r Our Farm Department | Devoted to the Interest of Those Who W Till the Soil S f CONDUCTED BY J. M. BEATY | ^ 5 ? ? Cutting and Curinq Soy Brans. Th^ soy beau should be cut fu forage an soon as tbe bottom beans begiu to turn yello*. At this stage the pods will be nearly grown and your beans must not be cut later than this as the pods will crack open and the beunr shatter out if cut too late. Thomas A. Williams, assistant agrostologist at Washington, says considering palatability and digestibility, as well as chemical conipostiou. that prob ably the best forage will be ob tained by cutting just as soon as the pods are forming. Hut if cut at this stage you do not have any grain, so I usually wait until the bottom beans begin to turn yellow; but it will not do to wait any longer, as they will shed very quickie. A fifteen fingered cradle is a very good thing to cut with but u dump or piling reaper is the best thing 1 have found. 1 cut one or two rows, which ever con ditions suits best. I had rather cut on a cloudy than a fair day but I have to cut when my beans get ready, so I cut anytime when there is not water on them. When I start to cutting 1 put three or four hands to picking up and shocking, letting each one get an arm full at the same time and all putting the tops of the beans together as they stand them down on the ground, tak ing pains to place them together nicely, and as they put them on the ground bear the butts in but not enough so but what you will leave a hole in the middle of your shock large enough for a small hen's nest. A little practice and you can make the shocks as fast as you can pick the beans up and stand them down. Shock them before the leaves wilt if possible. When you get them shocked your work is done; you need not put any topping on them. The leaves will wilt down and make a water tight cover. Let them stand until they are thoroughly cured out, then stack or house. I have let them stay ia the shocks until the out side leaves would be weather beaten off, then on the inside they would be nice, green and sweet. Do not take them up until thoroughly cured if you do they will mould. When 1 stack, 1 put them them two lengths around the pole with the but s out. A long handle pitchfork is a very good thing to throw them up with. It is better to top your 1 stack with fodder, wheat straw i or hay for when the stack stands as much as a year they will dam age on top. I make the platform of my | stacks high enough so eats can get under them to keep rats and mice from destroying them. Now what feed crop can you save and house so easily and quickly considering the amount of feed as this? Then no forage that I have tried is as good. Philip Lee, Four Oaks, N. 0.

Selma Drug Co., A.H. ltovett. Farmers Becoming Independent. News from all sectiuns of the state shows that the cotton planters held back more cotton of last season's crop than ever before. I'nion county farmers, we are told, have sold over four thousand bales since July 4th. In I'itt county there were given in by tax listers eleven huudred bales against three hundred the year before. The Scottish Chief states that cotton is coming in at a rapid rate; that there were nearly one hundred bales sold in Mux ton from wagons the week liefore and that much more than double that amount was expec ted the coming week. Very lit 'le of this cotton last mentioned was of the new crop. It was principally old cotton which the farmers had refused to sell last spring for six and seven cents a pound and for which they are now getting over ten cents. From other sections come similar reports. The fact that the farmers were able to hold back so much cot ton shows conclusively that they are, as a class, in better financial condition than they have been for a long time. This is the first year in many that they have been able to extend the cotton market through the entire year. Heretofore the pressing demands of landlords and creditors have forced them to put their cotton on the market as fast as they could have it picked and ginned. They were at the mercy of the men to whom they owed money as rent or for supplies. The past year many of them became inde pendent of these creditors. If they will be judicious and econo mical for the next year or so they will become still more inde pendent and will soon be able to make the receipts of one crop pay the expenses of raising the next, instead of, as in the past, mortgaging the entire crop be fore it is planted and feeling at the end of the year that they have been fortunate if they have made enough to satisfy the de mauds of landlords and furnish ers of supplies and can start the next crop without carrying over s debt from the last year and making it an additional lien on the crop to be raised. When the i farmers can tfms become inde pendent they will soon begin to add each year to their savings. This will result in fewer tenant farmers and more owners of small profitable farms.?Wil mington Messenger. TO CUBE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE TABLETS.

