Question.— Plea*# tell rue something •boot the cultivation of sugar bents, tlie msthod. cost, preparation for market, kind of soil SMtuhie, etc. How are the factories in tilts oooritry succeeding ? la the sugar of good quality aud is the crop onn wllioh can he cultivated at the south? How much do manufacturers pay for them ? Answer —A* vet the sugar beet in¬ dustry iu this country is in its infancy, and w# have to depend on the experi •uce of others for enlightenment on the points on which yon request informa¬ tion. The following is from a man of large experience both iu this country and in Europe, aud what he says on sugar beet culture is reliable and valu¬ able. He says tho soil should bo good. Tha crop will not pay if planted on poor ground, or on muck bind, or on land Which has not good drainage, or if the toil is not in a good state of cultivation. The cost of raising an a re of beets is too high for them to bo grown on poor land. The success of this industry is in the hands of the farmers and not in tho hands of the manufacturers. No matter how perfeot the machinery or how econ¬ omically a factory is mannged, if the beets are brought to the factory not in proper condition the expenses are doubled and the farmer is docket), which means loss of time, general discourage¬ ment and want of success to both man¬ ufacturer and planter. The beets when delivered at the fuctorv should be cut off fiat at the root of the leaves, so that none of the green top is left. This is absolutely necessary in order to make a good staudurd of sugar. Every beet of wbicb the green juice of the leaves is mixed with the beet juice proper is an obstacle to crrstalizing the sugar, and •very drop of that green juice must be eliminated before the white granulated sugar can be manufactured All the fertilising properties of the beets are eontainml in the tope and the farmer (seels with n doable loss If he carries them to the factory instead of cutting them off aud leaving them ott bis land. He is docked 8 or 10 per cent at the fac¬ tory, and wastes the valuable fertilizing properties of tho tup* which are thrown away. METHOD OF CDI.TIVATINO SOOAR 11EBT8 The rows should be 18 or 20 iuches apart, tho plants thinned oat to stand 6 or tl inches in tho row. Do not wait until the young beets are surrounded by we«da, but cultivate with the hoe as soon as the plants can tie snein. The thinning should be doue ns soon as the plants have two to foqr loaves. After this keep the weeds aud grass down by ♦he horse hoe, cultivating often to loosen the earth around the plants and give air to the roots. As tha cultivation fs very expensive no chance should be neglected which will help to make as large a crop as possible. If weeds and grass are allowed to grow they will take up the strength of the soil, which should be used to make the beets. The rows should not be further titan 20 inches apart. If wider than this the beets will be larger but will not yield as much iu Be*r.» the Ihe Vnd You Hava Always Bought Signature of H OW are the chil¬ dren thissummer? Are the y doing well ?

Question. —Wo have a email patch of oats in Griffin that is being ruined by a small green insect; we enclose sample of them in letter. We called on Mr. Ivim trough at the Experiment Station and he asked us to write you in reference to the matter and to send your man down to investigate same. Any information vou can give us will be highly ap- v jp reo i a ted. Answer. - The insect sent is tho “Grain Louse. ” It lives by sucking the sap of wheat, oats, etc., and thus in¬ juring and frequently killing the plant. It appears thnA all the individuals of tills family are females, and they pro duce living young, beginning as soon as adult, and conrfbning ' during life. No male or egg-laying female of the “Grain Ijcinse” has ever boon found. They multiply with great rapidity and fre¬ quently do much damage. From ex periiuent# that have been made it lias been found that this post can be kept under control by spraying the oats when young with a strong decoction of tobacco stems, or with kerosene emulsion and water. „ 1st" ab ut 100 „ gallons to the , acre, with a spraying outfit.

Please give us a lit¬ tle more information on this subject. After the stalks aro shredded how is tho fodder kept, and what is its feeding value? Can it be fed to farm stock without using any other ‘‘roughage,” and is there anyYrouble in getting them to ear it? Answer.—A f^r the stalks are shred ded the fodder may bo kept in the 1>arn or any dry place, until needed for use, taking care not to disturb the mass, for no matter how dry it may seem, there is at first sufficient moisture j to cause a slight fermentation, and if the fodder is disturbed during this for mentation mould is apt to appear. The feeding valuo of this fodder has been shown by analysis to be greater than cottonseed hulls and nearly equal to the best quality of timothy hay. At the Experiment Station farm in this state this forage has been thoroughly tested, It has been used there for weeks at a time as tho only “roughage” to tho manifest benofl' of the farm animals, and they rat it readily.

