Modern Methods That Are Helpful to Farmer, Fruit Grower and Stockman. Iiottuee as a Crop. j Lettuce is one of the oldest vege- j tables, having been grown for many f centuries, it is one ot tne crops or, the Northern truck farmer. Here In the South it is considered more of a delicacy than a staple crop. It Is not generally found in the farm gar den and is not grown by a majority of the truck farmers who market their crops locally, Of late years it is grown very ex- ' tensively during the winter in Flori da, North and South Carolina, for shipping to Northern markets. In central and southern Florida it can be grown in the fields without any protection, but in northern Florida . they protect it with common sheet ing when necessary. In North anil South Carolina it is sown in cold y frames so constructed that the crop can be cultivated with the hors-3. Practically all of this lettuce is shipped to the Northern cities. Very little lettuce is marketed dur ing the winter by the local gardeners around the Southern cities. In this they make a great mistake. For it can be sown in September, transplant ed to hot beds and marketed by Christmas. At this time of the year It brings a fancy price and is very much in demand, and there is. plenty of time to use these same hot beds without any additional preparation, for growing spring plants, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, egg plants, etc. In this way enough may be made to more than pay for the growing of both the lettuce and the plants. Even if the frames are not needed for the growing plants, the lettuce can be grown in frames at a handsome profit. As tomatoes can be had a great deal earlier if the plants -are trans f planted before setting out in the field, the plants may be grown in hotbeds during December and .transplanted Into the frames where the lettuce has been grown, thus getting double service from the frames. Lettuce sown during the late sum mer may be marketed before it is cold enough to kill it in the latitude of Atlanta. It can be sown during September and transplanted to cold frames where it will stand until it is warm enough for it to head, in the early spring. If it is to be forced so as to be marketable by Christmas it must be transplanted intcf hot beds that is beds prepared with an under layer of fresh manure. Lettuco plants for the early spring crop should be raised in hotbeds and transplanted as soon as. warm enough. Lettuce is very hardy and can be easily protected during winter with ordinal-' sheeting. The late spring crop should be sown in drills in the field. The lettuce plants should b one foot apart each way, both in the beds and in the field crops. The field crop should be cultivated with fthe wheel hoe and the'hand hoe. Rich soil, good seed, and frequent cultivation are the essentials for suc cessful lettuce growing. At least one thousand pounds per acre of commer cial fertilizer should bo used, and up to fifteen hundred would pay. Good lettuce .can not be grown on poor soil, and a rich mellow clay loam makes the be3t lettuce soil. The fertilizer should analyze six per cent, nitrogen, five per cent phos phoric acid and seven per cent, pot ash. Lettuce grown in the field should not be forced too fast, especi ally during hot weather. Wo ruined about a thousand heads this spring k. by forcing them too fast with nitrate of soda, causing them to go to seed without heading. On the local market lettuce is sold by the dozen heads, the price vary ing with size and demand. When shipped, it is sold by , the drum or barrel. B. H. IIuunicutt: in the Southern Cultivator. $100.00, a Month For Farm Hoy! I have stated on the platform many times within the past two years that it is possible for an intelligent, industrious young man to produce crop3 by his unaided labor to the value cf $12 00.00 per annum. More over, I have given it as my opinion that such a young man is not living up to his privilege if he do?s not do this well. I have gone a little fur ther than this and 'advised young women net to marry any man who 4;as not demonstrated his ability to measure up to this standard. Country boys and country girls are entitled to as good a living and to as many comforts as boys and girls who get their living from any other calling. liut it is a3 clear as the noon day sun that If the standard of production of the average farm laborer of the Southern States i3 to be tbe portion of these boys; and if they are to support families on the basis of about $200.00 per year, their comforts will be faw and their living hard. 'Take ail the farm laborers of the State of Iowa and they produce crops to the gross value of nearly 1000.00 each. There are many of rrcverb3 and Phrases. ' Not unacquainted with misfortune, I learn to Miccor the wretched. Vir- gij, now poor arc they that have no j patience! Shakespeare. j She is noblest being good Hobins-1 ton. I Societv is divided into two classes the fleecers and the fleeced Tal- lovrand. Agricultural Topics these 370,000 men and boys who Very much exceed the average ard produce crops equal to the 12 00 per annum or even more. The Georgia or South Carolina boy is as fully intelligent as the Iowa boy. It would be slander to say that the Southern boy is not as indus trious as his Northern cousin. Then what is .the trouble? Why not look into the matter and find out where the