Soule, president State Agricultural College, Athens, Go. LIME IN ITS RELATION TO GEORGIA AGRICULTURE Much Interest is at present evidenced In the use of lime by Georgia farmers. In nature this material is found in the form of limestone rock and is known chemically as calcium carbonate. It placed in a kiln and burned carbonic acid is driven off. leaving the calcium oxide. During the process of heating the rock loses about half its original unavailable plant food materials into available forms, and it promotes the welfare of bacterial life without which, for instance, such crops as the legumes cannot be grown to the best advantage. Many of our Georgia soils seem to be acid, and the amount of lime required to correct this acidity will range from 80 to 1,000 pounds. In some instances weight. After burning the lime is in as much as ten tons would be needed, the form known as caustic lime, burnt but these are ver y exceptional cases, lime, builder's lime, or biting lime, ir Ordinarily from 1,000 to $i,500 pounds water be applied to the burnt lime it of burnt lime and from a ton to a ton combines with it and forms what is and a half of the ground limestone per known as calcium hydroxide, and this acre win be a sufficient amount to is the form which is ordinarily applied use - The lime need only be applied to the land when burnt lime is used, j onc ® in three to five years. When calcium hydroxide te left ex- » Where lime is used it is important posed to the air or incorporated with to remember that the humus content of the soil, it takes up carbon dioxide and the S °H should be maintained and in reverts to the form in which it is originally found in limestone rock. The advantage of burning and slaking is due to the fact that it leaves the lime in a very finely powdered condi tion, and. it may then be easily incor porated with the soil. Limestone rock is now being gener ally used in agriculture in the place of burnt lime. When so utilized it should be ground rather fine, so fine that at least two-thirds of it will pass through a sieve of 100 meshes to the inch, and it should contain no particles larger than a small grain of wheat. Grind ing the raw rock too fine is objection able as the small patricles tend to ad here to each other and form little Con cretions in the soil and this lessens the service the lime should render in the soil. It takes about twice as much of the ground rock as of the burnt lime to exert the same sweetening power in the Soil. Therefore, it j is largely a question of relative expense as to which form of lime the farmer had best use. There are certain objections to the use of the caustic lime in that it may set free an undue amount of nitrogen through transforming it into ammonia and thus causing it to escape into the air. This danger will not follow the use of the finely ground rock. It is very important to remember, however, that fhe raw rock not being quite so active as the burnt lime larger appli cations should be made,*' and the best results from using the raw rock will generally pertain on soils where there is a fair amount of vegetable matter. Some limestone contains a high per cent of magnesium. It does not make any difference apparently whether this form of rock be used in the southern part of the state or not, but in the northwestern part of Georgia a high- grade limestone would seem to be pref erable. Lime is obtained for agricultural pur- poses from several sources, namely, marble, limestone. dolomite, oyster shells or marl. The chances are that the highest per cent of calcium car bonate will be obtained from marble, and the next highest from oyster shells and limestone. The per cent of lime found in marl varies widely. Dolomite will ordinarily be about equal to limestone in efficiency. None of these materials should be used without a guaranteed analysis. The highe they run in calcium carbonate ordinarily the better. There are, of course, ma terials which might be used locally be cause of their cheapness or the ease with which they can be applied, but where shipment is to be made for a considerable distance only the highest grade of materials should be used. The need of life in a soil will be de termined by the litmus test. Secure from a drug store a little bottle of blue litmus paper. Remove the sur creased through applications of stable manure or the turning under of green crops. Lime tends to reduce the hu mus content of the soil, and in most instances our lands are already poorly supplied with this essential element. Lime should be applied after me ground has been plowed. It may be put on in the fall or in the spring. Where burnt lime is used, it is best to scatter it over the ground several weeks before planting the crop. Do not applj r it in the fall, however, and leave it on the land throughout the winter. The ground limestone may be applied almost any time of the year. It is so much easier to handle than the caustic lime that its use is recommended wherever practicable. Lime should never be plowed down aft er it has been scattered over the sur face, but