“WORST SPRING I EVER SAW.’
Doubtless the above words have pro
cv-'iled from the months of si-v.Till linn
-irt-.i thousand-, of folk's during the last
month. Well, it certainly bis be. n bad
on farmers in the matters of excessive
rainfall, unusual cloudiness and unsea
sonably 1.,w temperatures lint it might
have been much worse, espe-lilly as to
Temp- i 11 ui <r It might hive b- ■ u worse
bv being unseasonably dry during the
month of Apri' and up to tins date (14th)
in May But it has b- • n neither. The
truth is. \ve \-r\ quickly forget the
weather of tin- past. We look a llttb
way into the past and soon forget what
manner of weather we had Just as we
Oi easionally look into a -'glass” and then
forget what manner of nu'ti was then
ri tiecteil. Let ns 5... have had no
untimely killing frost nr fr-eze since
the serious (almost total) shock to the
p< ach crop. We have had no widosori u'l.

and only an oevasionaj tornado. I han

DO COWPEAS INJ I RE CORN?
To G. A. R 8.. Sulphur Springs Ga.—
1 answered a similar question a month,
or so ago and expressed the de. id'.-d con
viction that cowpeas planted in corn do
certainly injure the corn to som. ext. nt.
especially- when planted at the s-vond
p ..wing of the corn. But the y.. Id of
peas and peavine doubtless much more
than compensates for the small injury
to the corn. Every time you plow your
corn or your cotton after these plants at
tain some size yon necessarily destroy
sa me of the roots and to that extent in
jure the corn or cotiton. But the direct
benefits that follow the plowing far more
than compensate for the injury inflicted
by cutting some of the roots.
MI’LBERRY TREES FOR SILK
WORMS
J. M. A . Shellman. Ga. f want to
know if the mulberry tro - I see about
old settled places that don’t 1.-ar any
fruit but have lots of leaves and the
roots run long, deep and are very hard
to kill, are the kind that are used for
silk worms, -r do you think that they
are only for shade?
Answer The tree to which you refer
is the broiissonetia napyrifera, or “'pi
per mulberry.” It belongs to th- same
family with mulberries, but is not itself a
true mulberry. The female trees of the
••paper mulberry” (of which there are
but few in this country), however, doos
bear a kind of fruit somewhat like that
of the mulberry The kind of mulberry
preferred for silk worm culture is the

SOWING COWPE-XS AND JOHNSON
GRASS.
J. W. Tuskegee, Ala.- Will he glad
for any information you max’ b»- able
to give me eoneei ning. the following: I
have some land sowed in oaits that I
want to plant in p- as for hay. It is sandy
land, makes one-half bale of ■ ntton p< r
acre, with 250 .pouftls of fertilizer. Will
ir bo best to sow broadcast or In drill?
I have some bottom land 1 wish to
sow in Johnson grass. I notice you
recommend to sow in March. My land
Is generally so wot then T cannot
plow it. Will it do to sow it any other
time? If so. when Is the best time?
The ’and overflows in winter. Will ft
injure the grass?
Answer If the land bo turned over
after oat harvest and sowed in .? foot
rows and the p<*as plowed about twice
there will be a larger yield of pets <>r
of po.avinps and a sax Ing of two-thirds
of the seeding p- .is. Rut If sown brc»a<i
cr.st (after turning under the oat stub
ble) the yidd of peavin-s and grass com
bined will Im- somewhat greater than the.
i yield of poavines alone in the* fir. t case.
! The direction to sow Johnson grass
I seed in Mai ch is subject to tin same
I modification as in the ease of corn.
I Rand too wet to (plant in coni in March
! may b< plant'd in April, <»r even Max;
so with Johnson gra-s. Yau may ala
sow the Johnson grass in September if
the ground be in a suffh icntl ' moist c >n
dilion to cause them to come up, so that
the young plants max !»• come xx- II - -
tablished before severe wither. Young
plants not Well ro<»(cd are liabS to be

