cotton lint is comparatively crude prod
uct: and does not minister to the wants
OF appetites of cultivated tastes. But
Ter and cheese are the products of a
higher degree of skill and Judgment
ana must meet the demands of more
exactlng tastes-quick to recognize and

and usually does, involve skillful farm
management, intensive farming, rails
ing manure, growing grass and forage,
sllos, ETC., and at the same time fur
nishes facilities for improving our
farms. The waste products from a
dalry-the whey and the skim milk
as fattening food for pigs, calves,
pultry, play no small part in summing
up the profits. The manure from a
herd OF well fed cows, especially if kept
Tor butter only, is very important
factor in increasing and maintaining
the productiveness of the soil.
Where the factory system prevails,
the owner of the factory may find
cheese-making a prof1tab BILE business,
while some patrons Cfarmers) through
lack OF proper skill and industry, NAV
lind no profit in selling milk to the fac
tory. The main concern with the far
mer should be to produce milk at as
small cost per gallon as possible.
This is where the chief profit fies, lust
as in all other lines of farming. TO do
this he must not neglect the require
ments that are necessary to success and
profit in ordinary farming. He must
nave good milch-cows-not necessarily
blooded stock, but well-selected, gem
crous mixers. Grade up by using a
thoroughbred male, and weed out and
sell to the butcher all Improbable
cows. He must provide an abundance
offood for summer and winter. A ber-
muda grass pasture on good land is SUI
prior to the best pastures of Ohio or
Kentucky. Cow peas fed in the hull,
or the peas ground into meal cow pea
vines, green and cured, sorghum, mil
let, corn forage, cotton-seed meal and
bran leave nothing to be desired in the
food line except some more succulent
food than is usually provided in winter.
Rlch lots sown in rye and barley in
September answer a very valuable pur-
pose. The Station will not commence
to feed from the silo until about No
vember, and will soon thereafter be
prepared to conduct some feeding ex-
periments to test the value of the en-
silage, etc. If the silo is pronounced
success, then the winter food problem
is solved, and winter pastures will be
of minor Importance.
In conclusion, the farmers of Georgia
are not advised to go at once into
cheese-making, nor yet butter making,
on a large scale, or expecting large
profits. 1t is not the purpose of the
Station to mislead or to induce an un-
due amount of enthusiasm on this or
any other line but to gather facts,
verify experience and furnish informa-
ton that may help to place our agri-
culture on a higher and more profta-
BILE basis. 1t must be left TO the far
mer himself to apply the information
furnished to practice, and solve the
problem of profit or loss.

KNOW That 1t Will e1ectually destroy them
lAnsWer, by II. N. Starnes, Horticulturist7
You are doing exactly right with your
turnip tops and Paris Green. That il
will "effectually destroy them" alto,
gether is hardly to be hoped, but that
it will greatly diminish their numbers
and the consequent damage they do, is
certain.
Cut worms are the larvae of a small
moth or miller" noticed about the
lamps or gas on summer evenings. and
belonging to the genus Agrotis. The
Greasy Cut Worm" (Agrotls telifera)
is the species damaging corn, tomatoes
cabbage, etc. They hibernate under
ground, and many are destroyed by
BIRDS when exposed by the plow in
winter. For this purpose it is adyisa.
pie to break the truck patch several
times during the winter to give the
birds chance to get in their work. es.
pecially during Robin season."
Hand work is always effective thouuh
tedious and costly, and only advisable
as means of diminishing the damage
after the crop is planted Go over the
crop every afternoon, punching several
holes around each plant with the fer
uie OF a walking cane. During the
night the worms, after committing
their depreciation, will harbor in these
holes, where they may be crushed the
next morning with the same ferule.
A better plan, involving destruction
more economically, would be to take a
piece of board and in it insert pegs two
inches long and as large around as the
fore-hnger. Attach a handle like a
securing mop, only perpendicular. and
make the holes in the ground in the
evening with this instrument. Next
morning go over your tracks of the
evening previous, fitting the crusher in
the holes, which the pegs will of course
mt, thus saving much time in ''cane
punching"
Most effective and most practical OF
all, however, is the use of Paris Green.
use any tempting green substance at
your command, such as turnip-tops,
collard leaves, clover, mustard, etc.
for week before setting out the plants
and after the ground has been prepar'
ed. Roll the green's into balls which
may be confined by strings-small
balls, as large, say, as a walnut-and
steep in solution of Paris Green.
Place the balls every ten feet along the
rows. This will dispose of the worms
pretty effectually by the time you are
ready to plant. Of course the balls
must be renewed every evening in or,
der to present q fresh, tempting morsel
for the attraction of the worms.
Would not recommend the use of Gas
Lime or KANT. They are not suita.

BlACkberriaR.

w. H. N, Atlanta, Ca: Please give me the
names OF several OF the best varieties Of Black.
ANSWER by Hugh N. starnes, Horticultu
No one Blackberry combines every
desirable quality. Certain varieties are
preferable for earliness, only. as Early
Harvest, though this berry is good
shipper as well, and productive, also.
Certain others are valuable for pro
ductiveness, only, as Snyder, which is an
immense yielder, but is of rather pool
quality and only medium in season
though a good shipper.
Others still, as Early Cluster, are q
good combination of all qualities, but
distinguished principally for "showi
ness" Early Cluster is beauty on the
bush 1t Is quite productive, of very
good quality and its popularity is that
all OF the berries turn red at once OF
the spray, and then blacken one by
one, making magnificent sight. 1t is
rather my favorite over all others.
Still others, as Wilson and Wilson
Jr., are notable for the size of their
fruit and its delicate quality, though
the latter characteristic tends to make
them poor shippers. Erie, too, is Of ex
cellent quality, though not so large as
the Wilson's, which are identical, so faI
as can discover. Lawton is an old
standby, of large size but not remark
able as yielder or for it's quality.
Agawam is noteworthy for the late
ness of its fruit, being valuable fol
keeping up succession.
Taylor and Dorchester are long shin
pers and not of much value otherwise
Kittatinny is a good, all-round berry
with many of the characteristics OF
Lawton.
We have number of other berries
in the Station plat, but none so fully
tested as those mentioned, though An.
Gent Briton & Stones Hardy are
good berries
On the whole, 1 would recommend
the following list; which makes com.
plete succession and combines, as we'll,
earliness, lateness, quality, productive
ness and appearance:
l. Early Harvest. Very early; pro.
ductive.
2. Early Cluster. Snowy product
i've.
3. Wilson. Large size; first quality.
4. Lawton. Large; fair quality
s. Kittatinny. Large fair quality.
6. Erie. Very good quality.
z. Snyder Extremely productive.
8. Agawam. Very late.
They can be bought of almost any
small fruit dealer at the North Per.
haps Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry, OF
Rochester, N. Y, would give better sat.
lsfaction than any others.
