About Wheat Culture,

and if SO, what results"
g VIII potash keep wheat from rustinE?
If so, how much should | use to the acre,
to Get the best results?
3, Would waste salt be of any value to d
wheat crop?
Answer, We have never sown wheat or
pea stubhIe after a previous crop of wheat.
But it would doubtless do well enough. pro-
vided the wheat be fertilizing. Rotation Of
crops is hest-in the long run-a!though it
may he set aside occasionally to proft, ac-
COrding to circumstances.
2. No. The rust" of wheat is 2 totally
different disease from thas niight of cotton
commonly called cotton Tust." Wheat rust
IS dependent chiefly on atmospheric con-
ditjons-heat, most ure, etc; while the So
called cotton rust is believed to be depend
ent on the soil conditions We know of no
remedy at all for rust in wheat: none has
been discovered. The only preventious are
two, viz: % TO select variety Of wheat

Sowing Wheat.

J. d. Mckinney, Bellville, S. C..I want
to know how to best prepare a heId for
wheat which NaS SoWn to- peas alter wheat
was cut of. The pea vines were cut OF tor
feed. vii! it be best to turn the pea Slup-
bic at once, or wait until | SOW wheat ana
prepare the land with II cutaWay harrow.
What kind of fertilizer will be best to use
under Wheat-that is to be soWE on pea
stubbeH We sow wheat here from tho
18th of November to the 18th of December,
Answer-Wc would turn under the stub
bic at once, so as to give more time for
the vegetable matter to rot and the SOL
to become some what compact at the sur
face. The turning under need not be deep
or than just to cover the stubble well. We
have usually recommended as fertilizer
for wheat Cor cats) the following:
MurI2tc Of pOtaSh........ 80. 90 pounds
(or 2o0 pounds kainiD.
If the stubble Is quite heavy, the meal
might properly be reduced to 300 pounds
We further advise that the amount OF
meal applied at the time of sowing the seed
be reduced to about go or fiye-eiGhths 0i
the stated amount, and 1t top dressing be
applied in March Of one-half az much nj
trate Of soda as the amount Of the meal

Barren CoWpeas.


J. Hugglns, NewDeru, Ala.--About three
years ago / bought some "Unkuown Peas"
Last year ana the year before / planted
them ana made a splendid crop of peas and
vines. This year | again planted them
about the Ism of June. | have fine vines
but not Il pod Of peas on eight or ten acres
VIII you obiiEe me by telling me. If you
can. the cause Of their not bearing this
year? We had heavy rains here from July
18th to August 10th.
Answer--We are not able to say, but We
presume that some Kind of blight may have
caused the failure: or it may have been
caused by the exceedingly wet weather
There is a disease that sometimes attacks
coWUeas when they have been planted two
or three years on the same land called
roOt-rot. The disease also attacks cotton
and also sweet potatoes II may be the
cause. The cure for 1t is not to plant the
land in cowpeas or cotton or potatoes for
two or three years

Hay Making on Piney Wood Soil.

Z. 4. Mason. Sparta, Ga.--Do YOU think
a man could make nay raising profitable
on piney woods land that produces 800
pounds seed cotton per acre with leo pounds
Of guano and ordinary cultivation? II so,
would you consider it wise for a renter
OF such land to discard cotton and Cult-
vate hay instead? What is the best sort
Of hay to raise on such land? The results
Of cotton raising are unsatisfactory.
AnsWer--We do not think you would fnd
much, If any, money in growing hay on
such land with only 100 pounds of Euano
per acre. There would not. however be
much loss. Hay making to be profitable,
requires a good rich soil. We think #
would be better practice to fertilze liberal
ly and SOW in oats. and then follow the
oats with COW peas, also fertilizer, and
make the vines into hay. BY this course
you will make more and better hay. and
at the same time improve your soil. You
should feed the pea hay to horses and cat
tie and sell the product in the form Of
butter. beef. etc. Selling hay off the land,
especially grass hay, IS very cXnaustng
to the land and is not advised except I'M
der the most favorable conditions. Get rid
Of the idea that putting 100 pounds of
guano on an acre is fertIlIzing the soil; 1t
is simply "whettng the appetite" for more.
You will not find any other crop much.
If any, more satisfactory than cotton unless
you produce three or four times as much
per acre as 500 pounds of cotton.

RlInture In Colt.

W. S, Keith. Gal have a colt that
snagged Itself about Il year ago. as
thought. On examining II | find that it Is
ruptured VIII you please tell me a cure?
The rupture is not quite as large as your
fist.
Answer-You fail to state where the rup-
tura is-whether at navel WmbiliCal hernia)
or at scrotum Gnquinal hernia. But We
presume at the navel. Gently and carefully
push back the contents of the bag into the
belly; then tie a small cord tightly aroung
the neck of the bag, close to the body, and
let 1t remain until the bag drops off. Or,
nut wooden clamps on as close as possible
to the body and let them be worn until the
bag drops off.

Quinsy of Hogs.

IT. 0. Long. Slverstrcet S. C.-My hogs
have been dying for the last three or four
years with a disease that | haven't been
able to diagnose, neither have | been able
to prevent cure. They get deathly sick
and draw their breath very short and
| have been treating this disease for ch0l-
era with various kinds OF cholera medi-
Cnes without success.
AnsWer-You description OF the symp-
toms is exceedingly measer. but We do
not think it can be hog cholera. You do
not say whether any cases recover or get
well. II SO, 1t is pretty certainly not chol-
era As far as your description goes 1t
describes the symptoms of quinsy. or in
Hammati0n Of the tonslS, a common S

ter says these warty gro"ths are caused ny

Is, very contagious. Separate the well from

Giant Reggar Weed.

r. NJ. Ray, Carlos. ~ C.-I have been
experimenting with giant bcggar weed for
the last two years, and | find it does well
here and would like to ask you IL the
giant is the same that Is grown in south
Georgia and Florida, is there n smaller
variety? l also wish to ask some one
that has plenty Of 1t to write me their
prices on unhulled seed per bushcl; also,
# it will grow on land that IS not plowed
once 4 year?
Answer-We know Of but one species Of
begear weed that is called giant" and that
is the species crown in south Georgia ana
Florida. The scientific name is desmodium
moilo. Seedsmcn in Augusta, Ga, and
perhaps in other places. sell the cleaned
(hulrd) seed at about % cents per pound.
A Florida gentleman informs us that the
price OF hulled seed in that state IS tho
same as above and OF unhulled seed j.
cents per pound. II tine ground is not
cultivated during the spring and early

How To Destroy Bermuda Grass.

j. NJ. Shelby. Bartlett. Tenn.-I would
like to learn what are the best methods
to kill out or destroy bermuda grass. 1t
is rapidly taking possession OF the rich
lands of our country.
Arswer-We know of but one practicable
method Of subduing bermuda grass, and
that is to smother it out with other crops.
For instance, ploW up shallow in the fdll

In middle Georgia the effort to actually
destroy, or extermnate, a well set field
of bermuda grass is rarely made. We have
seen fields that had been in bermuda pas
ture for years. broken up shallow in fall
winter narrowed several times and
then planted in cotton in April. The grass
Is only temporarily sublued, so as to per-

soon take possession of the field if not
often and well cultivated. After cotton
is laid by in July the bermuda grass grows
luxuriantly until fall. only partially check

on subduing or eradicating bermuda grass
