The vetch is now grown moie or less extensively throughout the southern States, but not one-thousandth part of the land is devoted to its cultivation which th* merit of the crop justifies. In fact. , the cotton farmer has never utilized win- 1 ter cover crops as he should and as he will be forced to do in the future by reason of the rapid depletion of our soils in fertility There is probably no crop which can be grown more advantageously during the winter than the vetch, eithei alone or in combination with some of the cereals. If the proper varieties of vetch are selected and combined with any of the careals. pasture may be had during the fall, winter and early spring equal in quality to Bermuda, and not far short ol blue grass, and owing to the mildness of the climate of the gulf states, the farm animals will be able to gather their living for the greater part of the time out of door* In fact, at the State College of Agriculture last year hogs were maintain ed at a modicum of coat for grain and at tention on a mixture of rye and vetch and oat* and vetch. Quite a large num ber of heifer*, retained for the building up of the dairy herd. were carried through the winter without a mouthful of feed other than they gathered for themselves on pastures similar to those mentioned above. The dairy cows were frequently turned out on these pastures and did remarkably well whenever given some fresh feed Any of these combina tion* will prove efficient on those dairy farms where silos have not be*n built and even on those boasting a silo thbre win always be times when soiling will be necessary, and there are few crons that x will be ready for soiling <n advance of the vetch cereal combination, and cer- I tainly none of superior merit for feed ing to dairy cows. Moreover, the cron mar be pastured during the fall, winter and early imring. and then if the animals are withheld for a counle of months a • Choice cron of hav will be obtained. This hay will be eoual in feeding value and quality to that which can be made from almost any other cron successfully raised In the south, and a yield of from one to two tons per acre may be anticipated on land of only fair fertility. In fact, aftei the severe pasturage to which a crop of oats and rye and vetdh was subjected a yield of at least a ton and a half of , cured hay per acre was ha-vested on a red clay hillside that any who have seen It would certainly not call rich. More over. this crop was raised after the land had produced a yield of about six tons of corn and sorghum for silage, and no special fertilizer of any sort was used • qAfler the second cron. The one advantage which the win ter drop enjoyed was the fact that »t was seeded shortly after the first of September and made a strong growth before cold weather set in. Os course, the vetch may be sown much later than this, but early seeding whenever practicable will be found the meat de sirable.

Nitrogen is hardly necessary in ’ most cases, though of course, when | the crop is combined with a cereal, J which is the best practice according to ( > our observation, a little nitrogen, not i | over 2 per cent, may be used, and 100 to 200 pounds of cotton seed meal , will supply an abundance of this elo ; ment as well, affording probably the I cheapest source of nit.ogen. I Just a word as to varieties of vetch. The hairy or winter vetch is by all odds the hardiest and most vigorous; I variety with which we are acquainted. ! ■ It is slow-growing, however, and makes ! but little development in the fall, and j i does not come on as rapidly in the early spring as many see mto think It i should. The fact that it is hardy, how ’ ever, and will withstand the winter j freezes is a strong point in its favor. The English vetch, Vlcia sativa, the I same as the Oregon vetch so much ' talked about recently, grows off much more rapidly than the hairy vetch and • makes a good growth in the late fall j ' and early winter. It is not nearly so ‘ hardy, however, as the hairy or win -1 ter vetch, and is therefore not to be i depended on like the latter. It is prob” . ably better to combine the two rather j than to rely on one. To quote from j our own experience: Last winter cer- I tain sections of land were sown to ry» ; and the hairy vetch. True to its char • acteristic, the vetch did not develop to ! ( any appreciable extent until February, j The Oregon vetch, however, seeded with I rye alongside the hairy vetch grew off I very well in the early fall, provided considerable pasturage before Christmas and an abundance thereafter until the freeze of January 29. To the uninf : tlated the Oregon vetch looked like a ! winner and one would have been la i dined to give scant consideration to the hairy vetch had they seen the two | grown side by side. Hogs and calves i • also appreciated the vigor and preco-1 I city of the English vetch and ate it I with avidity, but this did not seem to Injure it. However, when the unex i pected and unusually severe freeze re -1 ferred to occurred, the Oregon vetch was completely destroyed, not a sprig of it being left to tell the story. The hairy vetch was not injured in the least and immediately after the freeze began a vigorous development which It continued until harvested In May, though subjected to vet * se 4 e pas turing during the winter und spring, as •Iready indicated. ♦ QUERIES ANSWERED ♦ i L*** MAKING THE TUBERCULIN TEST. 1 S. W. S., Duglasvllle, Ga., writes: I' have a valuable cow which has a very ' | bad cough, and I wish to know ho* t can I determine whether she has tuberculosis ' or not. as I fear she has the disease, , * although she seems to be in splendid con- | ' | dition.

