Two Roads for Farmers.
Vtiut Progressive Farmer.
1* in a very blind man who per
weruely travels a rough, stumpy
road when he has the chance of
over a smooth, easy one.
That is what some of the farmers
of this Piedmont section are doing.
They are well assured that
the plan of planting cotton brings
flail ore every time. Impoverish
ed land, poor horses and mules,
empty cribs and smoke houses,
and unattractive homes are the
results of such farming. But
there are many who are getting
<m the smooth road. They are
vowing much more wheat in tins
than thav <li/l loot % */!
they will put in a larger oat crop.
JBy doing this they will decrease
the cotton acreage and thus help
3? keep up price. Col T. J. Moore
of this county,a large land owner,
is making his plans for next year,
lie has cut off 200 acres of land,
39.)ach of which is thin and devoid
of humus. Lie proposes to propare
50 acres for peas by plowing
and harrowing. Then the
balance will be equally divided
"between small grain, corn and
cotton. He will sow peas after
the email grain and plant or sow
pens iu the corn. Thus he will
have a hundred acres in peas,
lie will divide his 50 acre lots by
good hog-proof wire fences. Thus
be will be able to raise hogs from
the gleaning of his small grain
and pea fields. By pursuing that
p!ai> eight years he w ill bring his
land up to a bale of cotton to thf
acre. The soil will tie eight t(
ten inches deep and his foon
crope will be very abundant.
CuKN AND COTTON TOGETHER.
Colonel Alfred Aldrich, ol
BarnwelJ County, plants his corn
mhil cotton in the same field, lit
snakes his rows four feet widt
and plants two rows of cotton and
two of corn. He claims th^t tie
makes about as much cotton to
tibe acre by that plan as his neigh
bOB make on similar K??wl rl.mt

4.. the top. There can he no adrvantage
in that. There is positive
injury if the clay is brought \
to the top. Never turn land unless
there is a heavy sod like j
.. ^.lulling
all cotton. II is corn and
peas are an extra crop. This year
Le planted a forty-acre lot in that
way. lie has Bold 40,000 pounds
of ear corn at seventy cents a
Ymshel, reserving enough to RUp
ply his farm, lie has picked 20,
WO pound? of seed cotton, which
w.U make about 7,000 pounds ol
lint. The corn sold brought $4000
at eleven cents the cotton is worth
$770, and both crops are worth
$1,170. It seems to us that he
would have made more if he had
planted the two crops separately,
But he is fully convinced that the

TURNING LAND.
5f looks as if onough had boon
written on this subject to give all
necessary information. But every
week such questions as these are
asked : Shall I turn my per stubbier
before sowing small grain?
WbAt shall I do with pea stubble,
pt -??eed8 on land intended for
com or cotton next spring? Will
it pay to turn land in cotton this
where I wish to plant cotton
or corn next spring? By turning
iaud the top soil is put on the
iioStnm and tht? K .-r.
Department.
clover or broom fledge on it, and
then be sure to bring no clay to
the top. Do not turn pea stubble
when preparing tor small grain.
Do not turn it on land to be plantel
in cotton next spring. Do not
turn clean land at any time.
What all clsv land needs is
pulverizing. This can be well
(lone with the disc plow when
followed by a harrow. The elay
is then mixed with the soil and
will not harden and hake when
the winter rains come. Land in
cotton this year, and intended for
corn or cotton next, may be broken
and sub soiled. A good plan
is to plow up ^stalks with a twohorse
"middle buster" and follow
with a subsoil plow. Then do
the same to the middle. In the
spring the harrow will put the
land in tine condition for an\
crop. A good plowman can take
a two-horse plow and break land
well without turning it. By mak
ing u narrow cut two inches of the
clav mav be broken and the t. >1
soil edged up. The winter frei zo<will
pulverize it. Hut if the cla\
is put on top, it will harden and
the land will be in worse condition
than if it had not been plow

The Penalty of Exclusive
Corn Feeding.
Over and over the changes neec
to be rung on the danger of feed
ing corn exclusively toyoungano
growing hogs. Corn is the great
finisher, but nitrogenous or pro
tei 11 foods at least in part art
necessary for young hogs. In a
recent number of the Live Stock
World, Dr. Alexander says upon
this subject:
"Corn is a fine fattening food,
but it is deficient in bone and
muscle-making ingredients and
if fed as a well nigh, exclusivt
ration to young, growing pigs, ii
is not strange that they develop
fat, pudgy bodies, which become
too heavy for the weak muscles
and bones to uphold so that par
alysis ensues. In some instance*the
bones become so weal; thai
they actually fracture. Such
cases have been noted in both II
linois and Iowa. Susceptibilit\
to the trouble is inherited by
pigs trom parents fed as we have
outlined and the disDosition n
common in all hogs of the 4'lard,;
breeds. The disease, which is
akin to rickets, may easily be
prevented by breeding from good
strong parents that have been al
lowed free range and given a
mixed diet, feeding pregnant and
nursing sows on mixed rations,
while, allowed free range on green
grass, clover and rape, and 1 nstead
m pampering young pips upon
corn without adequate exercise,
allowing them plenty of exercise
upon grass, etc., and feeding a
ration rich in nitrogenous muscle
and bone-making ingredients.
Such a ration should contain
milk, middlings, flaxseed meal,
bran, dried blood meal or tankage,
or a combination of some of
these foods rather than corn,
which should be kept for the finishing
process when frame has
been fully developed. Lime water
should also bo freely mixed in
the food and drink of all begs
showing a tendency to weak
bones and muscles. Feed your
pigs in tiiis way now, and unless
too far gone, they will be likely
to recover."