worked in well with a har row. Do not mix lime and fertilizer together and let an interval elapse be tween the application of the lime and fertilizer. Where the burnt lime is used it must be slaked before applying. This may be done by the addition of water or by scattering in small piles over the field and covering with earth and letting stand for a few days. Grain drills may be used for the ap plication of lime, but the fertilizer box is ordinarily not large enough. There are drills on the market for the appli cation of lime. Where one expects to use this material o.n a large scale pne of these implements will* prove a prof itable investment. Lime is known to be beneficial to such as cantaloupes, peas, peanuts, beans, clovers, tobacco, sorghum, the winter cereals, grass and most fruits. It does not seem to be of particular service to such crops as rye, Irish po tatoes, millet, red top or cotton, and it is injurious to watermelons. It i3 thought by many to be of little benefit to corn, but in the majoriity of exper iments with which we are familiar, it has seemed to be serviceable to this croo. Lime should be applied in the rotation, therefore, ordinarily before the planting of legumes. The experiments made up to this time through the agency of the college would indicate a considerable benefit from the application of lime to Geor gia soils, and these results apply as well to south Georgia as to the north ern part of the state. There are only a limited number of % concerns handling lime in Georgia at the present time. The farmer should be able to secure the ground rock at a cost of $1 to $1.25 per ton f. o. b. the cars. The freight rates on lime seem to be unusually high in some instances. This matter should be taken up with the industrial representatives Of the various roads concerned. It is hoped that a good freight rate on lime may be obtained a* no distant date. A bulletin on this face soil very carefully to a depth of subject has been prepared by the state a couple of inches. Then take out a college of agriculture and will be sent handful of the soil and put in a clean fr-e of cost to all farmers in Georgia tin cup. Apply rain water sufficient applying for the same, to puddle the soil and then insert the litmus paper. If it changes to red in from fifteen to twenty minutes it shows that the soil is acid or sour and that the use of lime will be beneficial. It is important to remember that wa ter should not be used in making this test which may contain acid. This can be determining by testing it with the litmus paper before it is applied to the soil. Lime is valuable in Georgia soils for several purposes. First of all, the element calcium whic>i it contains may be necessary to the proper development of certain farm crops. Especially is this true of legumes. Lime also aids in correcting the sour condition of the soil. It aids in the transformation of CULTIVATION OF SUGAR CANE AND CABBAGE. S. E. D., Warrenton. Ga., writes: What is the best grade of fertilizer I can use on sugar cane and cabbage. I have some young oak trees that look healthy, but are not growing much. What fertilizer or manure should be used on them? A very good formula to use on cab bage may be prepared by mixing to gether 700 pounds of acid phosphate, 800 pounds of cotton seed meal, 200 pounds of nitrate of soda and 300 pounds of muriate of potash. This formula will analyze approximately 6.6 per cent of phosphorus, 4.3 per cent of nitrogen and 8.3 per cent of potash. You will see that it is very high in nitrogen and potash, Cut experience would indicate that a fertilizer containing a high per cent of these elements gives the best results under cabbage. We would sug gest the use of 600 to 1,000 pounds per acre. Of course, this fertilizer will give its best results on land to which a liberal coating of well decomposed yard manure has been applied. Various formulas for sugar cane may be used, but we are inclined to think you will find the following a very good mixture: 600 pounds of high grade acid phosphate, 500 pounds of cotton seed meal, 100 pounds of nitrate of soda and 100 pounds of sulphate of potash. This may seem to you a heavy applica tion, but you will find it advisable to fertilize this crop liberally on most soils. This formula will analyze 8 per cent of phosphorus. 4.5 per cent of ni trogen and 4.5 per cent of potash. W T e would reserve the nitrate of soda and apply it as a top dressing rather than mix it with the other ingredients and incorporate with the soil. For oak trees the fertilizer suggested for sugar cane will answer very well except possibly that it is a little low in potash. This difficulty may be over come by adding more potash. We would apply not less than 5 to 8 pounds around each tree, scattering it in a circle about two feet from the trunk, and mix well with the soil. * % * RATION FOR CALVES ON GRASS. T. B., Dodge City, Kan., writes: I have been feeding ninety head of calves since the first of January on the following: Five bushels corn, two bushels bran, one bushel shorts, two bushels cotton seed