Fatten Your Farm.

A contributor to the current is
sue of Farm and Fires!de writes:
A tendency exists among many
farmers to burn up all corn stalks,
loose straw, clover-chaff and super.
fluous roughage about the place.
But it is too expensive.
Every time an acre of stalks is
burned twenty-one pounds of nitro.
gen goes into the air and will cost
you $3.50 to buy back again. Wheat
or oat straw from an acre contains
about twelve to fourteen pounds of
nitrogen, and clover-chaff three
times this amount.
"One can easily figure from these
deductions what a reckless loss to
the farm is fire in the chaf-pile
or stalk6eld. The cutaway and
disk harrows will chop these bulky
materials up ready for the plow
where they can be turned under.
If you want to fatten the old farm,
stuff it with organic matter"

Don't be in a Hurry to Lay by
the Crops.

Already we hear farmers talking
about 'laying-by' their corn. In
much of the South the season has
been moderately dry and conditions
favorable for keeping the crops
clean. When this condition exists,
the cultivation of the crops always
stops too soon on a large proper
ton of our farms. When there ls
much rain, and grass and weeds
abound, cultivation is kept up long
er: but since to destroy weeds Is
the only reason many see for culti-
vating the crop, little work is done
on clean crops by such farmers, re-
gardless OF other conditions.
Certain experiments may have
indicated that keeping the weeds
down is as good as cultivation with
a view of conserving moisture by
maintaining dust mulch or break
ing the crust which forms on all
soils, except those extremely well
supplied with humus or that are
very sandy; but the experience OF
thousands of good farmers for many
years cannot be set aside or dis
credited by a few experiments e1-
tending over only few years. The
weight of evidence favors the prac-
tice of the best farmers, who cultl-
vate their crops regularly as near
maturity as practicable.
1t is true that deep cultivation
during q dry time may do much
more harm than good and if the
crops are TO be cultivated in that
way, which is still the way of a
large number Of Southern farms,
cultivation had best be stopped as
soon as the plant roots between the
rows if the crops are reasonably
clean. But if shallow cultivation,
about two inches deep, is practiced,
there is scarcely any doubt that in
dry weather such cultivation will
add to the yield Of the crops even
tho there may be no weeds OF grass
- kill.
Do lot "lay-by" the crops by
rule, or by the date of the season,
but keep up cultivation just as long
as there are weeds to kill or need
to save moisture, and bv all means
keep the surface as near level as
possible and make the cultivation
shallow in dry weather. at least

Improve the Soil.

The laws of nature under which
soils are formed and maintained and
the poor farming of our ancestors
may be responsible for the present
lack Of fertility IN our soils; but if
they remain poor the fault is ours.
With conditions favorable for d
double cropping system-two crops
year-and with soils that respond
quickly to proper treatment there
is no excuse for any man contlnu-
ing TO cultivate poor soil. The
man who does so is alone to blame.
He is man who grows one crop
year, and TO double his yields In
five years, all be has to do is to add
another crop each year, without in
any way lesacnlng or interfering
with the one crop he now grows.
The same money we are now spend
ing for so-called complete fertiliz-
ers, where they are used, spent in
,hea purchase of phosphoric acid
lime, along with the extra crop he
may grow each year to plow under,
will easily double his yields in FIVE
years. A poor soil as well as a
poor horse or mule is one that is
not properly fed. II We work the
mule constantly and feed little be
soon becomes poor: and if we crop
the soil constantly and put little
back it also becomes poor. The
difference is that in the one case
we starve the mule aud in the other
we starve ourselves. Progressive

grass, is a back date one. The
chickens should be cooped so that
they can take to the range just as
soon as they are astir in the morn
ing. We have had personal expe-
rience along this line, and have
noted the difference between the
early ranger and the late outer.
We had several broods cooped one
May time. some of which were in
coops with Slated fronts through
whic1 the chickens passed in and
ct as they pleased. We had other
coops with top ventilation only in
which the chicks were confined in
the morning until we were up and
could go down and let them out.
Some times we were early, and
other times we were late, and on
the late mornings the chickens were
always raising a fuss to get out
when we got to them. They would.
get fretted and feverish, and were
not as bright and active as those
that came and went as early as they
pleased. The difference was very
marked. We finally tried to even
up matters by fixing it 80 all could
get out at the coming of the day if
they desired, and then those that
had been confined in the morning
soon frightened up and began to
grow faster and to look better in
every respect.
Ther we hit on another plan that
helped them all in their growth and
development. We made a rick of
rails up about six inches from the,
ground and covered it three or four
feet deep with clover and millet hay
and weighted it down with more
rails. 1t was out III the open, but
we stretched some heavy domestic
on light framing over it, and two
or three times a week we would
scatter small seeds and cracked
grain on the hay, so that it would
sift down through, or be scratched
out by the chickens in their con-
slant working over and about and
under the, pile. 1t was a regular
automatic, perpetual feeder, and
those summer hatched chickens
were SO busy in there the greater
part of each day. They p'ospered
TOO, and there was no disease among
them. We gave them no soft feed
of any kind. They did not need
any. They got green stuff, bugs
and insects on the range, and they
had plenty of fresh water. There
was no lice or mites about them, for
we had looked out for that source
of trouble at the beginning.
