Thou tako your hay fork and put your vines into cocks about three feet high; the v j nea should bo allowed to reinuu, if possjbl6i throngh tbe second day. Then use your hay folk and place the vine3 on stacks Vi or U feet high, or just high enough for ilia fork to reach the top of the pole. The pole should be sharpened " - rrJTM: free access. However, the hav would cure very nicoiy in dry weather with¬ out this precaution. After the bay has cured about five or six days, ac¬ cording to the state of the weather, your hay will be ready for the barn. The Unknown pea, the Clay pea and the Black pea are probably the best varieties. You can obtain any of those varieties from a reliable wholesale mer¬ chant, either in Atlanta, Macon or Au¬ gusta. Mark W. Johnson of Atlanta 1 am satisfied could furnish you. Front three pecks to one bushel and a half of the peas should be sown to the acre, according to the fertility of the soil. The plan of broadcasting them in your corn, when you lay by, is used by many good farmers. Jf you do not get much hay and peas, your laud will be greatly improved, which is one of the chief advantages to be derived by sow¬ ing your land in peas. If you wish to enrich your soil, the Whippoorwill va¬ riety is probably the bast for this use. Three pecks to the acre will be suffi¬ cient to plant in your corn when yon lay by. Now, as to whether your corn would be injured by the peas or not, Ido not believe the injury would be sufficient to overcome the great ben¬ efit the pea crop would be to the laud. —State Agricultural Department. Forage Plant. Question —Please toll me what, in your opinion, would be a good forage plant tor spring pasturing and hay. Answek —For a good forage plant and for spring pasturing and hay, I would recommend the Hairy Vetch (Vicid Villosa ) This plant is a native of Europe, but has been grown as a forage crop in the United States for a long time, and lies proved very satisfactory. It is espe¬ cially adapted to the southern climate, and is able to withstand the drouth utid extremely hot weather. It should be sowed either broadcast or in drills from Sept. I to Sept. 15, and if you have a favorable season for about six weeks, it will tako a good start and grow through the winter, furnishing winter and early spring pasture. It should be cut for fodder when tho pods are about half matured. If proparly cured, it makes good hay, and cau be handled like cow peas. Tho seed is quite expensive, costing about $4 00 per bushel. It is also similar to the cow poa as a soil renovator.—State Agricult¬ ural Department. COTTON HURT BY DROUTH. Necessary to 1J« Careful In Gathering the Crop. On account of the severe drouth the groater portion of this state has been subjected to during the past five or six weeks, the cotton crop has boen very badly damaged. The bolls have been forced open prematurely, and tho lint and seed iu tho bottom bolls have not been perfected. It is necessary, there j oro> tbat tbo f armer4 0 f f bo state be very careful in gathering their crop, not only on account of preserving the whiteness of their cottou, in case there should be rain, but also this bottom crop 8 j| OU j db9 picked as fast as possible, so aR ( 0 procure these prematurely devel oped seed in tho first- picking and use them for feed or manorial purposes, It is necessary to preserve the best seed of the crop for plantiug purposes f or another season, and, therefore, the geed from the second picking should be gaved for planting seed. Great care should be taken to separate the seod that ba «sed for manures or feeding purposes from the seed you in ( eud to use for planting purposes, as the crop for another season depends U pc U the care taken in selecting the aeed vV hich you intend to plant. The seed from the second picking will be more mature and have better germinating power than the seed from the first picking. A great many farm trs complain of ba<l stands in the early spring, and this is greatly caused by the lack of cara in selecting the plant¬ ing seed.—State Agricultural Depart meut.