cake. I wish to know now what tn feed them when they go on grass. The hei fers I will take out of the bunch when grass comes, hut the steers I will continue to feed. I will have ground corn and crushed cake. I do not wish to crowd, but I want t\> keep the calves growing and putting on flesh when the proper time comes. When turning your cattle on grass we think only a moderate ration is necessary at • first, especially if the grass is in good condition. Of course, if you turn the animals on when it is very young and succulent, it is essential in our judgment to feed some grain from the beginning. We would think judging from the amount of grain fed during the winter that not over two pounds per day would be necessary. As the grass becomes better developed, though probably shorter *and less abun dant, we would increase the grain ra tion to four or five pounds. We think you should take a considerable period cf time to do this, and that possibly it will not pay you to feed over five or six pounds of grain per head per day for the last thirty days occupied in finish ing the cattle. Our policy in feeding cattle on blue grass has been to use a relatively small amount of grain and to adjust the grain ration in propor tion to the condition of the grass. We have not found it profitable to feed large amounts of grain to beef cattle, though a moderate ration has proven quite effective and satisfactory. We think it more essential to feed a grain ration to cattle which have be£n car ried through the winter under condi tions such as you have outlined than where they have been fed only on dry roughness and allowed to become rather thin and poorl We would mix the corn and crushed or ground cake in equal proportions, but toward the end of the fattening period you may use two-thirds corn and one-third cotton seed meal with advantage. * * * PERCENTAGE COMPOSITION OF A FORMULA. W. A. J., Pineora, Ga., writes: Flease tell me what the fololwing mixture will analyze: 100 pounds nitrate of osda. 500 pounds cotton seed meal, 600 pounds of kainit and 500 pounds of act'd phosphate. Each 1,700 pounds of the combination fertilizing materials about which you inquire would contain 47.5 pounds of nitrogen, 84 pounds of potash and 92 pounds of phosphorus. You can see at once that this would not be a well- balanced formula, being higher in potash than is necessary and lower in acid phosphate than is desirable. If you will reduce the kainit by 100 pounds and add 400 pounds more of acid phosphate so as to bring the total weight up to 2,000 pounds, you will im prove this formula considerably. This would add to the supply of phosphoric acid 64 pounds, making the total amount 156 pounds per ton. You would then have a formula containing about 8 per cent of phosphoric acid, 2.3 per Cent of nitrogen and 3.5 per cent of potash. * * SUMMER COVER CROPS. J. C. W., Molena, Ga., writes: I am going to so weight acres of oat stubble in peas, and broadcast them in the corn at the last plowing, pick the peas and turn the vines under. I want tt> sow all this land in cotton next year. What do you think of mixing clover seed with rye and sowing on this land as a cover crop? I have a small patch sown to the clover last fall and it looks fine. I want to sow peas and velvet beans and follow with crimson clover as soil builders. Would like your advice in regard to fertilizing these crops. Growing peas on the land will help to improve its physical condition and will add some to the store of nitrogen. Of course, where the crop is cut off, most of the nitrogen is taken away from the soil, but there is anywhere from 15 to 40 pounds left in the roots, stubble and fallen leaves. Where peas l^obbmd/ftie Dining Rp to“Pa>r” the, Kficn oom en r>r>: u "VTO wonder butter is so high. f Particular women who are \ loath to use lard or cooking but- \ , \ ter in their cakes and fine pastry, use table butter. With butter at the price you have to pay for it, that’s downright extravagance. Cottolene is just as good as butter for pastry; for frying, it is better. And Cottolene costs no more than lard. Moreover, GOOD PASTURE LAND WORTH $140 AN ACRE At the present average price for cattle in the southeast—5 to seven cents per pound—a good pasture will produce an income of from $10 to $20 per acre. Two hundred pounds of beef is not a large return to expect of a good acre of land, well set in nutritious grasses, and we have secured 300 pounds often. These results will not be obtained, however, from the pasture that is har boring bushes, briers, thistles, etc., for cattle will not consume these plants to any great extent, and their growth is sapping the strength of the land, be sides taking up a much larger area of the field’s surface than one would sus pect who had given the matter little thought. The expense of handling beef cattle on land during the grazing season is practically nothing where the grazing is carried on in connection with gen eral farming. A good fence built around a pasture will last about twelve years and will cost on the average about $6 per acre, or 