SUGGESTIONS ON VARIETIES OF
COTTON.

has the Georgia big boil and Texas big
boil cotton seed? 1 want some or any
improved big boil with white seed. L
also want some Poland China pigs, pure
bred; not mixed.
There are no such varieties as Texas
big boil or Georgia big boil. Among
the best big boiled varieties of cotton
are Cooks, Berry's, Langford's. Bow
denis Prolific and Jones Improved.
Some of the medium sized varieties are
Russelrs Green Seed, Russelrs Prollt-
ic. willet,s Red Leaf, Aliens Long Sta

varieties are Broadwell, Jones Extra

REMEDIES FOR '"TExAs FEVER"
j. G., BulIochville, Ca, write: I have
lost a fine COW and others in the neigh
borhood have also lost cows. 1t is be-
lieved to be tick fever What is good for
TICK lever. NOulQ II 90 any ROOu 10 cur
~ them off with a currycomb, or could
you recommend some drug that would
kill the ticks without danger to the
COWS?
No doubt cattle ticks are causing the
sickness and destruction among your
cattle as they are very bad this year
on account of the dry hot weather which
favors their development. Ticks may
be removed from a few animals by one
of several methods. You may pick them
off by hand, scrape them off with
knife. brush them off. In any case the
animals should be confined in a clean
lot and the ticks when removed destroy
ed. You should examine the animals
very closely and carefully, particularly
along the lower part of the abdomen
and the inner side of the TANKS where
the ticks are likely to be concealed and
escape notice. often it does not take
many ticks to produce sickness and death
in animals: on the other hand, a large
number will be found and do not seem
to do much injury. The tick is RESPONSE
BILE for the fever which kills the cows.
II is natural that this should be so, as
they are purely parasitic, and if a hui
man being were covered with ticks
which extract the nutriment from the
blood. he would soon collapse also.

CONCERNING THE NITROGEN IN
PEA STITRBLE


PEA STUBBLE.
r. r. G., Lewis, S. c., writes: I am
new subscriber and would like some
advice. 1 sowed seven acres in oats last
fall. After cutting the oats / sowed the
land in peas. l have moved the pea
vines, and wish to work the land in cot
ton next year. Should l pillow under the
pea stubble this fall, or wait until
spring? The land is blackjack with
pipe clay subsoil
Nitrogen is assimilated and fixed in the
leaves and other parts of growing plants.
AS soon as the plant dies, whether from
natural causes or from being cut for
hay, as in your case, the nitrogen ceases
to be fixed in character and may be
washed or leached out Of the plant in
various ways. This being true, it is
best to turn pea stubble under in the
fall rather than leave the land exposed
to washing and teaching during the win
ter season. The vines SIN ould be turned
under as completely as possible as this
lessons the tendency to wash, and it
also incorporates the vegetable matter
deep down in the soil and improves its
friability thereby, and makes ii possible
for the roots of the cotton crop to draw
it's food from a larger area. Contrary
to common belief, most of the nitrogen
in cowpeas is in the leaves and stems
and grains. When you pillow under
stubble of cowpeas, you will probably
incorporate with the soil one-fourth OF
all the nitrogen assimilated by the crop.
In. exceptional cases this may possibly
amount to one-third. In turning under
the roots. stubble and fallen leaves of
an extra good crop of cowpeas, you will
probably add to the nitrogen supply 20
to 30 pounds You can thus see that
the residue in the roots of pea vines is
an important source of nitrogen and you
should make every effort to handle 1t IN
a manner which. will insure your secur-
ing the largest possible return there
from.

For the eruption on your mules neck
shoulders and legs, give a purgative Of
one pound of Glaubers salts, and give
a tablespoonful of salpeter on the feed
twice a day, every second day for a
week. Wash the affected parts with cas-
tile soap and hot water and remove all
scabs and crusts. If unable to remove
them by this method, apply lard or vase
line, and they may be readily removed
In few hours. Then apply per cent

of the creolin or kreso to 10 parts of

One Of the best methods of prevent
ing the damage from ticks on small
farms is to spray or mopt he cows off
thoroughly every few days with cotton
seed oil or crude Beaumont oil. These
materials are cheap and it takes but
little time to treat the animas sufficiently
often to keep the ticks from infesting
them in sufficient numbers to do dam
age. There is no other way of dealing
with the tick problem at this season of
the year except to pick the ticks off
by hand and keep the animals confined
in a bare lot and feed on green feed
until after heavy frosts have fallen and
thus lessened the activity of the tick.
You may get rid of ticks altogether by
fencing up your pasture and dividing it
into two parts and keeping the animals
off half of it for a whole season, or you
may put them in one pasture for a part
of the year, and see that they are free
of ticks and transfer them to the other
section along late in the summer or
early fall. Full information and direc-
tions concerning this matter will be
gladly sent to any farmers who are
interested in tick eradication. This mis-
cradle parasite causes a loss of a mill
lions of dollars in Georgia every year,
yet it's life history is known and it's
complete destruction can be accomplish
ed by the united action of the farm
ers with the state authorities in a COM
paratively short time. If Georgia were
rid of ticks it would become an ideal
stock country. Surely it is worth while
for the farmers to take this matter un-
der serious consideration.
There is no drug which you can feed
the cows that will destroy ticks. 1t is
claimed that sulphur has some effect,
but It is not a specific for the trouble.
When animals are badly affected and
become constipated 1t is sometimes well
to give them liberal doses of salts and
then quinine as a tonic treatment to re-
store the vigor of the system.
