COTTON ACREAGE FOR 1910
Diversified Farming Is the Salvation of the Southern Farmer-One-
 Crop Idea Is All Wrong.

It occurs to me that the southern people are in better way to farm than they have been for many years, if we will only avail ourselves of the advantages that we have gained, writes John o. Allen, special agent of the department of agriculture in Farm and Ranch. l would suggest that we reduce the present acreage of cotton below what it is and make the re- mainder better, less acres and better cotton. This can be easily done by adopting better methods of prepara- tion and cultivation, by using better seed and by fertilization; better inn Dlements and crop rotation. All cot ton, or the one-crop idea, will bring us to grief sooner or later. Diversified farming is the salvation of this south land of ours, and the sooner we prac- tice it in earnest the sooner we will get on a level with the balance of the progressive farmers.
 It is much better to raise one bale of cotton on one acre than on three acres. This can be done by employing the proper methods I see no reason why the farmer should not study and get up better methods in his business as well as the merchant and the bank CT and other business men. In my opinion it takes more thought and in- vestigation properly to conduct a farm than any business that we engage in. Then if we will put our heads as well as our hands into our work, it will be easy to make one acre produce in cotton tor corn) what three formerly produced.
 It is true that cotton is the main money crop of the south, and it be- comes more so when backed up by other crops. Then let us plant less acres in cotton and better acres: then raise lots of feedstuffs of all kinds, and raise better stock on our farms; build better houses, better barns and live at home and be contented and happy. Then let us reduce the cot ton average and increase the other crops, and we will be sure to get a good price for our cotton and also other crops next fall
 For my part am not going to plant all of my land in cotton and my fence corners besides, for l have learned long since that it is foolishness in the extreme to stick to the one-crop idea.
 am glad that there is being so much interest manifested in the farm work this year, and if we will be care ful about our cotton acreage and re- duce it some at least, then we will be able to increase this little wave of prosperity that has struck us. Will we do this? It is what we do that brings things to pass, and not what we think

No Encouragement.


 The family had stood the long strain of Uncle Hobarts illness well but the peculiarities of the physician chosen by Uncle Hobart himself, had been to say the least, trying. Do you really think he will recover, Dr Shawl" asked the oldest sister of the invalid, who had borne with his vagaries patiently for years.
 q know how you feel, with Thanks giving coming on and all,' said the doctor, peering at her from under his shaggy eyebrows, but it's too soon to tell. He may get well, and then again, he may not; I cant encourage you yet-either way.'-Youth's Com. panion.

SorreI in Meadows.

Sorrel usually appears in meadows, pastures and land not in cultivation It does it's greatest damage in meadows and pastures in crowding out the tame grasses and forage plants. To eradi- cate sorrel plant the land to corn, that requires several cultivations during the growing season. It is low growing and not very persistent, and is easily killed out if none of the plants are allowed to go to seed. Cultivation must be commenced early and con- tinued till late in the growing sea son, as the plants will blossom and go to seed from May till September, or till frost

Pity the Poor Cowboy!

Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, the famous food expert, said at dinner in Wash ington, apropos of the meat boycott and the cold storage discussion:
 "The trend of modern life seems on the surface to be toward preserved in- stead of fresh foods, but there is no such trend, save among certain deal CTS.

Testing Dairy Cows.

The Dairy Testing association at Minot, Me, includes owners of 635 cows, and two men are required all the time to carry on the testing. One tester reports results from 28 herds, numbering 315 COWS. The cost of a pound of butter from these cows shows surprising range. The low. est cost of a pound of butter from a COW was IA cents, contrasting with a cost of 98 cents per pound for butter from the best COW. Such range well justifies expense of careful testing oi the work of members of the herd

Care of Horses Feet.

If the horse already has defective feet keep them carefully trimmed and shod if necessary. The soft hoof should be shod and feshod every six or eight weeks in winter where the ground is frozen and at all times of the year where the roads are rocked or graveled. By keeping the horse with poor feet properly shod it will do good service without loss of time But it is best to breed for good feet
