me as TO the key note OF the various

trust to memory and the ear to read or

There can be limited success in the lat
ter method, but there can be no indepen-
dence OF thought or performance, for the
principles are not understood. Each spec
ial piece has to be learned In the same
way There is always dependence on some
other person.
So in our crops. We do not understand
the principles We simply learn OF them
by experience or what some other person
tells US.
Now, let US try In a simple way to learn
a little of clover, and by clover we have
meant in a broad sense the leguminOus
crops, for alfalfa Is not true clover.
All our feed stuffs must contain both pro-
TEN and carbohydrates, or, as another
form of expressing it, both heterogeneous
and carbonaceous elements The stan
dard proportion is as one TO Ave and four
tenths. though more Of the latter is really
the common ration is this country.
Now protein is much the most expensive
element so feed stuffs containing much
protein are most valuable. To give an IL
Illustration, / will say that Of the common
feeds cotton seed meal is richest in pro-
TEN, being one to one and nineteen-huH-
dredths, while rye straw has only very
little protein, being one to fifty-eight OF
carbohydrates. SO when we take the av-
erage of clover at all stages. and find
that the proportion is one to five ana
three-tenths, we see we have a feed n
little above the standard for a complete
and balanced feed.
We usually have to use grain to bring
the ration up to the proper standard. so
in raising these leguminous crops the
amount of grain necessary is greatly d.
minished.
The legumes are the only plants that
draw the nitrogen from the air. so 1t will
be readily seen that they not only do not
exhaust the soil BY taking nitrogen from
it, but actually add nitrogen to II, 50 the
soil is better for having grown them,
just like this world is bettered by some
people who live in It,
As a matter of course the resultant ma
nure from feeding clover TO stock Is
richer as manure. to be complete must
have nitrogen in it.
There is then a three-fold enriching by
the raising of clover and other legumi-
nous crops, such as alfalfa, COW peas, etc.
It was once a very wide spread belief
that there was no clover adapted 10 the
southern country below the latitude OF
80 degrees or 80 degrees. In the past If
teen years, however, It has been very
clearly shown that this was an error
We have several clovers as fully adapted
to our use as needs be. If we only real
lied the fact and made proper use OF
them.

Glover in some Of it's varieties is adapt
ed to all sections OF our country, though
not so well understood in the south and
west as north and east, says western
farmer. But the advent of crimson Glow
er and alfalfa is likely to make it popular
and profitable everywhere, while there is
much promise in Japan and sweet clover
and Persian and Turkestan alfalfa. All
realize the great value Of clover, but few
stop to think in what it consists and why
it is so.

The bursting of growing cabbage may
very easily be prevented by selecting the
heads which show signs of bursting and
starting the roots by pulling or cutting off
some of the roots with a hoe. The pulling
process is preferable. Putting both hands
under the head l pull until many of the
roots are loosened and then the plant is
pushed over to one side. This treatment
effectually stops the bursting, and not only
that. but the cabbage continues to grow
Justify, and ! have had the qualification Of
seeing heads thus treated grow to double
the former size and weight, and all due to
this starting the roots which checked the
growth enough to prevent bursting, but
not enough to hinder further develop

cabbage to burst when so effectual means
are at hand to prevent it.-National

The insects pierce the young pea and
bean pods and deposit their eggs in the
soft new seed. There is no way to pre-
vent TINS. In some sections of the couu-
try the insects give very little trouble
and seedsmen make a point of having
their seed stock raised in those regions,
When the seed is mature and has been
housed in the fall. the grubs in the peas
can be destroyed by the use of bisulphide
of carbon, thus preventing them when
only partially grown from further depre-
dations. Place the seeds in a perfectly
tight cask and set in IL a dish containing
a little of the bisulphide, and close II

The Tomato Worm.


Editor Morning News.-I send you with
this mail. in a tin box, three specimens of
tomato worms, small, medium and full
sized. I find these worms devastating my
fine patch of Throphy and Imperial to-
matoes. They seem to feed upon the top
most branches, cutting them off and eat
ing every leaf and bud entirely on. Are
they peculiar to the tomato? What is the
name, and how propagated, and what Is
the remedy? V. l.. D
Waycross, Ga, June IS.
The worms you send are various hatch
ings of the potato or tomato worm-in
scientific term the Phlegethontius Caro-
lima AS a general rule these worms are
never so abundant as to do much damage,
but it may be that they are more nume-
rQus with you than they generally are.
We have them in our own tomato field.
but they do not half the damage that
the boil or corn worm does.
The moths that lay the eggs usually
fly about shutdown and lay their eggs here
and there on the leaves of the tomato.
In cultivating the crop the worms should
be hand killed, as they are easily de-
tected by their signs. They rarely attack
the fruit, eating only the leaves, prefer
ring those that are tender. what with
the blight and the boil worm and the
tomato worm dixie that you send the
yield of tomatoes is very greatly reduced
Hand picking is the most effective way
q dlsposing of the worms.

Potatoes. Etc.


