would then, in addition, make a mixture
of equal parts of cottonseed meal and
acid phosphate and use this under the
drill row for truck crops at the rate of
at least 500 pounds per acre. For many
of them an application of 500 pounds per
acre will be found desirable. You can,
of course, use in the place of cottonseed
neal any other carrier Of nitrogen
which will provide this essential ele-
ment in as cheap and desirable form
We do not believe there is a better
method of handling a proposition such
as you have to deal with than the one
indicated.

As a rule sandy land is best suited
for. successful growth of castor beans
though any land which contains good
deal of organic matter will prove sal
;sfactory for IRE cultivation of this
bean.
You should first prepare good
seed bed, then lay off rows five or SIX
feet part, leaving a road every SIX or
seven rows for a wagon to pass IN
gathering the beans. Plant the beans
in hills two or three feet apart, sew
eral seed tothe hill and later thin to
one plant. Stable manure is best to
apply to this land, or you can use ESQ
TO 800 pounds Of commercial fertilizer
before planting the seed.
Pour hot water over the seed and
then allow them to soak for twenty
four hours. Plant i'm the spring as soon
as all danger of frost is past and keep
cultivated until nearly mature. This
crop might be cultivated just as you
would cultivate corn. The spikes should
be cut off as they ripen. 1t is neces-
sary to cut off the spike when it is
about two-thirds mature in order to
avoid shsttering. Under normal con-
ditions spikes will begin to mature the
latter part Of July.

II is difficult to determine just what
form of fertilizer is best to use on fresh
land. Some soils of this character, as
you probably know, contain very con-
siderable amount of nitrogen. We have
seen land of this character where we
are certain very god results would be
obtained the first year without the use
of additional nitrogen. There is a
great deal of variance in the public
mind as to what is meant by fresh land.
Land which has peen originally in
heavy timber and which has been re-
Gently cleared is what we would regard
as fresh land. Land of this character
ought to contain $50 tons of available
nitrogen and this is ample to produce
good crop. AS it departs from the
class of land indicated IL will, OF course
contain less nitrogen.
Most of our soils are deficient in acid
phosphate. Three hundred to four hun
dred pounds would be a fairly liberal
application, and especially so where you
do not use other elements of plant food.
Under your peculiar circumstances and
with nitrogen as high as it is, we do
not think it necessary for you to use
anv of this element during the present
year.
We judge the white clay rocky land
about which you speak is not in good
physical condition. Possibly it needs
understanding. II it possesses the
characteristics you mention in your
letter we would prefer to buy some 9TH
err character of land, such as the &C.
Gil clay loan or the typical red clay
land of north Georgia. Land of the
character you mention could no 'doubt
be built up, but we believe it will take
some time TO do this and require the
use of considerable amounts of vege-
table matter and fertilizing constituents
as well.

The best treatment for a SOW about
to farrow is as follows: Place in a
comparatively dry pen. This pen should
have a rail about inches wide pro-
tecting out into it and securely nailed
to the side. The rail should be placed
about inches from the floor. When
this is done it frequently prevents the
SOW from lying on the young pigs and
killing them. The bed and shed should
be kept clean and dry and well bedded.
Feed the SOW with laxative, nourish-
ing foods, such as shorts and bran
mashes will provide. Pour hot water
over these and mix thoroughly. You
may put in a spoonful of Glauber salts
or anything which will tend to gently
but thoroughly cleanse the alimentary
canal.
During such a period as you write
about there is likely to be fever, and
this is one of the best ways to obviate
it. Violent-acting medicines should of
course not be given. After narrowing
the SOW should be fed on laxative and
nourishing foods. Feed very sparingly
for a day or two. Be careful to see
that the udder is thoroughly milked
out and not allowed to harden. You
should feed the SOW literally, as the
pigs will grow more rapidly through
sucking the dam in the first six to
ten weeks of their life than any other
way.
There is no way to keep the larks
from pulling up corn unless you sat
ter little of it on the ground as food
for them.

