though the hoary itaius in th| early
part of the month sigiiexvhut retarded
work, and the nights ami unn-u

delayed vegetation. We liare, all
thing? considered, a backward spring,
which is somewhat discouraging to
general farm work, yet hope is a;'nin
ill the ascendancy, fanners are busy,
farm work is assuming definite shape,
and the retarding of’ vegetation has
proven such an advantage to our fruit
crops that the prospect for abundant
yields or ail Kinds is most flattering.
Corn is well up, in some sections
growing off Vigorously, and the bulk
of the cot am crop is planted. The in
dications arc that tho acreage has been'
reduced, raid that tho grain crops are
correspondingly increased. While fall
oats wore a ia. lure, the spring crop is
promising, ami tho vivid green of ths
wheat fields attests the healthy and
vigorous condition of that crop. Farm

increase in tho area of our corn crops -a
important, and it is equally important
that a lull supply of food 'crops oi ail
hinds be assured. The reports frost
different sections of. thOTJtato indicate
that a heavy crop of corn has been
planted. Tho :iirmor. have taken no
chances for a short market, aud with
the blessings of Providence' we may
meet a decline in the price of cotton
without experiencing the deadly chill
which that met has so often carried to
our hearts. 1 quote tho following from
the Manufacturers’ Record to, ii possi
ble, bring home to the minds of our
farmers the importance of this subject
and to emphasize the nec-jfsiry of plant
ing and saving every possible of
hay. forage, peas, peavjnes, ensilage,
and of putting iiTgfcv.m props for sum
mer feeding, besides grouudpoas and
clmfas to start the fattening hogs in
the fall:
“The total production of corn in the
United States in 1894 was 1,313,003,000
bushels, a decrease of over 4i)0,000,0u0
bushels as compared with JSOU. and a
decrease of 800,000.003 bushels as com
pared with 1891. Fortunately the south
had a large crop ‘."his year, or other*
wise it, would have had to purchase its
corn at a very high figure, because of
this great shortage. AJ the average
crop of rho United Si*tes for soma
years lias boon about 1,7*9,000,000 bush
el.--, ihe production of the last two
years is over, 500.000. t> Of) 1 inshels short
of the average. The country will
therefore outer upon the next ufopyear
with r>. very small stock of corn on
hand—so small, indeed, that evaa
should we have another 2,0' 1 !),000,000
bushel crop, at in 1891, it would require
all of this enormous yield to make up
for the deficiency of tho last two years.
Iveil>!:.mid such a crop as this bo pro
duaed, .prices would probably stiH be
high, because of t he decrease in 1894.
Another smarli crop following rho one
of last year would necessarily nieau ex
wi'iranr prices for corn.
“B--“ .'uiS!!.of, thesa (geta it tfecornlip
more imperative than ever bet'ofo that
ihe j'rti'h should increase its corn acre
age ’-hi-‘ year. The south’s largo crop
las!, year was due more to a heavy yield
Tier acr than to a large increase in
acreage. If this section is to maintain
its independence of the west so far as
corn ivs concerned, every effort should
bo made to urge upon farmers the im
portance of planting a larger acreage
this year than ever befoio. With a big
corn crop the south is better prepared
to stand low priced cotton than it could
in any other way.
•'lt behooves every trade organization
in the south, aud every business man
individually, as well as the press, to
persistently exert all possible influence
to encourage an increase of acreage in
corn and other food supplies.
“If the vigorous work of the press is
supplemented in this direction by the
active personal co-operation of bankers,
business men aud all others who deal
with farmers, it will be possible to se
cure an increase of 25 or more per cent
in the acreage devoted to corn aud
foodstuffs compared- with last year.
“The vital interest which the entire
south has iu the increase of its grain
production, which also means an in
crease in the snpply of provisions,
promp’s the Manufacturers' Record to
press this matter upon the attention of
every man in the south.”
To these rather startling figures may
be added the following equally import
ant facts as to the present wheat
supply:

Dublin, Ga., April l
! It. T. Nksbm’t, Cummii.sioaer of
A.'ricnlrafb:
•
Dkau -Six—At your request 1 visited
the plantation of Mr. Ross Stinson,
two miles west of Dublin, Douron coun
ty, to investigate a disease among his
mules, supposed to b l ’ glanders. A good
deal of interest was manifested in the
ease by the citizens of Dublin from tlie
wellknown iacal nature of glanders. 1
found one gvcv mule suffering from
glanders in the chronic form. The
common and characteristic symptoms
of this form of the disease were too
well defined to leave the slightest pos
sibility of doubt. The discharge was
from both nostrils of a white gluey na
jiure, in earlier stages having been
streaked with blood The ulcerated
patches on the mucous membrane in
each nostril Had eaten clear through the
repiurn nasi, the characteristic swell
ings ot the submasiliary glands were
about tho size of a lien’s egg. These
glands are situated in.the space wider
tho lower jaw. whoro the abcoss of dis
temper (strangles) comes, but unlike
strangles, those never break and run,
ami they aro larger at times than oth
ers, and again get very small, lint
never disappear. The animal seldom,
if ever, coughs, as in distemper, but
snorts or snoozes a good deal, and in.
that way throws out a good deal of the
accumulated virus.
Mr. Stinson’s other stock, some five
or six, have beb exposed to it, though
at present showing no signs of tho dis
ease. The mulo was pure nased by Mr.
Stinson about tho fifteenth of. Jaunary
past and had a discharge from the nose,
then which was supposed to'be a ship
ping cold. This is a form o: disease
most to be feared because there is no
urgent symptoms. T.ie Iran nature of
tho disease may bp overlooked by the
ordinary observor.
There is only one safe thing to do,
that is, to at once kill niid bury tho
affected animals (loop, buni up all the
feedboxos aud wui.-.rrion glis ,-in-l nil

