THE SINGLE MARKET.


WashinEton's Product Secures n
New Lease OF Life.
The Northwest Lumberman. printed at
Chicago, in speaking OF the single mar
ket. says:
Washington red cedar shingles. after
having been in the dumps all winter and
through early spring, seem to have secured
new lease of life Reports from the mills
indicate a much improved demand, and
prices have appreciably advanced. Especial
reports OF increased requirement and sales
come from Kansas City and other Missouri
river markets. and from Buffalo as an
Eastern center OF distribution. In the
Northwestern markets. as we'll as those on
Lake Erie. the supply of white cedar and
pine shingles is less than for several years.
and though the demand. in this sleepy sea-
son for the general lumber trade. is not so
urgent as it might be. it is manifesting
rather more life than pertains to other
forms of forest products. The lack of
white cedar and pine shingles is giving an
opportunity for red cedar to come In to
fill such void as there is. On the Coast
II is said that one of the first effects of adj
rancihg prices for shingles is correspond
ing rise in prices of bolts, which helps to
strengthen the prices of shingles It is

Land Struck by Lightning.

QUESTION. What will restore land
that has been struck by lightning, and
how long will it take?
ANSWER. There is prevalent belief
that where the ground is struck by
lightning it is rendered sterile and I'M
productive for years. This is an error
which any one by close observation can
detect. When a portion of a growing
crop, such as cotton, is struck by light
ming, all the plants which receive
share of the electric current are. of
course, killed, and it Is possible, and
even probable, that chemical changes
take place in the ground receiving the
current that render it barren and I'M
productive for a short time. This con-
dition has been noticed by every farmer.
l suppose, but continued observation
would also have shown that the stricken
spot gave no evidence of sterility the
following year BY that time, what
ever harm had been done to the land by
the lightning, will have been remedied
by the forces of nature, which are con-
stantly at work, and the ground will be
restored to Its original fertility. State

Ringing Pigs.

QUESTION. Please give me some in.
formation regarding the ringing of
pigs. What should be the size of the
ring, and of what material should it be
made? How long can the ring remain
in the nose without injury?
ANSWER. Rings are put in the noses
of pigs or hogs to prevent their roofing.
The ring should be placed in the tough
cartilage at the top of the nose, through
which hole must be punched to re-
ceive it. The ring should be from 1
to ~ inches in diameter, and should
be made Of either steel or copper. 1t
can remain in the nose of the hog dur
ing its life without injury. Should you
turn the animal on a field of potatoes or
groundpeas, where you want him to
root the ring must be removed. Where
hogs are kept on grass or clover through
the summer they should always be
ringed, as otherwise they do much
damage by roofing for worms or grass
roots. State Agricultural Department.

Buffalo Bur.

QUESTION 7 enclose plant for iden-
LITIGATION. 1t came up i'll my garden,
where planted paper of lettuce seed.
1t is something like the horse nettle, as
you see. Is it good for anything?
ANSWER -The weed is what is known
as the Buffalo Bur (solanum rostra-
tum). Its native home is the western
plains north of Mexico, whence it has
travelled slowly towards the east, until
now it is found in every state in the
Union, though still quite rare in Geor-
gia This plant differs from the horse
nettle in having yellow flowers, instead
of white, and bears thorny burs, in
stead of smooth, yellow berries like the
nettle. 1t is an annual and propagated
only by the seed. which are not as nu-
merous as in most troublesome weeds
1t is absolutely good for nothing and
you should destroy every plant you see,
before the seeds mature and are carried
to other places by sticking to any ami
NAL that may brush against them. State

Wire Fencing.

QUESTION. i want to put up consid-
cradle wire fence this fall. and l want
your advice as to posts have a choice
between pine. poplar, magnolia, sweet
gum and oak; which is best for the pur-
pose? What is the best treatment to
give the posts in order to preserve them
from decay? Will small trees cut in
proper lengths last as long as large
trees sawed or split for the purpose?
ANSWER. - Among the woods yo1
mention. good heart pine is long
ways the best. If you could possibly
get cedar posts they would be the best.
but aside from cedar there is in South
Georgia no better wood for posts than
the heart of sound yellow pine. A
good and economical treatment to make
the posts more durable is to apply to
them heavy coat of tar. covering ev-
cry portion of the post that goes in the
ground, and for or inches above the
ground. Better still, if you could boil
in tar for the space of half an hour the
ground end of your posts they would be
rendered practically proof against rot.

Firstclas, Oo,noost Heaps.

QUESTION. In the intervals of leisure
from more pressing work, l am anxious
to put up some firstclass compost heaps
for use when my spring crops are
planted. / have tried mixing kainit
and superphOsphate with the manure
with success, what | want to know is,
will caustic lime be equally effective in
helping TO preserve the manure from
wasting until such time as l may wish
TO use it?
ANSWER -One objection to using
caustic lime in a manure or compost
heap is that after fermentation begins
the lime has a tendency to cause the es-
cape of ammonia. This might be, in a
measure, prevented by covering the
heap closely with earth and packing
down. Lime also tends to convert the
available nitrogen of manure into less
desirable forms, and although, after
the lime is applied to the soil. this loss
is i'll measure made up for by the
power of the lime to promote. nutrif1ca-
ton in the soil, we do not think it
fully compensates for the first loss.
Lime should never be used in connec-
tion with superphosphate, because 1t
will convert its phosphoric acid into in
soluble form Therefore we would ad.
wise the continued use of the superphos-
phate and kaiuit rather than the lime.
The kainit will arrest the formation Of
ammonia and the superphosphate will
prevent its escape. They also supply
potash and phosphoric acid, in which
the manure is somewhat deficient. 1t
is much more important, however. that
the manure heap be properly construo'
ted, than that we invest in expensive
materials to prevent the escape of its
valuable plant food elements. In build
ing the manure heap, if we are careful
TO exclude the air as far as possible
and to keep the moisture uniform, that
is not having the heap too wet at one
time and too dry at another. we will
conserve the valuable fertilizing con.
stituents of the mass and enable the
manure to go through uniform fer
mentation, which will not only increase
its own value, but prevent it from act
ing injuriously to the soil. The ques-
ton of properly managing farm yard
manure is one that has received the
most careful study, and it is found that
the most effective methods are the sim
plest, those which involve the smallest
intelligent expenditure of time money
and labor. Any unnecessary handling
is expensive and we should plan so as
to secure a maximum return at mini
mum cost in all the items State Agri.
