Chufas, . Valuable Nut Crop.


 Chufas, . Valuable Nut Crop. American Nut Journal.
 The chufa (Cyperus Esculentus) is a variety of grass nut" but should not be confounded with cocoa or nut grass. Although it belongs to the same species. 1t is easily eradicated and never becomes a pest Earth nuts" and "earth almonds" are other names for the same plant. It grows on light, sandy soil. producing starchy roots or bulbs about the size of pea nut kernels. Great numbers of these bulbs are attached to the plants root. and lie so near the surface that by pulling up the plant 8 handful Is easily obtained.
 These nuts, when dry. are very pal atable and nutritious. much relished by children--both young and old-but are mostly grown in the South for fatten- ing hogs. There Is no more conven- lent or desirable crop for this purpose, as the hogs not only harvest the crop, but feed themselves while doing so, taking on flesh rapidly and making pork of fine quality.
 Poultry are very fond of this nut. and the scratching necessary to get them gives active exercise chickens are supposed to need.
 The plant thrives on sandy lands In the lower South. and produces well on soil that is too thing for artichokes. Potash fertilizers, however, are desir- able. Cultivation is about the same as for peanuts. Plant in April in rows, cover lightly. and give clean but shall low cultivation. Crops mature in September. and remain in the ground until wanted. The plant re-seeds it. self, as the nut can remain in the ground all winter without injury.
 There Is much of value In this crop If properly handled. and its extended introduction on sandy Southern lands. the hog raising, is certain to produce desirable results.

CONDUCTED BY rROH. .. r. DUG0Ans sow Draw Essex rape. alfalfa, burr clover, and most of the northern or cultivated grasses. such as red top. orchard grass, and tall meadow oar grass, these three being the chief com mon perennial grasses of northern lat itudes with which the Southern farmer need concern himself. All of these need rich land, relatively free from the seed of weeds and crab grass. The true grasses need complete fertilizer. which may consist of either stable manure or If this is insufficient. mixture of acid phosphate, cotton seed meal and some potash salt. It would be an advantage to substitute nitrate of soda for the cotton seed meal. an on soils rich enough and with sufficient clay for tine growth of these grasses. potash may be omitted. Unless alfalfa and red clover are inoculated, they too will need ni- trogen in the fertilizer. At this late date 1t would be unwise to delay to send for inoculating material. but 1t would be best to use suitable earth from some nearby patch of alfalfa or true clover.
 It Is full late to sow melilotus and lespedeza, which plants can be sown either on we'll prepared land or else in the grain crop and narrowed in.
 It is time to decide definitely to set aside the poorer acres for pastures or for cowpeas or other soil-improving crop. .A
 Artichokes may still be planted though earlier planting Is advisable. They require rich land or a complete fertilizer. For early cutting for feeding green to stock, corn should be planted thick in the drill. if not already done. This will supply green food before sor- ghum Is ready. Land for an early patch of sorghum, land for watermelons should be promptly prepared. Exami- nation should at once be made of the stock of cowpea and sorghum seed with view to purchasing promptly all the additional seed that may be needed.
 Bermuda can be propagated now either by seed or by rootstocks, the lat ter being the surer method. However. the planting of bermuda sod or roots can be postponed and done while wait ing for cotton to come up. or at any time in April or May or even later.
 The garden cannot now be neglected, the working of the early vegetables must be done. and sowings can be made of beets, late peas and late turnips, beans, leeks and cantaloupes.
 The present is a good season to in- crease the number of livestock up to the full capacity of the farm. Pas lures will make their maintenance rel atively inexpensive during the next eight months. Thoroughbred bulls and boars are the most profitable. The cows or sows for the breeding herd and the young cattle that are to be grazed this summer should be purchased as promptly as possible, If this has not already been done.

woRTHINGTON's SPEECH.
President of Sheffield Company Arous-
 ea Enthusiasm.

Tuscumbia. March 25-(Special.)- large number of Tuscumbia's most progressive and enterprisings citizens were enthused and stimulated by J. w. Warrington, vice president of the Sheffield Company, who eloquently ad- dressed meeting at the courtf house this morning along lines looking to the industrial development of Sheffield and Tuscumbia. He stated that his company had already expended $60,000 in Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumbia. which is but the beginning of what it purposes doing. There are several industrial plants lon the string" not including the s350,OOO pipe works re- gently secured, one being a larger and more important plant than the pip works. and MT. Worthington stat ed that his company would subscribe liberally to any manufacturing enter prise which Tuscumbia might secure.
 The only thing the Sheffield Company rquests is a list of two hundred sub scribers to water and a hundred and fifty for lights, furnished by the com pany, from Tuscumbia. a large number leaving orders for lights and water for business houses and residences.
 The meeting was one of the most en- thusiastic and harmonious ever held in Tuscumbia, MT, Worthington's remarks being of a most rosy character. He predicts great things for Sheffield and Tuscumbia at an early date. and the people have confidence in his ability as a promoter and believe he knows whereof he speaks.
 There Is considerable disappointment Tt among the employees of the Memphis division of the Southern Railway. Mon day of this week was pay day, but for some reason the checks have not been received. The pay rolls represent at least $4O.OOO. embracing the roadway. mechanical and other departments. and the failure to receive their money Is causing much anxiety on the part or the men who depend upon their month ly wages for support.
 The rumor Is current that the checks have been lost and that 1t will be nec- essary to issue new checks or to walt until next month. Very few of the men. on the division are in position to wait until the 20th Of April. as most of them live from hand to mouth. There Is a report to the effect that the checks were on train No last Mon day. the express messenger on which became involved in a personal difh- culty with another young man. in which he was badly hurt and that the checks were lost during the encounter. This Is rumor. not verified. How ever. the checks had not arrived up to tonight. four days past due.

