NOTES AND

Letters literally by the hundreds
come to me from the Southern farm
ers asking for a fertilizer formula for
every crop they grow. But today the
monotony was broken by a farmer
writing to ask for the best rotation for
his section for the permanent i'm
provement of the soil. l like to an
swer letters OF that sort, for they show
hat the leaven of good farming is
working; but the everlasting requests
for fertilizer formulas for every crop
planted discourage me, and cause me
to think that the writer's do not read
the paper, though they subscribe for
it. When a man reads and puts his
brains to work thinking out a plan
for Improvement, / know at once that
hat man reads his paper to some pur-
pose. All over the country farmers
are taking farm papers and hardly
give them more than a casual glance
after they arrive. The papers haVe
no effect on the farm practice of these
up enough to really read and digest
one expects any one to read the pa
per and adopt every idea it contains,
for the paper is prepared by men in
various sections, and we try to have
something useful for every section.
But we must assume that
the readers Of the paper have
good common sense, and can Sc
lect from the various suggestions
what Will be of use to them. There
can be no hard and fast rule by which
every man shall work, but the princi-
pies Of good farming are the same
everywhere.

WATER IN THE DESERT.

In the desert of Chilli there is said
to be a considerable amount of hTack-
ish water, but no water that either
human beings IT stock a drink.
Science has come to the end Of hat
rainIess section OF the country in the
form of an ingenious desert water
works, consisting OF a series Of frames
containing 10000 square feet Of glass.
The panes of glass are arranged in
the shape of a V, and under each
pane is a shallow pan containing
brackish water. The heat Of the sun
evaporates the water, which conden8es
upon the sloping grass, and, made
pure by this operation, it runs down
into little channels at the bottom OF
h V and is carried away into the
main canal. Nearly a thousand gal
Ions Of fresh water are collected daily
by this means.

KEEP UP THE HUMUS SUPPLY.

On the deep black soil OF the re-
claimed land of the Lindsay farm in
the Dismal Swamp in Virginia | saw
last week ninety acres of rye that Mr..
Lindsay intends to pillow q l
asked him if he did not think that
lane had humus enough. "Perhaps,'
said he, but / do not intend it to get
any less, and l find that even on this
rich land it pays That average
farmer l wrote about recently would
do his best to get all out of that
land he could get and put nothing on
it, as he would consider it too rich
ever to need anything. And yet, Mr..
Lindsay finds hat it pays him to use
phosphoric acid and potash literally
to balance the great amount of nitro
gen he has naturally in the soil. And
that it pay is shown by his getting
100 barrels of potatoes an acre. In
fact, he is doing intensive work on
an extensive scale.

KUDZU.

That analysis of the kudzu vine
seems to show that it has a nigh feed
ing value, and as 1T will thicken and
hold the ground for years, and grow
like Jonah's gourd, it looks as
though there may be a rival to alfalfa
on the way. I have seen it grow near
ly a foot in twenty-four hours. The
seed can now be had, and I would sup
pose hat the best way would be to
grow seedlings and set them out about
ten feet apart each way and peg them
to the ground rs they grow. It would
not take them long to cover the whole
area. I hope that the stations will
experiment with the plant as a forage
producer. 1t is hardl almost every
where.

TWO FARMERS WHO ARE INDIE
PENDENT.
(MarShyille HOme-)

Mr.. J. w. Phillips, who lives across
the line in Mecklenburg county, sold
sixteen bales Of cotton last week for
which he received about 81, 200. But
when we learned a little about Mr..
Phillips way Of farming we were not
at all surprised at his success. He
recently threshed CT hooks of oats
which made IS IL bushels. Mr.. Phil
lips farms in such a manner that he
doesn't have to sell cotton until he
feels like it.
Mr. J. D. Marsh, who lives three
and a half miles south of Marshville,
is another farmer who does things
in such a way that the price of cot
ton doesn't bother him very much.
He recently had the threshing ma
chine at his home and it knocked out
542 bushels OF grain. That looks
like business to us.

tell it from his handbook.
