FEED FARMING.
A'Fetf Rnndom Notes on the Subject
In the greater portion of the State
the l.iltl mins have boon quite favor
able to planting a crop on the land
from which small grain lias been liar-
vested. A good crop of cither sorghum
or German millet may frequently be
made in this way and the seeding of a
heavy crop of weeds prevented
Those who are intending to sow
either Alfala or Johnson grass should
begin to prepnre for it though they
need not be sown until August or even
the first week in Septempcr but if the
land on which they are to be sown is
fold it should be plowed soon and kept
in condition by occasional harrowing.
In will then be in prune condition
when the time and opportunity arrives
for sowing the seed. The time for
sowing will be anytime in August or
the tlrst of September and the oppor-
tunity whenever there is sufficient
moisture in the ground to cause the
seed to germinate or if possible just
1x5 fore a good rain.

Don't neglect the forage. We sel-
dom have two such winters as last win-
ter in succession arid it is more than
likely that feed will be needed before
there is another opportunity to raise
it. Save and carefully protect all that
you can this year. Tjtike care of the
straw stack see that it is well topped
out after the thresher leaves. Rake
the chaff that you did not get into the
stack up into as close a pile as possible
rake down the sides of the straw stack
and stack on the top of it ; in this way
it will be protected and the fouls can
work it out by degrees as needed. It
will last them all winter with very lit-
tle if any other feed.
Coal Ashes.
Your last issue contained an article
on coal ashes and having had consid-
erable experience in their use. I give
you a few additional items. Accord-
ing to Dr. Yoakum and all other
authorities these ashes are of little
value. I thought so too until facts
convinced me to the contrary and
een now I am at a loss to explain
what plant food they furnish or how
thev benefit crops. The Gulf Colora-
do and Santa Fe railroad established a
pump on the edge of my orchard and
the first year afterward I noticed that
all around the pump house where the
coal ashes had been thrown the grass
was of a deeper green and especially
during a drouth continued to grow-
right along while that not dressed was
withered and brown. Acting on this
1 applied a large pile broadcast to
2oo Le Conte pear trees and plowed
them in. '1 hat was six yeats ago and
the difference between those trees and
the balance of the orchard is remark-
able. Though only one year older
these 200 are fully twice as large as
those not dressed and some of these
trees bore five bushels of pears last
season and have a large crop the
present year. I have also applied
these ashes to flowers and vegetables
and always with marked benefit. 1
never take a ride on the cars that I
do not look out at the stations to see
'whether the grass shows the same re-
sults as at Hitchcock and last season
I noticed occasion illy all the way to
New York and in no instance did I
fail to see a marked difference in size
and color wherever the ashes or coal
dust had been thrown. Let any one
observe at a railroad station and he
will see the .same. If a heavy dress-
ing s4p!owed in the ground it always
remains light and the benefit Hvill be
seeri foryears.11. M. Strihgfejlow in

Wheat Broadcast and Drilled.
Your request for notes regarding
the comparatn e yield of wheat sown
broadcast as compared with drilled
wheat should bring out communica-
tions giving experience which will be
of great value to your readers who'
are engaged in the growing of small
grain. " '
Years ago the writer gave tins sub-
ject careful thought coupled with ex-
periments for the purpose of testing-
the correctness of his conclusions. AU
will' admit that tre gettirig-of An even
stand of any kind of small grain is one
of the requisites of a first-class yield
of good quality Germination is the
first change from the seed to the pro-i
during" plant. Moisture coupled with
a proper degree of heat is requisite to
this germination.
Let us study the situation as we
often find it at seed time here in Texi
as. The ground has been plowed and
prepared for the seed If there has
been' little rain after this preparation
the surface of the ground is dry per-
haps (or half an inch or an inch.
Throw a' handful of seed on a piece of
. tis ground then rake it in The
most of it will be covered and out of
sight. In a day or two examine the
plot closely and you will find a part of
die grains showing! signs of .germina-
tion but you will find others which
have not changed from the state when
ygu put them on the ground The
first have been moistened by contact
with the moist earth. The latter have
been covered with dry earth and
hence have not had the moisture .need'
etl to inaugurate germination. These
atter will nave to await the coming of
a rain before germination. Now at
the same time at which you placed the
above grain in the ground had you
taken a hoc and marked a slight fur-
row over the same class of ground
you would have found that the bottom
of this furrow showed a line of moist
earth from which the dry earth had
becrj thrown away. Seed then
sprinkled upon this earth then cover-
ed with the dry earth would haveliad
the needed moisture and warmth and
the even germination would have
been ensured. The drill makes these
furrows deposits seeds upon this line
of moist earth covers it with the loose
earth provides the conditions most
favorable to a good healthy starting
of the plant so that an even start is
made for the race to maturity. Rea-
son would teach that the drill was in
this regard better than the broadcast
'sowing. Who has not seen a field of
wheat or other small grain when sown
broadcast a part of the grain up and
growing well the balance not yet ger-
minated awaiting the rains before it
can make the start ? Some who op-
pose a drill will say drilled wheat or
grain will do very well if the land is
clean but not if the land is foul. Hut
1 have found my experiment that
where land is foul that a drill with a
greater number of hoes to the foot and
sowing less grain in each drill row will
better cover the land than any broad-
cast seeding.
I venture to say that for Texas no
seeding machine is so good and so
nearly fills all the conditions for start-
ing a crop well as the drill and the
thinking farmer who once tries the
drilling and watches the the effect will
not return to the broadcast sowing
as he cannot afford to do W. S. M.

