FARM TOPICS
" r nat Now Engage the Attention of
Farmers.
Though we have had more freezing
weather in March this year than we have
had before in many years, and while this
•.ufgests the probability of severer and
!ater frosts in April than usually occur in
that month, it has not deterred early plant
ing in Middle Georgia. During the last
week of March quite a number made their
first planting, and if rain does not occur to
render the soil too wet to plow a very fair
proportion of the crop will be put in during
the first ten day3 of April. This is very
early planting, considering the abnormal
winter we have had and the very late spring
that follows.
bast year attempts were made to get the
u-iial early start, but owing to much defect
ire seed and much dry weather it wa3 made
very difficult to secure a stand, and in
thousands of instances it was as late as May
before there was anything like a promise
that there would be any stand at all. In
fact, throughout this section there were
innumerable i .stances when cotton was not
clipped to a stand until late in June.
Much cotton had not come up as late as
June 10, and the outlook for cot
ton was on June 20 about ae. discouraging
a- it had been any time in twenty or thirty
rears perhaps.
Despite all this the farmers of this section
realized in the end more satisfactory crops
than they had had in a number of years. It
is true a late fall came in to compensate
for the late starting of the crop, and cotton
was barely touched by frost before the last
i.ays of November, when the first freeze
i I'curred.
Where long limbed varieties of cotton
are used, it seems well enough to get as
early a stand as possible, and give it a long
time to grow to get the largest yield, but it
is different with the cluster varieties, that
necessarily shed a part of their squares
every year, for some of these improved
•■luster kinds put on more fruit usuallv than
t hey can mature. Wo have seen on numer
ous occasions this kind of cotton planted in
,1 une after oat sand make as many pounds au
acre as the same cotton did planted on simi
lar soil in April. The late plantiug ia these
instances matured about all the fruit that
was set, while the early planting, being sub
jected tothe May and July droughths, which
usually come after excessive wet, Joses 53
per cent, and sometimes more of the
squares that have set. There are a number
of very palpable contradictions in the
habits of the cotton plant (as perhaps there
are m every thing earthly). Sometimes we
find early plantings do the best, then again
late plantings make a larger yield.
Sometimes it does better planted on the
level, and again on high beds.
We have seen line results from planting
in the water furrow.
Conditions of weather and character of
the soil aro the influences that control these
differences of results following modes of
planting.
Now that cotton seed have a decided pe
cuniary value, selling in the spring from
::u cents to 50 cents per bushel, there is not
the justification for early risks that was
the case years ago when seed could be
Imugiit at 5 cents to 10 cents per bushel,
or obtained for the hauling. One could
better risk March or early April planting
then than he can now. Last year much re
planting was necessary, and hundreds of
farmers had to pay 75 cents to $1 per
bushel for seed to replant with. This is
something of aa item to the average small
fai mer.
Year in and year out there is no reason
for risking more than one-third or ODe-half
the crop by planting prior to April 10, on
the line of 33“ of latitude, and long experi
ence and observation have determined the
average safty limit for planting to lie be
tween April 10 and April 25. At least half
of the crop should be planted between
April 15 and April 25. It has occurred at
rare intervals that cotton planted as late as
April 25 has been killed by frost in May.
Larly April cotton has more frequently
been .killed between April 20 and April 30.
Taking twenty years or more, however,
from which to draw the safety limit it will
be found to average about April 10.
We have known years when no frost
severe enough to kill cotton or other tender
plants after March 1 (one or two instances
where not after Feb. 20).
When once the average is determined and
a rule of practice based upon it, there is
more or less risk involved in departing
from it. It must alays depend upon the
farmers’ condition aud surroundings as to
the extent of the risk he can afford to
make. Groat risks bring great results
sometimes, aud then again they may bring
ruin absolute.
Farmers must determiue this question for
themselves, and according to the location of
th-ir furms, for, as a well-kuowu observer
has remarked, “No cast-iron rules can be
suivessfally laid down for all to follow.
There are a multitude of varying influences.
The labor of the year is a game of skill, and
all the vicissitudes of drought,rain, frost and
Min have their part in the result. Nature
keeps up our zest by never permitting the
game to be played twice under the same
condition*.” This is all true, ami it only re
mains for the farmer to regulate his policy
hy rlam averages, bearing in mind al
ways that it is better to keep ou the safe
trie than to be making frequent inroads on
ti n risky side.
