ENGLISH ROTATION.
Can yon give me some idea of the ro
tation of crops in England ?
B. H. H., Butler, Ga.
Rotation of crops in England vary as
in this country, and corn, as well as
cotton, is almost excluded, being sel
dom planted. The following is a popu
lar rotation in that country: Turnips
or other root crops, barley, clover, wheat,
making a four years’ rotation.
A COMPLETE FERTILIZER.
What is meant by a complete fertil
izer, aud what does it contain V
B. E. N., Dallas.
The noted French writer, Professor
Ville, calls a complete manure or fer
tilizer, one that contains nitrogen,
potassium, phosphorus and lime. Lime
as a rule is found in our soils in suffi
cient quantities, so we denominate as a
complete fertilizer one that contains
phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen.
When lime is used as a fertilizer it
supplies one mineral constituted to
plants, that is calcium oxide or lime.
Usually in soils this element exists in
sufficient quantity, and thj valuable re
sults frequently obtained by the use of
lime are not attributable to the supply
of this element itself as a plant food,
but to other important purposes, which
it serves. Acids, which some time are
contained in the soil to an injurious
extent, are neutralized by its alkaline
properties; stiff clays are rendered light
and mellow, and it aids also in the de
composition of insoluble, inorganic
compounds as silicates, and it is in
this manner, and not directly, that pot
ash is supplied by the use* of common
lime, some of the agricultural limes
containing in themselves a small supply
of this mineral constituent. Sourness is
corrected by the use of lime in the de
struction of the excess of vegetable
matter.
Some plants, such as peanuts, demand
an excess of lime, or rather lime much
in excess of what is demanded by other
plants, and in their cultivation it is very
valuable as a direct plant food. Yon
will note that the benefit you will re
ceive from the use of lime will be princi
pally in mechanical effects, and thus
aiding in proper distribution of the
applied fertilizer. We should judge
from your description of the condtion of
your soil that it is very much in need of
organic matter. This is best supplied
by the use of leguminose plant which
contributes a direct supply of nitrogen
in addition to organic matter.
STOP PLOWING,
When is the proper time to stop plow
ing corn? G. M. R., Savannah.
Corn should not be plowed after the
tassel begins to break. In a previous
number of these reports we have given
the root extent of the plant, which is
much greater than is commonly sup
posed. In the process of plowing more
or less root pruning consequently en
sues. The nearer maturity and the
larger and more vigorous the plant, the
greater this pruning. It is therefore
necessary when fruiting begins, in order
to husband the resources of the plant,
that the plant should have the full ben
fit of every’ rootlet and that the process
of cutting or disturbing them should
cease. \se should direct our efforts as
far as the weather will permit to having
our crops in such condition, clean of
grass weeds, etc., that when the plant
arrives at the stage indicated further
plowing will be unnecessary.
BEGGAR LICE.
I have heard that the weed known as
beggar lice or beggar tick will benefit
land, also that it is good for forage.
H. A. M., Keyton.
The plant known as beggar lice botan
ically belongs to the gums desmodinm,
which belongs to the same family as
the pea and clover, and therefore is rich
in nutritious material. From those
who have tried it the United States de
partment has received a number of
favorable reports, both as to its value
as a feed, while green and cured for
hay it i9 also commended as building up
land. While the majority of those who
have tried it testify to its value, others
have condemned it, however, without
apparent reason.
PEAS.
Can 1 sow peas now with the hope of
receiving ben -ficial results, that is in my
corn? I. J- 8., Woodlaw.
In these reports we have endeavored
to impress on our farmers the benefits
.to be derived from sowing peas, and to
induce them to use this plant to supply
organic matter and nitrogen, the cotton
being the most expensive of all the ele
ments of plant food. If your corn has
not been laid by by all means at the last
plowing sow the middles in peas, the
improved mechanical con lition of the
soil and the addition to the fertility will
amply compensate you for the trouble
and expense. The farmer’s land is his
capital, not the laud as a barren waste,
but in its power to produce by virtue of
Its fertility. When he adds to its fer
tility he adds to his capital, or when he
permits it to be depleted of the ele
ments to produce he impares his capi
tal, and while not visible, is actually as
much yoorer as a merchant, who by
bad management each year, would find
himself with a small stock of goods and
unable to do as large a business as he
did the year before. Therefore we say
plant peas in your corn and thus aid in
maintaining your capital.
