RED TOP
Can l sow red top in October? Viii
it grow on land too wet for corn? How
much should SOW to the acre?
]. L., Calhoun.
You can SOW red top this month, OF
in February and March. 1t will thrive
on very wet land that would not answer
for corn. Sow two bushels to the acre
TO KEEP PEAS.
Do peas keep better to leave them in
the hull or to clean them?
n. A. B., Adairsville
1t is better to leave the peas in the
hulls until you need them. as they KEEP
better in that form.
Would marble dust be beneficial te
land! Pm. Ball Ground.
Practically, your question is whether
it would pay to apply marble dust tt
land as fertilizer, as there are many
substances that under peculiar condi
lions might be beneficial as they enter
into vegetation, but which under ordi
nary conditions would not pay to apply.
The lands Of Georgia contain as a rule 6
sufficient supply of lime to enter int the
composition Of plants SO agriculturally
it is not applied for that purpose. but
lot other purposes, such as to correct
acidity, hasten the decomposition of
organic matter, cause disentegration of
the mineral substances Of the soil and
prepare the constituents Of the SOIL for
assimilation by plants. For these pur.
poses calcium carbonate, which Ia the
form in which lime is present In marble
dust. is virtually useless, being a very
valuable form Of lime, and the dust
blow in disentegrating.
Again, when lime is. demanded by q
crop, it can be supplied 30 cheaply in
litter and available forms, such as Ryp-
sum or the soft limestones, that II
would be needless to undertake to fer
tilize with marble dust.
/ see that you allude to the use of
common salt by David Dickson in the
preparation of fertilizers. Does salt act
as direct fertilizer or are it's benefits
indirect! B. A. B.. Hancock.
By experiment it has been demon.
strated that sodium compounds. com
mon salt being chloride Of sodium, are
not essential to the life of agricultural
plants. Notwithstanding this. it is
evident that common salt by a round
about way is ct times beneficial. An
emminent writer on agricultural chem
istry has thus explained it:
lit effects the decomposition of sub
stances already present in the soil, and
sets free from them some things which
are needed by plants. 1t is somewhat
with salt as It is with gypsum, except
that while gypsum pushes out potash
with especial ease as well as magnesia
and ammonia from the hydrous double
silicates. Common salt displaces lime
first of all, then magnesia, and potash
las well as some phosphoric acid only
to a subordinate extent. The discov
cry, however, even of this much, viz
That salt acts indirectly to dissolve mat
tiers that are already in the soil ant
has served to clear up one of the mos
obscure points in the chemistry of az
riculture..
1T can also be said that salt con
serves moisture, and in that manner
may be beneficial toland."

In gathering your potatoes. exercise
the care to which the commissioner has
called attention in his monthly talk,
and place the potatoes carefully in the
bin, exercising care that NO bruised or

When the weather becomes SO cold

moving any that indicate tendency to
decay, replace the sound ones in layers.

From the culling, many potatoes At for

This requires considerable care, but it
will compensate any farmer and permit
him to place his potatoes on the market
when there is a good profit in the price
they will bring.

demeanor for robbing the public and
was sentenced to twelve years i'm

death before its expiration. Among
the isolated cases-that is crimes for
which but one person has suffered,
the most distinguished was Captain
Nathaniel Gordon, who was hanged
for slave trading, being the only in

in the Tombs Feb. u, 1862, and was
one of the sensations of that
