A THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1913. Old Fashioned Spring Tonic Is the Best J (From National Health Journal.) Statistics show that not one person in fifty emerges from the strains of winter in good health. Due to various causes the system becomes clogged with impurities and the liver, kidneys and bowels fail to perform their func tions properly. As a result we have faded, sallow complexions, liver spots, "spring fever,” lost appetite, no energy —in fact, feel sick without knowing the .cause. For correcting these disorders there is nothing so far discovered to equal the old-fashioned kardene tonic which can be made at home at small cost. Get an ounq*» of kardene from any druggist and dissolve in one-half pint alcohol, then add one-half cupful sugar and hot water to make a quart. A tablespoonful before each meal soon rids the system of impurities, clears the skin and restores the whole body to its normal, healthy condition. (Advt.)

D180, CHICAGO Your words of commendation are Highly appreciated, for certainly every effort Is made to make the agricultural columns of The Journal of service each week to the subscribers, and if this end is baing accomplished the management feel well repaid for the effort and ex pense put into the undertaking. - The amount of the different ingredi ents needed t&iich you mention to make a 9-3-4 fertilizer will depend on the composition of the goods you propose to mix together. Using 16 per cent acid, blood which contains 14 per cent of available nitrogen, cotton seed m*eal which contains 6.18 per cent of nitro gen, 2.5 per cent of phosphoric acid and 2 per cent of potash, and muriate of potash containing 50 per cent of avail-, able potash, you can prepare a formula such as you have in mind by mixing to gether 1,150 pounds of acid phosphate, 300 pounds of blood, 400 pounds of cot ton seed meal and 150 pounds of muriate of potash. This formula will contain per ton approximately 104 pounds of available phosphoric acid, 67 pounds of available nitrogen and 83 pounds • of available potash. You should be able to buy available nitrogen at about 13 to 14 cents a pound, available phosphorus at 3.5 to 4 cents, and available potash at 4 to 5 cents a pound. Of course, you understand the market fluctuates consid erably and {he price you will have to pay will depend much on the quantity you desire to buy, the terms undpr which you buy, and the source from which you secure the materials. Nitro gen varies somewhat in cost according to the source from which it is derived, and your distance from the seaboard and from large shipping centers will also affect freight rates and costs as well. I think you are acting wisely in using as much as 500 pounds per acre of this formula, especially if your land has been well prepared. We would put not less than 300 pounds under the drill row and in the absence of vegetable matter use 200 pounds as a side applica tion. ♦ * * GROWING CORN ON SANDY LAND. W. C. B., Toomsboro, Ga., writes: I have six acres of low flat sandy land with yellow sand subsoil on which I wish to make a large croy of corn. I have a large amount of compost and would like to know how to use it. I also wish to grow some cotton on same type of land. Please tell me how to cultive and fertilize these crops. A low flat sandy soil is not likely to be well supplied with the essential ele ments of plant food, and m the absence of these large crops of corn and cotton will not be raised. Soil of this charac ter requires to be built up systematical ly in order to yield profitable returns to the farmer. You are therefore to l»e congratulated on the fact that you have a considerable amount of compost to use on your land. We would suggest that you apply from three to five tons per acre under the drill row. We would open up a very wide deep furrow when the soil is in good condition and put the compost therein. Then we would put 300 pounds of the fertilizer per acre in the drill row and mix the fertilizer, com post and soil thoroughly together so as to make a wide deep bed for the roots of the corn and cotton plant to develop in and spread through in search of food and water. When the plant can develop a good root system it is in position to withstand drouth and to elaborate the food necessary to make a good yield of corn and cotton. We think 200 pounds of a side application will likely prove profitable on this land for both crops. It will almost certainly be advisable to apply nitfate of soda as a top dressing at the rate of 100 pounds per acre. For corn this( should be put on before it bunches to tassel, and for cotton about the first of July. A good formula for corn will be a 10-3-4 and for cotton a 9-3-3.

