! with them that would benefit the crops; II
| SO, please tell what they are?
Leached ashes contain a very small per cent
| Of phosphate and quite a large per cent Oh
| lime. Bone or acid phosphate, cotton seet
meal or fish scraps or other forms OF mirage
NOUS matter could be applied with the ashes
Subscriber, Columbus Miss.--1. I have a
piece of gray Or. white land that was plantet
and 0a Weeds on pfng H WASH to ea Glp in
ton. Will acid phosphate alone make a sooc
fep lha; + So how much per oo acre ncdor r.
,G 3 Which pays BEST late or early planted
/. If land will grow large stalks Of cotton
say three to four feet high, acid phosphate
alone will bring good cotton on itJsay 100 tc
200 pounds per ace in drill. If it will gov
small stalks, the phosphate will need the he'll
of some cotton seed meal-saY 100 pounds pei
acre.
IL land is not liable to wash, bed up al
once About the middle Of February fresheI
up water furrow, put manure in it and cover
it with two burrows. Just before planting lin
ish up the beds. If land washes, break broad
cast now and bed UP later.
3. In middle Georgia our observation is that
in q majority Of years, early planted cotton
yields most.
W. p, Saley, Ark: have a creek farm
and the creek has grown up and is damaging
The land. Can l do anything to reinstatc the
land for next years crop:
We infer from your imperfect statemeni
alone will bring cotton on it say $50 to
that the creek has been getting
out OF its banks and washing
away the soil. If this be the case
the only remedy is to deepen and widen it
especially at its mouth or below your farm
and to straighten it wherever practicable. Pui
brush in the caye-ins. and drive stakes down
through the brush to hold them N place
They will catch dirt and restore the bank
Subscriber, Opelika, Ala.-I have Syounot
horse about three years old / keep film il
a large stall and feed on oats and nay. HIS
eyes become inflaned about once a month an,
nave yellow spot in them, and after Two
them. I bathe them with weak salt water
and put little mixture Of honey and calome
| wish to know what is the matter witt
them and how 70 treat them? DO you think he
is goin$ blind? l am compelled to Keep h hl
two or three miles.
Symptoms very much like those Of consti
tutional tendency to blindness, and the proba
bilities he will go blind before he is eight
years old.
The treatment you are pursuing is probably
good any. DO not give him any corn.
and do not overfeed with grass Of any kind.
Give just enough to keep him in fair order
J. A, Chance. Ala.--I wish to SOW red clio
yer and some herd grass ! want TO hno"
the best time TO SOW and whether it will dc
to SOW together or not and how much pei
acre?
BY herds grass It is presumed you near
red top" If for grazing the two may be
sown together if for moving they may not, as
they do not attain their full growth at the
same time The clover will be ready to cut
some time before the red top is. Both may
be sown about the LIST OF March and up to the
middle of that month. Sow ten pounds o.
clover seed and one bushel OF rcd top seed.
