ELECTRIC BITTERS.
Electric Bitters is a medicine
suited for any season, but per¬
haps more generally needed m
the Spring, when the languid
feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alterative is
felt. A prompt use of this mod
icine lias often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the
eystem from the malarial poison
Headache, Indigestion, Consti¬
pation, Dizziness yield to Elec¬
tric Bitters. Only fifty cents drug a
bottle at Dr. Wm. H. Leo’s
store.

8A0ALINE, A NEW FORAGE PLANT.
It I* Not Well Knougli Known to llltk
Too Much Tampering: With—■The Re¬
duction <»f Cotton Acreage and the True
Results Obtained—Cost of a Canning
Outfit ami Other Interesting Items.
SAC ALINE.
Question 1.—I notice somo very
glowing descriptions of sacaliiie, the
new forage plane Which is beginning ail to
attract attention. Do you endorse
that is said of it?
Answer 1.—We, as yet, know abso¬
lutely nothing of the new plant, which
is said to be such a vigorous grower
and which its advocates claim is per¬
fectly hardy in any climate, is not
affected by drouth, and when once
planted will always grow without re¬
planting. Wo would therefore advise
caution in experimenting with it until
its qualities are thoroughly tested. The
fact of its rank growth and its entire
possession of the land would indicate
that it might give trouble if not kept
within bounds.
FEEDING COTTONSEED TO ITOGS.
Question 2.—Can cottonseed or oot
tonseed meal be fed to hogs with im¬
punity? I have heard that it is dan¬
gerous.
Answer 2.—Cottonseed meal is to
the southern farmers and stock bleed¬
ers what corn is to the west. It is rich
in nutriment and fattening qualities,
and while it is a rich and valuable feed
for cows, the experiment stations and
breeders have found it dangerous to
feed to hogs,although they eat it heart
Uy.
A North Carolina breeder writes the
Breeder’s Gazette that after two years’
experimenting with cottonseed and
cottonseed meal to hogs he finds that
by soaking the seed in water until fer¬
mented and the fermentation was over,
that the hogs had no further trouble
from eating it, and ho fattened 60 hogs
at first cautiously with corn,and finally
fed alone without losing a hog, and his
noighbors have been equally suocess
ful.
We have not tested this plan, but if
fermenting the seed removes tho dan¬
ger, this discovery will he of incalcu¬
lable value to the south. The same
principle is illustrated in the plan of
an experienced hog raiser, who says
that in feeding his hogs on cottonseed
he has found that by allowing them to
stand in water for awhile, the seed
were equally relished by tho hogs and
were harmless. His plan was to throw
them into a mndhole, and after a time,
allow the hogs access them.

COST OF canning outfit.
Question 3. —Can you give me some
idea as to tho amount of money neces¬
sary to start a small canning factory,
with scale of prices usually paid for la
bor, and for fresh fruits and vegeta¬
bles, and the best varieties to can?
Answer 3.—The following is the
average as near as can bo dortormined:
Canning machinery, capacity, 2,000
8-pound, or 2,750 2-pound cans per day,
is quoted for $100 cash F. O. B. Balti
more. Prloos for larger outputs, pro
portionally higher. Two thousand and
five hundred brick would be required
to set the kettles of the above machin¬
ery, including ohimney. A building
20x30 feet would be suitable, or a
•mailer building with shed. We have
not the quotations on cans, cases and
labels.
The prices below, as to remuneration
of labor, are taken from the statements
of cannors all over the country. Of
course these vary somewhat in differ
ent sections, but are considered a
standard for skillful and prompt work.
Slow and unreliable labor should be
dispensed with as quickly as possible.
To operate the above machinery at full
capaoity would require:

ROTATION Off CROPS SUITED TO GEORGIA.
Question 0.—Can you give me a good
system of rotation for an ordinary Geor¬
gia farm? I haven’t much experience,
but believe it the beat method of re¬
claiming our worn lands?
Answer 0.—The following from the
Georgia experiment station covers this
question fully:
“ROTATION.
“This is based on what would be
called a three years’ course, but has been
occasionally modified according to the
exigencies which arise in the course of
extensive field experimentation, The
main features of the system are chiefly
applicable to the four leadiug crops on
the average Georgia farm—small grain,
cowpeas, cotton and corn; but the prin¬
ciple is also applicable to the smaller
crops, or those occupying relatively
smaller areas. The three years’ course
in these main crops implies a division
of the larger part of a farm into three ap¬
proximately equal parts. I will suppose
that the syatem is to be applied to an
ordinary private farm, and a beginning
to bo made, say, Sept. 1.
“First Year.—One-third of the land
should be sown in small grain, mainly
oats, devoting corn land to this. The
Bmall grain should be liberally fertil¬
ized with a highly ammoniated fertil¬
izer. On the station no better variety
of oats has been found than the Appier
oat, a strain of the Texas rustproof;
but the latter is nearly as good. The
only objection to the Appier (as well as
the Texas) is the fact that it is not dis¬
tinctively a winter oat; it is liable to
be killed by very severe freezes. The
winter turf is more hardy in this re¬
spect, but not so proof against rust.
“The oats should be followed imme¬
diately by cowpeas, sown either ip 3
to 4 feet drills or broadcast. Our ex¬
periments indicate that, planted in the
drill and plowed once or twice, cow¬
peas will yield more peas, as well as
more hay. But many prefer sowing
broadcast, because (1 Jit involves less
labor, but more seed, and (2) the crab
and other native grasses that spring up
and mature with the peas make it
easier to cure the hay. If broadcast,
four to five pecks are sufficient to seed
an acre. The crop should receive a
dose of about 200 pounds of acid phos¬
phate and 100 pounds of kaiuit per
acre. Our experiments indicate that it
is decidedly best to convert the pea
vines into hay, mowing them when in
full bloom and when there are a few
grown pods.
“The stubble may remain and alight
second growth will be secured before
frost. Just before or soon after a kill¬
ing frost the pea stubble is turned un¬
der with a 2-horse plow. If convenient
to pasture, cattle and hogs may be
turned on successive portions of the
pea fields, instead of converting the
vines into hay; or a portion of the peas
may be picked.
“Second Year.—The same division
should be liberally fertilized and plant¬
ed in cotton, using the very best seed
obtainable. In the fall of the year,
say in September, it is suggested to
sow the cotton fields in rye, say one
half bushel, or less, per acre, or in
crimson clover. This is especially re¬
commended on land that is liable to
wash and leach during the winter; hut
the principal aim is to supply a grow¬
ing crop that will appropriate and hold
tho soluble plant food left in the soil,
or that will become soluble during the
winter.
“Third Year.—The land previously
in cotton is the place for the corn crop.
During the latter part of January and
by Feb. 20, the ground should be thor¬
oughly broken, flush, with a 2-horse
plow. On the station it has not been
found expedient or profitable to fertil¬
ize the corn crop very lightly; hut it
should rather follow a highly fertilized
cotton crop. Cowpeas should be plant¬
ed in the middles between the corn
rows—if wider than five feet; or sown
corn should bo followed by small grain
and cowpeas—commencing again.
“The above is a general outline of
the system which is recommended for
general adoption throughout the cotton
belt. Of course it may be modified ac
cording to circumstances, For in
stance, in some sections tobacco may
take the place—in part or in whole—of
cotton; in the mountain region the oats
may be found to succeed better if sown
in the spring, etc.
“I have followed up only one of the
three supposed divisions of the farm in
the above outline; of coarse the other
two will rotate in the same order,
so that each year one-third shall be in
small grain-and peas, one-third in cot¬
ton and one-third in corn. These three
principal divisions cover the main por¬
tion of the farm in cultivation. There
ruay be anotner division equal in ex¬
tent, devoted to permanent pasture.
The minor crops of the farm, including
sweet potatoes, truck patches, forage
for soil feeding, orchards, etc., may
have a rotation among themselves, and
together may cover an area nearly equal
to one of the main crops, so that in
tic#1 ODer ation a farm of 100 acres
0 j i 0 p e n laDd’ may be divided some
what as follows: Small grain and
peas- 20 acres; cotton. 20 acres; corn
and peas, 20 acres, permanent pastnr truck