B rust on this land we would increase the potash to 4 per cent. * * * HOW t ONE FARMER WILL FER TILISE. F. G. J., Mauk, Ga., writes: I have broken my land with a one-horse Oliver plow. J am going to be*! up my rows cross the way I broke the land. I want to put six acres in corn and, want to put my rows four feet apart and plant the corn about two or three feet in the drill. I am also going to plant eight acres in cotton with the rows three feet apart. I want to buy and mix at the rate of one and one-half tons of acid, one and one-half tons of kainit and one ton of cotton seed meal. What will this analyze, and do you think it will do for corn and cotton, and how much should I use per acre? It will be a very good plan to lay the rows of your corn and cotton in the opposite direction to that from which you plowed the lard. We think it a good idea to plant the corn in four-foot rows, but we think you plan to leave the stalks further apart in the drill than is necessary. Our practice is to leave one stalk every 12 A or 15 inches where we use prolific varieties and plant on uplands. You understand, of course, th*at if you raise a big crop of corn and must plaftt relatively thick. Of course, this requires liberal fertilization and the rough cultivation in order to conserve moisture aiul to insuie the perfect de velopment of the crop. We would be disposed to use a somewhat different fertilizer formula on your corn and cot ton on land such as you propose to cultivate. A mixture of four tons com posed of one and one-half tons of 16 per cent acid, one tone of cotton seed meal and dne and one-half tons of kainit would give you a formula consisting of 6.6 per cent of available phosphorus, 1.54 per cent of available nitrogen and 5.2 per cent of available potash. This for mula would not be well balanced as it contains more potash than is necessar; in our judgment, but not enough of phos- pbosphoric acid and nitrogen, though of course you propose to add quite ma terially to the nitrogen through the use of nitrate of soda and a top dressing. We believe it would be better, however, to cut do-.vn the amount of kainit by 1,000 pounds and add 500 pound.*, to the acid phosphate and 500 pounds to the cotton see meal. Corn makes a heavier draft on the food constituents of the soil trou cotton, and we believe it will pay you to use 500 jjounds per acre un der it, putting 300 pounds under the drill at the time of planting and mixing well with the subsoil. Any vegetable matter which you can secure to use with the corn will be of grea^ benegt to it. Put 200 pounds of the fertilizer on as a »side application and use nitrate of soda as a top dressing. v For cotton wo think with the amend ed fertilizer that 500 pounds per acre with 100 pounds or nitrate of soda will answer ver^ well. We would put 300 pounds under the drill row and mix well with the subsoil before bidding. Bed lightly on this, and put the side appli cation and nitrogen on as suggested. * * # PLANT FOOD NEEDED BY SUGAR CANE. V. H., Gretna, Fla., writes: What fer tilizer would you advise me to use on cane and corn? Which is worth the most a ton of 6-4-5 at $34.00 or a ton of 8-2-2 at $24.00? I have made good cane using a ton of 8-2-2 to the acre. We would consider the 6-4-5 a more economical fertilizer to buy at the price mentioned than the 8-2-2. In fact in our experience all high grade fertilizers are relatively cheaper than low grade formulas. We can not think that an 8-2-2 is as wll adapted for corn or cane as a formula of a different character. We think for corn a formula containing about '9 to 10 per cent of phosphorus, 3 to 3.5 per cent of nitrogen and <#4 to 5 per cent* of potash about right. For cane we think about a 9-4-5 should be used. The potash foi> the cane crop should be derived from sulphate of pot ash. The muriate may be used as a source of this material for corn. We think it desirable that a part of the nitrogen be derived from organic and a part from inorganic sources for both crops. We have suggested the use of two very high grade formulas but we do this with the idea that your land is rather thin and sandy. Moreover, if you find it necessary to use a ton of 8-2-2 to secure satisfactory results, we are inclihed to think you willl find it profitable to use from 1,-000 to 1,500 pounds of the type of formulas sug gested. * * * ••AN UNUSUALLY GOOD SOIL. G. S. B. f Sheffield, Ala./ writes: I have some lime and clay soil which was in oats and peas, and late in November was sown down Jn rye. I will turn that under and want to know the best formula for corton on this land. You are fortunate in having some clay soil well impregnated with lime, and soils of this type are, as a rule, above the average in fertility, or if not may be easily improved.* Growing peas on the land even though they were cut for hay would add some nitrogen and a small amount of vegetable matter to the land. Following this with a rye crop was good practice as the growing plants will gather and hold the nitrates which might be in solution and other wise lost from the land through leach- UPSET? “GABCARETS” Bilious, throbbing headache means Bowels are clogged and liver stagnant You’re bilious; you have a throbbing sensation in your head, a bad taste in your mouth, your eyes burn, your skin is yellow, with dark rings under your eyes; your lips are parched. No wonder you feel ugly, mean and ill-tempered. Your system is full of bile not properly passed off, and what you need is a cleaning up inside. Don’t continue being a bilious nuisance to yourself and those who love you, and don’t resort to harsh physics that irritate and injure. Re member that most disorders of the stomach, liver and intestines can be quickly cured by morning with gentle, thorough Cascarets—they work while you sleep.

