To Improve land.
Tlie value of cow peas in improv
ing land is not known as well as it
should be, nnd we will give the results
of some experiments made between the
years 1845 and 1850. We have some pa
pers published in those times, and in
looking over some from mere curiosi
ty we saw the results of some experi
ments in pea fallows to improve land
greatly run down by long cultivation
The account is given in an old paper
railed The Maryland Farmer. W'
make short work of the statement as
follows. One of the statements was
in reference to an experiment made in
Nortli Carolina. A Held, containing
75 acres, nearly worn out by cultiva
tion in corn and cotton, was sown in
peas and left to rot upon the surface.
Tiie following year, it was sown in
peas again, witli plaster, (gypsum)
and the peas wore gathered, turn
ing out 1050 bushels. Another Held
of ‘,’7 acres without gypsum yielded
400 bushels, and with gypsum the suc
ceeding year, yielded 750 bushels. A
twenty acre Held, without tlie plaster
yielded 200 bushels. These experi
ments restored the land to its former
fertility besides yielding the profitable
crops of peas. Some of our readers
might test this experiment on a small
scale and would find much profit in it
if tlie result should be such as was
stated by the Maryland Farmer. The
20 acre field alluded to above was also
as the others iu pea fallow the year
before it yielded the 000 bushels.
This is a simple method of restoring
tin* fertility of land and if found sue
cessful in our section would be of
great utility to our farmers. We
know of no other method of enriching
the soil so easily and cheaply and
there is no reason for doubting tlie
statements made iu tlie Muryland
Farmer.
MOUK|AllOUT THK I’KA.
Since writing tlie above, we have
seen tlie following statement by a
Mississippi Planter. “We sowed a
hundred acre corn-field witli the
Crowder pea broadcast at the last
working. In a few weeks tlie whole
of tlie ground was covered with pea
vines waist high, and after gathering
the corn, the whole stock of a large
plantation—horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs - were turned in tlie field, and all
fattened iti a surprisingly short time,
and the bacon from these pea-fed
hogs was as firm and well-flavored as
any we ever saw." It is probable
that the hogs obtained a good deal of
shattered corn which should be taken
into account in reference to the firm
ness and flavor of the meat. We
have seen hogs made very fat by Tun
ing in pea fields, but they were pen
ned and fed on corn, alone, two or
three weeks before being killed.
Ground Peas or Peanuts.
Thirty-five or forty years ago Vir
ginia aiul North Carolina furnished
the principal supply of Ground peas
for the United Stu'es. Large quanti
ties were used in Georgia and even
yet our people get many of the pea
nuts from other sections when they
can he grown to advantage in Geor
gia. We must remember that the
population ot the Union has grown to
about sixty millions and requires a
greater quantity of this article than
ever before. It is discreditable to our
State for the people to be buying those
nuts trom any oilier State and espec
ially foreign countries. A small patch
will make as many as an ordinary
family will use and the cultivators in
Georgia ought to supply the demand
of the people of the State, if not in
part of other sections of the country.
Georgians ought to make what they
want and-get as good prices for them
as those who grow them in any other
section, in this country, or abroad.
Sixty bushels can be raised to the acre
bv care and attention. They grow
best on thin soil with but little fer
tility and require only a little lime as
a fertilizer. The demand is constant
ly on the increase. They ought to be
cheaper. Those who buy a little
ineusuie full from the retail shops pay
at a little over the rate of six dollars a
bushel for them. Many people like
them but back out from such extrav
agant prices.
Dairying.—We are surprised that
the number of dairies are so few in
Georgia. What can pay better? The
consumption of the food token by the
cows, is paid buck in a three fold way
■—in milk, the growth of stock and the
manure; which last often balances the
first cost of the food. It is in that re
spect that stock-rasing is superior to
exclusive grain growing.
Southern Cultivator.
As ‘W. IV, Milledgeville, Ga., in tin
January Cultivator asks, "Can three I
bales grow on one acre?" I reply ‘yes,’ ,
1 made three bales on one acre last
year, and produced such satisfactory
proof of it usto reoeivethreepremiums
from our State Fair and two premi- 1
unis from the Albany Fertilizer Com- |
pany, aggregate $260.00. The land !
was sandy, with clay subsoil, to which 1
I applied 2,000 pounds of compost ’
(Furman's Formula) and 200 pounds
of Alabama Fertilizer to the acre.— \
One aero produced three bales mid i
fouracreHproduced six arnla half bales, I
while on ten acres 1 made ten bales. |
My bales weighed 500 pounds each. j
Prof. J. 8. Newinan, formerly of 1
Georgia, now of the Alabama Agricul
tural College, anti President of our
State Agricultural Society, visited my
farm and saw the cotton, and witness
ed the weighing of one picking. Any
planter, with ordinary land and com
mon sonse combined with industry,can
make one bale on every acre of land
he plants, with suitable fertilizers
and proper cultivation. The trouble
with the Southern planter is that he
plants too much land and cultivates
it too little. My seed were the im
proved “Jones” variety. I had on
exhibition at the State Fair one stalk
of cotton eight feet high and eight
feet in diameter with 110 open bolls on
it. It was seen and examined by
thousands of visitors, who perceived
that some of the bolls were nearly or
quite as largo as Turkey eggs.
Tlie compost I used was made of
stable manure, cotton seed meal, acid
phosphate and kainit, as 1 prefer the
meal to the seed. The year before I
took five acres of very poor sandy laud
and fed it as I cultivated it, and made
four bales weighing 500 pounds each.
I plant iny cotton in checks and culti
vate exclusively with the plow, except
in bringing it to a stand. It is better
never to permit the hoe in it nt all.
Thin out by hand. It is tlie hoe that
eats up tiie profits of cotton.

