We often hear of cities that
are built upon rocks, but Du¬
rango is the only one I know of
that has a foundation of iron,
says a Mexican correspondent
of the Chicago Record. Within
the city limits rises the famous
iron mountain, a solid mass of
m; ! al, one mile long, three quar¬
ters of a mile wide, and 6d0 feet
high, that is from GO to 70 per
pure, and I am told that
73 per cent, is the highest chem¬
ical possibility. From the base
of this outcronping the deposit
seems to spread r in all directions
for a radius of three or four
miles, dipping deeper as it ex¬
tends, until, on the other side
of Durango, those who dig wells
or sink shafts for any purpose
reach it as they reach bedrock
elsewhere, a solid stratum of
iron from 75 to 100 feet below
the surface. Its extent never
has been explored. It may
reach for miles further, but
nobody, knows it. There is
enough iron in sight iu the
mountain to supply the whole
republic of Mexico forever, and
it is declared that the entire de¬
posit would last the world 1,000
years. However, there is uo
- ich mass of metals in existence
tnywhere else, and sooner or
Later it will be surrounded by
furnaces and factories to utilize
he remarkable facilities it offers

Which is considered the best, a bearded

Answer. — Many experiments have

depth to insure the largest yield. Some
prefer the beardless and others prefer
the bearded wheat. I thiuk the bearded
varieties suit our soil and climate best,

state.—State Agricultural Department.
To Prevent a Cow From Sucking Herself.
Question.—D o yon know any way to
prevent a cow from sucking herself?
thu .cm. com have. The 1*« plan I
, have heard , of is this, viz: put . a pair ,, of
straight hames on the cow s neck. just
in front of the shoulders, and another
pair just two‘pairs back of her horns Nail to
these of hames, two stout
strips of wood on each side of her neck.
This will effectually prevent her from
socking herself, and will not prevent
her grazing. An animal addicted to
this habit had better be fattened and
butchered for beef, for in all probability
whenever you remove the side bars you
will find the habit as strong as ever.—
State Agricultural Department.
rianting Cabbages.
Question.—I am preparing to plant
several acres of land iu winter cabbages
for northern markets. The laud is fair,
sandy loam, with good, red clay subsoil.
Now tell me what is the best commer¬
cial fertilizer I can use, how much ought
I to use per acre, where cau I get it and
what will it cost me cash?
Answer. —Cabbages are very gross
feeders and need a fertilizer rich in all
the elements of plant food. Well rotted
stable manure is the best fertilizer for
cabbages, as iudeed it is for almost all
plants. In tho absence, however, of
stable manure, commercial fertilizers
are used very successfully, You want
a mixture carrying 7 to 8 per cent of
nitrogen, 6 to 7 per cent ox potash and 7
to 8 per cent of available phosphoric
acid. You should use 1,500 to 2,000
pounds to the acre, broadcasted, and
from 400 to 500 pounds iu tho drill.
You can got such a fertilizer put up by
any of tho guano factories, and it will
cost you in tho neighborhood of $40 a
ton. Don’t forgot to tear that clay sub
soil all to pieces, if yon want to make
fine cabbages.—State Agricultural De¬
partment.
Fertilizing; Properties of Cottonseed.
Question.—I have a quantity of cot¬
tonseed, for which I am offered $7.00
per ton. Will it pay me to accept that
price, or are the seed more valuable to
the farm as a fertilizer? Please tell me
the fertilizing properties iu a ton of seed
and their value.
Answer.— I have always endeavored
to convince the farmers of Georgia that
it would not pay them to sell their cot¬
tonseed at $7.00 per ton (10j^ cents a
bushel). The haul of the seed must be
counted against the farmer, aud cannot
be estimated at less than $1.00 per ton,
leaving him $6.00 per ton—or less than
9 cents per bushel. As meal is selling
for about $18.00 per ton, you will be
giving three tons of seed for one of
meal.
Let us compare the value of three tons
of seed to a tou of meal, in fertilizing
properties:
Nitrogen. Phospho- ie Acid. Pot- ash.
l
lbs. Ib3. lbs.
In a ton of whole seed. t>).4 20.4 33.4
In three tons...........184.2 61.2 70.2
Nitrogen. Phospho- Acid. Pot
ric ash.
lbs. lbs. lbs.
In a ton of C. S. Meal. ill.6 58. 36.
Thus you see that the three tons of
seed contain of nitrogen 42.6 pounds, of
phosphoric acid 5.2 pounds, and of pot¬
ash 34.2 pounds, more than the ton of
cottonseed meal, worth iu the aggregate
$6.40. When you sell your seed do not
do it for less than 15 cents per bushel or
$10.00 per ton, for when you sell for less
you are simply giving away valuable
fertilizing material, and not only giving
it away, but furnishing a team and
hauling it to the purchaser yourself. In
the above calculation no value has been
given to the mechanical effect of the
whole seed when used as a fertilizer,
though every farmer knows that iu use
ing the whole seed he adds considerable
humus to the soil, and renders stiff clay
soils more friable and easier of cultiva¬
tion.—State Agricultural Department.
To He.troy th© “Lear Folder.”
Question -I have a number of vines
that are aff’Sted with “Leaf Polder.”
What will prevent them, aud will they
do much damage to vines this late in
the season? I also have some vines af¬
fected iu a manner that I do not under¬
stand. I send you some sample leaves.
Is it not the “Rose Chafer?” What
shall I do to remedy the matter?
Answer. —The best method of des¬
troying the “Leaf Folder” is to crush
them suddenly withiu the leaf with
both hands. To prevent their appear¬
ance, however, is less troublesome, pro¬
vided the neighboring grape growers
unite in the effort. The chrysalis is
formed within the folds of the leaf,
and by going over the vineyard in the
autumn, before the leaves fall, and care¬
fully picking and destroying ail those
that are folded and crumpled the sup¬
ply for the following year will be cut
off. This remedy, though very effect¬
ive. will avail but little unless all iu a
neighborhood unite iu it. I do not
tfcink the “Leaf Folder” wifi injure
your vines this late in the season (Sept.
10), but you should take steps to reduce
their numbers for another year. The
leaves sent are injured by the “Grape
Leaf Hopper,” and not by the “Bose
Chafer.” The former attack the thin
leaved varieties of grapes in preference
, 0 those with thicker leaves, like the
Concord, etc. They fasten . their . beaks , .

the approach ot winter. The
promising remedy yet discovered is to
dust the leaves with pyrethrum (insect
powder), or tobacco dust, in the early
life of the “Leaf Hopper,” before they
have acquired wings. Millions of them
may be destroyed by this means. After
they acquire wings there is no remedy
yet known that has much effect upon

Hice as Stock Feed.
Question. —I have a field of npland
rice, that has a very fine growth of
stalk. It is now heading out, and as the
heads appear, they dry up the stalk.
Can you tell me why this is? Should I
cut the rice now, what kind of stock
feed would it make?
Answer.—N ot knowing all the con
ditious, relating to the st>il, rainfall, etc.,
it is difficult to give a satisfactory an¬
swer to the first question. It is possi¬
ble that the soil is so dry, that the plants
cau advance no farther towards matu¬
rity, or it may be that the land was on
riched with a fertilizer not properly bal¬
anced, and that in its growth it has ex¬
hausted the plant food necessary to
make the grain, and has so come to a
stand still.
By all means cut it for stock feed, as
