COWPEAS AND CLOVER.
The farmers of tie- routh are be< on lap;
more and more convinced of the value of
the eowpei. ns a. forage and hay plant ami
as a. land renovator. It has often been
called “the clover of the south," and well
does it deserve the name. The value of
ch ver has long been highly approsat'd
in the north tnd xv» -t and in Euinp* Jin
i rom the red
, ~ regions of the country often attx-
ii.usly iMquire If clover will grow In the
particularly in the cotton belf.
Well-informed md candid southern far
.. , vill at once tell them that “we can
grow clover on lands fairly suited foi It,
and in g< ■*•;>• I condition." Hut the ,;| et. is
that tn tin- cotton states proper clov-’r docs
not succeed Very well excepting in noils
peeially nt cd “< lovering."

words, our wot n tnd (' x b:* 11 st * '* 1 ”i l> must

which It would be practically impossible
re secure a good crop ot clovet. hethet
thev now produce profitable crops or corn,
or cotton, or “anything else" is a very per
tinent question. W*' are inclined to believe
that oui *rtlxem ind western farmers are
nearer right than we. The southern far
n rin too < dly satisfied with the produc
tive ci:■ r-' ter of hie soil, He does not. Set
up ; high enough standard of productive
ness. Too many are well satisfied to get
twelve or fifteen bushels of corn, or one
half a bale of cotton per acre; while there
are thousands upon thousands of southern
*’ ormers who ita.x'e r:< v*-r In their lives s*-~
cured a. yield of one-h-tlf bale of cotton or
tilt/ n bushel- of corn, or twenty bushels
of cuts per acre!
Still it is true that the capacity of ottr
soil to pr 'dr ’c r"*i clover is not a. safe role
h . st!m te ft Hable produc
tiveness when planted in other crops than
'<ii. point i-e are aiming to im
press Isthr t t)t‘ southern farmer does not
demand enough of his soil. He is too easily
satisfied. An average of twelve to lift*” n
btish'-ls of corn per acre and one-half of
bale of cotton per acre would be very,
very satisfactory. This is a. very grave
mistake and one which wo have for years
been striving to point out and correct by
( very effort we can put forth.
.’•n.i Just here is wher.- the. cowpea comes
t > t,l>‘‘ • "Ip of th. former xx I t ■ •
IS not satisfied with the above meager
yields of corn, cotton and oats. Tht com
pea, with a little phosphoric help, is per
fectly at home in every class of southern
soils and can be easily Induced to produce
a ton of hay per a,to on very ordinary
land. Tills is the great point of advantage
' the cowpea >a over the red clover,
not only in the south, but also as far
north as the pea will thrive.
Now Is the Time To Commence.
May and J’iu- are the two months best
suited for planting the cowpea. In the ex
treme south -.’.irly planting may commence
in April and la-so crops may b* put in in
July and up to August Ist.
As a rule the earlier the seed Is planted
ilte greater will be the development <>f
vines, and the later sown “tiiii more to
seed.” Now is the time to plant lands :t* *t
have not been un* cupi* d with a crop late
ly. Those old fields that you have at List
been convinced are not fit for corn and
. cotton can now be sown in peas.
But we should ti nt ele :r it s th e false idea
that . th* p< a will grow • ven on
poor land, that therefore it Is not worth
while to apply any fertilizer to *!><• crop.
This is a very serious error and sL iuld b*;

on poor land than ir.. .i other . tops be
cause ft cap g* mpp x of that most
costly of al! plant t md eh inents, nitrogen,

your readers pleas*, give a. remedy for ticks
am cows? I have tom* cows that are full
of the ticks. The cows are In thin order.
Would like a remedy
Answer Our inquirer certainly has not
I*’ it reading tin W*ekly for sorn.- Tine
past or he would have seen two editorials
and somt! other articles on cattle ticks
that have appeared recently. Where there
ar*- but few large ticks puii or scrap* them
off and mash them to death. Th- gr. are
all the infested parts- the back part of t:-c
udder, the Inside ot the thighs and Hie es
cutcheon with any kind of clear gr*as« A.
mixture of one part kerosene to four parts
of lard or cotton seed oil is good. Search
every cow all over at least twice a. week
and you will soon destroy all the ticks
thus and rid your pasture of the pests.
Moon Blindness.
John L. Tucker. Catherine. Ala. I have
a mare seven years old, shipped here from
the w* st sixteen months ago. When here
four months her eyes become watery <or