Preserving Fruit for Exhibition.
As there are doubtless many of our
readers who would like to preserve
some of their best specimens of differ-
ent fruits for exhibition at the fairs
next fall we produce the following
from Farm and Ranch which has been
used with success. The Texas and
Pacific Railroad exhibit at the Dallas
fa r on which the process was used
was one of the finest we eer saw:
"Get a large whisky barrel the
larger the better ; knock out one end.
and one inch from the other end bore
a hole and insert a common vinegar
faucet. Set the barrel open end up
and place a few bricks stones or blocks
of wood on the inside to a height of
six inches and pour water in the bar-
rel until it stands about for inches
deep. On the bricks set an earthen
pan or flower-pot. In this put one-
half pound of common sul hur and
sprinkle over the top about half tea-
spoonful of chlorate of potash. Take
the end pieces that were knocked out
and fasten them together firmly for a
cover. Set fire to the chlorate of
potash and sulphur ; throw a gunny
sack over the top place the cover on
snugly and over this an oil cloth or old
gum coat held down with a hoop so as
to make the barrel as near air tight as
possible. The sulphur will burn about
a half hour and the barrel should be
left undisturbed for at least four
hour. The sulphur in burning takes
oxygen from the air and produces
sulphurious acid in the form of a flaky
smoke which the vater absoibs. This
is the preservative. It should have a
very strong (offensive) odor and
should taste decidely acid If not
the operation should be repeated two
or three times using of course the
same water each time. To one gal-
lon of the sulpurated water add one-
half to one ounce of alum and one-
half teaspoonful of common salt. For
Irish potatoes and cabbage add also
salycilic acid in the proportions of one
ounce to twelve gallons of water first
dissolving the acid in alcohol I'm in
glass jars with ground glass stoppers
or snug fitting covers to prevent the
evaporation of the hquod. Apples
will lose some color and so will a few-
other fruits and vegetables but it is
on the whole the best preservative we
know. It is the method used by Mr.
F. A. Roessler of the Texas and
Pacific Railroad land and immigration
department and was successfully used
in our exhibit at the last fair."
Sod Ground for Potatoes.
A decomposing sod makes the best
bed for growing potatoes that I ever
tried ; but to succeed well it must be
properly prepared. The grass should
be suffered to grow till about the first
of June or if a little later it the north
it is still early enough far planting to
insure a good crop. Now take a
plow with a wide flat share quite
sharp at the edge with a sharp coulter
on the end or in the absence of this
fastenen a coulter to the beam. With
such a plow sod can be turned flat
over about one foot wide. This is
absolutely necessary in order to cover
the grass completely and insure its
gradual decomposition with the turf
my pen will be written to induce men
of my sympathies and feelings to step
upward 'out of Jhe ruts on to the plane
where modern methods and pleasant
labors invite all
I have told you in this how to pre-
through the season to furnish nutri-
ment for the growing crop. The
turned sod ought to be three or four
inches (hick. If thinner than this
it docs not protect well from a drouth
and if thicker it docs not decompose
as throughly as is necessary.
Holes for planting may be cut open
with a hoe blade about three inches
wide and as many deep and six inches
apart where every third furrow joins
its edge to a fourth and the seed be
planted in these holes. This makes
the rows three feet apart. Do not dis-
turb the sod in endeavoring to hill
these rows for a flat cultivation is
best and so few weeds will grow on
the surface 'that it will not be neces-
sary to plow it which if done will in-
juriously disturb the sod. All that is
necessary is when the potato vines
have grown up two to three inches
run a broad sloping tooth harrow over
the ground and it will effectually des-
troy all weeds and stir the surface
enough to keep it mellow.
Thus treated a soil of moderate
fertility will produce a good crop but
if it is so poor as to require fertilizing
do not spread manure or putrescent
compost on the top of the sod and
plow it in as some recommend for if
the growing tubers touch this as they
must it endangers their rotting and
in any event makes them less mealy
and injures their taste. If such
manure is used it should be spread on
the ground after being well narrowed
between the rows. It will then operate
as a benefi't during the hot weather
and as the rain dissolves fhe
salts the liquid will be carried down
through the turf to benefit the crop.
The best thing to use is the potato
fertilizer applied on the bottom of
the furrow as fast as the sod is turned
up and let this cover it Some recom-
mend spreading this fertilizer broad-
cast over the ground after the potatoes
are planted and harrow it well in. I
have tried this method of application
and found little benefit from it. If a
modern amount of ram falls during the
summer the turf will get well rotted by
autumn and the soil be in admirable
tilth foi a tilth of wheat crop or in
spring for an other crop the farmer
may wish to cultivate American

