BISULPHIDE OF CARBON. j
Now and Recent Uses—Hovr to Inject j
it A round Trees. j
Carbon bisulphide is a liquid that va- ,
jjorizos very rapidly when exposed to i
tlie air. 7ho vapor or fmnes are explo- |
five and very deadly to all animals, in- |
(ludiiiLT man. Most plants are not in- j
jured when subjected to the fumes, but ,
if the liquid comes in contact with any •
part of plants it often kills that portion J
quickly. Hence it is usually safe to al- ;
lov<- only the fumes to come in contact J
nut! uur experiments indicated that it j
was one of the best methods of fight- j
ing this serious cabbage pest, says M.
V. Slingerland in Rural New Yorker. j
Recently fruit trees have been treat- \
ed with the liquid for the woolly aphis j
and the peaoh tree borer. We were un-
successful in our experiments against |
the peach tree borer, and large quanti-s.
ties of the liquid were used in Califor- j
nia in peach orchards with the result j
that many borers are said to have been j
killed, and some also killed hundreds |
of their trees. In Missouri apple trees ,
were treated for the woolly aphis with j
successful results when the liquid was i
properly applied. It was found that
when the liquid was injected into the
soil near the trunk or base of the tree 1
it usually killed the tree, but when in
jected away from the tree a foot or
two, taking care not to strike a main j
or large root, that no injury resulted to
the trees.
Thus experiments show that if the
substance is injected into the soil sc
that none of the liquid touches tlie
roots the fumes may penetrate all
through and around tlie roots and kill
all animal life in the soil without injur
ing the roots. In the case of small
plants like cabbages, strawberries and
the like one should inject tlie liquid
in the manner shown in the figure, be
ginning several inches away from the
base of tlie plant, making a slanting
hole extending underneath the root
system of the plant and arrange (with
the injector or by means of a tin tube
or funnel inserted in the hole) to apply
the liquid at the bottom of tlie hole.

Movable Fodder Hack.
A very good fodder rack for cattle is
made either of poles or of lumber. A
plank will answer for the bottom of
tlie rock proper, and the boards should
he far enough apart to let the cattle
get the fodder freely from the rack.
TERRACING FIELDS.
It Improves Lnstd. Distributes "Water
More Evenly, Etc.
A large majority of tlie people do not
know anything about terracing, and it
is strange to us that a farming people
will not terrace t heir lands.
Part of South Carolina is rather hilly
country, and all the farms a> - e terrac
ed. Our lands are improving, the sand
has washed out of the streams, bridges
do not wash away as they once did,
crops oil terraced lands will stand dry
weather longer, rows are on a level.
You plow on a level all the time, and in
time of heavy rains the water is evenly
distributed on the land. Of course ter
raced land is some more trouble to
work. You got long rows, short rows
and very crooked rows. y?t you save
the rich soil. It is not ncFs.sary to em
ploy a civil engineer to do this unless
you have a large farm and want it
done fast; then get one. for with his
instruments tlie wind will not give any
trouble, and you will need it done hut
once.
If a man has time, lie can make and
use any one of many leveling contriv
ances where a spirit level or plumb
line is used to determine levels and run
as good a terrace as can he done with
any instrument. To the highest point
in tlie field run the first line and move
down the hill far enough to give three
feet fall, and so on down. Have a one
horse plow to follow right after the
level to mark off lines. Then take a
two horse turn plow and go around
them, cutting out very short crooks.
On some land put four furrows. Com
mence on lower side of first terrace
and run all rows with it. putting the
short rows against second terrace.
Then start on lower side of second ter
race, and thus on down. 1 believe if
the land on the Mississippi and its trib
utaries were properly terraced that the
overflows would soon cease, says a cor
respondent of Farm and Ranch.

RACK FOR FODDER.
Tlie outside rack will catch the surplus
and stock will pick that over later on
when the suoply runs short in tlie
rack. It is built on runners so it can
he moved from place to place with a
team. The outside rack should be
made of heavy poles, as the reaching
of the cattle will break ordinary lum
ber.
Uncapping Honey.
A German journal describes the fol
lowing apparatus for uncapping honey:
A strong tin dish 20 inches long. 12
inches wide and G inches high lias rest
ing in it, supported at proper distance
from bottom, a piece of wire cloth with
meshes five to the inch. On this rests
VVTieat Sowing In Georgia.
The almost universal belief is that
the seed should be sown about tlie
time when the first killing frost usual
ly occurs or from tlie middle of Octo
ber to the middle of November, accord
ing to latitude. Wheat is more likely
to be injured by insects when sown too
early than are oats and other small
grain. Tha regular grain drill will in
variably give better results than when
the seed are plowed in or harrowed in.
But many farmers will not find it expe
dient to incur the expense of such a
machine. Very satisfactory results
may be secured when sowing only a
few acres by-first getting the land in
tine smooth condition and then sow tlie
seed in shallow drills made with a
small plow from IS to 24 inches apart,
sowing the seed by-hand through a
“guano trumpet.” About 1 to 1% inch
es below the general surface is about
the proper depth for the seed to be de
posited.
One bushel is about the proper quan
tity of seed for one acre of well adapt
ed and well fertilized soil when sown
with a drill machine or in furrows by
hand. The seed, however, may be put
in with a cutaway harrojv, and many
of the fine crops made in 1S98 were
thus sown.—R. J. Redding.
Candied Honey.
At tlie approach of winter extracted
honey will candy or crystallize unless
kept in a temperature above 80 de
grees, and even then with some kinds
of honey it is difficult to prevent it
from candying. This is regarded by
most beekeepers as a test of its purity.
Iloney that has been adulterated with
glucose or other foreigu matter as a
rule will not granulate or crystallize
when kept in a moderately cool place.
Honey that has granulated may be re
stored to its liquid form by placing the
bottle or jar in a pan aud setting on
tlie kitchen stove or range. Tlie pan
should be partly filled with water aiul
heated slowly until the honey is melt
ed. If melted gradually and only heat
ed enough to restore it to its liquid
state, it does not injure or impair tlie
flavor in the least.—American Garden
ing.

Brief Mention.
Where sweet potatoes are grown for
stock the Texas experiment station
suggests that cattle may be turned in
to eat the tops and vines, aud afterward
hogs may be allowed to harvest the
tubers. In this way the entire crop will
be utilized at the smallest cost.
A great cotton combination is pro
posed in the organization of cotton
planters, ginners and bankers through
out the cotton belt. The object is to se
cure and furnish to the members cor
rect statistics and information which
will enable producers to market the
crop intelligently and for its true value.
Southern mills are said to favor the
plan. Harvey S. Jordan of the Georgia
association is pushing the project.
Alfalfa has been very successfully
introduced into Louisiana, and consid
erate interest in manifested in it.
Secretary Hester of the New Orleans
Exchange in his annual report of the
cotton crop figures the consumption of
cotton by American mills at 3,665,412
hales, as against 3,5S9,494 bales last
year, the increase being altogether in
the southern mills, which increased
their consumption from 1,399,399 to
1,597,112 bales.
Secretary Wilson is quoted as saying
that there is a great demand abroad for
first class horses and especially such
horses as are more common to the j
south than anywhere else. We can |
produce, he said, such cattle and such
teams as are wanted in foreign coun
tries and bring the best prices there
cheaper than they can be produced
elsewhere.
