TOBACCO OUTLOOK SLIM

From what The Herald can learn
about the situation there will not be
raised in Rockingham and stokes
counties this Year oven under the
most favorable conditions from now
on more than half the usual crop Of
tobacco.
Owing to the extended drouth not
more than half a crop has been set
deal of that has died. some contend
ing that not over tWO-thirds is living
Many farmers who usually plant large
crops have this Year planted scarcely
any and have planted corn and meas
on the land prepared for tobacco.
Many other farmers. who have the
guano in the ground and who have
the plants. are still waiting for a sea
son and intend to plant crop if
there is any possible chance
There now seems to be no doubt
whatever that We viii get chance
to find out this fall whether the
good old law Of supply and demand
has anything 10 do with the price Of
tobacco or not. The Herald is very

In the first place that swamp or bay

tf organic matter and potential nitro
gen is usually deficient in paosphoric
acfd and potash. especially in potash.
Now. peas will get nitrogen from the
air on land that is deficient in nitro
en-. but not so much where the land
has aIreadv a supply at hand. But
peas draw more heavily on tee phos-
rhoYj. acid and potash than most 9TH
or crQns. and yeur peas taken off the
land reduced the supply Of these that
WAS already too small In the second
place. yCu crested - tie land That

burned off the growth. Thus YOU de-

There is lust the difference in the Two.
You can run land down with peas
so far as the mineral matters are con-
cerned. as much as with any crop
grown. and sowing peas on a piece of
land where these mineral mat ters We're

DAIRY BARN DOOR KEPT OPEN
One Of the Many Modern convenIen.
ces Of Farm LILO That Tends
Materially to So e Steps.

In order to make q fastener that
will keep the dairy barn door open,
first set good solid post for the door
to open out against. Make wooden
hook as shown in the illustration with
a slipping point eight inches from the
notch. This length Is sufficient to
make an easy bevel. A great many
hooks are too short and they work
hard. Fasten the hook to the side of
the door with a heavy lag screw just
high enough up to engage the bottom
Of the door. Put weight on the
back end of the hook, just heavy
enough to raise the catch.
At the top Of the post put a
grooved pulley or an L shaped lever
cut from a piece Of fiat iron, with a
hole in each end and larger hole
at the corner. Fasten 1t to the post
as shown in the illustration, says the
Farm Press. Attach wire to the
weight and carry 1t over the pulley
or attach 1t to the outer arm OF the
lever. Hitch another wire to the top
end of the level and carry 1t inside
the barn behind the door.
Put ring in the door to pull 1t
shut with another ring in the end OF

SUMMER FEEDING FOR cows
No sinule Feed Will Give All Ele-
mer,ts for Production Of Milk
Than Good Grass Pasture.

At this time Of the year, when grass
is coming out and growing at Its best,
the average cow is allowed to secure
all of her feed from the pasture. 1t
Is a fact that there is nothing to
beat good grass for dairy feed. 1t is
also a fact that no single feed will
give all the elements for the growth
and maintenance needs and the pro-
duction of milk. 1t is we'll to con-
tinue the feeding of dry hay and grain
straight through all the summer
months, regardless Of the quality and
quantity of grass secured by the milk
cows.
There is another fact to be consid-
cred in feeding dairy cows on pasture.
The more supplementary feeds given
in the stall the less will the cows
eat in the pasture and the longer will
the pasture remain good. The aver
age pasture is nipped bare before the
middle of summer, and bare pastures
is the complaint all over the coun-
try for August and September. If
hay and grain were given the cows
the better would late pastures be.
On nearly every farm some soiling
may be done. Rye can first be cut
and fed, and then follows green oats
then early sweet corn, and after these
come late corn, peas and pumpkins. n

For Success In Dairylnu,

A man to make money in dairying
must be a good feeder. He must
give ample feed and of kind that
will produce milk. Generous men
often give plenty of feed, but of the
kind that fattens. Some men lose all
the profits by keeping ten cows on
the feed that would make five yield
we'll. The most money is made where
each cow is watched and fed individ
ually, to force her to her best. A
thinking dairyman finds cow whose
feed is forcing her to give so much
milk that she is becoming weak. He
changes the ration to make 1t more
fattening.

ADVANTAGES of Weiqhinq Milk,

One of the great advantage Of
weighing the milk every day, from
each COW, is that it gives one quick
check on any condition that brings
about discomfort to his animals. II

milk flow, as rule little observa-
