Question. —Please advise me about compostiug. For several years I have composted my stable manure with cot touseed. chemicals, rich earth, etc., but it is a heavy job and requires so much extra work iu handling that I have been debating in my own mind whether some other plan would not pay better. Re¬ cently my attention has been called to articles iu agricultural journals on this subject, iu which the^riters say this plan will soon become a thing of the past. Do you agree with this view, or what would you advise: Answer. —It is not advisable to ban dle a heavy article like manure any more than is absolutely necessary, and where it is possible to haul the manure directly to the land, we have found that it pays j better than tho more costly plan of com¬ posting. But often the hauling cannot i be done, when in the busy season every j mule and farm hand is engaged in the different crops. Under such circum¬ stances, rather than allow the manure to accumulate iu the stables, to the man¬ ifest injury of tho animals, or to waste it by throwing it iu loose piles in the stable yards, we would select wet days, when it is not possible to work in the fields, and put the manure in compact compost heaps, when its valuable con¬ stituents will be held until such time as we cau utilize them. Where a farmer has a largo number of cattle, which he is feeding for market, which practice is becoming quite extended since cotton¬ seed meal and hulls afford such a cheap and certain means of fattening beeves, it is a good plan, except in severe weather, to pen the cattle directly on the land to be improved. Near Atlanta there are 25 acres of most magnificent oats, sown the last of May, nearly ready for cutting, which are a striking and wonderful object lesson as to the wis¬ dom of this policy. The manure from feeding the hulls and meal contains ele¬ ments of fertility in tho highest. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon hex and for styan years she withstood its severest tosts, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent.

Of course we cannot expect to feed cattle enough to enrich tho entire farm each year, but by pur¬ suing this plan, even on a limited area, one will be surprised at the results, in Beauty Is Blood Deep.

Then if the corn is followed by a crop of winter oats, as it should be in the cotton belt, there will be found enough to carry the oat crop through to success. Then after the oats are cut give all the land a liberal dose of the mineral plant foods that the pea delights in—acid phosphate aud pot¬ ash in the form of muriate of potash.

What Should Farmers Do to Ifaiso Cotton at a Profit’/ Question.—I have seen the unjust criticisms ' which have been spread abroad in regard to the Experiment experiment car¬ ried on at the Georgia Sta¬ tion as to the cost of raising cotton. I remember tho manner in which your words were at the time perverted, along and also the effort which has all been made to get political capital out of what was really a most sound piece of advice to farmers. This was six years ago, and if this advice had been gener¬ ally heeded much of tho subsequent hardship consequent on the low price of cotton would have been avoided—in¬ deed I. with many others, believe that CA STORIA. Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature yyx of the price of cotton would have been maintained, at a reasonable figure, be cause, under your system, it would have been impossible to so overcrowd tho markets as to make our staple crop al most valueless, as it has been, except to cotton buyers and speculators, the fanner not being “in it.” Reviewing the past six years, and all that has been said, pro and con, as to tho low price of cotton, cost of production, etc., what shall is your present opiniou as to how vre meet and combat conditions, which so far have proven too much for us? Answer. —My position en this qnes tion is the same to'»;y that it was six Plamm NUBIAN TEA cures Dyspep¬ sia, Constipation and lndi gestioa. Regulates the Liver.

And just here I would emphasize-tho fact that at pres¬ ent low prices no cotton crop can be a success where it takes 3 acrca o? land to make one lx.ie of cotton.

I xx Advanoo- SHREDDED CORN STALKS. As a matter of much importance to. farmers, I again cull their attention to the immense value of the corn stalks usually left standing and wasting in the gelds when they are shredded and used f or forage. 1 have recently had a con¬ versation with a gentleman who is now selling all he cau make of this forage at Jf 10 a ton in curload lots, nud $12 a ton iu smaller quantities. His experience is that from 1 t B to 23 ^ tons of shredded j fodder cau be made to the acre, accord¬ ing to the size and number of plants, and that a large machine will cut each day the product from six to 12 acres. Of course iu both cases the arnouut is determined by the quality and yield of the corn crop. It has been ascertained that the larger machines accomplish more profitable and more satisfactory work than the srqailer ones, the stalks being more thoroughly cut uud shredded. These machines boing portable, if one farmer canuot afford the higher price for the larger machine, a combination of farmers cau invest in one and thus by moving from one farm to another the stalks for ^ neighborhood may be converted into a wholesome and nutri tive food. Or, as suggested before, one man may own such a machine and by working all furms in reach during tlie full and winter the entire crop of corn stalks may be shredded without expense to the owners.

It is well known by those who feed cotton¬ seed hulls that there 1* danger of its be¬ coming compacted, if fed in too large quantities, and that it is always safer to mix it with other more oouceutrated food stuffs. The utilization of suob a tremendous quantity only of forage will beUt| enable us not to raise more aud biM cattle uud farm stock for home uao, will give an impetus to stock raising for export. There is a growiug demand from the west for southern cattle, and with' this enormous addition to our food stuffs, a comparatively large number of beeves may be successfully ruined to meet this market without drawing too heavily upon the other resources of the furin. Thus will bo opened a new source pf income for the south and also the foundation be laid for a direct exportation to Europe of thousands of southern raised beeves. We have every advantage of climate and transporta¬ tion, and once tho business gets a firm foothold, we can scarcely compute its benefits to tho south. Our superior situ¬ ation and environment will give us an immense leverage over our western com¬ petitors. This plan of shredding and utilizing tho otherwise useless corn stalks is growing in favor each day anil the time is coming when the shredded fodder will be as much an article of commerce as the popular cottonseed hulls, once considered equally worth¬ less.
