Conditions That Are Constantly Be coming of Greater Importance to Soutliern Farmers. There is now much agitation of the farm labor question. For some reason or other there seems to be fewer available laborers for farm work than there were a few years since. It is the universal cry that there is a scarcity of help to cul tivate crops. This is not only true of Georgia and other cotton states, but is the condition in all sections. There are two explanations that may 1 be offered lhat may help solve the dif ficulty. The first is that, the scarcity is more apparent than real. There are as many hands engaged in raising crops now as there ever were. Indeed, It is not certain but that there are more. There is fully 25 per cent more crops grown now than ten years ago, and this increase could not possibly be produced by a diminished supply of la bor. With cotton selling at five cents, the acreage iB somewhat reduced, and this reduces the demand for laborers, but with the price from eight to twelve cents everybody wants to plant as much cotton as possible, and a majori ty really does plant more than they have help to cultivate, trusting to get day-help to pull them through, with tne result that everyone wants day help at the same time, and all bidding for what few hands are unemployed, puts the price of labor out of propor tion to the crops grown. The second explanation may seem paradoxical when it is stated that in stead of being too few laborers there are really too many. It is not a ques tion of whether there are enougn la borers to cultivate all the available land, but whether the crops these la borers can grow, will sell for remunera tive prices. The average Georgia cotton laborer now receives $122.72 as his annual wages, while the average laborer in Georgia manufacturing establishments receives $439. Until the farm laborer's wages is increased to a level with his brother in a factory or shop, there will be too many farm laborers. The land owner can not afford to pay more with present prices of farm crops. These laborers only produce $202 worth of crops, and as a matter of course their wages should be in proportion. But the number of farm laborers ought to be encouraged to go into other work until the amount of farm crops are re duced to the point where they will sell for higher prices. The percentage of the total popula tion engaged in farming in Georgia is too large. There are too many pro ducers and too few consumers. Take the state of Massachusetts for com parison. Less than 25 per cent, of her total population is engaged in agricul ture, and the average wages paid farm hands in that state is $355.68. This amount would be more, but crops pro duced in states where a greater per centage of population is engaged in agriculture acts as a hindrance. The proposition is being made now to bring in Chinese laborers to com pete with our native laborer in the production of cotton. These parties, who are large land-owners, propose to ruin their neighbors who are de pendent on their own labor for a liv ing, and for the education of their children. One man says in the Atlanta Constitution that he has made 300 hales of cotton this year, but he could have made a thousand more if he had had the labnir. He wants Chinese la borers brought in, so that he can cul tivate all his land, and thus quadruple his cotton crop. Ho seems to overlook the fact that any considerable increase in the cotton crop which would result from the importation of Chinese la bor, would reduce the price of cotton. He secs ten and twelve cent cotton and his idle land. He is not satisfied with the race problem that we now have, but wants to introduce another. He does not care what becomes of the future, for.he says so, but is greedy to pile up for himself now. Another proposition is to adopt the plantation system. This' means that we should have a few large farms, rather than many small ones. It is proposed to cultivate these large farms by labor which can be bet ter controlled, and which will bo more ofTcient. This system is virtually in effect in portions of Oglethoj-pe and other central Georgia counties at this time. It may be admitted that this system has some advantages, but these are stJ overbalanced by disadvantages that the system should not be thought of for a minute. The south has made rapid strides since the negro was freed and the plantation system was broken up. It would be a decided backward step to check the present tendency towards small farms.—W. L. Williamson, in Southern Cultivator. GOOD BACON HOGS. Time the People Were Leurniug; to Appreeinte Good llaeott Rather Than Fat Pork. The American people need some ed ucation before they can appreciate good bacon. We are a nation of grease eaters and want solid chunks of hog fat and want plenty of lard in which to fry our food, for fried food being difficult, and slow of digestion, allays hunger for a longer time than more digestible food. And then food saturated with hog grease is more easily swallowed, thus enabling us to eat faster, and more of it before hun ger is appeased. We are a pushing, money-making race, and can not afford to waste our time euting food lhat must be masticated, and saturated with saliva before It can be swallowed. Therefore, much time Is saved by sat urating our food with crease. As for Its unhealthfulness, we care little. We have physicians, everywhere and they must live, and it would be cruel, if not selfish, to adopt a system that would deprive them of much of their practice. In this country, the pork hog, or th» lard hog, brings the best prices at the great pork factories, and before the bacon hog can be grown successfully our people must learn to appreciate good bacon, rather than fat pork. The Tamworth Is the favorite bacon hog of Great Britain and the Seandlvanian countxl*#. They are very prolific, good breeder* and of large size; they have deep bodies and arched backs, which insures large sides; their bones are large, legs very strong and feet well formed and powerful. These hogs are kindly disposed and very vigorous and healthy. Perhaps If these hogs were raised tn large numbers, a good market could be built up for them. But at present the demand is for pork and grease, and not for bacon with alternate layers of fat and lean. At present we would not advise the raising of Tamworth hogs except for home use. Poland Chinas, Berkshires, Duroc-Jerseys, and other breeds that run largely to fat, are best for market ing, as the packers '.ill pay more for them.