r jr tmAm | SOUTHERN / ^ > V -a? >( ^WPICS OF INTEREST TO THE PLANT k Wh?t an Acre Will I>o. | In cattle production an acre of land in the middle Soutli in Bermuda jrrass L will probably carry one animal for I about seven months; an acre of blue P grass in the North will do this. Land in the South is much cheaper than in the North, and hence taxes and the necessary investments are less. The ^ Southern, farmer on his acre of land <-anj)r<xluce two crops a year if need he. A cereal crop, for example, for grain production; this may be barley, oats or rye, to be followed the same year by eowpeas or soy beans for hay or grain. For this crop he can obtain possibly twenty or twenty-five bushels of grain and two or more tons of hay quite as rich and valuable as alfalfa, ^^^^nay follow his cereal crop with and eowpeas or corn and peas H^P^ilage with the expectation of get^Vting ten to twelve tons of the latter ^ per aere. If he chooses he may have |^Ha pasture of pari of the ^Hwin:*-r and early spring after the Bee/ ^Hmudu grass Is gone. He can also have succession of forage crops laid jjown pastures through about? seven ^^ nonths of the year, provided he has I Bermuda grass and cannot bare tame grasses. By coupling Texas s grass with Bermuda be can have ermancnt pasture through practij^aU-tiM'^year. The great drawi to this plant, of course, is the as blue grass roots, but the Southfarmer who is patient and iudus18, can start with a few of these ?h he can afford to purchase, and in lort time establish quite a large of this pasture. Bermuda grass, pasture, will grow on almost any of soil, and can be easily and ply established; more so probably blue grass. course Southern soils, in order to the results indicated above, must ell treated, but no more so than in >is or Indiana. They will also red to good treatment as quickly is surely as soils In those States.? Southern Cultivator. _______ 'J J.fc, I Money in Goat Raiding. John R. Pharr, of Charlotte, was raised on a farm, and the happiest days of his life now are those that he spends at hi9 plantation, which is r.bout six miles northeast of the city, on the Concord road. Mr. Pharr's farm contains about 250 acres, the greater part of which is in a high stftte of cultivation. On the entire farm there is not an acre of cotton, and Mr. Pharr does not regret that he has planted no cotton, even with the : staple selling at twelve and a half cents per pound. His hobby is stock raising, or, rather, hfs common sense and his choice- led him to raise stock and vegetables. What Mr. Pharr takes the greatest pride in is a flock of goats, about thirty-five of the animals. Lamb sells on the local market for about four cents a pound on foot; that is, the market men pay that price to the farmers. Mr. Pharr has been offered ?Ix cents a pound for kid, but refused the offer. There is only one other flock of goats In the county as large as that of Mr. Pharr. and that belongs to Mr. W. S. Clanton, formerly United States Assayer in the city. Goats are three times as hardy as sheep. They eat no ; more, take to fattening easily and will P eat almost anything. Little care Is required for them from their birth, and they mature about as early as sheep. On the other band, sheep re?<virr> from birth, are yuiic . are very delicate. According to Mr. Pharr, there is more money in raising goats than any other stock or in cotton growing. Mr. Pharr also has a fine flock of tie. other stock, and one of the fin t orchards in the county.?Charlotte \ iserver. Lack of Ham Tit. There are thousands of acres in the South which, when first cleared, were in an unproductive condition, by reason of a lack of humus. The red clay uplands of the South have naturally iess humus than similar lands in the North, for In our open woodlands the leaves are blown away to the hollows and bottoms In winter, while in the North they are packed down by snow and held to rot where they fell, and thus a larger amount of humns or vegetable decay Is found there. But when these are stored with humus-maklng matter they rapidly increase in productiveness becanse of their improved mechanical condition. I once remarked to a friend, a good farmer. In an Improving section., that I thought a certain field of corn was poor for a piece of new ground. "Newly cleared land here." he said, "is the poorest land we have, and we never expect it do well till we have handled it a feiX^ears and got some clover and peas on it.*^ I have never fo-gotten the remark, though it was made many years ago. and It set me to--ibinking about the ?ha.