NITROGEN.
Do plants get any of their nitrogen
from the air? H. C. 8., Hampden.
While the air Is composed largely of
nitrogen, it is the opinion of chemists
that nut one atom is directly appro
priated. No plants appropriate this free
nitrogen except leguminous plants, and
these plants accomplish it through
muriate bacteria found on the roots, that
are actual living organisms. An effort
is now being made by scientific students
of agriculture to inoculate other plantß
with these organisms, and thus en
deavor to communicate to them the
power of appropriating free nitrogen.
FOOD FOR STOCK.
Asa food for stock bow does wheat
straw compare with hay ?
it. L. TANARUS., Bartow county.
It will depend of course to some ex
tent on the kind of hay. One pound of
common hay in the quantity of nutri
ment cordant is equal to four or five
pounds of wheat straw.
DECAYING TREES.
How can I save trees that are begin
ning to decay from knot holes?
H. A. V., (Jartersville.
To save trees that are beginning to
decay in the center from knot holes on
the outside an English paper recom
mends to empty out the water as far as
practicable with a pump and then fill
the holes with portland cement formed
into a running consistency with water.
For economy, two parts of sharp sand
or small gravel may be mixed with one
part of cement, which should be quite
fresh. When the holes are filled wi’h
the cement, allow it to set. Then
smooth over the crown with the same
material, roundel to throw off the we>,
just having it level with the bark
around each wound, and over this apply
a coat of grafting clav so as to en
courage the growth of the bark, which
we have known to grow and close over
the cement. The thing is to get ths
water out and keep it out in the future.
Clay alone would not do that, but
rather accelerate the decay by allowing
water to enter.
SOUTHDOWNS.
I note that yott recommend the South
downs as good mutton sheep for this
section. Will you kindly give me some
of the reasons why you recommend thi3
particular breed? D. A. 8.,
Hamilton.
Mr. W. W. Chapman, experienced in
sheep raising, thus gives some of tho
reasons why he prefers this breed of
sheep:
Because they of all sheep will produce
more meat at less cost from a given area
than any other breed of sheep, for you
can keep 30 of these Soutlidowns where
only 20 of the larger bree Is can be kept
on the same food and area. They are
small in size, but great in value. They
are big sheep in little room. They are
sheep that produce the greatest weight
where the best points are, for many of
you may not be aware of the fact that
hindquarters of Southdcwns are always
one to two pounds heavier than the
forequarters.
This is a merit peculiar to them.
They are producers of fino wool of the
best quality, and allhough the weight
of the fleece is not so much as of some
other breeds, taken as a whole, the
figures would show a farmer received in
cash more profit from the produce of 50
Soutlidowns than from any other breed,
if an account of the cost of food and at
tendance were properly kept.
I prefer them because of their hardi
ness, freedom from disease and their
ability to live and thrive in extremes of
heat and cold, for they are to be found
all over the world. On their native
downs they have great extremes of cli
mate to endure, from the heat of sum
mer to the almost arctic cold of winter,
and their fine, thick wool and close
fleece is most essential to their well
being, with which, being impervious to
either wet or snow, they are able to put
up with the greatest hardships, cold and
wet, without any ill effects to their
bodily health or to the quality of their
wool. Thus not only do you by keeping
a flock of Soutlidowns keep a sheep of
the most valuable mutton breed, but
you keep one whose wool is of the finest
and best quality and is not affected by
the weather in the manner it affects
other breeds.
I prefer them because they will thrive
and live as well where other sheep
would almost starve; because they are
small eaters and rapid fatters and will
come to maturity as early as any other
sheep in the world; because of their
small size they produce just the joints
that make the highest price in the mar
ket.
SHADE FOR FARM ANIMALS.
