Outlook Is More Encouraging Than

The dairy outlook for 1900 is more en-

confidence. Never before has this state

reaching out for new methods and bet
ter equipment in every branch OF this
great industry. The dairy herds are

that there are yet many poor cows found
In the dairy herds, but the day of the
scrub cow is rapidly passing.
We are finding out that only the best
breeds are worth the keeping, and Geor-
gia Is now putting upon the market
some of the best butter found in the
United States. We were gratifled to
learn at the recent meeting of the Dairy
mems association at Griffin that an ex-
hibit OF Georgia butter won the silver
medal III a contest with the worlds but
ter at the Paris exposition. The butter
was made at the creamery in LAGRANGE.
Elk Governor Hoard of Wisconsin, who
has made .dairying life time business,
was present ut the Griffin meeting, and
delighted his audience of more than 500
dairymen from different sections of our
state, by saying that he could see no
reason why Georgia should not forage to
the front of the dairy states of the
Union
Ii the Georgia legislature will now
give the dairymen an up to-date veteri-
nary surgeon, and make provision for
the enforcement of the dairy laws now

that the codling moth is not attracted
to the light at night. From repeated
experiments know this view of the
matter is not correct. Even when
confined in a glass vessel it makes
great efforts to reach the light.
A curious thing about the larva of
the codling moth is that if placed in
an empty bottle which is corked it
invariably bores into the cork where
it spins it's cocoon.
When several are placed in the
same bottle all of them will be found
after few hours in the cork. Some
of them will bore clear through and
throw some of the chips on the out
side.

September. The stubble was then
turned under very shallow, about
four inches, with a big plow and
narrowed over with cutaway fol-
lowed by a smoothing harrow and
roller. On October 1st, the fertili-
zer was applied broadcast and the
land again worked over with cuta-
way smoothing harrow and roller.
The seed were sown on the 18th of
October, one bushel to the acre, the
variety used being called the Blue
Stem. The seed was Georgia grown.
We worked in the seed with the
cutaway harrow, following with
smoothing harrow and roller, and
lastly narrowed over lightly once
more with smoothing harrow. We
did the best we knew how, and the
results I have told you.
They compare quite favorably
with one of our neighbors who grew
only So bushels of wheat on 10 acres
of unfertilized land, a little over five
bushels to the acre. Of course this
is not fair comparison, as his land
was not as good nor as well prepared; ;
but it goes to show what slipshod
methods will do for a man.
Wheat, like all other crops, re-
quires complete fertilizer that is,
one containing potash, phosphorio
acid and nitrogen. In this case the
nitrogen was supplied by the cow
peas and stable manure and the pot
aah and acid were artif1cially sup
piled.

A Correspondent Asserts That ''There Is
Something In IT, and Proceeds to the De-
fence of His Position.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Much has been said in the columns
of your paper from time to time
about signs-planetary influence.
Astrologers, men who make such
things Ia study and ought to know,
claim that there is such an influence
for good or evil consequences ;and the
fact that it is not generally under
stood is not sufficient proof that
there is ''nothing in it..
There seems to be nothing in cold
of the moon, - 'Enew of the mOn,"
''ight nights" Or "dark nights -
but there is "something in the signs''
just the same, when you understand
how to consider them.
The Zodiac, of which all almanacs
treat, is simply the path over which
the earth travels in it's annual revo-
lutions around the sun. It is divided
into 10 equal parts called 'signs. -
AS the earth travels around the sun
once in IL months, it must pass
through one of these signs each
month, The moon travels around
the earth every month, and there
fore, must pass all the signs each
month. Then it stands to reason
that there must be a time in each
month when the earth and moon are
passing the same sign at the same
time. Here is the danger point
This coincidence of the two planets
passing the same sign at the same
time seems to intensity the effect.
The majority of farmers trim ami
mails when the "signs are in the
feet" Ordinarily they are successful.
Mr.. L. II. Daughtrey is professional
trimmer who uses the same sign, and
he has remarkable success but two
years ago he lost quite & number,
much to his surprise and annoyance.
Mr.. j. II. Darden trimmed at the
same time and lost seven out of 14i
The writer postponed few days and
lost none and had no trouble.
1t seldom happens that this coin
cidence of the two planets falls on
any one sign, and this accounts for
the success ordinary had when the
"sign in the feet is chosen. But
when these losses occurred the coin
cidence occurred when the signs
were in the feet. But bear in mind
that wounds, whether from castra-
ton or otherwise, are just the oppo-
site of life, hence, in planting, you
might find it reasonable to expect
results just the opposition. The
writer is making some experiments
along this line which may aid in
arriving at definite Conclusions.
