ANSWERS TO INQimtlES Commissioner Nesbitt’s Ques¬ tion Box For the Month. VALUABLE INFORMATION GIVEN Why So Few Sheep Are Railed III Georgia. More About the Wire Cottou Tie—Jeru¬ salem Artichokes as a Food For Hogs and How to Plant Them—Importance of the Selection of Good Soed. Question.—W hy is it that in Georgia, many parts of which state are pecu¬ liarly adapted to sheep raising, there are 60 few sheep raised? One would suppose that if properly managed it could be made a most profitable business. Answer.— In southern Georgia there are a good many sheep raised. Several years ago oue of the largest sheep own¬ ers there reported that he clipped an¬ nually 90 cents worth of wool from sheep, which cost him only 14 cents a head in expenses. There is only one reason why sheep husbandry is not oue of the leading industries of tho state, and that is, there is no law for their protection against tho dogs which roam at will through the country. It liar, been said by men af experience that oue acre well sodded in Bermuda grass will support five sheep nine months of each year. This was on ordinary land, which had not yielded profitable returns in other crops. For the remaining three mouths we 'have other crops, such as rye, turnips, barley, potatoes and the hardy native grasses, all of which can be grown in abundance. Tho sheep more than pay for their keep in the increased fertility of land on which they are folded. One hundred sheep regularly folded will fertilize eight acres of laud to such a degree as will enable it to double the crops produced on it. Besides tho added value to the lands in the droppings we have the crop of wool and the increase of the flock, which last may be reasona¬ bly calculated as 90 per cont of the whole. Nor are these all. The charac¬ ter of the crops required to support the sheep are just those needed to recuper¬ ate our too often exhausted lauds. Bor muda is particularly adapted to these lauds and the grass roots serve to hold the soil together and prevent the wash¬ ing away of the accumulating vegeta¬ ble matter. Many worn fields could be thus rehabilitated, that now offer no encouragement to cultivation in other crops. We trust the day will dawn \vheu the present difficulties in the way of successful sheep raising will be re¬ moved, and instead of about 500,000, the present number of sheep in the state, Georgia will contain at least 8,000,000 or 4,000,000. Our mild winters and early springs give us many advantages, of which growers north of us are de¬ prived. In some sections of the state tho sheep receive no a'- •’>4’ • beyond the annual clipping, and ur til the price of wool was so much reduced they were even under this careless management found profitable. If more attention were given to raising crops for them, to improving the breeds and to the gen¬ eral care of the floefe, there is no rea¬ son, except the oue mentioned, why sheep raising should not bo mado profit¬ able in our section. An experienced sheep raiser in Southeastern Georgia once said to me, that it was cheaper in that section to raise a sheop than a chicken, because the chickens had to bo fed, while the only attention the sheep received was an occasional salting. — State Agricultural Department, The '•Harlequin** Hurt. Question.— I am a largo grower of tnrmp and mustard soed. In the spring before they ripen much damage is dono the plants by a spotted bug. What is it? Can you give a remedy? Answer. —The bug that injures your crops is without doubt the “Harlequin” bug, the worst insect enemy of all cru¬ ciferous plants. They live through tho winter hidden under leaves or trash of j any kind. They are ready to deposit their eggs from the middle to last of March, aud then in from four to six days these hatch out a brood of larva?, which at once commence their deHruo tive work by piercing the leaves and sucking the sap. The leaf thus pierced soon wilts and dies. These insects are shy and timid, aud upon flic approach of a person try to hide behind anything that will conceal them. They are very difficult to contend with, as they cannot be reached by auy of the arsenical poi¬ sons. All rubbish under which tho bugs may take refuge during the winter should be carefully burned, and infested fields or gardens should have clean cul ture. Hand-picking into pans contain ing water or kerosene is often resorted to as a remedy. Pyrethrum in decoction or powder, and kerosene emulsion may prove effectual when the bugs are young. Cabbage growers plant mustard be¬ tween the rows of cabbages, which be ing preferred by the bugs attracts them in large numbers, when they are effect ually destroyed with pure kerosene, Possibly you might adopt this plan sue cessfully if your turnips and mustard are sowed in drills. I hope you will try it and report result to this department. —State Agricultural Department.

A ton of well rotted stable manure contains 11 pounds of nitrogen, 10 pounds of potash, and 0 pounds phosporio acid. Thus yon see that the chicken manure contains six times as much nitrogen, four times as much potash, and eight times as much phos¬ phoric acid as does well rotted horse mauura Chicken manure being so valuable, more care should be taken to gave ik— State Agricultural Depart¬ ment FMitina Unsound f’en Vino liny. Question.— 19 thore any groat risk In feediug damaged poa vine hay? I have known cases where it has beon fea without any apparent injury. Answer. —As a rule it is dangerous to use stock food of any kind which is not perfectly sound, particularly in the case of horses and mules. In tho case of pea vine hay, it has been demon¬ strated that where it has fermented or become moist after being stored, salt¬ petre is formed in sufficient quantities to produco violent irritation of tho kid¬ neys. and If the feediug is persisted in. death often results. Mouldy hay is also regarded by experienced feeders as ex¬ tremely dangerous.—State Agricultural Department. New War Songs ami Music.
