make a little more than 1 ponnd of but
ter. Therefore it would take 88^
pounds, or ’4 gallons of milk testing . 3
per cent of butter fat to make 1 pound
of butter. It would take ’25 pounds of
milk,,or 3 gallons, testing 4 per cent of
butter fat, and it would require 20
pounds, or gallons of milk testing 5
per cent, of butter fat, to make 1 pound
of butter. You would thus get in the
first place 80 cents, in the second 60
cents, and in the third 50 cents for the
milk, which if converted into butter in
each case would only bring yon 30
cents. Of course, in making-the butter,
you would have the buttermilk left,
hut adding its value to thebutter would
not make any material difference. The

Eradicating Bermuda Grass,
Question.—Bermuda grass is about
to take one of my best fields in spite of
all my efforts to get rid of it. Can von
give me directions by which I can exter
minate it?
Answer. —If the grass is confined to
one field I would not try to eradicate it,
but would rather encourage its growth.
It will furnish you for seven mouths in
the year the very best pasturage that
you could possibly have for all kinds of
stock and would in that way pay you
better than any land on your farm. Our
farms in this state have too little land
devpted to pastures, and therefore it is

year, to the detriment of onr pockets and

How **Worn Out” Land Can Be Re
stored, the Eradication of Ber
muda and Other Grasses.
Question.—I am a new comer to
Georgia and have just bought a farm in
Cobb county. One field of about 30
acres, fairly level, is covered with a
growth of young pines, and the land is
gaid to be worn out Can this land be re
stored,and if so how? It has a ©lay subsoil.
Answer. —No land in Georgia is
‘•worn out,” if it has a clay subsoil, and
the top soil is not all washed away. By
continuous planting of a single orop the
plant food preferred by that crop may
be so reduced in the soil that good re
sults can no longer fye attained.
Or a long succession of clean
culture crops—such as cotton—might
so exhaust the humus in the soil
as to render it for the time being almost
Barren. * Such conditions, however, do
not mean that the land is worn out by
any means, for‘judicious cropping;or a
few years will make it fertile, ad
vice is to cut down the pines at once
and burn them on the land. Then
break the ground close and deep, and
afterwards harrow in a bushel of “Burt”
Oats to the acre, harrowing in with the
oats 200 pounds of a good, complete fer
tilizer. As soon as the oats are har
vested broadcast and plow in 4 to 5
pecks of field peas to the acre, turning
Under with the peas 200 pounds of aido
phosphate and 100 pounds of* kalnifc.

William Black’s Characters.
Sir Wemyss Reid notes that William
Black seldom allowed himself ‘ to be
drawn into conversation about his work.
One of Reid’s recollections runs thus:
“One day,'in the faroff past, I was
walking along the sea front with Black,
at Brighton, when he said ^abruptly and
with reference to nothing that had been
passing between ns; % We are not all en
gaged iff , running away with other
men’s wives.' There are some of us who
are not the victims of mental disease or
moral deformity. I do not even- know
that anybody of my acquaintance has
committed a murder or a forgery. Yet
people are angry with me because I do
not make my characters in my books
odious in this fashion. I prefer to write
about sane people and honest pieopie,
and I imagine that they are, after all,
in a majority in the world.’ ”
Some ‘Went to Glory.
I once asked a district nurse, says a
writer in The Cornhill Magazine, how
the various sick cases had been going on
during my absence from the parish. At
once the look which I knew so well
crossed her face, but her natural pro-
property, said corporation shall be authorized
to borrow such sums or sum of money and upon
such terms as such company or its board of di
rectors shall deem necessary or expedient for
any purpose necessary or expedient to the busi
ness of said company.
And to issue bonds or debentures for the same
and to secure the payment of said sums ior of
said bpnds or debentures by trust, deed or mort
gages as may best be effectual for such purpose
upon the assets and property or earnings of
said Company,-or both.
Wherefore said petitioners pray an order of
said Court declaring this application granted
