Rapid Cultivation.
by THE DIRECTOR. |

Many farmers continue to use sweeps
and heelscrapes, or other comparatively
narrow forms of cultivating nipple
ments, involving much loss of time.
Progressive farmers very generally I'M
derstand that the breaking or other
deep blowing Of the soil should be done
before the crop is planted; and that the
cultivation of the growing crop should
be shallow, the object being simply to
keep the surface, to the depth of an inch
or so, in mellow, pulverized condition.
To do this most effectively and eco
nomically wide spreading, shallow
running implement is required. We
have found a very satisfactory tool
in the Planet. Jr., Cultivator, although
there are doubtless others that are
equally effective.
In 4 foot corn or cotton row, the soil
already we'll broken and i'll good mel
low condition, one trip with such an
implement, or one time to each row, is
all that should be given when going
over the crop. A lively mule or horse
will easily 90 over 10 acres, or even
more, in a day.

economy to make q full round trip to
each row, simply in order to perfectly
''slde" each row of plants. In such o
case the return trip will be almost
thrown away. In such case we would
proceed thus, in either one Of two ways:
Suppose the rows to be feet wide and
running north and south, and that the
implement to be used is Planet, Jr., or
other cultivator, or a wide sweep, that
will stir and cover together width of AZ
inches or moro. First plan: Run around
every alternate row. This will put one
furrow, or trip, In every middle, and
''side" perfectly both sides of every al
ternate row and STIR the entire surface
Of the field excepting a narrow strip Of
only few inches on each side Of every
alternate row, and each man and horse
will go over not less than 10 acres day.
Second plan: Side the east Tor west,
either) side Of every row. blowing right
and left" This also puts furrow or
trip in every middle and stirs the entire
surface of the field, excepting strip Of q
few inches on the west side Of every row,
and each man and horse will also &C.
complish not less than 10 acres in day.
In week the process may. be repeated,
this time alternating the rows or sides
Of rows. If the first plan be adopted.
run around" the rows that were left be-
fore; if TIE second plan be adopted, side
the west side of each row. By either Of
these plans just twice the area may be
gone over in a day, compared to the
usual two burrows to the row plan ard
the essential object-Sae breaking of the
crust and stirring of the surface layer
Of the soil-will be practically accom-
plished with the expenditure of just
half the time and labor, and enable the
farmer to 60 over his crop twice as
often and make the intervals between
STRINGS just one-half as long.

Valuipg phosphoric acid at 5 cents;
potash, cents; and nitrogen, 15 cents;
the relative commercial values of the
two Gas fertilizers) would be: Pea meal,
$11.0O per ton; cotton meal, $50 90 per
ton.
Or, if we value cotton meal at $50
per ton, then one ton of pea meal would
be worth $7.92, which would be only
about 1919 cents per bushel for the peas.
Che ton of cotton seed meal would be
worth more than twice as much as one
ton Of pea meal-as a fertilizer. Not
only this, but pea meal is even worse
balanced" than cotton meal, since the
former contains such small percentage
OF phosphoric acid.
1t would be very unwiSe t. use sound
pea meal as q fertilizer, although it
would doubtless act we'll as such if
mixed with acid phosphate and potash.
Valuing cotton meal at $500 per tor
1t would be equivalent to selling the
peas at 231a cents per bushel, if you
should use the pea meal as fertilizer
rather than cotton meal. 1t is bad
enough to use cotton meal as fertilizer
(direct); but there is some excuse for the
practice because of the large supply and
the fact that it cannot be safely fed in
large quantities to every kind of live
stock. But there is no sort Of justifica-
ton for using cowpeas as fertilizer so
long as they can be fed,to stock or sold
at 25 cents per bushel, and upwards.
Precisely the same argument applies to
the policy of turning under cowpea
vines instead of converting them into
hay.
AS a general rule Eve cannot now re-
call an exception) it does not pay to use
material for fertilizing that is at the
same time valuable food.

Nitrate of soda is applied as q ton
dressing to small grain and grass. IL
the spring, say in March and April. or
after the plants commence to grow
freely. 1t is usual to apply it Just be.
fore rain, but 1t may be done shortly
after rain CATER the plant foliage dries
off just as well. The nitrate is per-
fectly soluble and dissolves and sinks
into the soil in few hours; and the eff
feet is manifest in few days in the
deepened color and improved vigor of
the plants. On ordinary cultivated
crops-such as corn, cotton, potatoes.
ETC., it may be either applied in the sid
ing burrows, or dropped ON the surface
near the growing plants and worked in
with plow, hoe or rake. 1t is especially
adapted for use in the kitchen or flower
garden, around tomato, cabbage, melon,
or other plants.
On small grain and grass (not clover)
from 30 to 100 pounds per acre is the
usual dose; certainly not more than 100
pounds at any one time but smaller
application may be made within 8 or 4
weeks.
Nitrate OF soda is one of the very few
fertilizing substances that may be prof
itably applied after q crop has com.
menced to grow. 1t is especially valua
BILE and convenient in the kitchen, gar
den and among the flowers. It is a
clean, white, inodorous salt, and
can be handled by lady without
danger or disgust. One tablespoonful
dissolved in three or four gallons of wa.
ter is an excellent liquid fertilizer for
pot and house plants. causing larger
blooms and more brilliant colorlng. 1t
costs at retail about $50 ton, and 3
or cents Pr pound by the few pounds.
1t contains no fertilizing ingredient
but nitrogen. Of which about l6 Der
cent are present.

