Question. —Ple.vo tell in" the kind of Inuil best suited t> grou nl pens, iiml prive me a formula for a good t'ertiliz *r. Is compost or lot manure good for this •crop? Answer.— The best lnml for ground peas is a sandy loam with a good supply of lime present. If tins last element is wauling the crop will boa failure. If the land lacks lim, supply it at the rate of SO to 40 bushels to the acre—the larger quantity if the land has plenty of vegetable matter. This last is a very important adjunct to 3 aaeeesr.ful crop, and one reason that our crops of ground peas nre not larger, is that we attempt to raise them ou laud that has been cropped and recropped until the humus is ail, or nearly ail, exhausted. They require. besides lima, potash and phosphoric acid uitrogoa also, and it is well for that reason tu plant ground peas after cowpoiu, or in gathering the crop of ground pans, if tlio tops are not .otherwise utilized, to re turn them to the laud to be plowed under, ns contain a large proportion of the nitrogen used in the growth Of tha plant. The lime should be applied broadcast before plauting and freil- worked into the soil by the • harrow or cultivator. Lot manure or -compost may be used. It should, how ever, bo thoroughly decqmpjaed. Tho green or fermenting manure is not de sirable.

Question. —Would you advise plant-' ing fruits, pto.,' to tho oxelusiou of standard crops? * Avswjfft.—Your question suggest! a train of~sobor reflection. Thß success of fruit culture in Georgia might lead one to snppcso tliat with our advantages of soil and climate, fortunes might be easily realized iu an occupation so pleas ant. and kuown in individual instances, to be so prod table. But in farming, os indued iu all other occupations, it bus been proven again and again that all extremes are hurtful. That farmer is safest, who adheres to tho “happy mo mma” of diversified cr ips. Oar sur roundings make it comparatively easy to ruise tt great variety of crons, and wo would not advise the cultivation of any one crop, be it corn or cotton or grain or fruits, to the entire exclusion of all ofk. era. To snake our meat and bread and clothes, them must be corn and cotton and hogs raised on our farms, and wero farmers to any great extent to abandon these fur frilits or vegetables or any other single crop,-Itm consoqueude won'd be markets over.- t icked, ruinously low prices and utter disappoint meat. As we have so ofteu urged, the success ful handling of these minor crops im pliej not only a thorough familiarity with the best plans of culture, bat a study of systems of packing aud trans portation, as well ag of the markets themselves. It is sad to see the results of weeks and months of painstaking labor dumped into the sea, because snipped to markets already glutted. This lias boon repeatedly the case with fruits and vegetables shipped without a previous rtudy of the state of supply pud demand at different points, and the produce being in its uature perishable, tho mistake once made is irrevocable and irremediable. If we would succeed wc most not trust “all onr eggs to oue basket.” It would seem that the all wise Creator, when IJe gave us such a wide range f soil and climate, intended that we should utilize them to the best advantage. Ly that wise system of dir versify of crops which will insure all that we ufco.l.

Qckstion'.—Whut is your opinion as , to the best time to plant cotton, early or late, aud if the manure has already been put 1 the bed, should uuy more be ap plied at planting time? Answkk.—Very ranch dependi ou the quality jf ths laud, and its situation, ns ■yvoll as on tho climate. It should bo our aim as fur as possible to promote a Vigorous, healthy uml well balanced growth of the plants, and those are ar guments both for and against early planting, Eucli farmer must study and decide on the one which, with hie im medinta surronudiugg, will to the great est extout contribute to tlije healthy de velopment. If tho weather Is settled and warm, wo all know that tho plants are apt to grow off vigorously, forming “weed” very rapidly. Therefore, if we have tiotiood that uny of oov fields are disposed to ptuluca too rank a growth of stalk at the oxpouso of fruit, we should select these for our early plant ings, booanso If there is nay cheek of growth, on account of 000 l and unfavor able weather, these will be less Injured than if tlio plants nre less hardy, uiul tho temporary backset, will often, tend to a greater mot development, which will tu u measure correct tha undesira ble growth of big stalks with little fruit. Again wo nil know that cotton on light, gray lands is much more apt. to bjj killed by Into frost* Ilian that on heavier red lands, therefore reserve the gray lauds ns far as possible for the late planting* It is a good plan not fo plant tho fintlro crop ut one time. If tho sen ions prove unfavorable) the whole crop will not 1.0 Injured in tlio suiuo degree, nml who i the different fields of cotton come up ill convenient succession, the best plan of thorough and careful cultivation is more easily solvod. Asa rule the early plant ing are more favorable to the develop ment of fruit than * wood. The late plantings, ou tho other hand, being en couraged by the warm spring sunshine, grow off rapidly and are more easily worked hy both hoe nml plow. Another advantage of late planting Is that the [ first crop of t-ra-oi which already begin* to show is killed, mid thiG one plowing it?,lii thvfr first stage* of devidopmout, but whou tho roots be -111 to search ter foul, it i* well 1 1 have that which is, iintnrvliiitMy easy roach.
