ated with the soil. OF course, rela-
lively firm soil is better for seed bed
than one that is too light and <friable.
Therefore, Immediately after turning the
land it is well to roll it so as to COM
pact the soil and bring the moisture to
the surface. This will hasten decay and
avoid any danger of souring the land.
The lanu should not be plowed when it
is too wet, and 1t Is equally undesirable
to wait until 1t is too dry. Wait until
you get a good season in the soil be-
fore you begin to pillow. Then turn the
weeds and trash to a considerable depth,
then fertilize the land well, prepare a
good seed bed. and there is no reason
why cabbage should not grow satfsfac-
torily on it.
SHINY MILK AND ITS PREVENTION
j.. z. N. dexter, Ga, writes; Please
tell me why a cows milk after standing
awhile becomes sAmy. When taking it
from a pan with spoon 1t ropes.
Stringy or Shiny milk is caused, as a
rule. by fungi developing in the liquid.
and 1t is probable that the spores are
present in the system of the COW. This
deduction has been drawn from the fact
that frequently in a large herd only two
or three cows will be affected, and that
after few days the trouble generally
disappears. This fungus does not grow
into the flaments of the body of the
cow, but the trouble occurs five or six
hours after mixing. Be careful of the
water supply. See that 1t is pure and
wholesome and that the vessels used for
holding the milk are thoroughly disin-
fected by the use of boiling water and a
little salsoda, and give the COW two
drains of bisulphide of soda daily for
several days. This should arrest the
trouble promptly and permanently.

fer to confine our efforts to the use
of top dressings at this season of the
year An application of nitrate of soda
or sulphate of ammonia might be
found effective. Some prefer to mix
equal parts of cotton seed meal and
nitrate of soda, and this is a good for
mula. When this mixture is applied
IL is best to scatter it ahead of the
cultivator and cover into the soil. If
nitrate is used, provided there has
been a reasonable amount of rains it
should be Nput on the surface of the
ground alongside the drill row. Sui
phate of ammonia would be applied
much the same as nitrate of soda,
though there would be less objection
to incorporating 1t with the soil. The
advisability of putting 1t alongside the
drill row or in the middle depends on
the skill with which the land was pre-
pared before planting and the charac-
ter OF cultivation which has been pur-
sued since that time A crop which
shows any considerable degree Of vigor
will certainly assimilate all the plant
food put on the ground. If the desire
is to stimulate a quick growth. placing
Ii relatively near the base of the plant
is an advantage. A properly mixed
fertilizer will not deteriorate ma
terially in composition. though it is
best to apply it to the ground as soon
after mixed as possible.
PROTECTING COTTON FROM RUST.
]. ]. H., Holly Springs, Ga, writes:
have a piece of cotton which is very fine
but the rust is striking 1t. What can 1
do to stop it?
The rusting of cotton may be due to
one Of two things, either the attack of
the red spider or the impaired physio-
logical condition of the plant. Three
things may render the plant subject to
this trouble. These are deficiency of
vegetable matter In the soil, the need
Of drainage, or the lack of available
potash. In many OF our Georgia soils
the lack Of available potash Is the main
cause of rusting and 1 have no doubt
that this is one of the principal reasons
why your crop is suffering from this
trouble at the present time. Applying
potash at this stage of development will
hardly arrest the trouble, but in future
you should use a much more liberal
amount of potash than IT. is likely you
applied this year. For instance, where
this trouble appears I would be disposed
to recommend an application of to 10
per cent Of available potash where the
application of a complete fertilizer is
not less than 500 to 900 pounds per acre
The best suggestion we can offer to
prevent the rusting of cotton at the pres
ent time is to apply nitrate of soda at
the rate of 70 to 100 pounds Immediately,
putting it on as a side application,
though IL you have had a dry season in
your neighborhood, you may scatter It
ahead of the cultivator and work 1t
into the surface of the ground. Please
do not understand that this is recon-
mended as a specific for the trouble, but
merely a suggestion which has proven
helpful in some instances. The thing for
you TO do is to rotate your land, put
vegetable matter in it, and apply plenty.
OF potash another season.
