Our spring plowing has started
and every farmer should remember
that in plowing you will allow a
great deal of moisture to escape if
you are not careful. Before going
to dinner each <! > you should harrow
or drag all the land that you
have plowed in the morning and
the same thing at night as this is the
anly way to keep your moisture in
.he ground .
This arrowing destroyes the clods.
that will naturally fo.m and -also

POULTRY WEEK FOR
CHEROKEE COUNTY
Poultry has become one of the
leading profession- in Western North
Carolina and each day we have calls
for information on the better methods
r.iiii care of poultry.
I am sure that no fa: mo can spend
hi> .r her time mote i ro;'i ably wit!,
a few hens on every farm. A good
flock on each farm will bring in a
pay day each day in the year.
We are planning some schools for
this w?.rk and I hope that every farmer
and i.is wife will try to attend
one of these meetings some where ;n
the county next week.
Mr. C. F. Parrish of the Poultry Departmen,
Raleigh will be here and
we will meet the poultrymen at the
following times and plates:

The Cherokee Scout,
To the Farmers of ( herokee, and Clay
Counties:
Last week I advised you to use lint'
and clay peas on your land that was
making lesss than 20 bushels of corn
to the acre and I advise you to use
your own judgement at all times. A
lead front some one helps, hut if you
will watch the best farmer in your
section and take some of his advice.
It will pay you far better if you will
cooperate with him all you can, ??i
some others, as one farmer needs tin
help of another now far more than
he did ycats ago:
Some of you can remember
when a bulltongue was the only
plow to use. This plow has passed
into history and we find
better ways to work our land and
make more out of what we do.
I find it a gool policy to do what
I have a mind to do and the first
thought is always the strongest,
sometimes it costs me heavy to follow
this, but it pays very well as I improve
it front time to time, and in!
undertaking;and if I had not started
it I could not have made anything out
of it. Start something, stay with it
If it does not pay, start something
else. If you are waiting fox something
to turn up that is a sure thing.
09 chances out of a 100 some one
else is doing the very thing you arc
thinking of doing, and you will setit
too late to start.
If you have a credit, use it to the
limit, but above all things do not
abuse it. Credit well used is capital
you can never louse. If it takes ^xl!
you have to protect it do so and hold

' it above nil other thine -. If you will
! do this you will moke a success as a
farmer.
I am trying to got the farmers to
grow barley. Why? Ask your county
agent, he will tell you it is fine for
your hogs. The green feed will save
.1-5 of your corn crib, it will carry
them through the winter with very
little feed and is one of the best hog
feeds to be had.
Mr. Anderson was at my place
some time back, and looking at one
of my brood sows with a litter of
trigs, asked: "What do you feed that
brood sow?" I said "corn." Mr. Anderson
said something else. I pointed
to my barley field and said. "Sheruns
on that barley." He .-aid: "Tlui"
accounts for it."
My wife feeds seven ear of cor
tw.ee u day to the sow and 7 pig-.
Come ami look at them and see if
barley pays. 1 have some others that
get two ears a day and they run
the barley field. Look them over als ).
What will barley make after grazing
all winter? 1 am told as much
i as it would of corn. We will find
this out when the thrcshe comes, li
1 has paid me for all labor and the
[ seed with interest and still 1 have
the crop to gather. This land will
' he sow n in peas later, for the peas

ing a worker, but if you have nothing
else to do and want a job for fun
.r. it out on me and time will tell
the tale.

THE PARABLE OF THE FIVE
TALENTS
F- the kingdom of pntfitablc duirvlng
is likened to a farmer traveling!
to the feed store, who ceiled his cows
ind delivered to them his feed.
And to one he gave five measures.
1 o ; mi*.her two, and to another one:
.cry cow according t her several
\v.~. '.II g ability; and stt.iighlway took
his journey.
Then she that received the five
measures went and chewed her cud.
and traded with the same and let
down five gallons of milk into her
udder.
And likewise she that had received
two, she also let down two gallons.
But she that had received one went
and used the energy derived therefrom
to jump the fence into the winter
wheat, to kick in the barn door.1
and to lash our her tail in fury.
Along about milking time the
owner of these cows comcth with a
bucket and lead pencil and reckoneth
with these cows.
And so she that had received five
measures of feed poured five gallons
of rich milk into the pail, saying.
"Master, thou deliverest into my feed
though five measures: behold I have
furnished my body with heat and energy
and here are five golden galions."
Her master said unto her. ''Well
none, thou good and Faithful cow:
thou hast hern profitable with five
measures of feed, I will give thee all
thou canst profitably turn into milk
and make thou and thy daughters
queens of my barn: enter thou into,
the joy oOmy herd."
She also that had received two
measures came and said. *'Master
thou deliverest me two measures of
feed; behold, here are two gallons of
milk."
Her master said unto her. "Well
done, good and faithful cow, my pencil
tells me you have been profitable:
enter thou too. into the profits in my [
pocketbook" !

here are a few squirts of milk, and 1
kick in the bargain.*'
Her master answered and said un- 1

feed nut where 1 milk not: pi
"Thou ouyhtest therefore to realize <- '<
