VELVET BEANS.
When mentioning this crop as one
of the forage crops which can he suc
cessfully grown in the South, we re
marked that it was, in our opinion,
better fitted to he grown as a soil-improving
crop than for feed, as it is
such a rampant grower that it is ex
ceedingly difficult to cut and harvest.
In confirmation of this, we observe
that the crop was grown at the North
Carolina Test Farm at Tarboro last
year, and turned down as a prepara
tion for a corn crop. The result was
that the plot so treated produced the
heaviest yield of corn and stover of all
the plots tested. The yield of corn on
this plot was 36.50 bushels per acre,
and of stover 2,280 lbs. The next best
yield was on a plot on which a com
plete fertilizer had been applied fol
lowing a dressing of lime in 1900. On
this plot, the yield was 25.40 bushels
per acre, and 1,800 lbs. of stover. The
next highest yield was made on a plot
on which. Soy beans had been turned
down. This plot made a yield of- 24.40
bushels per acre, and 2,200 lbs. of
stover. The value of the increased
yield on the Velvet bean plot, over the
cost of fertilizer, taking the value of
corn at 50 cent3 per bushel and of
stover at $8 per ton, was $11.54, which
was nearly five times more than the
value of the increased yield on any
other plot. This great value as a fer
tilizer comes largely from the fact of
the wonderful power of the plant to
gather and store nitrogen from the at
mosphere. Dr. Stubbs told us some
time ago that he had seen nitrogen
nodules on the roots of Velvet beans
nearly as large as pigeon eggs. Of
course the great mass of humus pro
ducing matter provided by the plant
has also considerable influence. June

A MISAPPREHENSION.
Occasionally somebody breaks the
silence by sneering at science as ap
plied to farming, and declaring that
common sense, experience and work
are all any farmer needs. Men had
been cultivating the soil by common
sense and main strength for many
thousands of years before science was
brought to bear upon the subject, and
what was the result? The best plow
was the "Gary" with an iron point and
land side, and a wooden mould-board,
with which the land was broken and
the crop cultivated. The grain was
cut with a scythe and threshed with
flails or trodden out by horses or cat
tle, just as the Egyptians did 4,000
years before. The best harrows were
cut from a forked tree, and had wood
en pegs for teeth. Cotton was picked
from the seed by hand at the rate of a
pound and a-quarter in ten hours.
Thousands of acres were planted in
grapes in New York and the New Eng
land States, and were abandoned be
cause the fruit all rotted on the vines.
It was thus also in Europe until
science developed the fact that a mix
ture of bluestone, lime and water
would prevent these diseases. It was
already known that bluestone would
destroy the spores of fungi, but it was
not known that these diseases of the
grape were fungus diseases until
science demonstrated their true char
acter and indicated the remedy. That
section now ships train loads of
grapes to all parts of the country.
Fifty years ago it required an average
of 32 minutes labor of a man to pro
duce a bushel of wheat. Now, by the
use of scientific tools and methods
only 2.2 minutes are required. Then
cotton seed was a waste product.
Science has made the cotton seed crop
worth $32,000,000 to the farmers of the
South. The plain meat and bread and
potatoes, the almost universal diet of
American farmers fifty years ago are
now made into several hundred choice
foods, preserved indefinitely by purely
scientific processes unknown two gen
erations ago. The labor-saving im
plements that enable the farmer of
today to grow three times as much as
his father did, are constructed on
scientific principles or they would not
do the work. There is no class of
people no industry that has received
so much benefit from applied science
as farmers and farming. Farm and

Texas has had some rain recently,
but the corn crop, it is said, will be a
failure.

Live Stock and Dairy.
DAIBT EABMIHG IN B0KTH CAROLINA
Prize Ziiay by Hiu Xnla Dixon, Witter
Coune, Worth Carolina A. & M.
College.
It is the purpose of this paper to
present for the consideration of the
farming constituency of North Caro
lina one branch of agricultural work,
which offers large returns, both in
money and soil improvement, viz, dairy
farming.
It is nature's plan that the vegetable
and animal worlds be always interde
pendent. "They rise or fall together."
And this very fact demonstrates the
necessity of live stock in the restora
tion of our depleted soil. It is not for
us to say that any branch of live stock
can not be kept with profit within our
borders, but only to emphasize dairy
farming as a work which combines
both immediate and future returns.
OUR NATURAL ADVANTAGES
Our diversity of climate and many
types of soil insure the successful
growing of a variety of feeding stuffs.
