ON A DIVERSIFIED FARM.
There Is a Greater Demand on the
Farmer for Skill and Energy
Than on Single Crop Farms.

The i that has to run a divcrsi.
fed farm has his hands full" II we
may use a slang expression that has
almost ceased to be slang. The man
that has to look after 20 different
crops needs a mental development far
above that of the man that has to
look after one crop only. The man
with many crops to look after has to
acquire 90 times the information
about crops that the mar does that
has to look after one crop only. On
the other hand, he does not have to
do SO much worrying about the sale
Of his crop, as the community around
any farm will largely absorb the crops
of the farm where diversified farming
is practiced.
On a diversified farm all the ground
Is kept in use. and sometimes several
crops r grown on the same piece
Of ground in one summer. One crop
may be- dove.tailed into another crop,
so that a new crop is being started
before the old one is off the ground.
The mixed farmer generally breaks
the old Jewish commandment not to
sow mixed seed in the field. He does
not find that the growing of two, three
or eve four crops in the same field
the same season damages his fields,
provided his land is kept well ma
nured and we'll supplied with humus.
On a diversified farm, declares the
Farmers Review, labor can be used
to better advantage than on a farm
devoted to the production of any one
crop. On the diversified farm there
is a demand for labor from n part
OF the season to another, and the own
er is also enabled to utilize all of his
own time. This is a great thing to
the man that is running a small farm.
In this day it is not possible to make
money out of any establishment that
is run on half time, even a farm.

Care Of Young Trees.

The young orchard needs looking
after. If the trees were planted this
summer, it is likely to need q little
extra attention. The first summer is
likely to test them severely. They
are weak and need all their vitality
to aid them in getting q good root sys-
TEN started. They should, Of course,
have had their tops severely cut back
when they were set, but this may be
done later II it were neglected at the
proper time. Every useful branch is

"a cure Clover Hay,

The way to cure clover hay. is to
cut the grass in the morning as soon
as the dew is OF. At noon shake out
the punches, rake into windrows be-
fore evening dews get on it, and
leave it lie until next day. Next day,
shake out the hay as 500 as the dew

after dinner. It spoils clover hay to

Ozone Poisonous.

f. The hosannas with which ozone was
ut first laden as the quintessence of life
and vitality are dying away in cries less
Mandatory. Prof. E. Wiedemann, of En-
1angen, says that o belongs to the
poisonous gases, and is the more danger
Gus since the injurious effects are not
manifest at the time; or the contrary,
breathing the gas at first produces a feel
ing of exhilaration, but afterwards it
has a depressing effect on the nervous
system. Binz has shown that it may
cause sleep. During his observations be
has suffered severely from nervous dis
turbances due to breathing ozone. These

he always experiences discomfort after

for a long while with influence ma
chimes not to have these machines sit

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS

The following is the weekly crop
bulletin issued by the government:
The mean temperature for the week
was slightly above normal. Daily
showers continue over the central and
northern portions of the State, being
weekly total OF Asa inches being re-
ported from Greenville and 3.04 inches
from YazoO City. Over the southern
part of the State there was a decrease
In frequency and amount Of rainfall,
only light, scattered showers being re-
ported. The showery condition which
has prevailed during the past two or
three weeks continued up to the latter
part Of the week and cansed cotton as
a whole to deteriorate. Shedding is
general over the entire State. and
there is considerable complaint of rust
and blight. especially in the middle
n delta counties. In the northern
counties, while there is complaint of
shedding, cotton generally shows an
Improvement, although the crop is
small and late. growing too much
weed. Cotton is opening rapidly south,
but owing TO excess of moisture there
is considerable rotting reported in the
lowlands, where water stands in some
fields. Picking has commenced in
some localities. Young corn shows an
improvement throughout the State;
old corn will make an average yield.
Fodder pulling is in progress, but re
ports of yield in middle counties are
very discouraging. Planting of tur-
nips and fall gardens is becoming gen.
eral over the central and southern por-

The cynical Labouchere, writing in
London Truth, asserts that 1.-The Amer
leans, in spite of their reputed shrewd-
ness, are the most easily gulled of any
people on earth by those who know
how to get at them" Is this merely a
railing accusation without foundation
or has it a modicum of truth? asks the
Baltimore Sun. Verify, there have
been times when it seemed that GER
Jain elements in u population were
easily SHARED. 'Get-rich-quick schemes
promising 100 per cent. profit every
year have found no lack of patrons.
But this is only vulgar finance. 1t is
in the realm of high finance and pro-
noting that the lambs are shorn with
neatness and dispatch. Still, Ameri-
cans are not more gullible than their
cousins across the Atlantic. Hundreds

The man who defined public opinion
as 1.-The stupidity of n multiplied by
the stupidity of many preferred cpl
gram to truth, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal. 1t is sometimes
formed hastily, it is true, and it lis
sometimes the outgrowth of an i'm
pulsive jumping at conclusions" But
public opinion is fundamentally hon.
est, and when it jumps at conclusions
it is usually found condemning some
thing which, at the time, has the ap-
pearance of evil. The man who is
scrupulous in his business dealings
and who evinces a fine sense of moral
ity in the conduct of public Office need
never fear public opinion. This has
the power to help along public moral
fly by demanding a closer adherence
to high ideals than the law can possi-
bly, prescribe.

biggest lumber dealers in the United
States. was in Jackson several days
recently. 1t was Mr.. Morris firm that
supplied the lumber to build the great
ten-acre establishment for Sears, Roe

600, 900 feet of lumber from the Nor
ris firm, and the last ten carloads have
just gone North. 1t took nearly 1000
cars to carry this great amount of lum-
Der to Chicago. All of it was cut and
prepared for market by the mills Of
Mississippi and Louisiana, and it is
understood to be the largest single or

The first bale Of the new crop re-
ceived at Jackson was raised on the
experimental farm of the Mississippi
Cotton Oil Company, near Jackson.
This experimental farm contains six
teen acres of land, and will make at
least sixteen bales in spite of the bad
weather conditions. Three weeks ago
the manager. Clay Sharkey, was con-
fident he would get a bale and a quar-
ter per acre. but during the past week
it has been shedding badly and has
thrown off everything except the old
bolls. Mr.. Sharkey is experimenting
so as to learn the correct amount of
fertilizer to use on cotton. He has
eight acres in Kings Early and eight
acres of Peterkin. but with various
quantities of fertilizer per acre, each
cut being carefully noted and marked,
SO that it will be possible to tell what
quantity and what brand Is the best.
He states that every lock of cotton on
this sixteen acres will have been
picked and ginned by frost. thus show
ing the value of fertilizers in another
direction-an early crop.
