Twelie Things to do on the Farm This
Month.
(1) Soe that tbe seed bed for
all crops is not merely well brok
en but thoroughly pulverized by
harrowing and disking. An ounce
of preparation may be worth a
pound of cultivation.
(2) Get ready with weeders
and harrows to kill the grass be
fore it comes up. Don't be afraid
of hurting the stand. This will
not happen.
(3) Place orders for all im
proved plows, harrows, weeders,
cultivators, and other labor-saving
tools and maohinery. Get
ready to make your crop with
cheap horse labor instead of ex
pensive hand labor.
(4) Don't waste time and
sweat on scrub seed or scrub stock
this year. Improved varieties
will pay as well with field crops
as with garden crops.
(5) Get ready to share with
the Western farmer his golden
flood of profits in raising hcgs
and cattle. First of all, get an
imyroved breed, and then ar
range to feed economically, With
proper pasture crops both pork
and beef can be made more cheap
ly in the South than in the West.
(6) Of the over $50,000,000
spaat in the South for fertilizers
eaoh year at least $10,000,000 is
waited through ignorance pf crop
needs and soil needs. Try to stop
your part of this colossal loss.
(7) Join in the great corn
raising revival now sweeping over
the South. The biggest corn
crops the world has known have
been made in the South, and we
are just waking up to the fact
that Dixie can beat the Corn Belt
itself raising this kind of cereals.
(8) Don't forget the garden,
a nd don't make your wife o all
the"work in it. Remember, veg
etables are cheaper than meat and
more healthful.
(9) We cannot have good fruit
now without spraying. A good
spray pump will often pay for it'
self the first year, in the orchard
and potato patch.
(10) Drag the roads after ev
ery rain. The split-log drag is
the cheapest good roads maker
ever invented.
(11) Paint the farm-house and
whitewash the outbuildings that
you do not care to paint. It will
pay you simply in your increased
sense of pride and dignity.
(12) Get your boy to join the
Boys' Corn Club movement with
an acre of corn, and give your
girl a flock of pure bred chickens.
And be sure to let each one have
the money he or she makes from
thu allottment. Raleigh (N. C.)

Set Ready to flant Corn.
"XT . M
jnow tne farmer wno was wise
enough to get crimson clover
on his land to be planted in
corn can afford to wait till it
is fairly mature before turniDg it
down. In all parts of the South
we have plenty of time to make a
crop of corn after the clever has
done all that it can for ue, and
with the exception of the lower
South, March corn planted is sel
dom the best. The best kind of
corn I noticed last year was made
after tbe clover was entirely dead.
If you are so unfortunate as
not to have the clover on the
land you propose to plant iu corn
the sooner you get the land deep
ly plowed the better. Spring is
not the time for subsoiling, even
on land where subsoiling is need
ed, for the surface may be in
good condition for plowing while
the subsoil will be in such a con
dition that the subsoiler will
merely plaster it.
Good deep breaking and
thorough catting up with a cuta
way is needed before planting,
for you are going to work the crop
shallow from the siart. Some
advise deep cultivation in the
ear'y Btage of the corn crop.

with shallow work from the start,
I do not like it. Prof W. F.

i Kill Crass Before It Conies tp.
I plant corn and cotton level,
or nearly so. My soil is clay.
If a heavy rain falls, before plants
come up I run over with harrow,
and cross with weeder. This will
break crust all over t he ground,
destroy any grass cr weed seeds
that may be sprouted and prevent
'evaporation. If no rain falls,
weeder alone is run four or five
days after planting, and I keep
this up every few days until
plants are la r; enough to thin.
This part of ilie work is looked
after close U . as it may mean the
savins cf much labor later on.
If the gr us once gets a start, the
harrow and weeder are no good
then. Ji W. Broom, in Ral

"Do you know the prettiest

asked one of the county agents at
a meeting of Southern demonstra

he answered bis own question in
this way: "It was a flock of 250
or 300 beautiful Brown Leghorn
hens, all alike, which came run
ning to their owner at her call
when I visited her --poultry farm
the other day. This youDg wo

High Prices.
It seems undisputed that cer

arbitrarily raised the price on
their own products, using the high
tariff as a pertcxt. It is these
parties that need to be rebuked

without. Many and many a

failure if they bought only those
things which they could not do
without. Christian IuBtructor,
If there is any one man who
makes us good and. tired it is the
fellow who will not improve hie
methods of farming lest there
should be an "ovjr-production"
of farm products. Over-produc
tion indeed, with Southern chil
dren living on corn bread, Wes

when they should have vegetables

How UucU Fertilizer Should We Use.
Perhaps, on average lands, from
200 pounds to 400 pounds of com
mercial fertilizers under corn,
and from 400 to 600 pounds un
der cotton is the safest for the
general farmer, but some find it
profitable to use even more. For
special crops, yielding large gross
money returns p9r acre, larger
quantities" are generally profita
ble, in some instances as larger
as from 1,000 pounds to 8,000 !
quantities should only be used j
when experience or tests show
that they pay. Raleigh (N. C.)

he South is afflicted with and harbors that most dreaded treacherous

average Southerner is a sufferer of this health destroying parasite
which destroys the red bloood cells producing an impoverished con
dition of the blood; characterized by extreme pallor, general debility,
weakness, loss of vigor, lack of ambition, and general undermining
of vitality. The climate and atmospheric conditions destroy the
vitality. Let him get over it. Get rid of it. Get well, and he is
good physically as the best American can boast. If there is health
of the slightest degree in your system, "WAKE IT UP1 CALL IT
FORTH. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! MAN, WOMAN OR

upon the wisdom of your Maker. Nature intends all humanity to
enjoy a-full measure of health and vigor. If you do not the fault is