trouble is? One thing will be observed at once. About eighty per cent, of Georgia's entire farm produce consists of the one crop, cotton. Her live stock pro ducts amount to less than five per cent, of her total sale3. On the other hand Iowa does not confine herself to any one crop. The sale of live stock products of that State amounts to forty per cent, of her gross and to fifty per cent, of her net products. The system of farming practiced almost universally in the Southern States was inaugurated during the time of slavery. Cotton growing re quires the maximum of human la bor. Slavery furnished cheap labor and there was no great effort made to supplant human labor with that oi. the horse or machine. We are yet going along under the old system do ing work with human hands that ought to be done by horse3 and en gines. The result is that we only make about .14 a3 much clear money as our Northern friend3 who do use horses and engines. But can any great change be made in the present methods of growing cotton? Probably not; but we can grow other crops that will admit of a different system. Nor are we under any bond to continue to grow cot ton. Then why not look around for the better way? If the Iowa young man can make $100.00 per month following a diversified system of farming, why can not the Georgia or Alabama boy do the same thing? W. L. W., in the Southern Cultivator. Fertilizing Wheat. The advisability of using commer cial fertilizers on wheat is borne out by the following data obtained in ex periments made under the writer's direction, and further illustrate the importance of supplying soils with vegetable matter on which complete .fertilizers are used. On rather thin and on which cowpeas were plowed under and an application of nitrate of soda at the rate of seventy-five pounds and muriate of potash at the rate of thirty-seven and one-half pounds were applied the cost ot a bushel of . increase was twenty-two cents. On the same land treated in like manner an application of 150 pbunds of acid phosphate and thirty seven and one-half pounds of muriate of potash gave a bushel of increase at a cost of sixteen cents. In these two instances the increase from the use of fertilizers was between ten and eleven bushels per acre. Acid phosphate alone applied at the rate of 500 pounds per acre gave a bushel of increase at a cost of twenty-seven cents. We are of the opinion that practically the same increase would have been obtained from possibly half tho application, which would have reduced the cost of a bushel cf in crease quite materially. Where a complete fertilizer was used at the rate of 300 pounds per acre the cost of a bushel of increase was twenty seven cents. These figures are quoted to show that fertilizers properly com pounded and used on wheat will in crease the yield quite markedly and at a cost that is profitable to the farmer. Besides that, all the fer tilizer applied to the wheat crop is not used by it, and there is a residue left in the soil which will put it in better, condition for succeeding crops. Professor A. M. Soule, in Southern Farm Magazine, of Baltimore. Lettuce Culture. Lettuce seed should be sown foi raising plants to set out in Ledd and in fnies. As soon as the plants are large enough to be hnndh-d thosj intended to be forced for De cember market in frames should bs drawn from the bed3and be pricked out in rows four inches apart each way in the frames. The old so'.I in the frames should be removed j:nd new, sweet, friable soil be substi tuted. This should be made mod erately rich with stable manure and a good complete fertilizer. A later planting in the beds should be mads in November or December for the February or March markets. Give air freely to the frames so long as the weather is mild but In ready to close up whenever frost is indi cated. Cultivate frequently and eive further help with fertilizer contain ing nitrate of soda at intervals as thfl plants seem to require it. The n'.ants raised for outdoor planting in the spring should be just kept grow ing and mean:? should be at iUi!id to protect them from savere u father during tha winter. Southern Plantar.

Professor J. II. Connell, in an ad- ress, stated that there was a great future for the use of Cotton Seed Meal as a breadstuff. In comparing the nutritive value of cotton seed meal, he says: "We find that cotton seed meal contains thi'ce times ai much digestible protein as the high est grade of wheat flour or the best grade of wheat flour or the best breakfast food now on the market." "In my experiencewith cotton seed meal a3 a bread stuff, no disappoint ment has ever been encountered." In telling about the making of bread, cakes, etc., Prof. Connell says that the cotton seed meal must not be used by itself as it is too rich in protein and when baked would resem ble cheese. He goes on to say: "A combination of cotton seed meal with other recognized breadstuff's, will greatly enrich the flours and meals now in use, while at the same time decreasing their cost to the consum ing public. " In Ttfxas the use of cotton seed meal as a breadstuff is a fixed and eetablished fact and it is gaining fav or more and more every day. Some delightful bread, muffins, cakc3, doughnuts and other things of the kind are being made daily with .the use of cotton seed meal. n m IP. Feel billons! Gol a splitting headache!
