Putting Implements I'm Order.

From now on the farmer will nave
use for his plows, harrows, disc plow
and other implements to put In his
crops. It is Of marked Importance that
all the tools should be in order, sharp.
and in condition to do the best work
with the least effort Of human or horse
power. A small forge and bellows can
be purchased for a small sum, and will
pay for themselves in one season. The
boys on the farm should be taught the
use of saw, adj, drawing knife, how to
sharpen plow points, how to mend
link in a. trace chain, how to mend
broken plow stock, to put threads on
a bolt, and a dozen other things that
can be done at home in less time than
it will require to go to the blacksmith
in town.
In this age time must not be wasted.
or the period for planting the crop will
be delayed. Have q grindstone that
can be turned with q treadle to keep
hatchets and other tools on 3 keen
edge.
The wise farmer will keep all these
implements on the farm, and the boys
will be better farmers and do theil
work more cheerfully when these CON
veniences are placed at their com.

Red Cross Help for Japan.


The National Red Cross society Of
the United States has been SO demoral-
ized by its own internal strife In re-
cent years that It has not Of late been
an effective agency Of philanthropy.
But the reorganization accomplished
under supervision Of congress has put
the society once more In excellent
working trim. Coming forward now
to offer its services for reaching and
feeding the starving peasantry Of
northern Japan, It eminently deserves.
says the Interior. the benevolent aid of
all generous Americans. The state
ment that the society is ready to re.
ceive and distribute funds has brought
out from President Roosevelt strong
public appeal for contributions to the
society's treasury for this object. The
crisis in the stricken portion Of the
japanese islands is as severe as India
experienced a few years ago. and
equally calls for International char
ity. Not less than $4,000 human be
ings are being reduced to living on
roots and bark, and the death rate IL
already appalling. Gifts forwarded to
Hon. G. Hallam Keep, assistant secre-
tary Of the treasury, Washington, will!
be applied by the most reliable agenti
direct to this terrific need.

How the Farmers Lose.

The farmers should devote more a
their thought and labor to improving
their soils than any one thing on the
farm. The educated farmer can cut
tivate his fields summer and winter,
growing large crops and yet improv-
ing the fertility Of the soil. The Ag-
riculturist has been expounding this
process and urging its readers to
adopt this prolific and enriching sys-
TEN. Every soil tiller could have hairy
vetch and barley now four inches high
on the land where corn or cotton grew
in the summer, but they have neglect
ed, and each acre loses the nitrogen
and the stock loses the. nitrogenoua

our own ilterests!-Southern Agricul-

THE HEN ON TIE FARM.
Don't Sell on the Young Pallets
Start Right This Year and
Watch Results.

The great trouble with most people
ON the farm is, that II they get 4
brood or two Of early-hatched chicks
just as soon as they are large enough
they are taken to town and sold as
fryers; tempted, no doubt, by the high
er price at that season.
This is all wrong. Sell the cock
erels, but save the pullets, and before
next Christmas you will have sold more
eggs from them than you would have
received cash as fryers-and still have
your chickens.
don't mean Of course that you should
keep all, but you should keep the most
promising; and they can be. e.readily told
at eight weeks old.
Please do let us start right with our
chickens this year. and see II we can
not make them pay better than they did
last season. l have been hammerirg on
the winter egg subject for years, but
hope to see the day when the south
will have no further use for cold-storage
eggs, bought up in the west and middle
west in May and June, kept six months
and sent south about the time the gov
ernor issues his Thanksgiving procla-
nation, like "Me too Platt" after the
president has named the day.
Our northern friends do not consume
near so many cold-storage eggs as we
do, except when they buy bakers cake
for they, with the poorer classes OF the
north, are the principal users OF the
six-months-old article, while here IN
the south almost every one, rich and
poor, and even some Of the big (?)
farmers depend largely on store eggs
packed by the beef trust, for their win
ter supply. The whole trouble, folks
is that the farmers and raisers OF poul-
try simply don't understand the busi'
ness, and If they would only read q lit
tie more and take a deeper interest II
the subject. they would soon find thai
there is more money in fifteen standard

FARMER AND PLANTER.
FIGHTING A FARM PEST.
Wild Ouions or Garlic and How to
Get Rid of the Worst Weed
known to Farmers.

