ing better, though I've none too high
an opinion of the average man. He's

Lessons For southern Farmers.

1. The South should never buy
Western corn. 70 do so is an ac-
Acknowledgement of a dismal failure to
make use of the abundant bestoW-
ments of nature upon the Southern
States in the way Of soils and eli
mates.
2. Too much money is expended for
commercial fertilizers. This could be
greatly reduced by using homemade
manures and by blowing under green
crops which would add humus to the
soil and benefit it's physical condition.
8. The failure to produce meat
enough to supply the population should
be utterly condemned by every sensible
man. Some of the finest grazing lands
in America are in the Southern States,
and the capacity of the soil to produce
corn, cowpeas, peanuts and other for
age and green crops suitable for fat
tening cattle and hogs, not to mention
the Indigenous grasses, renders the
present practices unwise and fatal to
continued prosperity among the plant
ers.
4. The cropping system is most de
moralizing, both to landowner and la
borer, destroying the habits Of system
attic industry in tho latter, and most
effectual preventive to the carrying
out of a proper rotation of crops, fer
tilization of the land and a judicious
supervision of the landowner. The
practice of tenant farming is the fre-
quent cause of agricultural depression.
The country store becomes the creditor
of master and tenant, supplying food
and raiment and all other necessities
at a rate of interest or profit so great
as to consume all the profits which
should be derived from the crops. A
cash basis should be established and
the credit system destroyed. 1t would
bring about a golden era for the cot
ton States, as it is now doing for tie
corn-growing States.-Col. J. B. Kille-
brew.

Feed Lot suegesfions.

The success Of young sow with
her first litter has much to do with
her future value.
Good. clean, wholesome food will
never hurt hog.
Linseed meal is especially useful to
the pregnant and sucking sows.
A stunted fall pig is exceedingly
poor property. He never gets over it
if he does live through the winter.
A hog with short nose and thick
head, short legs and plenty of heart
and lung room is generally a quiet and
good grower.
Large hog houses are, as a rule, un-
satisfactory. They bring too many
hogs together, increasing the liability
to disease.
When the sows are all bred there
is no special objection to allowing the
boar to run with them and the grow
ing pigs.
With good grass, plenty Of wa er,
shade and full feeding grain, l IS
should make a rapid growth at IS
time.
The manipulations of the meat curer
will not make choice meat from an
animal grown, on filthy food and fed
in filthy quarters.

20 nnIde.a.Meev Home.

A home for sick, homeless and
abandoned animals has been opened
in New York city, where these crea-
lures can be in permanent homes.
Since October, 1903, when the home
was organized, 425 dogs have been
though in comfortable homes, even
though more than half Of these waite
were Of the yellow dog variety
There has been no dog so homely
or unattractive that somebody did not
want 1t, and there is a waiting list
OF homes open to these wanderers
who seem to respond il a wonderful
degree to cleanliness, care and good
food.
Not only does this charity aim to
rescue abandoned and homeless ami
mails, but 1t will take charge for a
reasonable sum Of both dogs and cats

Distance an Item.

In an article that we have just rad
the statement is made that it is cheap
er to pay $500 per acre for land near
to a railroad station, or other shipping
point, than to take land five miles
away at $40 an acre. That depends
upon what you intend to do with the
land. If you expect to grow oraI yes
or bulky vegetables, such as tomat es,
potatoes, etc, then by all means locate
as near your shipping station as Dos
sible. The added cost of hauling such
crops one extra mile would soon make
up for any saving in first cost.
But, on the other hand, If you are
going into the stock business, it does
not make so much difference. Cattle
can be driven on their own feet for sew
eral miles at very little cost.
Even in the stock business, a Local
ton near to transportation is to be
preferred. Fat hogs, either dead or
alive, are not easily transported for a
long distance.-The Florida Agicul.

that he gave some to his chickens and
they died.
Irish potatoes are not poison. ard will
not kill any fowl or animals Unless
it be that they had been deprived Of
all kinds of vegetable product for ONE
time and they ate too much.
Man or beast can eat enough of the
simplest foods to cause death, but such

The Onion Crop.

