PREPARING THE CORN FIELD
Manure, Supplemented With Some '
Form of Fertilizer to Furnish
Phosphoric Acid, Is Best.
(By W. M. KELLEY.)
On the majority of stock and dairy
farms the corn field Is the Ideal place 1
to apply the farm manure. A corn
crop la able to make profitable use of
manure for the reason that It makes
its principal growth late in the season 1
after the fertilizing elements in the
manure have been available to nour
ish the growing plants, ly the action
of the elements.
The ideal corn field Is prepared by
applying manure to a clover sod. 1
A light dressing of stable manure
on the clover aod will make an abund
ance of nitrogen for the corn crop and
at the proper time during its growth
to insure a maximum yield. The bac
teria in the manure will hasten the
decomposition of the organic matter
contained in the roots and stubble of
the clover sod and hasten them into
| a condition available to nourish the
; growing com crop.
All farmers know that excellent
crops of mixed grass may De grown
on a field that has produced a good
crop of corn by the application of
manure alone the previous year but
lr. my opinion better economical re
sults may be obtained if the manure
is applied at the rate of from 5 to
10 loads to the acre and supplemented
with some form of fertilizer supply
ing an abundance of phosphoric acid
and potash.
The phosphoric acid may be pur
chased in numerous forms, but in my
opinion the potash had best come in
the form of a high grade or a low '
grade sulphate.
PARI IFCT OP SWFFT PEPPERS
Plants Require Rather Light, Well
Dralnod Soil, and They Must Be
Kept Growing From Start.
Perhaps the earliest variety is the
Neapolitan. If well grown plants are
set out early they will produce fine
fruit in June. The fruit first turns to
a light yellow and then to a brilliant
scarlet.
The Ruby King, the Bull Nose, or
Sweet Bell are fine peppers. They are
blunt nosed, round and about two or
three inches long. The Ruby King is
a little larger than the Bull Nose and
it* flfsh la very mild and sweet.
These plants grow about three feet
high and are not easily blown down.
The largest variety is the Chinese
Giant The flesh is thick and sweet
and can be eaten raw.
Peppers require rather light, well
drained soil, and they must be kept
growing from the start. If the growth
Is checked by cold weather or lack of
moisture they will not mature well.
When the plants show two or three
leaves in seed bed transplant In small
j cans or flower pots, and Again trans
j plant when all danger of frost is
j passed and, in fact, not until the
I weather becomes quite warm. Place
i a shovelful of well watered manure in
i each hill.

Removing Fence Posts.
A laborer was sent to remove a

moved. We let him sleep till noon,
as we thought he had earned his rest.

Value of Manure.
Progressive farmers realize the im
! portance of saving more barnyard
manure and using it liberally on the
farm. Manure supplies both plant
food and humus and has a tendency
to revive and reclaim thin and worn
soils. Soils that have been dressed
with manure are easier to cultivate,
and what is better, they produce
larger crops.
FERTILITY MAY BE RESTORED
Principal Factor In Restoration, Ac
cording to Prof. Alfred Vivian,
18 Organic Matter.
"Any soil which was once rich can
be made rich," Is the declaration
made by Prof. Alfred Vivian, acting
dean of the College of Agriculture,
Ohio State University, in a recent ad
dress. The principal factor concerned
In the restoration of the soil fertility,
according to Prof. Vivian, is organic
matter.
"The destruction of organic matter
by cultivation and otherwise, is
largely responsible for the depletion
our our soils," said he. "This organic
matter must be restored if we expect
our farms to be productive. What
rirtoa nruanir< matter do? It increases
the power of the soil to absorb and
retain moisture; Improves the physi
cal or mechanical condition of the
soil; helps to control soil tempera
ture, and Is a storehouse of plant
food. How can organic matter be re
stored to the Boll?
"By saving all animal manures and
putting them onto the land; by mak
ing use of all crop residues, that Is,
putting back Into the soil everything
not used for feed; by turning under
green manuring and catch crops."
Prof. Vivian pointed out the loss sus
tained by burning straw stacks and
other crop residues and declared that
the difference between the careful
saving of this plant food and Its wan
ton destruction was "the difference
between the salvation and damnation
of our soils."

