THE KITCHEN GARDEN The season is at hand when the gardener must hie forth with the spade, hoe and rake to engage in his fascinating occupation. The prepara tion of the land is one of the most important steps in the growth of vege tables which must be developed quick ly to be succulent and palatable. Where the area of ground is very small the spade must be resorted to for turning and loosening it. On larger areas the plow should always be used. On light soils deep plowing is not essential, but on heavy soils a thorough stirring of •the land becomes very desirable. It is not necessary for the owner of a small lot to maintain some one to work the ground and after it is thoroughly har rowed the planting and cultivating is best done by hand, for, of course, gar dening to be successful must be car ried on along intensive lines. After the ground has been thorough ly prepared it should be well manured for most crops. This may be accorm plished in one of several ways. There is a good deal of litter accumulating on every place and a little compost heap should be made at the beginning of the season and all trash thrown thereon. The mass should be forked over two of three times during the year. By the following winter a mass of rich, soft friable earth will have been accumulated. There is nothing better to put in the drill rows and mix with 'the soil before planting most seeds. If one can not have a compost heap then some stable manure should be secured. It is desirable that it be well rotted. By one or both of these means vegetable matter may be se cured in sufficient quantity. Next, artificial fertilizers should be selected. As garden crops must be planted both early and late in the sea son when there is likely to be heavy dashing rains there is some danger of ordinary forms of nitrogen being leach ed out of the soil. On this account the gardener should resort to the use or organic nitrogen in large measure, especially where it is to be incorporated with the soil. There is nothing better for this, purpose than cotton seed meal. It *is relatively cheap, highly efficient as a carrier of nitrogen, and becomes quiokly enough available to meet the needs* of most garden crops, especially when it is supplemented with nitrate of soda as a component part of the fer tilizing mixture or through using as a top dressing. • Some 700 to 900 pounds of cotton seed meal may be mixed with phosphorus and potash in providing a suitable formula for the garden it being understood, of course, that nitrate of soda will be used as a top dressing at the rate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre. The fcotton seed meal will be mixed with the soil and the nitrate used as a top dressing, say once every two or three weeks throughout the. growing period. The applications should be relatively light and rather frequent to secure the best results. A good formu la should contain from 8 to 10 per cent of phosphoric acid, 3 per cent and upwards of nitrogen, and from .6 to 8 per cent of potash. For very sandy lands the potash had best be increased to 10 per cent, es pecially for such crops as potatoes. Lib eral fertilization is desirable. The mini mum application should be 500 pounds per acre, but for practically all garden and truck crops at least 1,000' pounds should be used. If there is difficulty in securing a high enough percentage from cotton seed meal or other organic car riers of this element, the gardener may mix his material together by sacks so that he can secure any percentage for mula desired. It is a simple matter to do this because as a rule the gardener is not operating on a larg^ tract of l$nd, and hence after all comparatively small amounts of fertilizer are required. It is important to bear in mind that a high- grade cotton seed meal should be select ed and that where this is done it will carry in addition to the nitrogen 2 to 2.5 per cent of phosphoric acid and 1.75 to 2 per cent of potash. In preparing the formula consideration should be given to these plant food factors. The next proposition is to lay the gar den off into proper proportions. One must decide first of all what crops he desires to grow and the amount of ground he would like to devote to each. Having done this the ground should be prepared in the form best calculated to suit the needs of each crop. For Irish potatoes a good trench should be made and the manure or compost placed there* in. Then scatter the fertilizer along the drill row and mix both manure and fer tilizer well with the subsoil by means of a hoe, or in a large garden a bull-tongue will answer very well. Plant the pota toes and draw the rows together. The rows in a highly specialised garden should be rather close together for most of the . work is to be done with a hoe; therefore do not make them over eigh teen inches apart except for such crqps probably as corn and potatoes. These crops should be planted in 2 1-2 to 3-foot rows, but other crops may be planted be tween the rows which will develop later on, or better still, the garden should be laid out so that a succession may be fol lowed, and two or three crops raised on the same area of ground each year. Among the crops which may be planted very soon are Irish potatoes, cabbage anud cauliflower plants, onions, radishes, lettuce, spinach, mustard, beets and peas. Of