PIGS and Glover.

Some farmers keep but few pigs and
raise only enough for home consump-
ton, but where a clover field can be
used to advantage for hogs it will pay
to keep a number of them and sell of
tho surplus when the pigs weigh about
$50 pounds each. Small hogs bring
better prices and sell more readily than
very large ones. The farmer who
raises few pigs for his pork barrel
may count the cost and affirm that pigs
do not pay, but when few pigs are
raised they will consume a large
amount of material that would be Of
no value except for their use. When
the pork barrel is full the farmer II
at least fortified for the winter with
meat, and in many places where no pigs
are kept there is a, waste of material
that could be utilized with the aid of
at least one or two porkers. OF course.
most farmers would not think of try
ing to get along without Pigs, but occa-
sionally there is one who does not have
them because he believes the cost Of
raising few is greater than the. value
of pork Although that is not true in
any case, the clover patch will solve
the problem for him in the right way.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
COTTON AREA FOR 1000.
to Reduce Their CottoA
Acreage This Year.

What shall the cotton area of the
south be in 1906? This question car
be asked by anyone: It can alone be
definitely and correctly answered by
that great army of cotton growers, who
will solve the problem for themselves
and the world within the next ninety
days.
That the area planted in cotton last
year was too large there can be nc
question of doubt. But for the bad
climatic conditions prevailing in the
southwestern states we would have
produced over 1900. 600 bales and suf-
fered tremendous depression in prices
with the area planted in 1905, which
amounted to $1,000, 900 acres. it is easily
possible, with normal seasons, to pro-
duce crop of 100000 bales. What
is the sensible thing to do; cut the
acreage and hold production within the
limits Of consumption at good prices,
or plant largely, produce superabun-
dainty and sell at ruinous prices? This
is the question which now confronts
every cotton grower in the south. Di-
versifcation is the keynote to the prop
er solution of the problem. Plant more
land in food-supply crops; less land in
cotton; live at home, and sell your
staple crops slowly, and at prices show
ing a profit On the years labor. Cot
ton is to-day the cheapest commodity
OIL the market, figuring the true cost
of its production.
The true doctrine of. diversifcation
and reduction In cotton acreage will be
preached from every hilltop and val
ley by the officers and members ct the
Southern Cotton association during the
next ninety days. The entire southern
press will be urged to lift it's voice in
behalf of these two fundamental prop
ositions upon which the south must
stake her fortunes in 1906. The wise
man will heed this advice, and sxer-
else every possible influence over any
of his neighbors who are not disposed
to exercise prudence before 1t Is toe
late. Make your farms self-sustaindne
and grow happy and prosperous.
AS the markets of the world are
gradually broadened and the demand
increases, then, and not till then, let
the acreage planted in cotton be in
creased. Regulate the supply to meet
the present existing demand for con-
sumption, and thereby have a control
ling voice in the prices of the raw
product, when the legitimate laws OF
supply and demand are recklessly dis
REGARDED The farmers are the arbiters
of their future fortunes. We will point
the way to success. Pause and reflect
before it is too late.-Harvie Jordan

HERE AND THERE.

There lisa greater demand for ba-
con in this country than for salt pork,
hence the sides Of all hogs which are
not over-fat should be converted into
bacon. 80
Cold rains are not good for sheep.
Try to protect them, especially at night.
If they are wet provide dry quarters.
This will avoid 'snott" noses and
poorly doing lambs"
Good strong abered wool can not
be grown on sheep exposed to rain and
sleet. The water soaks into the fleece
more or less and the natural-oil oe-
ing washed out, the end becomes dry
and the strength of the fiber is lost
Essex rape should be sown at any
time after the 10th of April, or about
same time Of planting corn. Four
pounds of seed will SOW an acre-co&
ten cents per pound. 1t will grow On
any fair lands and give great quantity
of green grazing for hogs, sheep and
calves.
I'm selecting stallion to use with
common farm mares, size, form and
soundness should always be the first
considerations. 1t matters not how
good-looking. how speedy or how well
bred stallion may be, If he Is under
sized he should be discarded from serv-
ice rs q country stallion.
An acre of land yielding 300
pounds of line will extract from the
soil 4e pounds of nitrogen, IL pounds
of phosphoric acid and 30 pounds OF
potash. OF the constituents, phos-
phoric acid seems to exercise greater
influence upon the growth and develop
ment of the cotton plant than any other
element
Orchard grass is popular, will grow
we'll ON any soil containing a reason
able amount of fertility it is hardy
except in the extreme south; 1t yields
an abundant crop of excellent hay. A
crop Of peasc sown early and eaten
down by hogs or vines moved for hay
will be worth len dollars for the corn
crop planted about the 25th Of June.
Farmers do not grow enough crops on
their leads.

belief in the human SOUL He was not the
poet of mice people, only; he was inter-

him not only interesting, but hopeful.
His faith in freedom was profound, his
enthusiasm for liberty was lifelong; he
