The Labor Problem.
Solve it by Improving Lands

The sowing of grain has been
"very much retarded by the long
dry spell. Now that it has rain
ed, it should be the order of the
day. No farmer should fail to
put in a reasonable part of his
land in grain. It is only through
the raising of all his supplies at
home that the farmer can reap
the profits that come from the
raising of cotton, even at 11
cents. More,it is only throghout a
system of alternating crops that

least cost. Laud sowed in grain
and then followed by peas is in a
far better tix for the next year's
crop than it would be if continued
in clean cultivation. The
improvement of bis land is a
very considerable item with the
farmer. It is the sure way to
permanent prosperity. Improving
the lands and the using of
better farm implements is going
to be the solutiou of the labor

100 Bushels of Corn Per
Acre.
I am going to tell the readers
of the Cultivator how 1 have
made over one hundred bushels
of corn per acre on good upland.
In the fall of the year or up to
.fannnrv 1 Kfh run nff ?nnr nnrn
land six to seven feet wide with
two good horses or mules to a
good two-horse turn plow, run
ning this furrow twice, as deep
as you can. I'ut. in this furrow
good stable or lot manure, and
then cover it under with the
same plow or a good one-horse
Avery pony turner, and let it
etand thus until just before
planting time. Then take a
good harrow and level it down
by runuing across your rows.
Now you are ready to run a deep

. u i * IT v/w V? vuva n?uvi WI bllUQO
rows, leaving the rows wide
enough to run a single harrow in
the row when you commence
your cultivation. Leave in these
two rows of corn from two to
three times as much stalk in
each row as any of your sorry
farmers around you, who make
only dO bushels per acre will tell
you to leave, and don't let them
scare you to death by telling you
it is too thick, for you can't raise
a hundred or two hundred bushels
of corn on an acre of land
without the stalks for it to grow

-grow it. Pat about one hundred
pounds of acid or good guano on
the outside or wide sides of these
corn rows after the corn conies
up and gets large enough to work.
D. n't stand around and fool
away your time in idle, useless
talk in trying to argue with those
men who raise 15 to 30 bushels
of corn per acre that your corn
is not too thick in youi rows; but
make it grow by good working
and prove to them at gathering

Intensi ve Farming?Two
Bales Made to the Acre.
Uovington, Ua., special to
Augusta Chronicle:
Evidence of the productivity
of Newton county soil is shown
by the result of an experiment
this season in cotton culture by
E. (). Lee, a prominent merchant
and capitalist of this city.
On seven acres, which had
been in constant cultivation tor
twenty years or more, Mr. Lee
will get nearly fourteen, 500pound
bales of cotton, or two
bales to the acre, which is no
unprecedented yield for tins sec
tlou. Mr. Lee, however, is ol
the opinion that by the adoption
of the intensive method the
average farrti in Newton county
could be made to produce from
one to two bales ot cotton to the
acre.
In the cultivation ot bin sevenacre
patch ot cotton, Mr. Lee
used 950 lbs. ot commercial terti
lizer to tli? acre, besides a large
quantity ot stable manure.

Old Yellow Cat Is Rearing
Orphan Dogs and
Chickens.
Augus'a Chronicle :
Mary Frances Ellingham, an
aged negro woman, the washer
woman for a prominent attorney
of this city, possesses an
old yellow cat whose phief elaim
to distinction is her remarkable
and most ifntisual fondness for
two little fox terrier puppies,
to whom she daily acts the part
of a devoted mother.
The reason for this surprising
act on the part of tho feline
can only be explained as follows :
Three weeks ago "Bo peep,"
the cat, became the mother of
two little kittens, whose earthly
existence was of but two days
duration. "Fannie," a fox
terrior doc, another of tho old
woman's pets, also had an addi
tion to her family?two diminutive
fox terriers.
Several days later, "Ho peep"
had the misfortune to lo e her
kittens, they dying very suddenly.
The very next day "Fannie"
was crushed beneath the
wheels of a Monte Sano bound
car, at the corner ot lvollock
and Gwinnett strets. This
double misfortune broke the
heart of the negro woman, who
had become greatly d. voted to
her pets, also, it left her with a
ffrifif strieken rut n.nrl lw?

motherless puppies on her hands J
A difficult problem confronted j
her. What should she do with ;
the pups? After much thought ;
alio decided that "T*o Peep/'
the cat, should take the place i
of the dead mother dog. This j
experiment was made, and with j
great success. "Bo Peep" in- stantly
formed a strong attach <
mont for the two puppies, and i
she now watches them and ^
1 - 2
guards them as jealously as if
she were their mother. The
puppies, it may be added, nevei
seemed to realize that tneir real
mother had left them.
Another side of "Bo Peep's"
remarkable nature became
known last week, during the
nnlrl snnll It was than that.
the negro woman found that two
little t hickens, which she poss
essod, were in danger ol freez
ing at night because the hen
had deserted them. The week
old chickens were placed in the
box with the cat and the pup
pies, and there they found
warmth and life, sleeping on
the furry coat of the cat.
