Progressive Farmer.
In June, 1888,I bought
old, abandoned, worn-out fa
in Dindiddie County, Va.
was so poor that the neighb
told me I would starve to dea
that the former owner, una
to make a living on it, had ab
doned it and suffered it to

As I came from a wheat coi
try, I thought I would try a
tie wheat. I sowed two bu
els on the best spot I could fi
and the next summer harves
three bushels. During the w
ter I cleared three acres of n
land for com. The new la
produced about twenty bush

next to nothing, the most o

loads, corn, stalk and all.

I saw this land was devoid
humus, so at all odd spell
went to the woods and gather
Jitter and the top soil and mix
it with all the manure I col
make, and applied it thinly a
evenly to the land, and it w
surprising to see how a little
it made the land respond. T1
encouraged me no little, as
added greatly to my next cc
crop. I had sowed black p<
in ray corn at the last worki
and got a fairly good grow
of them, which I alsou-ed in t
next spring. I also used in t
spring an application of ac

broadcasted with hlacK peas,
which I got a fine growth,
made a fairly good corn crop.
