The cow-pea has been so long
known in Georgia as renova
tor of exhausted soils, and is so com
monly recommended for green ma
nuring, that many Imagine that this
plant needs no fertilizer to assist in
its own growth.
Although it draws nitrogen from
the air for its own use, for each pound
of this ingredient it requires more
than a pound of potash and consider
able phosphoric acid, each of which
It must receive artificially where not
supplied in the needed) quantity by
the soil. A part of the nitrogen nec
essary for complete growth must also
oome from the soil. If there he lack
of nitrogen, the beans will take on a
same time benefits the fruits ana trees
to turn in hogs and. sheep in time for
them to eat the early wind-fall fruit
and work up the excellent pasture into
fat, marketable live stock.
Saving for Hay.
Cow-pea hay should be cut and
cured when the earliest pods begin
to ripen. It is better to cut before any
pods are ripe than to wait too lang.
pods are ripe than to wait too long,
for, when too long delayed, the stems
become hard and woody.
Since the hay cures slowly and is,
subject to heating, it should be thor
oughly dried before being stacked or
stored in the barn. The hay-making
should begin only when the weather
promises to be fair. Unnecessary
handling should be avoided, since it
causes loss of leaves. Since curing
cannot be rushed like that of grasses,
it is better to allow a crop to be a
little over-ripe than to attempt to save
it in rainy weather. The dry yield is
yellowish hue, and the plant will in
dicate its lack of vigor by a general usually from two to three tons to the
sickly appearance. About 75 pounds acre,

Trials at the Louisiana Experiment
Station have shown that one acre of
average cow-peas contains 65 pounds
of nitrogen, 111 pounds of potash and
20 pounds of phosphoric acid, of which
the roots and stubble alone contain
8 pounds of nitrogen, 18 pounds of
potash and 6 pounds of phosphoric
acid. These figures vary, of course,
with different yields, but represent
about the average.
There is always some Vvaste in the
application of fertilizers and it has
been ascertained by many experiments
that in order to enable cow-peas to
take up and assimilate 66
pounds of nitrogen, there must
be provided about 167 pounds of
actual potash and 40 pounds of phos
phoric acid, which are equivalent to
334 pounds of muriate of potash and
300 pounds of acid phosphate.
Phosphate and potash fertilizers
should always be applied before the
seed is planted, whether this be done
broadcast or in drills.
A good mixture for cow-peas is 300
pounds of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of muriate of potash per acre;
or, if kainit Is substituted for mu
riate, 400 pounds will be required to
furnish the same amount of actual
potash.
Where a commercial brand of fer
tilizer is used for cow-peas, perhaps
the best proportions on average soils
are, about 8 per cent, of available
phosproric acid and 6 per cent, actual
potash, applied at the rate of 400 to
600 pounds to the acre and thoroughly
mixed in the soil before the peas are
sown.
If the young plants present a sick
ly appearance, about 75 pounds of ni
trate of soda, mixed with four or five
times its bulk of dry earth; should
be used as a top dressing.
On sandy soils, when cow-peas are
to be planted, good use can be made
of 500 to 600 pounds of kainit and
300 to 350 pounds of acid phosphate
to the acre. If muriate of potash be
used in place of kainit, 135 to 150
pounds will answer. On dry soils less
potash and more phosphoric acid may
be used.
Planting Cow-Peas.
Cow-peas may be planted any time
In the spring when the soli is warm
enough for planting beans and there
after until within two months of the
time when fall frosts are expected.
According to a common saying,
“Early planting' makes vines, but late
planting makes peas.” So the farmer
will be guided in his choice of time
for planting by the purpose for which
he plants.
In a dry season or in a naturally
loose, dry land, deep planting is ad
visable. If seed be cheap and labor
scarce, broadcasting is usually the*
better pjan; but when seed Is dear and
labor cheap, drilling pays better.