On dry uplands (most of such are dry),
'■otton beds should never be made with turn
shovels. If s single plow is used a three or
four inch diamond scooter is the best point
to make a good bed with. A double plow
running two narrow shovels, of course, is
more expeditious. These require a heavy
horse or mule, and are not available for use
h. v the small farmer, who relies on a Texas
1 ony or small mule to break and prepare
his land. It will take a double team of
‘ on-e to run a double shovel plow to advan
tage. The great bulk of the cotton lands
ore still prepared with the single plow, and
the same used for cultivating the crops. To
compensate for the tediousness in preparing
hind with such narrow tools the soil should
h>e broken that much deeper with them.
:' ,a y planted cotton is just as well planted
>u the level, laying off a shallow drill, as it is
" n °f any kinds. Beds allow of little
easier chopping out, and that is all. In dry
years level plantiug has the advantage,
SWKKT POTATOES.
is presumed that every farmer has
1 Jded bis potatoes some weeks ago. Some
may have heeded and lost a good many |
from rot.
It is cot too late to bed now, and yet !
make as good a crop almost as could be 1
made bv the earlier planting. Just as fine
crops ’as we ever saw have been set the
last of May and to the middle of June.
Potatoes were bedded about April 10. It
appears that potato seed have been very ■
scarce this spring in a good many localities
where the crop were reduced by unfavora
ble seasons last year.
V ines should bs planted every year in
sufficient quantity to make the necessary
seed for the next year. Potatoes are being
steadily deteriorated in quality, and much
of this is due we, helieve. to the use of the
later draws that spring from the potatoes
after the potato has been nearly exhausted,
sometimes in a state of decay, from
the first luxuriant growth of the first
two sproutings. Three or four and some
times five drawings are made from the beds,
and the plants of the last two or three we
are satisfied have nothing like the vitality
that the first and second sproutings possess.
As these late sprouts usually make the bulk
of the small potatoes that aro retained for
seed, the general tendency of the potato is
yearly toward deterioration. There is uo
question that they are getting gradually
poorer in quality.
Vine plantings, from those first set out,
should be made along in June or July, and
sometimes in August, to grow the next year's
seed potatoes from. This plan should be
more generally observed, for it accords with
the principles of vegetable pathology.
In applying fertilizers for sweet potatoes
it is not the best plan to pat all that is used
in the one furrow. The best plan is to lay
off the row and list close on it with a dia
mond scooter. Then follow, and scatter the
fertilizer along this list, most of it falling
of course ia the two furrows, one on each
side of where the plants will be set. In
finishing the bed use a turn shovel to
throw the other two furrows to it. This
covers up the fertilizer on top of the nar
row list, as well os that in the furrows. Fer
tilizer thus applied is not likly to fire the
crop if dry spells occur, and more root3
will be supplied with the fortilzer than
when it is all applied in the one furrow uu
der the plant. We are not offering this ns
a matter of theory, but as a practice de
veloped from long experience.
For this valuable crop not less than 500
pounds of a good fertilizer should ever be
applied to it, and when this amount is di
vided us follows it will rarely fail to give
good results:
Two hundred pounds of finely ground
bone (bone dust), 100 pounds cotton seed
meal, 150 pounds of a good acid phosphate
and 50 pounds of kaiuit. There will be
found profit oftentimes in applying two or
three times—yea,- four times the above
quantity. There is’ hardly any other crop
that pays better for good treatment than the
s weet potato. S. A. Cook.
Raise Flrst-Olass Fruit.
We would exhort, says the Rural Ilo,ue,
every one, who attempts to grow fruit, of
whatevor kind, whether for market or for
the family, to set out with the determina
tion to grow the very finest of the kind.
First: There is no profit in growing infe
rior fruit of any species for market. Most
of our markets are yearly oversupplted
wi U inferior fruit and they cannot afford
to pay much for it. Even where their sell
ing price is quite an advance on the price
they pay the grower, they are very liable to
have quite a proportion of the purchase
decay ou their hands, so that their total re
ceipts may fall below the cost of the fruit
at a very low price. But first-class fruit is
seldom left long in the hands of dealers,
though they may put a price on it that one
would think would repel buyers. Few
housekeepers have the power to resist the
attractive force of beautiful fruit.
