Spot Cash Groce
(Condensed from a Bulletin of the N.
C. Experiment Station.)
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 neo
ess ary for complete growth must also
come from the soil. If there be lack
of nitrogen, the beans will take on a
yellowish hue, and the plant will in
dicate its lack of vigor by a general
sickly appearance. About 75 pounds
of nitrate of soda applied to each
acre will prove a quick remedy for
this trouble.
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 5 pounds of phosphoric
acid. These figures vary, of course,
with different yields, but represent
about the average.
There is always some waste 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 65
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 pf muriate of potash and
300 ppunds ot &ei4 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
pounde 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
500 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 soil 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 bis 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 thei
better plan; but when seed Is dear and
labor cheap, drilling pays better.
Whore crab grass is abundant, its
growth is liable to choke out 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
peas are planted between rows of
corn, sugar cane or other crops, they
are sometimes given one cultivation
at the time for laying by the cigin
crop, but oftener they receive no at
tention from planting until gathering.
If sown broadcast, they cannot be
cultivated. Seme northern fruit
growers have adopted the plan of sow-
Ing cow-peas between the rows of
trees, claiming that such treatment
has many advantages. Some orchard-
ists also claim that it pays, and at the
same time benefits the fruits and 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
usually from two to three tons to the
acre.
Saving Seed.
When the pea crop is grown be
tween corn rows, or is fairly ripe be
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 j
pods are ripe, depending on the peas
shelled In hauling and found in the
bottom of the mow for a seed sup- j
ply for the next crop. The yield of

THEDFORD’s'
BLACK-DRAUGHT!
THE ORIGINAL
IUVER MEDICINE!
A sallow complexion, dizziness,
biliousness and a coated tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, severe as they are,
f ive immediate warning by pain,
ut liver and kidnev troubles,
though less painful at the start, are
much harder to cure. Thedford’s
Black-Draught never fails to bene
fit diseased fiver and weakened kid
neys. It stirs up the torpid liver
to throw off the germs of fever and
ague. It is a certain preventive
or cholera and Bright’s disease of
the kidneys. With kidneys re
inforced by Thedford’s Black -
Draught thousands of persons have
dwelt immune in the midst of yel
low fever. Many families live in
perfect health and have no other
doctor - than Thedford’s Black-
Draught. It is always on hand for
use in an emergency and saves
many expensive calls of a doctor.

It is the best medicine for me that is
on the market for liver and kidney
troubles and dyspepsia and other
complaints. Rev. A. 0. LEWIS.