The Harrow as a CuItivator.
BY THE DIRECTOR /

AAiA- DAiet-N-NN
/ AS al Implement for use in preparing
land for Planting and for covering in
small grains and grass seeds, the har-
row Is used TO some extent by Georgia
farmers. But even for these purposes
1t is not used to the extent that is desir-
able. The harrow should as rule, al
ways follow the plow, either immedi-
ately or within few days. when break
ing upland. When field is plowed in
the fail, or during the winter, the sur
face may be narrowed two or three
times at intervals of two or three weeks,
to great advantage in improving the
mechanical condition of the soil Such
occasional STRINGS break the crust that
forms after each rain and permit the
free entrance and circulation Of the air,
which facilitates chemical changes that
depend on the presence of air and thus
Improve the productive quality of the
SOIL
But it is the use of the harrow as a
cultlvatlng implement we are now con
slderlng. Experience and observation
teach that there is no cultivation
that the crop may receive that is
more beneticial-in proportion to the
time required-than two or three broad
cast borrowings of crop of corn or cot
ton during the very early stages Of
growth. II field of cotton was not
narrowed just before planting it may be
done to great advantage Immediately
after finishing the planting, but espec-
tally within day or two after heavy
rainfall. 1t is not necessary to wait for
the cotton to "come up" On the con-
trary, the narrowing under such cir.
cumstances CATER heavy rainfall) will
not only cause the plants to come up
more promptly, but also to grow off
more vigorously.
Sometimes the conditions at planting
are very favorable and good stand is
secured without rain. Then a heavy
rainfall occurs and crust will soon
form on the surface and this crust will
be filled with the young grass or its
terminating seeds. This is just the
time for the harrow, and there Is no
treatment of a field of young cotton
that is so quickly done and so effective
in its results.
1t is by no means necessary to run
the harrow along With the rows. 1t
may be drawn directly across the rows,
or diagonally, or along the rows. Nor
is there any danger of destroying 'the
stand if plenty of seed have been
used.
A suitable harrow for the purpose is
one that has straight teeth slanting
backward a harrow as the Thomas
Smoothing Harrow, or the Evans
Smoothing Harrow. AS a rule we pre-
fer to use one section, with one mule;
attached; but on smooth, level land a
double OF triple harrow may be advan-
tageously used. A single section, spread.
ing or feet, will accomplish very
easily 10 to IL acres in day.
By this method of narrowing broad.
cast the entire surface may be stirred in
a very short time, and the necessity TO,
blowing may be postponed for week
OF more, without detriment to the grow
ing young crop, but with advantage.

CALLS FOR A NEW DEAL
Philadelphia Editor Proposes to Discard
Both Watson and SeWali.


PhiladeHphi Pa. Dot. 1.-The Amer
lean of this week will print an editorial

Which, or NeNher?" in which it calls
on both these gentlemen On the interest
of the election Of Bryan to withdraw in
order that Chairman Jones may name a
candidate who VIII be acceptable to all
interests.
Mr.. Baker writes: Bryan is accept
able to all. But Sewall is not. Neither
is Watson. We impugn neither the
Americanism of Mr. SewaH nor Mr..
Watson, but neither is recognized by all
parties as the man for the crisis. Mr..
Sewall is not acceptable to the Popu-
lists. The Democrats will not take Mr..
Watson. Then what are we TO do?
We answer: Take them both down.
Put I'D a cadidate acceptable TO all
Americans.
Such a man can certainly be found.
Who that man is, is not for us 20 say.
1t is not for Democrats or PopuiistS or
bimetalhc Republicans. The man for
the place must not be a candidate OF
any party; he must be the candidate OF
all. 1t is for the trusted leaders of our
wage earning classes. IN union with the
leaders of the Democratic and Populist
Parties and bimetallic Republicans to
say who that man shall be. The cleo
ton Is only five weeks off but there Is
yet time enough to take down both
Messrs. Sewan and Watson and put
UP new man VINO will stand for all
Americans. II this is done. nothing