—Texas Farm and Ranch. Modern Firming;, The idea may prevail that the main feature of an agricultural course is to teach boys to plow, sow and reap, and to do other familiar manual labor of the farm. Such instruction is chiefly necessary for the boy from the city who has never handled a farm tool. What the boy needs most to study is the natural sciences which underlie all farm practices. He needs to know the laws of plant life as he may study of them in botany. He needs to know the habits of insects that destroy his fruits and vines as he may study them in entomology. He needs to know of the composition and physical prop erties of the soil as he may study them in chemistry and physics. Therefore these four sciences have a large place in a course in agriculture. The stu dent likewise needs a knowledge of English history, civil government, mathematics, drawing, etc., that he may become a well-rounded man—a good citizen as well as a handy man at his vocation. An agricultural course is one of the most delightful a person may follow. Some men say it is the best course in the universities which have an agricultural department, be cause it deals so intimately with the things of everyday life.—Sunset Mag azine. Water a Potent Factor. Water is the most potent factor In farming. Some farmers can't get enough water on their fields, and oth ers can't get the water off. Irriga tion and draining are therefore the most important subjects for agricultu ral contemplation. In buying a farm, or land to be devoted to farming, facilities for drainage should be con sidered. It is often the case that good drainage can be secured by proper lay ing out of fields and a very little of ditching. Irrigation, to some extent at least, can be provided for by damming a ravine and plowing out furrows to direct the course of the storm water. But generally this calls for elevating the water by windmills, or other pow er. Some land can be irrigated from shallow wells by pumping to an ele vated reservoir and putting the water on the land by the gravity process. Drainage is almost as important as ir rigation, and can be made a much less costly process. Too much water is as deleterious as too little.—Farm and Ranch. The importance of mechanical pow er 0I1 a f arm j s n q; generally appreci ate(J as it 0UgJl t0 t, e Every con trance that lessens muscular labor is a time save r. Many progressive f arm ers use improved implements for preparing land, planting, cultivating an(1 harvesting their crops; but all are operated by hand or horse power. A power is nee( j e( j (hat can be used in s | de the barn, to run a thresher, to gr j n( i f ee <), to operate the churn, to ppmp water, to saw wood, to turn a i at | le r or grindstone. There are many Machinery on fhe Farm. powers adopted to these purposes, but many farmers do not use them. Some farmers are not able to buy a steam or gasoline engine, or an efficient windmill. In such cases a tread mill operated by horses, at little expendi ture of muscular energy, will be found cheap and efficient. It can be hauled from place to place by a team of horses, and then operated by the same team. There is no danger from explo sion or fire in these machines, and they can do an immense amount of money saving labor.—Texas Farm and Ranch. HERE AND THERE. —Cotton seed meal fed once a day is one of thp best feeds for fowls, it will make the chicks grow rapidly and help the hens to lay regularly. What more is needed in a chicken feed? —If any single farmer possessed all the grain wasted in one year by tho farmers in a single state his name would stand high in the catalogue of millionaires. —Much of the beauty of any busi ness is in the profitableness of it; and yet many farmers pursue their avoca tion year after year with only the most meager profits. —Scrub stock and bad farming go together. When you see the scrub stock you know all you want to know about the kind of farmer who owns them. —On account of late planting, disre gard of character of seed, rains, droughts, boll worms, boll weevils and red rust, it is possible that the en tire cotton crop will not seN for more than $600 000,000. —A poultry journal says ducks should not bo required to roost with the chickens. And there is no indica tion in the paragraph or the context that it was intended as a joke. Just fancy a duck roosting! —In almost every case of vicious ness in a horse, the horse has con tracted the vice from man. In cases of inherited vice it is the fault of the man if it has not been cured. Vicious associations corrupt horses as well as men. —In the growing of hogs or other live stock, good pasturage and plenty of it is the cheapest of all feeds, and as good as any that can be devised for animal growth. Pasturage in creases the profits by curtailing the cost of production. —Indications are that throughout the country eggs are becoming un usually scarce on account of the "short crop." Why such a contingency should be general throughout so large a coun try is hard to explain, unless, perhaps, hens are partaking of the great striko epidemic now everywhere prevailing. What their demands are we can not iamagine. Perhaps the cold storage poople can enlighten ua. THE PEANUT