Value of Cotton Seed The price for cotton seed is fix ed largely by the current price of the oil, so far as the oil mills are concerned. The mill people re gard the oil in the seed as the main by-product, because the price of the oil crushed from a ton of seed is nearly twice as great as the price paid for the meal, and nearly four times the value of the hulls, and seven times as valuable as the amount of lint secured. Hence we find that the price of the seed as fixed by the mills is regulated by the price of oil. MANUHIAL VALUE OK SEED. Let us look for a moment at the value of the actual plant food in 66 bushels, or one ton, of cotton seed and see if the farmer can afford, from a fertiliz ing standpoint, to part with his seed at even $12 per ton. We find that a ton of cotton seed contains 02 pounds of nitrogen, 26 pounds of phosphoric acid and 24 pounds of potash. These fertilizing ingredients are worth at the lowest estimate $12 60. That is what they would cost at wholesale spot cash prices in commercial fertilizers. In addi tion to the actual plant food as named, cotton seed contains a large amount of organic vegeta ble matter which, when it rots, will make humus and materially add to the natural fertility of soil. All soil is made from decay ing vegetable or animal matter, and it is for that reason that commercial fertilizers will not enrich the soil. Now suppose we add $2.56 additional to the ton to cover the value of the orgauic matter iu the ton and ?1 more for hauling and delivering to the mill?we find very clearly that we cannot afford to sell a ton of cotton need for less than ?10 per ton without sustaining an actual loss, and will then receive no | (irottt. ADd yet we have not i taken into account the value of the oil to the mill, which should I tie considered. No farmer, then, can afford to part with a ton of seed for less thau $16 per ton, I because its tuanurial value at j home is fully worth $16. Then if the mills are not willing to, pay at least $1(5 per ton or 25 cents tier bushel, then keep the seed at home. KXCIIA.NOINO SKEIi FOR MEAL. The most economical and profitable method of handling seed with the mills is on a basis of exchange. That is, exchange the seed for so much meal, (rive a ton of seed for not less than 1,(500 to 1,800 pounds ( f good, cleau meal. Don't take dark meal, showing a heavy filler of hulls ground in with the meal, but make the mill owners agree iu writing to furnish you clean, bright meal. With the meal you cau then prepare to make your guano at home, if you have too much meal, a part of it cau be easily sold and the money re ceived invested in acid phosphate and potash to make up your home mixture. My earnest desire now is to call your attention to the value of your cotton seed as a fertili zer, and to the further fact that if the seed are held back from ttie market tbey will command high er prices and will enable the farmers to make better and more satisfactory exchanges for meal. I want to also impress upon your minds a's fully as I can that the solution of high-priced low grade guanos, iu which hun dreds of pounds of artifieiil tillers are used that are worth less, lies in the proper handling of the cotton seed. Exchange the seed for meal, and buy the right quantities of acid phos phate and potash, and make your own guano at home. With out going into the value of a ton of seed to the mills at this time, suffice it to say that $16 per ton is the lowest figure a farmer can afford to take for his seed, and if be wants a pro t, then not less than $18 to $20 per ton. When the mills open the mar ket at bids from $10 to $12 per ton, simply refuse to accept the offer and hold for better prices. If the mills refuse to pay more, then let the mills close down and let the seed go back to enrich the land where nature intended for them to go. It is time the farmers were waking up on the sale of their products and hav ing a voice in the price at which they are sold in the markets of the country.?Harvie Jordan. Good advice to women.

A Sad Coincidence By one of those unexplainable concidences, an Observer report er got bold of a piece of news day before yesterday in regard tojdivorce proceedings instituted by our esteemed townsman, S. A. Phillips, Esq., against his young wife with whom he has not lived in 18 months, when, on the very same day at Durn, the young woman in question was buried, having died the day be fore. Thus what was sought at the hands of an earthly court, was, in the twinkling of an eye, enacted by the great Spiritual court,?Fayetteville Observer 8th.

The Coroner's Jury Find that Thos. H. Nail Came to His Death From Blows by the Four Asylum Attendants As a result of an autopsy held on the body of Thos. H. Nail and a ft nal taking of the testimony before the jury which for several days has been investigating the ease, J C. King, L. R. High, I lack Peel and W. F. Durham, attendants at the Statu Hos 1 pital for the insane are in Wake i county jail, charged with having i beateu to death a patient under {their charge who was attempt ing to make his escape. The arrest of the four men was made about seven o'clock at 'he hospital by deputy Sheritte Wal ters and Stell. The men made no resistance and the officers state seemed surprised that a warrant should have been issued against them. They would not talk of the case in anv aspect but quietly accompanied the of ficers to Raleigh and later sum moned S. (f. Ryan. Esq., to con j fer with them as their defense. The verdict and warrant of the {jury operates as a commitment without bail and the only course open to the defendants before they answer to the charge at the September term of court is to petition in habeas corpus pro ceedings. It is yet too early to state what course they may be expected to take. The body which had been pre viously exhumed near Pittsbo o had been brought to Raleigh and j the formal post-mortemconduc J ed here yesterday. The warrant, which incorpora tes the verdict of the jury, was given to sheriff at about six o'clock in the afternoon and im mediate steps were taken to have it served. The defendants are all young men, J. C. King being a son of John L. King, living near Rogers store, in Oak Grove township; W. F. Durham, a son ol I. K. Durham, of St. Mary's Town ship; Jack Peele, residence in Goldsboro and L. R. High, formerly of Wilson.?News and Observer.
