Friday at 2 p. m. we left Atlanta, by invitation, to attend the annual picnic of the Ocmulgee larmer'a Club of Bibb county We were met at Bolingbroke by our good friend and staunch Granger, Eden Taylor, Esq., Secretary of the Geor gia State Grange, and without incident of note, re cited hie farm about dusk, where we were met with a Georgia welcome. Mr. Taylor’s residence is moat charmingly situated on an emi nence that commands an extensive view of the rolling, but fertile fields of old Monroe. By the way, the place was owned by the writer’s father, some fifty years ago, long before this depon ent saw the light; and in a thick grove near by the present stately mansion, are found only a few bricks to mark the spot where our ante-natal paternal ■domicil once stood. The grounds and fields around the house and as far as our observation ex tended, bore evidence of skillful exer cise of the Granger’s art; and there are attractions of a different character, which well merit, and doubtless receive the admiring attention of lovers of beauty and grace in the human form divine. The club room is located near the residence of Capt. Robt. E. Park, on the banks of the beautiful Ocmulgee, and about ten or twelve miles north of Macon. By 10 o’clock the grove was thronged with a goodly assemblage of the intelligent farmers..of that part of Bibb and the adjoining portion of Monroe, with wives and daughters, and a smart sprinkling of Macon folks —among them a score of Mercer boys. Os the speaking it does not become us to say anything, but we feel perfectly free to express our high gratification at the pleasure we enjoyed with new acquaintances and old, and in the per sonal recognition of many kinships. The dinner was unsurpassed by any in our recollection, and on the whole the occasion was one to be long remem bered. This part of Middle Georgia is unexcelled for the natural beauty of its gently rolling surface, the fertility of its soil, the intelligence and hospitality of its citizens, and healthfulness of its water and air. Ocmulgee Farmer’s Club, we were told, originated many years ago, in a country debating society. It has given full proof of its usefulness in the en lightened spirit of progress that has been shed abroad among the farmers, and which has enabled them to com pete successfully with any portion of the State. Its comfortable club room was built with the proceeds of a premi um awarded the club at the State Fair, several years ago, for the best county display, and after a most spirited con test. We doubt if there is a live-er club in Georgia, and we heartily com mend its example to other sections. Saturday night we spent with a most excellent and worthy kinsman, who in the matter of children could “see” our six and “go six better.” Our readers must not suppose from the above expression, that we are versed in gaming phraseology. We use the phrase almost so innocently as our host was said to have used a similar one on an occasion when engaged in earnest prayer for the success of a protracted meeting—that he "might be the Lord’s right bower." When asked by Madame de Stael .( we believe it was) who was the great est woman in France, Napoleon replied “she who has born the greatest num ber of children.” Long may these “jewels of the househould” reflect the radiance of purity and gentleness, im parted by the careful hands of father and mother to the joy and comfort of approaching age. Sunday morning we attended service at D imascus church, and heard an ex cellent sermon by Rev. W. C. Bass, D.D., of Macon. Dinner time fonnd us, with several friends, at the hospit able Bachelor's Hall of Mr. J. My rick, in the midst of a fine old plantation. The house is surrounded by groves and well tilled fields, and within all is com fort and welcome and good cheer. Our friend only needs one additional orna ment to complete the attractions of his home and comfort his lonelyness. We spent the afternoon and early evening at the home of Capt. A. H. Lockett where we were most delight fully entertained until the hour for the train arrived, when we boarded it, and soon arrived in Atlanta. The recollections of the trip, thus ended, will be treasured as the most pleasant of our life, and already anti cipations of a repetition in the future steal over our mind. GERMAN MILLET. The rage for planting this crop is not so great as it was several years ago, and some even condemn it as unworthy of attention; but the weight of testi mony is in its favor as a valuable addi tion to our list of forage crops. It is now a good time to sow it, which should be done on well plowed and rich soil at the rate of one bushel of seed per acre. It is hardly worth while to put German millet on poor land. Its habit of quick growth and the thick seeding necessary to reduce the size of the stalks, causes a very heavy draught on the resources of the THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1881. soil. Besides it makes a large quantity of seed even when sow thick enough for forage. When cut at the right stage and well cured, mules will do well on millet hay without corn. For hay it is much better suited than the cat tail millet —Pearl millet. The latter is best for long continued cutting and feeding green. In fact, we know of no plant that equals the cat tail in this respect, as it will bear to be cut four or five times, and sedßis to thrive upon it. It has also the additional merit, that while the soil cannot be too rich for it, yet owing