This done, liUlo cultivation will bo needod
After tho corn is up. It 1b very desirable to
make u forage of good quality, that each stalk
should; be circumstanced so that it can make
• littlo nuM»in. Tho land, thereforo, should
not l>o too i>oor. On very poor land, oven with
ample distance, corn falls to shoot if tho weath
er is quite dry. riant then on good land, or
that which is manured. Three to five hun
dred pounds of cotton teed meal broadcast on
an scro and harrowed In will suffice. Give
■nfllclent light and air for the purposo men
tioned—plant, say in tbroo and n half to four

Thick reeding will make a great deal of forage
on rich land, but it will bo worth very little.
(Jive two workings In rapid succession (with

will bo needed, if tho laud has boon properly
prepared.
lastly, row enough land to havo an
ahubdaiice of forage to cat and food greon

Prrparo land and plant In samo way, some
Kaffir corn, mlllo maize or donna corn, lowing

fifteen Inches. Do this now. These will corns
through s prolonged drouth bettor then corn.
May l»e alio cut and fed green, or allowed to

corn, end biadoe cured ee fodder. Tho dry
■talks sro worth little. A little early amber
cane may also bo started now for greon feed;
ret after the seeds are In dough state. The
plant then is sweetest and richest, and makes
excellent ration, in part for mnlee and cows.
It is not advisable to enre it, hot to feed green.
For this purpose successive planting may be
made from tho last of April to first of August.

1. Your plan would work bettor with cotton
than with corn. The late formed roots of
corn spring mainly from the large braco roots
and do not extend to middle of rows. The
last formed roots are those which do most of
the work of absorbing. Would prefer to have
manure nearer to both cotton and corn. Tho
best arrangement, were it not 1 or the trouble
involved, is to put some in drill and bed on it
—then some in first siding furrow at first
working, and then somo in a farrow atill
farther off at recond working, and so on till
middle Is reached. Ono hundred pounds in
drill and fifty pounds in each successive fur
row might be applied thus up to four hundred
pcundi per acre.
2. Would not risk more in the center furrow.

and, lu fact, essential elements In all standard
guanos, will you to kind enough to Inform ui
whether there Is any way, fly analysis or other-

arc derired?
The nitrogen in commercial fertilizers in

special source may sometimes be ascertained
by examination with a miscroscone. Hut this
requires an expert or one trained to such ex
aminations. All the abovo mentioned sources
of nitrogen are unobjectionable bnt leather

too slowly. There is not much practical dif

Doubtful whether it will pay to manure land
as productive as yours is.
1. Cotton should ta planted promptly by the
first of May; would stop grax.ng in time to do
this.
2. Break land broadcast; lay off rows and
plaut without bedding. A littlo of the com
post may be put in the drill with the seed, this
will stimulate the young plants to vigorous
growth, say 200 pounds per acre.
:t. Yon may apply 2,000 pounds broadcast ta-

dust, chips, shavings, etc., but don't know If it
would bo best to mix II with the manure.
2. Is It best to keep It dry or let some rain on U.
a. What grass ta best for low. wet laud, (old) clay
foundation? Also, for very thin clay land, dry? 1
mran without fertilizing.
4. How would you ret a ;ffeld In Bermuda grass"
Cow manure Is disposed to ferai out very slow
ly. Mixing It with now# manure helps it, by
hastening the fermentation, and bringing It
Into tho condition of plant food sooner than
when unmixid. The addition of trash will
not help its fermentation; rather tha reverse.
Hotter, thorefore, to keep tho two separate.
The traih may ta composted with lime and
ashes, and thus reduced pretty quickly.
2. Both should be kept damp to allow the
d« sired changes to go on.
For wet lard, red top or herds grass. For
thin land and dry, Bermuda ta best of all.
4. By getting roots and cutting them up in
small piece# with a forage ratter: then scatter

