Hints on Iti-oaking Laril.
Question.—M y crops arc all gath¬
ered; I have sowed my oats and
wheat, now would it not be a good idea
for me to break my laud for next year’s
crop?
Answer.—Y our crops being all gath¬
ered, by all means start at once to break
your land for another year. Many of
our farmers, when their crops aro
house,d, make the serious mistake of
waiting until spring before starting
their plows, This mistake frequently
results in serious loss, for should tin
Bpring bo dry, tho ground, packed by
the heavy whiter rains, beeomos so hard
that it is impossible to break it properly
and the result is that they aro forced to
plant on poorly prepared ground.
The old adage that “a crop well
planted is half made” is perfectly true,
therefore ‘‘take time by the forelock,”
cud -o to work at ouco preparing your
land for another crop. In doing this
work don’t follow the too common plan
of simply scratching tho surface as it
were, but get your plows deep into tho
ground, bringing to the surface, if per
cible, not less tliau an inch of the sub¬
soil, upon which the sun lias nevor
Bhoue. At the same time turn under
everything that is on the surface, such as
grass, cornstalks cottoiistalks, paaviuos,
etc. Burn nothing, except in excep
tionnl eases, where on very rich land
the cottoiistalks have grown so largo
that burning is necessary to got rid of
them.
Our farmers, as a rule, do not appre¬
ciate the importance of this deep fall
plowing. The advantages of it ar-' nu¬
merous and important. Among others,
I regard tho deepening of the soil a 3
most important, Should you turn to
tho surface in tho spring an inch of tho
rod clay subsoil, it would probably be
baked into clods by tho heat of the sun,
interfering with the growth and
cultivation of the crops through the eu
tiri season. Turned up, however, in
tho fall this subsoil becomes disinto
grated by the ,
frequent freezings and
thawing, and when you plow your laud
in the spring it becomes thoroughly in
corporate,! * with i he top 1 »uii, soil adding juuiuK to lu
its . depth and fertility
aud thus insuring
you better crop*. You s at onco

The grass, cornstalks, etc., which aro
turned under row', add to the fertility
of the land, wh ns, by sSring their fer
"
turning .... properties have ,
been largely ex¬
hausted by ovap ’-ation and ! leaching
raius. Then again iau t-liRt is deeply
plowed at this season will not wash so
badly as that that is left untouched.
Another very important gain is. that
your fields will be iu fine tilth for your
spring preparation for planting, and
while your neighbor perhaps will
his ground at that time, so hard that he
cannot plow it, you rs so treated.wiil be
as meiiow and friable as an ash bank.
These advantages of course apply chiefly
to stiff lauds, for where the soil is a deep
6.-nd, 10 or 12 mclies perhaps to the sub¬
soil, I can no advantage in fall plow¬
ing, except the single one of getting the
grass, etc., turned under while yet they
have some fertilizing properties.
J trust that tbe farmers of this state will
generally try fall plowing at once, this
year being peculiarly favorable for it,
the crops having been gathered so un¬
usually early. I am fully satisfied that
it needs but a fair trial, to become the
rule, instead of the excejffion, as at pres¬
ent.—State Agricultural Department.
Gmnl Si-ed For Planting.
Question*.—Is the selection of good
Reed for planting as important as many
think?
Answer. —Good seed is the very first
requisite for a good crop, but a great
number of farmers are very indifferent
ou this point, seeming to think that any
seed of a given plant will produce a good
crop. There could be no greater mis¬
take. For instance, take seed of oats or
wheat that has been cut when the grain
was only half ripe, aud what is the re¬
sult? There is an immediate deteriora¬
tion in the crop, the yield diminishes,
and smut and rust are greatly increased.
Let your seed for planting be always
fully matured and ripened, that the re
suiting crop may have in it but few im
perfect plants. Seed corn should not be
selected in the crib, but in the field,
where the stalk as well as the oar can
be seen, and where by judicious and
] ers stent selection, great improvement
in size of ear and early maturity can be
attained. There is much room for im¬
provement in the way we select onr eot
touseed for plautiug, and with more
care in this respect we could considera¬
bly increase our cotton crop.—State Ag¬
ricultural Department.
Stocking a Fish Fond*
Question. —On my farm I have just
completed a fish pond, covering about
nn acre, and from 1 to 6 feet deep. How
cau I get some fish to stock it, and what
kind would you recommend?
Answer.— Captain J. D. Edmondson

