Question. —Please givif me some i lea
about planting and cultivating onions,
celery and sweet potatoes.
Answer.—O nions do best on a light
loamy soil, which mu-t be deeply
broken, thoroughly pulverized aud
highly manured. They thrive on land
filled with humus, and therefore reten¬
tive of moisture. Lima is needed for
foil development, and most soils con
tain enough of this element of plant
food. They should also be preceded by
a crop which required clean cultivation,
such as cotton or potatoes, as the soil
vrili then be. in a measure, free from
weed and grass seeds. Commercial fer¬
tinzers are bettor than animal manures,
m they contain no hurtful seeds. Use
p ,. n mis per acre of a fertilizer rua
mug about 6 per cent available phos¬
phoric acid, 7 percent potash, and 4 per
cent nitrogen. Broadcast 1,500 pounds

feet wide, aud 0 to 8 inches in the row.
Sets do best-growing larger and reach
ing maturity much sooner-if planted
about the middle of September in this
state. A moist low land suits celery
best, though it can be grown success
fully wherever it call be watered when
necessary. Manure the ground very
heavily iu the spring for onions, cab¬
bages, beets or any other early crop;
as soon as the first crop is taken off,
or spade the ground deeply, pul¬
it thoroughly to receive the
plants. The seed should bo sown
the last of March iu good soil, in
12 inches apart. When the plants
about il iuclios high clip off the tops,
repeat this later on, to get a stocky
and make tho plants more uni¬
iu size. When the first crops have
removed, a liberal quantity of
fertilizer applied and tho
woil prepared you aro ready to sot
celery plants. Lay off rows 3>£
wide and place a plant everv (>
, in . the .. row. „ Before , setting out
the roots to 2’^ inches in length,
cut off the leaves even with tho top
the hud. Set out if possible in cloudy
and should it be very hot and
just after setting out, some protec¬
must bo given tho young plants.

dry at any time during the growth

tilizer containing 7 per cent available
phosphoric acid, 9 per cent potash and
4 per cent iiitrogon. Then run a scooter

with the dirt, after which bed aud
plant, placing tiie slips J3 inches apart
in the row. Cultivate on a level, stir
ing the ground frequently.—State Ag¬
ricultural Department.
Watermelon and t I'otato Culture.
Question. — Will watermelons make
on land after sweet potatoes, or potatoes
after watermelons? Is cottonseed meal
and acid phosphate a good fertilizer for
cotton, and if so in what proportions?"
Answer. — Watermelons and sweet
potatoes are both large consumers of
potash, and for that reason only they
do not follow each other wall, unless a
fertilizer is used containing a large per
centago of potash. Therefore, in fol
lowing either of these crops with the
3 per cent ammonia aud 8 to 10 per
cent potash.
The vineloss yam produces well, is a
good potato for eating, matures early,
but is not a good keeper. In tho contest
for tho one hundred dollar premium,
offered by the Atlanta Weekly Oonsti
tution for the largest yield of sweet po
tatoes from one acre of land, a farmer
In South Carolina won tho prize by rais
ing over 50.) bushels to tho aero. Ha
planted the vineless yam. Cottonseed
meal and aciii phosphate do not consti
lute a complete fertiliser for cotton.
There is lacking the very essential in
P ri? dieiit, potash. A good fertilizer for
cotton should contain from 8 to 10 per
cent available phosphoric acid, 2 to 8
per cent ammoaia aud 2 to 4 per ceut of
potss’i. To got such a fertilizer mix
1,000 pounds high grade acid phosphate,

Ci veie.i with die insects, and would be

jhi.i I not better cut down my infected
- '
, Answer. —The twigs are well oov
ered with the “Oyster Shell Bark
; Loose.” one of the worst enemies of
the apple gr wer. Yon need not, how
! ever, cut down your trees on their ac¬
count, for with proper care they can he
successfniiy fought. During the winter
^ ^ lt0 caiefuily examined,
and if these or any other scale insects
ar found they should be scraped off as
thoroughly as possible. This means,
how wer, will not entirely exterminate
the lice, as many yriii be on the smaller
twigs, which canuot be scraped, there¬
fore other means must also be used.
Watch out daily for the hatching of
the young lice, which in Middle Geor¬
gia will occur early in April, or soouer,
if the weather is warm. A close ex
. .
animation will show them mov 1 „ „
about on the bark, hunting for a good

