I do not know | of any direct cure for tbi? difficulty. If you wish to plant It in cotton you may add a fertilizer containing nothing but acid, which would tend to develop fruix rather than "weed.” But my belief is that the land is not in condition to plant cotton, and should , 1 bo devoted to Indian corn, oats, grass, tor lr- 1 i stance o cr op ot sorghum or tome other crop ; that requivt s a very rich, hh-;l?iy nitrogenous soil. I believe lend can be made too rich for profitable cotton product lor. I will suggest I that If you plant It in cotton, that you use f nothing but acid phosphate, say 300 to 500 . pounds per acre, and that yon select an early variety of cotton, such as King’s Improved, ; or some other variety of that type. —— SOD GRASS FCH ORCHARD.

DECEMBER 28, 1903. I have it very well drained with open ditches, and have it arranged so that no water stands On it or runs on it except what falls on the land. I cultivate ub is usually done by the average fanner. I run a center furrow, put In the fertilizer and bed on it, and then work to keep it clean. I don’t break very deep—only one mulu to the plow—the land be ing very soft and no clay subsoil. This piece of land has been cleared about forty years. I suppose. If you will answer and give me In formation desired through the great Farm and Farmers department you will confer a great favor on an old subscriber and ar. admirer of the F. and F. department. Answer—-Since you do not at ata that you have ever applied any ferti Izer to the land In question tliat contained potash, the sug gestion occurs that potash Is needed. Suppose you try (for corn) formula No. I, so often published in this department, ae folio wh: FORMULA NO. I—FOR CORN. Acid phosphate (14 per cent).. .. ..1,000 lbs. Muriate ot’ potash 30 ” Cotton seed meal 1.250 2,280 ” Th* above Is the regular com formula for i ordinary uplands. It would bo well to In i crease the muriate to 50 pounds and reduce . the cotton seed meal tn 1,000 pounds. For cotton, use the following? FORMFLA NO. 2—TOR COTTON 1 Add phosphate • 14 re;* cent)l,ooo lbs. Muriate of jiotash 7’5 i Cotton seel meal 700 L 775 - The above If aJso the rr.gulsr formula for ; ! cotton on old uplands. You might modify 1’ j J by increasing the muriate to 100 pounds and ■ ■ reducing the cotton seed meal to 500 pounds . |ln either oa«e. If kaintt bo more c< ir enh’.'t, j I you might substitute it for the muriate c-f , potash, using 4 pounda of kainit for each ; , jx>nnd of murta-t* in the formula. i The above are only auggrstions--based on your exjperlments. You should never use j sound cotton directly ns a manure, If you > can exchange them on fair terms for meal, I say 1,200 to 1,400 pounds of meai for each ton. of seed, ’ c V?aLVES” TN CCAV'S BACK.

