2 , Agricultural A Farmer Who Believes in Florodora Cotton. *4R. L. F." in Southern Cultivator. 1 have made a fairly good crop this year ; have plenty of hog and hominv. I nlnnt the Flnro. dora cotton?have n<>t plan'ed auy other for four years and have always gotten*as much as live cents premium over the short cotton until this year; 1 have gotten from 17 1 2 to 20 cents for tliis cotton?8 to 10 cents more than the common cotton. There will he a great deal ol i' planted in this county next year, 1 am sure. I will be able to se'l all my seed for $1.00 perbushei. I see in the Cultivator that Mr. C. E. Kagan of Conyers, says he got for his 15 1-2 cents; you see the difference in his s ?ies and mi ue. Now I find v\i!h the same land and everything else being equal it will make about the same number of pounds of seed cotton as the Pehc ?n, and it wil' about third itself. I gin-; tied l,oou pounds an i made pounds ol lint. It requires no more cure than any o: her cotton and the easiest picked of any cotton I ever picked. In ^oi'd t land with tlie use of four hundred pounds of high-grade guano I made three bales on three acres ; so you see tha' is not so bad; $100.00 per acre counts up right fast. I have been improving tn)' seed tor the last thr?e years, and they are at least lif-| ty per cent better than when 1 got them, and strange to say,! while it. is easy to pick, it dues! not blow out I am so well pleased with it tnat 1 will not plant: any other. We expect to get bet-; ter prices another year by forming a combine and getting 300 j or 400 bales together. When to Sow Timothy. Please inform us, through the columns of your paper, what time to sow timothy grass, and how many seed should he sown to the acre ? We have some lich bott ?mland. I wish to raise some hay. Riddick Hofler. (Jutes county, N. C. (Answer.) Timothy can he sown in Sep1 ember or early October if sowed in the fall. It should be sown at the ra'e of ab( ut a peck, 11 pounds, per acre, if sown alor^. 1' is be'ter to sow a m'xture of tii:i)thy, herd's grass and meadow fescue; 8 pounds timothy, 5 pounds red top, or herd grass, and one-half < bushel meadow fescue.?Propres- | eive Farmer. ! i I. - J i Twill rna.! y m fr <-,to pvn*e merit, sic.- 1 uiy Dr. JSiinop'H i?>?t??r;?tiv?*. ?rnT inv book on eitlii * Dyspepsia, The Heart or I I lie Kidnej-s, Troubles of tlie Stomach. i Heart or Kidneys, are no-rely symptoms h deeper a'linent.
