The best treatment for the proven

known as the formaldehyde method,
as follows: Mix pound Il pint OF
commercial 40 per cent formaldehyde
with so gallons Of water. This solu-
ton should not be made up until
needed for use. as 1t loses strength
by standing. Spread the seed wheat
out on a clean barn or granary floor
and sprinkle with the formaldehyde

work is done should first be sterilized

What is the Best Cover Crop to Fol-
low Peanuts?

Messrs. Editors: AS the peanut
crop is not removed until October
there is but limited list to choose
from. 1t is customary with us to
allow the hogs to CLEAN the nuts that
are left on the ground at digging,
and this delays sowing anything for
certainly two weeks after the pea
nuts are out of the way, so it is
nearly December before there is
chance to seed the land. Rye is the
only thing that l have found it pos
sible to use, and this makes very
little growth, sown as late as that,
unless the season is very favorable
AS it is not legume, it only adds
humus to the land when it is turned
in. Is there not some reader of our
paper who has found something bet
ter? r. ]. JONES.

by washing down with the solution
of formaldehyde. The method just
described will kill the spores or re-
productive bodies of the sinking
smut, which fill the swollen, black
ened, smutted kernels, and which are
scattered over the grain in handling
and storage by the breaking up of
these kernels in the separator. Com
mercial 40 per cent formaldehyde
sells at about so cents pound Ga

sale, and can be obtained at any re-

are then taken up with pitchfork or
hands and stacked around stakes.
about feet high, set at convenient
distances along the rows. These
stakes should be set securely in the
soil by using an anger, or some other
implement for the purpose. If the
stacks are allowed to blow down, the
nuts are more than apt to be dam
aged. There should be nailed to
each pole, about s inches from the
soil. small wooden cleat, to keep
the nuts and vines from coming in
contact with the moist earth The
stacks should be put up as small
around as possible to allow the air
to penetrate and should also be made
as tight as convenient. With the
bunch varieties. we try to turn all
peas to the pole, so the vines will
protect the nuts from the rains and
ravages of birds
AS soon as the kernels. are dry
enough TO shake in the hull, they
should be picked off. Years ago this
was done largely by women and
children. but to-day there are num-
Der of machines on the market which

HOW TO SAVE LEsPEDEzA SEED

Messrs. Editors: | note your re-
quest for information regarding the
harvesting of lespedeza for seed. We
save the seed as follows:
Let It remain about three hours
after cutting, then rake into wind
rows. Let IT stay in windows one
day, then stack and thresh from the
stack or thresh directly from wind
rows. The latter. believe. is best
as fewer seed are lost.
Some haul to the barns and thresh
from them, but any extra handling
will cause loss of seed.
For those who can't use a thresh-
er. pan attached on the mower bar
behind the blade, will answer very
we'll.
The pans are made OF sheet iron
the length OF mower bar and are
covered with iron bars to prevent the
hay falling In. The hay passes over

Mr.. Eli Springs, of New York, who
left for the North yesterday, after
spending several days in the city
with Mr.. John II. Scott, believes that
cotton Will be selling for is cents
within q short while and hat will
be before the close OF the season. He
declares also that the curtailment of
production by the cotton mills Will
be the greatest ever known in this
country Tor the reason that there is
not sufficient cotton to keep the mills
running and that the demand for
goods will of necessity be greater than
the supply which Will secure good
prices for cotton until next Deem
Der at least, even If this ountry
makes a large crop next year, as the
requirements for goods will be SO
urgent and it will require the receipts
Of two or three months OF the new
crop to start up all the mills Of the
world again.
Mr.. Springs says thai bright pros
poets for q new crop will not have
the usual depressing effect upon the
market for the above reasons and
that it the prospects for the new crop
should be bad there is no telling
what the market would do as it sold
at 27 cents in 1872 and SO cents a
few years previous, after the price
had been much lower and that goods
were sold on this basis when the peo-
pie were less able to buy than they
they are today. The crop this year is
smaller comparatively than it was
then.
MI. Springs says that the new mills
in Europe have offset the curtailnent
among the older mills, consequently 1t
amounts to very little and that the
surplus cotton has been consumed in
stead of being accumulated and nat
a cotton famine is in sight when We
have for the best years
business that we have had IN q decade.

The corn is dragged along on the
