This is the time Of year when the land
lord is busy making the many little re-
pairs needed in his houses, but which
until NOW the tenant has failed to
secure.
The tenant is an important factor Just
now and does not hesitate to take advan
tage OF his Importance to get any num-
Der Of little things done which he has
ssked for in vain during the preceding
twelve months. This done, new leases
are assigned and the tenant once more
takes on the yoke and enters on another
year Of servitude.
Moving day this year fuds large
number Of vacant houses all over the
city and many very desirable ones One
reason for this Is the building Of so many
homes in the western and northern dis
tricts. and the tendency Of those who
can to seek the suburbs. The ease with
which the store, office or workshop can
be reached by the electric road has added
materially TO this suburban residence
ahip, while the added advantages Of room
and purer air are factors.
That there will be larger psr csntage
OF movlngs this year than in preceding
years is doubtful. There are always
those who are never satisfied except they
are on wheels at least once year, those
who find 1t cheaper TO move than pay
rent, and those who seek to improve
their lot. These, like the poor, we always
have with us

:" RED WATER."

Report ON Cases Among Cattle. With
Remedies for Prevention and Cure.
Hon. R. T. NEsBIrT, Commissioner of
Agriculture:
Red water (hoema albomonoric), a
disease affecting the bovine tribe com.
mon to all sections Of Georgia. and es-
pecially in the spring and summer
months-a disease very fatal In it's raw
ages-the reports from different SEQ
lions Of Georgia during the last year
would indicate that it has destroyed
many entire herds of cattle with no
signs Of abatement.
In my recent visit to Cherokee coun-
ty, found three cases suffering with
It, A cow belonging to Mr.. Cole, one
of Mr.. Pitman's, and one of Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Roberts lost IA; Mr.. Freeman lost
four, Mr.. Barnes lost seven, Mr.. Field
lost II; and many others lost, varying
in numbers by the size of the herds
The characteristic symptoms Of the
disease are loss of appetite, standing
sometimes with the back arehed, che
coat looks rough and strong, bowels
may be constipated, or the opposite,
very loose, the discharges sometimes
covered with mucous and again streak
ed with blood; the emissions of urine
at times will be red colored or coffee
colored; The pulse is quick and wiry
with high temperature, good deal of
nervous twitching in some cases.
The treatment should be--Change
the animals at once to another lot; give
a complete change in feed; open the
bowels with a quart of lard mixed with
one or two ounces of spirits turpentine;
give all the stock tablespoonful hypo-
phosphite of soda in feed morning and
evening as an antiseptio measure; one
ounce chlorate of potash in quart of
water every four hours; drench in
quart of water; give alternately with
the potash every four hours table.
spoonful of sulphate of iron and pow.
dered gentian. Support the animals
strength with flaxseed meal and half a
dozen raw eggs every day, pure water
and anything the animal will eat.
This disease has been very fatal to
successful raising of cattle in Georgia
for many years, particularly the last
two years. That it is due to baccilli
there is little if any doubt 1t certain
ly demands, in the interest of all, that
a careful investigation should be made
and the true cause located.
Respectfully, J. N Cook,
Veterinary Surgeon,

THE COTTON ACREAGE.

QUESTION What is your opinion
as to the outcome of the cotton situa.
ton? Do you think that If the cotton
acreage is materially reduced the crop
will command high prices next fall?
ANSWER I've think that it Is ex-
tremely doubtful whether the price of
cotton will be at once affected by the
reduced acreage. and therefore the
man who regulates his farm operations
on the hypothesis Of high prices is risk
ing serious loss, if not utter ruin. This
is a mistaken view Of the entire sub
ject. The main idea in reducing tho
cotton acreage is to devote more time
to those crops which will make the
farmer independent. By producing
those home supplies we don't expect to
make more money, but to have less
need for spending it. 1t is the farmer
in debt on whom the hard times press
so heavily, because the prices of his
commodities have gone on declining,
while the interest, taxes, etc., remain
at the same figure as when his corn.
oats, cotton and wheat were worth and
would pay debts Of three times their
present value.
FORMULA FOR GRoUNDPEAs.
QUESTION 5.-Please give me a good
fertilizer for groundpeas. / wish to
make the best crop of which the land
is capable. What proportion OF oil do
the groundpeas contain, and are there
any accessible mills?
ANSWER 5.--Acid phosphate, 1000
pounds.
Muriate potash, 800 pounds.
Nitrate soda, 300 pounds.
Sulphate of lime, 500 pounds.
There is 38 per cent of oil in ground
peas. As far as we can ascertain there
are only two mills in this country. one
in st. Louis and the other in New
York. Owing to the fact that other
oils are now cheaper, this nv has
been almost abandoned. During the
war, when we were cut off from other
supplies, there were good many of
these mills in the south It's uses are
the same as cottonseed oil, and the
cake is also used for stock feed. The
Spanish groundpeas can be planted
after tho small grain crops are taken
on. and will mature fully before frost.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1895-05-16
COTTON.

This important crop is not yet in a
condition upon which to predicate any
estimate as to yield. The planting,
however, is from ten to 20 days late.
There is reduction, in round numbers,
of 100, 900 tons Of guano in this state
alone compared to last year. The fall
ing off in acreage, compared to last
year, is fully 20 per cent. These facts,
holding good in a greater or less degree
in all the cotton states east of the
Mississippi river, warrant the conclu-
sion that we may expect at least only
moderate crop of cotton this year, and
consequently the farmers may hope for
better prices than they received for the
last crop
CORN.
Corn, though planted late, is gener-
ally up and looking we'll all over the
state The acreage, as reported by
II 1-2 per cent greater than last year,
with land we'll prepared and stands
good. l cannot too often urge upon
farmers the Importance and the abso-
Lutte necessity Of giving this crop es-
pecial attention through all stages of
its growth. Corn will not, like cotton,
stand neglect and still reward the
farmer with good crop. 1t must be
we'll cultivated from the start, or a
good crop need not be expected,
OATS
Little that Is favorable can be said of
this important grain, which is OF so
much value as food crop for stock.
The severe cold of the past winter TO-
tally destroyed two paintings of the
crop, and the lateness Of the season,
with the difficulty of obtaining seed,
deferred great many from planting
the third time. Those that did plant
have a good stand and the crop is look
ing well, though a heavy yield can
scarcely be expected from such late
planting. The reported average de-
crease in the acreage is 20 per cent.
WHEAT
Wheat is planted only in the upper
portion of the state. and the acreage ia
reported at per cent less than last

age of this crop, compared with last
year, caused no doubt by much of TIE
seed cane being killed by the cold. The
crop is up, with fair stands and grow.
ing WEI
RICE.
There is falling off of per cent in
the acreage of lowland rice. There are
no reports on upland rice; though, from
the large number Of inquiries received
by this department as to the best meth.
cd of planting and cultivating it. have
no doubt the acreage has been largely
increased.
