• The Farmers’ Index. AU letters intended for the Editor of this De portment should be addressed, “Farmkrs' Index, Drawer 24, Atlanta, Ga." THE WEATHER AND WORK. A most delightful and welcome change has occurred since our last. The long expected spring put iu a tardy appear ance on the 18th instant, and apparently has come to stay this time. The “full moon in April” ha* appealed and waned, and there are no propecies of evil wea ther just in the future that need disturb the farmers dreams. While corn is late —and in many places twice planted, on account of killing by frost—cotton will not be very late in getting off if no un toward accidents befall it. The most em barrassing circumstance lies in the fact that in many places both crops will need working at the same time, as cotton will be no, and waiting before the corn can be plowed. As we said last week, corn must on no account be neglected. We doubt if this crop ever fully recovers from a serious drawkack or neglect suf fered at any stage of its growth. It is certain that bygood preparation and man uring of the soil and its prompt working during the early stages of growth, where by strength and vigor of the plants are secured, the crop is better prepared to withstand the effects of drouth or other disaster of the future. , COTTON PLANTING. The planting of the last rows of cotton should now no longer be deferred. Os late years the tendency has been to plant later under the conviction that the plants will grow larger aud mature a heavier crop. This is doubtless true on old, thin land, on which earl / planted cotton is often so dwarfed by early casualties and its growth entirely checked by an early crop of fruit, that it fails to attain full size and fruitage- But it is not safe to defer planting later than Ist of May in the upper portion of the cotton States proper—eLe the crop will be cut off by the early fall frosts. It is often found very convenient Io plow a portion of the corn crop—or even run ’round the whole of it—after plant ing about half the area intended for cot ton. Where the corn is large enough to plow by the twentieth to twentyfiith of April it is an excellent plan, thus to get the corn started off well in advance so that it may be layed by early in June, and the cotton crop receive unremitting attention. We trust that many of our readers have planted at least a portion of their crops in hills or checks—using the very best gee( j_ an d w ill be prepared to give their experience of the plan next fall. In advance of the time for plowing cotton, we would suggest the use of an implement that will straddle thfte row and plow both sides at once. This plan will save half the time, and side the cotton more effectually than the old way, but is not applicable where the crop is planted in hills, unless it be so contrived that the horse mav not walk on the row. Where the cotton has come up in freshly prepared and smooth land, and no heavy rains have fallen, it will often be better to hoe it - or ‘‘chop it out”—be fore plowing. GERMAN CARP. This new variety of pond fish promises to be a great acquisition to Georgia and the South generally. Though new to us, the carp has been cultivated for centuries in Germany and Austiia, and it is be lieved was brought originally from China where it has been carefully propagated for probably ten or more centuries. The long course of domestication to which it has been subjected has had the same effect as upon swine and some other domestic animals, tome of which have been so changed and improved that they can hardly be certainly traced to the original wild type. The most noticeable result of domes tication of wild animals is the much greater disposition to fatten, more rapid growth, and greater prolificness. The improvement in swine from the wild hog is most remarkable. We think this the ory will, in great measure, account for the superiority of the carp over the ord inary varieties that have heretofore been taken from the streams and placed in artificial fish ponds. For many years it has been the fashion to recommend the construction of fish ponds, and the culture of fish as a cheap source of food as well as of amusement. But it has been patent all the time that a Very small measure of success has at tended all efforts in that line heretofore. The varieties—trout, bream, chub, etc.— which were generally relied on, have been too slow ot growth and unsatisfac tory in other respects. But the carp seems to meet all the re quirements of practical pond culture. They are mt a game fish—do not bite readily at a hook, though .they may be captured in that way—but this is rather in their favor than otherwise, since poachers cannot readily take them. The chief advantage of the the carp is due to the fact that they are thoroughly domesticated, and thrive in confined areas and almost i-tagnant water, where most as our native varieties would lan guish and die. They live to a great age and grow to immense size. A celebrated individual of the species is reported as having recently died in France at the supposed age of four hundred years. This maybe a hoax, but there are authentic ac counts of carp that have attained to one hundred years, and to a weight of ninety pounds. They are said to grow until they reach the age of thirty-five years. The Department of Agriculture of Georgia is doing a good work in distrib uting carp all oyer the State. Already about four thousand have been sent out by Commissioner Henderson—besides a considerable number by our Congress men to their constituents. In the acqnarium at the Department Rooms in Atlanta there is a specimen of a carp weighing four