In many Of the Greek islands diving
for sponges forms a considerable part
OF the occupation of the inhabitants.
The natives make it a trade TO gather
these, and their income from this

a girl is not permitted TO marry until
she has brought up certain number

600 pounds per acre, according
to the crop grown. There is
nothing about the farm that pays
better than a good garden. Get
catalogues from two or three re.
liable seedsmen and go through
them thoroughly, selecting such
seeds as you wish to plant. If
there is something new In the
catalogues you wish 10 try, try
it on small scale, reserving the
greater part Of the garden for the
vegetables and varieties that have
proven themselves to be all right.
1t is never wise to supplant well
tried reliable varieties for new
untried ones. Experiment with
the new before you plant largely
of it.
The strawberry plants might
be side dressed with a complete
fertilizer at the rate of about 400
pounds per acre, but the late DR..
Porter, who was one of the most
successful strawberry growers of
the State, ,contended that the fer
tilization Of strawberries should
be done not later than Novem
ber. When fertilizers, especial
ly those containing nitrogen,
were put on in the spring, be
said it stimulated growth of
vine or plant, but the berries
were neither so numerous, early
or good. From this point of
view, if the strawberries were
we'll fertilized last fall, it might
be we'll to leave them alone this
spring, but in case they were not
sufficiently fertilized last fall.
then they should be side.dressed
in February.
Finally, February is good
time TO prepare for a succession
of crops for the hogs during the
summer. Had rape, oats, vetch,
etc, been sowed last fall, winter
and early spring grazing would
have been supplied, but if that
was not done, it is now necessa-
ry that provision be made for
the spring and summer. Hogs
cannot be economically produced
on corn alone in this country
Plant rape and oats during Feb
ruary; put in sorghum as early
as possible; have peas, if practi.
cable, and where they will grow
don't fail to plant peanuts for
this fall and early winter. Next
fall be certain to plant rape, oats
and vetch, rye or barley for win
ter and early spring grazing.

Suggestions For February
Farm Work.
Progressive Farmer.

NSo"Ai' SSS'h', Ct" ohho ! >A
January has been such fine
month for farm work that much
has already been accomplished.
However, there is still much that
can be done in February. L is an
old saying, full of truth, that it
Is far better for one to push his
work than for the work to push
him. BY taking advantage
of nice weather for blowing
our farmers will be ready when
planting time arrives. When
we say blowing we mean real
blowing, the real Kind that will
break the land deeply and even
ly so as to hold the moisture for
planting time and growth of the
crop later. There is probably
no farm work that cur farmers
are more careless about than that
of blowing. Let them now for
once and all determine that the
plowing shall be done in a strict
ly first class manner which will
also insure that aiter-cultivation
will be of a better character and
easier done. This cannot be done
with one-horse plow, and for
stiff land the two horses or mules
will have to be larger than those
generally used.
Much of the land intended for
corn, in this State, is bedded
rather than broken flat. Especi-
ally is this true where the evil
Hanson plan" is adopted. With
out here discussing the compare.
tive merits of flat ridge breaking,
we suggest that all land TO be
ridged should have that work
done as quickly as possible and
then reverse the ridges just be-
fore planting time. This will
insure better breaking of the land
with all the benefits to be deriv-
edtherefrom, which are many and
important.
Do not forget the stables,
manure sheds and compost heaps
The average Southern farmer
pays too little attention to home
mademanure We wish here to re-
port that there is no manure US
ed on the larm that pays as well AS
that made and saved on the farm.
Stable manure contains a great
deal more than simply the nitro
gen, phosphorus and potassium.
None of us probably know how
to fully appreciate good stable
manure. 1t is full of bacterial
life that is TO helpful to the
growth of all farm crops. Save
all the stable manure possible
and apply it judiciously. The
effects Of it do not pass away in
a year, but are often seen for
several years.
In the beginning of active
spring work do not over-work
your mules and horses. Many
of them have been idle during
the winter months and have be-
come "soft". Violent exercise
at first, until they become some
what used to work, may be hurt
full. Be careful with them the

soil is soft and the footing bad.
All these combine to make the
first two weeks the most difficult
for the work stock, and it is dur
ing this time that shoulders and
back are CALLED and digestion
damaged.
This reminds US that February
is good time to overhaul the
harness and work gear. First,
make such repairs as are needed
and then oil and put in good soft
condition for the spring work.
Too much care cannot be obsery-
ed in seeing that the collars fit.
One too large is nearly as bad as
one too small. Keep these col
lars and the shoulders clean
For the first week wash the
shoulders with cold water, rub
dry and apply solution of su

ed there is any tendency of the
parts to chafe and gall.
On account of the peculiar
weather conditions last fall for.
age of every kind is exceedingly
scarce. This should cause large
acreage to be sowed in oats and
other forage crops. If fall oats
were not put in, do not neglect
to put in a good acreage of spring
oats. Prepare the land we'll and

bushels per acre on good land,
using from 220 TO 500 pounds of
commercial fertilizers to the acre.
The Burt and the Rust Proof are
the most popular spring oats.-
On real good land the Rust Proof
may be more satisfactory than
the Burt, but on medium land
we prefer the Burt.
This is also the month TO ar
range for the purchase Of fertili-
zers as suggested last month -
Do not forget your club orders,
for the reason you can buy for
less money In large than in small
quantities. The same rule ap-
plies to many things. In your

ings-all you think you will need
during the summer. You will
not only have the advantage of
buying cheaper in large lots, but
you will have a repair whenever
needed without having to 90 to
the store every time you need a
point or some other repair for
the plow.
Again, this month is the be-
ginning of activity in the average
farmers garden. Our suggestions
as to this matter will be few this
month, not because there are not
many things to be done, but on
the supposition that the farmer
who has deferred all garden work
until now will run his garden In
about the same way he has here
tofore. However, we will sug-
gest more stable manure and also
more commercial fertilizers than
