ABOUT THE VELVET BEAN.
Information In Regard to a Valuable
Forage Plant.

AnswEe.—We have had no personal
experience with what is known as the
velvet bean,,and what£we shall.write
will necessarily be taken. from others
who have had snch experience.
■ Mr. A. P. Newheart’of Oconee, - Fla;,
writes that the pea or velvet bean ha's
been planted there for twenty years as
coverings for trellises and unsightly
places. The abundance of vibe and
foliage; bo completely covering the
gronnd after the frost, suggested the
idea of planting the beau.in his orchard
grove as a manure instead of, buying
commercial guanos. The result was so

Deab Sib—We have your favor ask
ing information in regard to. broom-
corn, and we reply as follows:
This plant is a variety of “sorghum”
and a.native of the East ladies. The
introduction of this plant is attributed
to Dr. Franklin, who, finding a seed on
a whisk-broom that'had boen imported,
planted it, and from this originated thp
culture of “broom corn” in the United
States. The average product of brash
per acre is abont 600 pounds. There has
been - produced from very fine soil' and
locality as high as 1,000 pounds per
acre. As there seems to be no substi
tute for broom-corn brash, there is
always a demand for it, and'it is a crop
that can be easily cultivated. It is a.
profitable one for the farmers to raise
in those sections to which it is well
adapted.
The seed makes a very good feed for
horses when mixed with oats. ' It is
also a fine food for poultry, after the
chicks are two or three weeks old, when
fed with other food. When ground
with our common Indian corn in pro
portion to three bushels of broom-born ' of fresh"lime.flacked..in.& gallons of

food for cattle, hogs or sheep. j tion for stink smut of wheat, and might

days when the farm was a little world

lords of the land and the money lend

scene has shifted aad now the merchant

The bean should be planted in April
or May, in middle Georgia, or abont the
same time yon plant field peas. Plant
as you plant the field peas; say from
three to five beans in a place, from 12 to
14 inches apart in three feet rows.
When the bean begins to ran, use -the
plow or cultivator; one or two plowing^
will be sufficient. The average yield
per acre is from 15 to 25 bushels of the
beans. The vines, which are abundant,
can be used as a forage for cattle or
horses, or they can be left on the land
to be turned under in the fall, which is
said fo be a very fine renovator of poor
exhausted lands, even better than the
pea vine. *

Florida Experimental Station, gives the

can plant with the hand,
tion is similar to that of corn, only you
have to use more care and skill because
of the smallness of the plant. Thinning
should be done when the plants are two.:
or three inches high, leaving five or six
in the hill, or if drilled, the stalks
should be left three or four inches apart.
The time of harvesting will depend
upon the use to be made of the crop.
When you plant only for the broom
corn brush, you may cut much earlier
than when the seed [is cue of the objects
sought. When the blossoms .begin to
fall, yon may begin your harvesting,
that is, if the brash is the object sohght.
The quality of the brash is better when
cut on the green order, for the reason
that it makes the straw tough and gives
it a live color, and accordingly com
mands a better price in the market.
Before harvesting it is enstpmary to
break down the stalks, turning down
the tops of the stalks of two rows to
wards each other, thus leaving a vacant
place for the laborer to work in cutting.
The stalks are broken about three feet
above the ground, and when the stalks
of two- rows are turned towards each
other, the stalks of, one row will cross
those of the other in such a manner as
the top9 will project abont a foot on
each side.
Each two rows are then broken in

keeping more stock on our farms. How
can I best improve the breed with least
cost? ’
Answer—Unquestionably the most
raised by tb9 farmer. ‘Let the good
work go on. Cotton mills are springing
up like magic all over Georgia. The
lumber and tnrpentine industries are,
as well as the iron and gold ore, all do
ing well. There is and will be a great
demand for grains and grasses, cattle,
hogs, poultry, butter and eggs. This
will bring into circulation more money
to buy^ more cotton goods than for
years, hence we believe that cotton will
be a good price next fall.
Concerning the planting of cotton we
advise that jnst as soon as the ground
has .been prepared and all danger of frost
is over, plant your cotton seed.-The early
plants, as a gederal thing, prodnee the
best fruit. Don’t wait until .the ground
becomes too dry to prodnee germination
of the seed. Bun a harrow over the
beds, when they are not fresh, so as to
freshen the surface.
profitable course for the general farmer
to pnrsue in improving the quality of
his live stock, is first to buy first-class
thoronghbred males.
The calves got
by a thoroughbred bull of any of the
best breeds, out of a mixed average lot
of cows, will posse33 much of the thor
oughbred sires, and the females of these
grades again bred to a thoronghbred
will give animals equal to,,the average
thoronghbred for all practical purposes
except that of procreation. The same
is trne of swine, sheep, poultry and all
kinds of farm stock. Geo,, then, the
purest lineage males and carefully select
the best of the female produce for
breeders and in a few years yon have
ingrafted all the excsllenmes of the
thoroughbred stock upon your flocks
and herds.
If you are not able to invest in a thor
onghbred alone, then get one or a half
dozen of yonr neighbors and together
buy the maie. Georgia is far behind
