DsfaRTKext o? Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga , Oct.. J, 1895.
In years gvia by and under the old
regime the fall months were given
chiefly to tho gathering of the cotton
crop, and when this work was not
pressing, farmers as a rule considered
that if they gathered and housed the
corn and other crops and packed their
pork into the smokehouses by Christ
mas they were accomplishing their full
duty to their families, themselves and
their calling. Under a more progres¬
sive system, however, the farmer who
allows his fields to he bare, exposed to
the destructive work of the winter’s
storms and his cattle to shiver in ite
chilling blasts, is regarded as indiffer¬
ent to his own best interests, and. lack¬
ing in the most important essentials of
an enlightened agriculturist. Let us
again repeat that the fall work on a
Georgia farm is as important, if not
more so, than that in the spring, when
everything is in a rush and ail calling
for attention at the same time. Much
of this spring rush and vexation of spirit
may bb materially lightened by thought¬
ful planning and work now. lu the
comparative leisure ot the fail season,
we can lay tho foundations for next
year’s crop.

portance, retain much of the water
which would otherwise be washed
awe y with’every beating rain, taking
with it a large amount of the topsoil,
whose food producing elements have
to be replaced before wo can expect a
satisfactory yield of crops. Another
to be gaijisd by fall and
early winter ulowiug is that on many

work, if snoald be done as soon as pos¬
sible, and if a crop of rye or German
clover be planted, we have set in mo¬
tion forces which will go far towards
supplying all three needed elements,
phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen,

of every product that they cannot uu
derstaud our indifference to the do
s truction and waste of valuable mate
rial.
SAVING OF LATE CROPS.
All crops of millet, clover, grass, pea
vines should be put under shelter as
soon as possible. Spanish groundpeas
furnish not only nuts, but the tops, if
properly cured, make good forage. The
Irish and sweet potato crops should bo
gathered before the tops are entirely
killed, and it is important to do tiiis
before the rains begin; for they should
bo stored when tlioy aro entirely dry.
Assort them as they are dug, taking
out all bruised or cut tubors, and spread
out to dry out thoroughly, and do not
make the banks of potatoes where they
are stored, too largo.
REPAIRS
on all buildings and stables should be
attended to before tie winter sets in,
and, if possible, whitewash the latter
inside and out, after giving them a
thorough cleaning. Good pastures and
good feed are essential to tlie proper
keoping of live stock; but this food
will not make a profitable return if the
animals are exposed in coid and wet,
seasons. House them oomfortably, and
thus get a full return in b3ef or milk,
for the capital invested in these animal
machines.
GATHER UP ALT, TOOT.9.
Gather up ail tools and implements,
clean and after oiling the working
parts, put under shelter until some op¬
portune rainy season w-lvin thev can be
thoroughly repaired and put in condi¬
tion for the coming year’s work.
TURNING UNDER PEA VINES.
To get the fnil value of a pea crop,
the best plan is to cut and euro for hav,
or store in the silo for ensilage, then
turn under tho stubble. Bu; as we j
have had inquiries as to tho best time i
for turning under the entire crop, after we |
would advise that this be done i
susrc less leached “K-si by the %% win
and aro away
ter rains. The younger vines are very
succulent, decay more rapidly, and
there is more accidity from their de¬
composition. Where the entire crop is
turned under, a top dressing of lima
applied after this is done will be found
very useful .n correcting acidity; it will
also cause to be formed certain chemi¬
cal compounds in the soil, which will
be of valuable assistance in furnishing
plant food for another crop.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

Thu latest experiments reported on
testing the offeot of cottonseed meal as
a food for hogs oomos from the Texas
station. Professor Soule reports that
from a series of experiments conducted
at that station the conclusion isroaobjd
that cottonseed meal or hulls, either
raw, boiled or roasted, cannot be fed to
hogs. Pure meal was fatal in every ease
but one, boiled meal loss so than raw.
Various combinations of this food with
others were tried, but failed to give re¬
sults of value.
Question 9. —You will please answer
tho following in your monthly reports :
Why is it that the soil clods more in tho
latter part of March and the first to the
middle of April than in any other sea¬
son of the year and bakes less and less
as the summer advances?
Answer 9. —There are more clods
because wo are preparing tho ground
at that time for planting, and
wo plough as deep as possible, bringing
up some clay to the , surface, ilns . clay
then is very apt to bake and form
until broken uf>y i«~ the action of
harrowings. *»° Another *-> reason *-«?»- is that, «
in our haste to get ready for planting,
we aro apt to plow tho ground in tho
spring when it is a little too wet, and
this causes clods on the surface,
I do not agree with you that thf
Kr011 - 1( j bakes “less and less as tho sum
mer advances.” I think if wo plowed
os deop in the summer, and when tho
ground was wet, and turned up the
clay as wo do in tho spring, we would
have just as many clods and just as
much baking of the soil. In other
words, our shallow plowing in culti¬
vating crops cannot result in cloddy
laud, such as is brought about fre¬
quently fcy deep spring plowing.
