prices, that will convert the hard, flinty
stalks into a soft, easily masticated sub
stance, very similar in mechanical con
dition to coarse hay, that is readily—
•even greedily—eaten by horses, mules
and cattle.
In Bulletin No. 30, already referred
to, the whole subject was discussed at
some length, showing bv experiments
made, and by analysis that the value of
the naked stalks that are generally left
in the field, after harvesting the ears,
shucks and blades, amounts to fully one-
sixth of total value of the crop.
Bulletin No. 36, published last fall,
says further on this subject:
j The station has just finished shred
ding the corn stalks from five acres of
i corn. The crop was very much injured
by the extreme heat and drouth, and
i the yield of grain was cut off at least 25
per cent. The corn was cut ’down just
above the surface of the ground Aug.
23, and immediately shocked, placing
j about 150 stalks in each shock, and
tying the top of each shock with twine.
No rain fell on the shocks and the ears
were husked out Oct. 8, and the stalks
immediately run through the shredding
machine, being apparently perfectly dry.
The yield of the live acres was as follows:
Shelled corn 155 bushels.
Shredded stalks, or stover. 14,000 pounds.
■ . .
This represents a yield per acre of 31
bushels of shelled corn and 2,800 pounds
of dry corn hay, which is believed to be
| very nearly equal in feeding value to
good timothy hay. In the above total
yield of corn hay is included the blades
and shucks, which are almost univer-.
sally saved and utilized by Georgia
farmers. But there are also included in
j the 2,800 pounds of corn hay about 1,300
pounds of the stalks, which are usually-
permitted to remain oil the ground and
non utilized as food- This 1,300 pounds
represents the food loss for every 31
bushels of - shelled corn. The corn crop
of Georgia, for convenience, may be
stated at 31,000,105 bushels—sometimes
less, often more. Then, at 1,300 pounds
of corn hay, heretofore not saved, for
every 31 bushels of corn, the total loss in
the state would be 1,300 pounds by 1,-
000,000 = 1,300 million pounds, or 050,-
000 tons of corn .hay, a very good food,
and worth at least $10 a ton, or a total
of $0,500,000, or about enough to pay for
all the commercial fertilizers used in
Georgia in one year! This may be con
sidered a remarkable statement, and it
will no doubt surprise many a fanner
who has not thought about it.
I have replied to 'your question thus
at ienghth, because there is- scarcely a
subject of more-importance to the farm
ers jnst now. The universal practice of
shredding the corn stalks means*a sav
ing of millions of dollars,—State Agri
cultural Department.
Fertilizer For Com.
_ Question.—What are the best propor
tions in a commercial fertilizer for corn,
and bow, at what time, and what
amount would you apply it?
An >weh.—AH things considered the
best fertilizer on our ordinary lands for
corn should be in about the following
proportion. Cottonseed meal 1,000 lbs.,
acid phosphate 1,000 lbs. muriate pot
ash 50 lbs., or 200 lbs, of kainit may be
substituted for the muriate of potash.
On lauds almost destitute of humus,,
that is, which have cultivated and re
cultivated m clean crops, we would not
venture to use more than two or three
hundred pounds to the acre, applied just
before or at planting time.. The-corn
crop, more perhaps- than any other, is
dependent on a supply or moisture for
its best development,. and. it has been
found that the direct application of com
mercial fertilizers does not result as well
as where these have been applied to a
previous crop,, and provided the applica
tion be sufficiently heavy. If the ferti
lizer has been broadcast, as for oats or
peas, the succeeding corn crop is usually
very satisfactory, although fine crops of
corn are often made after a heavily fer
tilized cotton crop. As a rule, any for
mula, 'which will analyze 7.00 per cent
phosphoric acid 1.30 per 'cent potash
and 3.40 per cent nitrogen, is suited to
corn.—State Agricultural Department.
nr splendid condition. Please tell me if
there is any remedy for this.
Answer. —Perhaps the trouble is that
your hens are ia too fine condition.
Hens, which are too fat, often lay such
eggs. Try shorter rations and a little
Epsom salts every other day. This may
I be given in the drinking water. Let
them have green food, and plenty of
lime.—State Agricultural Department.
Marriage Customs.
‘"That is a curious custom they
| have in some of the South Sea
islands,” said Mr. Wallace, “of
marrying a girl to a tree or some
inanimate object, which is sup
posed to act as a sort of scapegoat
lor the shortcomings of the real
live husband/’
“It is not absolutely unique,”
said Mrs. Wallace, “for a wow-an
I in this country to be married to a
1 a stick.”
, But Mr. Wallace, with the calm
superiority of the masculine mind,
refused to deem it a personal mat-
ter.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Date Spring Outs.
Question.—I have a piece of laud
which I think will make a good crop of
oats, bpt I am in do ibt about planting
it so late. Would the first of March be
too late to sow it down? And what
kind of seed would you advise me to
use?
Answer.—In southern Georgia the
first of March is rather late to sow oats,
but in your section, North Georgia, it a
quickly maturing variety, like the Burt,
is planted on rich or* well fertilized
land, the chances for a satisfactory crop
are good. The great drawback to our
oat crop is want of care in preparation
and seeding, coupled with the fact that
we generally plant our oats on our
poorest land. In sowing oats at this
season, our object should be to force the
crop forward to a -quick maturity. To
do this plant the “Ninety Day” or
“Burt” seed, on land naturally rich, or
made so by rotation and manure. If
the land has been previously well broken
and the oats are harrowed in, so much
the better. But if time is too pressing
for this, then clear off the land, sow the
cats, about a bushel to the acre, and
plow the seed in, running the furrows
close and deep.—State Agricultural De
partment.

