HOME FERTILIZERS.
Th* Formula for Mixing as Given by tho
Georgia .state ChemUt.
It has always been the policy of the
department to encourage the purchase
of fertilizer material and mixing at
home. By this policy not only does the
farmer make a fertilizer adapted to his
soil, if, as he should, he studies its
needs, but also develops the economy of
carefully saving the manure of the
larm.
Compelled to save in every quarter,
If we wish even comparative success,
let all endeavor to adopt the least ex¬
pensive method of fertilizing and im¬
proving this land. In this connection,
the following reply by Dr. George F.
Payne, the state chemist, to an inquiry
for formula aud as to the cost of mate¬
rial, will be found of interest:
Farmers can save money by clubbing
together aiid buying acid phosphate in
bulk for cash and making their own
fertilizers. It is difficult to farm suc¬
cessfully in most sections of Georgia
without the use of fertilizers, but It is
all important to secure the best fertil¬
izers at as closo figures as possible.
Acid phosphate can now l>e bought in
bulk for cash at $8 50 a ton. Cottonseed
meal cau now be bought in bulk for
cash at $15.00 a ton. Muriate of pot¬
ash cau now be bought in 12-tou lots
for cash at $42.00 a ton.
At these figures the matetials for an
average f*r»ftt««r at file maHtel will be:
l,40fl pounds aefd phosphate (contain¬
ing 14 per cent available phosphoric
acid) at $8.50 a ton, $5.05.
520 pounds cottonseed meal (contain¬
ing nitrogreu equivalent to 8 1-2 per
cent ammonia) at $15.00 a ton, $3.90.
80 pounds muriate of potash (contain¬
ing 51 1 -3 per cent of potash) at $43.00 a
ton. $1.08 1
.
Making a total of 2,000 pounds at a
cost of $11.85, containing the following
percentage of plant food per ton:
Available phosphoric acid, 0.80 per
cent.
Ammonia. 2.81 percent.
Potash, 2.06 per cent. ,
If you desire a full strength good,,
the following formula Will prove satis¬
factory, being made of the material,
you wish to.use:
Acid phosphate, 1.200 pound., cost
about $-.80, 8.40 per cent available
phosphoric acid Nitrate of soda, 260
pounds, cost about $,00. «qnivatontto
pe. cvn ammonia. n , on
pouu.i m Mi , uar or rotten leaves, 260
pounds. Total pounds, 2,000. Total
cost. $. 4 . 60 .
If you wish a oheaper fertilizer add
more of the last ingredient. If you de
*ire a stronger one leave out the last
ingredient. Muriate of potash is a
more concentrated form of potash than
Vaiuit ami c^ts less for freight and for
the actual jxitaah vu it. kainit oon
tarns about 13 per cent of potash, and
muriate about 50 per cent.
To estimate the full cost, the freight
on the acid phosphate aad muriate Of
potash should be added to this, ithe
trsisht.wff va^vaocordipstotheieuutb
of thr- haul) ml also the labor required
to mix the fertilizer.
The mixing is best done by spread
ing out toe materials in layers
nr, top of each oth»r and cutting
thn ugh the .avers with a hoe :.nd mix
iug as the compound is cut down,
,
i The use of a bricklayer's sand screen
enables one to make a better mixture.
So many local dealers are reported as
not intending to handle fertilizers this
season, that some such plan may be
necessary in some sections.

IRISH POTATO GROWING.
Wlint Can He Rea).s«cl »*y Planting Them
on an Acre of Lkml.
Jeff Welboru has the following on
Irish potatoes:
i I have found out that I can grow as
much feed upon an acre of early peas as
I can of corn or oats, and harvest the
crop in time for a fall crop of Irish po¬
tatoes, and that the land will be in the
condition for the potato crop
wheu the peas are taken eff (also two
crops of potatoes and one of peas on the
same land.) I bavj also solved the
problem of growing in field culture, a
much superior potato for the table or
seed for spring garden to ai.y that can
be brought from the north, and this at
nominal cost and more certain (if prop¬
erly managed) than a cotton crop. My
last crop, which was the eigth crop in
four years, without change of seed, was
finer than any previous crop, both in
quality and quantity, yielding at the
rate of 160 bushels per acre, without
manure or fertilizer of any kiud, ou
common bill laud, that would not make
over 1,000 pounds of seed cotton per
acre.
