82 tHE SOUTHERN PLANTER. [January, require to be supplemented with corn to harden the meat. Their great value is as an appetizer. They enable the hogs to assimilate and utilize the grain feed better. 4. Pumpkins may be grown with corn without injuriously affecting the yield. Indeed, we have subscribers who grow them regularly and claim that they get a better yield with them than without. They say that the large leaves and vines shade the ground and conserve the moisture.—Ed. ALFALFA GROWING. I have one acre of land that has been in a garden and potato patch for the last two years. It is rich and I want to put it in alfalfa. Please advise me whether to sow it this spring or fall? Would it pay me to sow it in cow peas this spring, and can 1 get two crops of them and then sow alfalfa in the fall? I have enough horse stable manure to cover the land. How and when should it be put on? Is it best to buy seed of T. W. Wood & Son (inoculated) or will it be better to get the inoculating material fj-om Blacksburg and inoculate the seed W. R. PITTMAN. Southampton Co., Va. In your section the proper time to sow alfalfa is August. Prepare the land well this spring by ploughing deeply and breaking finely and if the land is infested with weeds keep it cultivated during the summer to kill out the weeds. Weeds are the greatest enemy to the alfalfa crop and until they are subdued you cannot expect to succeed. If the land is clean of weeds then sow cow peas and make the crop into hay in July. Then apply one ton of lime to the acre and work in with the disc harrow and let lay for a week or ten days, then apply the manure and with it 300 pounds to the acre of bone meal and again work in thoroughly with the disc or a cultivator, and having secured a fine seed bed sow the seed broadcast at the rate of 25 pounds to the acre. Either buy the inoculated seed or secure the bacteria from Blacksburg and inoculate the seed yourself, following the instructions very carefully. Harrow in the seed so as to give it a cover of two or three inches.—Ed. PEANUT FERTILIZER. Please send me fertilizer formula for peanuts. Our crop is short this season. S. B. E. Surry Co., Va. If you will refer to our issue of May last, page 441, you will fiDd full advice on the best methods and fertilizer for growing peanuts successfully. The mere application of any particular fertilizer is not of itself sufficient to ensure a profitable crop. There should be a radical improvement of the fertility of the land brought about by the adoption of a rotation of crops What A. I. M. Has Done For Others, it Will Do For You. There is no proof like promises performed. The following brief testimonials are stronger proof that A. I. M. is a core for all forms of Indigestion, if taken as directed, than anything we can say. Read Every Word of This H. H. Cochran, car Inspector at S. A. L,. Depot, Columbia, S. C.t Two bottles of A. I. M. entirely cured me of Indigestion. E. H. Foote, Roanoke, Va.: I was afflicted with Indigestion for over two years. I used A. I. M. and it has cured me entirely. Louis Fowlse, Newbern, Tenn.: A. I. M. cured my wife of Indigesion. It has also cured John Garland, who has been a sufferer of the same disease for three years. It has made many other cures In Newbern. Oct. 8, 1904. J. M. Norman, Rockport: I have suffered for several years with Dyspepsia, and tried every remedy I could hear of, but got no relief till I used A. I. M. One bottle made a final cure. It is the best medicine I ever used. You can be cured if you are willing. Go to your druggist or general store and get a bottle. If your dealer can't supply you, then send us one dollar for two large-size fifty-cent bottles. ACID IRON niNERAL CO. RICHMOND, VIRQINIA. Removes All Desire for Liquor.

The best method of doing this is to grow crimson clover or vetches for a winter crop and cow peas for a summer crop, these to be ploughed down. To secure a good growth of these acid phosphate at the rate of 250 pounds to the acre should be applied and 75 pounds of muriate of potash to the acre should also be applied, as the light lands upon which this crop is grown are usually deficient in potash. Lime also is very essential to the peanut and the cow pea crop should be followed with a dressing of lime at the rate of one ton to the acre. When the lands are thus improved physically and mechanically then a proper fertilizer to use at planting the nuts is 300 pounds of cotton seed meal, 80 pounds of acid phosphate and 240 pounds of kainit or 65 pounds of muriate of potash may be used instead of the kainit.—Ed. COW GIVING BLOODY MILK. I have a fine cow that gives bloody milk. Can you give me a remedy? If so, what is it? Please answer in The Planter. J. D. PERKINS. Grayson Co., Va. Blood may escape with the milk when the udder has been injured by blows, also when it is congested or inflamed, when the circulation through it has been suddenly increased by richer and more abundant food or when the cow is under the excitement of heat. It may also result from eating acrid or irritant plants like the rannucalacese, resinous plants, etc. Deposits of tubercle or tumours in the udder or induration of the glands may be efficient causes, the irritation caused by milking contributing to draw the blood. The treatment will vary with the cause. In congested glands give one pound of Epsom salts and daily We'll send the new book for 10 cents (barely covers postage and wrapping) if you mention this paper. We don't sell silos—we make the "Ohio" Ensilage Cutters and believe after read- ing the book you'll remember us and write for price when ready to buy. That explains this offer. Send to-day.
