Hints For The Dairymany

The best thing for any dafrying To-
cality is the organization of cow test
associations.
The animal that pays the best is
bound to be in evidence as da1rymen
become better informed.
1t is a mistake to suppose that a
good cew of inferior breeding is quail
fed to drop a good calf.
Never feed hay, or sweep up in any
way stir up dust just previous to milk
ing time, for this will contribute to
the Introduction of bacteria, which
communicates and Injuries the quality
of the milk.
Dirt always contains germs. There
fore wipe all dust from the cows
udder and TANKS with a wet cloth be-
fore milking begins and see that no
dirt has gained entrance to the
milking pail.
Separate the cream while the milk
is still warm and in cold weather first
run hot water through the separator
to warm it. Strain the milk in to the
separator through a wire gauze.

Plant Soy Beans and COwpeas To-

We have tried different methods
Of seeding the crop and this year
sowed our entire acreage, in two
foot rows (where designed for hay),
using 8 quarts of Mammoth soy beans
and the same amount of Wonderful
peas per acre, drilling them with our
twoNrow corn planter a feetI and
doubling the rows. We like this
method of seeding on good soil, as
the planter, being equipped with
depti-reguIatfHg guards and levers,
puts the seed at exactly the depth we
wish it to be planted. This i8 i'm
portant with the soy, as if the seed
planted too deep they will not some
up evenly, If at all. We prepared a
very fine seeded-bed, planted the seed
as stated above. then rolled the land
with the big roller, giving no further
cultivation. The soys growing up
right hold the peas up off the land,
making a clean job of cutting with
the mower possible. By the middle
of July the peas almost covered the
spaces between the rows, so it was
impossible for much crabgrass to
grow. and what did grow was really
a benefit to the hay, balancing the
feed and making the curing of the
peas and beans less troblesUme.
The soys sowns broadcast with the
peas in the corn field make splendid
pig feed, as they seed more heavily
than the peas and are not so soon
injured with the wet weather in the
fall. No hay we have ever raised is
SO much relfshed by cattle, sheep and
horses. Many a time have l seen our
horses go to the hay racks for the
soy bean hay before consuming their
corn, and by the way, / don't Know
a better or cheaper feed for work
horses than this combination, corn
and soy bean hay. We like to use
the ~late-maturing peas, such as the
Wonderful or Clay. to go with the
Mammoth Yellow BEANS. as they
mature together. We cut the crop
when the beans in the pods are about
half grown
l have noticed writer's Directing to
the soys because of the heavy hard
stalks which they say are not eaten
by the stock. We have fed 40 loads
this winter and if there has been one
hard butt rejected by the stock l
haven't seen it.
The soy is a splendid soil-improv-
ing and stock-feed crop, and 7 feel
that Southern farmers can not grow
too many acres of them.> Try them
to supplement the peas this season,
drilling soon after planting corn is
finished.-A. L. French in Progress
sive Farmer.

Name Each Cow

Each COW should have a name. which
should always be spoken when ap-
preaching her. This one point counts
for much in the successful handling
of a herd. Suppose the cows are slow
ly filing into the barn, and you see
that Rose is about to go into the
wrong stall, a quick call of Rose will
attract her attention and she will for
get that she was about to go to her
neighbours stall to steal a mouthful
Of her feed. If Rose when in the yard
is about to hook another member of
the herd, and just at that moment
hears her name called, she will for
get what she was about to do. Again,
suppose the herd slowly vending its
way down, the lane to the pasture, and
someone has thoughtlessly left a side
gate open, leading into a grain field.
Rose is in the lead; and. as you see
her turning toward the open gate, a
quick, sharp call of Rose will exert
a wonderful influence in bringing her
back into line. 1t is by such methods
that a herd can be gradually taught
to do the right things, to save you
many steps. and at the same time
bring larger returns.

A Dimes Worth Of Peanuts.

A man once made the munifcenf
donation of ten cents to Miss Martha
Berry's school for mountain boys near
Rome. Miss Berry accepted the gift
as graciously as though it had been
ten thousand dollars and resolved, as
usually. to despise not the day of
small things. She told the boys of
the gentlemen who had so generously
aided them, held up the dime and then
urged them one and all to strive VAL
iantly to make all they possibly could
out of their coin. 1t was invested in
peanuts. These were carefully plant
ed. the whole school taking part. And
how the boys worked thenceforth to
make that patch grow! The result
was that at the end of the season the
dimes worth of gound peas netted the
school forty-nine dollars and sixty
cents.
OF all the rich truths that lie with
in this story, one is more practical
than that the peanut is me of the
highly profitable, yet neglected, crops
of our southern soil. The United
States department of agriculture has
recently issued a bulletin calling at
|tention to the fact that the value of
the country's peanut crop for 1908
was twelve million dollars.
AS an article of food, peanuts are
in constantly increasing demand.
They are sold now not only by street
vendors, but also in the form of sand
witches at refreshment stands in every
city. Peanut butter has become one
of the most popular of our luncheon
~delicacies. The United States con-
sumes each year such. quantities of
peanut oil that it has to be imported
from other countries.
There are thousands of acres of
waste land in Georgia and other
southern states that could be made
to yield rich returns from this hardy
Icrop. In rsaces where the boil Wee
vii has rendered it almost impossible
to- grow cotton, peanuts will thrive.
While we are discussing farming and
the importance of utilizing minute OBJ
portunities On the farm, it will be
well to bear these facts in mind

FARM-LIFE SCHOOLS.

Interest in the farm-life schools as
provided for by an act Of 1.-THE recent
Legislature seems to be gratify1ngly
widespread. Mecklenburg county has
taken steps for the prompt establish
ment Of such an institution. An ag-
gressive movement is now on foot in
CASTOR with the same end In. view.
AT a school closing in Catawba eoun-
ty last week." reports The Statewide
Landmark, +the matter was suggest
ed and five farmers present volunteer
ed to give $100 each for the purpose.
This would indicate that If the Ca
taWba hustlers get behind it Cataw-
ba is one county in these parts that
will have a farm-Iife school" The
Craven county commissioners have
ordered an election to determine the
question of a special tax levy for the
establishment OF such a school. There
are probably a number of other in
stances-the ones cited having been
culIed at radon from a single days
exchanges.
The conditions and requirements
surrounding the inauguration or these
schools will prevent the overhasty
adoption Of the plan in any county.
To put down $4,000 for plant and
TO pledge $4,000 annually for support
are matters which necessitate an
aroused public interest. There is,
however. Eevery reason to believe
that the counties deciding to make
such an investment will have little
cause for regret.-Charlotte Obser-

Stick To The Hen

Eggs are down now. to be sure;
but we don't believe that, therefore,
the interest in the poultry business
should shaken. 1t. doesn't seem to
be slackening any in the South, and
we are glad. Every business has it's
periods of depression, but the man
who masters any line of work and
sticks to it through good years and
bad is likely to come out all right.
while the fellow who makes haste to
get out in a bad season is likely to
be out still when the good seasons
return. There is no danger of too
much good poultry, and there is go
ing to be money made in the business
for many years to come.-Ex.

What to do With Ashes.-"Can I mix
ashes with acid phosphate and kainit
without damage?" The lime in the
ashes may tend to revert the phos-
phoric acid and make it less readily
available. Better spread the ashes

phosphate and potash. In fact, on
your red lands of the Piedmont coun-
try of North Carolina, l doubt that you
will need to buy potash if you get