Axswica The following from tht.
Georgia *xx porimutrt station covers this
quostion lnily:
‘‘IIOTAXIOB.
“This is basod on what would Ik
called a tlireo years' course, but bus been
pccasioiially luidifiod aoaordiug to the
exigencies Which arise in the oourso of
extensive field experimentation. The
main features of the system are chiefly
applicable to the four leadiug orops on
the average Georgia farm— small grain,
cowpens, cotton and corn; but tho prin
ciple is alto applicable to the smaller
crops, or those occupying relatively
smaller areas. Tho three years’ course
In these main crops implies a division
of the larger part of a farm into three ap
proXimately equal parts. I will suppose
that, the sysci-m is to bo applied to r.u
ordinary private farm, and abogiuuiug
to be made, say, Sept 1. •
“First Year.—One third of tho land
Bhonld be sown in small grain, mainly
oats, devoting corn land to this. Tho
email grain should be liberally fottil
ized with a highly ammoniated fertil
iser. On the station no better vnrioty
of oats has baou found than the Appier
oat; a strain of the Texas rustproof;
but tho latter is nearly as good. The
only objection to the Appier (as well as
the Texas) is tho fact that it is not*dis
tinctively a winter oat; it is liable to
bo killed by very sovero freesos. The
iwifitor turf is more hardy in this re
spewD; b®t not so proof against rns£.
“Tho oaf s should be followed imme
diately by oowpoas, sown either in 8
to 4 feet dtllls or broadcast. Our.ex
periments indicate that, planted in the
drill and p owed once or twioo, cow
peas will y ie!d more peas, as well as
more hay. But many prefer sowing
broadcast, because (1) it involves loss
labor, but more seed, and (2) the crab
and other native grasses that spring Up
and mmur with tho peas make it
easier to ci re tho liny. If broadoast,
four to five pecks are sufficient to seed
an aero. Tho crop should receive a
doso of about 200 pounds of acid phos
phate and 100 pounds of kainic *per
acre. Oar experiments indicate that it
is decidedly best to convert the pea
vines into hay, mowing them when in
fnll bloom and when there are a few
grown poda.
“The stubble may remain and alight
second growth will be secured bofore
frost. Just beforo or soon aftor a kill
ing frost tho pea stubble is turned un
der with a 2-horse plow. If convenient
to pasture, cattle and hogs inay be
turned on successive portious of the
pea fields, instead of converting the
vinos into hay; or a portion of the peas
rnay be picked.
“fjecoud Year.—The same division
should be liberally fertilized and plant
ed in cotton, using the very best geed
obtainable. In ths fall of the year,
say in September, it is suggested to
sow tho cottou fields In rye, say one
half bushel, or less, por acre, or in
crimson clover. This is especially re
commended on land that is liable tSy
wash Aid loach daring tho winter; but
tho principal aim is to snpply a grow
ing crop that will appropriate and hold
the soluble plant food left in tho soil,
or that will become soluble during the
winter.
“Third Year.— The land previously
in cotton is the place for the corn crop.
During the latter part of January and
by Feb 20, the ground should be thor
oughly broken, flush, with a 2-horso
plow. Oil tho station it has not been
found expedient or profitable to fortil-.
izu tho corn ortp very lightly; but it
shonld rather follow a highly fertilized
cotton crop. Cowpoas should bo plant
ed in the mid lies between the corn
rows—if wider that! five feet; or sown
corn shonld bo followed by small grain
and cowpoas—commencing again.
"The above is a general outline of
the system which is recommended for
general adoption throughout the cotton
belt. Of cour.ie it may be modified ac
cording to circumstances. For iu
stanc", in some sections tobacco may
take the place-—in part or in whole—of
cotton; in the mountain region the oats
may bo found to succeed butter if sown
in the spring, etc.
"I have followed up only one of the
three suppo.e l divisions of tho farm in
tho above outline; of coarse tho other
two will rotate in the same order,
so that each your one-third shall be in
small grain and peas, ouo-third in cot
ton and one third in corn. Those throe
principal divisions cover the main_por
EDW. UcCOWiN, Ktiiifii limi
tlon of the farm In cultivation. There
may be another division equal in ex
tent, devoted to permanent pasture/!
The minor orops of the farm,
sweet potatoes, truck patches, forage ;
for soil feeding, orchards, eta, may',
have a rotation aiming themselves, ana?
together may cover an area nearly equal*,
to one of the main crops, so that in,,
practical onerati. m a farm of 100 aores''
of ’open land’ may be divided some-' j
what as follows: Small grain andl’
peas, 20 acres; cotton, 20 acres; <fcru
and peas,' 20 acre.’; permanent

gtaudors, but a sevore case of oolt

10-s of flesh, hoavy breathing, profuse

treatment, Which we described. A
good deal of uneasiness was aroused in
tlie neighborhood of Air. Johnson from
tho leal' of the ease being glanders. I.
am glad to say it Jins al I quieted dowu i
