TO GET SERVICE FROM LAMP
Certain Rules for Its Care Must Be
Observed-Always Fill in
Daytime,

A housewife-wh has to use lamps
n great deal, desires to know what
will keep the wicks from smoking.
If the wick is soaked in vinegar be-
fore it is put in the lamp, and thor
oughly dried, it will not smoke. The
bowl of the lamp should be kept full
of oil; but when the lamp is not in
use. the wick should be turned down
low. to keep the oil from ooZing out
upon the burner.
The common Kerosene lamp which
is used in almost every household
will give a bright, clear light, and il
will be q source of comfort to the
family if properly kept. Never use
inferior burners. They are cheaper
at first, but they soon get out of fix,
so the wicks cannot be turned up
or down. and do not give good
light. A clean lamp gives no disa-
greeable Odor when burning.
Lamp chimneys are not liable to
break upon exposure to changes of
temperature if they are put in a pan
of cold water and allowed to heat
gradually until the water is boiling
hot. When you wish to clean the
fues, wash them in suds made by dis
solving cleansing powder in hot water,
rinse in clean, warm water, and wipe
Try with old newspaper. See that the
ilues all fit closely. Lamps should
always be filed by daylight; and al
ways put In new wick before the
old one is burned out.

same time of furnishing the necessary
cash to pay all expenses. In the farm
ing sections of our country which have
enjoyed the greatest and most lasting
prosperity, the grasses and clovers
have always occupied an important
and lespedeza pasture. The larger
part of the land now devoted to per-
manent pasture was first planted to
winter oats Small areas of the pas
ture is now well sodded in bermuda
and lespedeza or Japan clover. He
will thoroughly sod every square foot
of this pasture land in bermuda grass
and lespedeza within the next year or
two. The best pastures in the cotton
belt are perhaps those which in sum-
mer consist Of bermuda grass and les
pedeza. With the addition of burr
clover, white clover, crimson clover,
hairy vetch and red top, when the
soil is sufficiently fertile. such pas
lures can be grazed the year round.
Mr. Wood is not only increasing the
productiveness of his soil; he is also
improving the yielding power OF the
oat, corn and other seed planted on
this farm. He realizes the fact that
like produces like and he has pur-
chased the very best seed from per-
fectly reliable seed breeders and will
use every known scientific method to
further improve the yielding power of
the seed. His part in obtaining the
most prolific seed and in growing, Sc
lecting and caring for such seed will
not be apprecia5ly greater than the
work necessary to handle scrub seed.

soil. The lower levels of the farm
were very poorly drained and as a
consequence the crops on these por-
lions have suffered severely during the
seasons of excessive rainfall During
the past five years the willows in all
the low places have been cut and
bitches opened and the bottom
drained.
Land Was Unproductive.
For upward of rs years the crops
have been for the most part cotton,
grown under the negro tenant sys-
tenn. AS result of this practice, the
land was badly washed and reduced to
a very unproductive state. 1t had a
local reputation of being both poor and
improbable. It sold for $1,000 in
1898.
A, In good farming, is clearing land
OF stumps and roots. We have reached
a point where the use of labor-saving
machinery on the farm is absolutely
necessary II we are to supply the grow
ing demands of rapidly increasing
population and reap the highest re-
wards of prevailing prices. The neces-
sity for labor-saving machinery has be-
come more and more obvious with the
growing scarcity of labor and the con-
sequent high cost Of production.
The water supply for all stock comes

a mixture of y pounds of sal-soda,

The value OF silo on a farm can
not be overestimated. The dairy farm
er who has been unable to see the
value Of the silo in connection with
his dairy farm is generally looked
upon as an unprogressive farmer. Es-
pecially in the winter does the value
Of the silo become apparent as it is
possible at all times to feed green
preserve both the quantity and quality
of the milk product. With the use of
the silo the farmer is enabled to save
the shucks, the fodder, the corn stalks
and the ears, and to keep up summer
feeding throughout the winter without
a break.
Mr.. Wood built a round stave silo,
60-ton capacity, Oh concrete sounda-
ton at a total cost of $116.35. Ut cost

products in June, 1911. He sold $12S.76
in October 1915.
Mr.. L. A. Higgins, dairyman for the
United States dairy division, deserves
much credit for the success of this
dairy. He planned the work and visits
the dairy every fifteen days and gives
full instructions which are carried out
to the letter. He and the many other
dairymen employed by the United
States dairy division are doing a great
work in the South.
Disposition of Milk.
He sells nearly all of the milk to the
female college, soda founts, and pri-
vate families. However, he purchased
separator to separate the surplus
milk He does not make butter as he
can easily dispose Of the cream OBJ
tanned from the milk that he does not
place on the market. The separator
gets all the cream OF the milk, the
cream Obtained is sweet and of the
! highest purity and brings the top price
| on the market. The warm, sweet milk
skinned by the use of the separator
! is at once fed to calves, pigs and
poultry. Practically all of the fat has
been taken out, but the milk still con.
tains proteids; that is, the material for
| the formation of lean flesh, blood
| tendons, nerves, brain and horn.
Barnyard manure Is rich in nitrogen
phosphoric acid and potash. and may be
| regarded as just so much vegetable
matter. When left exposed in thin lay
ers or small piles in the barn lot, the
rains leach out a large per cent of the
| soluble plant food. He allows the
horse manure to remain in the stables
using plenty of straw for litter. IL is
| kept dry and keeps with practically
no loss. He built common large ma
nure pen for the COW manure. The
rain water is not sufficient to leach
| through but is usually sufficient to
keep the pile moist.
Farm Poorly Drained.
A considerable area of the farm was
| poorly drained. Fortunately a small
| creek crosses the farm and affords
an outlet for the water from the whole
farm. Although the fall in the bottoms
| is very gradual, the water runs OF
slowly after heavy rains. Thing and
other forms OF under drainage were
| too expensive to be considered for the
entire farm, so fat bottom bitches
have been dug to thoroughly drain the
land. Only ten acres have been tiled
