How Live Stock Will Help
The Cotton Grower.
The Farmers' Union and Cotton
Association b>th are advocating
v liat clear headed men have long
contended for?namely, lhat the
cotton acreage should be kept
down. The farming population
must hive something to make a
living on, and if it is to be less cotton
it must be more ot something
else. Raising other plowed crops
to replace part, of the cotton
would aid the cause ; but there
is still a better way.
SUPPLEMENT COTTON WITH LIVE
STOCK,
One crying need to day in the
South is land that is in good condition.
llumus, decayed vegetable
matter, has been lost from
the soil to an extent that makes
the soil hard to work, easily affected
by both wet and dry
weather so that crops are injured
easily by either, small yields ot
crops every year, and small protits.
There are several ways that

be done so profitably as by
raising stock on the tland. The
grass or stored toed used by the
stock should give some profit a*
the time the stock are sold, and
the manure would still remain
behind to improve the soil. In
a very large number of cases it
p ays the farmer who owns his
own laud and works, to raise a*
crop of cow peas, for instance, to
, be turned under solely for improving
I be soil. If, instead of
turning the crop under, it is
grazed off by stock or is made
into hay and fed to stock, the ex
tra gain in flesh or wool should (
in itself prove profitable ; and if
the manure has the care that
a product of its value should
have, from three-fourths to fourfiftlis
of the minurial value ori- (
ginally iu the crop can be regain- (
ed in the manure. This practi- (
cally means that such a crop
handled in the latter way ultimately
brings in from one dollar
and a bait to t wo dollars for every
one dollar of outlay. This can be
counted on with more certainty
than the profit from a crop of
corn or a crop of cotton.

the manure can be got almost as1

money enough." Tiiwy seoiu t<>
imagine that if thov do not liive
capital enough to engag in
stock farming on a large scale
at the beginning, they cannot
engage in stork raising on a small

the stock business i? the same
way, it they show as much determination
as men as they did as
creeping children On the whole,
it is generally just as well (or
the average farmer to start into
stock raising on a small scale.?

The Farmers and the Banks.
It is 'uo ne< thing lor Tho
Progressive Farmer to urge its
readers to have a Lank account
jif possible; lliat is, to keep in
the bank what money they have
I 'hat is not needed for immediate
use Right now, it qpetns to us
that a renewal of this advice
innot be out of place. At a
tune when money is tight, holding
it out of circulation will not
help hut, will aggravate the evil.
We do not urge that, the farmers
sell their cotton; but the point
we make is, that wli^n they do
sell it the money received should
not be carried home and locked
up, but should be left in the
bank where it can help to keep
up circulation and thus maintain
better prices lor the next cotton
they sell. As they sell their cotton
and corn and other surplus
crops and receive money for
them, the farmers can do a great
work in easing the money market?and
thus in promoting bet
ter prices for all farm products ?
by simply turning their surplus
dollars back into the bank again
until they are needed lor actual
use.
These pouts were recently
elaborated in an editorial in the
Charleston News and Courier to
which our attention is called by
Mr. J. W. Denmark, Chairman
of the Executive Committee of
the North Carolina Farmers'
Alliance. lie endorses the sug
gestmns as important and timely,
and believes that the farmers,
especially at the present lime,
could help themselves as well as
others by heeding and acting
upon these wise suggestions.?

That our American rorosts abound In
plants which possess tlie most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly uttrsted
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untutored
Indians had discovered the usefulness
of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This Information,
imparted freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.
