my experience in regard to late blowing in cotton

each side with Planet, Jr., cultvator, and when
tie row seemed to be too fat passed sweep in the

year was rather wet one. | finished laying by
with side harrow, to which had blade or shear
attached about six inches in the rear of the teeth
made of an old cross-cut saw and very sharp By
passing the side harrow the shears would follow and
shave all the grass, tie vines, etc, leaving the rows
perfectly clean and not disturbing the roots of the
cotton, as it would cut only about one inch deep.
With turning pillow the bottom limbs which are on
the ground would have their ends covered destroy
ing almost all the bolls and forms on said limbs and
heating the limb to such an extent as to cause all
the forms or squares on said bottom limbs to drop
Off; and by careful investigation one would be
Gstonished to find in patch of ten acres of cotton

or three weeks in the pasture He is in good order

Without personal examination could not say
what caused deafness. Coming on as suddenly
as II did, we should suspect some pressure upon
the nerve of the ear If SO, it is likely to pass
away. Have you examined his ears to see if
anything has gotten into them? Sometimes a
tick causes the ear to swell to such degree as to
affect the hearing. Let us hear how the matter
ends.

II. +. G., Griffin. Ga: There has been a great deal
OF talk and complaint about grated and ludded
frut trees. Suppose we were to go into the field
now and gather roasting ears and save them for
seed, or any other kind Of seed in the same stage
could we expect TO have much to harvest? This is
the way the fruit business is now run Nurserymen
go to the canning and evap)rating establishments
and get their seel, and thousands of them are in
about the stage Of roasting cars. | think peaches
should be well ripe to plant the seed to graft
or bud TO- Let us hear from DR.. Jones on the sub.
ject
Strong healthy seedlings upon which to
graft and bud are very desirable, and as our
correspondent suggests, these are not to be had
from the seeds Of half-ripe fruit How far the
practice he condemns is now carried on we are
unable to say. But seed should DO taken from
strong, healthy trees, and from we'll ripened
fruit from such trees. When every point ia
guarded, however, there is one source of weak
ness in grated and budded fruit which cannot
be circumvented. The finer fruits are not
found in nature; they are deviations from the
natural types, brought about usually through
cultivation and domestication. And, as a rule,
the farther plant is removed from its natural
type the more delicate it becomes. The matter
stands thus: poor fruit with hardness on the
one side, fine fruit with delicacy of constitu-
ton on the other.

A one-horse roller should not be ever three

just in front of roller, and put braces between
this crosspiece and the front of frame. Now
fasten a pair of shafts to front of Frame and
the roller is ready for use. A seat NAV be
made with four supports resting on tho frame

driver may sit, or on which rocks or other
weights may be placed, if the roller is not
