PLOWING DISCING AND HARROWING WITH TRACTOR.
To 1'iof. H. It. Doran nsslstaut pro-
fessor of AKronomy I.oulshinn Stnte
university whoso work fiiinlllnrles
him with tractor operation the follow-
Iiik tiost!ous have been put us to his
Ideas rofjiinlliiK' the utlllratlon of true-
tors on the fariim unci plaiilatloiiM of
this section:
1. fuller what cnndlllous Is the trac-
tor IIKelj to he a prolltahle Investment
for (a) the I Ice farmer (b) the cotton
farmer (c) the suuar planter? Por ex-
ample what Is the minimum size farm
In each case on which the tractor Is
likely to bo u prolltahle Investment?
What are the mlvanttiKcs and illsad-
vantages of the tractor In each of
those tjpos of fiumlUK?
-. How inaiiy mules are used on say
u lUHIucrc farm In the siiKiir the lice
and thu cotton belts respectively.
What proportion of these are likely to
ho displaced when the llKht tractor Is
used?
H. What tpo of tractor Is likely to
bo most useful for each of those tjpes
of liiniiliic?
Ill answer to the above queries nnd
taklliK up the question In order named
Professor Doran writes as follows:
1. Since so much depends upon thu
opeiator thu hi) out of the Holds nnd
the rotation of crops It Is dllllcult to
make oven u rucss as to the minimum
farm on which a tractor could he used
but It certainly Is not i!ufe to put It
below 'J00 ncrt's In nny one of the three
Instances.

ljinds that are too wet for the most
prolltahle production of crops such ns
wet level land low spots and the dry
subsoils of tint areas on tho summits
of knolls river and crook bottoms
and pout bogs should be drained.
Even uplands niny often he drained

of tho Intnl. It Is not uncommon for
land too wot for cultivation to pro-
duce when (I nil tied 00 to TO bushels
of corn or oats or from one to one
nnd a half bales of cotton to the acre.
On much of the drained lnnd the In-
crenso of yield Is from 'J5 to 100 per
cent and by thu Increases! yield and
decrensed cost of cultivation the value
of the lnnd Is often doubled.
DrnlmiKe Improves the phjslcnl con-
dition of the soil by making It more
porous and friable. Thus stiff soHs
arc Hindu more easy to work. Tho
routs ot plants are given a greater
feeding depth by thu lowering of thu
water level and hencu thu ability of
crops to utilise moisture Is Increase
Well-drained soils also absorb mere
rainfall than unilralned soils thus du-
creasliiK erosion and damagu by Hoods.
Tho following however should be
borno In nil ml In connection with
drnlnngu operations :
1. Tho grndo of tho ditch should Im
uniform and free from sags.
2. Tho tllo should ho plnced firmly
In tho ditch with tho cuds aa close
together us possible thu top of thu
Joints particularly so.
11. All Joints larger than one-eighth
of an Inch should bo covered with
pieces of broken tile.
4. Either top soil sod straw grass
or flue brush should bo placed nest to
tho tllo In soils where there Is
danger In silting.
0. A drop should be provided from
oven before It Is planted. 'Ibis "bod-
ding" as It Is sometimes called can
ho done with the mule much hotter
than with moclianlcul power. Thu rea-
son for all IIMs Is a lung story mid
wo shall not go Into It hero.
In lice farming the tractor can be
used for at leabt throe general opera-
tions: plowing harrowing or disking
and In some crises hauling binders
for cutting. It Is lucre iidaptahlu to
i Ice farming t lilt 1 1 to either of tho
others.
11. On a LIH) ncro sugar farm onllnar-
11 "0 mules would be used; on u cot-
ton farm of the sainu sire ten mules;
and on a lieu farm of this size about
eight mules.
The writer doubts very seriously If
n tractor would replace even u slnglu
mule on the cotton nnd cane planta-
tions hut on the rlco farm of "0 acres
posilhly four mules could ho replaced
some seasons. Even In this case how-
ever. It would not be at nil safe to de-
pond upon tliu use of the tractor for
the cutting of the rice bocausu It Is
by no means alwaM posslblu to run n
ti actor over tho laud when rlco Is hur-
cited. It Is sometimes Impossible to
use a binder nml thu planter hits to
re-ort to the old hand sickle.
II. Tor cotton nnd cnue work two of

tom of tho main so thu water In tho

fl. As few outlets of the main tile
as limy be should be constructed and
these should be properly protected.
7. Silt wells or catch Imslns wherein
to catch sediment should be construct-
ed where the soil Is of a sllty charac-
ter or wherever the grade alters.
8. A surface Inlet should he provid-

CARE FOR VACCINATED HOGS
Certain Precautions Should Be Taken
Before and After Operation
Provide Clean Lot.
In vncclnntliig hogs to prevent chol-
era certain precautions should bo
taken both before and nfter vaccina-
tion to Insure thopi ugntnst any III
effects of thu treatment that might
coiiiu about because of unsanitary con-
ditions. Hogs that have mild or 111 t li
on the body should not hu vaccinated
until the dirt or tilth Is removed. No
feed should bo given them live morn-
ing they are to be vaccinated.
When rendy for vaccination the
point nt which thu serum Is to bo In-
jected should ho painted with tincture
of Iodine to kill nil genus around the
puncture uiiiilo by the needle nnd pre-
vent sores from starting. After being
vaccinated hogs should be placed In n
clean pasturo or lot. Do not allow
them to have access to mud-holes or
dirty fallowing places. For at least
two weeks after vaccination do not
gtvo the hogs nny lieu ting feed; give
a laxative diet. Clemson College Kill-

Why the Baby Cries.
Now mu know why tho baby cries.
For a long time thu cause was veiled
In obscurity. It might be an InnecessU
hie pin or It might he tho helpless dis-
crepancy betwixt thu heavenly king
dom and this world or It might be a
plain casu of colic called by what new
fungled term you please. It has re-
mained for Oeorgc II. llotchklss of the
University .School of Commerce ad-
dressing editors and publishers ot
trade Journals In New York to cL'h-
cover that the baby cries In order to
advertise. It Is thu hnbj's effective an-
nouncement In tho Imperative mood
that hu wants to lie taken up and
petted or he wants the moon or he
wants something else and "he won't
be happy till he gets It." There Is no
ileujlng that for an Infant Industry tho
baby's advertising Is u great sr mss.
