To the stock feeder and dairYman
there is nothing more important than
the getting a supply of the protein
part of his ration. Dairymen. espe-
cially buy a great deal of bran and
other food rich in protein for the pur-
pose of balancing their rations. They
have long considered that this is a nee
essary part of their expenses. Then. If
some one would tell them how to get
this expensive protein without cost, but
in the growing of it to get enough
benefit to the soil to pay all the cost
of the feed he should properly be re-
garded as a benefactor. Now this is
just what the experiment stations have
been doing. Some years ago expert
ments were made at the Delaware sta
ton, in which ii was shown that COW
pea hay and ensilage could profitably
take the place of purchased bran and
other protein foods. 1t was shown
that COWS that had for some time been
getting the protein of their food from
bran. were changed from the bran to
COW pea hay containing a similar per-
Centage of protein. and they kept up in
the milk production as we'll as when fed
bran, and later when returned to the
bran they fell Off in milk yield More
recently the Tennessee station has
been experimenting in the same line.
The following is the table they give of
the digestible matter in the legume
hay, per ton.

GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
BY S. A. COOK.

/ made to consume in the form of alfalfa
and red clover a much protein as
would be needed for the best produc-
ton. Alfalfa and red clover can be
grown all over the North. and alfalfa.
too. all over the South. But in the
South, for feeding purposes. the COW
pea has a value greater than alfalfa
per ton, though on limited areas of
very fertile soil the alfalfa will make
the heavier crop during the season.
But while all these legumes are col
lectors Of nitrogen from the air. they
are all of them the greediest consum-
ers of the mineral matters in the soil,
and to be able to do their best both in
the production of forage and in the fix
alton of nitrogen they must have an
abundant supply of phosphoric acid
and potash available in the soil for
their use. Supplied with these they
will do the rest. Hence we see that
the real place for the use of the com
mercial fertilizer is on these croOs,
which through their growth, not only
feed the stock, but feed the land, and
through the feeding of the stock enable
the farmer to increase his manurial ac-
emulation and get more and more
Independent of the fertilizer manufac-
turer. The great lack of most of our
soils is phosphoric acid. but it is found
that when this is applied alone there
is not near the result unless a suffi-
cient supply of potash is also given
Alfalfa and red clover are both helped
by an application of lime, but on the
other hand the COW pea is injured in
its growth by the direct application of
lime; why so, we cannot say, but
know it to be a fact. Hence even In
the red clay soils of the South, where
there is store of potash in the form
of an insolube silicate. it is advisable
to apply to the COW pea a proper per-
centage of potash with the phosphoric
acid. For the best results on the sandy
soils of the South. where the COW pea
riourishes best. and where the soil IS
more deficient in potash than the red
clay soils. ii will pay well to apply to
the COW pea crop 400 pounds per acre
of acid phosphate and muriate of pot
ash mixed at rate of five parts of the
acid phosphate to one part of the mu-
riate. Such an application will give
a heavy crop of forage, and will.
through the greater root development.
increase the amount of nitrogen fixed
in the soil. Thus the stockman and
dairyman can not only get protein for
their cattle ration free, but can actual
ly make a profit in the getting of it.

Athens, Ga, Oct. 25.-There was held
a meeting of the directors of the uni
versity summer school last night, at
which plans for the holding of another
session next summer were discussed.
1t was decided to proceed to get up
the necessary money. There is in bank
a surplus of $1,000 from last years ses-
sion, and it will require a considerable
sum in addition to operate the school
again. A committee consisting of
Messrs. F. NJ. Haprer. B. F. Holder,
Jr.. and T. w. Reed was appointed to
take in hand the matter of securing
the necessary money.
A committee on permanent organiza-
ton was named, consisting of Chan
cellor w. B. Hill. President E. c. Bran
son. Profs. D. Q. Abbott, w H. Bo-
cock and c. M. Smelling. This COM
mittee will report at the next meeting
a plan for the permanent organiza-
ton of the body.