course, only the hardy varieties of pears, such as the Alaska, should be planted now. The hot bed or cold frame shbuld be requisitioned Immediately and such seeds as egg-plant, peppers, toma toes, etc., planted therein to be later transplanted to the open ground. Through the use of the cold frame the garden may be made to produce these crops from a month to six weeks earlier than would otherwise be possible. * * M TREATING OPEN WOUNDS. J. W. P., Lexington, Ga., writes: A mule belonging to a neighbor was very badly cut with barbed wire a few* days ago, on the inside of its hind leg. It bled free. What would you suggest in way of treatment, and what do- you think of sewing a cut of this kind? ^n treating wounds the first effort is generally made to form a clot. This may be accomplished in one of several ways. As soon as the bleding is ar rested the wound should be thoroughly disinfected and cleansed with a solu tion of one part of carbolic acid to thirty parts of water. Waite lotion is also excellent and powdered antiseptics, such as finely puverized acetanilide or idoform dusted on the surface ma.y be used to advantage. It is best in treat ing wounds in animals not to ligature them for the reason that the animal can not be controlled and is almost certain to tear the ligature out and re open the wound. Wounds in animals are thus best healed as a rule by gran ulation. When the wound is of a na ture that the edges can be drawn to gether and held by bandages, thus much is likely to prove satisfactory provided the wound is thoroughly cleansed and irrigated before bound up. It must be protected from dirt or else suppuration is liable to set in. In that event lunar cautic or some other material should be used to burn out the proud flesh. It is not desirable to use water directly on a cut. Where cuts are on the legs it is sometimes difficult to stop the bleeding. The effort should then be made to form a clot, as suggested. Flour may be used for this purpose, or slightly astringent sub stances can be used to advantage, such bs alum or tincture of chloride of iron. The principal thing in treating a wound 'is to keep it thoroughly cleansed and protected from dirt. K * * RAW GROUND PHOSPHATE. F. F. F., Fort Valley, Ga.. writes: Please advise me if you know* any thing of the value of raw ground phos phate rock from experiments made in Georgia. Practically all the informa tion 1 can secure comes from the Illi nois Experiment Station. Quite a number of inquiries have been answered with reference to the use of ground rock phosphate in Geor gia. The experiments made on the col lege farm up to this time and at other points in the state would indicate that where availability in plant food is re quired that acid phosphate probably has some considerable advantage over rock phosphate. Our tests, of course, are in their initial stages, and we can not undertake to offer a definite opinion. We would advise the farmers, how ever, to go slowly with the rock phos phate except under certain conditions. Where the farmer has an abundance of yard manure and can mix with it in the stable a few pounds of phosphate each day, he can use this material to advantage. Where his land has been rotated and has been made rich by plowing under green legu minous crops rock phosphate can be used to some advantage. In the ab sence of these conditions the acid phos phate has apparently given the most profitable return to the farmer. We can not judge of the advisability of using ground phosphate rock in Georgia by results obtained in Illinois. Many of the tests in that state were conducted on the alluvial soils of the Mississippi river which are very black and extremely deep and have been in the process of formation for centuries. The soils of Illinois were naturally very much richer than those of Geor gia and they are of great depth. Nat urally soils derived so largely from decaying vegetable matter are' not likely to be so well supplied with phosphates as some other types of land. It is not surprising therefore that in the presence of great quantities of de cayed organic matter rock phosphate should have given good results in Illi nois. * * * RATION FOR A DAIRY COW. E. F. H., Hattiesburg, Miss., writes: I have a Jersey cow which will be two years old this month with her first calf, which is .three months old. She broke her leg when a calf and was neglected, but she gives five quarts of very rich milk. I feed her equal parts of cotton seed meal and shorts and a little corn chops. Also give her all the hulls she will eat "and timothy hay at night. I tried alfalfa, but it did not seem fo agree with her. We have to keep her up all the time. Am I feeding her properly and is she giving all the milk of which she is capable with her first calf? Your heifer is doing very well, indeed, if she is giving five quarts a day, as this is equivalent to between 10 to 11 pounds. Of course, a mature cow should give more milk than this, but a heifer. with her first calf seldom makes anything like the best record of which she is .capable. In this instance your cow has been bred too young, and in view of the injury she received, it is surprising that she is doing as well as you indicate. Give her as much fresh green feed as possible and keep her on good pasture. In addition, a combination of equal