The wild onion flor more properly
garlic) is now the worst weed known
to farmers along the middle Atlantic
coast-from Pennsylvania to South
Carolina. It is especially bad in moist,
thin pasture land. When this weed is
eaten by milch cows the milk acquires
most offensive odor, which odor is
in turn communicated to the cream and
butter. The weed, when 1t occurs in
wheat fields, ruins the wheat for -four.
The wild garlic is fall and winter
growing plant 1t usually occurs in
punches or patches in grass lands; but
in badly-cultivated lands, and in grain
fields, the plants are more commonly
scattered.
The plant is perennial It propagates
by means of underground offsets or
Gloves" and also by small bulblets
BONE in bunch at top Of stem. In
this country the garlic does not bear
true seeds.
The weed is usually introduced into
new localities with wheat seed in which
| it is rather common adulterant. the
underground bulbs are also often dis
tributed along with strawberry and
otLer fruit plants.
The garlic is very hardy and az
gressive weed, and can thrive upon
any soil not too dry. It, however, Is
more commonly found upon this soils
which lack potash and lime.
When a pasture is badly infected with
garlic it should be plowed up in the
fall and narrowed with spring tooth
harrow to bring as many Of the root
bulbs to the surface as possible. ne
harrow the land twice month. until
late spring. Then fertlizie the land
heavily with kainit and lime, and SOW
thickly with one of the trailing varl'
cites Of cowpea. The Conch pea Is bes'
for this purpose. The unknown" pee
Is also good. In September plow un'
der the growth Of pea-vines and apply
600 to 1000 pounds Of fresh water
Stacked lime. (The undersigned will bt
glad to furnish to any North Carolina
farmer addresses Of lime companle!
who will supply caustic lime at abou'
1925 per ton delivered at nearest ran
road station.) Sow the lined land II
crimson clover, using 20 pounds o.
cleaned seed, or 45 pounds Of seed II
hull. Cut the clover for hay the 1oi
lowing spring, as soon as the first flow
ers appear. Immediately plow the lano
and keep it clean by means OF tn
spring-tooth harrow until it Is plante'
1
in some hoed crop, Of which cotton Il
the best. Corn or drilled sorghum
may be used. Watch the field carefully
and II any scattering garlic plants com
I'm in the rows pull them out by hand
IF this system is faithfully carried ou
the worst infested fields can be cleane'
of garlic In two years.
when the weed appears in a law
which can not be treated as above men
tioned. the best plan is to buy one o
more gallons Of commercial sulphur,
ac;d or crude carbolic acid and appl
a half-teaspoonfu Of these to the root
| of the garlic plant, A tablespoonful
anr1ied rear the center of patch Q

LIVE STOCK ON THE FARM.
per.s.tent Use Of Thoroughbres
Males the Best Way to Succeee
with stock.

The cheapest, quicket and, IN q large
majority Of cases, the best way Dy
which farmer of comparatively limit
ed means can improve and build up
either his cattle, sheep or hogs IS oy
the persistent use Of thoroughbred
males. the very best that he can a6ord
to either buy or pay service for. These
should be representatives OF the breed
which most nearly corresponds to his
ideals: breed these on the best females
he has on his place, and continue 70
nsa the thoroughbred blood, but OF .
different sire, on the best females from
the first cross for several successive
generations. The progeny. after nve
or more crosses Of this kind, Will have
the most desirable qualities OF the
thoroughbred, and for all practical
purposes will be equally as valuable.
The most noticeable Improvement IN
using the thoroughbred males will be
in the produce from the first cross, and
to this cause can be attributed In .
great measure most Of the failures by
the average farmer to build up the
common stock of the country. They
are generally content with the wonder
full Improvement shown In the progeny
Of the first one or two crosses OF the
thoroughbred blood and cease to fol-
low it up and continue the use OF good
sires, oftentimes using the grades as
sires. Deterioration is the inevitable
result, and two such crosses WILL throw
the produce back to the original scrub
from which it sprang.
But with continued use Of thorough
bred sires of the same breed tor four
or five years in the case OF hogs and
sheep, and for six or eight years with
cattle. the farmer will have animals
Of these different breeds equal, a.
above stated, to the thoroughbreds fof
all practical purposes, and lacking
only the qualification Of registration in
the different herd registers. The lack
Of this would necessarily detract from
the sale of the stock for breeding pur-
poses. but aside from this the regis
tered animals have no advantage over
them.
Before starting out to improve his
stock the beginner should be first sat
isfied with his ideal Of what he wants.

"I have been surprised and puzzled by

piled. 'It seems that after my de-

your long absence you had obtained the
help Of some strong ally and were to
return and by mighty hand wrest de-
liverance from Egypt. And when You
came with your staff and simple shep-
herds dress Of the east, the people lost

ever come with such leader?"
An anxious, troubled look crossed
Moses face, but 1t soon gave place to one

will believe. God Is mightier than all
