GumptiOn on the Farm.

1t gets to be an old story to read
every year about the importance OF
buying good seed; and yet, thous,
ands OF men think they are saving
money by getting poor seed, 1t is a
great mistake. Inferior seed almost
always has weed seed in it. 1t costs
to reclean good seed, and that is one
reason why it is so high In price; but
we had better pay "a little more than
to have our farms all grown up to
weeds. The best is none too good.
An hour OF hard work getting q
stone out OF the public road is well
spent, even II nobody thanks you for
It.
Talk over your plans with your
wife as you sit around the evening
fire. You will be surprised to find
how sound her advice is.
For farm covering, good barn
yard manure Is much better than q
mortgage; and iudlciously applied
the former will speedily remove the
latter.
Here 1t is February, and In almost
no time the rush OF spring work will
be on. We had better get ready for
it by doing all the odd jobs We can
now.
Far above the production OF wheat
and corn and hay and potatoes is
the growth and cultivation of char
acter; for, after all, this is the main
purpose Of life.
Have you done your best and been
beaten? Keep stiff upper lip. Do
little better than your best this
year. You will win; only be true, fair
and square.
A mule may never be known to
kick and yet around his heels Is no
place for small children; for after the
explosion regrets won't mend the
pieces, nor clubs better the mule.
II you know a good thing, tell your
neighbor about is, 1t will help him
about bis work, and 1t surely can
not do you any harm. Bottled-up

FERTILIZER IS
GIVEN HARD
BLOW.

JACKSON. Oct. 18-Prof. w L
Hutchinson, director of the Miss
issippi experiment station at the
A. and M. callege, has sounded a
note of warning to the farmers of
Mississippi that will be money in
their pockets if they heed. This
warming is against the use of pot
ash, for which the farmers of this
state have been spending an av-
erage Of 100000 per annum, and
which Prof, Hutchinson declares
has never increased the product
of single acre in the state, and
therefore does not pay. "They
could buy 100000 worth of sapd,' ,
says Prof. Hutchinson, "and i:
would profit them just as much"
The writer declares potash has
never paid on the A. and M. col
lege experiment farm, and has
been found absolutely worthless
on the branch experimental far
ms at McNeiH in the southern
part Of the state, on the farm in
the delta and on the third farm
in Marshall county in the north
ern end of the state. Many exper
iments have been conducted, pot
ash has been used with every
imaginable kind of crop grown
in the state, aud did not produce
any perceptiable effect on the
crop.
The farmers of Mississippi who
have been spending hundreds Of
thousands of dollars annually for
commercial fertilizers of one
brand and another will also be
interested in the following from
the same authoyity:
We hav not found any form of
commercial fertilizer that would
pay on the college farm
That may be due to the charac
ter of the soil on the college farm
and certainly does not apply to
all soils in the state.- .-Meridian
