Fertilizer For Cotton On Prairie Land.
 Time to Sow Alfalfn.

From the western part of Alabama eornesr the inquiries answered below:
 have your inquiry in your recent letter. The soils of the canebrake vary too much for one fertilizer to be the best on all grades of land. can not advise a better proportion. applt- cable to all grades of prairie land than equal weights of high grade cotton seed meal and l4 per cent acid phos- phate. This combination would an- alyze about 10 Ia per cent available phosphoric acid. 1-2 per cent nitro zen (but equal to about i-4 per cent Of ammonia). and one per cent potash. You will notice that this is different from the fertilizer most generally sold for cotton and which is intended for use on sandy land where there Is a need for a greater proportion of phos7 phoric acid than onSyour prairie lands. The 10-2-2 goods are the ones usually sold for cotton, but in my opinion they are as rule too low in nitrogen even for sandy. land and much too low for prairie land. Moreover. regard the potash as needless on reddish prairie land and probably on most prairie lands. The little potash In the mix lures of phosphate and meal that re- commend Is there only because it Is contained In the meal.

How to Keep swest Fotat0e..

 Southern Cultivator.
 First, build a solid brick founda- ton for a house something like twenty feet wide and as long as you need 1t.
 Have a space in your foundation at front door and back door, Build the house seven feet between joints; use 2xlO for studding; weather board on outside and seal inside and fill in with dry sawdust which will make 12- inch wall that will keep the potatoes from freezing in cold weather; use 2x12 inch sleepers and have an air- tight floor in passage and stalls; on oi her side of passage make the floor in the stalls of lx2 and leave one inch cracks between the strips You can dump your potatoes into these stalls and the air will come under the floor at the door and whip around and come up through the potatoes Make loft as tight as you can well get 1t and cover that with sawdust and have a six Inch ventilator every fifteen feet and one or two larger ventilators through the roof.
 If you dig in a very wet time and the potatoes are full of sap. place a heater in your passage and thermom- eter to keep from getting the house too warm and dry the potatoes out. When the weather Is very cold stop this opening under the door.

The finest contour of female face. the sweetest smile of female mouth, loses something if the head is crowned with scant hair. Scant and falling hair, 1t Is now known, is caused, by a parasite that burrows into the scalp to the root of the hair, where 1t saps the vitality. The little white scales the germ throws up in burrowing are called dandruf1 To cure dandruff per- manently, then, and to stop falling hair, that germ must be killed.

syrup in Van xandt County, Tex.
 Canton, Texas.

syrup in Van xanat County, Tex.
 Canton, Texas. Farm and Ranch:
 I am asked the question: 'Is there money In raising ribbon cane and man ufaeturing same Into pure syrup in Van Zandt countyr I answer, yes. If so, why are there so few that en- gage in the buniness7" Simply be- cause we are creatures of habit. Farm CTS say: 'If l raise cotton I know l can sell It at some price, but If we were all to go into the syrup businesi we could not sell it. Hence the very few that are engaged in the syup bus mess in small way.
 I have a neighbor who IS one handed farmer, so to speak. He plants from six to seven acres in cane every year, and makes from 2,500 to 5000 gallons of syrup. His syrup is all sold before 1t leaves. his nlill at fifty cents a gallon. The only expense he is out Is the hire of hands to strip and haf- vest the cane and haul same to his mill
 I tailed to get a good stand of cane; however, we made 400 gallons per acre off of what we had planted. There is no special art in cane raising. The land should be well prepared before
  and one-half to five feet apart and the beds should be rather flat and opened with shovel blow. The cane should be laid in bottom of furrow and covered one or two inches deep. The method of cultivating is same as corn. It takes some 2,500 to 3,000 stalks of cane to seed one acre. I would say that farmer whose force consists of three work hands can plant and cultivate twenty five acres in ribbon cane ana twenty-five acres in'corn. This would or dinariIy produce 500 bushels of corn at twenty bushels per acre, and 1o,Ooe gallons of syrup at 400 gallons per acre.
 We will suppose the cost of seeding the land to be $2o per acre and the cost Of stripping harvesting and haul ing cane to mill to be $2e per acre. which is a big estimate. This VIII make total of $l,000 in expenses. A power mill wit. engine and boiler and evaporator, with sufficient capacity to make up crop of this size will cost some $500. We do not count the mill outfit in expense account, since it will more than pay for itself on the farm outside fmaking up the cane crop. From this estimate 1t will be observed that the farmer will realize some s4,- VVV net ol ms Oi"P OA eN' N acres in cane. l am now using syrup that made in october. 1904.

 outside of making up the cane crop.
 The machinery for crushing the cane and making tho syurp consist of one vertical engine and boiler ten horse pow CT each. and one power mill, capacitl two tons per hour. We used Cooks evap- orator in making the syrup. Our ma-A practically crush8i all the juice from the cane Hereafter we expect to use steam in making syrup.
 During the past thirty years we have not known a failure in the rlb- bon cane crop.

