next year, but it would be infinitely bet
ter for you to devote this land to corn
and cowpeas and some other crops for
two or three years, and then go back
to cotton, using a resistant strain. You
should be careful not to take the i'm
plements that you have used on this dis
eased land on to the other parts OF your
farm. because they are liable to carry
the disease into fresh acres of land.
This is a very destructive disease and is
spreading because our farmers have
not made a persistent and united effort
to fight it through the use of resistant
strains and a rotation of crops.

SEEDING RAPE AND WINTER CE-
REALS.

Dwaf Essex rape is best sown earlier
in the season, say in late July or early
August. else in the spring Of the year,
as I'm late February or early March. Sown
at this season Of the year 1t may devel-
op in an extremely favorable fall, but the
cold weather may stunt its growth, and
prevent you from securing large
amount OF grazing. We think you would
find Il inadvisable to seed rape at this
season of the year, Any of the cereals
may be sown with advantage for graz
ing purpose. OF course, where you ex-
pect to secure much benefit from them
in the fall. Il is necessary to seed them
rather early. We see no particular ad-
vantage in mixing oats, wheat, rye and
barley together. We would prefer to SOW
these by themselves, and 20 seed with
them some clover and a little hairy
vetch. Nse five to ten pounds Of clover
seed and twenty pounds Of hairy vetch
with four or FIVE pecks of any of the
cereals, and best for sowing for grazing
purposes on this land on that account.
Next for grazing purposes would come
oats. Barley is an excellent crop to
Craze, but will only give it's best results
on rich land. The Oregon vetoh is a
splendid grower and fine crop for fall
grazing, but we have found II very SEN
sitfve to cold here, and therefore cannot
advise its use except in a very mild
climate where the freezes do not amount
TO much.
The land to which you refer will be
benefited by the application of an S-2-S
formula for the crops mentioned, APP
piled at the rate of 300 to 500 pounds per
acre. Sow in the drill at the time of
seeding the crop. The vetohes may be
sown after sweet potatoes have been
taken out of the ground. or vetch and
rye will make a good mixture to use
We would hardly advise ordinarily the
planting OF other cereals except those
which may be sown in open burrows
with advantage late in the season.
Crimson clover would probably reseed
itself If allowed 20 ripen. but if you want
until the heads become too old the clover
IS not desirable as feed, producing IN
the stomach of horses what are known
as hair balls and these sometimes cause
death II cut when just coming into
bloom this danger is avoided, but, Of

You are certainly acting wisely in dis

RECEIPT FOR PICKING PORK.
B. ]. D., Francis. Fla, writes: 1 would
like to have a description for a good
process for picking pork.
The following formula has been pub
lished in these columns previously, but
for the benefit of those who overlooked
it and are interested in this matter, we
reprint IL.
When the meat is cooled, rub each
piece with salt and allow II to drain
overnight. Then pack it in barrel with
the hams and shoulders in the bot
tom, using the strips of bacon to I'LL in
between or to put on top. Weigh out
for each 100 pounds of meat eight
pounds of salt, two pounds of brown
sugar, and two ounces of saltpetre. Dis
solve all in four gallons of water and
cover the meat with the brine. For
summer use it will be safest to boil the
brine before using In that case it
should be thoroughly cooled before it is
used. Bacon strips should remain in
this brine for four to six weeks; hams
six to eight weeks. This is a standard
recipe and has given the best of salts

spring will keep right through the sum
mer after they are smoked. The meat
will be sweet and palatable If it is prop
erly smoked, and the flavor will be good

course. this would prevent the clover
from reseeding.
A good whitewash Is made by stalking
a half b-shel OF lime with boiling water,
keeping 1t covered during the process.
Strain 1t and add a peck Of salt, dis
solved in warm water; three pounds OF
ground rice out in battling water and boil-

mix these well together, and let the
mixture stand for several hours. Keep
the wash thus prepared in kettle or

it on as hot as possible with either
paint or whitewash brushes.

TREATMENT or MILK FEVER.

w. p. Three Notch, Ala, writes: l
would like to know what to do for my
COW. She has a calf two weeks old, and
has been doing we'll until day or two
ago. We feed her on cotton seed meal
and hulls twice q day. She staggers
and falls about, and I thought she had
the hollow tail. or she had eaten some
poison, so / split her tail and put pepper
and vinegar in it and tied 1t up and
drenched her with a cup of hog lard,
and put some turpentine in the back or
her head for the last two days. She
does not eat anything scarcely, but
drinks a little water. Please tell me
what to do for her.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-10-15

Judging from the symptoms given in
your letter, your COW is suffering from
an attack of milk fever. This is a
very destructive disease to milk cows
and is one which can be treated better
nv prevention than in any other man
ner. Where a COW is a heavy mixer
sudden changes in diet should be avoid
ed. You should give a light, easily d.
gested, laxative diet for some days. A
mild laxative should be given for two
to five days before calving, and
cathartic after calving. A mild laxative
may consist of one quart of ltnseed oil
daily and from one to two pounds of
EPSON salts with two ounces of ginger
will provide an excellent cathartic. This
much will enable you to avoid the trou-
BILE in the future, for cutting the tail
and putting in pepper and vinegar or
boring the horn and applying turpentine
thereto only adds to the misery of the
animal without assisting in any way
toward a recovery.
In cases of milk fever it is best to
secure a competent veterinarian at
once The COW should not be allowed
to lie on the side, but should be propped
up by means of bags OF sand or bran
so that she lies on the sternum, and If
she throws her head about violently she
should be confined. In cold weather re-
Nain heat by blanketing heavily me
air treatment should then be restorted
to- This air infection treatment is
quite simple. Apparently the full dis
tention of the udder with pure air is
one of the most satisfactory treatments
for this trouble. The udder should be
disinfected and an oil cloth placed
under it. For the purpose Of disinfec-
ton use corrosive spblimate in water
at the rate of one. part to 1000, or
lysol, three parts to 1000 of water. The
hands of the operator should also be
thoroughly disinfected. A special
syringe is used to inject the air into
the udder 1t is filled with cotton at
one end through which the air must
filter through to enter the udder. 1t
is well to massage the udder in order
to disseminate the air. In an emer-
gency an ordinary bicycle pump con-
nected by rubber tube to milk tube
may be used to inject the air, but this
doas NOT filter IL

The trouble to which you refer as af-
fecting your cotton is known as the
wilt disease and is. caused by a spore
which infests the land and finds it's way
into the roots and grows up through the
ducts or water-carrying vessels of the
plant, choking it to death The only
way of combating this disease is by
crop rotation and by resistant strains
of cotton. There happen to be several
of these on the market which you can
probably secure through reliable seeds
men. They are Dixie and Dillon. Jack
sons Limbless has also proven quite re-
sistant to this trouble We would adj
wise you to secure quite well selected
seed of these varieties and try them
