Agricultural ' Suggestions for November t Farm Work. f a c Progressive Farmer. t t There is much wheat laud that has not yet been sowed. It is now too late to break land deeply for the crop; but rather plow ^ or cultivate shallow and harrow r and roll until a good seed-bed is 1 formed. Thorough preparation * is the key to a successful whee.t c crop. With the wheat, sow from ' 200 to 300 pounds of fertilizers, as was suggested in this depart 1 meut for October. 9 v i It is now too late to sow crim ^ son clover with any C6rtaintv of getting a stand that will live through wiuter,but rye can yet be put in to advantage. Especially is this true this year on account of the scarcity of good forage. Manure and prepare a plot of of land and sow in rye for spring grazing ?r hay, and then turn ^ the stubble under for corn, cotton,or tobacoo crop. The increase in the yield of the crop will be very marked. , t Sweet potatoes are yet largely 1 in the field. These should be^du g v as soon as the land is sufficiently 1 dry. As they are so full of wa- l] ter, it will be well not to cover p with earth at once, hut allow v them to dry out in the hill. As to the best plan Tl /fkeep them, we do not know. \\> once v thought we did, but expei. nee v has taught us better. AJ'good n way will be to study the5$plan j of your neighbor who succeeds 0 and follow his methods. 0 Second crop Irish potatoes can e be lett in the ground longer than t sweet potatoes without danger of j loss, but should not be permitted j to remain in the field undug un? t til freezing weather. t November is the month in t which most corn is gathered in s Progressive Farmer territory. The fc only suggestion we have to make in regard to this crop is to be ; J sure it is well dried out before J cribbing it, otherwise there is j danger of injury from excessive j moisture. ? !t( In the warmer sections winter h oats can yet be sowed, though c it is getting quite late for put- ^ ting them in. Those who contem a plate sowing them after this will ( do well to try the open furrow j plan as described in former numbers of The Progressive Farmer. 0 s V Save all the field peas possible. The indications are the crop will be short and prices high another season. Now is tlie time to push hogs ^ intended for pork. A given t amount of feed will make more n pork now than it will in freezing n weather. Corn is always high- q priced in this section of the coun- j. try/.and therefore should Jbe fed Q to the best advantage. There is j probably no better feed for fattening hogs than corn, but no ( one kind offeed used aloneyields the beat results. If the hogs are * to be fed three or four weeks, 8 corn alone may give fairly satisfactory resultp, but for longer n feeding periods, a better balanc- e ed ration with more variety is necessary. If there are no peas f| to be grazed, or peanuts for the * hogs to gather, theu it will pay c Department. o buy dried blond with tei >ouuds of corn. The blood will bi is cheap as the corn, and th? iorn will give far better return >ecause of being ted with th< dood. Have you planned for youi :arden? Put cut onion sets thi nonth for early spring onions Vlso prepare a place to set cab >age plants later. Onions am abbage both require rich soil t< lo their best. This is the montl o put out the strawberries w< old you about last month. W( imply mention it again for fea rou have forgotten about them ilake yourself and your famib :la,1 by having an abundance o lice ripe berries next spring? nough for your family to hav< ,11 they want and some to span o your neighbor who is less pro ;ressi ve. This is also the beet month t< >ut out fruit trees. If you havi lot already decided on the kind rou want, procure catalogs fron ome reliable nurserymen (yoi vi 11 find them advertised in Thi >rogressive Farmer) and selec he kinds best adapted to you ocality. Select varieties tha vill give you fruit from the ear iest to the latest. Every farmer' lome should be abundantly sup died with the choicest fruits auc egetables in season. If it has nrt already been pro ided for, the winter's supply o rood should be looked after till nonth. Too many farmers hav< nherited the improvidentcuston f not providing for the supph f wood until it is actually needd for use; and they then go t< he forest and cut a few loads ai t is needed. Such practice ii alse economy, for a good part ol he heat is consumed in gettin) he wood dry enough to burn 'he house-wile who has a family o cook for and to look after hould at least have dry wood t< >U 'II.