F. Massey. The Granville Tobacco Wilt. { The North Chrolina Agricultural Ex- 1 j periment StJtion has issued a special 1 j bulletin (Xo( 1S8? ou "The Granville I I Tobacco WMt," the destructive dis- ( j case wbiclf played such havoc in ' i Granville Mst summer. The authors 1 ! are Professors F. L. Stevens and W. j G, Sackdtt. All interested tobacco ' [ growers^hould obtain and read the ' ' bulletinpin full, but for ihe benefit of ' I the j^neral public we reprint here 1 the Jfenera! conclusions of Messrs. J Stevens and Sackett: yi'he tobacco wilt is a very serious { ejieniy which not only injures the rferop. but also depreciates the value ! of the land affected, inasmuch as it 1 i prohibits the growing of tobacco in j the affected soils. "It is a contagious disease sprend; ing largely through infected soil, j "There is little hope of restoring i land that is once affected. The ut- ! I most care should be taken therefore j J to prevent the spreading of the germ by means of infeeied tools or by any means. "The number of germs should be diminished by cleaning up old fields f and by burning all diseased plants in slightly affected fields as soon as they are discovered. ? "The greatest hope for the redemp- r tion of land now effected iies in the de- . velopment of a variety of tobacco that t ! can resist the disease." c Value of Cotton Seed. . With regard to the item of grain for cattle feeding, the South has many distinct advantages.- There is cottonseed meal, for example, the greatest j concentrate known, which can be procured 'for $20 to $23 a ton. For fertlii- t zer alone it is worth that much, and . hence when fed to beef cattle the farmer gets two profits from it. The soy beans already referred to when { yielding twenty-five bushels per acre j. give practically the protein equivalent t of eighty to 100 bushels of corn per j, acre. As they come as a second crop j this gives the farmer a distinct advan- $ tage in the matter of protein produc- j torn for the early growth and develop- ( ment of beef cattle on an economic has- , sis.?Progressive Farmer. j y To Destroy Xut Crass. As Brother Massey says, eternal vig ilance is the only thing that will de- < i ; stroy nut grass. By your consent. I j will give my experience and observa- ( tion. Give the land a clean cultiva- j tion for thr e y^ars in succession in 1, cotton; the last plowing should be 1 j in August. The best plow to use is ( what we call here a gopher plow. Have , ( it sharp so that it will cut it clean | ^ every time. Plow as often as possi- , ( ble. If the farmer should prefer to J change the crop the fourth year, sow it down in oats in the fall and then follow with peas, two bushels per acre; then back in cotton. He should have as much cotton weed as possible. With best wishes.?J. W. Aidridge. Danger of Untried Crops. It is dangerous for farmers to 1 leave off the old staple crops nud plant some untried crops when they are not familiar with their matiage-1 niont. Nearly every one who tries it will get left. A farmer we know of i who had been planting cotton all his ' i life and had been able to make both ends meet was cl!urcd by the high price of tobacco to abandon cotton and plant tobacco. When his crop was sold he received just three-fourths enough to pay for the fertilizer used on the crop. All of his work, building barn, cultivating crop, etc., all gone.?Progressive Farmer. tTbtt to Plant. If we were asked about what to nlant next season we would give it as our opinion that every farmer should be sure and raise enough corn and meat to supply the farm and make all the cotton possible, as the price of cotton is likely to be on paying basis for at least a year to come; in fact, with the labor conditions that now confront us, we don't see how the South Is to increase the cotton crop to meet the increasing demand for cotton goods.? Itoanoke-Chowan Times. * r Ho Should Know. Professor P. O. Vanuatter does not hesitate to say that acre for acre he can produce more meat or milk-making foods per year at less cost in the South than he can make in the North, i and as he has had practical experience in both regions ho ought to speak as one having authority.

The increase in the size of steamships is making extraordinary progress ; just now, as the White Star Line has, according to a cable dispatch, ordered ( one 75o feet long. The Baltic, now building, is 725 feet, and the order for another such vessel thirty feet longer is evdience that large steamships pay, particularly when not run too fast. The White Star Line probably has ample cargo in sight for the new vessel, or they would not be built, as they are not racers. i BRMfE FIGHT FOR LIBERTY. husslan Count's Vain Efforts to E?cape Secret Police. The career of the Russian Count Nicholas Savin, who was arPested at Hamburg a few days ago on the information of the Russian secret police, reads like a page of fiction. Several times previously the count, by most reckless courage, had escaped from his prison exile in Siberia, where he had been sent for committing forgery r and each time he was recaptured and extradited from the country where he was found. His last flight, which has lust ended in his arrest at Hamburg, has given the Russian police ten years' trouble. The count got away from Siberia in 1893, and succeeded in reaching the United States. For five -V a? nui [. ears he lived undiscovered ia ^uicago, earning his living at various times as waiter, billiard-marker, cabman and tram conductor. In 1898 he volunteered for the war, and fought with great distinction with the American troops against Spain. Afterwards he went to Spain as the representative of an American export house. The Russian secret police were meanwhile making an incessant search and recently they located him in Spain. When the count discovered that his i Identity was known he boarded a steamer at Lisbon, bound for Hamburg. Detectives booked passages by the same vessel, and on arrival at Hamburg persuaded the German authorities to seize the count. He will be taken back to Siberia after the extradition formalities. The count, who is 44 years of age, is the husband of the French Countess Lantrec de Toulouse. WOMEN DECIDE A WAGER. ncumbrance of Skirta Shown by Practical Proof. Two women well known in Vienna vera recently walking besida Lake leneva. discussing the latest fashons, when one of them suddenly renarked that she wished she was not ibliged to wear a skirt, as she would rery much like to bathe then and here in the cool lake. A warm argu ent followed, one maintaining that * i petticoat would not prove an en- [ sumbrance in the water and the other | nsisting that no woman who wore j fither a petticoat or corsets could | iwlm or even keep afloat for mflbre ; ban a few minutes. ; As neither would give way to the | >ther, they finally resolvea to test ; he matter practically, and conse- | luently, after making a small wager, ; hey plunged into the lake. As they vere dressed in the height of fashion heir appearance in the water caused ; l sensation among a crowd of tour- j sts who were on the bank, and at j mce the cry arose that they Intended j x> commit suicide. A minute or two 1 ater half a dozen boats were on the j way to rescue them, but the ladles ' aughlngly said that they required no t issistance, and to show that ther were In no danger they swam out a little way and then returned to the ;hore. The one who had maintained that a woman's dress was no encumbrance in the water then candidly admitted , that she was mistaken, and vowed < that in future whenever she visited the lake she would dispense with her ?rset8.?New York Herald.
