Miscellaneous agricultural topics contained in the press service bulletins: pages 32; many practical points of value to the agriculturist are given in plain language. A feature of the bulletin is the collection of the questions and replies npon important farm subjects. Xo. 97. Digestion Experiments: pages 4«: the results of the detailed work in these pages are described In plain language in a few pages in the begin- ning, so that a tired man can reach the conclusion at once. For the detailed scientific student and investigator ta- bles are given showing how the above results are reached. The digestion work covers feeding with soy soja) bean hay, cat-tail millet. Johnson grass hay. sorghum fodder and bagasse, pea- nut vine hay. cotton seed meal, cotton seed hulls, crimson clover hay, corn meal.cornand cob meal and corn silage. Xo. 93. Some Leguminous Crops and Their Economic Value; pages 24. Gives the rosult of the year 1893, with a great many varieties "of clovers, cow pea9, soy (soja) beans and other legumines. The bulletin includes discussions of legumines as improvers of the soil, their cultivation for forage and their fungous and insect enemies. Field Peas. The Xorth Carolina Experiment Sta- tion during 1S93 had under competitive test plats of cow peas and soja beans— ten varieties of the former and eight of the latter. The experiment has been completedand the results are published in bulletin No. 98, which is now being mailed in time to benefit farmers who sow these crops in spring. Here it may be said that the "unknown" pea has upon dry, medium and wet soil given by far the best results, out yielding all others, both in fruit and foliage. This pea is also the latest to mature. For second place the contest is between the black pea and the red ripper, both of which are excellent and medium early. The earliest of all is the speckled or whippoorwill pea. The "unknown" in Georgia, sometimes called innominata. and Woods' "wonuerful," are in all re- spects identical—they are one and the I same variety. In the 6oia bean class, the old yellow variety is the most productive, both in fruit and foliage, but is much later than some of the newer variety. Concerning the popular names of these plants it may be said that the so-called cow pea is not a pea. but a bean and is more properly called Chi- nese beans. The so-called soja bean is a true pea. and should be called soy pea. or Japan pea. Bnt by* whatever lines we call them, Ihete plants are among the most valuable crop the southern farmer can grow. GERALD MCCARTHY, Botanist X. C. Experiment Station. Cabbage Insects. Probably the worst pest of the cab- bage field is the so-called calico or ter- rapin bug, murcantia histrionica. Thif pest is practically proof against known insecticides and must be hand picked. This is most easily accomnliabed bi najr autns; a enanow pan Wssas TO»rsr, and pouring upon this a ,H'-inch layet of kerosene oil. Hold, the pan undei the plant and shake or jar the plant. The bugs will readily drop into the paf and be instantly killed bv tho oil. A! pure kerosene will burn the leaves bad- ly it must not be splashed on them. Thj green and striped worms which gnaw the leaves of cabbage may be destroyed by the kerosene emulsion, and the cab- bage lice can be held in check by tin same remedy.

QCKSTIONS AND KKPI.IK3. The Station will be glad to receive questions on agricultural topics from any one in Xorth Carolina who may de- sire to ask for information. Address all questions to the "X. C. Agricultural Experiment Station. Raleigh, X. C." Replies will be written as early as pos- sible by the member of the Station staff most competent to do so. and, when of general interest, they will also appear In these columns. The Station expects, in this way, to enlarge its sphere of usefulness and render imme- diate assistance to practical farmers. Cotton Hi—-I Hull Ashen. Will you klndlv Inform mo wliother or nol cotton seed hull ashes have ever been analyzed as n fertilizer by tr.e Kxperim-nt Station, and what such analrfl's dhows I : tn to contain? P. A. l>.. Southern Pines. N. C. (Answered by H. B. Battle. Director N. C. Experiment Station.] 1 send herewith pamphlet on the sub- ject of "composts." which gives analy- sis of cotton seed hull ashes. I would say, however, that analyses of these ashes vary very materially, because in many cases they are more or less burnt and more or lessmixed with dirt or out- side matters. Exposure to the air may also cause absorption of moisture and decrease of percentage. It is a vory high grade potash material, containing a large amount of phosphoric aeid as well. I have had an analyses of these ushes, when carefully burned, to run as high as 88 to 30 per cent, potash. The average is probably about 20 per cent.

