narrative. She is a dam of seven colts which have brought Mir Roquemore the neat sum of Sl 400. two of them bringing $S15. He could have realized more. but he sold them as colts. All her colts were han onJ ness animals. What a history. Why can not our farmers repeat it OCT and OCT? Just simply of the paralysis that has stricken us through too much reli ance upon cotton, the negro and the mule Cotton is a great blessing under proper conditions. but we have turned it into a curse in many ways. A farm CT rises in our estimation just in pro- portion as he can show us his success In other lines of farming besides rais- ing cotton. You know joy itself would become monotonous with nothing else save joy. Variety Is the spice of life" and let us farmers give little whole some variety to our farming operations by raising more horses. The next thing mat appeals to our heart ana 1ancy after fine, healthy child is fine colt. And intraveling over Georgia and the south our heart" is made to leap at The sight of a young. playful colt all too seldom. Here is the way We put 1t if cotton is such paying crop, we ought to make money enough to in- dulge in the pleasurable and profitable pasttime of raising some stock. and if It Is not so remunerative, let us quit so much of it, and raise some handsome colts, fine cows and fat hogs to increase our revenue, the produetiveness of our soil and the attractiveness of our homesteads We trust many may be Ted to follow Mir.

All women work: some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the ncver-ceasing treadnill, earning their daily bread.
