ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES.
Commissioner Nesbitt Answers a Nuns*
ber of Questions.
Question 1,—I notice that you advise
farmers, In mixing fertilizers at home,
to avoid putting together Ingredients
that Please act give injuriously few hints on each guide othoi la
me a as a
home mixing.
Alls web 1.— The following are some
of the (pain points:
Potash salts oan be be mixed with all
fertilizers, but if large amounts are
mlx<5d with some mineral manures, as
floats, the mixture may oake, If allowed
to stand too long. This can be avoided
by adding a small quantity of woods
earth, muck or sawdust when the mix¬
ture Is made, Aoid phosphates should
not be rnlxod with lime, marl, ashes,
floats, bone meal or anything that con¬
tains carbonate of lime or oaustlo lime.
Ammonia salts, or organio nitrogen
compounds, as blood, tankage or fish
should not be mixed with caustic sub¬
stances, suoh as building lime or wood
ashes. Nor is it well, unless wo wish
to hasten decomposition, to mix theao
nitrogen compounds With carbonate of
lima, floats or marl If We wish to oom-
post those substance* together, we
should oover the heaps with woods
©artb, which will prevent the escape of
the ammonia.
Acid phosphataa oan be mixed with
organic matter and are especially fitted
for preventing the loss of ammonia In
compost heaps, unless the heaps con¬
tain a large quantity of llme,when they
•hohld not be used. y ’
Nftrate 61 soda can be mixed with all
other materials, but when mixed with
highly dissolved phosphates and nit¬
rates and organic matter, the mixture
should be kept dry, or loss of nitrogen
will ocoue.
la composting, it Is ef the greatest
importance that the ammonia does not
escape. Acid phosphates, as mentioned
above, help to oonaeyve the ammogi*.
The compost heaps should be kept cov¬
ered with earth and under shelter.
Large amounts of potash salts mixed
with compost are desirable only where
decomposition la to be retarded.
Nitrogen is the most costly element
ef plant food, and to its injudicious and
extravagant upe oan be traced much of
the loss from the use of fortillzora By
planting clover and peas, whioh have
the power of absorbing nitrogen from
the air, the expense may be mnoh re¬
duced.
Phoephorio aoid and potash must be
added to oar soils if a full crop is ex¬
pected. It is true that they are present
in all soils, but ere insoluble, and there¬
fore unavailable. Small quantities on¬
ly are dissolved by the soil water and
plant acids.
It is best to apply both phosphoric
•old and potash soruo time before a crop
is planted. As there Is little danger
from leashing, they should be plowed
under. Sandy and limestone soils
nearly always need potash. Clay soils
sometimes, but not always, contain a
sufficient quantity. This oan only be
determined by experiment.
Kainit is the proper form of potash for
•andy soils, muriate and sulphate of
potash for stiff soils. Potash Is espe¬
cially valuable for fruits and vegetables
of all kinds, tobacco and potatoes.
Nitrogen should be applied at the
time most needed by the plants during
the growing season as a top dressing,
otherwise U will leach out with the soil
water.
Qubstkw a.—What Is the proper
treatment for “hollow horn?"
Answer 8. ^-Thte is m much ml&an-
deretood subject. The old plan of bor¬
ing the horns and pouring in turpen¬
tine should not be thought of. Ex-
axfiiao the animal for other derange¬
ments of the system. The horn Is to a
oertaln extent naturally hollow, and
this is no indioatiou of disease. An ex¬
perienced oafrtleman says that ths
tongue Is the seat of the disease, and tn
nine oases out of ten, when an animal
i 8 gupposed to bo suffering from “hoi-
low horn,” if the tongue is pulled out
over tho under Up it will be found to be
filled With little black heads and flesh
worms, which will rise above the aur-
face. Take • dull knife and scrape
these off gently, then put on salt and
blaok pepper, mixed, this will bring up
the saliva, and in a few hours the trou¬
ble will be over. He says he has never
known the remedy to fail Of course
the animal's head must be secured to &
tree or post before it can be treated. A
great many cattle owners advocate de¬
horning, not to prevent "hollow horn,”
but to reduce the number of injuries
from goring among the herds, as well
as to Mie persona having charge of
them.' #
Question 8. — Would you advise the
Bowing of a third crop of oats *»t this
season, the first two plantings having
been killed by the cold weather?
Answer 8. —We answer unequivo¬
cally yes, even as late as the middle of
M»rch. But there are several points to
hp considered fend net In &• lfite epw-
^ ldga, which do not apply with equal
force to the fall apA ©ariler tyring
crops. In the first plaoo, a quickly n»ft-
tnring seed should be selected, the land
should be good, the preparations and
manuring thorough, the seeding heavy.
