Sow Peas Now. iBi

' tl
Progressive Farmer. i t<
The cotton in our section plant 11
ed on pea stubble is looking so ; (
well?so far ahead of the other 11
cotton?that I can't resist the!"
temptation to tell your readers 11
about it. Talking to a neighbor a
on this subject recently, we;a
agreed that we hail made a ?enous
mistake in not adopting a I
good system of rotation of cropsjc
long ago; but we have our eyes "
opened now to see the great ad-|
vantage of this comparatively I
new plan in our section. j11
| L.
Of course where one has a
large dairy, or a livery stable to ri
furnish animal manure in abun ' A
dance, he can make fine crop? ! ^
without much system of rotation ; j a
but the ordinary farmer cannot i n
attain much without it. For gene r n
?! farming in this section, a good j
rotation is : (1) cotton followed P
(2) by corn aud pets, followed
(3) bv wheat or oats and peas
aud (4) back to cotton. As I have
a good deal of creek bottom land t!
for corn, I vary this some on a tl
large part of my farm, leaving tl
out the corn and sowing to small b
grain and peas two years in sue- u
cession and back to cotton for f
two years. This is more conven- h
ient where you do not need the a
corn for home use. s

Formula for Government
Whitewash. d
V
a
Progressive Farmer.
I saw a reoipe in your paper a t
few weeks ago for whitewashing \
houses, but I have misplaced it 1
and would be glad if you would i:
aond me a copy of that number. 2
I want to whitewash all my ten d
ant houses, lots, barns, etc., and 1 2
will appreciate any information t
you can give me on this subject, t

There have been so many in | '
qjiries for the whitewash formu 1
Ja, and we would like ho much toj J
eucourage all our other readers j
to follow your good example, that
we reprint our former article in
full herewith :
"This is usually known as the
Government whitewash, and uoj t
matter how often it appears in j
print, there i.s always a call for (,
its reappearing. As it must he f
applied lu>t to any surface, 11 ,
should be made or kept in a larg. }
kottle or portable furnace, in or- ^
der to heat as wanted. It is claim- ^
ed that about a pint of the mix ?
tore will cover a square yard
upon the outside of a house, il
preperly applied, and that it is
suitable for wood, brick or stone,
answering as well as oil paint, t
and being much cheaper, and will b
retain its brilliancy for years.? h

to suit the taste. No matter c*
what quantity is desired, these ol
are the proportions in which the ti
ingredients are to he used :
"Half a bushel of good, rnslack
ed lime ; slack with hoiling water,
covering during the process to
keep the steam in ; strain the li
quid through a sieve fine enough j-,
to retain all unslacked lunips.? Jjj

"When so good a whitewash as j
liis is claimed to be so cheaply j
jade, it is strange that any farm 1

Yleat Production in the South
The Washington Post remarks
hat if at any time the people ot
lie South have suffered either in
heir stomachs or in their pockets
ecause of the high pnco or the
nwholesome character of the
Chicago meat products, they
ave oniy themselves to blame,
s there has never been the
mallest reason why they should
iot feed themselves from their
wii herds, flocks, dairies aud
>arn-yards.
The Times Dispatch made
nuch the same remark several
lays ago. It is gratifying to know,
lowever, that the Southern States
ire greatly increasing their live
trw*lr rirnil iii'N If ia aafimntaH
hat such products increased in
alue $14*2,000,000 from 1800 to

itates raised 50,000,000 chickens,
!,500,000 geese, and 1,500,000
lucks annually. They produce
100,000,000 pounds of butter, and
he total value of their animal

Importance of the Cattle Tick.
The common cat lie tick 18 a
familiar sight to all our people,
but very lew outside of those engaged
in the cattle business
realize the important part it
plays i ; hindering the development
of the cittle iudu>try in
the state The cattle tick carries
the '"germ" that cuises Texas
tever. a disea;e very fatal to
grown cattle. Ca't e that are
raised on land infested with ticks
are inoculated with the germ by
becoming infested with ticks immediately
alter birth. At this
age they suffer a very mild attack
of the disease with no visible external
symptoms and alter they
have passed through it they are
then proof against the infection

are r;?i-5e<l on land on which
there are no tick* and are after
wards moved 'o tick infested
lands, they will become infected
with the disease. They wi'l alsci
sutTer from the disease if they re.
main 011 the land on which they
were raised and tick-infested cattle
are introduced among them.
because of these facts the Fed
eral Government has established
a quarantine line across the conn
try dividing the regions infested
with ticks from those in wliicl
there are no ticks. No cattle
can be moved from the tick-in
fested regions across this quaran
tine line except when they ar<
being shipped for butchering it
a slaughter-house which has di
reel railroad connection. Soutl
Carolina is placed below thr
quarantine line among the tick
infested regions. Hence, catth
cannot be shipped fiom this stat<
to points above the quarantine
line except lor immediate slaughter.
Cuttle for dairy purpose*or
for feeding or breeding art
barred. Thus, the market f<>:
the cattle produced in the stat?
is considerably restricted.
Some ol the stales include*
within the lickinles'ed area
notably Virginia, North Carolina
Texas and Oklahoma, which had
within their boundaries an aren
in which tcks existed only on n
lew larms or ranches, have sue
ceeded in having such areai
placed above the quarantine
line, thus opening new markets
f ?r the cattle raised therein
This was accomplished by tin
passage ol a law by the legisla
ture establishing a state quaran
tine dividing til? slightly infest
od area from the other part of tin
>tate and the < radical ion of I he
ticks from the infected places in
the slightly infested area. When

about the state quarantine line
was then adopted by the Federal
(Jovernment and made a part ot
the national quarantine line.
This plan is .just as feasable in
South Carolina as in any ot the
states mentioned. In a great
part ol the state since the passage
of the stock law the ea'tle
tick has become almost extinct
and exigti only on a place here
and there. I lie first step in the
matter, however, must he taken
by the legislature.