a,m for a sh<frt t,me after they berom ®
Nonary, they are easily destroyed,
being then very tender and dclic.ito.
Three remedies are recommended, aud
doubtless they are ail good. First,
when yon find the young lice running
about the limbs, wash or paint tiie en¬
tire bark with a strong solution of soft
soap and washing soda. To make this,
dissolve A pound of washing soda in
or 3 gallons of water, and with this
dilute soft soap to the consistency of a
thick paste. Second remedy? When
the lice are observed, syringe thoroughly
with a solution of washing soda, made
by dissolving % pound of soda in 2
gallons of water. Third remedy: Spray
with kerosene emulsion, made as fol¬
lows: Jverosane, 2 gallons; whale oil
soap, 1 y pound (or 1 quart of soft soap);
water, 1 gallon. Dissolve the soap in
boiling water and add the hot solution
(away from tho fire) to tho kerosene.
Agitate the mixture violently with a
force pump or other means for 5 min¬
utes, or until tiie iiquid becomes of the
consistency of cream. If well made,
this emulsion will keep for a long time,
to be used as wanted. For this insect,
dilute the emulsion with eight or ten
times its bulk of cold water. Iu apply¬
ing any of these remedies the work
must be done very thoroughly, so that
every portion of the bark may bo
reached, otherwise soma of the lice wiil
escape and will quickly ‘ increase aqd
multiply.” Before the protecting, scaly
shields cover these lice they are quite
helpless from attacks from other quart¬
ers, and are preyed on by several para¬
sites arid by one or two species of tho
ladybug. Insect enemies to the vari¬
ous fruits aro very common now in
Georgia, where bat a fow years ago
they wore unheard of, and only by care
and watchfulness and the use of the
washes and sprays of various kinds can
we now hope for the finest fruits.—State
Agricultural Department.
Corn Rai*iit£ In Georgia.
Question. —I have made corn for 20
years on tho prairie lands of Iowa,
using no fertilizers, and leaving two to
four stalks in the hill. I know nothing
about raising corn iu Georgia and I and
several of my friends would like some
instructions from you. Tell us also
what “side crops” to plant, both for
hay and for leading green.
Answer —The climatic conditions
and tiie soil of Georgia are so entirely
different from what you have beeti ac¬
customed to in Iowa, that you will have
to got rid of your fixed ideas about corn
raising and adopt those in vogue here,
or make a failure. Tho soil of the Iowa
prairies is deep, full of humus, and
well adapted to corn, and the season of
growth being short, nature beneficently
provides that all cereals rusii rapidly to
maturity. In this state we have a thin
soil on our uplands, denuded of humus
to a great extent by long cultivation in
cotton and a long season of summer,
during which our corn crop leisurely
reaches maturity. Ou account of these
differences in soil and climate, you must
in Georgia make your rows wider, drop
the corn farther apart and leave fewer
stalks in the hill than you would in
Iowa. Ou our river bottoms aud in
the rich valleys of the Cherokee coun
try you can plaut corn much closer and
make good crops, but it wont do on oar
ordinary uplauds In preparing the
land break up flush, or bed out in 5
foot rows, plowing as deep as possible,
but not bringing the subsoil to the sur
face. I prefer bedding out the laud in
5 foot rows, and planting in tho water
furrow (except in very saddy sail), as
in that case you gat your corn deepet - in
the ground and can work it with more
case afterwards, as well as putting it
where it can best withstand ‘drouth,
When ready to plant, from first to
last oC March, according to locality,
strew in the water furrow (the plant
ing furrow) 300 pounds of a fertilizer
carrying 7 per cent phosphoric acid,
1 1.60 por cent potash aad 4 per cent am-
monta. Run a scooter plow back and
forth to mix the ferfrilizar with the soil,
then drop your corn 4 feet apart, two
grains to the hill, aud cover with a
double-foot plow. When the corn gets
the fourth leaf, thin to one stalk in the
bill. Taking for granted that the laud
has been deeply broken before planting,
let the cultivation from beginning to
end be shallow, either with sweeps or
cultivators, throwing a little dirt to the
■ cjru each plowing. Plow the crop
every 15 or 18 days, “laying it by” just
before the tassels appear. If carefully
plowed there will be no need of hoeing,
but should any weeds or grass escape
the plow, cut out with the hoe. As
yon “lay by,” sow a half bushel of cow
peas to the acre, ahead of the plows.
Bv following these directions, you
worth cultivating. As “side crops, " j
plant German millet, sorghum, cat-tail
millet, or drilled corn. AU of these
j should be planted 011 rich, deeply broken
land to yield well. In sandy or very
poor soil you had batter plaut your corn
in rows 6 feet wide, with a row of field
peas.in the middle.—State Agricultural
Department.
Grafting Wax.
Question. - Please toll me how to
maKe grafting wax. And give me a
BOO( j reci p 0 for making whitewash that
will stick.
Answer.— A cheap and good grafting
wax can , tie made by melting togethei
two parts of beeswax, one part of tallow
and four parts of rosin. Stir until cool
enough to handle and then prill like mo¬
lasses candy. After applying cover with
cloth or paper, to protect from a very
hot sun. If you want a harder wax,
use five parts of rosin instead of four.
Another grafting wax much used is
made by melting together three parts of
rosin, three parts of beeswax aud two
parts of tallow.
To make good whitewash, take
busiiel unslaked lime, freshly burned if
possible. Slake with hot water, keep¬
ing covered in the process. Add to this
1 peck of salt, dissolved in soft or rain
water. Then add 5 gallons hot water,
stirring well. Cover up and let stand
two or three days bofore using. When
using apply hot and you will find it
very satisfactory. Whitewash should
be used more freely on our farm build¬
ings and fences, as it is conducive to
health, preserves the wood and renders
attractive in appearance many building*
that would otherwise be unsightly. A
cream color may be given the abovs
wash by the addition of yellow ochre,
or a good pearl by adding lamp black.—