The following valuable suggestion as
to the benefits to be derived from shade
from one of our exchanges is worthy of
consideration:
“ ‘The merciful man is * 'erciful to
his beast.’ Don't neglect, during the
months of July and August, to provide
some shady place to which your cattle,
and sheep especially, can resort to dur
ing the heat of the day.
“All stock is better for such a place,
but especially should the ruminant an -
mals have It provided. There after feed
ing they can retire aud chew the cud in
comfort and derive the full benefit of
the food. If dark as well as simply
shaded overhead, they will enjoy
greater comfort, as the flies will not
trouble them so much. An old shed or
barn makes an excellent shelter, or if
these be not available, put up a frame
work of poles and cover with bru-ih or
weeds, or both. Such a shelter will
well repay the cost of erection in the in
creased yield and better condition of
the stock.
GENERAL REMARKS.
Great Suffering Among the Crops During
the Month of June.
During the month, throughout the
state, there is hardly a section that has
not suffered from the want of rain to
such an extent as to materially damage
the growing crops.
The early part of the month brought
a drought or rather witnessed a contin
uation of the drouth of the previous
month until all crops were parched
and withering for the want of rain.
When the rains came they were local in
character and sufficient water did not
fall to give the land the thorough wet
ting demanded by vegetation.
Asa result of the season, we regret to
say that a reference to the tabulated
statement shows the present condition
and prospect as to both corn and cotton
that has been presented in the state in a
number of years.
COTTON.
The reports received for the month
have*been larger than usual in number.
For the state they show the condition
and prospect as compared with an aver
age of 77. This is 7 per cent lower
than any year for the last five years,
and is due in a large measure to the
condition throughout north and middle
Georgia, which sections suffered most
from the very cold weather late in the
spring. The subsequent seasons has
also been unpropitious for the recupera
tion and recovery of the plant from the
injury previously suffered. In both
sections the condition and prospect s
lower than shown by any report for the
past decade, in middle Georgia it is 71
per cent, and in north Georgia only 03
per cent.
CORN.
Unlike cotton, corn shows the best
condition in north Georgia, while owing
to the drouth, the crop in the southern
sections of the state is very poor.

Destroying Wevlla.
Place the seed or grain in a tight bin,
box, barrel or hogshead, or if the room
can be closed nearly air tight, pile it in
a conical heap on the floor. For each
100 pounds of seed allow an ounce of
carbon bisulphide. Pour this into a cup
and sink the cup to the rim at the top
of the heap. Now cover the heap with
an old carpet or thick cloth of any kind
to keep in the fumes. If the room is
not very large and can be made quite
tight, no covering of the heap will be
necessary, but one quarter to one-half
more carbon bisulphide must be used.
Keep the cloth on or the room closed for
21 hours; then expose freely to the air,
and all traces of the carbon bisulphide
will quickly disappear. Th* edible
quality of the grain or its ability i
sprout will be nowise injured by the
treatment. Carbon bisulphide read"?
explodes in presence of fire, and no fire
or light must be brought into the room
as long as the peculiar odor of the car
bon bisulphide is perceptible.
Potatoes In North Carolina.
A North Carolinian writing to Coun
try Gentleman says:
We all of us adopt the two crop sys
tem. Our first crop is marketed in the
great northern cities from June 1 to 15,
and in July we plant the second crop,
which matures in October, Our second
crop has heretofore been used for seed
and home consumption exclusively, but
this year I shall be disappointed if we
do not meet your norffiern growers In
even terms in the city markets. I can
not see why it is not entirely feasible,
or why, with potatoes at f 1 a barrel, it
will not be vastly more profitable to us
than growing corn and cotton.
At the Texas station millo maize grows
well and resists drouth, but is not con
sidered superior to other sorghums for
forage.
Japan clover has been successfully
grown at the North Carolina station and
is strongly recommended a9 a renovator
of worn soils.
Governor Flower, of New York, is
taking a deal of interest in good
roads, and is talking over the subject
with New York farmers.
There is no known remedy for hog
cholera, but whatever contributes to
keeping the animals in healthy condi
tion renders them less liable to its at
