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.

While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneu¬ monia succeeding La Grippe.

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. FOR HOGS SUFFERING FROM THE EFFECTS OF COTTONSEED FEED. Wood charcoal, 1 pound. pound.

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: 12 Feeler*, averaging STW cents per day. t<-30 2Pae*iers, “ -“W “ '* ' l.' 10 1 Wilier, " 25 l5 1 Capper, 2.00 •• ** 2.IK) 1 Tipper. •• ** 1.00 1 Processor, " 2.00 •• •* 2.00 1 labeller " 50 50 1 Scalder.

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 20 acres; orchards, vineyards and garden, forage crops, P«aunts. chufas, potatoes, melons, eto,, 80 acres, R Wise Way =to Economize!
