Tho work on tim main urea iu COHN will ho finished up this month. Aftor this, it matters not what our mistakes in cultivation may have boon, they cannot bo roiuediud. Tlio man who has given time and caro to thorough preparation lias now a comparatively easy task iu “laying by” his corn crop. Tlio plants will bo growing rapidly, and whatever plowing is necessary can bo (lone with a shallow plow, thereby leaving tho roots undisturbed nml kill ing only tho grass and woods which may have sprung up. At tliis season tile corn is bunching, nml between this ami the tassolliug pe riod tlio last plowing should ho given, uni ;ss the hard, dry nature of the laud makes a later plowing an absolute ne cessity. This should, however, not bo deterred later than the appearance of tlio tassels, as any disturbance after that time moans injury to tlio crop ami diminution in tho yield. If tho corn crop is dismissed tlio last of Juno in a clean condition, any subsequent growl li of weeds or grass will not materially injure tho forming oars; but as tliis growth will inevitably occupy tho in termedium space.-, why not keep it down by broadcasting peas? They take very littlo moro of tho food and moist ure than tho spontaneous growth would, and return full monsuro and moro for everything which they appropriate. About a bushel to tho aero broadcast at tho last plowing will distribute tho peas evenly over tlio land, and thus tho nitrogen ami humus, of which most of our laud stands so much in nood, nnd Which tho peus furnish iu such abun dant measure, arc moro uniformly dis tributed than if u single row is planted in tlio middles.

Nor is tins all. Formerly it was sup posed that by fur tlio greater portion of tlio mauurinl legumes, especially of tho cowpea, was contained in tho vines, nml only a relatively small proportion remained in tiie roots anrl stubble. It was heiiuo deemed necessary to return tlie vines directly to tlio laud in order to seonre a maximum benofit, their val ue as feeding stuff being thereby lost. This misconception, however, 1ms observations and experiments conduct ed by both the Connecticut (Starrs) ex perimeiit station nnd tho Georgia ox porimuut station. Tlio former station has shown that a much larger propor tion of nitrogen than was at llrst sup posed is contain-) 1 in tlio roots and stubblo, and that tho vines may bo us stock raising and dairying it will not bo long boforo almost evory farm will importance increase proportionally. That it stands today nt tlie head of all soil renovators—at least for tho south —is boyoud question.

PEAS. This crop as a ronovator of worn soils, and as furnishing stock food of the very highest value, may avell be termed tho agricultural hope of tho south. It is not exacting in its demands, noitlior very nice preparation nor very rich laud is called for. With tho help of a little phosphate and potash it will grow a remunerative crop on land which will scarcely pay for tho seed and cultiva tion of any other crop, and besidos leavo in tho soil a rosidiuni of nitrogen and humus, by whioh other and suc ceeding crops can be successfully built up. There has boon issued from tlio Geor gia experiment station through tho horticulturist, .Mr, H. N. Starnes, a most valuable bulletin on fertilizer and variety tests of cowpeas, No. 27, whioh should be in the hands of every intelli gent farmer. Write to Captain R. J. Redding, Experiment, Spalding county, for a free copy. From Mr. Starnes’ report wo quoto tho following, trusting that it may roach and influence thoso farmers who have not received or applied for tho bulletin: Tito experiments by Prof. Hellriegel at Hernberg, Germany, havo thrown a flood of light upon tho subjeot. Tho discovery has there been made of a defi nite relation subsisting between certain microorganisms and tlio acquisition of nitrogen by legumos. By a series of carefully planned and skillfully exocut ed tests with sterilized sand, Prof. Hell- riogel has established almost beyond question that tlio rootgalls or tubercles affecting tho roots of tho legume fami ly are the product of microbes or hacto- ria, through whoso instrumentality and 4 35. operation atmospheric nitrogen is ae- 4 15 quired nml stored. This function of 3 55 the microorganisms fdvuiiug tlio root- 3 30; galls is beyond dispute, whether those ” n ” organisms aro bacteria or not. Their mode of obtaining and transferring the nitrogon, howovor, is as yet unrevealed. Tito fact has boon definitely estab lished, also, by the tests alludod to, that wherevor these baoteria or mi- „ n ,i (leireia i orobes nro present—and they exist in uud Georgia, ^ ou ^ tivatod f , 0 U-the legume is 1 23 put practically independent of a supply of 2 55 pm nitrogen, oither iu tho soil or odmitns- April BEAD or eJ | No- ‘2 Ar | U0 Ar | 53 ...