parts of cotton seed meal and bran should be fed. If she cares for hulls in addition to the green feed let her have as much as she wille at up clean. Alfalfa hay should be much su perior to timothy as a source oj rough ness for a cow. Surely the alfalfa you used was not of good quality or else she would have eaten it with avidity and to her adavntage as a milk-producing animal. We think ordinarily about one pound of grain per 100 pounds of live weight is the right amount of grain to feed. For heavy milkers a pound and a*half may often be used to advantage. You should give the cow all she will eat, but do not try to force her too much, as you are liable to produce indigestion, thereby and lose rather than gain by forced feeding. ' A variety in the ration is desirable. Be sure that the state is kept in a sanitary condition and the manger cleaned out before each feed. When you put your cow on grass, you will still probably find it desirable to feed the grain mixture suggested above. * * * FATTENING A MULE. T. .T. P., Rebecca, Ga., writes: I have a mule seven years old that I want to fatten. I feed him on corn and mixed feed and fodder. He is sluggish most all of the time. Would like to know what to do for him. Horses and mules frequently suffer from indigestion and on that account fail to fatten. Of course, there is a great deal of individuality in animals and some will not lay on flesh no matter what effort is made to fatten them. We would suggest that you examine the teeth of your mule and be sure that they are in good condition. We advise that you give him as much range at night as possible. In other words, turn him out to pasture. Give him green feed in moderate amounts whenever you can. Instead of feeding corn alone, mix say 500 bounds of corn with 100 pounds of oats and 100 pounds of cotton seed meal. Feed this at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds per day, depending on the weight of the animal. All rations are based on 1,000 pounds of weight, and should be in creased or decreased as the animal rises above or falls below this figure. Give clean, bright roughness. Keep the man ger thoroughly cleansed and the stable free from flies, which are irritating at all times. Flies may be kept out by means of screens or a cloth tacked over the window, but which is not thick enough to exclude the air. A tonic con dition powder will often be found very helpful. * »> i, A COMPARISON OF TOP DRESSERS. H. B., Barnesville, Ga., writes: How does ammonium sulphate compare with nitrate of soda as a top dressing for oats? I hear farmers talking about cot ton seed meal guano giving out before the crop is matured. Is this true? We are mixing out guano this year and us ing 200 pounds 16 per cent acid phos phate, 100 pounds cotton seed meal and 20 pounds muriate of potash. Our lands are gray, light mulatto and some red. How would this fertilizer suit for them? We have used ammonium sulphate as a top dressing on oats with very good results. We feel sure that better results will be obtained when it is applied to land containing a considerable amount of lime or to which lime has recently been applied. In other words, if lime were applied to the cowpea crop or the corn crop occupying the land previous to the sowing of the peas, we believe the. sulphate will give better results even than we obtained and we think under these conditions it can be used as a source oi nitrogen for top dressing to very good advantage, for, as you know, the nitrogen in this material becomes quickly dissolved in the soiil, though it must undergo fermentation so as to transfer the ammonia into a nitrate and thus make it most readily assimilable SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION COLUMBIA, S. C., April 10.—Crop con ditions in South Carolina as a whole are j satisfactory. The rains of the spring have kept planting operations back, but now soil preparation is in full swring all over the state and the seed bed will be in uniformly a better condition this year than for several years. In the Peedee section the soil preparation is ideal. In the Piedmont farm work has not been quite so active but is progressing nicely. The state will plant, under most fa vorable auspices, by far the largest acre age that has ever been devoted to to bacco. More grain, particularly rye and oats, was planted this year than ever in the history of the state, and a maximum harvest is practically assured. More cover crops have been grown this past winter than ever before. Cotton planting is backward as yet, everywhere in the state. It is very likely that no greater acreage than in 1912 will be planted in cotton. The corn acreage will be very largely increased, and there is every reason to expect a most material increase in the average yield per acre. The influence in this direction of the national corn expo sition is most marked. Early truck and berries are doing well. The early peach crop promises to be a good one. by, plants. As the use of lime is now steadily increasing in Georgia we believe sulphate of ammonia can be applied more and more to advantage. There is no reason why fertilizer con taining cotton seed meal should give out sooner than that prepared through using other carriers of nitrogen. The nitrogen in cotton seed meal becomes quickly enough available to meet