Wire It their business to keep con-
Jtioiitly informed by wire of all the vari
ations of prioes of the various materials

fertilizers. I recommend that you
write A. A. Smith, Temple Court, At
lanta, Ga., H. M. Tucker &00., Charles
ton, S. 0., and J. M. Lang &Cos., Sa
vannah, Ua. My latest inquiries show
that acid phosphato can bo bought in
Charleston, S. 0., at $(!.00por ton (2,000
pounds) lu large lots, guaranteed 13,hf
per cent of available phosphoric acid.
Dry blood 1b worth SI.BO per unit of
Ammonia, delivered in Atlanta. In
Other words, if it shows 10 per cent of
Ammonia, it is worth $28.80 per ton,
delivered In Atlanta. Tankage Ih worth
$2 por unit of ammonia. In Atlantr, and
10 cunts per unit of bene phosphato.
Mnrate of potash containing AO pur cent
of potash is worth SI.BO per 100 pounds.
Kaiuit Is worth $9.50 pur ton, uud it is
About 12 per cent potash. Both the lat
ter prices arc at Charleston ex vessel.
Mr. A. A. Smith is a reliable broker,
And can sometimes even sell you cheaper
than yon can buy In Charleston, freight
added. Freight to Atlanta from Charles
ton on most fertilizer materials Ih $2.67
per ton.
Iu buying for home mixture, I would
Advise that you stipulate the acid phos
—phate be dry and screened freo from
lumps. Also, tho kainit you buy bo
fresh. Old kaluit often turns into hard
lumps.
I would advise aguiuet tho purchase
of taukago unless it be fine ground, us
it would be impossible to pulverize the
ordinary sort without sjiecial machinery.
By following out the directions, put
ting your materials down lu layers, one
ppon the other in proper proportions,
then cutting down with hoes and spades
and passing through a screen und then
mixing thoroughly again, you ought
not to have much trouble in uiakiug
up a good fertilizer.
Iu case you buy und need further in
formation, will l)o glad to supply any I

Growing Irish Pointers.
Question. —Can two good crops of
Irish potatoes be grown in a your? If
to, bow can it bo done successfully?
Answer. — Take good, sound early po
tatoes, cut into single eyes and plant as
early as the ground can be worked in
February or early in March. With or
dinarily favorable weather; the now
crop if tubers will ripen in eight w t 'A
weeks. As. ' .oil .is the' potatoes aro
ripe, efig them and allow them to dry u
day or "two in the shade, then out to a
single eye as before, l’laoo the pieces
in pans or boxes containing dry sand.
This takes up tlio moisture which might
check the growth, or destroy tho sots.
Allow them to remain in the sand for,
say 10 or 12 days, or until eyes begin
to start, when they are ready to plan fas
before. I would advise the second
planting to be covercii or mulohed with
straw, loaves or pine needles not less
than (I inches deep. The mulching
should bo done ulcer a good season if
possible.
1 have in tho above manner grown
vejjr successfully two crops of potatoes
yeurly: In fact, I regard tho socoud
crop tho more valuable.—State Agri- ;

the KR - —Tho onion crop is regarded

den. It is 'usually grown from sots
•old in bunches Iu tho green state; how
ever, many gitrdeners raise their own
sets and savo the expense of buying
them. This can be done by selecting a
poor piece of laud, pulverizing the soil
with a plow, harrow and rake. It will
' take about four pounds of good onion

Spraying For tho Pest.
Question. —Owing to tho continued
rains, I have been tumble to spray a sin
gle tree since Christmas. How late oan
I spray for tho San Jose scale, and must
the per cent of oil bo diminished as tho
buds advance?
Answer. —Twenty-five per cent of
j kerooseno is the strength to be used
j against tho Ban Jose scale during the
j dormant period, and this can bo used in
I the spring until the fruit buds begin to
open. In the spring when the tree be
gins to grow it Is even in better condi
tion to resist the ill cfleets of tlio kereo
sene. It is invigorated and enabled to
throw off tho oil that might penetrate
the bark. It Is not safe, however, to
spray with any per cent while the trees
are in full bloom. Tho kerooseno would
burn tho petals and injure the fruit.
After tho bloom i6 shed tho spraying
can be continued with a 15 per cent
mixture. A greater per cent would
likely burn the tender foliage. The 15
per cont strength will kill a large por
cent of the scale and check its ravages
to a great extent, If the orchard has re
ceived tho 26 per cont winter treatment,
however, it should not be necessary to
continence tho summer treatment so
early. Every favorable day up to tho
blooming period should bo utilized in
spraying infested trees with tho Xt> per
cent mixture. It is important that
bright, sunshiny days be selected to np
ply tho treatment, otherwise the oil
may penetrate tho bark of the trees and
injure them before evaporating.—State
Entomologist.
Spring mut Summer Forage,
Question. —The unprecedented fall
and winter prevented the farmers from
saving forage and sowing grain crops.
What shall we do for spring and sum
mer forager
Answer.— lt Is not too lato to sow
the Burt or the White oat—can sow on
good lands (branch bottoms and well
manured plots) until March 11 with fair
success, but advise that farmers
should not depend entirely on oats for
forage. Our plan would be to plant
sorghum, (Early Amber is best) millet,
(German and Cattail) uiilo maize, Kaf
fir corn, whippoorwill peas, popcorn
und the early varieties of Indian coru,
on land thoroughly prepared and highly
muuured with lot and stable manure or
good commercial fertilizers that con
tain 2 or 3 pier cent of ammonia, so as
to rush the crops aud afford plenty of
stalk and foliage. Tho crops should be
harvested when they are in the dongh,
cured as hay and fed to stock as hay o*-
fodder; or can be cot earlier -are to
green stuff. Aftc v*nt with the
*heu piaut , nation is similar to