Second; The farmer growing fruit for his
own table will feel himself so much better
repaid for his efforts if he can pick extra
fuir specimens of the species, than if com
pelled to put up with small, gnarly,
wormy, ill-colored specimens. He will feel
a pride in filling the fruit dishes
on his table with such fruit, and
he will enjoy the entire meal bet
ter and diges, and assimilate it better with
such an attractive and delicious dessert
awaiting its close. Tho farmer is entitled
above all others to such luxuries, for he
makes greater efforts and sacrifices to ob
tain them than any one eLe. He plant-, and
cultivates and pruues, and makes war upon
insects and fungi, in heat and cold, years
before reaping returns, not Knowing but
that all his labors will be for others to en
joy. The farmer should certainly enjoy the
best that the soil can produce.
Third; But perhaps the greatest enjoy
ment of fine fruit by the farmer and his
family will be in see ng it grow, in watch
ing its development, from tho bud to the
fully matured fruit. It is a grand object
lesson of evolution, the primal law of na
ture, and the farmer who properly compre
hends his relation to his children, his duties
aud responsibilties. will make the garden a
grand school room, more hallowed than the
Academic Groves of Grecian youth. For,
after all is said about schools and teachers
there is a groat portion of the education aud
training that parents have no rights to dele
gate to others.
Now, how can the farmer assure fine
fruit? In a general way, by doing all that
he can in assisting and directing nature iu
producing it. If the soil is not already
abundantly supplied with requisite plant
food, supply it from the best that stable can
make. Then keep tho soil ciean and mellow,
that no robber weeds shall deprive
the trees and fruit of needed
nourishment. Then attend to the
pruning; see that branches do not
grow too thick in the top, excluding sun
light. and sub-dividing too much the plant
food brought up from the roots.
Last —but by no means least—see that the
tree does not attempt to carry more fruit
than it can carry through to the highest
perfection. Nature is ever prodigal, and
above all other considerations provides
with extreme liberality against the extinc
tion of a species. A fruit tree, iu order to
insure against the extinction of its species
generally produces more fruit buds than
can grow to perfection., Then when the
buds open into flowers there is a marvelous
preparation of pollen for fertilizing the
ovaries that produce the seed. Generally
not one-hundredth, not one-thousandth part
of the pollen, provided cau be used, the re
mainder returning so the earth for other
use. Of those germs of fruit that are fruc
tified with pollen, but a portion can find
room for full development on the tree. But,
after insects and all other enemies of fruit
life have done their worst, there generally
remains more fruit on the tree than cau de
velop into fine iruit.
Here the farmer’s hand should interpose
and thin the remaining fruit until every in -
dividual shall have ample space for develop

ment. Thinned on this principle, the fewer
individuals remaining will expind until in
the end they will fill more baskets than the
original number would had they beau al
lowed to grow. And then, how much more
satisfactory to see the trees bending under
the finest fruit of its kind possible. Farm
ers, be satisfied with nothing short of the
best.
Use for Poor Rolling Land.
The most profitable use to put poor rolling
land to is to set it in peach trees or turn it
out to grass. Set out the young seedlings
on such land as carefully as if it were good
land; and with the aid of some fine ground
bone and ashes and pine straw a very
profitable orchard can be ultimately estab
lished. One can afford to manure properly
a hundred spots on an acre with the above
material where he could not afford to apply
fertilizers all over it to the amount necessa
ry to make it rich enough for farm crops.
A little bone meal worked in near roots at
the time of setting out, and the following
year au application made on the surface
about the tree, aud four or five feet in every
directiou, of a mixture of bone meal aud
ashes hoed in, will soon make an orchard
that will pay for all tbe trouble, in all
probability.
Farm and Stock Notes.
The cellar of the house is the danger
spot. Typhoid fever, diphtheria and otner
ailments may often be traced to decaying
matter in tbe cellar, assisted by the well
that has not been cleaned for several years.
Every weli, no matter how clear and spark
ling the water, should be cleaned out at
least once a year.
