QrESTtojr.—Is there any cheap crop
that I can cover my lanas witk during
the winter? 1 know it is a mistake to
leave them bare, bat clovr and vetch
ar*i expensive crops, auyf unless the land
is rich and all conditions suitable they
often fail. I want something within
the reach of an ordinary farmer, and
which I can take off in the spring in
time for other crops.
Answer.—F or your purpose I think
you could use nothing better than rye. j
It is of course an injury to the land to
remain bare for several months, subject
to the leaching and washing of our
heavy winter rains. This is the chief
reason why cotton culture is so injuri¬
ous to land. The crop takes from the
soil less plant food than any of the sta
pie crops of the country, but the cotton
fields being left bare of vegetation, and
subjected for the entire winter to the
washing and leaching of heavy rains,
are rapidly deprived of some elements
of plant food, particularly of nitrogen.
Bv sowing from 3 to 4 pecks of rye to
the acre from Sept. 1 to 15 you will pro
•ect your laud largely from washing,
you *V will hare a good pasture through
the late fall . , aud , winter . for , all ,, your
stock, . and , will have the stub- . ,

ing , by shallow , ,,
crop running a sweep
furrow . through the middles of the rows,
, having . g. first . sowed j the seed , ahead , , of a
the plow. Tn.s pint, can also be prac
Deed successfuilv with oats, pasturing
them in the winter and turning them
uuder in the spring. Of the two, how¬
ever, I prefer the rye, as better able to
withstand the cold, aud as being of
more rapid growth and earlier ma¬
turity. Should you prefer to make hay
of the rye, cease to pasture it after
Christmas, and cut when starting to
run up and then turn under the stub
ble. Where you expect to cut the rye
you must of course knock down the cot¬
ton stalks in good time, so that they
will not interfere with the reaper o i
cradle.—State Agricultural Department.
Sugar Cane <- ultlvatlmi.
Question.—G ive me some informa¬
tion about planting, manuring and cul¬
tivating sugar cane; also yield of syrup.
Answer.—S ugar cane does best ou a
rich, deep, sandy loam, aud for its best
success requires plenty of moisture. It
is not a profitable crop north of latitude
S3 degrees, though it is planted to some
extent much higher up trie country. It
requires a long summer for its full de¬
velopment, aud consequently does best
in South Oeorgta. Belonging as it does
to the family of grasses, it requires an
abundance of nitrogen, aud will not
make much growth without it. It is
very customary in the wiregrass section
of the state to plant cane on laud that
has been cowpenned the previous year,
and very fine crops are made in this
way. Stable manure should not be used,
for thougli it will produce a fine growth
of canes, the syrup made from them will
neither taste as well nor be as light in
color, as where other fertilizers are ap
plied. Break your land deep and tlior
oughly; open deep furrows 4 feet apart;
apply in these furrows 500 pounds of a
fertilizer carrying 8 per cent phosphoric
acid, 4 per cent nitrogeu, and 2 to 3 per
cent potash. Run a scooter in bottom
of furrow to mix the fertilizer with the
soil. Then plant your cane, cutting the
stalks into lengths of about 2 feet and
lettiug them lap each other in the plant
ing furrow. Cover with turning plow,
running on each side of the planting
furrow. Then apply 200 pounds of the
fertilizer above mentioned iu each list
ing furrow, run through this with
scooter to mix the fertilizer with the
soil; then bed out the land, Niue bun
dred pouuds of fertilizer may seem a
heavy application, but you will be am
ply repaid by the increased crop. Cul¬
tivate as you would corn, keeping down
nil weeds and grass. With a good stand
and necessary rains, a crop plauted as
directed should make not less than 40b
gallons of syrup to the acre.— State Ag¬
ricultural Department.

