' y'mTH??K 0? ?p-c 7?/>/CS INTEREST TO THE PLANT \\ , Dairying in Dixie. There is a widespread opinion that the dairy industry cannot be made a , success in the South, that the proper | field for the industry is in the North f and West, but little by little we are learning that while there may be "no nan* fhititrc imrlnr tho Ciin" thfkfA flfP many old industries that find new homes, and here and there, like an oasis in the desert, some bold pioneer, backed by the courage of his convictions. has introduced some new field of enterprise in an old community. This is particularly true of the dairy industry, and though there have been many who have failed, there are more who have succeeded, and many an j acre that once knew only the tread of j the cotton planter and bis mule, now is J covered with grasses, and here the gentle cows find subsistence, and on ' many another field, corn and forage j crops have supplanted cotton, to the j improvement of the soil, and to the ' enhancement of the contents of the farmer's pocketbook. Among those who have achieved success in the South is one Mr. H. A. Barrows, of Monticelle. this State: coming here seven years ago from Illinois, and knowing nothing about Southern agriculture, and but a little about agriculture anywhere, the experiences of those first few years would have discouraged a less de- j termined man. As Mr. Barrows now k laughingly says, he was the "laugh* ing stock of the whole community;" he can afford Jo laugh now at the k recollection, but it was no joke in those days, and only proves the saying, "tlfat be who laughs last," etc.. for jthose who came to scoff then come now to gather v knowledge?it is again the old story of the hare and the tortoise. Those who 1 - had supposed there was nothing more to be learned have been distanced by 'j Jk the one who had the perseverance to burn the midnight oil in order to find out the cause of bis failure and how out success where an ordinary man would have given up in despair. ^ Mr. Barrows early saw the necessity of keeping livestock in order to pre serve the fertility of the soil, and realizing the possibilities that dairying afforded, he made a thorough study of the industry, all its brarehes. lie had a herd of high-grade Jerseys and Guernseys, consisting of about forty mileh cows and as many more young heifers. They furnish milk to supply the town of Monticello with a high grade product that cannot be excelled in quality. Iu addition, he is making ft- fnimr grade butter, that was scored by one of the best judges of butter in America, aud was marked ninety-eight points out of a possible *00. This butter goes to Thomasville, Jacksonville and other points to supply a critical olass of customers, but the only kick is from those who can't get it; every few days he is obliged to turn down orders from some one who has heard of it. But it is not alone in the products < of the dairy that he has distanced l others who are older in experience: for I In his cane srrun he ba< produced an * ? ? article tbat has boon highly commended by experts, and in fact by nil who have tasted it, and?but. as Mr. Kipling would say. "that is another story." Mr. Barrows raises all the roughage Tor his cows, buying only concentrated feeds like brewers' grains, brans and k cottonseed meal. Two large silos hold enough silage to last through the winter mouths. In the summer the pasture is supplemented with grern feeds and soiling crops. To visit his farm and look over his fields and his herds, to be regaled with a few of his jokes, to l meet his accomplished wife and fine ^ boys is worth a journey from a distanc?. I V . This is but a single instance of a H \ successful Southern dairyman, there C are many, but there is r wm for many more. The field is a broad one. and will grow even faster than the popnlation will increase; there is nothing that will create a demand for any H product like a product that is a little better than the average, and this Is particularly true of the dairy industry. There is no branch of agriculture tbat impoverishes the ?oll so little as dairying, provided the lertilizer is rejV turned to the land and not allowed to W go to waste around the burn. It furn^ ishes a steady income the year around. and wheu our friends en Wall Street are forcing cotton down to five cents, the dairy farmer sleeps just as sound, eats just as hearty and dresses just as well as when it is ton cents or more.? |^k The Stockman. >mcninery on mc r.um. |^B * The following from the Southern .

It is useless to .sow alfalfa |0j] unless the land has been thoroughly .n.. prepared. It will take a year at least AV;" to get land ready for alfalfa. Simply to', scratching over the surface of the ' ground and sowing seed, even when inoculation is followed, is not likely to .^..j bring satisfactory results. If the land is at all heavy in nature it should be ^Ql deeply broken to the depth of twelve * inches and then subsoiled. Subsoiling is best done in the fall. In order that ~|J(1 the laud may coutain an available sup- j, ply of plant food, it is well to grow ' \ peas on the land and plow them under ,-u* in the fall. A heavy application of juu phosphoric acid and muriate of potash J)p<, should be made to the pea crop, and ! lp.j lime may be applied after the peas are ;(jt plowed under, say at the rate of fifty rTM. _ 1\? r Dusnpis per acre, im* uiuc ^uuuiu uw , applied two or three weeks before; J)v the alfalfa is sown so as to avoid an ^ injury to the seed.

Seed the alfalfc at the rate of twenty pounds per acre and not later than the first of September. The ah falfa should be inoculated before plant- j T ing.

For ty-five. of these counties, in addition t< having this "Old State Law," have : provision for a special road tax. whici is on an average for State sixteen ant one-half cents on the ?100 propert; valuation and fifty-two cents on tin poll. The total amount of money spent 01 the public roads during the past yea was $40L3S2, including the mone: spent for permanent roads, repairing grading and all other purposes. Thi; mount seems surprisingly large whei ^ e consider the wretched condition o some of the roads in the State. How ever, one county alone (Mecklenburg spent more than S4.TOOO, and Guilfon County recently authorized an issue o $300,000 in bonds for road building am is spending several thousands of i each year. Thirty-six counties in the State an using convicts in working the publii roads, and the total average of convict; thus employed during the year was Sltf However, in no more than a dozei counties of the State is this convic work on the public roads done econom ically and satisfactorily. The best sys tem probably exists in Mecklenburj Coftnty, where about 100 convicts, ii two separate camps, are worked con stantly on the public roads. The aver age cost there of feeding, clothing am guarding the convicts and providing sleeping quarters, medical nttentioi and all other necessaries, average: twenty-three cents per day per convict These valuable results are obtainec through intelligent management am business-like methods. So far as we are able to determim the good roads question in North Caro Una is more alive than ever before, ant the Geological Survey is constantly re reiving requests from all sections o: the State for advice and practical as sistance in public road improvement Our good roads engineer, Mr. W. L Spoon, spends the greater part of hi: time in visiting the different counties of the State to assist the county an thorities in the practical questions ol road improvement, and this is dom without cost to the county for bis serv ices. The North Carolina Good Roads' As sociation has also recently done some effective educational work for gooi roads, and the formation of county or nini7?itinTic In mnct rwf thr* nil der tlie general State Association, hat stimulated tlie movement iu a larg< degree, and the indications are that tin good roads movement will continue it; steady and gradual growth during tin present year. Xo Other Side. The simple explanation of the steadj and rapid advance of the good roads cause is. as we have repeatedly said that the proof of its right to prevail i* absolutely convincing* wherever it h practically presented. There is notli ing to be said on the other side tr which a man thinks it worth while t( listen who has once driven a loaded ve hide over a road converted within lit? observation from a bad to a good con dition. For him the demonstration is complete, and he forthwith becomes ar apostle. Such is the universal and un broken experience.