to its tall habit jit will make fair growth and do moderately well on moderately rich ground. Cat-tail mil let is not suited for hay-making, while German millet is BERMUDA GRASS. Mr. Z. I. H. Moore gives, in the Southern Cultivator, a new way to “kill Bermuda grass.” He says—“ Turn hogs and cattle on it for three years, and take care of them as you do of your cotton, and you will never want to kill it." And we believe it. During a re cent visit to Monroe county, we saw several fields of Bermuda that were considered as profitable to the owners as any cotton or corn field. Energetic farmers find no insuperable difficulty in managing the Bermuda fields so as to produce crops of oats every year, if desired, and even cotton is successfully grown. One of the chief merits of this grass depends upon its tenacity of life, —also considered its most objectionable feature —by those who have been brought up to look upon grass as an unmitigated evil. We have no doubt there are men in Georgia to-day who would be willing to see every variety of it etterminated from the earth. Tbe possibilities of Middle Georgia with a proper appreciation of the value of Bermuda are grand. We believe the day will come when every hill and vale will be clothed in verdue and pro ductiveness, such as few of the old set tlers ever dreamed of. For twenty or thirty years past we have heard of the gullies or red clay-galls of Middle Geor gia as if they were the signet of decay and desolation. But the red clay of this section abounds in all the inorganic elements of fertility, and the soil needs only to be covered and filled with the remains of vegetable growth—humus—to teem with a productiveness that is rarely dreamed of by the old style farmer who believes that soil never grows better, but always poorer by cultiva tion. FERTILITY—HOW IT ORIGIN ATES. If we took a quantity of rocks, such as we find in the various parts of the earth’s surface —granite, slate, quartz, limestone, etc. —and, after grinding them to different degrees of fineness, were to mix them together in different proportions, we could, from the known composition of these various rocks, produce soils which would contain the most important mineral ingredients of plant food in very different proportions. Assuming that we purposely made one soil as rich as we could in this food, one as poor as we could, with two others in intermediate stages, and then left them exposed to the ordinary in fluence of sun and rain—l am here as suming the. experiment to be tried up on several acres, and the artificial soil to be several feet deep—we should find that the seeds of plants carried by the winds and other agencies would spread and grow upon these soils with very different degrees of rapidity; and, as suming that we were able to watch the process for thousands of years, we might see several remarkable changes in the character of the vegetation. The surplus of the winter store of acorns laid up by a mouse might give rise to a forest of oaks, thick enough to des troy all the previous vegetation of grass, and again an accidental fire or a hurri cane might sweep away the forest veg etation, to be replaced by growth of some other kind. The character and amount of the vegetation would differ greatly on the different soils, and the largest amount would be found on the soil where the plant could get the largest amount of food. There being no carbon or combined nitrogen in the soil, the first plants would be entirely dependent upon what they could obtain of these sub stances, directly or indirectly, from the atmosphere. Rainwater always contains ammonia, and the plant and soil may condense a certain further amount from the atmosphere; but growth, even in the soil richest in min eral food, would at first be small, as the decomposition of carbonic acid and fix ation of carbon would be limited by the amount of combined nitrogen which the plant could obtain from the sources mentioned above; and it would be much greater where the most abun dant mineral food existed, every particle of nitrogen would be there used up; while where there was less mineral food, some of the nitrogen might pass through the soil and be lost. Each year a certain portion of the vegetable growth dies off; leaves and branches fall, and portions of the roots decay; the greater part of the organic portion which falls upon the surface of the ground returns again to the atmos phere, but a certain part remains, and added to that which decays under ground, becomes available for future growth. The atmosphere of the soil, which at first differed little from that which exists above it, becomes highly charged with carbonic acid, which de composes the mineral in the soil; and thus, year by year, more and more of the nitrogen, collected by each genera tion of plants, becomes available for the generation that succeeds it. Upon the greater number of the or dinary soils the proportion of both car bon and nitrogen becomes less and less as we penetrate below thesurface: con sequently these substances must have had their origin in vegetation which had once grown upon the surface. Some soils which are called alluvial, [Kisses a subsoil fertility, which appears to have been a deposit derived from the remains of vegeiation washed from other soils. Fertility is therefore due to the organic residue of previous gen erations of plants, mixed with certain mineral substances, the most important of which are phosphoric acid and potash.— Dr. Lawes.
