I Question.— Mv horse has a swr*l ,; of the bars 011 the ro >f of the luou. called, I believe "lampas.” Can leu it without burning with a h >t ir t , which seems to me u needlessly ciu operation. Answer.—N ever permit the cruel and brutal practice of burning the roof of mouth for "lampas.” This raithod is still pursued in some sections, bat it is an evidence of ignorance and cruelty. This condition is frequently due to teething in young horses, sometimes in old horses to indigestion, and it fre quently occurs when a young horse is taken from grass and fed on grain. Generally this swelling will get well without any treatment, but should the inflamation bo great enough to interfere with mastication, then lance where the most swelling appears, Afterwards, wash the mouth two or three times a day with a solution of alum and water. Keep this up for three or four days, feeding on grass or ground corn or oats, and your animal will get well.—State Agricultural Department. Grafting and Budding. Question. —Please tell me, in grafting or budding, does the new growth take the nature of the stock on which it is grafted, or of the tree from which the scions were taken ? Answer.—A grafted tree is an in stance of blended growth. As the emi nent authority Storer says: "The leaves and stems of the graft are nourished by food taken in from the soil through the roots of the stock, while the roots and other tissues of the stock are supported in their turn by food taken in from the air through the leaves of the graft.” The graft, however, retains the nature of the tree from which it was takeu, the stock being only the medium for furn ishing it with nourishment from the earth.—State Agricultural Department. 1 Irish Potatoes. Question. —Living in the latitude of Macon could I nlant Irish potatoes in the spring, follow with peas, cut the ' vines off, and then sow turnips in time | to mature? the seed, Will pomegranates how they grow best j from or are propagated? Answer. —It would not be impossible for you to make a crop of potatoes, peas turnips the with ' and same season, a very early spring and a very late fall to help you out. Under ordinary conditions you could not do it, and would have to content yourself with potatoes or peas, followed by turnips. The pomegranate is easily propagated by cuttings, layers, suckers or seeds. The seed should be planted soon after the fruit is ripe, or but few of them will vegetate.—.State Agricultural Department. Diversified Farming. Question. —Are there any statistics to prove that diversified farming is thp safest and most profitable? Answer.— The United States census for 1890 shows that 98 per cent of the farms sold under mortgage were de voted to only one or perhaps two crops, while of farms upon which several crops were grown only 2 per cent were thus disposed of. This fact should be a strong argument in favor of diversified farming. — State Agricultural Depart ment. To Ascertain Net Weight of Hogs. Question. —Please give me a simple plan to ascertain the net weight of hogs. Answer. —Under usual conditions, that is, when the hogs are in moder ately good order, four-fifths of the gross weight is about equal to the net weight; that is subtract oue-fifth from the whole weight of tire hog.—State Agricultural Department. Your cotton fires no d >ubt for want ol humus in the soil, and the humus must be restored before you can hope to pro vent the firing of the cotton by the use of fertilizers. According to the best au thorities “humus supplies nitrogen to the plaut, >> <• it imbibes and absorbs and holds water, and the vapor of water.” ‘‘it improves the texture of many soils.” ‘‘And it absorbs and holds ammonia and the salts of ammouia, as well as various other substances.” ‘‘Moreover, by its slow decay humus supplies carbonic acid for the dissolving of plant food.” To replace the humus in your soil yon must plant rye this fall, to be tarneu under in the spring; follow that with a crop of peas, fertilizing at the same time with 100 pounds of acid phosphate and 60 pounds of kainit to the acre. Gatliei the peas and let the vines remain up >n the land. The following spring put in cotton if you wish, and using the above fertilizer, I am sure you would nmae c good cotton crop After that meat; your crops in such a manner that yoi will not have cotton on the same lain oftener than once in three years. Plan more small grain, more field peas, etc. and in this way you can keep up the rV: tility of your soil, and make crops tin lyill be a pleasure and a profit. MONEY IN.*—. THE MISSING WORD.