from change of climate, as it soon passed

Answer—lt is quite probable that your
marc lias what is called "moon blindness''
or periodic ophthalmia, an incurable dis
ease The unfailing characteristic of this
disease Is that it. comes periodically, there
being attacks every month or so apart.
After each attack the *-ye so attack.-*! gets
weaker, until finally it “goes out. ' Some
times both eye” are affected al th*- same
time, at other times first one eye and then
til** other is attacked, th** attacks last.ng
a week or ten days By careful attention
from the beginning of tin- first ati.n’k much
can be done to alleviate the pain .md "put
off the evil day” of tot il blindn->ss. When
the attack *-omes *m pm Hi.- anim.il in a.
moderately dark place ami bathe the e>’.-s
with cold water for ten or fifteen, minutes.
Then use as an eye wash tern grains of ace
tate of le-ad, ten drops of laudanum, one
and one-half ounces of water. Bathe a”
above and follow with th*- * ye wash about
three times a. day. Also give one dram ot
ioibile of potassium twice a. day for ton*
days in a bran mash.
A Solid Cow’s Horn.
Thomas .Lane Villa Ui«.i, G-a.. sends us
by rn ill a small cow’s horn, apparently
' from the Iv-ad of a yearling or compara
tively small animal. The horn has been
sawed in two in two places, showing that
the ]»itii or core is completely tilled up with
solid matter. Mr. Lan*- does not write any
thing t » indicate liis purpose in s<miling the
horn, but we presume it was sent for the
purpose of proving that a. cow s bora is not
naturally hollow, but solid. But we replx.
i "one swallow does not make i spring.

Nut Grass, To Destroy It.

have made a study of th< nut grass ques

, have discover’d .1 plan to cxtermim :e the

which 1 tliiuk tile most fe.-i :
to eheck this enemy of the farmer. I had
tw*. acres of rich land terribly infested
with sat grass. 1 fen* i d it off and plowed
It np in January, sowing it in oats; tlie
1 ' cold snaps in January killed all nuts • x
posed to the surface. After gathering tin?
oats I plowed it up again. I then pastured
my hogs on it until fall. 1 followed this
plan for three years and almost di.s: royr-d
the evil. I moved away from that pin* e to
an adjoining county and found the same
enemx' here, mostly in my garden. I failed
1 to make .a garden for two years, so last
August I pioW’al it ill* and put nix hogs on

Three-Tail Sheep.
1 ; .Mr. E D. Burgess, Arkana, La., has a
1 sneep of the ordinary breed that is the
pron*j possessor of three tails and wishes
i to know if such an occurrence is common.
Wo answer that we do not remember such

of three tails was an important high grade
disgnitar.x but these were horse tails at
i Imhed, pend.int, to the banners that were
carried before them in processions.

i vise me to put on it?
Answer- To go back a little farther we
i would under-drain that land thoroughly to
, the depth of thirty to thirty-six inches
; j You can then p’ant anything you please on
I it and eventually have a. very valuable

• noligh to destroy the lice, lint the difllculty
is that Hie most effective insi-ct’icides would
also injure, destroy or poison the cabbage
itself. Tito most effective treatment Is in
tlie nature of a preventive, and consists i.n
thorough preparation, high manuring and
rapid und thorough cultivation. These meas
ures will insure such rapid ami vigorous
growth that the injury from the lice will
not be serious, and this lias been my re
liance for years.
Perhaps the best remedy when the lice
have taken possession. Is thoroughly spray
ing the infested plants with soapsuds made
of strong lye soap. ']'),e eonimon ’bought’
soap is made of soda insti ad of potash and
is not so effective, a strong decoction of
tobacco, with a little soap dissolved in it,
is also recommended. Also Persian Insect
Powder, applied with the usinal bellows.
Also hot water not hotter than 160 de
grees—sprayed on Hie plants. Paris green
or lam,lon purple, one ounce to six plants
will Kill the lice; |*nt this Is a. poison and
must not. bi? applied to tin- plant after
heading In gins, of all the above remedies
I have the most faith in the insect powder,
which should be fresh and strong.
Cotton Hulls, Cotton Meal and Ensilage
I wish also to say something about one
special feed which can be found all over
the cotton states, (he value of which as a
urge part of a good ration for fattening
has I’l.n prov.d beyond all dispute, and
that is cottonseed hulls and rneal It Ls

WEEKLY REPORT

Low Temperature, Much Rain, Little
Sunshine Last Week,
INDICATIONS ARE VERY GOOD
Farmers Throughout the State Are
Greatly Encouraged.
MORE SUNSHINE IS PROMISED
The Heavy Rains of the Week Have,
in a Measure, Retarded the
Growth of the Crops.
The weekly review of the crops of the
state issued Tuesday last by J I*-
Marbury, section director in Atlanta,
gives ’an interesting detailed statement of
the situation. For the week ending Monday
there has been a large amount of low tem
perature, lots of rain and very little sun
shine that would encourage the
crops Since the issuing of the bulletin,
however, the sun has come to the rescue
of the crops and the growth has been rapid
in tlie past two days.
While the bulletin shows that the crops
nre not as far advane”’l as it was expected
they would be at this time, it is still xery
encouraging in its tone and will be well re
