again, as in ISfij, Georgia will not have
to look to the west for her bread and

a most excellent' combination, neither

Tlie Bermuda is shallow-rooted and a

April the clover seed will mature and
scatter over thcx"l;round. Tho land can
then be pqt in late corn or in peai, and
when these crops aro taken off tlie Sep

Question.—Plense give mo the beat
plan to kill Bermuda grass. Shall I hi
gin now, or would it bo best to wait un
til later?
Answer.— The late fall or winter ly
the best time to begin operations to dO
-a Bermuda sod. Have a sharp
turning plow and set It to run about
three or four inches deep. The object
is to go just deep enough to get under
file mat of roots and turn them over,
exposing them to tho drying influences
of suu and air. As soon as they are
somewhat dry, run the liar ow over the
field. Tiiis will drag many root, to the
surface where fhoy w.ll dry inoro thor-'
oughly. The horse rake can now gather
them into winrmvs, and when dried
sufficiently to fire, they should be
burned. Repeat this thpcipgtj fhe win
ter, as opportunity occurs—first th#
plowing, then the harrowing, lastly ra)sj
Ing into winvows and bnrniqg. Whifii
the spring opons plant the land in some
cleanly cultivated crop, and whet} this
is taken off, put in a quickly growing,
smothering crop, as cow peas, or later,
rye, oafs, wheat, if the ground is in fine
tilth, crimson clover, or vetch. While
Bermuda is dreaded by miiny farmers,'
on account of the difficulty of eradiat
ing it, wo would, if we had a well set
pastnro of Bermuda, hesitate a long
time before we would decide to destroy l
it. It is peculiarly ndaptod to oar cli
mate and both as a green food and tar
hay ranks among the first Like
other green thing, jt.'pnproves under
culture, atjd with plenty of food, but
will also make a brave fight' for exist
ence oven under the most adverse cir
cumstances. With . cow peas and Ber

Question.— How shall I prevent the
escape of ammonia from my manure
I pile and a 1 so fro n my stables? That it
I does escape, L am eouviooed. ns more
than ouo seuso bears to.timuny to thi
flV’t.
Answer —The most popnlar absorb
ent of ammonia is fine ground laud
plaster or gypsum Any low grsije pot
ash salts vrill-also prev mt the escape of
tho ammonia. If cither is sprinkled in
the stable daily it will prevent any dis
agreeable odor arising from the decom
posing manures. As to which shouid
be used depends very lunch on the laud
on which the manure is to be applied.
If the laud needs potash, then nsekainit,
which contains about 12 pounds of pot
ash to the 100 pounds, or some othej
potash salts. Where the land needs
lime, me plaster. Woods earth is alee
a good absorbent.— State Agricultural
