A Farmer To Farmers.
Counsel Well Worth Heeding?When
to Sow Small
Grain and How to Improve
Land?Advantage of Raising
Less Cotton and More
Supplies.
>A Mr. Editor: I advise all farmers
to sow more small grain ol
all kinds this tall than they have
been doing in the past, and sow
as early as possible, so that the
grain may have a chance to get a

gets po cold and rough. In order
to make tliis a success, it
would he wise to fertilize thei
land well and till it well; and
when the grain is harvested fertilize
the land again and sow it
in peas, in this way you can
enrich the land and enable it toj
produce a better crop the next |
year. All farmers should tnakel
arennruHnu
4 j iw pinut mure corn
and peas, and other articles ot
that kind, and raise your meat,
bread and other food supplies at
home, and don't plant and try to
raise so much cotton, and what
you do raise you will# get more
. , for 't.
My advice to all farmers is to
plant less cotton and fertilize it
better and work it better and
you will make more on an acre
than you would make on three
\ not manured and worked. When
this plan of farming is adopted
and put in practice the farmers
will get along better, times, will
be better and wealth will increase
more rapidly ; and not till this is
done will times be better, in my
humble judgment.
Some farmers say that they
have such large families ami big
debts that they can't afford to
plant less cotton than they do
now; but if the people would
raise more of their lamily supplies
at home, and iiuiKe more
corn and roughness to teed their
stock and cattle on, they would
not have to make such big debts,
no matter how large their families
are. Make your fertilizers

near as much as that, you buy,
and it will last longer and do the
land more good. I advise land
owners to lence their land that is
^ not in cultivation and keep some
cattle, just, what they can manage,
take care of well, and what
their pasture can afford grass for
through the summer months, and
pen them at night. And also
keep your cotton seed to put on
the land with the stable manure.)

When J. E. (iillis shot Whitaker

with the muzzle pointed to the
ground and gave it. to Ancrum,
who hesitated to taae it, saying
it would not he fair unless the
Gillises gave up theirs, and then
it was that Gillis said, ''No.

He said to them that he was
