GENERAL REMARKS.
Croat Suffering Among the Crops During
tlie Mouth of June.
During the mouth, throughout tbo
ptato, there is hardly a section that Ims
not suffered from the want of rain to
such an extent as to materially dainago
the growing crops.
■ The early part of the month brought
a drouirht or rather witnessed » contin
uation of the drouth of tire previous
month until all crops were parched
and withering for the want of rain.
When the rains came they were local in
character and sufficient water did not
fall to give the land the thorough wot
ting demanded by vegetation.
As a result of the season, we regret to
say that a referenoo to the tabulated
statement shows the present condition
and prospect as to both corn and cotton
that has been presented in the state in a
number of years.
COTTON.
The reports received for the month
have been larger than nsual in number.
For the state they show tho condition |
and prospect as compared with an aver
age of 77. This is 7 per cent lower j
than any year for the last five years, j
and is due in a large measure to thy
condition throughout north and middle
Georgia, which sections suffered most
from the very cold weather late in the
spring. The subsequent seasons lias
also been unpropitious for the recupera
tion and recovery of tho plant from the
injury previously suffered. In both'
sections the condition and prospect it
lower than shown by any report for the
past decade, in middle Georgia it is 71 j
per cent, and in north Georgia only Gi)
per cent.
Unlike cotton, corn shows the best
condition in north Georgia, while owing
to the drouth, the crop in tho southern
sections of the state is very poor.

Flace the seed or grain in a tight bin,
box, barrel or hogshead, or if the room
can be closed nearly air tight, pile it in
a conical heap on tho floor. For each
100 pounds of seed allow an ounce of
carbon bisulphide. Pour this intoacup
and sink the cup to the rim at the top
of tbe heap. Now cover tho heap with
an old carpet or thick cloth of any kind
to keep in the fames. If tho room is
not very largo and can he made quite
tight, no covering of the heap will be
necessary, but one-quarter to one-half
more carbon bisulphide must be used.
Keep the cloth on or the room olcued for
21 hours; then expose freely to the air,
and all traces of the carbon bisulphide
will quickly disappear. The edible
quality of tbe grain or Its ability to
sprout will be nowise injured by the
treatment. Carbon bisulphide readily
explodes in presence of fire, and j>o tire
or light must be brought into the room
as long as the peculiar odor of the car
bon bisulphide is perceptible.
Potatoes In North Carol Inn.
A North Carolinian writing to Coun
try Gentleman says:
We all of ns adopt the two crop sys
tem. Our first crop is marketed in the
great northern cities from June 1 to 15,
and in July we plant the second crop,
which matures in October, Our second
crop has heretofore been used for seod
and home consumption exclusively, hut
this year I shall be disappointed if we
do not meet your northern growors in
oven terms in the city market#. I can
not see why it is not entirely feasible,
or why, with potatoes at |1 a barrel, it
will not be vastly more profitable to us
than growing corn and cotton.
At the Texas station millo maize grows
well and resists drouth, but is not con
sidered superior to other sorghums for
forage.
Japan clover has been successfully
grown at the North Carolina station and
is strongly recommended as a renovator
of worn soils. »
Governor Flower, of New York, it

with New York farmers.

tion renders them less liable to it* at

'litpau Piuina.
The Japan plums constitute a race as
distinct from our native varieties as is
the LeConte psar from the Bartlett.
The trees resemble somewhat our vigor
ous varieties of the Chickasaw type, but
the foliage is larger and quite distinct.
Some are hardy as far north as where
the wild goose succeeds, and for our
southern states they open a new era in
p:um culture. Nurserymen have fruit
ed many varieties of this type and found
a number of decided value for both mar
ket and home use. The Botan type be
longs to the hardier group, and has giv
en good results in northern and western
states. Botan, Burbank and Ogon are
famiiar varieties of this type. The
Kelsey type is less hardy, and is recom
mended for sections below the thirty
fourth degree of latitude north. The
Kelsey, Satsuma and Masu are familiar
varieties of this type.

