Since our last letter many changes - have taken place on the farm, and much ; good work has boen done m most all . sections of the sta e. The harvesting of wheat and oats began s >me weeks since in South Georgia with a fairly good ■ yield of wheat, but the ofit roj w . short, owing to the & t that the ; weather conditi -ns for both fall and ‘ spring were unpropitions for seed- • ing, and many sections have suffered for the want of rain in May. From our crop : reports it will be seen that the acreage in corn has been very materially in creased this year, amounting to 24 •per cent over last year. Wheat shows an increase of In per cent. It would have been much higher had the weather conditions for seeding last fall boen fa vorable. We are encouraged to believe that in the future Georgia will raise her own corn and wheat and have this grain > ground into meal and flour by mills within the borders of our own state. ) Why not? Can we afford longer not ) to do so? ( Now, when you have harvested your small gram crop, we would urge the i farmers to utilize every available acre of land by planting it in cowpeas. The ‘ cowpea is the salvation of our wornout ) and wasted lands, it is the salvation of our uplands, our lowlands, our rich 1 lands and our poor lands—we believe, . too, that it will be the solution of the fertilizer question. Plantone-half your land in peas and in five years you can curtail your expense for guano one half, > and your crops will yield as much as they do under the present system. 5 After trying this plan for ten years we believe that you would find it - necessary to buy very little of the high priced ammoniated guanos, if any at all. In some way we must de- •* crease the purchase of ,■ c a't, rtii- I iZ’i-3. and this, in our judgment, can ba . done by planting large pea crops and ; making your own guano at home. This ’ cannot be done at once, but could be t accomplished in a few years. Won’t . you begin now—this season—and plant , your lands in peas? We can only hint 1 at these matters, and cannot take space to elaborate them. Won’t you make this a memorable year for a large pea crop, and thereby not only improve • your lands, but obtain a splendid forage crop besides? REDUCTION OF COTTON ACREAGE. We are glad to announce a reduc tion of the cotton acreage, not only in Georgia, but throughout the entire cot- I ton belt. There has also been a I reduction in the amount of com i mercial fertilizers used. While the i reduction of cotton acreage has not been as large as we might have | wished, still we have made a good | showing For the season of 1897 and 18!t8 G v>rgia used up to June 1, 1898, about -1. .000 tons of commercial fertil izers. lor the season of 1898 and 1899 Georgia used up to June 1, 1899, about 835,000 tuns, or 21 per cent less than i last season. Last season Georgia spent | the enormous sum, in round numbers, i of $8,500,000 for commercial fertilizers. ! For this season Georgia spent about $6,750,000 for commercial fertilizers. 1 Thus about $1,750,000 have been saved i to the farmers of this state. We must ’ not forger that a considerable amount oi the fertilizers for this season was used in the increased acreage of wheat, and other crops than cot ton, for by reference to our crop re ports it will be seen that the wheat and - corn acreage has been vefy materially increased. Hence we can safely esti mate that the amount of commercial fertilizers has been reduced 25 per cent s as applied to th< 1 note with pleasure that other states - have also reduced their cotton acreage. -• In our judgment, the reduction of the ’ cotton acreage in some of the ’ states is greater than is shown by r the reports of the United States i Agricultural Department and those i. issued by Latham, Alexander & Co. We have beau in direct communi cation with the Departments of Agri -5 culture for the various cotton producing states, and from the information re ceived from such sources we are ted to believe that the cotton acreage for the • entire cotton belt has been reduced at 3 least 15 per cent this season. We are - 1 mindful that other sources place this e reduction at only 10 per cent, but we believe that time will prove that we are - right iu this estimate.

Interesting Artlci.-on I his Crop With Practical Suggest ions For Plant ing ami Cultivation. Much has been written in succes eive years concerning the preservation ' and upbuilding of the farming lands of | the south Ne'osarily tins question is one of great importance, as we have for years been growing cotton to the exclusion of other useful crops— paying so much attention to what is called “the moneyed crop of the s uth’’ and giving hardly any attention to the wear and tear of our lands. Os necessity the cultivation of a cotton crop is one of clean culture, which lets the summer’s sun and winter’s ruins bleach our lands of the elements of plant food that is necessary to the preservation of the laud thus cultivated. The best informed and the most .scientific farmers understand that to preserve their lands they must fur nish such quantities of plant as will replace that which lias been taken from them by the crops grown during the year. It has been a favorite method to try to repair ; the drain upon the laud by furnishing to the crops an artificial plant food com monly known as “Commercial Fertil izers." We are willing to admit that the use of these “Commercial Fertil izers" b-neflts the growing crops, but as above stated, the clean culture -ets the Summer's sun and winter’ rains bleach out the remainder, so that we are obliged to depend upon artificial means to give our crops the supply of plant food necessary for succeeding crops. Each year requires more and more fer tilizer per acre in order to supply the demand made by nature. The question arises how can we hope to keep our lands in a high state of cul tivation; how can we give in return more than we have taken away? Year by year our land degenerates, and as a consequence we become poorer. What should we do to remedy this evil and fill our barns? The only answer is, save what you al ready have and lay by something for posterity. This can be done on the farm to far lietter advantage than in most any other profession. This question must be looked squarely in the face, as any other business profession. My advice to the farmers at this sea son of the year is to plant peas, not only for feeding purposes, but as a ren ovator of their lands. Plant enough peas in your coru for seed for another year and sow the rest of your corn, oat and wheat lands broadcast for manuring purposes. Our cotwmon peas are mostly an air plant. They absorb the nitrogen from the air and deposit the same in their roots, so that they furnish ammonia for another season. The vines or woody matter furnish potash and loam, as well as prevent the washing of the soil already made. Years of ex perience shows that this plant not only renovates the land, but is an excellent forage crop Now as to the cultivation of this val uable crop I would suggest, for the pur pose of raising seed for another season, that peas be planted in the middle of the rows when you lay by your coru at the third plowing. When the peas are about 6 inches high take a short scooter or ripper with an 18 inch sweep and run on either side, thus giving the peas one plowing, which will be sufficient, as the corn will shade the ground so as to pre vent the grass from growing too freely. Or if you desire not to molest yonr corn, th n when you cut off your grain plant your peas in 3 foot rows and cul tivate as you do corn or cotton. Two plowings will make them. Gather them and let your vines rot on the ground, thus building up your laud and gathering enough to plant another year and for feeding purposes. For manuring purposes sow broadcast in the corn when you lay by, also over the small grain lands, thoroughly break ing same. Sow from Specks to 1 bushel per acre. Allow the peas to get thor oughly ripe and turn same under during the late fall. If you desire to cut them for hay it should be done when the pea-pods be gin to ripen. I will write an arti ie later i ncern ing curing pea hay, as this article is in tended only to urge the farmers to see the necessity of bringing up their lands and at the same time filling their barns. If we will only use the means we have at hand and work with energy and patience we can truly make this the garden spot of the world. I advise the use of the following peas: ' The Unknown, the Clay, Red Ripper and Whippoorwill. Again let me urge every farmer to plant largely, and if he cau procure the seed sow every foot of available land in this (nature's) subsoiler.—State Ag ricultural Department. They Hexeinhle Animals.