How is the emulsion ep- pliodJ-W. C, Kulelgh. N. C. [ Answ«.-,!d by i;croM McCartny, Entomolo- gist N. C. Experimont Station. | 1. The best remedy for potato beetles is Paris green or London purple, both being arsenites. They are about equally valuable. Mix 1 pound of either with 5 pounds of flour and 60 pounds of dry road dust, air slaked lime or fine ashfcs. If you have no sprayer apply with a sifter or perforated pan. If you have a sprayer, mix the arsenite in 150 gal- lons of water and spray it on. In either case repeat tho treatment after ten days to kill the insects hatched after the first treatment. Usually these two treatments will suffice, but repeat if necessary. For cabbage caterpillars, the arse- nites aro best before the plants have headed. After that hand pick or use a well prepared kerosene emulsion. A badly prepared emulsion will barn the leaves. It is best to buy t e concen- trated emulsion ready made. It can be bought in five, ten and forty gallon packages of W. S. Powell & Co., Balti- more, about as cheap as you can make it. Always dilute the concentrated emulsion before using with nine times its bulk of cold soft water. Apply with a sprayer, and be sure to wet the bodies of the caterpillars, as this substance kills by contact only. Paris green can be bought of almost any druggist at about 25 cents per pound. Culture of Pecans. Would you be so kind as to give me some In- formation in regard to the oulturc of pecan nut trees, and at what point I can net the sprouts or trees to plant? B. O. G.. Thermal City. N. C. [Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticulturist, N. C. Experiment Station. | Pecan trees, like all other of the hicko-y family, are rather hard to transplant with uniform success. We would prefer to get good nuts and plant them where the trees are to grow. Almost any southern nurseryman can supply the'seed or trees. P. J. Beck- man & Son, Augusta, Ga., are nursery- men of high character, and will doubt- less supply you with a good article. We put little confidence in the prospects of great profits from peoan growing en a large scale. It may now pay those well who have bearing trees of the large sorts to sell seed and trees at high prices, but the article is one which tile demand for cannot be largely in- creased, and when the trees now being planted in the south come into bearing, we think the profit problematic. Of course it is desirable for all farmers to have a few pecan trees for ornament and nuts, but we would advise you ndV to rush too largely into the culture. Proper Temperature to Churn—Profitable Poultry. 1. What temperature should butter bs churned ot to attain the beat results? 2. Do you consider pare bred poultry, such as Plymouth Rocks and leghorns, muoh more proiltable as flesh producers snd lovers than the common breed of chickens seen around most fr.rms lithls country? G. F. O.. Oskwood, N. C. [Answered by F. E. Emery, Agriculturist, N. «5 Ktr«rl<aer,t Stattaa.1 i. ine temperature at wmen ova* n. suits arc obtained vary somewhat, first, with the season, being higher in winter than in summer; second, with the kind of foods given the cows. and. third, in different dairies where difference in handling the cream may affect the churning conditions. In winter, where cows are far advanced in lactation and considerable cotton seed or cotton seed meal is fed, as high as 70degrees, F., or possibly two or three higher may be found desirable. In summer, with fresh cows on good pasture, as close to fiO degrees F. as possible will not be far wrong for the same dairy. Each one must establish its best degree of heat or coolness by actual trials. Too much care cannot be bestowed on the proper ' "ripening" of the cream unless you churn more for rich buttermilk than lebutter. 2. Yea, unless you put a pure Plym- outh Hock cockerel at the head of your flock of common fowls and continue to grade up with another from an outside source when the first is gone. The high grade birds will take on the character- istics of the pure bred male in propor- tion to his purity and prepotent powers. This plan will be easier for anyone who has common birds than breeding pure fowls, and they will have the advantage of (if there is any) "the oft repeated claim that the graded stock is more pro- lific than that bred pure. 01 BUSS and ltlaekherrles for Market.