That Tired Feeling.
Afflicts nearly every one in the spring.
The system having become accustom
ed to the bracing air of winter, is
weakened by the warm days of the
changing season, and readily yields
to attacks of disease. Hood’s Sarsa
parilla is just the medicine needed.
It tones and builds up every part , of
the body, and also expels all impuri
ties from the blood. Try it this sea
son.
Furman’i Compost.
The Southern Cultivator gives the
following formula for this famous fer
tilizer in the cotton States:
The material of Furman’s coinpost
are barnyard manure, cotton seed,
acid phosphate and kainit. The pro
portions are thirty bushels each of the
first two, 400 pounds of phosphate and
200 pounds of kainit.
These may be alternately mixed ut
first, or put in alternate layers of cot
ton seed, phosphate and kainit and
manure, and so on. Tlie whole to be
moistened, and the mixing, in the lat
ter case, effected by cutting down the
mass from top to bottom. Yon could
add to a heap from time to time, us
ing always the same proportion, but
it is usual to make up all of a given
heap at one time. If the heap is made
in pens, as it should be, with perpen-
dionlar sides and at least four feet
high, and the compost covered on top
with a layer of rich earth six Inches
thick, there is no necessity for a roof,
as rain, unless very excessive, will not
more than keep the mass as moist as
it should be. Tlie compost should be
put np at least three weeks before it
is to be applied; it is usually done six
or eight weeks in advance.
Stranger than Fiction
are the records of some of the cures
of consumption effected by that most
wonderful remedy—Dr. Pierce’s “Gol
den Medical Discovery.” Thousands
of grateful men and women, who
have been snatched almost from the
very jaws of death, can testify that
consumption, in its early stages, is no
longer incurable. The Discovery lias
no equal as a pectoral and alterative,
and the most obstinate alTections of
the throat and lungs yield to its pow
er. All druggists.
It is said by those, who raise cattle
for sale, a very small ration of water,
daily, is better than to allow them to
drink often, but it is best for milch
cows to have water two or ttiree times
a day, never less than twice. Wo
merely state what the keepers of milch
cows say. We know of no reason
why all animals should not drink as
often as they please. Animals at
work should he guarded against
drinking very cold water.
“Now it’s all right, it's all right,
darling,” said Mrs. Worklmrd, 1 have
tested the matter thoroughly. One
bottle of Salvation Oil will cure your
pain in the back, and bnly costs 25
cents. _
No meat is superior to good mutton
and no meat is more saleable. The
danger of dogs in Georgia prevents
the people from raising sheep for
wool, but for meat a few sheep could
he so safely kept as to afford a mod
erate supply at least for domestic use
and occasionally some for sale.
Feeding charcoal to pigs is health
fill, and should Vie practiced by all
who raise their own meat. Charred
corn cobs are good for them and
should be kept in their reach.
We have occasionally seen it stated
that New England experimenters find
that feeding apples to milch cows
has the invariable effect of lessening
the flow of milk. _

Is the fate of every lady with n bright

Makes a Small Profit on all he Sells,

therefore can and will
Sell Goods as Low as Any One!
To mention the articles would be useless, suffice it to say, ho has
nearly all tlie goods usually kept in a First-Class Grocery Store in