Inserts infest the tree and deposit * their eggs in its B h. : A gall-like ex j crescence about an inch and a half in > I diameter is produced at the base of the . shoots, and when the larvae have t emerged from < iivular holes in the sides , of the shoots the holt s, played upon by the wind, protlnce a whistling sound ! equal to that pr<«iuce<] iy a sweet toned * flute The cow tree is .- > called because iit yields an at.uni .nt si pply of milk.

The cow tree grows on the ■ * slope of the mountain chain bordering I i on Venezuela, The cloth tree is found at Otaheite, in , tho south sea. The bark is taken off iu ■ long strips and put to soak overnight in running water. The soaking softens it, so that the inner fiber may bo easily 1 separated from the rest of the bark. ■ The filers are put together in lengthsof i about 11 or 12 yards, and tho lengths , are placed side by side until they are at ; least 12 inches in width, and two or three layers of fibers are put one upon another. The fibers adhere together in one piece, and tho material thus formed is ’ beaten upon a smooth piece of wood until i it becomes as thin as muslin. It is then : ■ bleached in the air for a time, when it i is ready to l.v made up into clothing. The stinging tree of Queensland is pleasing to tho eye, but dangerous to the touch. Its effects are curious. It causes ' great pain to the person or animal that has the misfortune to get stung by it, I but it leaves no wound, no mark of any kind, and for months afterward tho part stung is painful in rainy weather or when in any way it gets wet. Frequent ly it is necessary to shoot horses and dogs that have been stung by tho tree, so maddening is its effect upon them. The angry tree grows in Nevada, east ern California and Arizona. When ■ in tho least disturbed, this highly sensi tive tree shows its anger by ruffling up its leaves and emitting a disagreeable odor.—D. V. F. in Philadelphia Times. A Movable Code. “ ‘Other time, other manner,’ ” re marked the man in the big leather ann . chair, “ought to be amended to read ‘Other countries, other manners.’ Not I long ago I went back to the small coun | try town of my boyhood to make a short j visit, and while there the whole town was set agog by the appearance of a highly interesting foreigner—a Hun garian of noble birth. No, he wasn't a barber in disguise. He was a genuine titled Hungarian. One of the clever, pretty girls in Smalltown had gone abroad to study music and had there met and made a serious impression on this Hungarian gentleman, who had crossed the water to make her a visit. He held a military position in his own country, and tho tails of his military coat, lined with a brilliant red, near ly prostrated the entire community. ‘ * One Sunday morning he accompanied tho young lady to church, and of course Smalltown was out in full force to get a good look at him. Certainly his church deportment differed widely from I anything over witnessed in this coun | try. He was seated in the pew with the young woman when her father camo down the aisle. As tho father entered the pew the tall Hungarian arose, placed his hand across his breast and bent double in a ceremonious bow, then seated himself, tho red coattails being much in evidence during the salute. When tho girl's mother entered a few minutes later, the same formal recep ! tion bow was made to her. As a rule, Americans do not rise and make sweep- ■ ing bows in church; but, as is evident. • such is the Hungarian fashion, and Smalltown was naturally much inter ested and agitated over this unusual dis play of foreign manner. ” —Detroit Free Press. The Moslem’s Rosary. The rosary consists of 90 beads, and a distinct ejaculation is appropriated to each as it passes between the fingers. Each ejaculation generally consists of two words, and declares a name or at tribute of God. Almost all Moslems in the upper and middle ranks of life carry in their pockets or bosoms a string of beads for tins purpose, which they use ; not only on the occasion I am describ . ing, but while sitting and smoking their pipes, walking in the streets or even while engaged in conversation. When a .Moslem has gone over his ’ beads at the regular time of prayer, he folds his hands, and then, holding them up open, as if to receive something from above, ho prays for such blessings as he desires for himself or his household. i When this is concluded, he strokes his . beard with his right hand and says, “Praise tie to God!’’ This concludes the whole.—Mind.
