In dynamiting land for corn. it Is
desirable to lay the ground of say in
flve foot rows and puS the charges in
about every five feet in the drill row.
In our experience boring the holes TO
depth of three feet ana putting IN "a
half a stick of dynamite has prove
complishing the breaking up of the
soil. This simply loosens the soil w
but does not throw IL out or invert Ii
the most expeditions manner of ac-
so that fresh clay and subsoil is not
brought to the surface. This seems
to be a very desirable method of dy-
namfting from our point OF view. a
heavier charge might tear up the
ground more effectively, but the mix
ing of the fresh clay of the subsoil
with the top soil would probably make
a plastic, cohesive seed bed and thus
tend to retard termination. We tried
an experiment in dynamiting last year
for corn but were unable 20 obtain re-
suits of any value owing TO the ex-
ceedingly dry season, as the land was
never wet by {. rain during the entire
growing season after the dynamiting
was completed. We hope to carry on
some tests in the future along this
lire, and possibly the land dynamited
last year will show the benefit of the
work this year. We found the dyna-
hitting rather tedious and more expen-
sive than we calculated at first.
On good red clay land il will pay
YOU to use not less than 500 pounds
of a 9-3-4 fertilizer for corn, and
probably 200 to 500 pounds as a side
application about the middle Of the
growing season. The second applica-
ton should be put on rather early 50
as to give the corn an opportunity to
utilize the plant food before maturity.

There is no way of preventing hog
cholera save through the use of what
is known as hog cholera serum. Hogs
are immunized against this disease by
the injection into their flesh of blood
from a case of cholera and dose Of
serum. Ten days later a large dose
of virulent blood is. injected into the
veins Of the ear. If the hog remains
healthy after this treatment he is
considered hyper-immune, and may
then be used to produce the protective
serum. The serum used for this pur-
pose is made from the blood of hyper
immuned hogs. The animal is placed
in a crate and the blood drawn from
the tail under antiseptic conditions.
The blood is then defribinated and a
preservative added. Hogs may be bled
at intervals of one week, and the serum
from each hog should be kept sepa-
rate and tested for potency before sent
out for use. OF course. il is impossi-
BILE for the farmer to manufacture the
serum for himself as skilled veterinari-
ans are required TO othis work. on
this account the college is undertaking
TO manufacture the serum, though the
fluid is not ready for distribution as
yet. because OF the fact that we were
0eldN eQ IN receiving tue APPROPRIATION
from the legislature for several months
by reason of the condition of the state
treasury. While it is the duty of the
college to manufacture this serum as
soon as the work can be properly or
ganized, the distribution of ii is left in
the hands of DR.. p. +. Bahnsen, state
veterinarian. Atlanta, Ga. and we
would suggest that you communicate
with him with reference to this matter.
While the serum may possibly cure
hogs of cholera, it ssprincipally used
as a preventive. If you are sure that
your hogs are sick. communicate with
DR.. Bahnsen. Isolate your animals
which seem to be effected. Disinfect
your pens and feeding lots very thor
oughly, and place where your hogs can

You do not state the character of
land on which you expect to plant your
corn, but unless IL Is very sandy indeed
and not underlaid with red clay, there is
no reason why you should not apply one
half to two-thirds of the amount Of
fertilizer you propose to use under the
drill row at the time of Planting the
crop. We have found this to be a safe
and rational practice, all opinions TO the
contrary. Suppose. therefore. you use 400
pounds under the drill now, and 200
pounds as a side application. Land which
viii make 30 bushels Of corn per acre is
no doubt in fair state of cultivation and
contains a considerable amount of avail
able plant food. but If you hope to in
