GENERAL REMARKS-.
Great Suffering Aiunng the Crup» Duriuj
tlie Jlloiil!i of June.
During the month, throughout tho
state, there is hardly a section that has
not suffered from the want of rain to
such an extent as to materially dam ago
the growing crops.
The early part of the month brought
a drought or rather witnessed a contin
uation of the drouth of tho 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 tho thorough wet
ting demanded by vegetation.
As a result of the season, we regret to
say that a reference to tho 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 usual in number.
For the state they show the condition
and prospect as compared with an aver
age of 77. This iB 7 per cent lower
than any year for the last iive years,
and is due in a large measure to the
condition throughout north and middle
Georgia, which sections suffered most
from the very cold weather late in the
spring. The subsequent seasons has
also been unpropitious for the recupera
tion and recovery of the plant from the
injury previously suffered. In both
sections.the condition and prospect .a
lowor than shown by any report for tho
past decade, in middle Georgia it is 71
per cent, and in north Georgia only CS
per cent.
CORN.
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.

Destroying Wevlls.
Place tho seod or grain in a tight bin,
box, barrel or hogshead, or if the room
earn be closed noarly air tight, pile it in
a conical heap on the floor. For each
100 pounds of seod allow an o'unce of
carbon bisulphide. Pour this into a cup
and sink the cup to the rim at tho top
of the heap. Now cover tho heap with
an old carpet or thick cloth of any kind
to keep in the fumes. If the room is
not very largo and cun bo made quite
tight, no covering of the heap will bo
necessary, but one-quarter to one-half
more carbon bisulphide must ho usud.
Keep the cloth on or tho room deed for
21 hours; then expose freely to tho air,
and all traces of the carbon bisulphide
will quickly disappear. The edible
quality of the graiu or its ability to
sprout will l)e nowise injured by tho
treatment. Carbon bisulphide readily
explodes in presence of tire, anil no tiro
or light must bo brought into the room
as long ns the peculiar odor of the car
bon bisulphide is perceptible.
l*otato«*a in North (urolimi.
A North Carolinian writing to Coun
try Gentleman says:
We ali of us adopt the two crop sys
tem. Our first crop is marketed in the
great northern cities from June 1 to 15,
and in July wo plant the second crop,
which matures in October, Our second
crop has heretofore been used for seed
mid home consumption exclusively, but
tins year I shall be disapiiointed if wo
do not meet your northern growers in
even terms in the city markets. I cun
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 us a renovator
of worn soils.
Governor Flower, of New York, is
taking a great deal of interest in good
roads, and is talking over the subject
w'ith New York farmers.
There is no known remedy for hog
cholera, but whatever contributes to
keeping the animals in healthy coudi
tiou renders them less liable to its at
tack.
<Upan i’luthft.
The -Japan plums constitute a race as
distinct from our native varieties as is
the Le Conte pjar from the Bartlett.
The trees resemble somewhat our vigor
ous varieties of the Chickasaw type, but
the foliage is larger and quite distinct, i
Some are hardy as far north as where
the wild goose succeeds, and for our
southern states they open a new era in
plum culture. Nurserymen have fruit
ed many varieties of this type and found
a numt>er of decided value for both mar
ket and home use. The Botau type be
longs to the hardier group, and has giv
en good results in northern and western
states. Botan, Burbank and Ogon are
familar 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 earlier symptoms of dyspepsia,
hejirtburn and occasional headaches,
should not be neglected. Take Hood's
Sarsaparilla to be cured.

THE POULTRY YARDS.
I*urlfy the Ran* ami K|-.|) I lie Itird.
Healthy—Malho.l* of I'uriUoiHlon.
Many poultry tnen who keep their
I fowls confined to small yards clean the
! poultry houses, but never seem, to think
it necessary to purify the yards. If
i sickness visits their fowls, it is a mys
| terious dispensation of Providence, for
J have they not kept tho hous s dean?
They do not think of the yards, whose
soil has become impregnated with tho
droppings of the fowls, and upon which
a groen thing is never permitted to
grow. Following are mctiio Is of puri
fication recommended by The American
Agriculturist:
1. Where it is possible to do so sued
tho yard down to grass or clover and
let it hear a crop one year or raise upon
it a crop of vegetables. Of course this
necessitates two yards for the fowls, a
plan that cannot always he pursued.
Or one can, with a movable fence, cut
off the fowls from the larger part of tho
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. <>r one can spado the
yard in sections, sowing oats at each
spading, and thus secure a little growth i
from them and a succession of growths !
of greon food for tho fowls. A growing
crop for one season puts the soil in ex
cellent condition for tho fowls, the crop
removing just the elements that were
injurious to the fowls.
3. Spading up the yards every few
weeks, either in sections or all at once, j
turning up the soil to the action of the
sun and air. Air is the best disinfectant
wo have, and plenty of it will help to
rob tho soil of the element poisonous to
the fowls. Spading will do for a few
years, but alter awhile it will not bo
sufficient.
8. Tho removal and casting away of
several inches of the soil and replacing
it 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 tho
gardenor do this. But oven if one lias
to go to the expense of the removal it
pays bettor to do it than to have a lot
of sick and, therefore, unprofitable
fowls.
4. Temporary relief enn be had by
sowing tho yards with land plaster.
This will hold the injurious emanations
and keep the air in a healthful condi
tion.
5. The soil ran ho disinfected by a
thorough drenching with sulphate of
copper diluted in water, about one
pound of tho former to 100 gallons of
tho latter. Tho soil should ho thorough
ly drenched. Of these methods the
simplest is tho host—raising a crop upon
the yard.

PEANUTS.
What is tho best soil for peanuts? To
what kind of plants does it belong.
It. 1. J., Rocky Face.
The peanut requires a calcareous or
lime soil. Where there is not sufficient
lime in the soil it should he sugplied, at
the rate of from 20 to 40 bushels to tho
acre. It should also lie well manured.
The plant is a legutuine.
SHEEP MCE.
Will you kindly give me a remedy for
lice iu sheep. A. I). H., Camilla.
If your sheep are dipped regularly
onoo a year as a rule they will be free
from lice. Pyrethum or Persian insect
powder, if it comes iu contact with the
lice, is sure death to them. The lice are
generally found on the iunor part of the
thighs and fore legs, anil 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.
STKINGHAI.T.
I have a horse that is stringhalted.
Can you give me a remedy? What is
tho 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 the affection depen is 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. In some casus
there is evidence that the hock itself Is
allotted.
The United Htates government will do
a graceful thing and a useful thing iu
making a considerable appropriation for
! the International and Cotton States ex
position, which opens at Atlanta in the
autumn of 1895. The hustling the peo
ple of that city are doing in the way of
preparation is only to be compared to
that of Chicago in the tiusiest 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
gads iu this case are the menjbers of
congress. The commercial interests of
the whole nation will be forwarded by
that fair, because its promoters will