Agricultural Engineer Must Solve
Many Problems.
Must Determine Just What Drainage
Is Needed, Judge Farm Machin
ery, Gasoline and Steam En
gines and Road Building.
(By DANIEL SCOATES. Agricultural
Engineer, Mississippi A. & M. College.
What does agricultural engineering
mean? That is the first question that
comes when you see or hear that name.
It means that the day of the special
ist Is at hand, and the civil, mechan
ical, electrical and textile engineers
are bo busy with their work that they
are unable to give the farmer the at
tention due him. So another engi
neering profession was born and call
ed agricultural engineering. It is the
business of the agricultural engineer
to take care of the engineering prob
lems that confront the farmer?he is
the farmer's engineer. Now, you
know that the engineering problems
that bother the farmer are drainage,
farm machinery, engines, road build
ing, farm buildings, water supply,
sanitation, etc. Quite a few things
when you get them all together, and
you wonder that the farmer hasn't had
an engineer before.
Drainage Is the vital question to the
south, and yet there are thousands
ALFALFA FOR HOG PASTURES
Crop Will Give Better Results for
Grazing Purposes Than Any
Other Forage Known.'
Alfalfa will give better results for
hog grazing purposes than any other
forage kdown. It Is a nitrogenous
forage, rich In protein and calcium,
and therefore furnishes the necessary
protein and mYneral matter for the
highest durelopment of bone and mus
cle. It lfl a very excellent eaVly for
age, since It begins growth early In
the spring. When supplemented with
corn to the extent of one-half of a full
ration or to the extent of two per cent
Df the weight of the 1 hogs,
the best results are obtained.
When alfalfa Is fed alone It
is about equal to a maintenance ra
tion; so when corn is fed with It ev
ery pound will be used for the pro
duction of gain. Alfalfa and corn, we
believe, will produce a greater net
profit to the farmer than any other
combination known.
Under ordinary conditions alfalfa
will forage from 10 to 20 shoats per
acre. A new seeding should be pas
tured very lightly the first season.
No larger number than 10 shoats per
acre or one sow and her litter should
be used. After the first season as
high as 20 head per acre or two sows
and their litters may be pastured on
it throughout the season. In any
event, It should not be pastured so
closely that no woody growth will
take place. A very good rule to go by
Is not to pasture It so closely .but that
one cutting of hay may be taken off
in the fore part of the season.
One year's experiment with alfalfa
has been completed, and very satls
.'actory results hava been obtained.
Ir. July of 1909 the ground Intended
for alfalfa in piot numDer t, was
plowed and worked until a Arm bot
tom with a fine seed bed on top was
obtained. This was then worked once
each week thereafter until August
lGth, when two bushels of soil, taken
from a field growing successfully a
crop of alfalfa, and six barrels of lime
were sown, and then the plot seeded
to alfalfa, at the rate of 30 pounds
per acre. A very thick, heavy stand
was obtained, which was pastured for
the first season in 1910. The experi
ment was begun with the number of
hogs at the rate of 12 per acre; but
on May 24 it was thought best for
the Eake of the alfalfa to reduce the
number to 10 per acre, at which rate
It was pastured throughout the re
mainder of the season. The hogs
i?;6a were purchased of a local farmer
and were crossbred Poland China
Tamworths. They were farrowed In
early winter, and were in thin to
meiUum condition of flesn at the be
ginning of the experiment. The av
erage initial weight was 58.5 ibp., and
the average final weight was 181.01
lbs. The forage was supplemented
with corn meal in sufficient quantity
to produce the standard gain of three
fourths of a pound per hundred
weight per day. The alfalfa was 6
Inches high at the beginning of the
experiment.
The average amount of grain re
quired to produce a pound gain was
3.07 pounds. The amount of pork
that could be accredited to the alfalfa
forage was 596.8 pounds per acre.
With pork at 6 cents the return per
acre was $35.71; with pork at 7 cents
$41.68; and with pork at 8 cents,

in the early days, writes Professor H.
i Garman of Kentucky experiment sta
tion, I have been impressed with the
importance of supplying the trees
with fertilizers as the soil becomes
exhausted, and am satisfied that the
greater relative difficulty experienced
nowadays in keeping fruit trees in
good condition is in part due to an
exhaustion of soil.
Trees forage more widely than
smaller plants, and may not show the
effects of starvation as suddenly or
as soon, but they must show it in