Children love to take Cascarets, because they taste good and never gripe or sicken. .(advt.) ing due to the heavy rains of the win ter. Turn the rye under as soon as possible. It has now no doubt made considerable growth and it is very de sirable that it be plowed down before it becomes too rank. This crop ma tures very rapidly, as you know, and pumps out of the soil a great quantity of water leaving it rather dry and in a hard, compact condition. On this ac count when a rye crop is plowed under late in th,e season the land requires a large amount of working in order to bring it in good condition for plants. By plowing the „rye under early you avoid this difficulty. We would sug gest that you try on this land an 8-3-3 formula for cotton. Apply not less than 300 pounds under the drill row at the time of planting, and use 200 pounds as a side application. We hardly think you will find it necessary to use nitrate of soda, though the development made by the crop will enable you to definitely determine this point later on in the season. If you have noticed a tendency for the soil to grow an unusually large stalk of cotton and a slowness of ma turity on part of the crop, we would be inclined to cut down the nitrogen from one-half to one per cent, and in crease the phosphorus from one to two per’ cent. * * * PLANTING CORN ON SUBSOILED LAND. I. W. .Milner, Ga., writes: I have two acres of good land that has been turned and subsoiled that I want to put In corn this year, and as I have no manure to apply would like to know what guano to use. How thick should I plant Has tings’ Prolific Corn? The land is upland and was in cotton last year. Whcih is the cheapest, to buy the ingredients and mix a fertilizer or buy the guano ready mixed? The mixed costs for a 10-2-2 $22 and. for ' a '‘10-2-4 Which la the cheapest for cotton and corn on gray land? We would suggest that you use as a minimum application for corn where you are desirous of obtaining an extra yield about 600 pounds per acre. If you de sire to grow the corn on gray land which contains any considerable per cent, of sand, we would suggest that you use a 10-2-4 with at least 100 pounds of ni trate of soda used as a top dressing at least two weeks before the corn bunches to tassel. Corn loves a soil which con tains a considerable amount of vegetable matter and it is a plant requiring more liberal fertilization than cotton. It also responds well to the use of a fertilizer which contains an unusually large amount of nitrogen, and we feel certain that a formula containing only 2 per cent, of this ingredient contains the minimum amount of this element you can afford to use. We would use about 300 to 400 pounds under the drill row at the time of planting and mix it thor oughly well with the subsoil, though this is not so important in your case as you have already broken the land to a good depth. We would then use 200 pounds as a side application about the second time the corn is cultivated. Give shallow cultivatioh to the crop. The variety of corn you mention should do well on uplands. We prefer the pro lifle sorts for growth on soils of this character. In fact they have outyielded very considerably the big-eared sorts in all the tests we have made in our dem onstration field. The prolific corn tends to stool much more freely than the big- eared varieties, and on that account thick planting is desirable. We, would make the rows four to four and a half feet apart and plant the corn so as to leave the stalks about fifteen inches apart in the drill. There is little to choose between the formulas mentioned in your letter at the prices indicated. The desirability of mixing a fertilizer at hoi^e depends on the quantity you desire to buy, your distance from the seaboard, and your ability to* pay cash for the material. Where you can buy in carload lots you should investigate very carefully into the advantages of home mixing. If the work is done at home the ingredients should be thoroughly admixed. There is no reason why you should not prepare a fertilizer such as you have in mind by using cotton seed meal as the basis, aqd acid phosphate and muriate of pot ash as the other ingredients. You should be able to buy these materials at a rea sonable cost. * * • FERTILIZERS FOR PEBBLY SOILS. A. L. R., Abba, Ga., writes: I want to use five tons of fertilizer and want to know what to mix together. Will use 500 poynds per acre/ My land is light pebbly with yellow subsoil and has been in cultivation five or six years. What variety of corn wouktf you recommend for south Georgia? You can make a very good formula for corn and cotton for use on land such as you describe by buying and mix ing together the following ingredients: 5,000 pounds of acid phosphate, 4,500 pounds o$ high-grade cotton seed meal, and 500 pounds of muriate of potash. The cotton seed meal should analyze 6.18 per cent of nitrogen, 2.5 per cent of phos phoric acid and 2 per cent of potash. The muriate of potash should contain 50 per cent of available potash. This formula when used at the rate of 400 to 500 pounds under cotton and 500 to 600 pounds under corn should prove quite satisfac tory. You understand that the return obtained from the fertilizer 4 depends very much on the amount of vegetable mat ter in the soil. ^If you have not been rotating your crops or plowing under le gumes, and