for this state and you should wnte to

Artichokes to Fatten Hogs.
Question - . —Are Jerusalem artichoke!
good, to fatten hogs? If so how aro they
planted?
Answer.—A few roars ago the Jeru¬
salem artichoke seemed to be making
its way into favor with the farmers;
but of late little is said about it. It ie
highly recommended as a fattening
food, not tyily for hogs, but also fol
horses, cattle or sheep. It costs but little
to raise them; they will grow on almost
any soil if not wet. They are said to
yield two or three times as much as po¬
tatoes, and they are easily stored and
kept. With these advantages I think
they should be planted more largely.
Tbe great objection urged against them,
is the difficulty of getting rid of them,
once they are planted; but my opinion
is that a few- hogs confined to the patch
of artichokes would soon find every
tuber that had been overlooked in gath¬
ering. They may be piaffed. in drills,
three feet apart and two feet in the
drill. Plant whole suyill tubers, aud
cut the large ones as you would Irish
potatoes. Cultivate as you would corn,
They do best on a rich, mellow, light
soil, and the land should be prepared
and manured as you would for Irish
potatoes. This plant is a native of Mex¬
ico, but has been cultivated in Europe
for more than two centuries. It grows
from five to eight feet high aud is a
hardy perennial. I hope yon will plant
at lea t a patch, aud report result to tho

Tnrnine Under IVad OnM.
Question. —Where I planted corn this
year, I have a heavy coat of dead grass.
Would you advise burning this off, or
turning it under? Wout the burning of
the grass k.ll most of the seed, aud ben¬
efit me in that way?
Answer. —By all means turn under
the dead grass instead of burning it off.
It is to a small extent a fertilizer, and
if it does no other good, it at least adds
mechanically in loosening up and mak¬
ing the soil more porous, so that air aud
moisture can more easily reach the roots
of plants. The burning of the grass
would undoubtedly kill some of the
grass seed, but the heat is too short-lived
to kill them all, and next spring when
cotton-hoeing time comes, you would not
miss those ruined by the tiro. Bay it
down as a general rule, never to burn
off your fields, but always turn under
all vegetable matter, even if it is dry
and dead, and the more you can turn
under the better for your land, espe¬
cially if it is a stiff clav.— State Agri¬
cultural Department.
Fortilizing Teach Orchards.
fertilized, Question. —Should peach orchards bo
aud if so, what would be a
good formula?
Answer. —It has not been very usual
for onr peach growers to fertilize their
orchards with special reference to the
trees aud their fruit. As a rule the fer¬
tilizing has been done to promote tho
growth of some crop requiring shallow
cultivation, such as cotton or ground
peas, and the fertilizer applied to these
crops, between tho rows of peach trees,
has usually been considered onough for
the trees, with perhaps the addition of
a little ground bone applied immediately
around the tree. This plan is not con¬
ducive to either healthy trees or fine
fruit. Fertilizing the peach orchard is
as essential to success, as fertilizing the
garden or the cotton field. As you
would not expect to make fine cabbages
or onions on poor land, neither need you
expect fine peaches from an impover¬
ished aud worn out soil. Fertilizing
the peach trees, not only improves the
fruit both in size aud flavor, but it gives
vigor and health to the trees, and thus
to some extent enables them to resist
the attacks of insect enemies, always
ready to pounce upon and destroy any
tree that shows signs of loss of vitality
or strength. Nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid are as essential to the
perfect growth of peach trees, as they
are to any of the cereal crops. The use
of large quantities of nitrogen should
be avoided, as an excessive growth of
leaves and wood, would be the result,
with deteriorated fruit. Generally
speaking, sufficient nitrogen can bo sup¬
plied, by planting pea- in the orchard
annually, and giving them clean culti¬
vation. If, however,the trees show want
of vigorous growth, apply from 75 to
100 pounds of nitrate of soda, or its
equivalent in cottonseed meal, or dried
blood, per acre. Potash may with great
benefit be use d liberally on laud devoted
to peaches especially after the trcr»s
have commenced to bear. This can be
supplied, by muriate, or sulphate of pot¬
ash, by kaiuit or by ashes. While phos¬
phoric acid is perhaps of less importance
on most lands, than potash, it should by \
no means bo omitted, if you wish to im¬
prove both the health aud the fruitful
ness of your peach trees. Late experi
ments seem, to prove that proper mauur
ing, tot only adds greatly to the -rep,
