To J. Is. Mel. Penton, Ala.-The best
hobbe we ever tried for breechy hog or
a chicken-ea eating is to tie together one
forefoot and one hndfoot on the same side
with small pillow line. In other words
side line" as jumping goats are some
times treated. The rope should be of such
length that the hog stand with all his
legs in Il natural position when the rope
is tight. He cannot possibly rear up or
jump when harnessed in this way.
T. L. Nee, Faulkner. Miss.-I have a piece
of land, about four acres, that has lain out
three years. | broke it; want to plant in
cotton. | want to check it 3X2l2 feet. Please
inform me how to manure; would it do to
put manure in the check and plant cotton?
Don't want to bed; want the cotton on
level. Please give me best rule
If you propose to fertilize the land lib
orally. say 800 to 500 pounds per acre, we
would suggest that it would be better to
lay off the three-foot rows, strew the fer
tilizers all along in these burrows and list
it. cover it with forked plow. Now
check off the other way. The quickest way
to do this would be to make marker"
Take Il piece of 3x3 scantling five and a
half feet long; put q short one-inch pin in
the middle and one near each end for mark
ers. Put couple of small poles in for
shafts. This enables you to lay Oil three
mark rows at one trip. If you propose to
put 200 pounds less per acre you may
put it in the check, without danger; cover
it and then open, drop seed ana cover

The grub worm, or white grub, is the lar

noying by flying into the house at night
during warm spring nights in May The
grub matches from an egg laid in the
ground by the female bug and lives three
years in that stage. We know Of no rene
dy for this pest in the grub state, except TO
destroy as many as can be found when
blowing and spading the soil. The war
should tie made on the beetles. These do
not fly in the day time. When the trees are
found on which they feed during the night
many may be caught on sheet spread be-
meath the trees and by vigorously shaking
the latter early in the morning. We know
of no remedy for snails except to have a
barrier that they cannot surmount.
Subscriber. paIos, Ala.-On fresh, nfliy

of corn per acre, / wish to make a summer
and winter pasture for hogs and COWS.
land and when should it be soWed? How
should the land be prepared for sowing?
How much seed per acre, and how much
land should | sow for each head of stock to
be paStured?
You will not succeed in getting moss to
grow with much Vigor and profit without Il
good dose of manure on such land. For
summer pasture bermuda grass is, without
doubt. the best grass for the south. Those
who have tried the experiment say that
Burr clover soWn on same land with Der
mUda will make good winter pasture.
our experiment with Burr clover is but
limited, and not altogether satisfactory.
We have found that it will not amount
to nything except on good productive
land. We would advise you to set the field
in bermuda, and now is the time to do it.
Next September or October, SOW one bushel
orchard, one bushel red top, one bushel tall
oat and eight pounds red clover, and apply
at least 200 pounds of ammoniated guano
per acre. Three acres to each COW and a
half acre to each hog.