Peanuts.
:. Webb Howell h Exehange.

J. webb Howell in Exchange.
 Peanuts belong to the leguminous family which enrich the soil by nod ules that gather nitrogen, provided the roots are not pulled up in harvesting When grown for hogs to graze on, they make an ideal crop; Jney not only leave the ground richer. but in a fine mechanical condition. Like any other crop. the better the land preparation and cultivation, the greater the yield They respond well to good treatment and repay more in feed value for cul- tivation usually given them than any other crop grown. They are generally planted on the poorest part of the farm, too poor to grow anything eIse. Sandy soil is best. Plant any time from middle of March to July; we pre- fer about the 18th of April. when ground is warm and seed germfnates quickly as they mature about as early as when planted Q month sooner. Watch the grass and weeds, as it is a job to clean foul patch Of goobers. Plant in rows three feet apart and eighteen to twenty-four inches in the drill Cultivate same as corn, provid- ed you don't run around your corn one time and then lay 1t by with a turn ing blow, as that kind of cultivation will not make peanuts or corn either
 AS soon as matursu' harvest as soon as possible if hay is to be made of them. The best way is to turn them into good hogs. A good crop is worth $50 per acre, Let the hogs do the work; keep plenty of good cool water in a nice. shady place, and don't wor- ry about your hogs straying off, but watch our for those of neighbors who have no peanut patch, for they (the hogs), will find yours. You can all most see your hogs grow; they don't do thing but eat peanuts and drink water. and gain from one 70 one and a fhalf pounds or good strNaked meat per day Peanuts make strong bones, muscles and fine coat of hair. Plant patch and help raise fifteen cent cotton.

March Is the surest, when there is time to get the land In good condition. and to get prompt germination. How ever. when there are good seasons in september. permitting the thorough blowing. narrowing and settling of the land for several weeks before seeding. october is a good time to SOW and this fall seeding gives a larger crop the first year. However, 1t Is very diffi- cult to get the land properly prepared n the fall and then sufficiently set tied before the seed are sown. This settling is not necessary In the spring sowing as in fall sowing. think 1t geerally advisable for large -reas to be sown in the spring rather than in the fall unless there should be con- siderable rain ID September,

o'clock Thursday evening after a lin- egTing illness. He has been a sufferer from tuberculosis for some time and an attack of pneumonia proved too much for his constitution, which had been weakened by the ravages of con- sumption. He had been in town under the care of friends for the past couple of weeks and grew slowly weaker. Thursday evening he realized that there was no hope of his recovery. He asked those wno were caring for him to gather up his bills about town so that he might straighten up his ac- counts before his death. While they were absent. but for a snort time, he lapsed into unconsciousness, and though prompt medical aid rallied him a little, he did not survive.
 MT. Barbey had been a resident of Arizona for a good many years. Twen- ty years ago he was clerk of the dis trict court in Phoenix, which position he held for some time. For the last fifteen years he has been in the m- ploy of Stewart Bros, of Mesa, and most of that time has been in charge of their Indian trading post near the Gila river. He was well and favorably i known in Tempe and has many friends who will regret to learn of his depart ure.
 The funeral arrangements have not yet been definitely decided upon, but it will probably take place some time today. An effort has been made to communicate with Stewart Bros, but | up to yesterday afternoon no word had been received from them.

THE TEMPE DAM.
1t Stood the Last High Water Tn
 Splendid Shape.

During the height of the flood that has recently passed down Salt river it was impossible to tell just how much damage the Tempe dam and head of the canal had suffered. The water however, has now receded suf- ficiently to make it plain that the dam stood the high water in splendid shape At the best, the dam was small affair and scarcely expected to stand any great amount of water. Con sequently it is very gratifying to those who were responsible for it's construc- tion to know that the main part of the dam was practically uninjured. It is an ideal location and the vast amount of water that passed over it mad little effect other than taking out a little of it at the ends. It is estimated that three or four days work will repair all the damage incurred. Below the dam and between it and the headgate is an old spillway. When the river reaches such a height that the waste gates will not carry all the surplus water, this place is blown out and the water allowed to pass out through it. This was done in the flood the first of this week and yesterday the. work of repairing the spillway was in prog ress. To make the matter easier, the water in the canal above the headgate was drawn out through the waste gates and during the day little wa ter was run in the canal. In the course of today this place will proba- bly, be repaired and the water again turned into the canal. Work will be started on the dam as soon as the wa ter lowers more, but even while the work is being carried on there will be enough water to give the canal almost all it will carry.