HARVEST. \\ omea nn<l Children Are More Ex pert in the Work Than Men — Point* of Interest. Peanuts are harvested in October In all (he large peanut growing states. The harvesting must always take place before frost, for the nuts and haulm are both greatly Injured, if not ruined, by frost. If the fall should be wet, or the peannts mature very early, many of the first formed nuts will be ruined by sprouting. Dry weather should al ways be selected for harvesting, states the New Orleans Times-Democrat. It cannot be done when the ground is wet, for then the dirt will adhere to the nuts and ruin them, or, at least, greatly detract from their market value by turning them black. The crop of white peanuts is harvest ed by running a furrow on each side of the row with a bull-tongue plow or a pea digger, so as to dislocate the roots. Care must be taken not to de tach the nuts from the vine In run ning the side furrow. After the plow has been run on each side of the ro-.v (and it is sometimes necessary to run twice on a side), then lift the vines gently with the hand, carefully shak ing the dirt off, and lay them on the ground. Let them remain in this way, if the sun is shining, from six to eight hours. The vines will wilt like clover, when they may be brought together and stacked. The stacks are made around a pole planted in the ground and rising some eight feet above the surface. A platform made of old rails rests upon logs placed around the pole and upon this the stack is built. The platform protects the nuts and vines from the mold and dampness of the ground. In stacking the nuts should be put on the inside next to the stack pole, but not so close as to prevent the air from circulating freely from the bottom to the top of the stack. Tc make the stack entirely secure it should have a capping of hay or corn fodder Put up in this manner, the nuts will keep securely ail the winter should it be desired. The red nuts are more easily har vested than the white, as they have but few roots and the nuts adhere closely about the stem. In looee land they may be pulled up without run ning a furrow on each side of the row though to do this will make the work much easier. There are but few red nuts now grown. An overproduction of them for awhile reduced prices be low the cost of the labor in producing them. Usually the nuts are allowed to stand in the stacks about four weeks and are then picked off by hand, the white always. The red nuts are tometimes thrashed off by taking up bundles and beating them against a rail or the side of a box. This latter plan greatly in jures the peanuts. Five to six bushels of red peanuts can be picked off the vines in a day by a nimble-fingered person, but the picking of three tc four bushels of the white is consid ered a good day's work. Women and children are said to be much more expert in this work than men. The price paid for picking is about ten cents a bushel. After this they ought to be screened in a cylinder, so as to separate them from the rust and leaves, and also for the purpose oi brightening the hulls by abrasion. After sunning they are put in sacks containing four to five bushels. HORSES' SWIMMING SCHOOL. Take Their First They Aniinnl* I.eMMOtltt Are Five \Y liei Old. V Horses are "enlisted" in British cav alry regiments oil reaching Iheir third year, but it is generally two years more before they aretaken for their first swim ming lesson. This branch of their ed ucation receives a good deal of atten tion at the Aldershot training camp, writes W. G. Fitzgerald in the Royal Magazine. The veterinary officer and ridir.g master of the regiment super vise the work, and only experienced men are allowed to assist. The great thing is not to rorcc or alarm the horse during his training, but rather to lead him by easy stages to en ter the water quickly, fearlessly, and as noiselessly as possible. If terrified at the start, the horse would lie likely to fight shy of deep water ever after. So on the first day the man who has charge of the horse walks his pupil about on the edge ot the water, just permitting him to wet; his hoofs and fetlocks. The next day the horse is introduced a little farther into the water, perhaps up to his body, and allowed to splash around as he pleases. In tills way the horse is gradually taken farther in, until at length he loses his footing and starts swimming quite naturally, the man in charge swimming by his side to give him greater confidence. Then the horse is fhught to swim in company with others, beside a boat, by way of training him to cross rivers with his regiment en massp. The horses are divested of all saddlery but head col lar and head ropes. The men of each troop get into a boat and by means of the head ropes bring their horses into the water alongside. Then the boat Is hauled across the river by a rope manned from the opposite side and the horses necessarily follow. At times the horses are exercised in bearing their riders across on theh backs. The horse wears only the head collar and bridoon, and the rider strips himself and throws his legs up along the horse's flanks, so as not to impede the animal's movements. As the horse naturally swims very low in the water, the rider's weight pushes him down un til only his head is above the surface. But the animal soon gets over the un easiness this causes him at first. Then the horse's tuition is complete, and he is classified In his regiment as "profi cient." Verdict for Spoiled Dream. Mrs. Ciara Book, of New York city, has obtained a verdict of $100 damages for injury done to a dress through the carelessness of a waiter in a small rcs^ taurant. She and her husband were dining at Sherry's and the waiter dropped a glass of water on the white crepe de chine princess gown, manager made profuse apologies and so did the waiter, but Mrs. Bock refused to be mollified by fine words.