Vl hen an animal is tested lor tu berculosis a clinical thermometer should be used, the temperature being taken ev ery two hours, beginning say at 6 o’clock in the morning and continuing until 12 that night. The next day the process is repeated. If the animal lias the disease there is a rise of temperature of from 2 to 6 degrees. When the animal is free frem the disease the temperature does not rise or vary more than the normal daily variation. When there Is a sudden and rapid rise of temperature the case should be regarded with suspicion. In a typical tuberculosis reaction the tempera ture rises gradually for two hours or more until It reaches its maximum and then gradually urops down to normal. While this is not a difficult test to make It is usua.ly economy to have an experi enced person and for one animal it will not you more to secure a competent per son to do the work than to purchase the necessar? hypodermic outfit for injecting the tuberculin. HOW TO MAKE PEA-VINE HAY. J. R. 1., Milledgeville, Ga., writes: I have a fine lot of pea-vine hay. but have had no experience in saving it. I want to cut at a period when I can save the leaves. I have heard of people cutting and shocking in the field by means of poles with two pieces nailed crosswise, and the hay piled around these In a cone shape so as to shed water. I have been informed that by this method you car, shock just behind the mower, and save it successfully even In rainy weather. 1 would like to have your opinion of this or any other method you may suggest, for I do not want to make a misaae. Your plan suggested for shocking and curing corn was a perfect success. , We have been quite successful In curing pea-vine hay after the following method: Go to the woods and get some sapplings about three inches in diameter. Cut them in pieces about four feet long and sharper, one end. Drive three of these into the ground so as to form a triangle. Some times it is well to secure with a nail or two where they cross so the weight of green pea vines put over them will not bend tl.« m down and deieat the purpose for which they are used. The idea of using these three pieces of sapplings, as suggested, is to form a ventilator under the mass of green vines and let the air circulate freely througn the pile Vines that are quite green can be cured suc cessfully in this way. We know of no method of curing which is simpler or costs less than the one suggested. A large pole, such ns you have described, to which cross arms are nailed has been used by many with satisfaction, but we believe our method is simpler, and cer tainly quite as effective. Os coui re. it is a difficult matter to cure pea vines when the weather is wet> no matter what precautions are taken, but you will be more likely to succeed by following the plan suggested than in any other manner which we have yet tr ei. For ourselves, we always like to cut the peae and allow them to wilt partly before piling up, and after they are stacked up if the weather is wet. you can cap with a little grass or something that will shed the water. Where hay caps are used pea vines can be success fully cured in bid wenther and «fn *e et vine hay is a staple product In Georgia, it would seem advisable on large plan tations to secure a supply of these caps which cost comparatively little. Pea vines are best cut for hay when 'he lower -nd the maio’-lty o' ’h<» pods are beginning to turn yellow. If left longer than this the grain will shatter out and more or less of the leaves will be lost in the curing process. We have cured much pea-vine hay successfully this year after the plan suggested. i lam glad that you found me method of [ shocking and curing corn aa outlined in a former letter so satisfactory. j [ I FERTILIZING OATS. , J F. W. D. W.. Mount Vernon, Ga., writes; I want to use 500 pounds of a 10-3-3 fertilizer ' under my oats this fall. Is it well to put the fertilizer and the grain in with a grain drill at the same time, or will the fertilizer kill the seed? 11 ’ , The suitability of a 10-3-3 fertilizer so: ! oats depends somewhat on the nature o£ the land. Where cowpeas or other le gumes have not been grown on the land during the summer, and a heavy crop . such as corn or millet has been harvest jed, 3 per cent of nitrogen is not too I much to use on oats. If the land is sandy •the fertilizer would be improved somt- I what by the use of more potash, say 4 to 5 per cent. Five hundred pounds of your mixture with 100 pounds of kainit added, making 600 pounds in all, would give you the needed increase in potash for such soils. The amount of fertilizer you pro pose to use is not too much for this crop, i and there is no objection in the world |to using a 10-3-3 fertilizer at this season ■ of the year as the phosphates and potash are not easily lost by leaching or wash ing from the soil, and the nitrogen is likely to be utilized by the crop during the fall season and held In such form during the winter as to prevent its loss. We have drilled