RESTORED HIS HAIR
Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura
 Soap and Ointment
AFTER ALL ELSE FAILED

"I was troubled with a severe scalp humor and loss of hair that gave me great deal of annoyance and inconven- fence. After unsuccessful efforts with many remedies and so-called hair tonics, friend induced me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The humor was cured in short time, my hair was restored as healthy as ever, and can gladly say have since been entirely free from any further annoy ance. I shall always use Cuticura Soap, and I keep the Ointment on hand to use as dressing for the hair and scalp. (signed) Fred'k Busche, 2I3 East S7th St., New York City"

 An average of s425 per COW per month
 The sales of the pigs were credited because a good portion of their feed was sweet skim milk. As my wife two boys and all perform part of the labor, perhaps more than $750 per month should be chasged to this item. as we use $6 to $7.50 worth of milk cream and butter at sales prices per month, which Is not credited. Three to four dollars net per month for each COW may seem small to some of my readers. but 1t has encouraged me to prepare for doubling my herd this year.
 The object in writing this letter Is to encourage farmers to give more at tention to the dairy department of the farm. Unless. however, more feed Is used and more care given to make good grade butter, these figures can not be realized. Some farmers in this com munity milk eight to ten cows and only sell ten to fifteen pounds of butter per week. 20 cents then being tho maximum price; the majority sell at much lower price-in fact most of the country butter shipped from here brings 10 to 12 1-2 cents. Shipments of this class of butter will probably average soc to 1000 pounds per month.
 Our herd averages nearly a pound of butter per day each. and we get % cents per pound the year round.

Profits from Dairy Herd.

J. R. Donnell in Farm and Ranch.
 For more than twenty years I have been absorbing like a sponge the thoughts of other farmers as expressed in different farm journals, but have given out nothing in return. Knowing how little respect the average farmer had for the opinions of town or book farmers. kept me from contributing even when I felt like I might say something that would benefit others.
 Although farming is not yet my prin- cipal occupation I have been living on the farm (only a mile distant from my ofice). six years and have given 1t my personal oversight in every detail, working it with hired labor, hence now claim to be practical farmer. and as one such. wish to give some of my experience. hoping to benefit others.
 It has always been my aim to make butter dairying and hog raising the principal features of the farm, hence soon after moving out I began buying Jersey heifer calves and yearlings from town people who wanted to keep cheap. I also bought cows when a bar gain was offered. In this way good herd would soon have been secured. but for the fact that found about as many buyers as sellers. People wanting a good family COW would come to buy and as there was good profit in the business the herd was kept down too small to make beginning in the dairy or creamery business However, last March I bought a cream separator and made a start with five cows, gradually increasing the herd to eleven.

Ripping Up Cotton Stalks

It Is rather late to talk about this subject since three-fourths of the cot ton stalks have probably already been disposed of. However, the writer was so much impressed a few days ago with the success of the subsoil blow as mean of up-rooting immense cotton stalks that he feels 1t his duty to call attention of readers to this method of effecting a troublesome operation. On the farm of MT. c. c. Abercrombie near Montgomery. found Mir. Andrews had up-rooted cotton stalks of immense size and from crop estimated as yield ing about one and one-fourth bales per acre, This had been done by one fur row. per row with the subsoil blow.
 There is nothing very remarkable about getting up line of cotton stalks with one furrow. but the point about this operation that especially impressed me was the fact that the subsoiler up- rooted a great majority of the cotton stalks with an insignificant amount of disturbance to the surface soil and to the crop of oats which had been sown among the cotton plants. Undoubted- ly the plan of sowing oats in August and September in the cotton would be much more popular if farmers were sure of some means by which stalks could be easily and completely removed without destruction of considerable portion of the oats and without further ridging or disturbing the land. At one time the writer followed the method of sowing oats in cotton in September and October but abandoned it because of the necessity of cutting the oats very high by reason of the stumps of cotton plants when disposed of by the ordinary method of beating without blowing. Indeed. where cotton makes a large growth. 1t would be impracticable to shatter cotton stalks by this means. even if one were willing to cut his oats quite high.
 Readers will be interested in state- ment of the proportion of cotton plants not uprooted by the subsoiler. This was much smaller than I expected. So small was the proportion of stalks left standing and so much were these loos- ened that Mir Andrews estimated that one hand pulled and punched the stalks on three acres of land per day follow ing behind the subsoiler. This would be a cost of only 20 cents per acre for the hand work of removing the stalks. Since the subsoiler in four-foot rows should get over about seven acres per day, there would be a further expense for blow work of about 30 cents per acre. Adding to this the charge for hauling, or as many would prefer. burn ing. the total cost of removing these immense stalks was probably not over 75 cents per acre, This surely is a very moderate cost for such work. con- sidering the size of the stalks