Where crab grass is abundant, its
growth is liable to choke cut the
young peas in a wet season, a point
to be carefully considered when
choosing between broadcasting and
drilling.
Cultivation,
If sown in drills, cow-peas should
be cultivated two or three times to
keep down the weeds and mellow the
soil until the vines are large enough
to shade the ground. A smoothing
harrow or weeder, just as the peas
are coming up, is best for the first cul
tivation; for the succeeding ones, a
five-tooth cultivator, or at least one
which runs very shallow. When
peasi are planted between rows of
corn, sugar cane or other crops, they
are sometimes given one,, cultivation
at the time' for . laying by . the main
crop, but oftener they receive no at-:
tent loo 'Tom planting until ‘gathering.
If Svjvji brcc-dcast, they cannot be
cultivated. Some northern fruit
growers have adopted the plan of sow
ing cow-peas between the rows of
trees, claiming that such treatment
fine many advantages. Some orchard.
fcts al|q_cj|imjtMtit pays, anbJ&yfee
fore it is grazed, or remains on the
ground for a winter cover, it Is usu
ally good economy to gather the seed.
Some farmers prefer the plan of stor
ing the unshelled pods through the
winter, which in a measure, .though
not completely, protects the seed
from weevil. Some delay cutting un
til a considerable proportion of the
pods are ripe, depending on the peas
shelled in hauling and found in the
bottom of the mow for a seed sup
ply for the next crop. The yield of
seed varies greatly. If grown be
tween corn rows and picked only
once, it varies from 6 to 10 bushels
per acre; but if grown alone and al-
lowed to fully mature, and If all seed
are saved, the yield averagos. from
20 to 30 b.ushels per acre.
If seed is stored, injury to it
from the weevil can be pre
vented by treating the seed with
carbon bisulphide before threshing
and storing. The bisulphide will not in
jure the peas for planting or for ta
ble use, but must be kept away from
any fire, because it is .very inflamma
ble. No lighted lantern or pipe should
be carried into the building where
the seed is stored until the peculiar
odor of the bisulphide has disappear*
ed; which will be in about three days.

Mottled Butter.
Question—Hon. O. B. StevenB, Com.
Agriculture: Dear Sir: I am trou
bled in my dairy business with waht
is known as “Mottled Butter.” Please
give me the cause and remedy for It.
Answer—In reply to your Inquiry we
beg to state that the answer to your'
question is quite difficult, since the
opinions of dairymen differ widely on
this subject.
The peculiar spotted appearance
which we find in the uneven coloring
often seen in butter, is called “mot
tles” by dairymen. The chief char
acteristic of mottled butter is that some
portions of the same piece are much
lighter colored than others. This
condition is only noticeable when it
has stood a few hours after being
worked. The white specks that are
often seen in butter caused by small
pieces of dry curd, can hardly be
termed “mottled butter.” They can
be prevented by passing the milk
through a hair sieve strainer. Mot
tles occur more frequently in the
months of May, June and July, and are
oftener found in private dairies than
in the larger ones or in creameries,
because the proprietors of the small
dairies do not generaly have the best
machinery for handling butter.
The cause of mottles, however, is
yet in dispute. Our own opinion is
that uneven distribution of salt is the
chief cause.
Care should always be taken to salt
the butter when first taken from the
churn and none but the very finest
and cleanest salt should be used. It
should be thoroughly worked into the
butter while yet soft.
While it is true that butter may be
overworked, some of the best dairy
men suggest that, after it has been
worked, it should be set away in a re
frigerator and then be given a final
working. Some dairymen claim that
the effect produced by two much cold
water and ice in handling milk and
•butter is also a cause of mottles
Just why salt causes mottles has
not been satisfactorily explained. But
most dairymen, now agree that • the
salt drives out the buttermilk along
with excess of water in butter, and
the fact that unsalted portions appear
to have excess of buttermilk would
suggest this as a possible good expla
nation.