ist. Deep plowing followed by
deeper subsoiling. This brings up in
dry weather from the rain reservoirs
water for plant circulation or lets
ouwn in wet weather oxygen of the air
for .-crating and producing the chemi-
cal changes m root growth and devel-
opment. Pray do not forget this No.
i article.
2nd. Fertilization with the cheap-
est and best material. The costliest
and unhandiest manure is not always
the best. Pea vines plowed under are
Jhe cheapest. Sweet potato vines are
as good. Stable and cow-lot manure
as far as it will go is most excellent
and the rich vegetable mold with the
loam of rich bottoms all add to the
wealth and productiveness of the wide
fields but especially for the snug gar-
den for home or market. Hoth should
be made rich alike i. e. as rich as
they can be made. The manure of
any kind need not be turned down too
far from the air or the wholesome ef-
fect of air upon manure and plant
roots is lost and fertilizers .do not show-
in the result. So then after you have
broken the soil deeply as suggested
spread all the manure you can get on
the surface and harrow and mix with
the soil at least four inches deep.
Thia is deep enough from the surface
if you want to get the full advantage of
the manure the first year. Thus im-
provised as to the foundation for his
crop he may sow and plant as he
pleases but everything will grow and
produce luxuriantly and abundantly
and the most gratifying results will
follow.
It is from such fields as these that
we gather all our largest exhibition
products which sweep the premiums at
fairs and which enrich those whom we
call fortunate gardeners. As if provi-
dence smiles indifferently and without
law upon certain gardeners. Not so.
The physical labor and the brain work
arc the winning agents that get there.
Man is a double creature and one of
the twain his mortal is very weak and
the other one the mind is strong
Some men lay their strong part on the
shelf pull thcir.hat brim over their face
and dig dig all day and expect to win
good luck and .great fortune and they
barely come out even; and well too
for the world owes them nothing let
them die when they will.
Hut this double man who uses as
well or better the strong clement and
keeps his eyes ablaze with thought and
observation will ultimately succeed.
In tilling the soil it is especially true
that a judicious tillage is an absolute
need. Such culture and implements
as this age suggests and supplies are
needed to keep apace with the world
and handle its golden fortunes. Far-
mers can come out of the slough of
tedious tiring wearing work and ride
along on the new and elegant modes
of culture and to a great extent as far
as brute force goes be gentlemen of
leisure. So let each one watch the
progress of the times lest he and per-
haps his dear little children may con-
tinue to toil for another generation
where beasts and engines arc intended
to toil. For this end these series from J
pare the ground and in my next I shall

Sowing on Buttons.
"When I get a bright idea I always
want to pass it along" said a lady as
she she sat wntching a girl sewing.
"Do your buttons ever come off
Lena?"
"Fvcr? They're always doing it.
They arc ironed off washed off and
pulled off until I despair. I seem to
shed buttons at every step."
"Make use of these two hints when
yoli nresQwing them on then and-sec
if they make any difference. When
you begin before youjay the button
on the cloth pirt the thread through so
that the knot will be on the right side.
That leaves it -under the button and
prevents it from being worn or ironed
away and thus beginning the loosening
process.
"Then before you begin sewing lay
a large pin across the button so that
all your threads will go over the pin.
After you have finished filling the holes
with thread draw out the pin ami wind
your thread lound and round beneath
the button. That makes a compact
stem to sustain the wear of the button
hole."
"It is no exaggeration to say that
my buttons never come off and I'm
sure your's won't if you use my method
of sewing." Youth's Companion.