if you have no yard" manure or leafmold to use, you will not secure as good returns from fertilizer as where these materials can be had in abund ance. For south Georgia conditions we think you will find the Whatley corn will an swer very well. This, is a prolific type and you should be able to secure f seed without difficulty. It.has been produced under conditions quite similar to those prevailing in your section of the state. You understand that we do not attempt to guarantee results from any variety of seed we recommend. We are simply doing our best to test out varieties of farm seeds offered for sale throughout the state, and to express.opinions as to’ their relative merits based on these tests. We can offer no guarantee expressed or implied that in purchasing seed from some persons you will secure the type and quality of seed you have in mind. You understand perfectly that seeds sometimes masquerade under false names and that some persons may sell types of seeds which are not reliable. One must use his discretion and good judg ment in purchasing these seeds and should deal only with reliable parties. * * * SCORCHED COTTON SEED MEAL. A correspondent, Union Point, Ga. writes: I have an opportunity to buy a lot of scorched and some badly burned cotton seed meal at reduced prices. What is the value of such meal for fertilizing purposes? Would also like a formula for fertilizing pecan trees. They are about seven years old and have not grown as well as they should. The pecans on average red soil of this sec tion. The value for fertilizing purposes of cotton seed meal which has been burned or scorched would be difficult to esti mate, and could only be told with any degree of accuracy by chemical analy sis. Certainly if the meal has been exposed to fire sufficiently to scorch it some of • the nitrogen must have been lost. If the meal has only been slight ly scorched, no doubt it is about as USE THE PARCEL POST FOR SHIPPING POULTRY Big Money and Time Saver, Insures Safe, Quick Delivery of Goods-Small Cost The parcel post has paved a new way for shiping eggs for hatching, as they can be had more quickly, and it will do far greater than this. It will have a tendency to reduce the sale of many cheap eggs, such as are often sold at one dollar per setting. The shipper can not afford to pay postage and furnish shipping cases and sell eggs at such a low price. These eggs are not cheap at any price to one who desires the best. They are not worth the time of a fir$t- class breeder bothering with them, espe cially this is not the price to pay for foundation stock. The time has come when our southern farmers and breeders get the best, and don’t mind paying for it. Highdass ex hibition and utility stock eggs sell for from $3 to $5 and $10 per setting. In this respect the parcel post plays an important part in raising the qual ity of the breeding stock all over the south. The best thing about the parcel post is the quick delivery, especially to rural districts. # The buyer can wire the breed er and receive eggs in about 12 hours. How many times do we have to stop our work and go to the express office and find no eggs? Time and worry* will be saved now by parcel post. The biggest demand ever exhibited Is now on for eggs for hatching and will continue through the season. Let everyone get busy now for the rush season. Patronize th e parcel post. Or der your eggs, set your hens, load up your incubators. Deal by parcel post and have eggs delivered quicker and much safer. Having tried both methods of shipping, I am convinced that parcel post is safer and cheaper. Another important point is to adver tise—not a little, but keep your name before the readers all the time. Adver tise that you will send by parcel post. good as low-grade meal, that is, it would probably contain in the neighborhood of 5 per cent of nitrogen, whereas a good rade would run 6 per cent. If it was a low grade meal to begin with. I would desire to purchase it for myself on the bas(s of at least 1 per cent less nitrogen than the undamaged meal was guaran teed to contain. I have no doubt this meal can be purchased at a price which would make its use for fertilizer. pur poses fairly profitble. The price you can afford to pay would be in our judg ment about two-thirds as much as for the undamaged meal. If the meal is black- and has a charred appearance I would not be willing to pay even this much for it. Pecan trees should be liberally fer tilized where one desires to hasten for ward the growth and a high-grade for mula is desirable. We would advise that you use about 8 or '9 per cent of phosphorus, 3.5 to 4 per cent of nitro gen and 6 per cent of potash on soil of the character described in your let ter. We think from five to ten pounds should be applied per tree. It should be put in a circle around the tree about two feet from the trunk. * * * TURNING UNDER RYE. J. B. W., Brooks, Ga., writes: I sowed some rye last fall with the intention of turning under this spring and planting corn, but my neighbors tell me it will sour the land* turned under green, as they say there is not sufficient lime in our soil to sweet'bn 'it. I would like to have your opinion of this, also in what stage ought the rye to be when turned under? I am thinking of using 500 pounds of a 9-3-3 fertilizer for cotton Should it all be applied at one time?

