Cotton ntnrt* Off fairly Small Vtrt tlu Bd*in—OhU aud Wheat. COTTOS. Planting has beeu riuished abont t vrr weekK in ihe upper part of the atute, and this late planted cotton i ja*£cotn itiß up, germination having been re tarded by dry and cool weatiu-r. Alosi of the crop has been put to aKtaud. am; the field# are clear of grass and weeds. The Htaud as a rule is good, btit ou sailclj lauds the plants have died out to some extent on account of the cool weathei ot May. On the whole tho crop atart; j off fuirly well, the dry weather of thf past month enabling, the farmers t< catch up with their work, aud get ic! ffood shape to meet the grass-growing mouth of Jane, i have estimated thf j increased acreage at from 5 to 10 pet cent. The Wushiugton departin-.nl places it at 8 per cent, and 1 hope then estimate is more nearly correct, l * j CORN Is small for the Reason andV^ s t! pe r Color, but t)ie stand i ! reported good, aud needed rains wilH booh bring it out both iu growth and color. The delay iu preparing corn iamb caused by continued rain;* iu Feb* | runry and March, indue *d imny ffirm* j era to plant their corn iu ground not j properly broken. This has been rem edied. however, daring May, and now in moat ciiMes, the middles of the corn rows have been W 1 plowed cmu‘ 1 wi<h I could report the acreage . ; : <s crop at least 10 per cent eater than last year, but I regret t iy it is ony übout the same. Many ot our farmers I are now buying Ohm, much of it uo | doubt damiigod. and I fear their stoett j will suffer in consequence Oar correspondents report that more fertilizers have beo.i used on corn this year tlnn usual, ami with goo<i seasons and work tho state should make a suffi- I cient supply. Oat* Fall oats ars unusually fine all over the state, but unfortunate ,y the urea planted to this most valuable rood crop was not as lurge as it should have ; u Spring oats as usual, are reported light and poor in most counties.

Fes.ttus Veins of Sweet Pc,tnlims and Corn. QnrSTtON.—What is the dilTerence in the feeding Value of Sweet potatoes aud eoru? Answer.—As the sweet potato is over two-thirds water. It takes about 8 pounds of potatoes to make one of com—that is of dry matter, nnd the dry matter of the potato, the weight lacing the same, contains about half os much protein nr muscle food as the dry matter of corn. Corn is therefore the moro valuable food, but the potato gives the variety so necessary for healthful feeding, and as potataes 011 sandy land will generally turn out a far better yield than corn, we would advise every farmer to cnlti- vato every acre possible in potatoes State Agricultural Department. U.r.u.u Millet. Qurstion.—How late can I sow Ger man millet, ami is it iujurious to tho land? Answer.—German millet may be sown as late as July or August, amt with good seasons will be rearir to cut in October. It should be cut when iu bloom, before tho seeds form. If this is done there will be no complaint of injury to stock by feeding tlie hay or of exhaustion to the land. This crop re quires rich land, bat will fully repay the time and labor mid manure in vested. There is no better feed, except ing oats, for farm auimais. State Ag cultural Depart menu Raising Turkeys. QntSTtON. —I have poor success iu raising turkeys, most of thorn dying be fore they are a month old. I think I feed them improperly, and would like some information on the subject. Answer. Ooufine the hen after hatchiug for at least three weeks in a perfectly dry coop, with openings for the little ones to run iu and out. By that time they will be strong enough to follow the mother, who should be turned out daily after the now has disippeared. Feed the little ones four times a day, for several weeks, with well cooked corn bread, mixed up with either but termilk or clabber, aud with chopped onion tops libetally added to the mix tore. After they are as largo as half grown chickens a feed morning and night will answer, and by that time the food may be any of the grains aud un cooked. By feeding us suggested, care fully keeping off all vermin and pro tecting the little turkeys from hard rains, you should raise at least three fourths of those hatched.—State Agri cultural Department,, r* r Here! ) In Thomson. *, J J 511 having a big sale on acconnt of ■* Great Attraction '-y ,n the r> Kfi rence in mode to ( V ' pdze gwds 1-1 the iJicnaid lCk.pts*i Cos., if At- ? 5 V ?
