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.

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: “The value of the wheat cron rj (o Ob'),. for Madison county*andJ)Mc democratic party.

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 other pia -os where tla-s anifn i! could possibly leave tho g.-rfn of this disease, (disinfect thoroughly with one quart carbolic, acid (erode form) to each buck et of wliitaw.ish ia'all the stalls and lots.

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 20 acres: orchards, vineyards, truck aud garde , forage crops, peanut*, ohufas. potatoes, melons, etc., 20 acre*.