W., near Colorado river, Texas, has discovered a
Isrg( cave in which there la a vaat quantity of bat
guano,and wishes to know tu value and what it
would bring In Atlanta In Iota of several bnnlrod
tuna
Bat guano varies a good deal In composition.
An average of several analyses Indicates about
K? per cent of nitrogen and 4 > of phosphoric
acid. This makes it quite a good, highly am*
mouiated fertiliser, containing rather more
nittegtn than cotton seed meal, and twice as
much si phosphoric acid. It ooghl to sell for
as much as cotton seed meal—say $20 a ton.
W. T. B., lexlngton, Ga.-I have become so
deeply Interested In your Farm Question Box that
1 have concluded to ask aosto myself. I have somo
\ery rich bottom land that lay in water and gram
tot a long time. 1 ha> e ditched it off and can't get
corn to grow on tt at all. I w ant to set It in apple
trvc»-*ome good winter apple. Do you think it
w ould pa)? If not, what U the boat to do with it?
laud which hsa long been covered with
water often contains a goodly quantity of adds
foimtd from the decay of vegetable matter
wi iUt it was partly rat off from the air by tha
w »ter. Three adds are injurious to cultivated
plants, and do not disappear until some time
sftor draining has given the air opportunity to
i ntcr freely. But tha proecee may be hastened
by applications of lima. You might try ten
bushels of lime to the acre. If the iejurious
acids are not removed by lima or by lime, it Is
doubtful if apple ti cos would thrive on acid
lai d. Bat as lime is beneficial to apple trees
U would be well to apply It in any event.
P. D , Pumper, Mias.: 1 lure fire acres of cans-
brake laud that will make forty bu-heU of com per

of ftrtliuir would ta lot, and bow app'y It? The
toll is veiy deep, but locks something. 1 have also
tome randy clay Ttry poor land that 1 wUh to sow

many seed be beat to sow per acre to be cut with a
jhuvex, I Utca quantity ox liable manure, cab
that ta wed advaiitageouriyonthelacd described;
if )o, h«.w and when apply it?
Cancct prescribe with any certainty that your
laud will ruakelGO bushels. Bich land cannot
ta specially defective In any one ingredient, as
is often the case in old exhausted soils. A
complete manure, one containing all the sub-
ranees needed by plants, would neem to ta in
dicated. A comport of stable maaore, cotton
iced, phosphate and kainit. made according to
Forman's formula, would be sneh a "complete"
manure, and you are advised to try It. Tbe
proportions or formula* are: Phosphate, 4ho
round); kzinit, 200pounds; stablo manure, do
buiheb; cotton seed, 30 bushels. We prefer to
put manure around corn at firit ana soon I
workings, put in a good handfal of fertilizer in
siding farrow on each side of hill. For
this purpose a thousand pounds might be nsod
jer sere, and double that quantity broad castsd
and plowed In at tame time. After manure is
plowed in cultivation should be very shallow,
that the corn roots may ta able to ramify
through the (oil near tho surface, as web as
elsewhere, and thus find all the manure.

-L M. M., Lincoln, Ala.: We arc told that clover
and other vegetation gathers hut little, if any. fer
tilizing property from the atmosphere. How docs
It improve land If you return to the laud ouly
what 1*produced from the laud itself? It seems
liuouMfcteut to mu that H could do so; still, 1 am
Mlhfltd that It does improve land.
l'lanta draw a greater part of their drj sub
stance from the air. But of those more valu
able ingredients of manures, viz: nitrogeq,
phosphoric acid aud potaah, none of tho last
two aro gotten from tho air, and it Is not cer
tain that any of the first /nitrogen) Is derired
from that sourco. liow, then, does a growth
of planti improve the soil, as it unquestionably
does? lu two ways: First. Plants that aro
drop rooted, liko clover, gather valuable sub
stances deep below tho surface, from the sub
soil, distribute them through tboir atoms aud
leave*, and when thovdio and their remains
nro mixed with the soil proper, succeeding veg
etal iou can readily get and appropriate them.
Without creating or Importing plant food the/
redistribute it through tho soil and placo
It In convenient conditions for other plants.
Bnt, secondly, they render available sub-
stancca which were lockod up in the soil and
beyond tho reach of many plants. In svonr
fair arable soil there Is, for Instance, enough
nitrogen to moot tho demands of crops for a
hundred or more years. To the depth of one
foot there la in the soil of an aero from six to
twslvrthousand ponnds of nitrogen. But, as
we said. It Is locked op. Analysis will bring
it to light, bnt plants generally cannot get it
out of Its combinations. Mow, clover and ))eas
and kindred plants havo an unusual root pow
er; a power of acting on tho insoluble organic
cc ro pounds of the soil containing nitrogen, and
of appropriating said nitrogen to their own uso.
Their remains convey it to other plants in a
form which they can appropriate; that Is, they
are purveyors of nitrogen.

Hungarian colonies at 34th and Blank street,
which resulted in the fatal shooting of one man
a».d the serious wounding of several others. It
grow out of a christening festivity. When tte
christening party had eaten and drank, they
went ont upon the sidewalk and mado war
upon the inhabitants of a neighboring honse.
Others in nclghborhcod became involved and
tbe rproar became so great that it required a
detachment of a dozen police, armed with
Winchester rifle* to quell the disturbance.
Three or fenr police first mado thoir appear