Do pta vines extract more from Ike uir than am- o.ner Dlunt: C. J. B.. MiddlcUir;:. .V. C. I Answered by H. B. Batile. Director. N\ C. Experiment Station.] 1 am glad to know that the subject of planting cow peas is being revived in your section. As a sure renovator of old lands, it is ono of the very best crops that can be grown. The cow peas have the same property as clovers anu leguminous plants ir. extracting nitro- gen from the atmosphere. This is done through the means of sinali tubercles on the roots which fix the gaseous ni- trogen so that the roots can utilize it. In this way a large amount is retained in the roots, as well as carried to the leaves in organic combination. The plowing under of the whole plant, in- cluding vines after they are ripe. is. of course, better than plowing under only the roots, as there is much fertilizing matter in the vines and leaves. The ideal way would be to take off the vines, cure and feed to cattle, and re- turn to the land in manure. The next best way would be to plow under after ripe, so that the fertilizing value of the whole plant is retained in the soil. The proportionate part of the total value iu t.ie vines is. of course, dependent upon the growth of the viucs, and no fixed ratio can be given. 1 sentl bulletin Xo. !)i. which describes experiments with peas preceding wheat. An increase of ten bushels per acre, approximately, has been secured by thiB method. Location for Peach Orchard. J have a plat of land lyinq on a hollow or ravine, and slop'n^ westward. It Is nol very steep, bet slopes gradually to Ihe bottom of iho hol'ow. which Is somowbal level. Tue lowest pari ib about twenty feet above the water level in the nearest stream.

In the spring I'.ie oak irees ,!o not put out leaves until the leaves are at leisi lalf proven on ti.e ridges all around. 1 think late frosts In Iho spring sad early frosts fa the fall are pore severe than on the ridges. Would smL'a location be a good place to plant late or.plc trees? Wouid upple trees be affected uy the location the same as the young oak trees? I have a lot of ret ng peach trees savei. or eignt year.-, old standing near the location I mention, only they are on southern and eastern sloiies. and the frost kills the fruit on them every year. W. C. M.. I.incolnton. N. C. [Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticulturist, N. C. Experiment Station.) Your peach trees are in the worst place you could put them. In this climate peach trees should never bo planted on a southern or eastern slope, out always on a northern or western. On the warm sunny slope they are ex- cited too early and the blossoms nearly always killed" The crest and upper part of the north slope of a high ridge are the best places here for peaches. Peaches may do oa the upper part of your western slope, and apples ought to do well on the lower part. Fire Blight of Apple Tree. I send you specimens of apple twigs from my orchard which were attacked last spring. Tas diseose attacks both branches and twigs. In some cases only the twigs ore killed, but In other cases large brandies or the whole tree is dead. What Is the cause snd remedy? 1 also send diseased or blighted pear twigs. Wo bad s hundred dwarf pesr treos. but they ore dying off one by one. J- s. H. * . Bowman** Bluff. N. O. [Answered by Gerald McCarthy, Botanist, M. C. Experiment Station.I . The disease on both apple and pear trees is the same—the so-called flre- blight. This is caused by a species of bacteria micrococcus amy^ovorous. There is no remedy except destruction of affected parts. The disease is very contagious, and tbs cutting out must .be promptly attended to or it will in- fecl the whole orchard. Destroy by j&re all dead branches. New Story of Mark Twain. A traveler now In town on a visit, says the New York Sun, heard a new story about Mark Twain from an old Mississippi river pilot with whom Mr. Clemens once worked for awhile in a pilot Vouse on that river. It seems that he came up into the pilot house carrying an enormous and expensive black Havana ci#ar which excited the envy of the mas- ter pilot. "Where did you got that cigar, Sam?" the pilot asked. "A gentleman in the cabin gave it to tne," said tho budding humorist. "Well, do you think you ought to keep that cigar and I ought to go •Without it?" the pilot asked. "Now, look here," said Mart Twain. "I know I am only your helper and I'm willing to play dog to you. You can throw sticks in the water and let me jump in after 'em. I'll do whatever you say, but" —and here he drawled in his peculiar 1 way—"I do think I ought to have some Dorauisitaa." COALITION—A GREAT MORAL SHOW. It is in the nir. Tho signs are all propitious, and every passing breeze whispers of it. The politi- cal millennium is about to dawn on the land of the Tar Heel, and the day of our prosperity draweth nigh. Times are hard now, but hard times will soon be but a memory. Tho prices of corn and wheat and cotton are low now, but soon there will not be enough to sup- ply the demand at prices that to- day would run us crazy. The in- dustrial and financial skies are dark now, but just beyond us the silver lining, and soon the sun of prosperity will drive the clouds away and nour over the land from Hog Back Mountain in tho West to Tad Pole Swamp in the East a mellow flood of joy, and life and gladness and prosperity of which