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. PALL plowing. lll0 re especially on our heavy lands, a more extended action of the rains ami irests which aro sure to como Lands which have been deeply plow'd in the fall receive, and what is of more im¬ 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 ot onr oUl, cultivated lands there aro valuable mineral elements lying dor mant, too (Aiep to be reached by oijr or< Ji uar y shallow plowing. These, to matter or huunis which maybe found there, and left to tho action of tho froatSj t j la ra - ns and the atmosphere; three powerful agents and assistants t0 the farmer. By these forcible agen eies, the mineral elements, which play so important a part in the development Of all crops, and for which we pay such a high price in tho form of commercial fertilizer, o;m be had for the seekirig, and their presence in this form and by t .- 1Q methods which wo have to use to Whole sur ace with the highest priced commercial goods. Therefore, even if the work has, by reason of boating rains, to be repeated in the spring, wo would advise, by ail means, benefit deep plow¬ ing. To get the full of this 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, on the spot, and from the free labora¬ tory of natffre; added to which onr lauds will bb in better condition and our crops more certain than if we de¬ pended on buying all the necessary food elements, instead of making a large part at home. wheat. as indicated last month, the sowing pt this crop should be regulated as far as possible to about ten days before qur wual tilling frost is expected A soiu tiou of blues cone, applied to the seen by soa king, will destroy the smut spores, and rust can be in a measure controlled by selection of seed, judi c , :ous fertilizing and sowing as soon as £ hot> (iam p seasons, an early matur t n?S ““ sorbing plant, we must exercise judg- , meat as to tho quantity of tins ele meat supplied. An excessive amount, al though producing luxuriant growth, is a promoter of rust The safest source f rom which to obtain nitrogen is a cloves stubble turned under—lacking co t touse( ,.j meal comes next, or ii preferred, the whole cottonseed. RYE oan be sown until the last of Novem¬ ber, and it cannot be too strongly urged that we seed down all plowed land. It not only tends to preserve the land, but is steadily manufacturing Gn the food for our summer crops. li A J t •. AO A A «... A." awl International exposition, at Ac lout a, can to seen specimens of the plant saved entire, stalk, fodder, shuck and ears, so that no part is wasted, When thk plan is adopted by every farmer, it means a saving of about one L°A; jamjars » as as it should bo done. In those days of low prices for all agricultural products, it is important that we watch these heretofore neglected details. The English, the German and the French farmer sots us au example of tnrift and carefulness in nearly all mi nor details. The pains-taking foreign iKS^a^^rSS* narv farms, even in the short spare of one'week. They are so accustomed to the careful gathering and housing of 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.

Zcilin & Co., Philadelphia* CottoillBoil It(e»l For Su-lno. 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.