50 cents per year per acre. Add 25 cents per acre to this for taxes, and taking the lowest esti mate of receipts and we have $9.25 as net income from our good pasture. The pasture at this rate is worth upward of $150 per acre. After the land has been made rich, the bushes, briers, etc., grubbed out, a pasture may be kept absolutely clean of all foreign plants at a cost of less than 50 cents per acre per year. And with lespedeza and other clovers grow ing on the land, it will actually increase in total amount of plant food. More value in nitrogen will usualy be taken from the air eaefy year than is removed in other plant foods by the animals. So we may safely conclude, I believe, that good beef cattle, grazed on good land, that is kept clean of all foreign plants, will return a profit that will pay legal iterest on $140 per acre at a low estimate. I have thought $or years that a good-sized acreage of these good pas tures would pay in the souh. That they would pay first, in the direct cash income; second, in the labor that they would save—that could be used to make the cultivation of the balance of the lands of our farms more, thorough; third, in the improved condition that the soil would be in after a few years of grazing. Good pasture does not come by chance, even in a limestone section, and when lime is not found in liberal amount in the soil, somewhat more work is required to make a good pas ture. I am of the opinion that 1,000 pounds per acre of ground limestone should be about the first treatment given to soils of the Piedmont and Coastal plain sections, where the desire is to establish really good pastures, and this treatment may well be supplemented by using 300 to 400 pounds per acre of 16 per cent acid phosphate. Herdsgrass, lespedeza, white clover, al- sike clover ,and some bluegrass, are the the grasses and clovers we would use in the Piedmopt South for permanent pas ture. Nearer the ocean and*gulf, bermuda will undoubtedly make the best foundation, and lespedeza and white clover should geenrally supplement this hardy, nutri tious grass. It should not be forgotten that a good acreage of rye and crimson clover make a most excellent supplement to the per manent pasture, affording good grazing by April 1, generally in the Piedmont sec tion, and often by March 15. Running the stock on these crops— when the land is in condition that the tramping of the animals will not do in jury—relieves the permanent pasture very greatly at a time of year when the ten dency is to overpasture. Of course, while we are preparing for these good permanent pastures, much grazing may be obtained by amply clean ing the old fields of bushes and utilizing to the fullest extent the value of the les pedeza and wild grasses. As this class of land is not very val uable. a good rate of interest on its value may be secured in this manner, where now such fields are perhapes pro ducing no income at all. But whatever you do don’t try to grow grass and bushes on the same space, for it can not be done. are planted in the corn the rows should be about six feet apart, for, unless the sun strikes down between them rather strongly, the peas will not make a very large growth. Of course you cannot raise the largest yield of corn where you plant as wide as has been sug gested, but on thin soil it will probably be good practice to use the combination crop as suggested. We have grown some crimson clover in rye with con siderable success. We think it rather important that the land be inoculated. We do not think this will be a serious matter on your part if you have some crimson clover now growing success fully. Take 200 to 300 pounds of soil from this area and scatter over each acre on which you desire to sow the crimson clover, and harrow well into the surface. We think it would pay you to use as much as twelve pounds of crimson clover with the rye sown on each acre. We would suggest that you fertilize liberally with a 10-1-4. This would also be a good formula to use on cowpeas or other legumes. If you can grow crimson clover successfully and turn it under early in the spring, you will add materially to the nitrogen content of your soil and the supply of vegetable matter and will also improve its physical condition. There is nothing better to build up thin land than the growth of legumes. * * * PLANTING CORN AFTER CEREALS. P. L. S., Athens, Ga., writes: I am com pelled to plant corn after a grain crop this year and wish to know what variety to use. What do you think of the Mexican June corn? What fertilizer should I use? Would it be profitable to subsoil now? Would the yfeld be as large If I plant corn in six-foot rows and drill peas In the mid dle.? Is it true that Unknown cowpeas will not make a full crop if planted after May 1? TAKE THE BEST CARE OF THE FARM HORSES There is no question of farm econo my more trying than the feeding of the farm teams. It is seldom done sci entifically. The easiest way is usual ly considered the best way. I have seen farmers pull up an old wagon box, dump in a sack of ear corn, turn three or