In Bulletin No, 80, already referred to, the whole subject was discussed at Bomp jjtmgth, showing bv experiments modp, and by analysis that the value of the naked stalks that pre generally left ju the field, iff ter harvesting the ears, shucks aud blafjps, amounts to fully one sixth of total value of tho crop. Bulletin Nq. 38, published last fall, says further on this subject: The mi station t iS . h#s just ........ finished shred ding tho corn stalks from five acres of corn. The crop gps 5 very muqh injured by tljo extreme heat and drouth, and the yield of grain was cut off at least 25 per cent. Tho corn was cut down jus* above the surface of tho ground Aug. 23, and immediately shocked, placing about {6Q stalks in each shock, and tying tho top of each shock with twine. No rain foil on the shocks and the ears were husked out Oct. 3, and tho stalks immediately run through the shredding luachiue, being apjiarently perfectly dry. The yield of the five acres was as follows: j Shelled corn 156 bushels. Shreddetl stalks, orstover.14,000 pounds, This represents a yield per acre of 81 bnsbob) of sbe lled com and 2,800 pounds of , dry , corn , hay, which is believed j to . . be TOr >’ near1 ^ e ‘l ual feedin « '" alue good timothy hay. In tho above total yield of corn hay is included tho blades and shucks, which are almost univer¬ sally saved and utilized by Georgia farmers. But there are also included in the 3,8(X> pounds of corn liay alxiut 1.800 P° uu< ^ s stalks, which are usually pi'rmitted to remain on the ground and noun tilized as food. This 1,300 pounds represents the food loss for every 31 bushels of shelled corn. The com erbp of Georgia, for convenience, may lie stated at 31,000,(01 bushels—sometimes i esSi often more. Then, at 1.300 pounds of com hay, heretofore not saved, for everv 31 bushels of com. the total loss in ** , st5lte ^ , , ^ . 1 . - 800 ^ dS . v,.- *V’' , *».000 = 1,300 million . pounds, or 6o0 - tons of corn hay. a ver> good toed, and worth at least $10 a ton. or a total of #6,500,000, or about enough to pay for s q lbo commercial fertilizers used in Georgia in one year! This may be con¬ sidered a remarkable statement, and it will no doubt surprise many a fannci who has net thought about it. 1 have replied to your question thus at longhth, because there is scarcely a subject of more importance to tho farm e rs just now, The universal practico of shredding the corn stalks means a sav ing of millions of dollars.—State Agri cultural Deportment, Fertilizer For Corn. Question. —What are the best propor tions in a commercial fertilizer for corn, and how, at what timo, and whal amount would you apply it? Answer.— All things considered ths best fertilizer on our ordinary lands for com should be in about the following proportion. Cottonseed meal 1,000 lbs., acid phosphate 1,000 lbs. muriate pot ash 60 lbs., or 200 lbs, of kainit may be substituted for the muriate of potash, On lands almost destitute of humus, that is, which have cultivated and re cultivated in clean crops, we would no! venture to use more than two or three hundred pounds to the acre, applied jus; before or at planting time. The coni crop, more perhaps than any other, is dependent on a supply of moisture tot its best development, and it has been found that the direct application of com mercial fertilizers does not result as well as where these have been applied to a previous crop, and provided the applica¬ tion be sufficiently heavy. If the forti lizer has lieen broadcast, as for oats or peas, the succeeding com crop is usually very satisfactory, although fine crops of coni are often made after a heavily fer tilized cotton crop. As a rule, any for* wula, which will analyze 7.00 per cont phosphoric acid 1.30 per cent potash and 3.40 per cent nitrogen, is snitod to com.—State Agricultural Department. _ ~~ " — --- Scrofula to Consumption.