SELLS SEED TO CALIFORNIA.

Columbus Ledger: Hon. Mel Branch
of Augusta has shipped 500 pounds of
the famous Georgia "rattlesnake" wa
termelon seed to California. The Geor-
gia melon in the finest in the world.
1t has the best flavor and is the best
seller. California is great melon
growing state, but the growers recog-
nize the fact that, the Georgia melon
is superior to anything grown in that
state. This fact explains the big de-
mand for seed from the famous Geor-
gia "rattlesnake" watermelon. The
seed retail at 81 a pound. There is
money in other things than cotton for
the Georgia farmers, as Mr. Branch
is demonstrating.

Poultry Keenfnu.

There are two kinds of poultry keep
ing, either of which require nice eco
nomical management to make it sue
cessful One is where eggs and chick
ems are raised for food; the other is
where fancy stock is bred and the
eggs and chickens are sold at fancy
prlces-prices too high to warrant their
being used as food Many have made
a specially of the latter and have
found 1t a money business
though many met with failure sooner
or later Those only succeeded who
were adapted to the business-who
found it congenial
In either case there is demanded sys-
tenn and painstaking. 1t cannot be
conducted in haphazard go-lucky sort
of way. A lazy. careless person would
soon find failure.

The Economical Compost.

We don't hear much about com
posts" and compost-making nowadays.
For very good reason it has gone
out of fashion with all but few farm
ers here and there for whom the prac-
tice is specially adapted. Compost
making entails considerable labor of
kind not very pleasant. Few farmers
have sufficient material and shelter to
justify the practice. 1t is easier and
every way as good to make the com
post directly in the burrows as any
manure may be accumulated for the
purpose.
Any time in November or December
the burrows may be opened and any
lot manure worth using can be hauled
out and distributed in the burrows and
then any mineral matter can be
sprinkled over it in due proportion, the
burrows listed on and the Job of COM
posting is done. This involves less
labor than the plan of mixing under
shelter. The stable manure saved on
the farm goes very little ways at
the best in enriching it any one year.
AS far as it goes it is very good. But
the only extensive or Wholesale" en-
riching of a farm can only be effect
ed with vegetable manure-manure
made from peavines, clover, velvet
beans, vetch, etc. 1t is not necessary
nor even desirable that such manurial
crops should be turned under green. 1t
is a hard thing to do in the first place,
but it is not desirable anyway. Grown
on the soil and then allowed to mature
and die on it, then be turned under,
has been found to be the best method
in the renovation on land in an extern
sive way Whether we call it humus
or manure this vegetable matter pro-
vides the cheapest method of making
land rich. 1t is not likely that bet
ter will be found.

In the older sections of the South
especially there is very little rich land
now in original forest growth. All
the good land worthy of cultivation
has long since been cleared up, and
much of il worn out. Considerable
land has been cleared and re-cleared
of tree growth two or three times since
it was hrst opened to cultivation. Where
it was rolling it has become washed
into gulles that divide the land into
patches. Much of this is growing a
third or fourth crop of pines or fee
BILE crop of oaks. dogwood, etc.
1t wouldn't pay to clean this land
up again for any other purpose than
to obtain the wood and then sow the
land down to some permanent grass,
mixed grass, for pasturage.
AS stated before a large per cent.
of the best land in the South is not
properly utilized--those lands lying
along the water courses big and lit
tie that are so rich that if left un-
cared for for one season make such
a rank growth of something or other
it is hard job to prepare it for
a crop. Neglect it for two or three
seasons and il is then like opening
new land almost.
Our miserable tenant-system is re-
sponsible chiefly for this land being
thrown out ana being unproductive.
II is a job the average tenant cheer
fully declines to undertake. He pre-
fers to depend upon soil that on ac-

prepared. 1t needs the Woodworking
master-owner to tackle and restore
this desirable soil to cultivation.
