New York for many ' •.-.:rs, in his admirable book "The I'er- I ility of th- I.'-’.d,'’ writes as follows ( "While sub--oiling may clearly assist ' b. a .'.v’lward pa-sage O! water, th. t ■xp. use is so great, and the work has I , a.- so :>. .p.ently repeated that it i ■as nearly gone out of practice.

By this, I prisutne In- means tlio practi cal th hi t st This 1 did. and upon the results of this practical field test, often r I. I based the remarks made In my essay at Clemson college.

I used to think so anti trieel thirty-live y.-ars ago to prove its utility." 1 will add that this is not the only in stance in which my preconceived belief, founded on somebody’s theory, or on hoary tradition, has been controverted and elisproven by the results of actual and accurate experiment.

Seeing much of your valuable advice given to farmers in The Constitution I have come to y ”.t for advice. 1 have a piece of land that was in cotton last year. When the cotton was gathered I seeded down in wheat When wheat was harvested I had the land turned with a two-horso plow, harrowed and then drilled in peas, using I’- inislicls per acre nnd 200 pounds 14 per cent a-’id mixed w'th 60 pounds of strong wood ashes. 1 want to follow my pea crop with . wheat again this fall. Would yon advise using guano under the wheat? it so. what kind and how much? 1 want to follow the second crop of wheat with peas again rind will it do to fertilize the peas as much or more another year than I did this? Will want to plant tiiis land in cot ton in 1905, and as cotton does not open, well In this part of North Carolina (Ca tawba county > without manure or fer tilizer uniler it. would like to know what.: kind of fertilizer to use under ft and how much Wil] want to mow my pen-i vfnos tin- latter part of this month. Tit's I land has a. red clay subsoil and by using: 200 pounds of guano to the acre will maki from 500 to 700 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. Answer--! advise that you apply a. good dose of concentrated fertilizer to the wheat, say- as follows; Add phosphate (14 per cent) .. . 200 lbs Muriate of potash 50 lbs. I Cotton seed menl 300 lbs Total 550 lbs. i Ye:: mav profitably apply the whole of the above per ai-ro. Imt if yon prefer you can n due the quantity ns you like.

Fertilize the peas to be sown after: Wheat harvest as tins year oi use 200 pounds of aeid phosphate and 25 pounds. us muriate of potash. In 1905. on cotton,: vmt may apply 200 pounds of acid phos phato. 15 p..muls of muriate and 100 pounds of cotton sbi-d meal, or preferably 50 pet- cent more of each Cotton and small grain are flic crops that may be I safely fertilized liberally.

SOWING BERMUDA GRASS SEED. AV. W. R. Crystal Springs, Miss.—Toil ni<- through your paper when is tiie best time to sow bermuda seed and how much to the acre? Answer—The proper season for sowing bermuda grass seed is in spring atm early summer, probably in —pri!. Prepare tie land by thorough plowing; then har row perfectly smooth and sow the seed at the rate of 5 or 6 pounds per acre. It will ii"i bi necessary to cover them in any way, since the first rain will do that more effectively than can be done with any implement, provided they be sown on a freshly harrowed surface. If bermuda grass be sown in tiie fail tiie young and ti nd'.-r plants will very probably be killed, root and branches, by tiie first severe ft ost. ANTHRA% of coavs It. E. N . Jackson's Gap.

Yellow spots under the skin eiear through the fiesli. Every one I has died that lias taken the disease. ; Answer I have no doubt that the dis ease is anthrax, a (badly and incura ble disease. I base my diagnosis mi the symptoms as described by you, viz. ner vousness. dullness.' the head hanging down, and particularly, the yellow spots under the skin. Later in the disease tiie dullness may give way to great, mt easincss. champing of tiie jaws, spasms of Ihe iirnlis. kicking and pawing. I in visible mucous membrane becomes blu ish.