oats and fertilizer to gether as suggested by you, and in a mild winter tlie plan Is as good as any with which we are familiar, but owing to the fact that we generally have one or more severe freezes during the winter which often kills the oat crop, we think it better to sow in the open furrow. There is a drill now on the market which sowj jfour rows at a time and applies the fer itflizer aS well. F'e believe it is a good Investment whew considerable areas are Ito be devoted tu the oat crop. It is of 'course better to apply the fertilizer and grain so they will not come directly in I contact, and especially is this true when the source of nitrogen is cotton seed meal, as for some reason this material seems to affect germination unfavorably. The ordinary grain drill may as a rule be so , adjusted as to prevent the two from com ling in contact with each other. HORSE WITH SORE SHOULDER I B. T. M.. Statham, Ga., writes: My horse has a running sore on its shoulder. It was first bruised an<l then cut open, and had been running for about nine I weeks. If you will give me a remedy that j will cure it I will appreciate it. I The sore shouldef from which your 1 horse Is suffering should first be thor |Otia-hly cleansed and disinfected with a 1 solution of creoiin one nart to 100 parts i of water, or carbolic acid one part to 30 narts of water.

TARIFF ON T.-pmons HAS BEEN INCREASED WASHINGTON, Oct. B.—A heavy and general advance in the fre'ght rates on lemons has been made by trans-conti nental railroads. Shippers of the Ameri can product are concerned serlou«lv by the pronosed advance which, according to the tariffs filed with the interstate com merce commiss’on. will become effective on November 15 next.

JEROME DECIDES NOT TO MAKE RACE NEW YORK. Oct. 9.—As had beer, predicted for several days. William Tra vers Jerome issued a statement tonight formally withdrawing from the contest for re-election as district attorney as an Independent. His statement says: “After careful reflection it seems to me I ought no longer to continue as a candi date for election to the office of district attorney of New York county, and I have today bled my declination of nomi nation for candidate for that office.” TWO HELD UNDER BONDS FOR BLOWING UP SAFE ALBANY. Ga.. Oct. 9.—Charged with blowing and robbing the safe of the post office at Pine Park, in Grady county. Henry Charles and Oscar Rollo, the latter a youth of 17 years of age. were tried be fore United Sta'es Commissioner R. J. Bacon yesterday and committed to jail in default of ?5.0C0 bonds. The men were arrested in Thomasville and it is alleged that some the con tents of the case, together with safe blow- i j Ipg tools, were found on them. ■» COTTON MEN PLAN 10 CUBTAILOUTPUT i Gigantic Movement, Brought About by High Price of Raw Material snd Small Sales, Be gun for General Decrease, I l BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 9.—A gigantic movement born of unrest of long standing is in progress throughout the leading cot ton textile districts of the world, looking towards a general curtailment of produc tion during the remaining months of this year and in 1910. The principal reasons advanced for the movement are the grad ual Increase in the cost of raw material and the failure of the dry goods markets to respond in away which would assure continued profit to manufacturers during the next 12 months. RUN ON SHORT TIME. In Lancashire, the yarn spinners have been running their mills on short time for two months and recently many other English mill owners voted to shut down two days each week until November S. On September 15, the Arkwright club, of Boston, representing 14,000,000 out of 17,- 000,000 spindles In New England, sent out to all the cotton mills In this district, i which is second In the Industry to Lan- . | eash ire, forms of an agreement for signa- ; ■ tures for a curtailment. The investiga-j tions of the executive committee of this | club convinced it that no difficulty would i be experienced in securing the signatures representing 7.000,000 spindles. The proposition calls for the suspension of work for 224 working hours between the date of the agreement and August 1, 1910, to become effective when no less than 7,060,000 spindles have been signed up. REPORTS FAVOR DECREASE. Reports from different sections of New England indicate that the proposition of the Arkwright club is meeting with an j encouraging response. Such a curtail-j ment, however, is not likely to become effective in this state in the immediate future, as many of the mills that will sign an agreement will be unable to fill pre lent orders without steady running un til z’ell into January. 