A Letter to Mrs. Farme
The Progressive Farmer.
Dear Mr9. Farmer : A hap
New Year to you and the cl
dreu It the old gentleman

new way of farming this year
Madam, have you been out

enough to make uests for vi
hens next month? You had t
ter see about this because }
know a-body don't have no h
setting a hen on a nest made
hay brought from a distat:
The best hatch is always froi
nest made of hay grown on
home farm.
I have been knocking ab
over North Carolina for so
months, and keep a close lo
out as to the barus whereve
see a place where there sho
be one. I am sorry to say t
the barns in my State are c
very cheap, shabby, ramshac
construction, and few of th
at this time contain hay enoi:

GKT THE OLD MAN TO SOW OAT
Your old man will be borrt

$25 to $30 per ton if you do
put him to work right aw
You see the poor old fellow
it in his head that he can't mi
feed till the fodder is ripe on
corn next fall, and will wanl
buy feed until that time. IS
don'tyou let lilmd o that. You gi
town or to your neighbor (wh
wide awake), buy seed oats *
your egg money; then when
land is in condition to pi
net me oiu ienow out Dv d

lard as you like lo have y
garden plot prepared. On I
land put plenty of fertili

But I would not wait till Ma
to begin seeding, but would \
pare an acre or so and seed t
right away, then keep on |
paring and seeding at ev
chance until March 15th.
HOW TO COAX HIM TO SWING '

My good woman, if you 1
have this work done well
will see a pretty sight. The
field will 90011 look green. r
growth will be rapid and soo
will be in the "dough" 9t>
A few inches of the plant fi
the ground up will be turn
brown, Now, you watch tl
and as soon an this is the coi
tiou, you have the old mat
drop all other work and get
the mower because the oat c
is now ready to be made i
the very best hay you can |

I would mow one day and |
