the cream, for two reasons, to develop
a desirable flavor and to improve the
keeping quality. Recent investiga.
tons by the United States Department
of Agriculture indicate. however, that
butter made from t'aSteurized sweet
cream has better keeping qualities and
remains free from Objectionable fav,
ors for longer time than butter
made from sour cream. If these facts
are established it might seem that in
the years to come only sweet cream
would be bought for butter making.
Commercial Egg Farm.
The production of market eggs is
probably the safest branch of the poul-
try business. aud the amount of CAPT
tai invested need not be very large
In the New England States, New York
and New Jersey there are many com
mercial egg farms keeping from 800
to several thousand hens. The farm
ers, too, I'm this section of the country
keep large flocks for eggs for the East
ern markets, and all seem to lie do
ing well and making money. What
we need in the South is more egg
farms. Lands are cheap, material for
housing and labor cheap. and, again.
it is not necessary in the South to
build such expensive houses. We have
every advantage In the Southland for
producing eggs at a less cost than our
Northern brothers, and with quick and
satisfactory railroad facilities to the
Eastern markets the South should be.
come the greatest poultry producing
section of the entire country.
Other branches Of the poultry indus
try may pay better than egg farming,
but none are attended with SO little
worry and risk and are 80 certain of
steady returns and a fair remunera
ton for the time and money expended.
Early Flowing Always Best.
Last summer we got a field of Wheat
stubblo about half plowed when other
work called us away. The remaining
stubble was turned under early this
spring, and the whole field planted to
corn. The corn ON last summers pioW-
ing is now several inches taller than
that on the land plowed this spring,
and is ranker and better in every
other way.
There is a difference between sum
mer and fall blowing, the difference be
ing in favor of the summer blowing
Turning green growth into the soil
seems to be very much better than
turning an equal growth under, but
waiting until IT has matured and dried
before doing 1t. Here on this farm
we aim to do all the blowing possible
this summer. 1t may be hot work but
the days are long and one does not
| need to hurry the teams. Not only Is
| 1t better to get the work done as soon
as possible for any crop to be sowr

us that the earlier the better If corr

The following report was made
by the fertilizer committee at the
last meeting of the State Farmers
Union:
We realize that the judicious use
of high grade commercial fertilizer
is absolutely essential to the pro-
duction of maximum crops. but we
do not belive in substituting COM
merical fertilizers for the rotation of
crops, the growing of leguminous
crops, the use of barnyard manure,
the use of cotton seed, or the thor
ough preparation of the soil. That
is, we believe in making full use of
all available fertilizing materials
on our farms and in the liberal
application of the plow, the best
known fertilizer, and then judi
cious, liberal application of high
grade commercial fertilizers.
We therefore recommend that
the farmers refrain from the use of
ready mixed fertilizers for the fol-
lowing reasons
I. The experiment stations have
proven conclusively that potash,
one os the three ingredients con-
tanned in ready mixed fertilizer, is
absolutely unless as a fertilizer.
2. As much nitrogen, the most
costly element in ready mixed fer
tilizers, can be transferred from the
air to the soil as is necessary to pro-
duce maxium crops, by the rota-
tion of crops, the growing of peas,
velvet beans, clovers, and other pod
bearing plants and the use of barn
yard manure and cotton seed.
8. The rotation of crops and turn
ing under of vegetable matter will
soon place a sufficient amount of ac-
id in soil to make it unnecessary to
use acid phosphate. 1t will then
only be necessary to use the un-
treated ground rock which can be
purchased at about one-fith the
cost of acid phosphate. Signed by
G. H. Afford. Orange Harrington,

The mississippi At Natchez.

Off Natchez, $50 miles in bee
line from the mouth of the great
river whose name it bears, the bat
tle-ship Mississippi has her choice
of water from SIS to 200 feet deep
to lie in and swing with wind or
current. She has plenty of room
to turn under her own steam. She
could go further north if there were
any occasion. Here are practical
facts we'll worth such conspicuous
demonstration. AS commerce
carrier the river as a splendid fu-
ture. No 9th nation has its
equal.
Off Natchez the Mississippi was
greeted with the most emphatic ex-
pressions of loyalty to a common
country. Henceforth she will car
ry an American banner with only
thrity-four stars, captured from
the Frederal gunboat Petrol in 1864
by company of cavalry and now
given to her by the brother of the.
captor. The Governor of Mis-
sissippi spoke of his commonwealth
as ga loyal member of the sister
hood of States, leader in moral
and material progress" Here are
facts of sentiment which alone
would far more than have justified
the cruise upthe river. Sentiment
is the greatest power in human
affairs.

the chain that stretches from the
scientific agriculturist to the prac-
tical working farmer. think Clai-

"The results SO far certainly IN

SIN Claiborne it is not only the
bookish farmer or the graduate of
an agricultural college that gets
the benefit of all definite agricutur-
al knowledge in practical form, but
also the farmer who was in the war
when he might have been in school,
or the one who had to work hard
during his boyhood and do with
out educational advantages. In
our county one live man, who has
the scientific knowledge and the
practical experience, which enables
him to understand and apply mod

able to every farmer in the county.
In fifty years state may be able
to educate generation of live ag-
ricultural students and revolution

time the men who pay the taxes,
work hard and die in ignorance.
In Claiborne we have fixed things
so the present generation of farm
ers are getting the benefit of all
the modern agricultural science.

and experiment stations to supply

penditure of only fifteen hundred