Since there are many buyers OF
onions in this Piedmont country the
crop Is increasing in Importance. There
have been some wonderful yields re-
ported, especially in Texas, in which
State an acre has been made to pro-
duce $1,000 worth. This is a good eli
mate for onions. With little pains
they can be kept well during the warm
summer. The usual way to raise them
is from small sets. The red and vel
low varieties are generally considered
best. The sets may be put out Octo-
Der / to December 1, or in open Wea-
ther in February. The way to raise
sets with least trouble is to select
thin piece of land that will not pro-
duce grass and weeds. Poor lands
make the best sets. Plant the seed III
rows about a foot apart, putting
little fertilizer or finely pulverized
manure in the hill Cultivate them
several times. They will be ready to
gather as soon as the tops die. Solid
sets. half inch in diameter, are best
size. The intensive system of culture
should be used for onions. That is,
they should be planted thick and high
~ MANFRED. If the rows are a foot
apart and the sets twelve inches apart,
5435 may be raised on one-eighth OF
an acre, or a plat 60x91 feet. The
potato onion is the heaviest ytelder,
and will make about three times as
many as the sets. The best plan to
get sets is to plant the seed thick under
cover. and thea transplant them. That
plan is not practiced in the South.
The onion demands nearly equal guam
titles of nitrogen and phosphoric acid,
and twice as much potash as nitrogen.
Wood ashes worked into the soil will
furnish the potash and lime necessary
for onions. If commercial fertilizers
are used, the phosphoric acid and nitro
gen should be about equal and twice
the quantity of potash. For one
eighth of an acre about 200 to 250
pounds of a fertilizer that would show
five per cent. each of phosphoric acid
and ammonia and eight per cent. OF
potash would be about right.

Spread Advertising Attracting
Attention as Never Before.

With the wonderful increase in the
business Of both freight and passen-
ger departments Of southern railways,
industrial agents are responsible for
The statement that never was there
such time as the present. so far as
investors and homeseekers in the
south are concerned. These officials
say that the advertising which the
south enjoyed the past year in news
papers all over the country on ac-
count OF the high prices paid for cot
ton has been attracting the attention
of capitalists and investors as never
before.
Never in history have the agents
received so many queries as to CON
ditions and favorable opportunities,
etc. And the number OF persons who
are coming south at this time for the
purpose OF looking over the ground
personally Is quite In keeping with
the heavy volume OF correspondence.
Winter is always the time when the
land and Industrial agents are busiest,
for 1t is at this season that men OF
the north, east and west come down
to Dixie both for the purpose OF get
ting away from the bitter cold and
at the same time to get in touch with
chances for investing their money to
the best advantage.
For the last few years this num-
Der has been growing very rapidly
because Of the wonderful resources
OF the south and the marvellous de-
velopment made possible by the grow
ing prosperity OF the farmers, plan
tiers and people generally of this sec
ton These investors have not only
made money In the south, but they
have gone TO their old homes ana
told their friends and neighbors oil
the exceptional opportunities offered
to small or large capital in Dixie.
TO q man railroad officials are
agreed that the wholesale advertising
resulting from the great profits de-
rived from cotton this year is re-
sponsible and also the fact that the
many banks which are springing UP
in the south In agricultural districts
everywhere are responsible for this
influx OF millionaire immigrants and
others who have plenty OF money for
Investment, even ii they have not
reached the seven figures stage OF
wealth. The stories Of southern banks
having been forced to send their
money east and west to secure inter
est on loans because of the citizens
of the south having ready money OF
their own and more on deposit with
no occasion for borrowing; have crept
into the newspapers OF the entire
country, and spread abroad the con
ditions existing below the Potomac
and ohio rivers,
Industrial agents of southern rail-
ways say that it is not SO long ago
that they had the hardest kind OF a
time getting anything OF the true sto.
ries of southern conditions in tho
northern newspapers, because OF the
prejudice. This prejudice was not be-
cause OF the civil war, but OF the
reputation which the south and south
erners had had this long time, be
cause Of the debts and the hard times
which had existed for years.

a Need az tI,e soutIl.


Fertilizers are more often abused
than used to advantage, though South
ern farmers pay out by far the larger
part Of the S54,00O,OO0 annually spent
for this purpose in the United States.
In spite of this tremendous drain on
their resources, there is an abundance
of plant food in Southern soils if prop
erIy handled to insure maximum crops
for many years to come. Thus the
greatest difficulty arises from the fact
that our people do not fully appreciate
the great fundamental truths on which
agricultural progress and crop growing
rest To increase the yield Of corn

add millions to the revenue Of South