four horses loose and consider that a good and proper way of feeding. One horse is morally certain to get more than another under such a plan. 1 have never seen a team, fed in such wasteful fashion, in fit condition to -work. They are invariably lifeless i nd lacking in flesh. Take for instance, the horse kept for harness racing. Their feed is meas ured to the wants of the horse. Oats ere fanned and cleaned, hay carefully measured and dampened to destroy, the effects of dust, the horse is cleaned and carefully bedded down, all traces o heating manure removed—and he is ready at all times to do what is re- cuired cf him. The farm team should receive muci. the same attention in the matter of feed. The horses should have their water regularly; the heated manure should be removed. It does not re quire much time to do these things, and the added comfort to the horse will amply repay for the trouble. Filth under a horse’s feet causes thrush, and no horse with thrush can comfortably do a day’s work. Too many farm teams go from on< kind of work to another with the same harness used on two or three differ ent horses, and not suited to any one in particular. There is as much indi viduality in horses as in people. The time spent in the study of your horses’ wants is not lost. The team rightly fed will do more work and easier. Each horse should be fed separately apd the man in charge should note whether he refuses his food or fails to eat the amount given; if not, he should at once reduce the quantity ac cordingly. That not eaten is practi cally wasted; it cannot well be fed to other stock. It is a great mistake to use geld ings from five to twelve years of age for farm work. Mules would do as much work and on practically half the feed. Three good mares will do as much work the year through as a pair of geldings, besides raising a colt each. That m&kes their work cheaper than either mules or geldings. No horse is longer lived nor more durable than the standard American harness horse. Foreign buyers have never sought th e pacer, but the preju dice against that part will become less and less. Italy, Austria and Russia have bought large numbers of horses and mares during the past two years, either in person or through agents at public sales. Only two have shown up as superior sires of speed to make it appear that it was a direct loss to the country to have them go. Onward Silver and Jay McGregor would have made great reputations as sires at borne. Other extremely fast horses have been taken over there, but as yet have not shown their superiority as sires. We had much better have such horses, as sires, in a foreign country than Baldy McGregor, the sec ond three-year-old stallion to trot 2:06, or Billy Burke, and the Gambetta Wilkes horse now in Russia—the only 2:05 horses we have exported except Crescus. All will do good work in demonstrat ing the superiority of the American trotter for improving other lines of har ness breeding. British breeders realize that when they used th e little Maine horse, Shepherd H. Knapp, and the Bel mont Water Witch horse, to improve the Hackney. Our French brethren showing that such horses as Charlie recognized it when they used a cross bred horse out of a mare with better than a 2:30 record (made in this coun try before exported), in the govern ment stud, to improve the French trot ter or coach horse, Mr. Billings has set an object lesson to all of Europe in Mack’s Wilmering and the Forrest horse could trot miles under saddle as fast or faster than they could in har ness. All late purchases of stallions by the government for the purpose of breeding army horses, both cavalry and artillery, have been of standard bred trotters. This demonstrates their general fitness. Those who actually believed the thor oughbred was superior were willing to place their best stallions at the serv ice of and free of expense to the government. After a two-year trial they said by their actions that it was cheaper to buy trotters for the purpose than to take the thoroughbred without the cost of purchase. dining room buffet HELD MAMMOTH SNAKE (By Associated Press.) ST. MATTHEW. S. C„ May 21—Mrs. J. H. Hennegan, member of a prominent' family, last night opened the drawer of a buffet in her dining room and placed her hand under a deadly copperhead moccasin snake which was snugly coiled up among the tablecloths. Mrs. Hennegan was terribly frighten ed when the reptile moved, but withdrew her hand before It had time to strike The snake was killed. Cottolene is richer, and two-thirds of a pound of it will go as far as a full pound of butter or lard. A~i hrd and Cottolene are not to be mentioned in the same breath, for Cottolene is a vegetable product, healthful, always safe — and makes digestible, rich, but never greasy food. Remember, Cottolene is better than butter, better than lard —and much more economical. ■Fried Oysters- Use large oysters; parboil a moment to dry out some of the juice to pre vent spattering during the frying. Lay them in seasoned bread crumbs, beaten egg and again in bread crumbs, then