As far as these things go, we have
the favorable conditions of the most
successful dairying countries of the
world, of Switzerlands mountains,
Italy's plains and Holland's lowlands.
The choicest rations, of grains,
grasses, legumes and roots can be
grown right here, and our comparative
freedom from drought and storms and
pestilence makes North Carolina al
ways sure of plenty.
Our climate, so mild as to require
little expense in the way of providing
shelter from storm and sun, the adap
tability of our soil to the growth of
almost endless variety of forage, com
bined with cheap labor, places the cost
of dairy farming at low figures. If to
these favorable conditions were added
rational feeding, the one great neces
sity to profitable dairying in so many
places, the cost might be reduced to
a minimum, making it possible for us
to compete in this industry with any
country. If not in North Carolina,
the home of diversified agriculture,
and especially of the cow-pea and cot
ton-seed meal, the great protein feed
ers and sources of beef and butter and
cheese, dairying can not be practiced
with profit, surely it must be a close
business elsewhere. If countries not
so favored can meet their home de
mand, and contribute to the world's
supply and make money, certainly the
Old North State can do as much.
MORE AND BETTER CATTLE NEEDED
Thus far we have on our farms only
a scanty scattering of scrub cattle and
a smaller number of grades. A few
pure-breds have been lately introduced,
but these can hardly be said to have
passed the experimental stage. The
grades have been highly satisfactory
over the scrubs and there is every rea
son to believe that pure-breds may be
kept here with increase of profit over
the grades. But profit is the first con
sideration; after that is sure, the in
crease. Statistics show that there has
been a steady gain in number of our
cattle during the past decade. In 1900
we had two hundred and forty-three
thousand two hundred and nienty-
eight milch cows, as compared with
two hundred and twenty-three thou
sand four hundred and sixteen in 1S90.
It is gratifying to note this increase
of live stock, of milch cows in par
ticular, but still the shortage is enor-
mous. w ltn a population ot one mil
lion eight hundred and ninety-three
thousand eight hundred and ten in the
year 1900, North Carolina averaged
one milch cow to every eight persons,
instead of having as she needed, one
cow to every four persons. In conse
quence of this shortage there is for the
stock men of our State an almost un
trodden field to occupy, and for the
man who can breed or select dairy or
beef herds with intelligence there are
few occupations more remunerative.
"WHAT OUR SMALL TOWNS NEED.
North Carolina seems destined to
include in her list numerous small
towns and but few cities. From the
fact that in these towns a large per
centage of homes bordering streets
have in the rear gardens and barns,
guaranteeing the support of the one
great family necessity, a milch cow,
it is probable that the sale of milk
in our State may never be compara
tively great; still there is, in conse
quence of our ever-increasing town
population, a growing need to be sup
plied, and from our cities, though few,
a steady demand. For the vender of
good, clean, honest milk there will al
ways be dimes in the pockets of our
j urban population. s
BUTTER AND CHEESE
Probably, also, because of the ex
pense of transportation we never can
compete in the milk trade of our large
American cities. Nevertheless, there
remain two other dairy products, but
ter and cheese, for which there is an
enormous demand at home and abroad,
the excess of which over home con
sumption can be conveniently put up
on the world's market. Of the im
mense annual total of butter con
sumed in North Carolina by far the
greater part is shipped in from other
States, and of the thousands of pounds
of cheese bought, not ten per cent is
manufactured at home. Besides this,
not les3 than half "a hundred agents
traverse our State in. the interest of
butter substitutes,, inducing our peo
ple to buy at smaller cost what is rep
resented to be as good as butter." My
brethren, these things ought not so to
be. So much the more to our dis
credit when we have every advantage
for production, such that were a Chi
nese wall biult around our State cut
ting us off entirely from the world's
supply, we still might feast on the
products of the dairy forever and for
ever. We believe that if our people knew
how to take hold of this work they
would do it ; and they can know if they
will.
DAIRY EDUCATION.
Within the limits of our capital city
stands the Agricultural and Mechani
cal College, the property of the State.
Its faculty list includes men who are
consecrated to the idea of industrial
development. In the Department of
Agriculture are instructors who are
familiar with the details of farming
from actual subject, but not, as preju
dice has so often charged, simply book
farmers. This Department offers
three different courses a four-year,
which equips broadly, a two-year edu
cating in general principles and appli
cation, but not so much in detail, and
a ten-weeks course beginning in Jan
uary of each year, and arranged espe
cially for those who by reason of age
or home surroundings or finances can
not remain longer, and which may nat
urally be expected to reach a far great
er number of our people than the other
two. Suffice it to say that the promi
nence given in the short course to the
study of dairy farming augurs well
for our future in that industry.