1 le Rhode Island and Fall River man ufacturers are, as a rule, willing to cur tail prdduction, providing that they are not called upon to withhold goods while outside centers continue to run in full. The curtail movement is of great inter est In New Bedford and other places : where the operatives have been refused a restoration of a 19 per cent cut in wages i made In 1908. It is suggested that If the . New Bedford manufacturers are in sym- | pathy with the 30 day closing movement, | the effect of a strike In that city would be partially nullified. • SOUTH PROBES PLAN. The curtailment has also been taken up by the southern cotton mill owners. Yes terday the board of governors of the American Cotton Manufacturers’ associa tion, at a meeting in Charlotte, N. C., adopted resolutions setting forth their claim that the present disparity between the price of cotton and cotton goods pre cludes the possibility of the successful; operation of southern mills. A committee was appointed to formulate a curtailment agreement which every mill in the south will be urged to signe. In certain cotton producing and selling centers the claim is made that the present curtailment movement is largely an at tempt to hold down the price of the sta ple. The officials of the operatives' un ion in several New England cities profess to see In the campaign an attempt to avoid an advance in wages, but the of ficials of the Arkwright club deny that the wage question has anything to do with their existing plans. The cotton mills of New England, In cluding yarn mills, employ upwards of 200,000 hands. FIND REMEDY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE In the accidental discovery of the black ; fungus, peach growers believe they have • at last found a successful remedy for the I San Jose scale, one of the worst foes of! the orchard. This fungus was first discovered In i Florida, where orange growers used it ! in combating a certain infection in their groves. It grows on the limbs of trees, and produces a light feathery growth which the wind blows to other trees. This growth, thus blown by the wind, lands | on the scale-infected trees and kills the , scale. Hitherto orchardmen have depended on sprays to kill the scale. This method Is I nut infallible, and is very expensive. The I fungus eliminates expense and works Its : own cure without aid. Recognizing the great value of this fun-1 gus, if it accomplishes the results ciaim-1 ed to Georgia orchardmen, President H. 1 C. Bagley, of the Georgia fruit exchange, has written various people who have tried It, for their opinion of its practical value. W. H. Harris, of Fort Valley, In | reply to one of these letters, says that; the fungus was put in the old Dietzen or- , chard there three years ago. This orchard • was badly infected with scale, but now, with little cultivation, the scale has prac-1 tically disappeared. C. M. Griffing, of Jacksonville, a nur seryman, In his reply, says that the fun fus has done away with spraying in one orchard he knows of. He says the run- j gus thrives best where there is plenty of humidity. COMMITTEE PLEASED WITH STATE COLLEGE MILLEDGEVILLE.

Well, whether you have or not. a well known resident of Baltimore, Md., made this large purchase at the store of A. E- Marcus company, on Peachtree street Saturday. And now he Is making an ef fort to locate the owner of the money, ring, fob and pin in an effort to return them all. The finder of the valuables was a visi tor to Atlanta last week and on Saturday entered the establishment of E. A. Mar cus to buy a suit of clothes. After look ing over the stock he picked out a nice looking suit and tried it on. As it fit him well he ordered It sent to th* Piedmont hotel, where he was stopping. When he tried on the clothes he did not look in the pockets and for this reason did not then discover the money. He had no cause to wear th* new suit before leaving Atlanta and did not put it on until Wednesday when he reached Baltimore. Immediately after changing clothes he began changing his pocket book and papers from his old clothes to the new and then it was that h* discov ered the pocket book containing th* money, the ring and watch fob. He was very much surprised at pulling so many valuables from h new suit and wa* at a loss to explain just how they had got ten there.

It is believed that when the Savannah resident was try ing on the clothes he changed his money from his old suit upon leaving the dress ing room to go out to the mirror. Patrons often do this rather than leave their mon ey in their suit of clothes in a diffrent part of the house, and this is given as the explanation in this mysterious case. No one has complained to the clothing store about losing their money, and they are at a loss as to who lost it. Probably the loser has complained to his hotel pro prietor and reported the matter to the po lice, but naturally did not think of leav ing his pocketbook in a suit of clothes at a clothing store. The finder of the valuables is a member of Acca Temple, Mystic Shrine, and upon finding the shrine pin in the suit with the money he at once set about to locate the proper owner. Immediately after finding them he wrote the Atlanta firm and told them just what he had found in the clothes and requested them to aid him in the search for the proper owner.