brown a few at a time in deep, smok ing-hot Cottolene. , Made only by THE N. K. FAIRBANK COMPANY For uplands we think it desirable to use one of the prolific types of corn, especially where you must plant after a grain crop is harvested. It is impor tant to get the corn in as quickly after the grain is off the land as posible, but we would prepare the land thoroughly rather than attempt to plant in hair prepared soil for corn will not do well unless the seed bed is in proper con dition. Mexican June corn is subject to attacks by bud worms, and our judgment and experience indicate that the prolific types are better suited for uplands than any other varieties which have as yet been developed. A good fertilizer formula to use on your land under the circumstances would be a 9-3-3 or a 9-3-4. We would apply not less than 500 pounds per acre, and would prefer to use 600. At least 400 pounds should be put under the drill row when the corn is planted and 200 pounds as a side application. As you are cropping your land very heavily in a single season by taking a crop of oats and com off of it, it may be advisable to use nitrate. This will de pend very much on seasonal conditions and an expression of an opinion at this date on a matter of this kind is there fore unwise. t It will not be advisable to subsoil land at this season of the year or in the early summer. Subsoiling as a rule should be done in the fall. The land should be broken, as already stated, and worked down to a fine seed bed. Then lay off for prolific corn in four foot rows. It is all right to plant jpeas in the middle at last cultivation, but planting c„rn as thinly as we have suggested, we do not believe you will secure much of a crop of peas. Or course, where you plant In six foot rows some considerable growth of peas will be obtained, but If you desire to raise a good yield of prolific corn, it is neecssary to plant it relatively thick, cultivate thoroughly and fertilize lib erally. Prolific corn, as you no doubt know, tends to stool and this tendency is restricted by rather close planting. Unknown peas are a long season crop and should therefore be planted rather early or as soon as danger of frost Is past. HORSE WITH SORE MUSCLES. W. N. B„ Castleberry, Ala., writes: I hare a horse that can hardly get up when he lies down. He has attacks of getting Htue first in one leg and then in another. There is some swelling about his hip joints. His appetite is very good, but he stays lean. Would like to know what is the trouble and what to do for him. PEACHES ARE SHIPPED BY MIDDLE GEORGIA MACON, Ga., May 21.—The first car load shipment of Georgia peaches from the middle Georgia territory was ship ped east from Macon Tuesday afternoon going to New York. The peaches came from Houston county, around Fort Val ley and Marshallville. The majority of them were small and by no means In the same class with those which were being shipped at this time last year, though the price was somewhat better. Monday a good-sized crate shipment went to New York from the Bateman orchards at Byrom, and there will be daily shipments from there from now on. Growers declare they do not expect the Georgia peach crop this year to total more than 1,500 cars, where last year there were 5,200 cars. Last year though the price was low and the crop so large it was impossible to handle it properly with the result that many cars were lost en route through deterioriation and in many cases the freight amounted to more than the shipper received from the fruit. Good prices are expected to prevail throughout the present .season and that grower who has prospects of a good crop considers himself exceedingly for tunate. As it is, many of the growers will make more money this year on a small crop than they did last year on a large one. LEGACY CAME AFTER HEIR HAD PASSED AWAY (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

We Want Agents Your horse is probably suffering from a severe cold which has settled in the muscles. If this trouble has been ob served for a considerable period of time, it may have become a more or less chronic form of rheumatism. The first thing to do is to place the animal in warm dry sunny quarters and give lax ative food or a light purgative so as to open the bowels. The affeetd’d muscles and joints should be bathed with warm water, wiped dry and well rubbed with a stimulating liniment which will not blister the skin. An ounce of sweet spirits of nitre may be given to a horse or a heaping teaspoonful of saltpetre twice daily. The food of animals suf fering from this trouble should be care fully looked after, and a variety of lax ative, easily digested and nutritious concentrates fed. If you are feeding corn and corn stover alone, you are using a ration illy adapted to the needs of horses and mules. Cut out a part of the corn, say a half or two-thirds of it. and replace with bran. In fact, it would be a good idea to use bran mashes alonea AC for a few days. Give green feed anr ^^aSjO use only bright clean hay. Dusty, moldy fodder is very objectionable.
