One of the problems for the Farni-
errs' Union to solve is the "dumper”
that is the man who, either from
choice or necessity, sells his crop as
soon as it is made, or as soon as he
can put it on the market. The ten-
dency of this is to depress the price,
and the object is to reduce the num-
bers of the tribe of "dumpers.”
The Farmers’ Union of Texas, at
tbe last annual meeting, adopted a
resolution demanding that the State
use some of its convict labor in the
manufacture of cotton bagging.
Something similar to this has been
done In Kansas In the manufacture
of twine, and It has proved a great
success. ...

L With ordinary handling, skim
milk works beet with suckling sows
and young hogs. Skim milk has the
growing rather than the fattening
food qualities and therefore better
for making the frame rather than
fattening the hog. With proper
skill, however, both can be accom-
plished with it. To do this, how-
ever, the feeder must be thoroughly
posted, and that is why I advise con-
siderable study on the subject.

One of the moat serious mistakes

spring letter, has been On a very
small seals.
From seven aeres of ordinary hill
land I gathered nearly 7,000 pounds
of seed cotton, or four good balet, I
while ton and twelve-aere fields In
my neighborhood produced hut
. * four bales.
From five acres of corn I gathered
over 100 bushels. Most fields of
ten end twelve acres Hr the same
neighborhood produced very little
’ more than my five-acre crop. It is
not my intention to disparage any
one’s results or to appear egotistical,
but if possible to show some strug-
gling brother like myself the nonsen-
sical idea pf deop cultivation.
My entire crop this year, includ-
ing patches of all kinds, will not ex-
ceed fifteen acres. The man that'
worked the same land last year, I
am told, made two bales of cotton
4nd about thirty bushels of corn.
For the last five or ten years the
J beat land has been given up to sap-
lings, briers and weeds. I worked
all winter, when not in the school
room, clearing this off, and where
the finest briers grew I made the
best corn.
My shallow cultivation was derid-
ed and a great source of amusement
all the -year. My wide rows were
r——— - ‘ - an<* many
direful prophetic reiharks did the
poor little crop outlive.
The harrow was my chief Imple-
ment ot cultivation, which was tbe
crowning joke of all. But the way *
that cotton and corn put on and ma-
tured fruit! The fun >all ceased
when the fruit began to appear and
the bolls were noticed to be larger
thui in other fields.
1 F do not know whether the result
of this erbp will be attributed to
“providence"—as one of my former
crops was—or not, but I do know
that I have never seen a erpp of the
same acreage and of the same land
in fertility, yield as much as this one
has.
•Now, how can this be? Simply
because farmers of this section take
turning plows, for. instance, and put
them down in the middle, turning
soil and roots up around the stalks,
cutting those they do not turn up;
again, they break their lands less
than two Inches and cultivate deep-
er, if .possible, causing the moisture
to evaporate at once.
This kind of' cultivating I call
ditching cotton and corn. And
again, they leaves planes too thick;
leaving as many as three stalks,
eight inches apart, in a place, which,
spindles uj> producing about three
bojis per stalk.
A good rain has. saved many a
corn crop after thia ditching process. -
I saw, this last June, a beautiful
field of corn twist up resembling
shoe strings; the spiral blade point-
ing heavenward in their meek sup-
plication for rain. The owner