Wheat, rye and crimson clover are beneficial to the soil to the extent to which they s-tvo to cover the surface, and It is even better to leave the stubble on the fields than to plow the lan i in the fall without seeding down to it crop. This Is thn month when crimson < 1-tv r should he sown. Whether It proves •f value In the spring or not it will bo useful on the land, and especially If Hme Is applied. Later on rye may be seeded If wheat is not deshed. Tne object should be tn cover the land as a protection from loss, as the roots of tho -plants serve to arreet the waste of | plant food. Instances are known of cow 1 ;■ as b*-hiir sown broadcast as late as August, | they making rapid growth until the oppear ‘ nnce of frost, being then rolled down with ■ a land roller, to remain until spring, when i they can be plowed under as a preparatory * crop for corn. On*' of the best winter cov- erings ie a heavy crop of turnips, the seed nr-.,*?.least ajjd the crop plowed under In the spring. There I 3 also loss of fertility In the barn yard, as there is a. wide range of values in manure, and no estimate *f loss can be ni rdu by judging from the bulk of the mate rials. There is an intrinsic value even to manure, and a.ny adulterations will become a.rparent when the manure Is applied to the land. Nutritious food not only promotes greater produ- ti->n on the part of the anl 'r.als. hut Increas s the value of the manure correspondingly. A t-ui of c -tton seed meal .•O'ttains 185 juun-is .f nitrogen. 30 pounds •'f phosphoric aclu an 1 54 pounds of potash. It i.s u-x-d by some farmers as a. fertilizer, b<*lng applied to tho s<hl direct, but there are • >me subrtance; tn the >tton seed meal which ar-j wjrihtess on the Lind, but valuable when fed to animals, euch as star- h and fat. It is profitable, therefor-, to feed the cotton in* .-tl and i-;tvo the manure. A.l the food l i ’-.anu 4 whil* parsing through the body cf the animal, it enters the manue heap in a condition which renders it more liable to L’.*s, and the loss always occurs unless the farmer u«es means fop pre*venting such. The motit important duty when one has manure is to pr "S.‘r.-e Its \ hue a id derive it the most benefit to he obtained. There are yerlo L when It pays the farmer to buy concenirated feod?, even wh-n ho ■ lias a sntfl’dency of grain, aa he will increase j the fertility c.f his soil by an exchange. This I’ may be demonstrated i-y selling corn and buying bran or cotton seed meal. Apparently it may bo use.-for the farmer to buy bran when he has an abundance of grain, bra - ! mineral matter as corn fphosphates, potash, : etc.), the farmer gains by the transacti on, 1 as ho enriches his soil but little from the i < ;rn, ns compared with the bran, and for that reason all foo-.D used should be -•. ••.mated . -rtly for their x*alue after passing through, the an'.’-’al*.

In the season of 40 weeks. A herd of 10 cows would yield S6O more In that time If tho separator was used, which would soon repay its cost, besides the advantage of less labor in caring for It and that, even greater, of having tho skim milk perfectly fresh for feeding to calves and xiies.

WARM FARM Bt’IWIN’GS. “The Importance of protecting all kln-is of ’ farm stock from cold weather, and morw from cold winds and storms, can > s« a.rcely be overestimated,” senelbly advises the American Cultivator. “The worst time for them is In the winter nlg-hts when they nr* lyins? dotvn.

It Is cheaper to give extra, amounts of corn, cornmeal, cotton' , fieod or linseed meal than to allow the fat to be taken out of the milk or from the. body. , “Boards and other means of keeping col-.i out are. however, cheaper than hay or grain. , : To attempt to keep the heat In a building ! up to a comfortable temperature when there are cracks in the sides and broken down wtn- , dows which admit th** cold air.

There are many "mad stones" In this country, and .lie believ< s in their efficacy always know where *he nearest one Is kept. In a sense these jHtroiis stones are public institutions. Some of them have curious histories. j t hie Was the property ot an Or.io negio named Depp, ami on his death was placed In the state library at Columbus, from Which, according to reports, it w a recently taken and applied to the wound of a woman bitten by a supposedly rabid dog. The same report stated that the d-’g was not mad. after all, but that the woman receivr-.l blood poison ti'Otn the stone and died. The stone's career of healing should be ended by now. A Virginia newspap -r recalls that an other “madstone’’ was kept at the state penitentiary for many years and .va ; . tree tor the use of any person who want ed it appiieti to ' l bi' ' (,r ot.-i'-r wound, latter a “madstone." wbicli may perhaps have been the same specimen, was sold at auction tn the country for 539. Perhaps the stone having the most rc- j markabk history is in St. Louis, and «ne of its 'cures’’ has recently been exploited ; in the newspapers. It was brought to this country 1367 by a Russian phy sician who settled in Nevada. He said that the stone had been used in Russia for 15 years, in proof of which fact he ; submitted document? written on parch- ; ment in Russian, which the people in ; Nevada had to take on faith, as they i could not read the. language. He offered ; ■the stone for sale at. $1,500. and a farmer who hod seen a similar stone elsewhere | and had faith In it agitated the formation j of a stock company to buy the stone. 1 About a thousand stockholders paid $1 , I eaeh and the remaining sum necess r-. j was contributed by the present owtie* I The stone was used on all the animals ! and most persons that were bitien ; dogs.