all shall freely partake save only the wild and wooly Democrats, on whose poor souls may the good Lord have mercy. The reason of it all is as mud— the carious, comical, collossal coalition is about to coalesce. "Tho greatest show on earth" is about to spread its canvas for a double-riHired performance that will make Barnum turn over in his grave and groan with impo- tent rag*, and euvy. While wrongs are being right- ed, the peoplo will be amused and instructed. When the band begins to play tho performance will commence. Dr. Mott, whose picture will decorate the show bills as the "Iron Duke,'' will be riug-master. Twined together arouud the arena will be banners bearing ex- tracts from the platforms of the Republican and Populist parties, as adopted iu their national con- ventions in 1892, of which these are samples: ,,T \e denounce the continued inhuman outrages perpetrated upon American citizens in tho Southern States of the Union." Republican. "The civil var is over and every | passion aud prejudice which grew | out of it must dio with it" Pop- ulist. "We reaffirm the American doc-1 trino of protection." Republican. | "We condemn the fallacy of protecting American labor under the present system which opens our ports to the pauper labor of the whole world, aud crowds out our wage earners." Populist. "We congratulate our country- men on the magnificent march of the nation under the banners in- scribed with the principles of our platform of 1888, vindicated by victory at the polls and pros perity in our fields, workshops and mines.' Republican. "W© meet in thb midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political and material ruin. Business prostrated, homes cover- ed with mortgages, labor impov- erished." Populist. "We maintain that the prosper- ous condition of our country is largely due to the wise revenue legislation of the Republican party." Republican. "The fruits of the toil of mil- lions is boldly stolen to build up collossal fortunes for a few and the pedsessors of theso in turn despise the Republic aod en danger liberty. From the same prolific womb we breed the two great classes.—tramps and mil" lionaires." Populist.

1 send herewith pamphlet on the sub- ject of "composts." which gives analy- sis of cotton seed hull ashes. I would say, however, that analyses of these ashes vary very materially, because in many cases they are more or less burnt and more or lessmixed with dirt or out- side matters. Exposure to the air may also cause absorption of moisture and decrease of percentage. It is a vory high grade potash material, containing a large amount of phosphoric aeid as well. I have had an analyses of these ushes, when carefully burned, to run as high as 88 to 30 per cent, potash. The average is probably about 20 per cent. How to Deal With the Potato itcotlo and

[ Answ«.-,!d by i;croM McCartny, Entomolo- gist N. C. Experimont Station. |
1. The best remedy for potato beetles is Paris green or London purple, both being arsenites. They are about equally valuable. Mix 1 pound of either with 5 pounds of flour and 60 pounds of dry road dust, air slaked lime or fine ashfcs. If you have no sprayer apply with a sifter or perforated pan. If you have a sprayer, mix the arsenite in 150 gal- lons of water and spray it on. In either case repeat tho treatment after ten days to kill the insects hatched after the first treatment. Usually these two treatments will suffice, but repeat if necessary.
For cabbage caterpillars, the arse- nites aro best before the plants have headed. After that hand pick or use a well prepared kerosene emulsion. A badly prepared emulsion will barn the leaves. It is best to buy t e concen- trated emulsion ready made. It can be bought in five, ten and forty gallon packages of W. S. Powell & Co., Balti- more, about as cheap as you can make it. Always dilute the concentrated emulsion before using with nine times its bulk of cold soft water. Apply with a sprayer, and be sure to wet the bodies of the caterpillars, as this substance kills by contact only. Paris green can be bought of almost any druggist at about 25 cents per pound.
Culture of Pecans. Would you be so kind as to give me some In-
formation in regard to the oulturc of pecan nut trees, and at what point I can net the sprouts or trees to plant? B. O. G.. Thermal City. N. C.
[Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticulturist, N. C. Experiment Station. |
Pecan trees, like all other of the hicko-y family, are rather hard to transplant with uniform success. We would prefer to get good nuts and plant them where the trees are to grow. Almost any southern nurseryman can supply the'seed or trees. P. J. Beck- man & Son, Augusta, Ga., are nursery- men of high character, and will doubt- less supply you with a good article.
We put little confidence in the prospects of great profits from peoan growing en a large scale. It may now pay those well who have bearing trees of the large sorts to sell seed and trees at high prices, but the article is one which tile demand for cannot be largely in- creased, and when the trees now being planted in the south come into bearing, we think the profit problematic. Of course it is desirable for all farmers to have a few pecan trees for ornament and nuts, but we would advise you ndV to rush too largely into the culture. Proper Temperature to Churn—Profitable
