discussion of conjugal love, heredity
and the use and abuse of the sexual
passion, and other topics which SCI

to have good results, for his sugges-
tions are wise, and the information
he furnishes should be known by all. -

EXPERIMENTAL STATION NOTES.

The following from Bulletin No. % of the
Texas experiment station is of value to farm
erS and is very reasonable. No Wjde-aWake,
progl essive grape grower thinks of growing
grapes without using some preventive OF the
black rot and mildew:
Cost of the Chemicals.
The whole cost of the chemicals will be
about as follows: Copper sulphate, cents
per pound; copper carbonate, III cents per
pound; sodium carbonate, 3 cents per pound;
fresh lime, 30 cents per buShcl.
The cost per acre with the first three f0r-
mulae when applied four times Will be about
$lo or 81, VARYING of course, acc3rdiing e. TO
and the local cost of the labor.
Funsicides for Black Rot.
OF all the different preparations for pre-
vention of parasitic diseases upon plants
perhaps the Bordeaux mixture still takes
the lead. The following in regard to the
Bordeaux mixture upon grapes was re
ceived from Professor t. Y. Munson, Deni-
son. Tex. October 49, 1892: Last year
time for full crop, did not spray, ana lost
nearly everything by black rot. ThiS year
saved nearly all the crop with four spray
iDgs of Bordeaux mixture" Or. A. NJ. Rag
land, Pilot Point, Tex, states that the
grapes are injured in his section Of the state
by diseases from so to so per cent Dor
deaux saved 80 per cent" Equally as
good results with the Bordeaux have been
obtained elsewhere.
The following weak Bordeaux mixture has
been very. effective at the Virginia expert
ment station during the past three years
and 1t works through spray nozzles quite
well. Formula:
l. Copper sulphate pounds; lime. I'M
slaked, 2 1-2 pounds; water, Is gallons.
Professor b. II. Galloway finds the follow
ing formula very. effective, which is only
half his original formula:

slaked, = pounds; water, % gallons.
Coal Ashes.
We have often answered this question,
but it seems to be ever new. Most people

A COW due to calve in month should be

sirable to stop all feed but dry hay, and if

Of that, and TO take less milk every day until
the flow stops in ten days. The continuance
0f milking up to fresh calving is almost
sure to hurt the cow and weaken the calf.
The worst danger to be apprehended is milk
fever. and special precautions should be
taken at once after calving to avoid this
risk These may consist of Keeping the COW
quiet by herself and milking her a few
hours after the calf appears. Give the cow
Il pound of EPSON salts the day before the
calf is expected, if she appears at all fever

when danger will be past.

A correspondent of The Dallas Herald
recommends for killing prairie dogs the
method we have suggested for eXterninat-
ing ground ants. The same method might
do as we'll for moles and salamanders.
The writer says: Some three years ago
when making q trip across the continental
divide l stopped for dinner at a roadside
tavern situated in II creek valley. Close
at hand was prairie dog town number
ing over 500 inhabitants. Not long since
l had occasion to stop at the same house,
and saw that the same level prairie, once
occupied by prairie dogs, had been enclosed,
plowed, and was then covered with lux
uriant crop of grass. l was told that they

sulphide of carbon-an impure quality will
do, and it is cheap-pushed far down into
the holes, and firmly packed in with earth.
Bisulphide of carbon, being an extremely
volatile fluid, quickly evaporates and forms
n heavy gas which penetrates every cham
Der and gallery of the animals dwellings.
This gas is as promptly fatal to animal
life as are the fumes of burning sulphur,
or of carbonic acid"
Comment.-We republish the above with
pleasure and add that the remedy would
have to be applied to the subterranean
home of the mole. Why not smoke them
out with burning sulphur? The prairie
dog belongs to the squirrel family and re-
sembles the common gray squirrel some
She soil like an English rabbit. We re-
mark further that this bisulphide of carbon
is said to be an excellent remedy against
the corn weevil. which is so destructive to
corn in the crib in our extreme southern
states.

J. REDDIN0.

X. Rocky Mount n CT, have fifteen
acres in bermuda sod which [ am breaking up

of winter grass should | sow on this sod-bOt-

Texas blue grass, which made a phenomenal

land is Yingiu land, never having grown
anything else on it
/. We have several times suggested burr
clover as a suitable crop to grow with bermu-
da, the latter atfOrding summer and the
former a winter and early spring pasture.
Sow about one to four bushels of burrs per
acre any time during the early summer. OF
course you will harrow the surface of the
land after blowing up the bermuda sod. The
burr clover seed may be sown at once and
but lightly covered 1t will come up during the
early fall rains in September or October,
grow all winter, seeding and dying next May.
But we warn you not to expect any vigorous,
growth even of burr clover, on poor land 1t
will thrive on your bottoms. .. We cannot say
whether the Texas bluegrass would he able
to withstand the crowding out tendency Of
the bermuda, but rather think the two would
thrive together on such land. Certainly the

s. H., Raleigh, n C.--What is the best and
most economical fertilizer for COW peas?
The dominant or most needed element of
plant food required by the cow pea is potash,
but it may be safely assumed that any soil
that is deficient in potash is also 'Short' on
phosphoric acid, which is the second element
OF importance. Hence. an acid phosphate
containing potash is indicated. But you can
take any ordinary simple acid phosphate and
add potash to it in some form. About 200
pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of
kainit, or - pounds of muriatc of potash is
Il good application for acre. Wood ashes
make an excellent fertilizer for peas.
