great variety of materials may be
used for this purpose. On some farms
only long fodder derived from cornstalks
or from sorghum may be available.
1t will be good policy, of course, to sup
plement this by using peavine hay or
mixed hay from the great variety of crops
which can be successfully grown in the
suth. When roughage of this char
acter is used it should be run through
a cutting box and moistened with water
which contains a little brine and al
lowed to soften for a few hours before
it is fed. This will increase its palat-
ability and induce the animals to eat
a much larger proportion than if fed in
the dry and unpalatable form as is often
done. Dairy cows will do better on
silage than any other form of roughage
which can be provided, and every, and
every man who expects to follow the
business on a reasonably extensive scale

the year when the pastures are short.
Cows should be given all the roughage
they will eat up clean no matter in
what form it is fed. They should be
given from three to six pounds of cot

ing on the amount of milk they are

should receive at least four pounds of
cOttOnseed meal per day. The grain and
silage and the cut, moistened fodder
should be fed in equal parts night and
morning. In the middle of the day a
little dry roughage can often be fed to
advantage. This may be put in a rack in
the summing yard The top of the con-
tainer should be covered so as to pro-
tect the food from the weather. If dry
roughage is not available, hulls can
oIten be fed to advantage by placing
them in a rack, such as has been lndi-
Gated, and leaving them where the ami
mails can feed on them as they please.
Remember that the cows must receive
an abundance of pure cold water at
all times.
If these simple directions are followed
out, economy of feeding will be attained,
the milk flow sustained, the profits of
the dairyman increased and the comfort
of the herd provided for in satisfac-
tory manner.

There can be- therefore, no alarm as
TO the value of cotton. There can, there
fore, be no doubt but cotton must be
cultivated assiduously, not only to feed
the human kind and the dairy stock, but
to clothe the people of these United
States. 1t is an indisputable fact that
we could not c.0the the army without
great quantities of cotton. We are just
obliged to have it. 1t would have to be
grown extensively as food in pure fat,
in refined oils. There is no doubt OF
that. 1t is a prime necessity for cloth
ing and tents and cloth bags. Now let
US consider for a minute the cost of
making, with the commoneSt kind OF
labor, demanding from $3.50 to 81 per
day to chop it out, or to pillow it,. Let
US consider the price of foodstuffs that
must be advanced by landlords to salts
by the laborer. Let us remember the
cost of fertilizers that must be placed
under the high-priced cotton seed to
get IL growing. Then l ask what is
there in the United States more valu-
able than cotton products9

In regard to inquiry, velvet beans will
not likely prove as satisfactory for cul-
tivation twenty miles north of Atlanta
Ga, as soy beans. The velvet bean
requires a longer period in which to ma
ture than some of the earlier sorts OF
soy beans. 1t is, of course, more SEN
sitive to cold than the latter crop. 1t Is
true that many so-called varieties OF
velvet beans on the market, it is claimed
will mature from ninety to 100 days
Our experience in testing these varie-
ties indicates that most of them require
from 100 to $50 days in which to mature
satisfactorily.
These two crops are essentially diff
ferent. The velvet bean makes a much
more rapid growth under favorable con-
ditions, will spread out over the ground
and climb over the stalks of corn if
there is plenty Of rain and the weather
is uniformly warm. The soy bean, or
the other hand, is an upright growing
plant, being rather bushy in form. The
soy bean produces more grain per acre
than the velvet bean, particularly in
your section of Georgia. We do not
believe, however, it would prove to be
any more satisfactory for the purpose
of soil Improvement than the velvet
bean. In fact, we would prefer it to
the latter crop on relatively thin, poor
land.
The EARLY or Medium Early are prob
ably the best varieties of velvet beans
to plant in your section of the state
The Medium Green and Early Black
are probably two of the best varieties
of soy beans to plant at this time of
the year. AS a matter of fact, it is get
ting late to plant either Of these crops
with the hope of their making any con-
siderable growth or development before
frost. We would be disposed to plant
cowpeas If desiring to seed a legumc
as late as July Is.
Velvet beans should be planted along
the side of the drill row after the corn
is up to a height of six to ten inches
Soy beans may be planted on the same
conditions in the middle of the drill
row, and from 200 to 800 pounds of
acid phosphate put under either crop at
the time of the planting. AS a rule
neither crop needs artificial incubation