THE POULTRY YARDS.
! I‘urify tl»« Ilnni* hih! Keep ***** lllr.l*
11. ulilij Meth*>il« of rnrlfliotlon.
Many poultry men who keep their
I fowls confined to small yards clean the
poultry houses, hut never seem to think
it necessary to purify the yarils. If
| sickness visits their fowls, it is a inyn
-1 Serious dispensation of Providence, for
j have they not kept the houses clean t
j They do not think of the yards, whose
I soil lias become impregnated with the
j droppings of the fowls, and upon which
a green thing is never permitted to
grow. Following are methods of pnri
: fication rorommendod by The American
Agriculturist:
1. Where ; t is possible to do so sood
| the yard down to grass or clover and
j let it bear a crop one ye ar or raise upon
|it a crop of vegetables. Of course this
necessitates two yards for the fowls, a
plan that cannot always be pursued.
Or one can, with a movable fence, cut
off the fowls from the larger part of the
yard and sow that to some quick grow
ing crop, like oats, and when it has
grown five or six inches high let the
fowls in upon it. Or one can spade tho
yard in sections, sowing oats at each j
spading, and thus secure a little growth j
from them and a succession of growths i
of green food for the fowls A growing :
crop for one season puts the Boil in ex
cellent condition for the fowls, the crop
removing just the elements that were j
injurious to the fowls.
2. Spading up tho yards every few
weeks, either in sections or all at once,
turning up the soil to the action of the
sun ami air. Air is the best disinfectant
wo have, and plenty of it will help to
rob the soil of the element poisonous to
the fowls. Spading will do for a few
years, but after awhile it will not bo
sufficient.
8. The removal and casting away of
several inches of the soil and replacing
1t with fresh earth. It would pay a
gardener to do this, as the soil removed
is rich in fertilizing matter, hut few
have been fortunate enough to find the
gardener do this. But evon if ono has
to go to the expense of the removal it
payg better to do it than to have a lot
of sick and, therefore, unprofitable
fowls.
4. Temporary relief can lie had by
sowing the yards with land plaster.
This will hold the injurious emanations
and keep the air in a healthful condi
tion.
5. The soil can be disinfected l:y a
thorough drenching with sulphate of
copper diluted in water, about one
pound of the former to 100 gallons of
the latter. The soil should be thorough
ly drenched. Of these methods the
simplest is the best—raising a crop upon
tho yard.

• PEANUTS.
TV hat is tho best soil for peanuts? To
what kind of plants does it belong.
R. I. J., Rocky Face.
Tho peanut requires a calcareous or
lime soil. tVhere there is not sufficient
lime in the soil it should he sugplied, at
the rate of from 20 to 40 bushels to the
acre. It should also tie well manured,
Tho plant is a legumine.
SHICEP LICE.
Will you kindly give me a remedy for
lico in sheep. A. 1). H., Camilla.
If your sheep are dipped regularly
once a year as a rule they will be free
from lice. Pyrettiutn or Persian insect
powder, if it comes iu contact with the
lice, is sure death to them. The lice are
generally found on the inner part of the
thighs and fore lejjt, and on the sides
and neck. Two ounces of sulphur,
mixed with a pound of lard, to which
has been added 20 drops of creosote will
also kill the lice.
STRING HALT.
I have a horse that is stringhalted.
! Can you give me a remedy? What is
the cause of this disease or trouble?
I. A, M., Social Circle.
We know of no treatment that would
benefit stringhalt. It has been said
that file affection depends or rather is
the result of some obscure disease of the
sciatic nerve. It is, however, very
doubtful whether this is the true ex
planation of the trouble. Ib some cases
there is evidence that the hock itself is
affected.
The United States government will do
n graceful thing and a useful thing in
making a considerable appropriation for
the International and Cotton States ex
position, which opens at Atlanta in the i
autumn of 1885. The hustling the peo- j
pie of that city are doing in the way of
preparation is only to be compared to
that of Chicago in the busiest days be
fore its fair. What Atlanta and the
cotton states can do to make their show
a success will be done. The gods must
! help those who help themselves, and the
j gads in this case are the members of
congress. The commercial interests of
the whole nation will be forwarded by
that fair, because its promoters w.ll
bring in, as has never before been dohe,
exhibitors from the Wed Indies and
