ENGLISH WALNUTs.

Will you please tell US through THE Ga

would do well and be profitable in this Sec
ton and latitude2 Should it be planted as
you recommend for planting Of the pecan; ;
that is. where the trees are to standi Does
it, like the pecan, transplant badlyl How
far apart should the trees be plantedl
Where can the best seed be had2 Will such
as we find in our nut stores answer for
plantingl w. A SELLERS.
Starkville, Miss.
There are some nice English walnut
trees growing in Butler county, Ala, and
your soil conditions and climatic condition
are almost precisely the same as there,
hence we can SEQ no good reason for why
it could not be made to succeed at Stark
vile. OF course ali is mere theory in the
absence of test, but should you get it to
succeed it would certainly be profitable.
1t does not transplant well, therefore the
nuts should be planted where the trees are
to stand. The same rule holds good with
reference to all nut-bearing trees. In Cali
fornia they usually plant the trees thirty

SHEEP HUSBANDRY.

Mr.. o. ]. Vine, an extensive sheep-raiser,
writes to the Ohio Farmer that he would
advise all beginners to buy either grade or
full-blooded Southdowns or Shropshires as
the best general-purpose sheep. 1t will not
be profitable to raise sheep for wool alone.
He will find there is more money in mutton
than in wool The Southdown or Shrop-
shire will produce good heavy fleece of
medium to fine long wool, the kind that is
most in demand and which brings the high
est price in market at present. Either
breed will raise large, hardy and profitable
lambs, that will bring good prices in market
at any age, ii properly fattened.
For the beginner, continues Mr.. Vine, it
will be best tobuy ewes this fall and breed
them for March, unless he desires to raise
spring lambs for the early market. For
that purpose they should be bred from Aug
ust to Is. Then he can expect to have
lambs averaging fifty to sixty pounds by
April following. There is more money in
that particular branch of the sheep indus
try than any other, but it requires great
care and thorough knowledge of the bust
ness to insure success. Spring lambs
bring from s to IL cents per pound in the
city markets. He has frequently sold
lambs weighing over fifty pounds at cents
at home, the first week in April
Three or four years is the best age at
which to buy sheep for stock purposes.
Never buy two-year-olds for feeding or
raising lambs. Older sheep will raise
larger percentage of lambs, because they
take better care of their lambs and furnish
larger quantity of milk. Never use any
but thoroughbred male, of whatever
breed you desire to keep. Unless one is en-
tirely familiar with the sheen business, he
had better start with 100 instead of 500; he
will have n far better chance for success.
There are a great many difficulties to con-
tend with in keeping SO large flock, and
unless he learns by experience to overcome
them he will be likely to fail.
Five hundred head will require very
large range of pasture to do well. and large
sheds for housing in winter, even in very
mild climate. One should calculate ten
square feet Of stable room for each sheep
and lamb. Sheep will not bear crowding,
Especially ny tilc large, CodiSe prtcuS. zinc
sheep usually do better in such large fiocks
than coarse, but they are not so profitable.
Sheep require frequent change Of pas
ture, and should be divided into small
focks; if they are all kept together they
must have very extended range, or they
will not do well. If one keeps sheep ex-
clusively, he will find 400 to 500 acres none
too many to sustain 800 head the year
round, and if he is engaged in diversified
farming he will be obliged to have much
more land. The pleasure and profit de-
rived from sheep hus6andry are in proper
ton to the amount of time and attention
given to it. Care and diligence are daily
necessities with the successful shepherd.
OF course all this refers to sheep farm
ing, and not to raising sheep on the wild
range after, the methods extensively prac-
ticed in Texas.

On SEEDING WHEAT.

The Ohio experiment station has been
making careful tests of the different
methods resorted to in seeding wheat, and
Is Il result now comes out with a bulletin
'an substance of which we cut down to
samll compass, as follows:
The tests We're made through four success
c=ssive years 1t was found that wheat
covered one inch deep gave an average
Weld of thirty four bushels per acre; that
covered TWO inches it produced thirty-five
bushels, and that covered three inches it
produced thirty-four bushels. Judging
from these experiments it was not con-
siaered advisable 10 recommend sowing
deeper than three inches.
n IS furthermore stated that wheat sown
with 4 roller-press drill has yielded about S
p,r cent more than that sown with an ordi
iaiy drill. More or less increase has fol-
lowed the roller-press IL almost every sea
son, but q single trial has given results un-
favorable to the use of the common roller
after seeding, compared to those Sc
cured with the ollcr-press drill. Of course
the common roller is better than no roller
si44 stS W iiNlt SA4Sl.N iDlASNi-
bit the roller-press packing the soil over
Tie grain only has been found the best.
Tests we're made on drilling and broad
rI,ling in seeding wheat In the four
ears of experimentation the drill-seeding
Vas found TO give an average yield consid-
er4bly above that of the bToadcasting
single experiment was made by CROSS
drilling, but this showed no advantage over
drilling one way, the same quantity of seed
being used in both cases.
No larger crop has been produced this
year from mixed seed of two varieties than
from pure seed of the same varieties sown
separately.
The land upon which these experiments
were made lies in the valley of the Olen-
i.nga. one of the largest branches of the
Scioto The soil is yellow loan. part first
and part second bottom. It Is either natur-
s..y underdrained with gravel or artiticially
drained with tiles, and its average yield of
wheat for thirteen years has been over
twenty-six bushels per acre, on an annual
acreage of about thirty acres.
These experiments, though made for
Ohio. would seem to be applicable to Texas

THE NEW COTTON CROP.

Dr. w Z. Jones. agricultural editor of
the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, says every
thing calculated 10 lower the grade of cot
ton should be carefully guarded against in
season like the present, when the price
paid for the staple is promising to range
low Every precaution possible should be
taken this year to have cotton sample well.
Rapid picking in the sense of keeping up
with il IS IL opens, careful picking in the
sense of keeping out trash, and careful
handling at every step until the packing is
completed, are called for with unusual en-
phasis the present season.
In this connection attention is called
10 the objection to picking cotton with
baskets. That picked early in the
morning, when the cotton is wet
with dew, is packed down in the
baskets and has TO chance to dry. When
cotton is open and needs picking, one can
not afford to wait for the dew TO dry-too
much of the day would be lost-and yet dry
cotton is essential to good ginning. One
must therefore have scafolds or other AZ
engagements tor summing the cotton picked
tn the early morning, or have some substi-
-ute for the basket which will allow the
cotton to dry IN the field. The best substi
tutes DR.. Jones knows of are cloths, say size
Of 4 quilt, upon which the cotton can be
spread as it is picked. This meets the
case quite fully, and the cloths when filed
and tied up are quite as easily handled as
baskets He earnestly recommends them
10 use in the proper handling of cotton.