the needs of all long seasoned crops, and as it becomes probably somewhat more slowly availa ble than nitrogen derived from several other materials, there is no reason why it should give out in the manner you have indicated. The chances are the far- mers referred to are not using enough fertilizer on their land or they are using a low grade material, and as a result there is not enough plant food available to meet the needs of the growing crop. Hence towards the end of the season when plant food is harder to obtain and the crop is making greater demands on the fertility of the land than at any other period of its life history, it begins to shed leaves and bolls and the con clusion is naturally reached that the fer tilizers is giving out. The trouble re- ferred to is, however, due to an entirely different thing in our judgment. If the farmers will enrich their land through plowing under green crops or by the use of yard manure or compost and then use a better balanced form of fertilizer In larger amounts, we feel certain that they will experience less trouble with the so- called giving out of cotton seed meal. The mixture you suggest is a very good one and sh'ould give good results on gray land. We are inclined to think it is somewhat higher in phosphoric acid than is probably necessary for either cotton or corn. If the above formula is used with a top dressing the cost of pro ducing the crop will be increased, but Wf think better yields will be obtained. The types of soils referred to in your letter are among the best for agricul tural purposes in the state, especially the mulatto and the dark red clay land. While these soils contain a considerable amound of potash much of it does not seem to be available. This difficulty can be overcome by the use of lime. ' Green crops will help to suppyl the deficiency in quickly available nitrogen, while the need of phosphoric can be met most sat isfactorily .through applications of this material directly to the soil. * o * TOP DRESSING WHEAT AND OATS. J. H. R., Mansfield, Ga., writes: Please let me know if it would pay to use ni trate o fsoda on wheat and oats, and also t>n corn at the present price. Would sulphate of ammonia do as well as che soda ? In our judgment it would pay you to apply nitrate of soda as a top dressing on winter wheat and oats. The nitrate should be put on immedaitely and ap plied after rather than before a rain and put on'when the leaves of the plants are dry so the acid will not burn them. M r e thifik about 100 pounds per acre can be used to advantage on wheat and oats. In some instances it will pay to use nitrate o fsoda as a top dressing on corn. The nitrate is qqite expensive, and therefore it is desirable to secure the nitrogen needed for all of these crops as completely as possible through the growth of legumes. As the price of nitrogen advances, our farmers will be more and more forced to secure their own nitrogen through growing legumin ous crops and applications of yard ma nure and compost. Sulphate of ammo nia is a good source of nitrogen on soils to which lime has been applied recently. We have had some \ T ery good results from applying it as a top dressing, and feel sure -frfom our experience that you will obtain better results if you use it with as much as one ton of ground limestone per acre put on six months or a year before .the sulphate is used. RESULTS OF FERTILIZER ADMIX TURE. H. J. C., Hoschton, Ga., writes: Would it pay me to mix a 10-2-2 formula with cotton seed meal in equal parts for corn and cotton and how much snould be used per acre? What would this formula an alyze? If you will mix together 2,000 pounds of 10-2-2 and 1,000 pounds of cotton seed meal, you will secure a formula containing in the 3,000 pounds of gross weight about 225 pounds of available phosphoric-acid, 101.8 pounds of availa ble nitrogen and 60 pounds of availa ble potash. This formula would analyze 7.5 per cent of phosphorus, 3.3 per cent of nitrogen and 2 per cent of potash. For use on all but the heaviest clay lands this mixture would be somewhat low in potash unless you have used lime on the land or are in position to do so. We would suggest, theerfore, that you incorporate with the mixture as much as 100 pounds of muriate of potash which would raise the nitrogen to over 3 per cent. We think this formula contains an abundance of phos phoric acid and a very good amount of nitrogen. We are inclined to think for heavy red clay land as much phosphor us and a little less nitrogen will an swer all right for cotton, though this formula will be found very good in our judgment for corn. SERVIA MAY ANNEX MONTENEGRO SOON (By Associated Press. - ) LONDON, April 10—King Nicholas, of Montenegro, has definitely arranged plans to abdicate his throne if force is employed by European power against his little kingdom. This announcement was made in official Montenegrin circles here today. Arrangements for this action were made by King Nicholas in consultation with King Peter of Servia. The agree ment provides that King Nicholas sl^ill abdicate and with his family quit his country. Montenegro will then effect a union j with Servia while King Nicholas and his • family will be given appropriate pro vision on the civil list and will reserve a right of succession to the Serbo- Montenegrin throne.