Now that we can grow them much
cheaper than they cau be grown in the
north and of much better quality, and
the demand at our doors. Why not?
We do not need the immense frost
proof bins. In fact, in the south the
fall crop is very little trouble. They
do not Bweat aud rot like the yam.
They will keep perfectly in a room
where the thermometer does not run
below 80 degrees abovo zero.
Anything that grows in the fall is
superior to the spring grown. The fall
Irish pototoes is as far superior to spring
grown potatoes as fall turnips are supe¬
rior to spring turnips.
Our potatoes have increased in size,
quality aud quantity per acre each sea¬
son since we commenced planting them
here. Seed from the fall crop planted
next spring will come on much earlier
than the earliest and most northern
grown. While there will not be so
many in numbers in the vine they will
be twice as large aud far superior every
way.
The seed once obtained need never
he renewed, for the fall growing Im¬
proves them continually.
The peas mentioned are the early
maturing variety planted after the
spring crop of Irish potatoes and taken
off in time for the fall crop.
To those wiio wish to adopt the val¬
uable suggestions of Mr. Welboru, we
give the following concise advice by
Mr. Massey, of the North Carolina sta¬
tion, which has froc.u mtly appeared in
more elaborate form in these reports:
1. Bed the seed in soil until planting
time. This gets rid of those too imma¬
ture to grow aud which if planted
would leave gaps in the rows.
2. Plant about second week in Au¬
gust, if possible, and use only those po¬
tatoes that are sprouted.
3. Plant in a deep furrow, but cover
very lightly aud pack the soil to the
seed.
4. Never cut the potatoes for the late
crop.
5. Gradually fill in the soil to the
plants as they grow and cultivate the
crop perfectly flat.

THE SWINE PLAGUE.
Dr. Salmon Toll* of This Fatal Disease
A mens: the Il«g».
Dr. Salmon, the chief of the bureau
of animal industry, has just issued a
bulletin on this subject which ought to
be in the hands of every hog keeper,
and can be obtained on application to
the department of agriculture, Wash¬
ington, D. C. Dr. Salmon says that
whilst no absolutely certain cure can
be found for any disease, and certainly
not for hog cholera, yet that, as the re¬
sult of a long series of experiments, the
following has been found to be a most
efficacious formula in most cases of this
disease, and is valuable as a preventive:
lbs.
Wood charcoal.. ., 1
Sulphur........... 1
Sodium chloride..... 2
Sodium bicarbonate . 3
Sodium hyposulphite 2
Sodium sulphate..... l
Antimony sulphide.. l
Pulverize and thoroughly mix and
give a large tablespoonful for each 200
pounds weight of hogs onoe a day. Feed
on soft food, made of bran andshlpstnff
or bran and oorn meal mixed in hot
water and stir in the proper quantity of
the medioine. Animals too sick to eat
should be drenched with the medicine
mixed in water. In drenching a hog,
never throw him on his back or rope
him and foroe him to take the medi
eine. The chances are that if you do
you will choke him. Pull out the side
of his cheek from his teeth and thus
make a pouch iuto which pour the med¬
icine, and it will run into his mouth
and b 9 swallowed, or take an old shoe
and cut off a small part of the toe, so
as to make a hole through, and put this
in his mouth. He will generally com¬
mence to chew the shoe—then pour the
medicine into the shoe and it will find
its way slowly into the mouth and be
swallowed. We have drenched hogs in
this'way when we could succeed in no
other way. Keep the sick hogs dry,
warm and clean, or it is very little use
giving medioine.