Dampness in the stable3 is not easily
avoided. When the animals are outside
the windows and doors should be kept
open to allow currents of air to blow
through. Asa rule, mail}' stables need
more windows, in order to admit tho rays
of the sun, which serve to dry the in
terior. In summer the windows can be
shaded.
Food valuesacd analysesare well enough,
but tho farmer who keeps a sharp eye on uis
stock, and notes the appetite of each ani
mal, will know more about how to feed and
what t J give thau all the learned “profes
sors” in the country. We do not mesa to
infer that the tables of feeding values are
useless, or that the efforts of scientists ure
futile, but animals differ in characteristics,
and the only way to know is by practical
observation.
We cannot too often repeat to inquirers
after the best cow food, says au exchange,
that no one food known will either bring or
keep a cow up to her tiest work in butter
making. Short, fine, nutritious grass is as
good or better than any other oue thing,
but the best of gra e s needs to be re-enlorced
by more or less of grain. So the very best
conceivable ration of grain needs to bo re
enforced by grass or so ne other succulent
food, such as good corn silage.
Cultivate loss land if your manure heap
is small. There is just us much lack, of
judgment in endeavoring to cover tea acres
with tbe manure that should go on one acre
as in using a lump of butter on ton slices of
b' ead when it will only auswer for one. Be
sides this, it takes more labor to spraud the
manure on ten acres than on one. Concen
trate your labor, concentrate y. ur manure,
and you may emoeatrate your crops with
out lessening the qu intity.
A correspondent to a farmers' paper says
“he filled an old basket, with the bottom
partly out, with scraps from the meat mar
ket, and hung it up ia his coop where the
youngest chickens were confiued. The blow
flies had a regular barbecue over it, aud iu
twelve hours from the time the basket was
hung up the little maggots were dropping
from the bottom in a small shower. The
chickens feast ou them and will eat hardly
anything else, and grow as chickens never
grow ou boiled rice or cornmeal.”
Household.
Fried Boiled Egos.—Slice hard-boiled
eggs, dip in breadcrumbs ami raw egg,
and fry in butter; serve hot. This is a good
plau of sdrving eggs that have been left at
breakfast.
Herrings in Jellev.—Wash and clean
four herrings, and lay them in a deep pie
dish; sprinkle over with 010 very finely
minced shallot; take six tablespooufuls of
stock, to which add two tablespoon!m of
mild anchovy sauce and one of vinegar, a
litile allspice, and a pinch of cayenne; heat
this mixture, pour it over the fl.su, cover
with a Hat dish, bake tor twenty minutes,
then slide it into another cold pie dish; w hen
1 erfectly cold, serve.
Popular Science.
The latest fad in England is paper pil
lows. The paper is t r.i iuto very small
pieces, not bigger than the finger nail, and
then put into a pillow sack of drilling or
light ticking. They are very cool for hot
climate-, and much superior to feather pil
lows. The newspapers are printing ap
peals for thorn for hospitals. Newspapers
are not nice to nse, as they have a disagree
able odor of printer's ink; but brown or
white paper and old letters aud envelopes
are the best. The finer the paper is cut or
torn, the lighter it makes the pillow.
Dr. Starr, of London, says that it is im -
possible to draw any conclusion from tbe
size orsbape of the head as to the extent or
surface 01 the brain, and so as to the men
tal capacity. It is absurd to judge of the
brain surface by either Ihe size of the head
or the extent of the superficial irregular
surface which is covered by the skull, ith
out taking into consideration the number of
folds or the depth of creases. "For a little
brain with many deep folds may really,
whan spread out, have a larger surface thau
a large brain with a few shallow folds.”

Remarkable cures of Catarrh effected hy the

proofs that tills loathsome and dangerous
disease is one of the blood, needing only
this searching and powerful alterative to
thoroughly eradicate if.
“ 1 have suffered for years from catarrh,
which was so severe that it destroyed my
appetite and weakened iny system. None of
Ihe remedies I took afforded me any relief,
until 1 used Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. 1 began to
take this medicine last spring, and am now
entirely free from that disgusting disease.
My appetite has returned, and 1 am once

"My son —now fifteen years of age —was
troubled for a long time with catarrh, iu its
worst form, through the effects of w hich his

he began using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, has
taken seven liottles of if. and is now entirely