LAIL Bl'G I.AHVAE. LIFE AND
BLIGHT OF OATS.
F L. Tatum, Brooklyn. Ala—lnclosed
lo t'with you will find diagnosis and
treatment of the -'oat disease.” Hope
that -poeim a ■ will re n d you in good
shape. I am. not bugologist enough to
give you th- H.irn, - I this insect, but.
after wat'-hiug and studying it for sev-
• i.-il dar- I mi prott' sori that this Is
the cause of th. disca.-e in the oats. The
Insect enemy was accidentally discov
ered this morning. Yesterday 1 gathered
a fine lot of specimens in all stages of
development to send you, and among
them I put three or four of the little
striped bugs which I found all about
among the oats and which were strang
ers to nt-, and thought that f would ask
you what they were. Imagine my sur
prise when I opened the box this morn
ing to find that all of my specimens had
disappeared. I gathered more specimens
and put them fn the box with the bugs,
and they went for them like a lot of
venomous hogs, and in a few moments
devoured the whole lot. I have since
boon watching them in tho patch when
they were carrying on their work of
destruction In fine shape.
Answer—Tn the Weekly of April fi ’
replied to a similar Inquiry inclosing some
of tho same "bugs” and also some of tho
lice, as fallows:
“The box when opened contained ono
‘bug’ and no lice, tho bug having carried
on his daily avocation of killing and
eating plant lice until all wore destroyed,
and it then perished for the want of more
lice. The bug Is a larvae of one of the
several species of lady-bugs which feed
almost exclusively on plant Hee, and are
therefore friends of tho farmer and not
enemies. Wherever plant lice are found
as a rule there will be observed ants,
which arc warm and interested friends of
tho lice, and lady-bugs and their larvae,
whose constant occupation Is to 'slay and
eat' the lice.
"While it Is true that wheat lice some
times attack wheat, oats and rye. I do
not think they' are the cause of the in
jury of which you complain. 1 have o-its
that are badly injured by some kind of
blight which causes the blades to turn
Hood red. But there are no lice present.
The <-i|nplaint seems very wide extend
ed. but particularly in South Carolina."
Pr. babl.v you overlooked the above or
did not connect It with your personal ob
cer< itfons. 1 think you are altogether in
error In attributing the blight that is so
prevalent in the oats tn tho lady bug
larvae, or t > Iho Hoe. The larvae of the
lady bug live on II alone, and the Hee
are rarely present In sufficient numbers
to do serious Injury to uuill grain
thanks to tii-' lady-bug larvae
REMEDY FOR CHICKEN EATING
HOGS.
‘'Jennie” Tattnall County, Ga Will
Some one please give mo a remedy for
hogs catching chickens'.’ I have a tine
brood sow and hale to do away witli Iler.
She is fed well .very night and when
she is turned out in the morning she
bunts up m\ biddies and catches -'ll of
them she can.
Answer A lu>g lias no moral qualities
and no - ptiou of the difference be
tween right ami wrong especially in the
matter of eating Nor has a two or
three-year-old child The most obvious
remedy is to keep the sow and the
chick'ns In separate encl..surcs, so that
the sow cannot g.'t to tho < hlckens m>r
tile chickens to t Iu- sow. Just as you
would put something that you would not
wish a child to have out of reach, etc.
1 have had success in side lining a "in.an
old sow” (that's what you <alj her. isn't
it?) i. e.. tie two legs on one side together
with a stout cord or leather thong, tying
just below the ankle joint, so as to keep
th<; feet about as close as when the
animal is standing still. Hut the best
plan is the one first suggested.
FORM I LA FOR COWPE A?
L. J Met !ombs Re J Ba nk <, Mi
Will you be so kind as to give a formula
for cowpea fertilizer'.' I am going to
plant some in drills on land that was in
cotton Inst year. I have the cotton seed
meal, but do not know wli.it to mix
with it and how much to the acre. I
enclose stamp for answer, as I wish to
order (lie other chemicals riglr away.
Answer 1 recommend the following
formula for a fertilizer tor cowpea
Acid phosphate l.oo" pounds; muriate of
potash lOOpounds. Tills will ana-vze about
as follows: Available 12.75 per cent; pot
ash 415 per cent. On heavv clay soils,
you might safely reduce the potash by
one-half, and on very sandy, plney wood
soils it might be well to Increase by
one-half. Yon should not apply cotton
s<<d meal to c.iwpeas. as (lie meal sup
plies nitrogen almost <x.-lusively. which
Is m el-ment that the < owpea can gather
tor itself from the atmosphere.

ANTHRAX OF COW.
F. A. Anderson, Raleigh. Miss, please
tell me through your paper whit ails my
COW and the remedy. She was taken
about a week ago with a swelling under
her throat. We run a lint spindle
through it and it run yellow water
Then it st .-moil to go to other parts of
her body. She seems to be weak in her
loins. She will not cat; bowels costive,
and now she is running at the mouth
and nose like a horse with distemper.
Answer flic symptoms a.s given by yon
answer fairly well to those of tho dis
ease known as anthrax, which usually
results fatally, and there Is n i reliable
curt' for it. Protective inoculation of the
cattle that have been exposed to the
disease, or have pastured on tho same
lands, is about all that can be done.
The carcases of animals that may have
died of the disease should be buried
beyond tho read) of dogs ami buzzards,
or burned.
ELECTRIC SiltK'K OF Ml I.E.
,1. A. Croom, Cline. Ark. On tho 7th of
/April lightning struck a barb wire that,
was on top of my lot feme ami knocked
one of my mules lifeless for awhile, but
in forty eight hours he was aide to work
and 1 did not notice any weakness until
about ten days ago. In his loins, and
yesterday lie fol! in the wagon and had to
be turned to get. him up; but after he
gets straight he seems as stout as ever.
He is in good shape and eats heartily.
What can I do for him? I saturated his
loins this morning with turpentine. When
( first noticed his weakness 1 thought
ho had been ridden liy some one and
too heavily freighted. Give mo your
opinion and remedy at your earliest con
venience.
Answer- It is somewhat doubtful
whether the present condition of your
mule is due to the electric shock, except
ing indirectly. It may be due to falling
or some subsequent hurt whereby the
spine was injured. In either ease the
treatment would be the same. The tur
pentine was all right, but not sufficient.
Give twice a day one dram of powdered
mix vomica until twitching of some of

————• WIILIAM escue.
'' ji yv II Y>id von ever think that, a hone in his natural state
1 1 was a wild animal loving freedom and taking violent ex
'—' ’ "*^Ak ercise? Years ago horses ran wild in droves of tens of
VJ thousands, but today by far the larger number of hones
are penned up in stables and never get a chance to roam
abont in freedom. A free horse can care for himself with reasonable shelter
but a horse confined in stables without proper care will quickly run down.
With no green feed, constipation, liver and digestive troubles set in. The
animal becomes hidebound, droopy, stiff-jointed and is classed as a “plug
when he should bo in his prime. This can be avoided by giving animals an
occasional dose of
BUCHMMBTS.IIEMCinE
in their food. This great medicine keeps the animals’ bowels regular and stirs
up the torpid liver. If your horse or mule has bard, dry droppings give him
Black-Draught to free the constipated bowels This will brighten him up and
cure "hidebound'', itoften enables the animal to do twice the work on the same
food. Black-Draught. Stock Medicine will make a horse or mule sleek, glossy
and fat.
