In the case of pons, tne crop can be taken off either in tho form of gaNi cred nay or peas, or the stock, hogs, cows and wiwt aniina'3 can be turned in to harvest it with great benefit to tfieiuseives and litiie injury to the land, nulooa in a very wet season.

ELLAVILLE GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING OCTOBER 17th. 1895 vegetation in c:io soil soured and mim ed its texture very much. On the otn er h ind, I.m had a crop of cowpeas in a young p'.ar orchard, which, through tne press of other work, ho neglected to plow under until tuey became so heavy that r icy 'dodged, ’’ and he then abandoned the intent :J|h and left them to rot on the ground. Tsext spring, o . plowing this o.o.iarl, lie found tu* land in an admirab.e cony.it.o:i, as nnd and lig.u as an ash neap ” .ow as Question 2 — What- is the best tim ;o sow hu lgaviau Brnas grass, siiculd on what kind oi ia:vi, and w.ieu l ■.*} cut ? Is it a good winter grass? Answer 2— It mav be sown either i:i the fall or early spring and should be cat just as it begins to biooin. Like all other crops the better the condition of tne £Oii the better the yield. On poor soils it grows abont a foot to afoot anl a half high, in more favorable lo cac o ts and when properly managed it frequently attains a height of from three to tour teat-. Its underground roots grow most rapidly in light sandy loams, but tuey also penetrate the stif fest clay and form a good sod. At the south it is esteemed more for grazing than cutting. It stands even protract ed drouth remarkably well, and does not seem to be affected by sudden or extreme changes of temperature, ii the land is prepared the same as lor other grasses and other conditions are favorable it has been found to succeed where flic finer grasses have failed. In our section it remains green through the winder and seex-s r.o be gaining fa vor for winter pasturage. Tim seed should be sown xxnui x) 1 with other va rieties as its habit is sncii as to ch oc out other vegetation. On this arc m. t eare should be exen-'ffal in selecm: n loca:ion for its growth, On field whore rotation of crops is practiced it introduction is ii"f desirable ns the son ■s tough and douse and might prove verv troublesome Quits nos i — Would yon mlvis > tin bn> mg of a high grivlo fe* t l zer at a tig'i price, or oue of lower gra .c at leas •;ost?

The per cent of plant food n a h.gh grade of fertilizer being arver than in tne low grade, t i» pro jortionabie freight is therefore less. ,iso the n ir igeft in the high grade ■nods is u uaHy derived from better taterial tuaij that tu the low graue 00 is.

This information is taken chiefly from a report to the department of agricul ture at Washington: LOCATION OF SILO. Should be built in reference to con venience of feeding the stock, conse quently it should bo very near, or in or connected to the stables. FORM OF SILO. Immaterial as regards the keeping df the contents, but it is cheaper and easier to build in shape of a parallelo gram, with the sides longer than the ends. walls of silo. If above ground, two thicknesses cf inch boards with sheating paper bo tweon (which seine think unnecessary) will be saflb lent if supportetl against latieral pressure by the ensilage. CAPACITY CF SILO If entirely fihed witn c mipressod en silage, the silo will contain £0 pounds to the cubic foot. COVER. A layer o? straw or hay on the top of the eusilagRi and then planks on top of that, weighted d<iW 1 by any heavy ma terial, snci* as Btones, earth, etc. A little space saonld be allowed between the walls and cover, that the cover may not catch on or against the wail as the ensilage settles. COST. The cost of silos varies from $4 to $5 for walls of heavy masonry, to AO cents •r less for simple wooden silo* per ton •f capacity. *T cr^ >■ We beg to announce that we are again at our same old stands in the Cotton Warehouse and General Mer chandise business, and ask the same liberal share of your patronage. Mr. Hill will weigh yrur cotton and see that you get the highest market price for same. With two live buyers in the market representing large export dealers there is no reason why we should not have a market second to none. General Merchaneise Before buying it wi 1 ! pay you to drop in and get our prices on Groceries, Staple, £)ry Goods, Notions, Hats Shoes, –c. We bought early before the advance in prices and propose to give our customers the benefit of same. Thanking you for past favors, we are yours to serve Hill – Arrington. CROPS FOR KNSTL4.GR. Corn takes the load o; eusiingi crons, anil when mixed with field peas makes a very line feed. Com planted for en silage will produce from lf» to <:0 tons to the acre (58 tons has been made), and is at its best for eusilags When it has attained its mil growth and before ripening begins. PREPARING! CORN, PR A3, E7C., FOR TIB SILO. This should bn done by a cutter driven by horse power or steam, wi . earners to take the ensilage from th cutter to the “op of the silo. The corn pea vines, etc., should bo cut fine, r. pieces not. over all inch in length; it packs closer and for tnis reaso i is a... to keep hotter than coarse ensilage. FILLING 'IHR SILO During the process of fi'ding, tiio en silage should bo kent level and wed trodden. Some a"tabu much nnpo'' auce to-rapid fillin', while others mcl e it more a matter of convenience. WY the packing equally thorough, ran filling is probab y less.
