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.

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.

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. Ginger is a tropical production of Mexico, where it grows wild. 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.-— State Agricultural Department. AU druggists sell Pu Miles’ Pain Pills.

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.