Heavy applications of any form or combination of fertilizers nro unprofit able. 4. The moderate uso of uucombined phosphates appears still to return the bust results from an economical stand point. 5. As between superphosphate (acid phosphate) and Florida soft phosphate (unacldulatod ground rook) results in dicate dooided preference for tho for mer, so far as tho growth of vines is concerned. (i. There is less difference observablo between the two iu tho formation of peas, though superphospliato still ap pears to bo profornblo. 7. The finely pulverized condition of soft phosphate is a groat objection to its uso, rendering it extremely difficult to handle without loss. 8 There is not a suflloiont difference in price between tho two forms of phos phate to render soft phosphate at pres ent an aolive competitor to acid phos phate, unless the ascertained results were moro emphatic in its favor. Their comparative availability must be, for the present, considered an opon ques tion, to bo definitely settled only by farther experimentation 9. The quantity of acid phosphate which may bo safely depended upon differs, of course, with the character of tho land. The bettor tho soil (in its mechanical composition as well as iu its chemical contents) tho greator tho amount that may be profitably usod. A range of from 200 to 400 pounds per acre will probably cover all contingen cies. * * e * . * * 1. Tho cailiost cowpea, and hence tho variety best adapted to high lati tudes, is the New Era; this matures in a little moro than 00 days from tinio of planting. Other very early varieties are Congo, Whito Giant, (Jhocolato and Vacuum. 2. Tho honviost yiolder of vines is Red Ripper, followed closoly by Forage or Shinny, Black and Unknown. 3. Tho heaviest producers of peas aro Unknown. Calico, Clay and White Brown Hull. 4 Tho yield of poas, as a rule, though not invariably, parallels tho yield of vinos. 5. For hay, tho erect, variotios aro preferable to thoso of a recumbent habit, sinco the mower cuts them all. Tho best of the croct varieties are tho Unknown, Clay and Whippoorwill. P.

Coal or wood nia be used, and a very hot fire is not desirable. Tho door iu the hogshead should bo loft open to provide air for tho stovo. Tho color and flavor of tho fruit will bo improved by keeping a dish dr pan of water on the back part of tlio stove, to furnish moisture to the lioatod air. Tlio box need not bo tight. A feAV auger holos should bo bored in tlio top of tlio box to produce a current of hot air up through tho trays or shelves of fruit. PREPARATION OK THE FRUIT. Apples must bo pared, cored, qunr tered or Bliced. For drying by artificial heat they are usually sliced. Peaches must bo peeled, halved and pitted.

Tho cost of a spraying outfit for orchard work may, howevor, bo considerably reduced by purchasing merely tho pump nml fixturos auil mounting them at home on a strong barrel. An apparatus of this sort, rop resenting a stylo that has proven very satisfactory in practical oxporience, Is illustrated in tho accompanying figure. It is merely a strong pump with au nir- chamber to give a steady stream pro vided with two discharge I1030 pipes. Ouo of tlieso enters the barrel nnd koops the water agitated and tho poison thoroughly intermixed, and tho othor nnd longer ouo is tho spraying hose and terminates in tho nozzlo. The spraying hose should bo about 20 foot long ami may bo fastouod to a light pole, proferably of bamboo, to assist iu directing the spray. Tho nozzlo should bo capable of breaking tho water up into a fine mist spray, so as to wot the plant completely with tho least possible exponditure'of liquid. Tho two more satisfactory nozzles aro those of tho Nixon and the Vormorel typo. A suit able pump with nozzle and hose may be obtained of any pump manufacturer or hardware dealer at a cost of from$l3 to $15. If ono Avith brass fittings bo se cured it will solve for tho application of fungicides. The outfit outlined above may bo mounted on a cart or wagon, the additional elevation secured in this way facilitating tho spraying of trees, or for more extended operations, the pump may bo mounted on alurgo Avater tank.” SPRAYING.

Tho prosonco of fungus diseases and insect posts is the main cause of disappointment in our fruit crops, and also of tho early decay of orchards, which should eoutiuuo iu bearing for an indefinite period. Tho value of these spraying remedies has boon so clearly demonstrated by the experiment stations and by individual tosts of large fruit groAVors that we can no longer doubt thoir expediency or economy.
