Four Essentials to Southern Agricul tural Prosperity. H the farmers of tho South produced all the mules, corn, hogs, and hay that are used in the South, what would be the effect on nur agriculture? It would simply mean a revolution. There are few counties in the whole South that have a railroad station or a steam boat landing that do not buy large quantities of two or more of these sta ple products. There is no way of es timating accurately the money spent each year for these farm products, but it is simply enormous. Ml this would lie retained in the South to Circulate and increase all lines of business; but this is only one of the many honoflts which would accrue. Not until wo breed our own mules can we hope to havo enough of them to do our farm work well and economically. There are no greater weaknesses in our pres ent system of doing farm work than those resulting from a lack of mule power?the use of small, in effective implements and of man labor which should have its place taken by ma chines and mules. As long as corn and hay are pur chased to feed live stock, we can nev er hopo to keep that necessary to build up our worn lands anil consume the forage which must be grown when a proper crop rotation is adopted. Hogs offer one opportunity for get ting into live stock husbandry at a small cost for breeding stock and there is abundant proof thai they can he produced on cheap Southern-grown feeds at a large profit over presoni prices, Here, indeed, is a "money crop" equal to King Cotton if culti vated with the same Interest .-ml mod-I crate Intelligence. Many of (he suggestions offered for tho betterment of Southern ngrlculturo are rejected by Southern tanners, as Impracticable under existing condi tions. This is generally nol true, the Impraetibllity of their adoption rost ing entirely in the disinclination of Oltr farmers; but who will dare* stale that every Individual farmer in the South can not raise his hay. corn ami hogs, and a little more lor the town people of his section, if he r -ally wants to. Moreover, tho farmers of the South, as a whole, can raise all Hie mules used by the South, just as soon as they want, or try, to do so. Rn lelgll (N. C.) Progressive Farmer. Makes Everything New.

All during the spring, and the oarly part of the summer, we fed our hens on a mlxturo of puro wheat bran und corn hearts monl?about equal parts, with grain only three or four times a week?and they thrived on It, and laid woll. Hut, as the autumn seuson came on they seemed to get tired of It, and to scratch the mixt? o from the bins as much as possible, and to seem to bo going Into early moult? stopping laying almost ontlrely. Bays a writer In tho Desert Farmer. Espe cially has this been truo of our Leg horns; and so we put our thinking; caps on to devise a plan to hold them i up to the laying scratch to some ex tent at least during the early autumn. And so, with this object in view, and a largo dry shed that was slatted up all around available, wo corraled a dozen or two of our Ix?ghorn hens, and put thorn In the shed enclosure, with roosting provided therein. Then Standard Brown Leghorn Male. we littered tho ground well with straw and other trash, and began feed ing them with small grain and seeds in there for them to work out, and of a morning and evening we give them a good feed of fresh white clover gathered while tho dew is on it. This system we Had Is rallying them greatly. CHICKEN ROOST IS SANITARY Made Round Without Any G we to Harbor Insects .rn I Can be Quickly Removed.

February is none too soon to start your campaign for egg orders. Wo need new breeds when they are better than the breeds wo havo. Ii Ih n mistake to suppose that oggr, cannot be entered hv bacteria. There Is undoubtedly great room for Improvement In tho egg Industry. The fact 1? that one breed will do about as well as another If given tho right earn. Young birds, pullets, are usually moBt reliable for egg production In the late fall and early winter. How hens do like sweet apples! Oood for them. too. Share them be tween the hens and the pigs. Poultry, like everything else, has no best sldo. It all depends upon the man who is to run the business. Too many farmers and poultry rais ers are prone to feed whatever they raise tho most of, particularly corn. With the open front poultry house, let the house be reasonably deep from front to back with the rooeta to tho rear. Soft-shelled eggs usually indicate that your hen* are orer-fat. Lessen the grain feed, and feed more greon food. Of the various forma In which, poul try la put on the market, the greatest gains ar?Uo be obtained from the fat tening of roosters. If you are successful^ getting the birds to lay during the autumn you wUI stand a good chance of having them keep up the performance. Halc-to-thc-Acre Crops should Im? tlio Rule. For large yields I find this rotation to give best results: First year, wheat followed by corn, peas sown after wheat harvest, ut the rate of 2 bushels per acre, or 1 bushel per acre and 12 pounds crimson clover. Second year, com, with cow peas at last plowing, either alone or with 10 pounds crim son clover. We get best results when sown with clover as wo are able to have one nitrogenous crop to decay on the soil, also one to turn for green manure in the spring. Third year, cotton, with crimson clover at last plowing, or rye in the fall. By this rotation we have brought up an old upland farm from COO to 1,800 or more pounds seed cotton cot ton per acre. in preparing cotton laud I break the land and harrow un til 1 get an ideal seed-bed. It is gen erally argued by farmers that cotton will make just ;is much per acre where the land is merely ridged and cotton planted just any old way. Prom ex perience, 1 find no'crop will pay any better returns for the time spent in preparing the soil for its reception, than cotton. After many experiments 1 found 1 was able to get larger yields when the cotton was planted in drills :'. 1-2 feel apart and thinned to one stalk every 1.". to IS Inches.

After thinning, it is culti vated once a week, if no rain to form crust, and always cultivated as soon as the land will permit after a rain. 1 find a hard-baked t rust means a great loss of forms and young Polls. I have found shallow, level cultiva tion give the largest yields. YV. ('. Cook in Raleigh lN. C.I Progressive Farmer, K?ster Miras In Miry pi. Hack in old Kgypt. long before the Christian era.
