provided for in the contract (Which should
always be dope) they must be determined
and fixed by the prevailing cust in that
section. We should say that the tenant
should feed the worl. stock that is used in
cultivating the joint crop 2. lie ought to
do the repairing of fences, tile owner sup
plying the rails. 3. We think ,he should pay
for his half of the fertilizers, fin the absence
of any express provision. But all these are
plain matters of agreement beforehand
and could not be left open, Unless the GUS
tom has become firmly fixed lin the county.
4. 1t depends on the detailsl of the agree

To j. A. Ellis Union Springs, Ala. We
think il is probable that 1our mare has
an attack of CHAMBERS in the bcute form. BY
all means have a competent eXpert-a vet
Urinary surgeon-to see THE animal In
the meantime keep all horses and mules as
far separated from the mare( as possible.
2. We have never heard of the peanuts sep
arate from the vines) being used as a horse
feed, and we do not think they would be a
suitable food. being too oily dad fattenng.
The vines make an excellent hay. You
could not afford to feed peanuts to horse
other animal as it would jbe too expen-
sIve. At 80 cents bushell (22 lbs) they
would he a very eXtravaga lat food, even
if suitable. Indeed, you cainot afford to
dig peanuts for feeding to hny brute ami

third each of acid phosphate. kainit and
cotton meal, at the rate of 100 to 800 pounds

To w. r. W., Lower Peach Tree, Ala
From your description we are not able to
say just what was the matter with your

To Mrs. Maggie Carroll, Dewsburg. Tenn.
-"Gapcs" in fowls is caused by parasitic
worms (sclerostoma syngamus) in the wind
pipe. 1t is said that these worms appear
first a small tcll-like parasite on the
heads of the young chicks. Examine with
a pocket lens and if found on the head
warm the following mixture and smear it
on the heads: / ounce each Of mcrcurial
ointment and lard OH; one-half ounce each
of flowers of sulphur and crude petroleum.
To relieve the gapes strip a small quill
feather TO within half inch of the small end;
dip this brush in spirits of turpentine
ard insert II into the opening to the wind
pipe at the base of the tongue; turn it
around once or twice ana withdraw it, IL
not relieved try again next day. Give warm
shelter, good, soft food. Well mixed with
black pepper, and skimmilk to drink.
+. c. T., Noxapater, Miss-I write to
give You a substitute for coffee. Take corn
meal bran ANA add enough mOlasscs to
cause bran TO stick together while parch-
ing and parch till well Drowned. No one
good, genuine coffee and the people can
save something 10y this.
Any coffee drul5or is welcome to the
above recipe; but the trouble is that such a
substitute, nor any other substitute, viii
produce the peculiar stimulating effect of
coffee. The substitute containce no caffeine
the essential oil of coffee.
L. Ira Watts. Improve, Miss have
piece of upland. the soil being father light,
which produced about thrty-hye bushels
Of corn per acre by an application Of twenty
bushels of cotton seed and 100 pounds of
in cotton. / wish TO fertilizett SO as to
produce a bale of cotton per acre. | have
five loads of stable manure to nut per
acre. How much commercial fertilizer VIII
IL take with the above amount of stable
manure 20 make a bale TO the acre? VIII
II DE well Ia use chemical fertilizer only
or part cotton seed mcal2
If YOU viii refer to editorial i'm issue OF
January 2Sth YOU win find formula for
cotton. The five loads OF manure are good
SO far as thay go, but St would not
amount to much. Nix 1000 pounds of acid
phosphate 100 pounds Of mufiate of potash
and 200 pounds of cotton seed meal; apply
500 TO 600 pounds por acre. Apply the
stable manure separately or mixed with
the formula We would do it the most
convenient way.
To r. IT. w. GIden, y. C.-Yes. mix
acid, muriate and cotton seed together,
say goo pounds acid 30 pounds murate and
90 bushels of cotton seed d>illeD for eight
acres. IF the seed are now green they
should be crushed or made up into a wet
heap Meal would be better ana cheaper.
". A. G., Sparta. Ga. says that mad
itch" OF the horse may be cured by feed
ing the affected animal literally on
sorghum cane. probably tho Early Amber
variety ana when about ripe but his letter
does not make it plainly clear that it was
the sorghum that cured his horse. II may
have been % simple coincidence, and we
think il very likely. cone swallow does not
make "a spring" Your letter does not show
any connection or relation of "cause ana
effect"
To John II. Wall. Elains n. C.-The
knife is generally the most effective rene
dy FOR most tumors especially if of long
