SALT AS A FERTILIZER.

The use of salt will not prevent in

sufficient quantities. to repeL the worms
would prove injurious to the crop
Where beneficial, salt acts rather indi
rectly than as a direct manure. It
attracts moisture and helps to bind the
particles of soil, thus enabling it to hold
water much more retentively, and en-
abling it therefore to raise water by
capillary attraction from below in
greater quantities. Salt, moreover,
sometimes assists to make inert plant
food which is present in the soil avail
able to the crop.
Salt is not itself tax en- up by plants
of most kinds in such quantities that
it becomes necessary to apply it in or
der to keep up the supply. Salt is pres
entin moderate quantities in all soils, or
at least its constituents, soda and chic
rine, are present and commonly in
amounts fully equal to the require
ments of our crops. A possible excep-
tion is the mangel wurzel, which often
appears to be benefited by application
of salt.
1t appears to be possible to get all the
indirect benefits which sometimes fol

soils by an application of muriate of
potash, which in it's chemical proper
ties is very similar to salt, In other
words. by an application of muriate of

moisture more largely and holds and
conducts water to greater extent.
Now if, instead of salt, we employ
the muriate of potash we get the i'm.

WHAT CREDIT COSTS.

pensive luxury credit is2 1t doubles
the expense of book keeping, doubles
correspondence, multiplies worry
many times over, often destroys conf

makes mischief of all kinds without
limit. More than all, many of these
things enter into the cost of nearly
everything which is bought and sold,
and even the caeh buyer, with all his
discounts of, pays enhanced prices be-
cause Of the cost of other peoples credit

dried it can be stored for breaking and
hetcheling out in winter if this last
process is done on the farm now. This
is done in a coarser, heavier break
than that used for fax. The fiber ie

This fiber is used in making mum

If enough capital were directed to
ward this industry in North Carolina
and a price could be guaranteed for
the fiber by parties who would perhaps
manufacture the fiber raised here near
the farms where it was produced, it
may become quite an industry here,
but without such an assurance we

patches infested by them is to plant
some squash vines to serve as traps.
The squash vine borer is also an ex
tremely Injurious insect to the squash
tribe. The worm eats into the woody
portion of the stems and does especial
damage when near the roots. Ordinary
insecticides are of no value against
this insect when once it has entered
the vine and repellents are also prac.
tically useless. The only measures
that have been found OF particular
value are in brief: to avoid planting
the infested ground; to plant early
varieties for the protection of late
squashes; to harrow infested fields late
in the fall and plow deep in the spring
or reverse this operation to prevent
moths from Issuing; to encourage the
growth Of secondary roots by covering
the vines at the joints with earth.
In fighting the cucumber be- tie it is
stated that a weak solutions of Paris
green is effective in destroying the in
sect when on the surface of the leaves.
Paris green is also effective when ap

Atwood, of the Virginia Experiment
Station, uses kerosene very success
fully. When the beetle first appears
he sprays tha hills early in the morn

hidden under clods and around the

to thoroughly drench the soil. Sugshot
and py rethrum are also effective. For
the destruction of the garden flea
hopper kerosene emulsion is recon-
mended.
This bulletin, written by Nr. F. Fl

is occupied IN elaborate descriptions,

there will be much demand for it

is manufactured for this purpose in

The Department Of Agriculture is
preparing to publish a document OF
about 100 pages on some Of the injuri
Gus insects to garden and orchard,
and of giving the best known remedies
and treatments. This should be espe
cially useful, coming at time OF the
year when every BODY is garden plant
ing and must prepare to combat the
inroads of squash and cucumber bugs,
SQUASH borers, melon worms, cabbage
worms, flea hoppers and many others
which are prone to contest the posses
sion of the farmers garden. The bull
letin is entirely too lengthy to even at
tempt to sum marize, but it goes into
the life history, i. e., the time of first
appearance, mating time, length Of time
required to hatch eggs, etc., OF some
thirty common injurious insects.
Among others the common squash bug
is described. This bug, especially the
adult. is usually resistent to insecti
cides. A spray strong enough to kill
the mature insect will at the same
time destroy the vine. The best RENE
dies that can be suggested for this bug
are the repellents, such as land plaster
saturated with turpentine or kerosene,
planting an excess of seed to distribute
the attack and particularly clean land.
The bugs can be trapped by means OF
pieces Of board or bark placed on the
ground in the garden. The bug prefers
squash to other plants OF this family,

CAN HEMP BIZ GROWN IN THIy
STATR7
The Opinion of the Agriculturist of the
Experiment Station.

