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. C. B. Fkr.rkll. Montgomery, Ala. 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. _ Envied by her £ex, Is the fate of every lady with n bright glowing countenance, which invaria bly follows the use of Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic. ‘ 1836111 SWIFT’S SPECIFIC.il 11886 s s s s s s s s A REMEDY NOT FOE A DAY, BUT FOE half a OENTUBY “m BELIEVING SUFFERING HUMANITY! s s| s 1 s ss j 1? s s s s s s AN INTERESTING TREATISE ON BLOOD AND SKIN DISEASES SENT MCE TO ALL APPLICANTS.