TBE KIND OF INSTRUCTION GIVEN.
An outline of the instruction bear
ing direct! upon that subject may not
De out oi piace m mis paper son im
provement, cattle-raising and buttei'
making. Under soil improvement lectures are
given in regard to different types of
soil, physiology of plant life, the
proper rotation of food crops in con
nection with renovating crops, com
position of commercial fertilizers and
the intelligent use of them, the value
and care of refuse animal products
and their application to the land,
proper drainage and preparation of
soil, the cultivation, harvesting and
profitable disposition of various crops,
and the use of labor-saving machinery
employed throughout.
In connection with cattle-raising,
different breeds are discussed, from
the distinct dairy type to the opposite
or beef type. There is instruction as
td keeping up and improving herds,
both by breeding and selection, and in
stock judging and veterinary science.
Lessons in rational feeding, explain
ing the physical need of animals for
various purposes, functions of food in
body, digestibility of various feeding
stuffs, dry and succulent, their rela
tive food values and proper combina
tions, the comparative cost and suc
cess of dry, soiling and silo-feeding,
and the management of cattle in gen
eral. PRACTICAL DAIRY TRAINING.
The subject of butter-making in
cludes the study of the composition
of milk, its value as a food, and the
care which should be given it' as such,
practical work in the use of cream
separators, and Babcock test for but
terfat, in determining acidity of
cream, churning, working and finish
ing off butter, care of utensils and de
tails of dairy work generally.
Instruction is given also in method
of keeping records of expenses and
products of cows, so that the farmer
may weed out of herd the unprofitable
individuals and carry on his work ac
cording to business principles, instead
of guess-work, upon which he has de
pended for such a long time and with
such poor results.
Factory systems of manufacturing
butter are considered and advocated
as a means of providing a better fin
ished product at smaller cost, and re
lieving the Overburdened farmers
wives of an immense amount of drud
gery. CONCLUSION.
With our most favorable natural
conditions and thrifty manhood, the
lively demand for dairy products and
by-products and ample transportation
facilities therefor, the encouragement
given the live-stock v industry by our
State in fairs and schools, our nucleus
of laws on the subject and our body
of legislators, men of our own choos
ing, waiting to do our bidding, to pass
any measure we ask for the protection
of the home industry, there seems to
be no real obstacle in the way of the
highest development of dairy farming
in North Carolina.
A great harvest waits for somebody
and unless the people of our own State
soon take up the work, alien hands will
come in and bear away the sheaves.
HELPING OUT THE SUMMER PASTURES
Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
The success of summer dairying de
pends upon the pasture first, and then
on the way the pasture is helped out
in the way of providing additional
summer food. We have passed the
age of dairying where a progressive
farmer depends entirely upon a pas
ture field, turning his cows loose there
all summer, and letting them scurry
for a living. Such cows live in clover
the first half of the 6ummer, and near
ly starve during the rest of the season.
They grow lean and weak, and their
milk supply gets smaller and thinner
every week, and by the time fall and
winter comes they are pretty speci-
mens. A iarmer once told tne writer
that he had tried summer dairying and
winter dairying, and there was money
in neither. Upon investigation it was
found that his system was to starve the
cows in summer for winter dairying,
and vice versa for summer dairying.
The results was the animals never came
up to the mark because it took them
half the season to recover from the
starvation process.
Whether you intend to try winter
dairying or depend simply upon sum
mer dairying, it is necessary to have
good pasture through the summer, and
in the late summer and autumn it is
necessary to help the pasture out. This
is simpler than many imagine. Some
times it simply means fencing off a
portion of the field so the grass has a
chance to grow while the cows are
feeding on the other part. Constant
daily cropping in hot, dry weather
kills the grass and keeps the plants
from ever getting any headway. If
the pasture field is sufficiently large,
fence part of it off in August, and in
this way keep it green and healthful.
Also be sure that the weeds and briers
are kept cut down. Do not let any of
these go to seed. Their spread will
ruin a pasture lot quicker than any
thing. The cows do not disturb the
weeds and briers, and consequently
they have the opportunity to grow and
thrive while the grass has not. At
least give the latter a fair chance in
the race.
Help the pasture out with ensilage
and corn stover crops. Do not be
sparing with these even in summer.
They may save a good deal for the
late fall pasture, which is oftentimes
more valuable to the dairyman than
the early spring and summer grass. A
little system like this will go a long
way toward keeping up the quality and
supply of milk and cream, and at the
same time preserving the health of
the animals for the fall and winter
work.
