RUBBER HORSESHOES.

A New Continuance Which Is Said to
Possess Various Advantages.
Tho proposed substitution OF india
rubber for material in the manufacture
of horseShoes is based upon various
supposed advantages, one of these be-
ing that the former enables a horse to
go easily over all kinds of roads and
rough and slippery ground without
slipping.
The contrivance brought forward
for this purpose is such as to obviate
in one instance the necessity of using
an iron shoe, can be moved momen-
tarily when the horse is not travelling,
and can also be used when the horse is
shod with an iron shoe.
According to this design the shoe
consists of an india-rubber bottom
piece, modelled to fit over or round the
frog and the hoof, with ledge or pro-
jecting rim rising up the front and
around about level where the nails are
clamped, the projection having an edg-
ing under which steel band or other
appliance can be drawn, and nipped
tight to retain the rubber shoe.
The band is connected by studs, which
pass through the heel part of the hoof,
this beng cut away from the inner
side for the purpose, and the stud or
studs may work eccentrically to obtain
the grip or fixing. If the rubber shoe
is used with an iron shoe the frog por-
ton or pad has front plate and two
side wings partially imbedded in it,
the projecting taking under the iron
shoe to fix the rubber shoe in place.
II the rubber shoe be divided or made
thin in the center, swivel or other
bar can be contracted from the rear. to
reduce the width of the pad so that it
enters easily, and also expanded so as
TO fix the rubber shoe in position

SotaI and PrickIY Pear.

The value of sotal as stock food has
often been referred to in these columns.
That it is almost unexceled for cattle
and sheep is now beyond question, but
Mr.. VIM. Landrum has put it to further
use and given it wider scope. For an
experiment he put up two lots of hogs,
one of which he fed on prickly pear and
meal, and the other on prickly pear and
steamed sotal. At the end of six weeks
the difference in condition was so great
ly in favor of the latter feed, that Mr..
Landrum is fully convinced of its value,
and intends to go into the hog-feeding
business extensively. The sotal and
prickly pear cost nothing, but the
gathering where it covers the ground.
This undoubtedly will prove success
in every way where carried on sys'
tematically.-T eras L. S. Journal.

Destroying Cabbage Worms.

There is no way to prevent cabbage
worms except to catch and destroy the
moth that lays the egg. This is well
nigh impossible. The next best thing
is to destroy the worm and nothing
has proved so effectual as pyrethrum
powder which may be had at the drug
stores. 1t should be fresh. Some
have killed the brood of worms by
pouring water at 100 degrees tempera-
ture. This will kill the worm but not
hurt the plant. If it is at a higher
temperature it kills both, if at a lower,
neither. Powdered white hellebore is
another remedy, but should only be
used before the cabbage head, as it is
poisonous. Printing is Unnecessary

Worming Tobacco Plants.

The plants have hardly started their
growth when the worms, developed
from the eggs deposited by the tobac-
co moth, begin their destructive work,
especially in years like the present,
when cold, damp weather prevails
flor this kind of weather is especially
favorable to their developmenD, and
it requires very close inspection of
plants and prompt work to rid the
field of these pests, which take a
great delight in chewing the
slender and delicate stem or stalk Of
the plant, breaking it off just above
the ground, and you will find them
hidden under the leaves or in the
ground near the base of the stalk, and
unless they are ''taken IN hand early
and without mercy, they will do great
damage to your crop-damage that can
not be remedied. II the worming is
done thoroughly and frequently during
the early stages of the growth you will
have little trouble from this source
later on. for the second crop
that comes later and cut

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Spanish Peanut.

1.-THE notable fact of pitching crops
in Georgia this year. said Commits
sioner Henderson, sis the marvellous
increase in the acreage of Spanish pea
nuts. This is a comparatively new
crop in Georgia. 1t has increased every
year for five years. This season many
correspondents report an increase OF
800 per cent. in their counties in the
acreage of Spanish peanuts and large
number report an increase of from 100
to $50 per cent
you regard this as Importantly
II do. 1t means that in two or three
years Georgia will raise every pound
of meat she consumes. The hog and
the Spanish peanut go together. have
raised 125 bushels on a single acre,
and the very poorest land gave me from
so to 100 bushels per acre. The hog
is very fond of the peanut, and it is
fattening food. A farmer can get
four times as much meat-producing
food from an acre in peanuts as he can
from an acre in corn. He can turn a
drove of fifty or 100 hogs in a field and
let them root the peanuts up until they
are fattened and ready to KILL and
he will find next season an abundant
crop of peanuts from the same field
without replanting."
Cant the peanuts be grown as peas
are grown, in a cornield?"
"Of course. An ordinary farmer may
raise from fifteen to twenty acres, and
by planting peanuts on land that will
not grow any thing else, and by drop
ping them with his corn in the corn
field, can raise and fatten on
peanuts, without a dollars ex-
ira cost, every pound OF
meat that he needs for his farm. The
plant of the peanut makes splendid
forage, and rich and nutritious hay.
You will see next year, as u suit OF
the vastly increased acreage in pea
nuts, a marked increase in home-raised
meat, and | believe in three years
Georgia will raise more bacon than
she can consume
"What does the department consider
the best hog for the Georgia farmP"
"On my own plantation | always
thought the Essex was the best hog,
butt am of the opinion that, for gener.
al use, the Berkshire is as good or bet.
ter. The Essex or Berkshire boar
crossed on our native sows, makes 9
handsome and hearty hog. Georgia
will save millions of dollars when she
raises her own meats, and the peanut
leads the way to the pig"
what are the farmers doing this
year,"
"They are using $4,000 tons o
guano against 1926 for the bigges
year heretofore. This is an increase