not be too small, especially where ail

SUNMSlllOOL
Lesson
(By E. O. 8ELL.EK3, Director of Even
ing Department. Tho Moody Bible In
stitute of Chicago.)
LESSON FOR MAY 19.
THE OLD LAW AND THfc NEW
LIFE.
LESSON TfcXT?Matt. 5:17-2o.
GOLDEN TEXT?"He that lov?th M?
neighbor hath fulfilled the law.'?Bom.
18:8.
If there to any one thing -we aa
Americans delight in, it 1b In enacting
laws. We seem to have an Insane
Idea that all the Ills of human life
can be cured by legislation. There
seems to be a correspondingly great
er carelessness In Ihe matter of law
enforcement. Jesufflld not found his
kingdom upon a multiplied number of
"Thou shalt not's," of merely negative
enactments. He took the old Divine
law and "fulfilled" i. e., filled it full
with life. He put purpose, life and vi
tality into that law. He transformed
it from an outward formal observance
to an inward heart motive. At the
outset of this lesson Jesus not only
says that he will obey the law of
Moses and' the admonitions of the
prophets, but that those same princi
pies shall apply in the hearts of tne
citizens of hla new kingdom. That
moral order which is In accordance
with the Divine standard Is still to be
observed. Christianity gives no li
cense to its followers. The righteous
ness which Is of Christ dpes not les
sen our moral obligations. Jesus says
that not the least "jot or tittle," the
smallest part of a Hebrew letter, the
"dotting of an I or the crossing of a
T" shall be set aside. They must all
be realized in the lives of his follow
ers.
Responsible for Teachings.
In order to emphasize this still fur
ther, he tells those whom he calls and
appoints to his service that they shall
be held responsible for what they
teach, as well as what they practice,
with regards these commands. To
teach men to break one of the* very
least is to become least in his new
kingdom. To obey and to teach oth
ers to obey is to become great viu this
new kingdom. Such Is the importance
he places upon the Old Testament
teachings and his statement as to its
authors. Let us beware reading into
bis words any meaning that shall set
aside this portion of Holy Writ, or
that shall suggest any question as to
their accepted authorship or author
ity. But Jesus was also aware of the
danger of outward obedience or mere
perfunctory fulfilment of that law to
gether with the myriads of traditions
that had grown up with it. Hence it
is that he so specifically warns his
followers that their righteousness. 1.
e., right relations, must exceed that j
of the Pharisees whose loyalty to tbe j
'- ? ? ? > la on famnuR His I
followers must keep not only the form
but the spirit also, and so he goes on |
to Illustrate. Beginning with an old i
commandment, "Thou shalt not kill,''
he shows us that the outward final I
act of murder Is but an outgrowth of ,
the spirit of a man's heart, hence he <
who hates his brother man is In dan
ger of, 1. e., already In the power of.
those forces that in their culmination
will bring him before the tribunal. I
Anger, contempt, condemnation |
("thou fool") all of these are unright- |
eous, they are criminal, and the sen
tence of death already rests upon him
who will not repent of these things.
Nothing more clearly reveals the
state of our hearts than the way we ,
speak to or about others, whether our
speech be full of love or hate, selfish
ness or generosity. The difference be- [
tween the one who hates and he who !
kills is only accidental and not essen- j
tial.
"In danger of hell." Jesus clearly |
indicates in all of his teaching a fu- i
tur? state of punishment as well as
one of bliss, and granting that these
words are only symbolical, of which
we are not convinced, w.e must pray
to be delivered from the reality. These
words are of the merest nonsense if
Jhey be not true, and certainly we
cannot accuse Jesus of Jesting nor j
suggest him to be a fool (lacking In j
knowledge) as he speaks upon so seri- <
ous a subject. When we speak con- j
temptuously or flippantly upon the
subject of hell we are reflecting upon
the wisdom and knowledge of Jesus.
Jesus' Philosophy Simple.
"Rememberest thy brother hath !
aught against thee." The philosophy
of Jesus is perfectly simple. If an- j
ger is criminal then he who Is guilty
must of necessity become reconciled
to that one whom he has offended.
Not merely that we are to forgive {
those who have wronged us. for that
Is not such a hard matter. But we
must get right with our brother who
has aught against us before our gifts
will be acceptable unto God. Some I
one has said, "it is far easier to give
up a coin than to give up a quarrel.
It is easier to lay down a generous
offering than to lay down a grudge." I
This requires ha?te, we must agree j
with our adversary quickly or else he
will turn upon us and presenting his
righteous cause before the tribunal
bring upon us a juagmem ior uur an- i
ger, our censoriousness. or our con
demnation. Once thus brought before I
the judge, be it an earthly tribunal. J
public opinion, or a loving God, our I
opportunity is past and we shall be
obliged to pay to the uttermost, even
so small a part as a farthing?about
two-fifths of a cent. Of course we
know the difference between a man
having a grudge against us and his i
having just cause or claim against us.
We cannot control the hearts of oth
ers, but we can set all just causes or
claims aright and then forgiving his
grudge even seventy times seven we
shall find our offering not only accept
able in God's sight, but a sweet smell
ing savour as well.
It is because of a lack of adjust
ment right here that so many of our
prayers are not answered. We must
settle these just claims sometime;
let us do it "quickly."

Milam Medicine Co., Danville, Va.
Gentlemen?I bare been afflicted with a tor*
taring skin disease pronounced by the physi
clans to be "Psoriasis," and bare had it tor tea
years. No treatment of the physicians ever r*?
lieved me. and I continued to grow worse and
was unable to do my work. By the advice of my
physician I commenced to take Milam on March
8th last I am now far on the road to recovery,
and feel that I will be entirely cored- I am now
at work and feel no inconvenience from It
"I take great pleasnre in giving this certifloata
and think Milam it a great medicine.
Yours truly.
