A LESSON IN FARMING.
Arkansas (Conway) T’nion Tribune:
It seems like a nervy thing for a
! nian who is $1000 in debt and no
money on hand to buy a farm, but
that is what was done by C. M. Flem- ■
ing of Saline County, Ark., and he
succeeded in paying for his farm out
j of crop proceeds in the space of five
years.
It was in 1895 that Mr. Fleming
bought the 96-acre sandy hill farm on i
which he has since lived. At that
j time he was not only $1000 in debt, !
but had no money and had to be fur
j nished with team, tools, implements
I and supplies. It was an unpromising
j beginning, yet by reason of hard work!
intelligent planning and good manage
ment he paid for this farm in five
years.
Mr. Fleming is not an all-cotton
| farmer, but believes in diversification.
He had 65 acres in cultivation, di
! vided usually about as follows: -
Ten acres are in cotton. 12 acres
in corn, 25 acres in pease for pea
hay, followed by oats, which is cut for
hay, 2 acres in watermelons, 2 acres
in cantaloupes, 2 acres in Irish po
tatoes. 2 acres in sweet potatoes, and
the rest, or about 10 acres, in peas,
part of which are in drills and part
broadcast. This last ten acres fur
nishes some hay and all the seed for
the next year. Peas are also planted
between the corn rows at the last cul

AND
CO-OPERATIVE UNION
OF AMERICA
u *auuu auu ell r uunll.
It is Mr. Fleming's practice to raise
all his supplies of hav, corn and meat,
and he usually has a surplus of $150
worth of hay to sell every year. The
average yield of pea hay is about
one ton per acre, and of oat hay near
ly as much, and the price received is
usually about $15 per ton.
Mr. Fleming’s land is mostly quite
sandy and rolling or slightly hilly. Its
fertility is naturally inferior, and it
washes badly if given a chance. The
washing, however, is checked by deep
plowing (breaking! and by the crops
of hay which bind the soil particles.
He uses all the manure made on his
farm and buys some commercial fer
tilezers, particularly for his vege
tables.. He breaks his land flat and
practices shallow cultivation.
Mr. Fleming is a reading farmer
and a man who studies his business.
He does not believe that success in
farming depends entirely or mainly
on “main strength and awkwardness,”
but that there is such a thing as sci
entific farming. He believes in and
practices diversification. He also
plants his crops so that his work will
be distributed throughout the year.
Mr. Fleming has a wife and two
small children. He says that his suc
cess would have been greater if he
had not been troubled so much with
ill health.
The above is a good lesson, and
we deem it a very important lesson.
COTTON SEED PRODUCTS AS
FEED.
A correspondent to Southern Culti
valor asks: “I have some mules and
they go to my cow-stalls and eat the
meal and hulls. How would this do
as a feed for them? Would it be bene- j
fieiul for them or injurious? Please let !
me know in yuur next issue of the
Cultivator.”
To which the editor replies: “Cot
tonseed halls and meal can be fed to
horses and mules. It will be much
better to give about foui pounds of
bran to ever\ twenty pounds of hulls.
If hulls were cheap as they used to be
it might prove an economical feed.
However, it is best to raise hay and
peaviness for your horses and not de
pend upon cottonseed hulls. We do
not know the effect that continued
feeding of hulls would have on the
stomach and digestion of a horse, but
do not think it would be as wholesome
as good hay. A farmer should grow
this and not buy it. If you have all
your feed to buy you can try the hulls

and meal, but the more wheat bran you i
mix with them the better your mules j
will thrive.”
TOPICS OF THE SEASON.
Farm Journal:
By taking a little time, some wot
day, to study the mechanism of tin
mower and binder and other farm ma
chinery, you may save yourself the
delay of sending to a shop or to the
factory for repairs or adjustments you
might make yourself.
Plant plenty of pumpkin seeds this
year. Not the great big overgrown
kind, hut common, every-day field
pumpkins. They are fine for man and
beast. A few pie pumpkins will come
in handy; best for pie timber of any
thing in the world.
Do not become discouraged because
the tree^isect pests are numerous
and persistent, hut keep on planting
trees. Science will eventually come to
our relief. Suppose we had all shopped
planting potatoes when the Colorado
beetle came to stay?
If there is anything that makes life
on the farm^eem hard and full of
aches and pains, it is trying to get
along with dull tcols. Grind them, fel
low farmers It takes but a few min
utes to sharpen the scythe, axe or
other tool that you are to work with.
When the mows are emptied, sweep
them thoroughly and let in all the air
and sunlight possible. We have seen
barns with ten-year-old dust-filled cob
webs hanging from ridge-pole and
cross-beam.
If weeds begin to show themselves
in the corn-field before the hills show,
a weeder will help to subdue them and
bring the corn up faster, too.
It costs twenty-five cents to raise a
bushel of potatoes, and they seldom
sell for less than fifty cents. Doubling
one’s money is considered pretty prof
itable business.
Better get up some plan to keep
the school going a litle longer if pos
sible.
Make your Union worthy to stand
by, and then through thick and thin
stand by it.
The split log drag is good every
day in the year, and it is particularly
good today.
What are you doing about that pic
nic you local is going to give right
soon? Get you neighbors interested
in it.
You only have to show people that
your Union is of benefit to you to
induce them to become active mem
bers.
There is not a Southern State that
could not raise all the navy beans
that all of them use. yet there is not
a Southern State which raises all
the beans that it uses alone.
It ought to be a reasonable cause
for throwing any member out who
will raise mongrel chickens, stock or
crops. In fact, no good Union man
will have mongrels of any sort.
The time will have to come when
all men will have the same right to
a place on earth which nature so
kindly gave all her children. Land
monopoly is the greatest curse the
world has to contend with today.
