thing Question 5 — Please toll of mo celery— some- !
about the second crop
how to raise it for homo or market, I
Answer 5 Tho market gardons I
—
around New York plant oolery as asco- j
ond crop, following cabbages, onions,
boots or potatoes. And we may do tho
same in Georgia either in tho market
garden or privato kitchou garden. Ma-
uare tho ground very heavily in the
„priag for onions, cabbage or beets, and
as soon as they are ri moved, plow
or spado the ground and make it fine
and mellow to receive your celery plants.
Don’t forgot that it is a waste of time
uud labor to attempt to grow celery on
poor or badly prepared soil.
Tho seed should bo sown from the
middle to tho last of March In rich
ground and in drills 13 inches apart.
Radish seed are somtimes sown sparing-
!y in the drills with tho celery seod.
Tiie radish will sprout in a few days,
showing tho line of tho rows, and tho
hoe can then be mod betweon the rows
before tho weeda ami grass get a start.
Wheu tho plants arc three to four in¬
ches high, cut off tho tops, aud ropoat
this a second time tvs tho plauts contin¬
ue to grow; this will cause a stocky
growth and make them more uniform
in size. When yon have dag your po
tatoos, or housed or #o'd off. your cab
bage or onions, projiaro t’.ie land from
Which you took them for celery by deep
plowing or spadiug, first applying a
liberal doso of woll rotted stable man-
are ot commercial fertilizer. Lay off
rows from three to four feet apart aud
place a plant ovory sir inches in tho
row. In taking the plants from the seed
bed, try to got them of uniform size so
that tho growth afterward may bo about
tho same. Both roots aud loaves should
pg trimmed before setting out, leaving
t fi 0 roo ts about 3 1-3 iiichos long, and
the loaves cut off oven with the top of
the heart. It is best to set oat plants
during a wet clou ty spoil, and should
tho weather turn very hot aud dry just
afrer planting, they should bo protected
from tho sun for a few days. During
tho early stages of growth, tho ground
should bo roquoutly worked—by tho
plow : a (ic'd culturo-and by tho hoo
or r:lko , l u Rar,lou . calture ,. - Wliou the
-
loav - i g't 11 to IB iuches long the earth
on ithor side of tho row should bu
loosened to tho dopt'i of Sor 3 inches.
Then tuo workman, gathering the leaves
of each plant in one hand, holds them
in position while he presses the loosenod
earth around the stalk with tho other.
When this is finished the earth is
thrown from each side towards tho eel-
ery with a plow. In the family garden
a hoe should be usod for this purpose.
As fast as the celory grows tho earth is
drawn to the plauts with boos, until
tho time for bleaching arrives. From
the first to the middle of October oolery
should bo baukod in ordor to bleach it.
To do this, commence about a foot from
the plants, aud throw up with a spate
a bank of earth, covering all tho celery
except a few inches of the ends of the
longest leaves. A few weeks in tHs
condition will bleach it and it will then
bo roady for use.
This system la greatly preferred to
the old fashioned and troublesome plan
of digging deep trenches an l manur¬
ing those. Tiie larger and coarser vari-
cties are almost ontirely discarded U

nortliwost where they are crisp aud sol -

Grass, just befon, blooming, 73.
Green corn, 84.
Green rye, W-
Bed clover in blossom. 80.
Question 7 .—-Please give me the
analysis of pea meal.
Answer 7.—We cannot give an ana-
lysis which will apply to all pea meal,
because its quality is according to tho
variety and the kind of soil on which
it was grown. About 8 to 3 1-2 per cent
nitrogen, 3 4 to 1 1-4 phosphoric acid
aud 1 to 1 3 4 potash will give a fair
- .
nverngo of the j>! ::ii iood o', onitnary

nia ami phosphoric ccid of the former

Q r;KST|ON 9# _ WiVU do you thiak ot
cottonseed meal as a fool for cows ?
Answer!! —Wo hare usod cottons-' el
meal combined with huil.s au 1 other
feed stuiTs, with tho. greatest uuvuut-
age.
From a bulletin of th; Tennossoo os-
perimeut station, wo And that cot ton-
seec j mea [ j s ,g e most valuable of all
tiio so called waste products used as
] t can p B safely fed for
long periods as much as five pounds per
day p 3r i ood pounds live weight, in thb
ration for cows giving milk. As the
cow approaches the time for calving,
the proportion of cottonseed meal should
uot exceed hroa pounds daily.
We do no; think it advisable to feed
more than live pounds of cottonseed
luoal daily to milch cows. J.or baiter
making it is not advisable to exceed
throe pounds daily. Many years of
close observation elsewhere, (ill well as

fodders, particularly during tho throe

Cottousood moal and cottoaseod hulls
should be fur more oxtcnsivcly used as
cattle food. Those products of tho cot¬
ton fields of tho south will enable the
farmers to maintain or to rostore tho

of manures. Dy their proper use it is
easy to obtain tho highest economic

Question* 10.—I have a young male
B years old that was, nutl three weeks
ago, 111 a tlmtty condition. At that
time her appetite began to fail and she
seemed t > be stiff all over. She would
raise her head iiko she was choking,
At present she is uot so stiff, but uuablo
to swallow and is swollen under tho
throat au(} whi ,t she o»ts oomos book
through her nostrils; it also runs a lit-
t'o mu-icma, yellowish and inclined to
J>° watery. I he mule has been with a
liorsc that had something like uistim-
per and the horse died from tiie dis¬
ease, and not knowing the symptons of
glanders decided to write you, so please
give mo symptoms of glanders, aud if
tins is not is. glanders any information us
to what it
Answku 10.—From the description ot
suid mulo I tiiink it is a oaso of dis¬
temper, caused from being in contact
with other stock affected likewise, be¬
ing duo- to a germ and contagious. The
swelling under the throat will termi¬
nate into au abscoss.
The treatment is poultice the swell¬
ing and when soft uso tho knifo, opon
up thoroughly and in a few days the
mule will bo nil right.
The stiffness is only a symptom of
the disease.
It might possibly be lockjaw, but l
think not.