The Importance of eaoh of these points
will be appreciated when we realise
that the plants have only a short Mute
1 q which to develop, or to hunt for
food, and therefore every aid should be
given to hasten and perfect their ma¬
turity. The land In whioh the former
crops wore killed Is, tf It was well pre¬
pared, in splendM condition to receive
the third sowing, which, with the fer¬
tilizer, should be pat In at oaoe-
Question A—In feeding horses, will
the results as a food, pay for outting It
up Instead of feeding B. F. L., It unputf Emm erson.
Answer 4—We are often very dire*
loot 1 b our duty to our work animals,
and thus inour absolute loss. This is
tame not only in regard to providing
proper shelter, but largely in our meth¬
ods of feeding. In the north and woat
almost the universal custom is to feed
out hay, and the small amount of labor
required Is moro than compensated for
by the effect upon the animal. As an
Illustration of this, the experiment sta¬
tion in Utah from the tenth of August
to the twenty-first of Deoember fed, ad
libitum, to two lots of work horses, cut
and uncut hay, reducing the lots in the
middle of the period. The result was
that in the first period the lot fed on
out hay gained 99 pounds, and that on
the uncut 62 pounds) in tho second pe¬
riod the lot on cot hay gained 75 pounds
and that on unoat lost five pounds. At
no time in our hlBtory has thq study
and adoption ef proper methods been
more imperative. Let us adopt every
detail of farm economy that husbands
the strength of our farm animals, or
improves the condition of our «oll.

HOME FERTILIZERS,
®h» Formula for Mixing e« Olren by the
Georgia State Oherolti-
It has always been the polioy of the
department to encourage the purchase
«f fertilizer material and mixing at
home. By this polioy not only does the
farmer make a fertilizer adapted to his
soil, if, aa he should, ho studios Its
needs, but also develops the eoonomy of
oarefully saving the manure of the
farm.
Compelled to save in every quarter,
if we wish even comparative euocosA,
let all endeavor to adopt the least ex¬
pensive method of fertilizing and im¬
proving this land. In this oonneotlon,
the following reply by Dr. George P.
Payne, the °tate chemist, to. an Inquiry
for formula and as to the cost of mate¬
rial, will-bo found of Interest!
Farmers oan save money by dabbing
together and buying acid phosphate in
bulk for cash and making their own
fertilizers. It is difficult to farm suc¬
cessfully In most sootlons of Georgia
without the uso of fertilizers, but it Is
all important to secure the best fertil¬
izers at as close figures as possible.
Aoid phosphate can now be bought In
bulk for cash at $8 50 a ton. Cottonseed
meal oan now be bought In bulk for
cash at $15.00 a ton. Muriate of pot¬
ash con now bo bonght tn 12 ton lots
for cash at $42.00 a ton.
At theso figures the materials for an
average fertilizer of tho market will be:
1,400 pounds acid phosphate (contain¬
ing 14 per cent available phosphoric
add) at $8.50 a ton, $5.95.
620 pounds oottonseed meal (contain¬
ing nitrogren equivalent to 8 1-2 per
oent ammonia) at $16.00 a tou, $8.90.
80 pounds muriate of potash (contain¬
ing 61 1-8 per oent of potash) at $43.00 a
ton, $1.68.
Making a total of 8,000 pounds at a
cost of $11.80, containing the following
percentage of plant food per ton:
Available phosphoric acid, 9.80 per
oent
Ammonia, 8.21 per cent
Potash, 8.08 per cent
If jfon desire a full strength goods,
•he following formula will prove satis¬
factory, being made of the materials
you wish to use:
Add phosphate, 1,800 .pounds, cost
about $7.80, 9.40 per cent available
phosphoric acid. Nltrato of soda, 260
pounds, cost about $3.00, equivalent to
8.87 per oent ammonia. K&lnit, 800
pounds, cost about $1.80, 1.80 per oent
potash. Mix marl or rotten loaves, 260
pounds. Total pounds, 8,000. Total
cost, $14.60.
If you wish a oheaper fertilizer add
more of the last Ingredient. If you do-
siro a stronger one leave out the last
Ingredient Muriate of potash la a
more concentrated form of potash than
kaiuit and costs loss for freight and for
the aotual potash oent In it of potash, Kalni t con- and
tains about 12 per
muriate about 50 per oent.
To estimate the full cost, tho freight
on tho acid phosphate and muriate of
potash should be added to this, (the
freight will vary according to the longtb
of the haul) and also tho labor required
to mix the fertilizer.
The mixing is best done by spread¬
ing out tne materials in lay era
on top of eaoh other and cutting
through the layers with a hoe and mix¬
ing aa the compound is ent down.
The use of a bricklayer’s sand soreen
enables one local to make a better mixture.
