2 Agricultural September Farming. Oi- I Tbose who contemplate soil j iiniinivpniont thrruitrli t.hn lisp nt the legumes, such ?s crimson clover, vetch and burr clover, should procure seed tor these crops at once so as t ) take advantage of the teasons tor putting in these crops, 1 lie farmers of the South are annually losing gieat quantities of nitrogen by failing to gather it from the air with these crop3. From our own experience and observation, we ueiieye mere is nu surer jiui cheaper way to improve our soils tli in with these legumes. It is better to sow burr clover in the hull rather than sow the clean seed, tor when sowing the seed in the liulU.it is quite certain the hull contains enough bacteria to partially iuoculute the soil. But to he sure of inoculation, i! is always safer to ?ct soil from some inoculated field and sow from two hundred pounds up per acre. This advice holds good with all tho legumes. Burr clover should be put in at once. Crimson clover, in the higher and cooler sections, should also be put in at once, and we think it will be safer in all sec* i/Mir? ?mi I i f z *\ i 11 Ck Ai^t hnr I IUI1S |,\J pill XV 111 111 KJSJ * V *** ^ rather than wait later, provided there is sufficient moisture in the land to make it germinate readily. When Crimson elover has not been tried, and it is unknown whether it vull grow or not, it will he 6afer to sow rye with it, say one bushel of rye and seven or eight pounds of Crimson clover seed per acre. This can oe sown on clean land, in stubble, after running over the stubble with a di-c or cutaway harrow, or in growing crops, when the crops are not dense enouuh to kill out the clover by shading it. On account ot the value of these crops as soil-improvers, we insist that each farmer try at least one acre in this and in that way IllilKC it ItfSt Ui l 11 Cr i l V J 1 I u ~ I s 'il-improver-8. In many sections when fail or winter oats have not already been sown, September is the best month to put them in. The early sown oats are more likely to make a lull crop than are those sown later. It they are to be used for hay it will be well to sow vetch wi'li them, say twenty pounds of vetch and one j bushel of oats per acre. This ; will make a much better hay i than all oats and will not drawl on the land so heavily. It will *:e] well to sow with them 250 to 300 pounds fertilizer p?r acre analyzing about 8 per cent phosphoric acid, 2 per cent, ammonia and 4 per cent potash. This can be made by mixing 150 pounds Of id pel' cent acid phosphate, 85 pounds cottonseed meal, and 25 pounds of muriate of potash. Use only the best winter oats obtainable, such as the Appier, Outhberson, or Virginia Winter. Never sow a spring oat in the fall. T. .. _ _i s_? r ~,1 ? - 1 1!

No work for wheat pay9 as well as early plowing if the wheat is to be put \ TBE ] i^C^ClI ULll^llL. on fallow land. This crop ra.elv 1 ever does as well when sowed on 1 laud that lies fallow until time 5 to sow as when sowed on land 1 plowed two months before seed- 1 ing time. If the land ' to be nut- in wheal is 1 now in peas, it will he better to only di-c the land after the peas 1 are cut til and not plow. Also when wheat is to be sowed in land now growing corn it will be well to disc the land instead ot turning it deeply with a plow. This is true because wheat does ' Ae ? n n It em np f 1? * t,/\i 1 f It > t\ n c? HI a niiii vi uiiiiu ?uu mm' in a loose or open soil. Experience 1ms proven that acid phosphate is the cheapest lertilizer for wheat sown on red land. If: on gray land potash may be added. Sow at the rate of 300 pounds per acre a fertiiiz n* analyzing about 10?2. Do not lorget the turnip patch. Put in a libera! quantity. They are good for man and beast. Always remember the best turnips grow on rich land. Use liberally a fertilizer rich in potash. Plant different varieties so as to have tli m through the longest season possibly. This is to remind those who are going to sow alfalfa this fall to get it in, if possible, before the middle of the month. It might he all right to now it later, but (he earlier sowing is the safest. It is too late to prepare the land now, ami those contemplating sowing, and who have not yet prepared their lan l, had belter put oir the sowing until the early spring or next tall. It is now fodder-pulling time with our farmres, and we suggest to those who will puil fod <ier fcu n>>t he in ioj big a hurry j about it. Wait un'il the grains o( corn a'e full, sufficiently mature to not shrink from theef-j lects of pulling the /odder. This may cause some los* in weight and value of fodder, but the gain in the corn saved will more than repay the lo9s in fodder. But why pull the fodder at all? Why not cut the stalks and save the entire plant as so often advised in The Progressive Farmer? This is the more excellent way, especially when we consider the scarcity of "roughness" with many of our farmers. With food scarce an 1 priced, it is very much to be re. gretted that ?<> larg* a part of the feeding value of our corn j crop should continue to be wasted when the fact is so well es tablishel that more feed and cheaper feed is to be had by har vesting the crops by other rneth ods. But the waste ot muchmwiilo/1 loi^ ir fi'i-ooo i a nof f i?o nvvuvv* ?"I1K l "i 1' iiV/b worst feature of fodder-pulling as practiced throughout the South. One great objection to the practice can lie 1 *rgely avoid ed, and to accomplish this we adtha' the corn he allowed to more nearly complete its growth bdore ??ripping off the leaves. I' well established by experience and should be apparent to, anyone ol intelligence that when*| the leaves are removed the addition of matter io the ears must j J cease. Therelore, the pulling ( of fodder shou'd be delayed un 1 til the corn is well glazed and t , . JtmMt-1 , / LANCASTER N.WS, AUGUST beginning to harden. But a much better plau would be to allow the crops to .ripen as we do other crops and then cut *nd cure in the shocks. If no shredder is available, the stalks may be run through a cutter and a large amount ol valuable feed secured. Even in that way from three to tour times as much teed may be obtained and less injury done to the ears. What preparation ha9 been made for fattening the hogs to be killed in December? Those who have sorghum, p *as, peanuts or other crops to supplement or pre cede the com feeding will make the cheapest po;k, but these crops should be used in the way which will give the b'*st resu:ts. 1< it is intended to teed corn a month or m ?re, th n feeding one half 'he usual c >rn ritio 1 for twice the period and supplemen'ing this with crops like sorghum, peas and peanuts in the order n unod will produce more and better pork a' les? cost.

It should u<?t he fed at all, or if fed, only sparingly until thoroughly dry and hard. Many cases of colic during the fall are directly traceable to the feeding of green or soft corn.?The Progressive Far r.er. Tr n *# r* a?i r? r? I L11 I LHU.')
