l’Ul P1MI von MANORS AND FOR BEEF.
Iii tlu‘ Inquiries for thi ; month is one
of gn-ii importance and interest, as to
the merits and costs of different foods
in procuring manure, fat aud flesh.
The study of these questions indicates
an advain't in our system of agricul¬
ture. and those who inquire into and
investigate this subject will discover
that our methods have been ill advised
and wasteful, and that for a given
amount of food judiciously used, wo
can produce a much more profitable re¬
turn iu both meat aud m uiuro than has
heretofore been customary.

STOCK.
The condition of stock continues good,
and doubtless there will be more hogs
killed this winter than for many years
past. This is as it should be. Our
farmers should never relax their efforts
to make their farms self supporting;
then, and then only, will they be truly
independent.
Harvesting; Upland K!ce«
Question. —I have a half acre in up¬
land lice, which is very fine. When
will it be at the proper stage to harvest,
and how should it be gathered.
Answer.— The proper stage for har
vesting is when you find the straw turn¬
ing yellow and the grains well filled out
in the heads. Yon can cut with a reap
hook, tie in bundles at once, and hang
on poles held up by props at the ends,
or you can cut aud lay upon the stubble
to dry, after which it can be put in
small stacks. Should you hang on
poles, a week’s exposure will he suffi¬
cient, and you can then house until
ready for threshing. Don’t hind in
bundles when the dew is on tho straw,—

Value of Coal Ashes.
Question. —I have a quantity like of coal
ashes which I do not to throw
away if there is any value in them,
either as a fertilizer or as a mulch. Can
you tell me if they are valuable for
either purpose?
Answer.—C oal ashes may contain a
slight quantity of phosphoric acid, hut
if so, the amount is so small as to be of
uo practical value. The ashes may be
used to improve the mechanical condi¬
tion of very heavy soils, which contain
vegetable matter. They are also of me
as an absorbent, and may be placed
around fruit trees with advantage. In
all cases they should be fine and dry
aud sifted.—State Agricultural Depart¬
ment.

Question. —What has become of the

should be much interested? We have
heard nothing of them recently,

Answer.—O wing to the rapidity with
which the crop has been gathered, aud
also to the fact that most merchants
and ginners had already purchased a
supply of tho flat ties, it has been im¬
possible to introduce the wire tie gen¬
erally this season. The first ones tried
did not give entire satisfaction, but you
will see from the following certificates,
that tho improved Hitt wire tie, double
strand and patent buckle, is not only a
substitute, but is considered superior to
the fiat tie iu many respects. A bunch
of these weighs 50 lbs. aud costs $1.10
at present prices. The flat ties weigh
45 lbs. to the bunch and cost $1.35. We
trust that farmsfs will read these cer¬
tificates and investigate the merits of
these new ties. Any questions ad¬
dressed to the Department of Agricult¬
ure, Atlanta, will be cheerfully an¬
swered.
The Brunswick compress, where the
ties were tried, is one of the largest iu
the south. Tho certificate speaks iu uo
uncertain tones as to the superiority of
the wire tie. The ties wiil be ou exhi¬
bition at the Agricultural Department,
and we would be glad to have farmers
come in aud examine them. The two
additional certificates are from two dif
ferent compress companies in Albany,

To Whom It May Concern:
I am now handling cotton upon which
Hitt’s wire tie and patent buckle lias
been used, and having l.-ad 25 years’ of
experience in stevedoring and compress¬
ing will say that I can highly recom¬
mend the Hitt device to the public as
being in every way far superior to the
flat bands aud buckles heretofore used.
First. It is cheaper, hence the planter
gets a benefit.
Second. Wire bands will not break
aud can be tied just as quickly as the
flat oues, hence the compress people are
benefited.
Third. Wire bands can be tied tighter
than flat bauds, which means a greater
density, and as there will be no broken
bands the cotton arrives at destination
in much better condition than if it had
been compressed with flat bands thereon,
hence the shippers are benefited in two
ways: first, by lower ocean rates on ac¬
count of increased density, and secondly
by having cotton reach destination iu
better condition than if pressed with
flat bands.
Fourth. There are no sharp ends of
bauds to cut the hands of laborers when
handling cotton compressed with the
Hitt device, hence the stevedores will
prefer wire Underwriters bands upon cotton.
Fifth. should make a
reduction in insurance rate 3 on cotton
with wire bauds upon it, aud no doubt
they will when they are generally used,
as in case of fire wire bands will stand
more than double tho heat of flat bauds
without breaking, hence a great deal
more cotton wiU be saved iu bales than
if it were in the loose condition, as loose
cotton bums very rapidly.

Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir— I forgot to mention in my
letter of yesterday to you that I have had
considerable experience in the nse of
wire bands 00011 cotton. I have used
them in the past when doubling cotton
(putting two bales together) under great
pressure iu our Brunswick compress.
Necessity compelled would me not to hold use wire, doubled as
the flat bands
' the bagging
Wirt) bauds will not cut
of cotton bales when two bales are
pressed into oue, let alone upon single
pressed bales. I have proven tins fact
from practical experience, and I make
this statement without fear of c u
tradiotion. Furthermore the tensiie
strength of wire is far more than tensile
strength of flat band?, heuca there will
not be any broken bands or bursted
bales when tied with wire, which must
certainly be a benefit to everybody who
is interested. disadvantage
I cannot discover any
in the use of the Hitt device, but, vice
versa, it has an advantage over the flat
baud in every particular.
Very respectfully F. Churchill, yours,
A.

To Whom It May Concern:
In a trial of the ‘’Hitt bale tie” at our

It secures the bale at the density to
which the press reduces it fully as well
as the band tie. .

Planting O.iloug.
Question.— I have an' aero of good
hammock land now in peas. I wish to
plant this laud iu onions as soon as the
peas are taken off. After broadcasting
well rotted stable manure over tho
ground, will it require any
mercial fertilizer? If so what kind and
how much? What variety of onion
seeds would you advise? How many
seed will it require? Where can I get
reliable seed?
Answer.—Y our land should be deeply
broken and harrowed and re-harrowed
until the soil is thoroughly pulverized.
This careful preparation, in addition to
heavy manuring, is essential to the sue
cessful raising of onions. In addition
to a liberal applic ition of well rotted
stable manure, you will find it advau
tageous to add at least 530 lbs of cotton
seed meal, and 500 lbs of kaiuit, half
which should be broadcasted, aud half
applied iff the drill. The onion likes a
heavy dose of nitrogen, aud is also fond
of potash and salt, both of which it will
get from the kainit. In your latitude
(below Savannah), to have early onions
on the market you should sow the seed
in a seed bed, from Sept. 1st to Sept,
