haul my COTTON seed three miles to crusher for my
wheat land?
3D. Would 1t be advisable TO SOW wheat in my
cotton land, by blowing through the rows and
tfterward apply cotton seed by broadeasting on
surface and leave them there tapplying at lime Of
sowing 200 pounds acid phosphate per acre.?
LIST. No, it would not, unless your wheat was
sown so early that the uncrushed seed would
come up. In such case you would save by
having them crushed.
I'd, No; the cotton seed ought to be piowed
in; there is iberalty OF loss if they are ex-
posed on the surface. The phosphate would
be advantageous TO the wheat, but would not
prevent loss OF valuable gases from the seed.

termed "big-head," cancero us disease of the

its early state, you might try bIistering with
ointment of one drachm of biniodide OF mercury
to eight drachms OF lard. Dress blister result
ing with simple lard. After ten days, repeat.

such affections. 1t is not probable that the
skin trouble has any connection with that in
his leg. But his general condition might be
improved by giving five grains of arsenic, and
each of copperas and gentian, twice week
for some time, and, with improved health,
local trouble may get better

by mineral matter, which is much heavier
Tho texture Of the wood is preserved, but its
matter has been changed.
3D. On the principle of the lever: a small
weight (peal ON long arm will balance heavy
weight on short arm. The rule is, that the
weights multiplied by length of arms shall
give equal products. In a steelyard the dis
lance between the hook by which the steelyard
is suspended, and the hook TO which the
weight is attached, is the length of arm on
which the body is to be weighed is hung; this
is very short compared with the graduated
arm on which the pea is hung, and therefore a
small pea balances heavy body.