pounds—one of the first lot ever received in Georgia—and now only erghteen months old. We vis ited' the pond of Col. A. B. Culberson, at West End, the other day and were surprised and delighted at witnessing eleven carp —the number placed therein about sixteen months ago—averaging ab.jd; three pounds each. The culture of carp is destined to open a new source of supply of caeap and wholesome animal food to the people of this country. Heretofore, except to the favored few, fresh fish has been one of the luxuries of life, to be enjoyed only occasionally by the man of moderate means. If they THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, APRIL 2,8, 1881. can be supplied to our markets at six to eight cents per pound they will be a most welcome addition to, or substitute for the salt bacon and fish, and high-priced beef and mutton. EDITORIAL JEALOUSY (f). When glancing over our agricultural exchanges—of which we receive quite a number -we have often had occasion to notice what appears to be a want of re ciprocity of good will, or at least the ab sence of any expression or other evid ence of it. This seems to be especially noticeable between those papers that oc cupy the same or overlapping territory, and is not confined to any paiticular sec tion of the country; but we regret most to see it in our Southland, where there is every reason for a cordial, united, brotherly effort on the part of all friends of Southern agriculture. We pick up one of our regular agricultural monthlies and often look in vain for the slightest recognition of the existence of any other paper in the same section. Sometimes, indeed, there appears a stiff formal “notice”, that reminds us of the bow with which a duellist salutes his antagonist on the “field of honor”(?), but no hearty, voluntary expressions of good will or commendation. To one who reads them all, it must be a matter of wonder how they can discuss the pract ical questions in which all reading far mers take interest, without alluding to or quoting from each other. They do not even allude to “the paper from Mid dle Georgia’’ or the “admirable monthly from Alabama’’—in the polite fashion of legislators and politicians. We are pretty certain that our agri cultural papers would be even more ac ceptable than they are already to their readers (and even more profitable?) if they were less “offish” to each other and would each avail itself of the good things of the others, and spread a more varied feast to its readers. There should be “union of eflort” among agricultural writers and journals as well as among farmers themselves. What we preach to others we must practice ourselxes. There should be no dissension, or cold ness, or jealousy between those who as sume to teach the principles and practice of the great science of agriculture. Only the other day we were reading in a Southern agricultural paper, an ed* itorial on this very subject, setting forth, n brief, views similar to those here given, and winding up with an exhortation. Yet in the same paper, while there were numerous clippings from Northern, Eastern, and Western papers, we obser ved bpt one article from a Southern paper, and it was credited to the grneric portion only of the name of the paper from which it wastaken—as if a political paper should credit “Tribune” only, when there are perhaps a dozen “Tribunes” in the country. We trust our regular agricultural pap ers will not consider the little Farmer’s Index as presumptous or hypercritical, for we have only an honest desire to point out in a good natured spirit, what we conceive to be a blemish if not a serious fault in agricultural journalism. CABBAGE WORMS. I am satisfied from my observation for the past few weeks that salt is the most practical remedy we have for this insect. This may be applied by sprinkling a little in the growing head from time to time, but the better way is to apply the salt in the form of a weak brine, renew ing as often as occasion seems to require. Os course, if the brine is strong it will kill the cabbage the tame as it would other forms of vegetation, but a weak brine does not injure the plants, while it drives away worms already at work, and prevents the butteiflies from depos iting any more eggs. One gardener who has been experiment ing with the brine says, that had he known of it in season to set out his plants he would have raised a crop of fall cabbages for the market, for he re gards it as a perfect protection. Another states that he put brine on a part of his cabbages where the worms were already at work, the heads being large enough for market. A number of days afterwards upon cutting them he found no evidence of work upon them, while there were plenty in the others. In my own garden I have put a little fine salt in several heads, and find the right quantity a protection without injury, out there is danger that the outside or top leaf of the head will be killed, hence the application of the salt in the form cf a weak brine seems to be the best method. — Exchange. e ♦ » A bloated body does not always belong to an inebriate. Kidney troubles will cause bloat, but Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has never failed to remove it. A Losing Joke. —A' prominent physician of Pittsburgh said, jokingly, to a lady pa tient who was complaining of her continue! ill health, and of his inability to cure her, ‘hry Hop Bitters I” The lady took it in eai nest and used, the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent health. She now laughs at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so well phased with it, as it cost him a gcod patient.—Harrisburg Patriot.