Remedy For In fi nned Eyes.
Question. —I have several cows that
appear to he going blind with inflamed
eyes; appetite good all the time. Oan
you tell me what to do for them?
Answer. —Ophthalmia, or inflamma¬
tion of the eyes, is a disease to which
cattle are not very subject, the most
common cause being exposure to cold.
From the number of cows that are
troubled with this disease, I infer that
the inflamed eyes are a symptom only
of some other disease. If I am correct
your description is too meager to diag¬
nose the cause of the trouble.
If there is nothing wrong with the
cows save inflammation of the eyes, I
would advise that you bathe the eyes
carefully morning and night with the
following mixture: Sulphate of zinc,
20 grains; acetate of lead, 1 drachm;
tincture of opium, % ounce; fluid ex¬
tract of belladonna, 2 drachms; rain
water, or water that has been boiled, 1
pint. Mix thoroughly. Should a white
film form over the ball of tho eye apply
directly to it morning and night, with a
soft feather, the following: Ten grains
of nitrate of silver, thoroughly dis¬
solved in 1 ounce of water that has been
boiled. Continue this until the film
disappears.—State Agricultural Depart¬
ment.
Method oT Keep! Kgg*,
Question. —Can you give me some re¬
ceipt by which I can keep eggs from
March uutii the following winter?
Answer. —There are a number of
methods that are recommended for
keepiug eggs, but I doubt very much
whether any of them would preserve
the eggs in eatable condition for the
length of time you desire. I would sug¬
gest that you put up the eggs in Sep¬
tember and October, when they are 1
usually very cheap, aud you can then
keep then until Xmas, aud sell at a good
profit. Either of the following metli
ous are said to j> 9 good, but in every
case the eggs must be perfectly fresh,
or they will certainly spoil. First
Method—Slack quick lime in water suf
ficientiy for your purpose, and when it
has settled, draw off the water. To
each gallon of water add 1 pound of
salt. Immerse the eggs in this solution, :
and be careful to always keep them be
low the surface of the water. The fol
lowing method, tried by the Agricult
ural Department at Washington, was
found to kfep the eggs in good condi
tion for six months in cool weather, viz:
Rub or rather anoint the eggs all over
with linseed oil, aud place them with
tho small ends downward iu dry sand,
Still another plan is to dissolve 4 ounces
of beeswax in 7 ouncel of warm olive
oil, anoint the eggs all over with this
preparation, and put away iu a cool
place. This will preserve them for many
mouths, it is said.—State Agricultural
Department. i
