Rhubarb Plants.-Rhubarb plants may
be safely set both in fall and spring, but
cred with earth to prevent heaving and
exposure OF the roots during winter, for
rhubarb, though very hardy plant, will
not endure rapid alterations Of freezing
and thawing when exposed to the air,
and is, therefore. not well adapted for very
moist soils In a cold climate. What is
wanted in rhubarb culture is an early,
rapid and vigorous leaf growth, with the
accompanying large and juicy leaf stalks

Athens, Ca. Sept. lS-The University of
Georgia opens Wednesday morning.
Chancellor Boggs is satisfied there will
be an attendance of three hundred this
year. He has sent out more catalogues
and answered more letters of inquiry this
summer than he has ever done since his
connection with the university. The at
tendance would be much more than three
hundred but for the hard times. There
are numbers Of young men who have sig
nihed their intense desire to attend the
university, but are not able to do so on
account of lack OF funds. Chancellor
Boggs can give them no aid from the
Brown fund as the income from that fund
has already been apportioned to a num-
Der OF young men. He is very DESTROYS
that wealthy men in Georgia and else
where who wish TO help deserving young
men should come forward with loans to
be repaid by the young men after gradu
atom.
The professors are all on hand ready for
good work. Several improvements in
the different departments OF the univer-
sity will be made this year in conform
cellor and the resolutions Of the board OF
trustees. Especial attention is to be paid
to the agricultural department. and q

Cnttnn HILL Ashes.

If any Of our readers know Of any cot
ton oil mills that are converting their hulls
into ashes we would be GLAD to be inform
ed Of the address of the mills. we sus-
pect that all, or nearly all. find better
demand for the hubs for cattle feeding or
mulching, than for the ashes to be used
as a fertilizer. AS a mineral manure for
fruit trees and other purposes there is
nothing superior to the ashes, In fact, we
know of nothing at all equal to them. A
mixture OF ashes and ground bone is sim
ply perfection.

Can YOU give me an analysis of pine

were made chiefly from pine wood, but l

oak l shall use these in separate rows so

difference between the vines of sofa

r9 For manurial purposes is it best to
urn under the vines while green, or wait
urtil the vines are dead? The land is in
tended for corn to be planted late in Feb
ruary. HAL
A ton of pine straw (short leaf pine)
contains about AZ pounds of potash, 8
mounds of phosphoric acid, 16 pounds of
lime and of magnesia. Long leaf pine
straw is richer in potash than the short
leaf, just twice as much.
The ash of the long leaf, or Georgia pine,
is quite rich in potash, containing from IA
to 10 per cent of this mineral element.
Old field pine contains only about per
cent. of potash. The ash of the yellow
pine contains also about per cent. of
phosphoric acid. over 50 per cent. is lime,
ranging from 80 to 65 per cent. The ash
of old field pine has over 65 per cent. Of
lime, and is about as rich in phosphoric
acid as the long leaf, viz about per cent.
There are a great many analysis of pine
ashes, and they vary greatly, but those
we have given you are doubtless fair
approximation.
You are doing a good thing in thus pre-
pairing for your Irish potatoes, but we
would not advise you to rely upon the
straw and ashes or lime exclusively, but
use also at the proper time some complete
fertilizer. If at all practicable while put
ting in the straw and ashes put also 200 or
FOL 800 pounds of ground hpne-"bone dust"

For the sake of the comparison pun up

there is very little difference in the two
vines, but the SOFA bean is credited with
more potash than the cow pea Practical
ly there is little difference, however.

an die upon the land and turn under Just
prior to planting time. Land that will not
be planted before February should not be

Seeds - Preserving From
WeavfIs.


ID. have saved quite lot of butter
bean and wax bean seeds. What shall 1
do to preserve them perfectly from the
weevil. Is it better to keep in the hulls
or shelled? c.
Shell the beans and dry well in the sun.
While still warm put into Jars or cans
with close cover. Put table spoonful
of spirits of turpentine in a vial and with
out corking it set in the vessel, which close
as tightly as possible, and let it be ex-
posed to the sun for several days. An
other remedy, and perhaps a little surer,
is bisulphide of carbon used in like man
ner as the turpentine. AS we have used
the turpentne invariably with success we
would advise it's use as there is no danger
in it. The fumes of the carbon are very
poisonous and care should be taken that
1t is not inhaled. IT is great insecticide
though, and where one is careful can be
used to great advantage frequently.

bug scared to death by darAies three?
Our esteemed correspondent, ]. F. c.,
encloses US letter received from friend
several weeks ago, in which he describes
the very novel method of Kidding a field
of destructive insects. In our younger
days a very common belief, by no means
confined to the sons of Ham, was that
peppers would not thrive unless the plant
er gave each plant a sound cursing, as
it was set out. There may be some in
sects even that could not withstand the
racket of three or four little negroes
encouraged to do their best in the matter
Of yelling. Who knows? We must eau
ton E. ]. T. not to come to hasty con-
clusion, but to repeat his experiment
at least two or three times Let the let
ter speak for itself: Ten days or so ago
1 wrote you that your new bugs had
found me out and We're destroying my
soja-beans, and asked for a remedy. You
replied that you had no particular rem
edy but that they had attacked your
sweet potatoes, which, after being hoed
over, the bugs left the field Acting on
your suggestion, 1 turned the cultivators
into my beans, but the wretches did not
seem to care for that interference. l had
read somewhere that they could be gotten
rid of If they were switched and well yell
ed at. 1t seemed ridiculous but l got
three or four little negroes, each armed
with a brush and had them brush the
bugs off the beans into the alleys, and
then we'll switched all the while the
little nigs were berating them with loud
voices. The bugs have disappeared. 1t
is no trouble to brush them from the beans,
simply touch the bush and they run
swiftly in every direction. AS the switches
could not have destroyed one in fifty,
take it they were scared to death
can find them nowhere about the farm.

The average contents of first-class cot
ton seed meal is as follows: Nitrogen, 7.O4
potash, 2.S2; phos acid, 3.25. The meal by
itself is not considered the best fertilizer
for pecan or fruit trees generally. If you
think the soil needs additional nitrogen,
you can use some meal to supply it, but
it is well to mix it with some mineral fer
tilizer. A very good mixture would be
cotton seed meal, 500 pounds; cotton hull
ashes, 500 pounds, and acid phosphate, 1000
pounds. Along In the winter apply FIVE
pounds to each tree, broadcasting it evenly
all about the tree and out in every direc-
ton to a distance of 1920 feet, raking
or narrowing it in. In the spring you
can apply an additional FIVE pounds If
you think it advisable There is nothing
better for nut or other trees than ground
raw bone, 6 to 10 pounds to a tree. If
mulching material is to be had readily or
reasonably, it would be a great help to
the trees to apply a mulch before summer
sets in.

The man who goes to find the North Pole must be strong, and brave, and healthy. His is a dangerous and health trying task. His nerves must be steady to keep his vessel from wreck. His blood must be pure and rich to withstand ex- posture and fatigue.
 These things are equally as important to the man who stops at home and works, for death and disaster are not confined to the Arctic regions. Steady nerves pure blood and healthy vigor are essential to health and success anywhere in the world. Thousands of men do not seem to realize this and go about half alive and miserable just for lack of a little of the proper medicine. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is designed to help them. It is a blood vitalizer-a nerve strengthener. It should be taken by every man or woman who is not exactly as well, and vigorous as he or she ought to be. It produces strong, sound, solid flesh = brings springiness back to the step-brightness to the eyes-cheerful- ness to the mind. No medicine in the world ever had such a wonderful record of success.