Grow V/2 Bales Cotton Where Only 1 Grew Before One to one-and-a-half and even two bales of cotton, or 60 to 90 bushels of corn per acre, require little more labor than smaller yields.

Box 1117 RICHMOND - • VIRGINIA 1A More than a bale per acre Rye may be turned under without dan ger of souring the land if the work is properly do-ne. We expect to turn un der considerable areas of rye on the col lege farm this spring for the purpose of soil improvement. This practice has? been, followed by us with success, for many years. It is best to turn the rye under very shortly now for if it was planted early last fall it should now have made a growth of at least on foot high. Rye, as you know, develops very quickly and will presently be shooting into head. As it matures it pumps out of the soil great quantities of water, and tends to leave the land dry and hard, and hence when turned under the soil is lumpy and requires much more labor to reduce it to a finely pulverized condition acceptable for planting to a crop such as corn and cotton. On this account, we advise the relatively early plowing under of rye. Remember that this should not be done until the land is in proper condition for plowing. Use a chain attached to the whiffle tree and colter so as to break the rye down flat, and turn it well, under. The land should then be disked in the direction the furrows are run and also harrowed. Compacting it after plowing is impor tant and if you can let it stand \ two or three weeks before planting so much the better. There is no objection to using lime on lands where rye has been turned under. A ton of the pulverized rock per acre will be found beneficial but it is’not es sential that you use it. Five hundred pounds Of a 9-3-3 fertilizer should answer very well for cotton. It is good prac tice to put 300 pounds under the drill row, and use 200 pounds as a side ap plication. Where one has considerable quantities of yard manure or litter to use under the drill row, or where the land is well supplied with vegetable mat ter all the fertilizer may be incorporat ed with the soil at the time of planting the crop. That was the rate of yield from Alabama soil top dressed, at the rate of 100 pounds per acre, with Nitrate of Soda It matures cotton before the boll weevil affects it.

When you know all there is to know about IHC wagons it is safe to say that your next wagon will bear the IHC trademark—the stamp of quality and honest value. Every piece of wood used in I H C wagons is carefully selected and air- dried. Only in air-dried lumber does wood retain its full strength and elastic ity. All steel or iron is selected with the same care to secure the greatest possible strength. Thorough knowl edge of the strain each part must stand is necessary because a wagon, like a chain, is no stronger, than its weakest part. Every part of I H C wagons Weber New Bettendorf Columbus Steel King has the same relative strength. The men who build IHC wagons know why one part is built stronger than another, know the exact strain it will have to bear. This same thorough knowl edge has enabled them to build a wagon of light draft, which puts the least strain on the J|1 j2i»Iimdi'M It i:-' <IH »UH horses, without impairing the strength or durability of the wagon. The finishing touch, the thing /that adds to the life and appearance of an I H C wagon, is pure paint. Cheap paint may improve the appearance of a wagon for a short time, but after that is a positive detriment. Only pure paint is used on I H C wagons. It fills the pores of the wood, prevents shrinking, swelling, warp- mg and twisting, and acts as a wood preservative. ~ There are many other reasons why IHC wagons are such good wagons. Weber and Columbus wagons have wood gears; New Bettendorf and Steel King have steel gears. Have the I H C local dealer show you an IHC wagon, or, write to us for catalogues.
