HUMBER 01 QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Question.— Please give mo a quick
ami effective method of harvesting
groundpeas so as to save the vines as
well as the nuts. The gathering of this
crop comes at such a busy season that I
am always more or less perplexed as to
how I shall manage to got everything
properly attended to. By the usual
method of digging and drying by hand
the hay is not saved in good condition,
ami much of it is often lost. This plan
is also slow and wearisome when so
much other work is pressing.
Answer. —The Spanish proundpoas
form their nuts very close to the crown
of the plant, and therefore if they are
barred off with an ordinary plow they
may bo pulled up by hand, and all, or
nearly all, of the nuts will cling to the
vines. These must then be piled in
windrows, roots up, nuts on top. Allow
them to stand until' next day, and then
stack around a pole, taking care to have
a layer of rails on tlio ground to protect
the lower part of the stack from damp¬
ness, and also to leave air space around
the pole sufficient for ventilation. In
making the stack the order of placing
should be reversed, nuts within, vines
without. When the stack is finished
cap carefully to prevent injury from
rain. In about three weeks the nuts
will be ready for picking off by hand,
aud the hay cured sufficiently to bo
stored. Groundpeas belong to the fam
„ ily of . legumes, . and .... like all of . their .. . kind, , . ,
the tops are good for forage.
For other varieties than the Spanish
it will be necessary to use a plow made
especially . „ x to run under the vines . and ,
cut the top root, when it will be found
comparatively easy to pull the vines up
without loosening the nuts. But if the
soil is very heavy, even this will not
answer. In suoh a case run a turning
plow near the vines first, and in this
furrow run a sweep, which has had one
wing turned up to act as a bar or land
slide, and the other flattened and made
■harp to run under the vinos. The gath
ering, curing and stacking can then bo
managed as above.—State Agricultural
Departmeut.
uinKitiK nKg.
formatiou Question.— Please give me some in- of
regarding the ringing
pigs. What should be the size of the
ring, and of what material should it be
made? How long can the ring remain
iu the nose without injury?
Answer.— Rings are put in the noses
of pigs or hogs to prevent their rooting.
The ring should be placed in the tough
cartilage at tho top of tho nose, through
which a hole must be punched to re¬
ceive it. The ring should be from 1
to inches in diameter, and should
be made of either steel or copper. It
can remain in the nose of the hog dur¬
ing its life without injury. Should you
turn the animal on a field of potatoes or
groundpeas, where you want him to
root, the ring must be removed. Whero
hogs are kept on grass or olover through
the summer they should always bo
ringed, as otherwise they do much
damage by rooting for worms or grass
roots. —State Agricultural Department.

(v decided change for the worse, con¬
tinued rains and cloudy weather caus¬
ing serious injury. In South Georgia,
where there was much open cotton, it
has been splashed with dirt and stained,
and where the open cotton has been
beaten to the ground by the rain the
seed have sprouted to the great injury devel
of the lint. In addition, rust has
oped on much of the gray land, and the
plant has ceased to grow and fruit. In
Middle and North Georgia the damage

great, but the bontiuued wet weather
has caused excessive growth, and in
consequence the plants have shed a