the Osceola velvet bean compare with the
small speekled To-day beans as 1909 ior
stock and fertilizer? What is your opinion
of the Jerusalem artichOke for hog foodF
The Osceola velvet bean is relative
w new variety and has not been extern
sively and generally cultivated as some
other strains Its growth Is, therefore,
still in the experimental stage and II Is
rather difficult to say how 1t will stand
as compared with other varieties after II
has been thoroughly tried out. Accord,
ing to our experience here at the college
it requires about ISL days to mature as
compared with 1876 days for the bunch
variety. The small seeded bunch and
the large seeded bunch mature in 132
days. The so-called HOLIDAY variety
also natures in 1872 days. These appear
to be the best strains to recommend for
growth at the present time. The Osce
ola bean made a yield of S.S bushels, as
compared with about 20 bushels by the
ninety-day variety, 1874 bushels by the
small seeded bunch, 1876 bushels by the
large seeded bunch and 1913 bushels by
the 100-day.
Velvet beans make an excellent food
for live stock. They might be grazed
in the field when planted along witt
corn They may be fed in the hull, or
ground in the hull, or they may be
hulled and fed separately. We have had
the best results from feeding them in
the hull. We soak them from IL to As
hours, depending on the weather, and let
all classes of stock help themselves. A
large number of hogs and cattle were
practically finished In south Georgia
last winter by grazing them on corn
and velvet beans grown in the corn.
They contain about half as much fer
tilizing constituents as a ton Of cotton
seed meal. They are valuable to GER
tain extent for this purpose because
they contain relatively large amount
of potash and nitrogen. They should, of
course, frs be fed and so made a means
of producing live stock as well as en-
riching the soil.
Jerusalem artichokes are fairly well
adapted for hogs. We think, however,
there are other crops which could be
grown to better advantage in Georgia
for this purpose. Why not plant soy
beans, cowpeas and peanuts. They are
easier to grow, think you will find the
seed relatively cheaper. and they are
we'll adapted to our soil and climatic
conditions.

We take il, from the description Civ
en- in your letter. that cotton grown on
your land does not fruit well. This
may be due to one of several causes,
but the chances are that there is not
a sufficient amount of available phos-
phoric acid in your soil. Under such
conditions it is not uncommon for crops
to make n good weed but fail to fruit
satisfactorily. and this applies not only
TO cotton but to all other crops as we'll.
We therefore suggest that under ex-
listing conditions you use 200 ITO 900
pounds of acid phosphate along with,
say, a sack of cottouseed meal, on the
land in question. You may consider
this a liberal application OF acid phosA
phate, but we DO not think it too much
under existing circumstances. Such an
application should provide enough
phosphoric acid to enable you to grow a
very satisfactory crop of cotton. We
would put the acid phosphate into the
ground at the time the crop is planted.
This is an element which is not readily
lost from the soil and at the same time
probably rot taken UP as rapidly as
some Othe: elements. Therefore, 1t
would be a good idea to mix it with the
soil. This affords the crop better
opportunity naturally to assimilate
larger proportion of this particular ele-
ment of plant food

A COMBINATION BATON SUITABLE

II is of course impossible to say
whether you are feeding a too llneral
ration of corn or not, because twenty
oars of one kind of corn would be pro-
viding your mules with superapun-
dance of food, whereas twenty ears OF
another sort might not be FURNISHING
them enough. We presume you speak
of prolific corn, and in that event your
ration should be quite liberal for the
purpose you have in mind. 1t would !
improved materially, however, II you
could have this corn ground, ears and
all. and then add to each 500 or 500
pounds of II 100 pounds of cottonseed
meal. We would advise you to get
measure and fill It up to where 1t con-
tains, say fourteen or fifteen pounds or
the aforementioned mixture by weight
We would then divide the contents of
the measure into equal parts, and feed
half the grain at morning and half at
night Along with this you should give
about twelve to sixteen pounds of mix
ed hay or forage.
Peavine hay in itself is not good
feed for mules. 1t contains probably
too much nitrogen to be fed exclusive
ly. There is danger of producing azo-
turia. This is a disease caused by sur
feiting the system with nitrogen, and
this is likely to occur in the spring when
you feed a ration containing too much
of this element. If you could mix your
peavine hay with an equal amount of
shredded corn fodder or pulled fodder.
sorghum or straw which has been cut
up and mixed with X, il would be an adj
vantage. In order to add to the palata-
bility of the ration it is good practice
to run the coarse material through a
small hand cutting box, moisten with
water containing a little salt and allow
to stand a few hours before feeding.
In the middle of the day we would only
feed some coarse fodder to the mules
in question.
We believe that by following these
suggestions you will find that you car
make your corn go much further and
improve the ration you are now feed
ing TO your mules quite materially.
