of the utmost Importance to see tina
you get a good grade of this ma

or early morning, when the dew i!
on. Care should be used in applying
this material, as it is poisonous t.
weovil will do less damage in Nortl
Georgia than in other parts of the
state. The destruction in this state
will. no douDt, at times be severe
Much depends on the vigor witt

will always grow cotton in NORTH
Georgia. although we may raise les:

Seeding Alfalfa After cowpeas
r. S. A.. Milledgeville, Ga,
writes: We are seeding an
cight-acre lot to peas to be cut
for hay. 1t is our intention to
sow alfalfa as soon as the hay is
cut. Before seeding we want to
use of plenty of lime. How much
and what should it cost? How
much seed should be used per
acre and should it be inoculated?
In your situation, we would turn
the pea vines under rather than at
tempt to make them into hay. Land
on which alfalfa is planted, should
BILE matter and nitrogen. Turning
under the peas will help in the at
tainment of this end. After turn
ing the peas under, and rolling so as
to pack the land. you should apply
not less than two tons of crushed
be ground to a very fine degree and
that it be from rock running high
in calcium carbonate. The cost will
vary considerably, depending on the
freight rates you can secure and the
quantity purchased. You can buy
at a lower cost in car lots. The
nearer you can secure a good grade
of material to your present location
the lower the cost per ton is likely
to be.
1 would suggest that you write to
a number of concerns and ask them
for prices. You know, of course
that figures made last month are
course of a few days. The figures
we could send you as to the prices
on limestone would thus probably
prove misleading.
You should count on sowing TWEEN
ty pounds of re-cleaned western
grown alfalfa seed per acre, and the
seed should certainly be inoculated
D6IOT0 Lucy are pldILeu. lou may
of course, inoculate the land by US
ing soil from an area where alfalfa
has been grown successfully before
We depend now almost altogether
on the artificial cultures. 1t is sc
much simpler to inoculate the land
in this way than to distribute hun
dreds of pounds of soil per acre
fical cultures there is no danger of
infesting your land with various
forms of Objectionable, fungus dis
eases.
Treating an 1nfLa1ned Udder
A. F. W, Eastanollee, Ga,
writes: I have two cows with
respectively. Their udders be-
come swollen and seem to be
hard in places and also break
out in pimp1es. The milk is a.
somewhat stringy. If you can
give me a remedy for this trou-
BILE L will appreciate it.
The udders of your COWS are evil
IDENTIFY more or less infamed, due to
the fact that the milk is probably
not all being drawn regularly there
from. 1t is possible, of course, for
the trouble to which you refer to
arises from various causes, but we
nation you need. Maybe your cows
are getting in the creek or branch
too often, and probably this is re-
sponsibles for part of the scaly
condition Of the udder, to which you
refer. The method of procedure to
pursue under the circumstances is
as follows:
Milk the udder out very thorough
ly not less than three times each day
The calf will not of necessity do this
job at all satisfactorily. Then knead
and work the udder down as much as
possible by gentle pressure and mas
sage. Next, battle them for twenty
minutes at a time with hot water
You will not be able to get it too hot
for this purpose, as the hand will
bear as much heat as the udder
After each of the treatments indi-
Gated, rub the udder carefully with
camphorated lard or vaseline. If you
keep the cows from wading in wa
ter, it will be a help in reaching an
