What do you think of the possibility of making money by raising sheep in north Georgia ? II. D. L.. Gainesville, Ga. Dogs have been the great, draw back to sheep raising in all sections of Geor gia yet we are of the opinion that for this industry the wire grass section and north Georth under proper conditions are as favorable localities as aie to be found in the United States. The following description of our mountain shows the esteem in which it is held by others as a sheep country, and the opinion of a sheep raiser as to the best breed. The highlands of the southern Blue Ridge which occupy the corner of the four statei—North Carolina. South Carolina. Tennessee and Georgia—are a typical sheep country, having a mild climate, both as to heat and cold, the purest water flowing in the greatest abundance, dry soil, absolute freedom from swamps, abundant feed, both of grass and wood range at some seasons a great supply of mast from the trees. There is rarely any snow to prevent feeding froi i the ground in the winter, the soil and climate are excellently well adrpted to the growth of all the grasses and grains, and from some years’ Stewar ex* perience it nas proved to H. , who wrote the foregoing from North Carolina in a letter to The Century Fenticra–n. that a sheep may be reared to full growth for 75 cents and wool may be grown for 10 cents a pound with equal profit to that in the north at three times this price. Land is remarkably cheap, taxes are very light, and while the greater with part of the region is not rail." supplied wool ea?y transportation by equal yet facility may be grown with at least to that afforded on the western plain. the The sheep now kept here are of common native kink that have been crossed to sum® extent with the South down, and the crosses make good sheep. Recently the Cheviot and the Shrop shire have been brought into the coun try and do remarkably ,#vell. From Mr. Stewart’s experience of some years the Shropshire is the best utire breed for breeding the native flocks. IRISH POTATOES. When should Irish potatoes be planted for second crop ? How late can sweet potatoes slips be set and make potatoes ? J. G. P„ Brook Station. To raise a second crop of Irish pota toes the seed should be faom the first crop and should be planted the latter part of June or early July. For seed dig the potatoes early in the morning or late in the afternoon so that the sun will not strike them and dry them in the shade. ‘ After they have lost a large per cenc of water cover them with moist earth so that they will sprout. Then plant only those which hare ger minated. In this way you wiil always be able to secure a good stand as other wise. many may fail to come up and a stand be lost. So it is best to mulch the land so the soil will be sufficiently moist to withstand a dry season. You can also provide yourself with an inter mediate crop by planting a should crop in May. The seed for this crop ne potatoes of the previous year and the crop can lie made certain by mulching. In a favorable season a crop cau be made when set out early in July. We regard the first weeks in June as the time which will give the best results. same line, or from the practical experi ence of the euccessful wheat growth. As shown in the last report the yield per acre increased to a marked degree this year and we believe witli careful preparation and proper fertilization still greater progress will be made until a yield is secured that will place wheat on a more profitable basis. The same treatment that land re ceives for wheat with but little varia tion would answer for outs and rye. We would impress the idea that if these crops are to he successfully grown that preparation and fertilization must not be overlooked. Often wheat, oais and rye are sown without the end in view of securing a good yield but al most with the idea of only resting the land. If this is to bo done a crop of peas alone is much more effective and will be found more profitable. AMMONIATKD COrPKR CARBONATE.

AItTIFICIAL HEMEDIEA. I have recently summarized three must important methods of artificial! •hacking cut worm damage as follows . 1 . Tim poison method. This consists in kibitig oft' the worms before tliecroi arc planted, .*»■' strewing over the s i bunches of fresh clover or cabbage leaves, which have been treated with Paris green or London Purple, eitltet bv dipping into a solution of poison, oi .lusting it on dry. The hulfgrowi worms prowlirigaliiiut in tfoimrhuf food eat of ihe baits thus set and are de stroyed before doing any harm. Thi me; hod has proved a practical well sacces wish many gardeners, and is worth trying, where there is likely to Ik trouble from those parts. Of cour t care must, be taken that chickens O stock do not get at the poisoned leave? 2. Using boards as traps. Thi method consists in placing l> >ards • the ground in and about the garde, and collecting in the morning (lie norm ihat will congregate beneath them du big i he night. IS. Digging out the worms wher. plants have been cut off. Tins is pru> t cable in most g.udeus and is \vei worth doing, thus preventing lurch*? damage. plowing is also valuable Pall a gen eral measure, because it exposes tl worms to enemies and the weather Burning up rubbish and burning ovei waste grassland also kills some. PARIS GREEN. Paris groeu, 1 pound. gallons. Water, 200 390 If this mixture is to be used on peach trees, 1 pound of quick lhue should be added. Repeated applications will in jure most foliage unless lime is added. Paris greeu and Bordeaux mixture cau be applied together with perfect safety. Use at the rate of 4 ounces of the arseu ites to 50 gallons of the mixture. The action of neither is weakened, and the Paris green loses all caustic properties. For insects which chew. LONDON PURPLE. This is used m the same proportion as Paris green, but as it is more caustic it should be applied with two or three times its weight of lime, or with the Bordeaux mixture. The composition of London purple is exceedingly varia ble, and unless good reasons exist for supposing that it contains as much ar senic as Paris greeu, use the latter pois Do not use Loudon purple on peach or plum trees unless considera ble lime is added. For iusects which chew. HELLEBORE. Fresh white hellebore. I ounce. Water, 3 gallons. Apply when thoroughly mixed. This is not so energetic as the araeu and may be used a short time be fore the sprayed portions mature. For insects which chew. KEROSENE EMULSION. Hard soap, 1-2 pound. Boiling water, ) gallon. Kerosene, 2 gallons. Dissolve the soap in the water, add the kerosene and churn with a pump for 5-10 minutes. Dilute 10 to 25 times before applying. Use strong emulsion for all scale insects. For insects which suck, as plant lice, mealy bugs, red spider, thirps, bark lice nr scale Cab bilge worms, currant worms and all in sect-? which have soft bodios cau also la* success- uiiy treated. BORDEAUX MIXTURE. Copper sulphate, 0 pounds. Quick lime, 4 pounds. Water, 40 to 50 gallons. Dissolve the copper sulphate by put it in a bag of coarse cloth and this in a vessel holding at least gallons, so that it is just covered by water. Use an earthen or wooden Shake the lime in an aqua, of water. Theu mix the two add enough water to make 40 gal It is then ready for immediate but will keep indefinitely. If the is to be used ou peach foliag is advisable to a Id a;i extra pound ot to the above formula. Whan »p plied to such plants as carnations or it will adhere better if aoout a pound of hard soap be dissolved in hot water and add*d to the mixture. 1 ,i„r e .