Question —Will olive trees grow in
South Georgia? Where can trees lie
bought, and at what price? How old
will the trees be before beginning tu
bear?
Answer.—T he olive tree requires for
its best development a deep, calcareous,
well drained soil, and will pot grow on
wet laud. As far as climate and soil are
concerned, there are doubtless places in
South Georgia, particularly near the sea
coast, where the olive would grow and
bear fruit, but I do not think they wouid
prove profitable. There are thousands
of acres in the coast vaheys of Califor¬
nia planted in olive trees which prom¬
ise an abundant yield, and. indeed,
some orchards are bearing well now,
but even there, with soil aud climate
peculiarly suited to them, they do not
prove as profitable as some other crops.

1 he Discovery Saved His Life
Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers
ville, III., says : “To Dr. King’s New
Discovery I owe mv life, Was taken
with LaUrippe and tried all tiie physi¬
cians for miles about, but of no avail
snd was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King’s New Discovery
in my store I sent for a bottle and be.
gan its use and from die very first dose

bottles was up and about again. It is

more apt to live than the one and two
year old trees. Yon would probably
have to obtain them from California, or
import them from Europe, as I know of
no nursery at the east or south where
they can be bought. In California they
begin to bear at five to six years of age,
and continue in bearing for a long term
of years 3 They should be planted not
less than 30 feet each way, and great
care should be taken to preserve the
roots from injury. Even if you have
the proper soil and climate, I would ad

Question —I want to pnf nn consid
eraoie wire fence tilts fail, and I want
your advice as to posts I have a choice
between pine, pop ar, magnolia, sweet
gum and o tk; wmeh is best for the pur
pose? What is the best treatment to
give the posts in order to preserve them
from decay? Will small trees cut in
proper lengths last as loner as large
trees sawed or split for the purpose?
Answer. — Among the woods you
mention, good heart pine is a long
ways the best. If you could possibly
P et o 9(iar P osts they would be the best.
but aside from cedar there is in South
Georgia no better wood for posts than
the heart of a sound yellow pine. A
good aud economical treatment to make

thetu a heav y coat of tar ' covering ev
^ P° r,io “ of the P° st that R oes in ,ha

in tar for the space of half an hour the

1-anil struck, by Lightning.
Question. — What will restore land I
that has been stru k by lightning, and
how long will it take? I ■
Answer.—T here is a prevalent belief !
that where the ground is struck by
lightning it is rendered sterile and un¬
productive for years. This is an error
which any one by close observation can
detect. When a portion of a growing
crop, such as cotton, is struck by light
uiug, all the plants which receive a
share of the electric current are, of
course, killed, and it is possiblo and
even probable, that chemical changes
take place in the ground receiving the
current that render it barren aud un¬
productive for a short tune. This con¬
dition has been noticed by every farmer.
I suppose, but continued observation
would also have shown that the stricken ‘
spot gave no evidence of sterility the j
following year. By that time, what¬
ever harm had been done to the land by
the lightning, will have been remedied
by the forces ot nature, whlon are con¬
stantly at work, aud the ground will bo
restored to its original fertility.—State
Agricultural Department.
itiimi K
formation Question.—P lease give me some in
i regarding the ringing of
pl “ 9 ' p ^ s * l()u ^ pe tbe 8129 t * 10
ling, and of what material should it be
made? How long can the t ing remain
iu the nose without injury?
Answer.—R ings are put in the noses
of pigs or hogs to prevent their rooting,
The ring should he placed in tbe tough
cartilage at the top of tiie nose, through
which a hole must bo nuuchei to ro
ceive it. The ring should be from l
j to be l}.< inches iu diameter, aud shou d
made of either steel or copper. It
can remain in the nose of the hog dur¬
ing its life without injury. Should you
turn the animal on a field of potatoes or
-
! grouudpeas, where you want him to
; root, the ring must be removed. Where
hogs are kept ou grass or ciover through
the summer they should always bo
ringed, as otherwise they do much
damage by rooting for worms or grass
roots.—State Agricultural Department.
