Year. . ^HH The cowpe?s and pean nts and sopf beans planted or sowed during the aaext six weeks will exert ? tremen dous influenoe on next year's crops. *When the effects of a crop of cow peas or soy beans on tihe yield of the following crop is considered, is St not more than strange that every acre of corn is not sowed in cow peas and every acre pf oat and wheat stubble is not planted in soy beans or cow peas? The farmer sometimes complains, and rightfully so, of the profits made by those who live through handling his products, but the per eent of these profits is small in comparison with the per cent of profit from every legume crop that will be planted in corn or after wheat or oats during the next two months. With the certainty of the profits from growing these legumes and the magnitude of these profits demonstrated thousands of times and admitted by everybody, it is truly astounding that there is a ?ingle acre left unseeded to some one of these legumes that it is pos sible to seed. The reasons that are given for the neglect to profit by these catch crops which our long-growing sea eon make possible are many and varied. Some of them do little cred it to our iftelligence as farmers, but most of them reveal the tendency of human nature to try to justify the things we do. With some, it is the high price of seed, and they seem to think that the profits on this high priced seed might be ob tained by producing their own seed ilse no bearing on the case. Others Argue that cowpeas do better when planted alone than when sowed in corn, apparently assuming that be cause the largest crop cannot ha ?grown in corn or after oats, an in crease of 25 to 50 per cent in next year's crops is too small for con sideration. Still others find it im possible!?) to prepare the oat and wheat stubble for peas and soy beans. The weather is hot, the teams are busy and the ground may be <bard and dry. These are all facts, bat they may still fall far short of sufficient excuse for neglecting this means of increasing soil fertility and produoing forage. The a?m should be to sow every acre in oom to cowpeas and sow cowpeas or plant peanuts or soy beans on every acre of oat aind wheat stubble and every other acre Hot growing some other crop. This should be the aim and while often it may prove difficult or impossible to reach the point aimed, j net so far as we fail to reach that point, just so far do we come short of the best farming.-Progressive Farmer. Help to Raise Standard of In tellectual fcLife of Your Community. The Progressive Farmer, in aa article on "Some things you can do" to help your neighborhood, has this paragraph: "If there ever wis a time when our farmers needed education more than at any other time, that time is right now. Vast problems, in volving perhaps the veritable re making of our rural civilization, are pressing for solution. See that your children are as well educated as pos sible, and help the cause of educa tion in your neighborhood by get ling your neighbors to read the best papers you know. Thousands of farmers have educated themselves by reading good papers. Make your neighborhood a reading neighbor hood, and it will be an intelligent neighborhood, and co-operation will follow." Fifty years ago tbere was a neigh borhood in one of the counties of North Carolina that was derided for miles around because the people who ?lived there kept thennelvea poor buying book9 and educating their children. Some of the farmers actually 6ent their sons-nay, their daughters-to college, to the amused contempt of the rest of the county. They kept an excellent high j school going for years; they even i organized a debating Bociety, and built a modest but neat brick hall for it to meet in. It was a genuine scandal to their thrifty neighbors Uie way these people wasted their money on such things a6 magazines and newspapers. Every house^n that community was foll of them, aud high-class, expensive ones too. But the inhabitants of that community were obstinate and held to their mad career through jeer6 and jibes. Out ol that community, which never held more than 50 or 75 souls, there have come at least a dozen men who have reached state-wide eminence; among the sons of these stubborn pioneers are lawyers, doc tors, preachers, editors and teachers galore. Some ol them have returned to the farms and are now showing the surrounding county what scien tific agriculture means. Out of the last generation there has not gone outag&ingle one who bas made a f: n : rb- in life, and several have had ??^ly?t careers. And through its HHjs-jtbe community itself has H9HMg?iave '*> name known all North Carolina; many a reader i?i?Sne Daily News will recognize it by no better description than is given here. Make your neighborhood and it will bean intelligent neighborhood." Yes, indeed. The chances are that it will beeome in the course of time a great neighborhood.-Greensboro News.

There ie no place in the modern world for tbe unskilled; no one can hope for any genuii.e success who fails to give himeelf tbe most com plete special education. Good intentions go for nothing, and industry is thrown away if one cannot infuse a high degree of skill into his work. The man of medium skill de pends upon fortunate conditions for success; he cannot command it, nor can he keep it.

Good Kinds and Every Man Has His Favorite Among Them-? Splendid and Senator Dunlap Are Sure to Bear. (By HENRY FIELD.) Remember I told you last sommer that the time to Bet strawberries was early In the spring. April is my choice. Just after the leaves start and before the blossoms appear the plants will live with half a show. You can hardly kill them. A month later you can hardly get them to live. Now get ready to set a good bed. For family use at least 300 plants. If yon get too many berries it won't do a hit of harm. I like mostly staminate or perfect blossom sorts. You can set a solid block of one kind of them and they will all bear. If you set pistillate or Device for Cutting Dewberry Runners, and at the Same Time Cultivate the Soi!. Ordinary Rooting Cultivator Attached to Wheel. imperfect blossom sorts you will have to set some of the others with them to furnish pollen, and ev?n then, if it is poor weather you will fail to get ?L, good set of berries. JLW There are lots of good kinds every man his favorite among \the<g|^ I like .Splendid and Senator;, PraB best of any, because-they are sure^H live, grow and spread like weeds, ancra always bear. They are much alike in many ways and I never had a failure with either one. Both are perfect blos som, have strong, rugged foliage, free from rest, and bear enormously of good sized berries. Of the pistillates, I like Sample best, but it is more a professional's berry than a farmer's berry. Clyde has such a weak plant that it is hard to get to live and rusts badly. Sena tor Dunlap or Splendid will almost kill out blue-grass and that is what the average farmer wants in a berry. It must Keep hustling, whether lt gets the best of care or not. Be sure the eggs for hatching are uever chilled. Keep the house free of draughts and keep a good clean litter to scratch in. There is no need of a male bird if you are keeping hens for eggs alone. Take good care of the stock you have and you can develop it into good bardy stock. It is a good plan to occasionally scald thc dropping boards and roosts with boiling water. Give the hens a chopped onion oc casionally in the mash, lt is excellent as a disease preventative. If the rooster is old do not have too many bens in the breeding pen if you expect the eggs ..o hatch. Study your birds closely and learn their habits. The better you know them the better success you will have. Soft-shelled eggs are often caused by fowls being confined, becoming overfat, and from lack of mineral mat ter. The incubator should be located in a room where the temperature does not vary much during the day or night A restless hen will never answer to ase as a hatcher early in the season, when steady warmth is an imperative condition of success. Dust the hen with insect powder before sitting, and twice more while hatching, then chick.', will not be full of lice to begin with. For early hatches it is best to give not more than eleven eggs to a hen, or those on the outer edge may be come exposed and chilled. Clean and sweeten up the poultry house the first warm day. Use a. good disinfectant and lice killer about the roosts and dropping boards. In operating brooders remember that uniform heat should always be maintained. It is better to have a little too much heat than too little. Fowls should be as humanely treat ed as possible and should never be iinnecessarily frightened. Content ment materially aids egg production. Notice fe Stock Raisers My handsome combination stal lion and also hiy registered jack will make the spring season at my farm near Clark's Hill.
