Plowing Drilled Oa s, Cutting
Timber and Using Cottonseed
for Fertilizer.
Southern Cultiva.or.
1 have a question or two to
ask you.
1. When is the proper lime
to plow oats that wered?illed in
the fall iu 18-inch drill-, or do
you think it will he?p them, and
ho* must I plow them?
2 Does it injure land to cut
all die limher oil at one cutting,
or l- it better to leave some tim
her to he cut later?
3. Which is better for corn,

Comment by the Editor:
1. Ye9, it would be beneficial
jo run a furrow in between your
oats. Tne time to do this will depend
largely upon the seasons.
Cf the grouud is dry we think it
would pay best in April, just
vh.en the oats begin to put forth
* vigorous growth. You could
plow them with a very small
scooter ; or you couid do it more
rtpidly, and perhaps as well
with a cultivator or harrow and
work several rows at once.
2. It does not injure the
land to clear it at once. It might
benefit the land by allowing the
tra-di to decay on it, when clearing
by degrees.
3. It would be best to kill the
seed in the land where the corn
was to be planted. Of course the
corn can not make any use of the
'<egd until they are not only
killed, but decayed and dissolved
in the moisture. Plant roots take
in their food in a liquid form.
Hy killing them or rotting^them
in the soil, you gain'all the escaping
eases, and the land is at
-to benefited by fermentation, l lie
nnin thing is to kill the seed
without any loss. You can do
this by composting them to the
soil as slated <>r by mixing them
with other ingredients tn a com
oust heap, that will absorb all
tie ammonia ?? s?t free.

A Thought For The Week.
Never ask a man what he
knows, but what he can do. A
fellow may know everything
that's happened since the Lord
started the ball to rolling, and
not be able to do anything to
help keep it from stopping. But
when a man can do anything, he's
hound to know something]worth
while. Books are all right, but
dead men's brains are no good
unless you mix a live one's with
them ?Olu Gorgah Graham.
Disc Harrows.
Southern Cultivator.
Formally years I have been
connected with the cons'ruction
of disc lianowsand plows. Ocea
sionally I have been ?sked why
not make ;? disc machine same
as a drag-plow with a beam or
tongue, i have given this subject
carolul thought from the
start, over 35 years, and cover
ing more than 2,000 different
disc harrows and plows that 1
have gotten up. Thus far have
not seen any practical way to
construct a disc plow or harrow
without the use of a pole, espec
lallv a disc harrow.
I Harrows varv in length from
two to 1 Gleet wide and in size of
discs from 1 1 inches to 20 inches
or more, and in horse-power
from one to 10 They are ma le
with single and double lever-?,
simile and double action, with
hitches for horses to go abreast,
sometimes two and up to 10 or
12 Again, the team is used in a
u'rmu two ;ihre;ivl ofton liMliiir
*->' - - p>
as many as eight to 10 pair of
hordes to a harrow. N<? matter!
wliat kii><| of a hitch used, it is
necessary to so hitch the team
to tho harrow that they could
not net their heels hiiek against
the disc. The only way that I
found to keep the horses' heels
away from the discs is to have a
One Gold m Hootlier
The season's first cold (
may be slight?may yield
to early treatment, but the
next cold will hang on
longer; it will be more
troublesome, too. U n
necessary to take chances
on that second one. Scott's
Emulsion is a preventive
as well as a cure. Take
scons EfnuLSion
when colds abound and
you'll have no cold. Take it
when the cold is contracted
and it checks inflammation,
heals the membranes
of the throat and lungs
and drives the cold out.

pole 'onji enough so that, they
can not get hack against the (
discs. It is the same in all disc '
harrows
When harrows are drawn out ?
o! work tile discs are always se' ,
in a straight line. Again, the
short tongue or beam has to be
carried on a carrying wheel.
Willi this condition of facts how
can it be drawn down hill?
With extension head for orchard
work they must extend
lar out under the limbs of the (
trees. With a short tongue the
harrow will zig-zag across the j
field,striking the trees and horseheels
in turn. 1 don't giuss at it.
Years ago 1 killed two good
horses frying the short-tongue
foolish experiment. I have done t
with this fooling, and hereafter
I shall never recommend any
disc machine that has not a pole
long enough to keep the horses*
heels out of ihedhcs.