Tn bulletin No. 30, * containing tho re sults of experiments I'll corn culture made In 1895. tho attention of farmers was especially called to the advantages of lite method of utilizing tho corn stalks for stock food. It is the almost universal I practice in the south to gather and cure the blades, ami harvest tho ears of corn, leaving the entire stalks in tiie field to prove an almost unmitigated nuisance and obstruction in tiie preparation and cultiva tion of the land in the succeeding crop, and winter homes and hibernating re treats lor insects that will be ready to attack such crops, '-specially if it shall lie anoili.-r crop of corn. Farmers have habitually considered this large part ot thu crop as ot no j>ra< tiual value. Ind'-ed, corn-stalks, especially of the large tynes of corn planted in the south, arc ot little available food value because of their me (hanieal condition. I'lv. ti in tli* iior'.li the old method of feeding the stalks (‘sto ver"! without any mechanical prepara- J tion was but. little less wa.stetul al.d slov i only than leaving them in the fields. But the us" of ma< hinery for preparing tiie corn-stalks, shredding them into a coarse hay. is rapidly extending. A numbi r of very effective machines may now be hud at moderate prices, that will convert the hard, flinty stalks Into a soft, easilj ma ticated substance, very similar In me- ■ ohanieal condition to coarse hay, that is I readily—even greedily eaten by horses, ! mules and cattle. . i In bulletin No. 30. • already relerred to, i th" whole subject was discussed at some | length, showing by experiments made, ! and liv analysis that, tiie value o,’ tiie ! naked‘stalks tiiat arc generally left in i tiie field, after harvesting the ears, shucks and blades, amounts to fully onc : sixtli of the total value of the crop. • No longer available. HOG t'HOLERA. (Press Bulletin No. 40, Georgia Experi ment Station.) TREATMENT FOR HOG CHOLERA. There is no certain cure for the disease ■ after ft. once sets Ln, h it there are several medical remedies which will give eonsld ■ . erablo help, curing some of the mildest j cases and aiding in preventing healthy hogs from getting sick by keeping the ■bowels clear and strong-tbening t.he s.,s i tern. The best g"Tn ral remedy for this ■purpose is that recommended after many trials by tile Cnited States government, I whicli is composed as follows: Wood or cob charcoal I lb Sulphur " 2 J' ,s S'iTiitm chloride (common salt'.. ...2 lbs Sodium bicarbonate (baiting soda) .2 lbs ■ Sodium hyposulphite "2 lbs Glauber salts I (Or Epsom salts, 2 lbs). Antimony sulphide.. -I lb Pulverize each of the ineTo.dlents well and mix them together thoroughly. The dose is a tabh-spoonfhl for each 200 pounds weight of the hogs, giv”n twice a day in shorts or bran slop feed. Another remedy somewhat, less compli cated, which has been U"eu -with good snc.'. ss by the Indiana experiment sta- ! tion is: I’lorat,. of potash 1 Bi :i.rr>"nate of soda. I *■' Nitrate of potash 2 lbs The dose is the same as tho government formula, a tablespoon fill twice daily in slop feed, with the addition of 5 grains calomel to each does if constipation is present. The government formula can be mixed bv every farmer at home, as most of the ingredients ar*- usually on hand in the house or can be easily bought at any drug store. Tho mixture will not. cost •■' er 10 cents a pound, and it is lully equal if not superior to till the patent hog cholera ' remedies tiiat arc ••onst.nitiy advertise<i and sold at 75 cent:- to $1.50 pe.r pound.

Not only the person \vno contrac s 1 suffers, but the awful taint is transmitted to children, and the fearful sores and eruptions, Aveak eyes, Catarrh, and other evidences of poisoned blood shoAA'these little innocents are suffering the awful consequencesol soi'nc body’s sin. So highly contagions is this form of blood pois-m that one may be contaminated by handling the clothing or other articles in use by a person afflicted Avitii this miserable disease. There is danger even in drink ing from the same vessel or eating out of the same tableware, as many pure and innocent men and Avonien have found to their sorroAv. ohe virus of Contagious Blood Poison is so _ powerful and penetrating that I?

S. S. S. is a specific for Contagious Blood Poison and the only remedy that antidotes this peculiar virus an 1 makes a radical and complete cure of the disease. Mercury and Potash hold it in check so long as the system is under their influence, but when the medicine is left oft the poison breaks out again as bad or worse than eA’er. Besides, the use of these minerals bring on Rheumatism and stomach troubles of the Avorst kind, and frequently pro duce bleeding and sponginess of the gums and decay of the teeth. S. S. S. cures Blood Poison in ail stages and even reaches down to hereditary taints and removes all traces of the poison and saves the victim from the pitiable conse g g B qf quences of this monster scourge. As long as a drop of the virus is left in the blood fl it is liable to break out, and there is danger L of transmitting the disease to others. S. S.