Of the Agricultural Department with as
Inn and plain directions as possible re-
r7rding the planting and cultiVating of
cabbage rutabagas, turnips, beets, onions,
meas. Irish potatoes for fail crop?
can a fall crop of each of the above
be raised successfully in Southwest
Georgia?
81 already have cabbage seed planted and
some plants are up. l also have onion
seeds planted to make sets to plant out
for large onions. Please give Is full direc-
tons as possible? J. $. c."
sylvester, Ga.>
In our last issue all necessary directions
for growing the second crop of potatoes
were given. and in the past three months
we have said a good deal about growing
onions and cabbage.
We assume that you wish to grow these
vegetables so as to have them mature in
October or before severe weather puts
stop to all growth. In your section some
times frost severe enough to kill Irish po-
tato vines does not occur before the last
Of November or a little later. 1t takes
very careful, painstaking gardener to sue
coed with such paintings, and it is COM
paratively rare that they are made a sue
cess.
If cabbage insects are as bad in your
section as they are IN Middle Georgia, we
are almost sure you will have your trouble
for nothing, if you attempt to grow cab
bage as a late crop. If you have very
rich, fairly moist soil and provide stocky,
we'll grown plants, ready to set out by the
18th or 10Th of July, and are willing to
give them all necessary care and cultiva-
ton, you might succeed in the effort. Some
good kind, like the Buncombe or Follter's
Brunswick should be used, and frequent
shallow cultivation should be given.
Rutabagas should be sown the last of
this month. 1t is well to mix this kind
and the Yellow Aberdeen together, half
and half. If your land is light, as we as
same it is, you should use roller freely
in preparing the soil.
Bed out and then give the beds a good
rolling. Sow the seeds, cover and roll
again. You must keep some insectecide
ready to hand to dust on the plants the
very moment they appear, else the fly and
the beetle will destroy them in very few
hours. Ashes, with little kerosene oil
stirred in the ashes, to give them a strong
odor, busted freely on the young plants
while the dew is on them, will usually
protect from these insects.
1t is hardly possible that you could start
a crop of onions now to mature in the fall
and make a success of it, We have tried
such a crop time and again, only to meet
with failure and disappointment. If, by
any means, you could provide plants to set
out by the first of August, and could get
them to live and started into growth, you
might mature them by December. The
Italian set New Queen is by all odds the
best kind for such a purpose. We DO not
hesitate to tell you that you are not hkely
to succeed with this late crop.
By referring to our last issue you will
find an article on. onions also, and in fol-
lowing numbers you will find further direc-
tons as to growing other vegetable crops.

Remedy for Horn Fly.-Farmer and

the formula he uses, viz:
Melt a pint of lard and when melted

about as much more of crude carbolic
acid.
If you cannot get the crude acid, take
half as much refined acid. When / make
the preparation l find It a good thing to
add a teacupful of kerosene oil. Apply
lightly on the shoulders and all places the

wide to apply the mixture, but piece Of
cloth win do. The pine tar and carbolic
acid may be had at the druggists, and the
brush at the stationery stores You should
be sure and use pine tar and not coal tar.
for the latter will not do. The mixture
should be warmed just before using, so as
to be in a liquid state, and 1t should be
gently stirred while using.

Summer Pruning.-In pruning fruit trees,
attention has to be given to the manner
in which the particular kind bears its
fruit The cherry and the pear both bear
their fruit on short spurs. and in trimming
therefore, the effort should be to produce
a large quantity of healthy fruit spurs.
Summer pruning does this admirably.
The branches that we want as leading
shoots should not be touched. but the
weaker ones may be pinched back, about
midsummer. a foot or two-thirds of their
growth. This will induce the swelling of
a number OF buds that will produce flowers
instead of branches, and in this way fruit
spurs can be obtained on comparatively
young trees, but with such kinds as the
grape vine, the fruit is born on the
branches Of last years growth, so the ef-
fort should be to throw all the vigor possi-
BILE into these growing branches that we
want to bear fruit next season. To do this
we pinch back the shoots that we do not
want to extend, or even pun these weak
shoots out altogether. a little pruning Is
then necessary IN the winter TO shorten
back these strong. bearing canes. or to
prune out altogether the weaker ones that
we check by pinching back during the
growing season.-Meehan's Monthly.

Arkansas Ochres.

Mr. G. G. Hardness has added fine collection of ochres 10 the Commercial Leagues exhibit. It is made up wholly of ochres dis covered at Monticello, this State, and at glance is seen to discount all exhibits of the kind attempted either by owners of ochre beds, or manufacturers of decorative paints.
 The Commercial Leagues col lection consists of eleven speei- mems, and in their present shal e complete symphony in color which reflects good taste, and at the same time the value of the material is seen at a glance.
 Though little has been heraIded of the matter, 1t is learned that quite number of car loads have been shipped to St. Louis and Pittsburg. From what is learned it is being principally converted into red pigment, which change is made by driving off the water of specialization by heat. The red pigment, samples of which are seen at the League Rooms, is pro nounced to have the best color, lustre and body of any roasted ochre of commerce. Arkansas is being credited with the best ochre known to the arts.-ArkdnSaS Ga i zttte.
