Of moisture and rainfall in most

advantage in yield. You see it
don't take such careful cultiva-
+;on when the season hits. Any
hodv can make a good crop by
anv system of cultivation when
weather conditions are perfect,
if you will stir the ground and
keep out the weeds; but it takes
q good farmer, hard work and
hest methods to make good crop
when the weather conditions are
bad.
This year too many farmers
are going back to the old method
of bedding their land for both
cotton and corn, and no doubt
mean to cultivate by the old me-
thod of bed cultivation, and lay
by with a turning pillow or double
shovel, throwing the dirt to the
crop and leave a ridge after split
ting out the middles. If you are
thinking of any such work, for
get it, and get away from the
old method. Whether you have
bedded or planted level, when
your crop is up, take a harrow
and run across the rows for the
first cultivation. In about a week
do the same again. This will
help work down the ridges, if
they are there. The double shov-
ell and deep blowing will not hurt
so much the first blowing, but
after that, it is best to cultivate
shallow, only about two inches,
with some kind of side harrow.
They are made to attach to cult
vators now, and are the very
thing. The shallow cultivation
should be kept up every week.
If you have a dry spell this me-
thod will help you to stand it and
save your crop.

The planting season is now here
and as usual, it will be good
judgement for the farmers to
plant enough corn to run the

to own either, and depend upon
hiring horses to make his crop
and buying milk aud butter for
his home use. The average
horse on farm works only about
100 days in the year. The labor
Of the horse can be hired for a
dollar day, which would amount
to $500 per year for the average
amount of labor that the horse is
required to perform in farm work.
1t will cost from $500 to $14O to
buy feed for a horse for a year
at the prevailing prices of horse
feed on the market.
The average COW on the farm
will not give more than ~ gal
Ions of milk per day for the whole
year. The value of the milk is
not more than enough to pay for
the feed of the. cow during the
winter, if you have to buy feed
at the market prices. So if you
do not raise your feed, it would
be economy not to keep horses or
COWS either. But it will pay to
keep both, if you raise your own
feed. In other words, on all the
feed you raise and feed to your
live stock you make the differ
ence between the cost of produc
ing the feed and the market
price of the same, and get also
the offspring and increase in
growth of young stock.
In this connection, let me urge
pasture. The pasture is the most
profitable crop, because your
stock will harvest the crop, and
the pasture takes the place Of a
large portion of dry feed. The
hog will eat daily about four per
cent of his weight, and if you
give him a good pasture, he will
take three fourths of it in grass,
will gather himself, and enrich
the land with his droppings at
the same time. Pastures are
equally profitable for horses and
cattle. Keep a permanent pas
ture and you will always have
corn and hay to sell. The far
mers who sell corn and hay are
the ones who keep out of debt.
| The farmers who have corn and
hay to buy are the ones who keep
in debt. Look around among
your neighbors and see if this is
not true.