Fertilizing Cotton.
Question.—Please tell me ’how the
elements in a commercial fertilizer af
fect Cot dm? I mean what iufiuefice do
the separate elements, nitrogen, phos
phoric a dd and potash, have on the
growth of the plant. Of course every
man who plants cotton would rather
have bolls than stalks or leaves. I know
the probable effects of certain qualities
of soil on the cotton plant. What I
want to know is the separate effect of
each ingredient in the fertilizer, so that
I may more clearly understand how to
app< >rtion my fertilizer to suit my differ
ent kinds of land—in other words to in
duce the development of well formed
and well filled bolls.
Answer.—Nitrogen makes weed or
stalk, it also has a - tendency to prolong
the period of growth. If there'is an ex
cess of nitrogen it often causes the plant
to form stalk and leaves late in the sea
son, when it should be developing fruit.
Phosporic acid tends to force maturity
and develop fruit. Potash will give
strength and vigor to the stalk. It en
ters largely into the lint, and if in the
form of kainit, tends to lessen liability
to rust. The fruit forming element is.
phosphoric acid. Nitrogen makes stalk
and foliage. Potash gives strength to
the plant arid develops the lint.—State
Agricultural Department.

Proper Distance h 4 or Planting Corn,
Question.—Would not a larger yield
be realized from the same land if the
corn crop was planted in double rows on
wide beds, instead of single rows on nar
row beds?
Answer. — Experiments have been
carefully conducted to settle this ques
tion, and the conclusion arrived at is,
that the more nearly each plant occu
pies the center of a square area of soil,
the greater the yield—that is, all condi
tions being equal, single rows 4x8, will
yield more than double rows, 2x6. One
plant in each hill, the hills equidistant,
gave better results than two planted to the
hill separated by longer distances.-—

WHY SO MANY REGULAE
PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female His—Some True
Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham
is More Successful Than
the Family Doctors.
A woman is sick; some disease pecu
liar to her sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi
cian and tells him a story, but not the
whole story.
She holds, something hack, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and- finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blarae the woman,, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering,-even to
her family physician.
It was for this reason that years
ago Mrs. Pinkham;. at Lynn, Mass.,
determined to step in and help her
sex. Having had considerable ex
perience in treating female ills with
her Vegetable Compound, she encour
aged the women of America to write
to her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, it
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are the
grand results of her experience.