( Dapt. 3 CHICAGO, ILL* According to Agents, Rain Re tards Planting-Rotation Is Reported ATHENS, April 9.—Reports received at the Georgia State Qollege of Agricul ture from the sixty-odd farm demon stration agents working in the state, reveal that oats and other small grain crops in Georgia are in a flourishing condition, that farmers are behind with planting and soil preparation, but not as far behind as at this time last year, that greater interest than ever is now being taken in getting good seed to plant, the demand for which is greater than can be supplied; that more farmers are planning crop rotations and mixing fertilizers at home. While the latter part of March and the first few days of April discouraged the farmers with bad weather, the past week has been favorable and a great deal of seeding has been done through out the state. Some of the reports received ar* as follows: D. H. Smith-, Swains boro, says farmers are behind with planting. This year more interest is being taken in ro tation. F. R. Logue, Madison, says oats are promising, a good many farmers are mixing fertilizer at home and some are hauling leaves and rakings from the woods to thin spots on their lands. W. N. Manning, Funston, reports greater diversification of crops among demonstrators and calls attention to one • selling $800 worth of hogs at Moultrie which cost him only $200, and he has besides 100 pigs left. W. G. Middlebrooks, Walden, says that Interest in hogs is increasing and farmers are taking up the proposition of raising on their fan* all they con sume. K. C. Davis, LaGrange, reports small grain looking fine, that a bi-g area is to be put to corn and quite a demand is being made for improved seed. Gilford L. Harris, Fayetteville, reports that rains did damage to growing crops and farmers behind with planting. W. C. ewis, Wellston, finds farmers broadcasting their farms with leaves and mold to supply humus. J. S. Jones, Dawson, says oats are good, wheat poor. More cow peas and j soy beans are being sown. C. M. James, Columbus, finds greav | interest in boys’ corn club and girls’ i canning club work. Less corn and cotton is being plant ed by farmers in the region of George town, according to Agent W. A. Hill, but the farmers are using the same amount of fertilizer they applied on larger areas. W. T. Holliday,' reporting from Lump kin, says that oats are looking good. R. D. Gay, Cuthbert, says oats are promising and believes between 16 and 20 per cent more corn will be grown this year than last. E. S. Collins, Blakely, says that farm ers are showing increased interest in improved seed, both corn and cotton. J. A. Chastain, Thomasville, says farmers are well up with work, that there has been improvement in soil, preparation and the disk harrow is be ing used more. W. H. Bullard, Camilla, says that the corn area will be larger than heretofore and farmers want better seed. J. W. Arnold, Jr., Dry Branch, Twiggs county, says there is increasing inter est in growing general crops and some mixing of fertilizer. P. D. Johnson, Covington, is teaching farmers how to mix their own fertiliz ers, landing many of them quite willing to learn. B. J., Davis, of Taylorsville, says there are more oats and better oats. C. S. Cox, Cass Station, reports fur ther advanced than ordinarily Ufecause of increased fall plowing. He also finds better care and use of manure. J. F. Waters reports from Greenville that oats are good. S. M. Richardson, Hartwell, finds much interest in club work, grain look ing well and more harrows In use. E. T. Jackson, Carrollton, finds great interest in club work. * „ John T. Trapnall^ Metter, says oats are good, increased interest in forage crops especially in hog pasture. D. B. Eskew, Eastnallee, reports oats as fine as can be. James A. Booker, Fort Valley, finds a remarkably growing interest in home mixing of fertilizer. J. W. West, Fort Gaines, says oats are fine, increased planting of Irish and sweet potatoes, more peanuts being planted. Patrick H. Ward, Ochochuee, finds great interest in club work and a good prize list offered. J. T. Pittman, Bainbridge, says oats are looking good, farmers interested in dipping vats. Much interest in clubs. David Wicker, Americus, finds in creased interest in forage crops and small grain and interest in improved terracing. I RUINS OF DUDLEY CASTLE TARGET OF SUFFRAGISTS (By Associated Press.) DUDLEY, England, April 8.—Militant suffragettes early today attempted to blow up the ruins of historic Dudley bas- tle, parts of which date back to the eighth century. The inhabitants of the town were awakened by a loud explosion. A large force of police was dispatched to the castle, and on searching the surrounding grounds found some chemicals and blast ing powder. Most of the powder had failed to explode and the damage was not serious. Two old siege guns weighing a ton each, were thrown out of the embrasures of the castle by the explosion. Many of the windows of a group of ad jacent cottages were broken. “Votes for women and damn the con sequences,” was painted on one of the old cannon and “In honor of Mrs. Pank- hurst,” on another. A quantity of suf frage literature was scattered about. One account of the explosion says the militant suffragists loaded and fired one of the big guns, which was a relic of the Crimean war. It was a Russian can non captured at the siege of Sebastopol. 0>!i Handsoma Sufi to OBU» m Agents Write Today. Be the one in your town to get this astounding tailoring offer.

H C wagons Weber New Bettendorf Columbus Steel King are made of selected, high-grade material throughout. Come with us to the works where these wagons are built, and see the tremendous sheds where the lumber is air-dried—seasoned out of doors—for three years or more before it is used. Do you know the difference between air-dried and kiln-dried wood ? One process takes years of time, and leaves the fibres of the wood filled with and cemented together by the natural resinous residue of the sap. The other requires only a few days’ time, drives out all the sap, resin and all, and leaves the wood brittle and weak. Air drying produces elastic lumber, wagon parts that bend and give under loads and strains, but that come back to their original position when the strain is removed. Weber and Columbus wagons have wood gears; New Bettendorf and Steel King have steel gears.
