The operation of loosening and
stirring the soil is usually spoken of
as tillage or cultivation. Tillage in
cludes both the preparation before
planting and the working of the soil
after the crop is planted, while cul-
tivation includes the stirring of the
soil after the crop has been planted.
For most soils it is best to practice
deep tillage in the preparation of the
seed bed and shallow cultivation after
the crop is planted. Deep tillage
gives the plants large amount of
room in which to send out their roots
in search of plant food, allows the
soil to drink in the rainfall more free
ly, and permits the air to enter the
soil and help in the preparation of
plant food. Shallow cultivation checks
the rapid loss of water from the soil
by forming loose blanket over its
surface, kills weeds, and helps to ad.
NIT air to the surface layer of soil.
If the soil is hard and lumpy the
little roots of the corn plant cannot
penetrate far into it, but must feed

and the plants are deprived OF their
supply of moisture stored in the deep
layers of soil.
If allowed to do SO, much of this
capillary water will pass on up
through the soil and be evaporated
from the surface without having been
of any service to the plants. To pre-
vent this we practice shallow cultiva-
ton, which keeps blanket over the
surface of the soil. Have you ever mo-
ticed how moist the soil is under a
stone or board, even when the sur
rounding ground is dry? The stone
or board has kept the air away from
the surface of the soil and prevented
evaporation. When shallow cultiva
ton is practiced, the thin layer Of
stirred soil soon becomes very dry,
but by keeping the air away 1t serves
to prevent the deeper soil from losing
its moisture by evaporation. This
loose blanket, or mulch, as 1t is called,
also helps to absorb rainfall and to
prevent 1t from running off the sur
face.

Frequent shallow stirring of the soil
during the growing season, and es
pecially in the time of drouth, will
tend to produce much bether crop
than if this work is neglected. In corn
growing it is sometimes best to culti
vate deep early in the season before
the roots of the plants have gotten
very far out in the soil in order to
allow the moisture to go deeper. But
later in the season the roots of tho
corn plant spread out into the space
between the rows and almost com
pletely fill the soil to within three OIL
four inches of the surface. Deep cul
tiyation at this time cuts off the roots
upon which the plants are depending
for their food and water. and poor
crop is the result.
The proper implement for corn cul
tivation is cultivator with large
number of small shovels, rather than
one with a few large ones.

classes, the breeder may secure the
type desired. By this mating some OF
our best breeders are able to produce
any or all of the three types. The De,
laine Merino is good mutton pro.
ducer and often has too light and
coarse fleece. If Delaine eve OF
this type be bred to an American ram
of high wool producing qualities, a bet
ter fleece will be obtained. 1t is thus
important to stay in the blood OF
wrinkly sheep in selecting sires, at
the same time striving to keep the
neck free of wrinkles and the body

This calls for a fleece to grade Xxx

When a breeder finds that his sheep

remedy the defect by mating his ewes
to rams of coarser type. AS sheep

ewes of this class are carefully mated
to rams of Glass A, resulting in the
more desirable Class B, shearing more

Sheep in Glass have folds about
the neck and breast and at the thighs.
The Glass G Merino has smooth
body, with no folds at all, or to a
slight extent in the neck or breast.
In order to secure the smooth
bodied Merino, breeders have had to
approach nearer the mutton type of
carcass.
The tendency has been in securing
the better mutton producing sheep, to
have a falling off in weight and quail
ity of fleece. Long experience has
shown that it is almost impossible to
keep up density and fineness of fleece
when wrinkles are entirely abolished.

The old Spanish Merino which was
introduced into this country in the

was characterized by heavy folds on
the body, excepting over the back.
Many breeders considered these folds

in shearing, and by selection they pro-

a resident of this county since 1869
and during this time he mas advanced
to leading place among the success
full cotton planters of Texas. He owns
a plantation of seven hundred acres,
three hundred and fifty acres of which
is under cultivation. Ten skilled hands,
equipped with modern facilities, work
his cotton successfully.
During the past ten years he has
achieved the distinction of averaging
ten bales of cotton TO each hand and
mule employed. or in other words one
half a bale of cotton TO the acre. This
result has been brought about by intel.
ligent effort and industry.
Mr.. Shackelford is modern, scien-
tific farmer in every sense Of the word.
He is thoroughly posted on modern
methods of cotton culture, preserving
and increasing the fertility Of his land
every year. His ability as an expert
planter and farmer has been recognized
by the United States government. IL
has offered him a position in the ex-
perimental farm work department, but
his extensive business and plantation
interests prevents him from accepting
the offer, though during the past year

The center of the grocery trade in
jefferson may well be said to be at the

and courteous treatment of patrons by
no like concern in the county. And
when is added to these two important
business qualities that of keeping in

ware, and the selling of the same at
exceptionally reasonable prices, it is
not to be wondered at that it has be-
come one of the most favorably known
and extensively patronized of all the
grocery concerns in the county. 1.-The
Pure Food Grocer is a motto that has
been justly earned by this gentleman,
as pains and care have been taken by
him to see that every article secured
for has patrons conforms, in every par
tcular, with the pure food law. Such
conscientious business men are deserv-
ing the confidence and patronage of the
entire public, and we are pleased to note
the success of Mr.. Glass in our midst.
Ever since he first established this
concern in our city, Mr.. Glass has work
ed hard and studied diligently to give
mis- patrons and the buying public in
general something different" so to
speak, from the Old, stereotyped grocery
stores that are to be found in every
town. Being energetic and ambitious,
he has employed every means that
money and perseverance could employ
to give jefferson a grocery establish
ment equal to those of the larger cities,
and there is no question that he has
succeeded in his purpose, even far be
yond his own expectations, for many of
