Agricultural An Ideal Farm Home and Farm. We have seen all iciuds of farm bome9 au-1 farms in our South j land; many poscessing attractive features, but we must say the, ideal farm home is rare. Toou* > mind it must have three distinct j ive features: 1, The house must be wellpainted and neat in appearance, and surrounded w ith shade, grass and flowers so as to present a cool , pleasant and home likeap-! peirance at first sight. 2 There must be that variety ot Iruit. stock and varied crops that should be upon every thrilty farmer's p'ace. 3 Then everything must be the best o! its kind. Such a house we saw at U. H. Rodgers' near Darlington, S. C. Mr. Rodgers is not a large larmer, does not own more than 200 acres of laud. His home is not expensive, but as we approached, were struck with the clean, cool, inviting appearance of house and yard. On the right as we passed the house was a large ecuppernong arbor, in rear fruit trees and garden. Soon we came upou a lot containing near 100 head of hogs feeding on caue. Then a tobacco barn; next the fine acre of corn and then about four or five acres in sweet potatoes. Down the road was fine corn on one side and cotton on the other side, that would make a bale per acre. Mr. Rodgers also keeps a nice herd of Jerseys and gets quite a nice return trom the sale of his milk and butter. We call this farming, and any man who uses the same energy and judgment can do as well as Mr. Rod tiers. ONE WAV OF ENRICHING YOl'R SOIL Mr. E. Mclver Williamson sows at least two bushels ot peas broadcast in bis corn at last plowing, and he certainly has as fine lot of vines as you could want to see. His corn was about ripe, and we said: "What are you going to do with your ? _ 11 ,li * - iouaer, stains ami peavineg?" He replied : '*1 gave I hem with a three-hur.se disc plow, bv turning them under, you can see the benefit upon the land by looking at that held ol cotton, it had only a small amount of lert.lizer up -n it. I sow peas and sorghum alter my wheat which makes all the iorage I need." Mr. William* s ?n al-o has a mill and grinds his corn and cob toge'her which makes an excellent food for his stock and makes his corn go much farthfr. We asked him why he did not shred his corn* stalks and save his peavines to be led to cattle. He said: My main money crop is tobacco, and to attend to it, my corn and cotton is all I can well do, so I do not wish to embark in the cattle business. Now, we know that the feeding value of these peavines and cornstalks is greaf er than their manure value, hut we look at the matter in this light : Suppose we had a $10 00 gold piece in one hand and a $5.- j 00 gold piece in the other, and were to say to you: "Lnder cer Department lain conditions we will g;ve you the $10.00, then under certain conditions we will eive you 11*e $5.00. If you could not accept the conditions to receive t}ie $10.00 but could easily accept these for the $5.00, then we say you would be loolish not to take' the smaller amount, at least, rather than to say you would not take any because you could not get the larger amount " We want to see cattle raised in ^ the South and ttie requisite is food; the result will mean manure for our land is lor humus, and we say sow all the peas you can, and if you do not save them for feed follow Mr. Williamson's example and turn under. The more vegetable matter we turn under upou our lands the belt r crop* we win maxe. \> e rejoice every time we see a pea planted, our people are doing well in this matter, but not half so well a? they should do. Our main fault lies in our undertakinn to cover too much area.?Southern Cultivator. The Cotton Outlook?Memphis Concern Says Crop is 50 per Cent. Off in that Section. Charlotte Observer: The following interesting letter has just been received by a Charlotte cotton merchant from a wellknown cotton concern in Mem, phis, Tenn : j "We are in receipt of your wire I ol this date asking us to make i you some offers on good middling j Ilale shipments October 10 h j and November 10th. In reply | will state that you have no con ception ot the amount of dam aee done the crop in this section. We hardly th.nk we will have any strict or g<?o 1 middling to oiler balance of this season, as this is the worst calamity that has ever happened in this sec tion of the country. It has been raining eight days and theiewiil he very lit'le if anv cotton 'o be picked after this and what will oe picked will ba low grade cot ton. "If you remember you have asked us several times lor oilers 'on that kind ol crtton and we could not make you any. We I never sell any cotton short unless we know the crop is made. It will he unnces.-i'.ry for us loaend J you types at the present lime until atler the weather clears up. as we cannot tell what will happen and what kind of cotton we will have to offer and should this weather continue a week longer there is no doubt that the cotton in this section would be fully 50 per cent off." Memphis handles about 1,000.000 bales of cotton a year.