The Opinion of the Agriculturist of the
Experiment Station.
| Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
We have been asked a few times
about the advisability Of growing hemp
in North Carolina. There is no doubt
but that this old cultivated crop can
be successfully grown here.
The question is more one of market
and freight rates after the problem OF
breaking and hetcheling out the fibre
is solved.
The crop is as easily grown as oats.
1t needs only to be sown and narrowed
and until harvest time it takes care OF
itself. 1t is not particularly exhaustive
but should be soWn on rich land and If
manured with chemicals should have
as heavy an application as the land
needs to produce 10 or Is cwt. of fibre
The Kentucky Station has given
some attention to man nuring hemp
lands and has proposed a commercial
manure to contain per cent. nitro
gen, 10 per cent. potash and per
cent. phoephoric acid. It would be
well for growers of experimental plats
to remember this.
We cannot advise farmers to go into
hemp culture. Hemp may be high
just now, but it is not very likely to
remain so for very long. We under
stand that some European crops in
1896 and 1897 were very low and the
Philippines cannot be counted on for
1898 or 1899 crops. Foreign competi
tion may therefore be abated enough
for some recovery, but the United
States Statistician gave rather gloomy
outlook for this industry in the last
census report. Nevertheless in an ad-
dress by a gentleman interested in and
familiar with the industry in New
York State, it is placed in a better
light.
When the crop is raised after flower
ing, the flo owering plants should be cut
Just as the flowers are falling off. This
part is stacked in bundles until the
seed is nearly ripe when the crop is cut
with bush scythes or cradles and tied
in bundles and cured for the seed.

Siame, who has been giving some
sensible and practical articles to Breed
ers' Gazette on the management of
swine, says:
Another thing that have thor
oughly learned by dear experience is
the vital Importance of keeping the
youngsters out of the mud One week
of cold, rainy weather in a mud pen,
even if they do have a dry, warm
sleeping place, will put piggy back at
least two weeks in growth. Keep them
out of the mud, especially in cool
weather, even if to do this you are
obliged to confine them to q board
floor. But the ideal way is to have
your lots 80 arranged that the pigs can
have the run of a grass lot when the
weather is good. and can be readily
confined to the board floor when it is
bad. The mud bath may have it's ad
vantages for mstured hogs, especially
those that are infested with vermin
but don't want any Of it for my pigs,
neither do want it mixed with the
slop so that the pigs will be compelled
to eat it. In fact, consider mud bad
very bad-for pig, whether taken
internally or applied externally"

in addition one OF the most valuable
and most frequently deficient elements
of plant tood-potash. Especially is
it found that light, sandy soils often
contain too little Of this element. Ap-
ply muriate of potash at the rate Of
300 or $50 pounds to the acre. Put this
on in the fall if possible, but do not
hesitate to apply it in early spring. Z
should prefer to spread it after plow-
ing and harrow in.
In place of the muriRte Of potash it
may possibly be expedient, once at
least, to apply kainit to each of the
fields. This contains considerable
common salt as we'll as potash. 1t
costs about SIS ton, while the muriate
of potash costs about $40. The kainit,
however, must be applied in consider
ably larger amounts To get the same
amount of potash as would be con-
tRined in 300 pounds Of muriate of pot
ash it will be necessary to use about
1900 pounds of kainit. The immediate
benefit to the soil would undoubtedly
be greater in the case of the kainit than
with the muriate OF potssh.-W. P.

cow PEAS FOR HOGS AND HENS

L. W. Lightly, writing in the Ma
tional Stockman, says: "a neighbor
of mine asked me to get him some seed
(cow peas) to SOW for soiliDg, but an
extra wet season gave plenty of pas
ture and the COW peas were allowed to
ripeD, whereupon the fowls started to
harvest them, and he told me that his
chickens never laid 80 many eggs in
the same length of time as they did
while the COW peas lasted, and right in
the fall, too, when chickens generally
stop laying and leisurely change their
clothes and make up their toilet. Eggs
were a good price, and the crop of co "
peas was the most profitable crop he
raised that season, and he did not have
the trouble to harvest it either. The
Kafir corn he harvested for a winter
feed for the poultry, and reports it a
good thing, but by no means equal to
the peas as an reproducing food. If
you turn lot of pigs into field of
COW peas when they begin to ripen,
you will be astonished to find lot Of
hogs in a remarkably short time"

Succulent foods-silage or roots-are
generally believed to be highly advan
tageous for fattening lambs. The ami
mails can be kept much healthier than
when tattened on dry food. In an ex
pertinent at the New York Station no
lots Of five lambs each, about eight
months old, were fed alike except that
one lot had corn silsge and the other
hay. In nineteen weeks the five fed
on silage made a total gain of 1921
pounds, while those fed on hay gained
124 pounds. The silage ration was esti-
mated to be the cheaper. At the Michi
gan Station corn and hay were com
pared with corn, roots and hay. Ten
sheep on the former ration gained 32S
pounds in fifteen weeks, while ten
others fed on corn, roots and hay
gained 397 pounds. The results of the
government experiments show that
while there is not much difference in
the pre- fit from a succulent ration over
a dry ration, there is a decided advan
tage in favor Of the former because of
the decreased risk of deaths due to
dige stive arrangements.
