tlemen have their fields examined by
experts during the growing season,
and so the grain they offer for sale
are reliable And proficient seedsmen
in the country at the present time,
and I would not hesitate to buy
seed from any large firms, most of
which will give you reasonable
guarantee as to the quality of the
seed delivered, it's trueness to type
and it's freedom from admiXture with
other strains.
Under corn, I would use formula
containing 4 per cent of nitrogen, 3
per cent Of phospheric acid and
desire to use 1900 pounds of cot
tonseed meal, 500 pounds of acid
phosphate and 800 pounds of kainit,
it should make very good formula
for corn. There is no danger of this
material causing your corn to fire fire
are inclined to think that only lit
tie of the fertilizer should be used
under the drill row when the corn is
planted. Put a part Of 1t on when
the corn is knee high and part on
when it is .tasseling. Placing the fer
is an effective method Of applica-
ton.
Irish potatoes should do very well
on new-ground; Even 9nen, l 1nanR
fertilizer containing 8 1-2 per cent OF
nitrogen, s per cent Of phosphoric
acid and from to 4 per cent OF pot
ash.

writes: I have a mare about ten
years OLD that is IL bad a. order set:
no fatter and acts dull. She may
her? have a piece of land
that has been highly manured
for several years, with CONNER
Would it do to just rip the old
stalks and plant cotton in the
Old rows, not using any CONNER
cial fertilizer?
There should be no difficulty in
determining whether your mare has
the dejecta reveals this fact. If
worms are present the treatment is
simple. Fast your horse for about
forty-eight hours, and then proceed
with the following treatment: Give
worms, Turpentine in tw9S-ournYce
doses we'll diluted in milk. olive oil
or cottonseed oil will be satisfactory.
This dosage should be given once
daily for two or three days in sue
C6SS1On ana LnSn follow by 6OOu
purgative. An excellent condition
powder to give your mare Is the fol-
lowing:
a. Sulphate of iron. E. four ounces
Nux vorlica seed. two ounces
- Ginger root two ounces
lGentian root ....... two ounces
Nitrate of potash. two ounces
These materials must be very
thoroughly pulverized and then
mixed together. The dosage is a
heaping teaspoonful in the feed two
or three times daily. 1t is also good
practice to make a mixture of two
parts Of wood ashes and one part of
sulphur and place the material
where your mare can have free ac-
cess to it at all times. Replace the
corn you maye have been using with
bran, which should be fed in the
form of mashes made by pouring hot
water over the feed and then letting
it cool. Use only bright, clean hay.
Let your mare have the run of a
lot to encourage her to take a reas-
enable amount of exercise.
Land will need to be very rich to
justify you in planting cotton on it
without the use of any commercial
FERTILIZER We would not imagin
that land of the character you de-
scribe would produce a very profit
able crop of cotton without the use
Of some commercial fertilizer. There
is no reason why you should not
make a mixture as we see it of equal
parts of cottonseed meal and acid
phosphate and use at the rate Of 500
pounds per acre under your cotton.
