seed peas for acre.
>. If the ground is in good condition it VIII
do very we'll to SOW on the stubble and
then pillow in with tWisters or half shovels,
and then harrow smooth, but we would
prefer to pillow first and then sow the peas
and harrow in.
8. OF course you cannot expect d full crop
of pea vines and a full crop of millet from
| the same land. The tax would not be too
| heavy, as the land will only produce
cording to its ability. We would sow about
three pecks Of peas and one peck of millet
| per acre
4. If speckled peas they and the millet
| will be ready to cut very nearly at the same
| time say ninety days.
5. The peas should be in full bloom with
| a few full grown pods; the millet should be
| in the mil<"-not later.
6. You might SOW fifty pounds of nitrate
| of soda per acre for the benefit of the mil
| let This would not be needed or appropria-
! ted by the peas but would be very helpful
to the miliet. You might also apply 200
pounds of acid phosphate per acre for the
peas
Z. No, there is plenty of time-ninety
days is all that are required.
8. Orchard, rep top, tall oats one bushel
| each; red clover, eight pounds.

no 0pl Of
whose rubs are poisonous.
J. c. S.-One of the best books on
the subject is a volume called "a Report on
the Diseases of Horses" published by the
secretary of agriculture, Washington, d.
G. Apply to your member of congress. 1t
is very doubtful if you can get a copy, oW
ing to the great demand for it.
j. w. c., GiisVille Gal have some corn
planted that is just coming up, and / put
100 pounds of 8u2no to the acre. | have
been told by several that it would not pay
that the guanO would give out before the
ear was formed. / would like to hear your
opinion OF it through this column.
We don't believe in the idea that q ferti-
lizer applied to corn before or at time of
planting viii be lost What if it is eX
hausted, or all taken UP by the plant be-
fore earring time? 1t has become part and
parcel of the plant and will find it's way
to the ear at the time it is needed. 1t GER
tainly cannot get away from the plant.
ON the contrary, we would prefer applying
the fertilizer however small the amount,
at planting time, as soon as possible
thereafter, rather than at any subsequent
time We have tried it repeatedly, and
under the most careful conditions.
J. IT. v, Macopin, Ga.-WiH you please
inform me- first where | can find market
for shumac and at what price, and how to
cure it, and when to gather, etc?
?. If bucllWheat can be grown for profit in
much seed to the acre and about how much
should it yield per acre?
l. We do not know who deals in Shumac,
but the trade is principally confined to
| dealers in Alexandria, Va; Baltimore, Md,
| and Wilmington, Del. The leaves are
| gathered in manner most convenient any
time after July 18th, before frost, and are
| dried and separated from the leaves and
| tWigs and sold in bales, bringing about an
| average price of $1.75 per 100 pounds
p BuckWheat is grown to a limited ex-
! tent in north Georgia-the mountain coun-
| ties-but how profitable its production is we
| cannot say. The seed are soWn in July or
| August where the production of the grain
| is desired; when for bee pasturage it
should be sown i'll the spring at the rate
| Of from one to two pecks Of seed per acre.
| The yield is from ten to twenty bushels per
| acre, according to season and land. The
want OF mills for properly grinding and
| boiling is probably serious Drawback in
| north Georgia.