While the trouble with which your
COW Is afflicted may arise from one of
several causes, we are disposed to think
she is probably suffering from some
form of Indigestion. In that event, we
her a good dose of EPSON or Glauber
salts. The proper amount to give would
be one to one and one-haIf pounds.
Smaller amounts will prove satisfactory
for an animal weighing 500 pounds:
larger amounts for one weighing 1000
pounds and upward. The salts should
first be dissolved in moderately warn,
water and then administered as a
drench. After they have had an oppor-
tunity to act properly begin by giving
your COW condition powder for a few
days. While various formulas may be
used for this purpose the following is
one of the best. Secure and mix together
thoroughly:
One ounce ginger root.
Two ounces sulphate of iron.
One ounce powdered nux vomica.
Two ounces nitrate of potash.
Two ounces gentian root.
These materials should be very thor
Qughly pulverized The dosage should
be a heaping teaspoonfUl of the mix

suit of the condition of motherhood
through which this COW has recently
passed.
Animals of the age and condition you
mention when full fed and in vigorous
health are frequently attacked by what
is known as milk fever. We do not think
your COW is suffering from this trou-
bic, though she has some symptoms of
it. Under a wise system of feeding and
management she will not be attacked
by this trouble. You should, however,
guard her very carefully during an
other period Of maternity and be pre-
pared to administer as promptly as cir
cumstances may make it necessary what
is known as the air treatment for this
disease. 1t consists of initiating the
udder very thoroughly with filtered air,
which may often be injected by means
of a bicycle, pump, to which is attached
a short rubber tube with glass tip in
serted in the end. The tip is placed in
the end of the tea and the imitation
continued in the respective quarters until
the udder is quite tense and hard.
Give your COW a varied ration as
often as possible. There is not much
nourishment in peahulls. She needs bran
mashes for a little while because of
the tonic effect which the use of this

Managsme of a Shy Breeding Sow
A subscriber York, ). T., writes: Would
lie TO know what to give my SOW 10 cause
her to GENE in heat. She has pigs three
months cid which have been Weaned six
weeks, and is in good order.
The reproductive instinct is a natural
ly inherited characteristic. 1t is much
stronger in some classes of animals
than in others. There is also a great
difference in individuals of the same
class. 1t is not surprising, of course,
that a sow which has recently narrowed
large litter of pigs should prove from
your standpoint of view a rather shy
breeder.
The only thing you can do to help this
condition will be to feed the animal in
question generously on rich, nutritious,
but easily digested and assimilated
foods. The pigs, of course, should be
weaned and the SOW should be given a
chance to build up as quickly as posi-
BILE and so get in a vigorous condition.
l suggest, for instance, that you give
her a ration from now on for some lit
tie time of shorts and skim milk COM

pounds. Afford her plenty of exercise
and provide her with a box containing
plenty of mineral matter made up OF
the following ingredients mixed to-
gether:
One bushel wood ashes, one bushel
charcoal, eight pounds air-slaked lime.
eight pounds common salt, four pounds
sulphur and two pounds pulverized cop

Keep this mixture in a dry place.
Feed your SOW regularly about three
times day. You may add little dried
blood or digester tankage, say spoon
full a day to each feed. Provide plenty
of green food and an ample range.

Fines $50 Each, On
Pop Bottle Charge;

Of soda pop bottles by MeXicans and

corporation court when POrfiriO ROdial
and Mrs. Vonvente Garbalde were
fined $50 each, on a charge Of steal
ing and attempting TO export pop
bottles to Mexico.
For the past several months innum-
cradle complaints Of this nature have
been filed, and have proved a knotty
question. The defendants in almost
all cases are persons who are small
dealers in cold soda, and who buy
their stock from local bOttling works
At the time OF purchase they make a
deposit for the safe return Of the
bottles, which is returned to them.
when they return the bottles. II they
fail TO return the bottles they are out

The question has been whether
such persons are not the actual own
ers of the bottles once they have put
Up their money for them. The prac-
tice has been either 10 sell such
bottles TO junk dealers. who take them
to Juarez and dispose Of them 10 bot
ting works there, or TO take them TO

we're alleged TO have stolen the bot
ties from the FL PasO dairy and the
