REFRIGERATING WITHOUT ICE.
We occasionally read of devices for
cooling and keeping cool, without ice,
butter and such like things. The pro
cess generally depends upon the principle
that evaporation of moisture from the
surface of an object has the effect of re
ducing its temperature or that of any
substance in contact with it. Let a plate
of butter be set in a shallow pan or dish
of water and a porous earthen-ware
flower pot be inverted over it, so as to
dip into the water. If the flower pot be
unglazed, or of such material that it will
draw up the water and keep itself con
stantly wet, the evaporation will reduce
the temperature of the pot and of the
butter considerably—not so low as is of
ten stated, but enough to make the but
ter comparatively firm.
The reduction of temperature thus ef
fected depends upon two conditions of
the air, vizdryness and motion. The
less moisture there is present in the air
the more rapid will be the evaporation
of moisture from the surface of any ar
ticle. The air may then be said to be
more thirsty. At the same time, the
motion or constant change of the air
with reference to the object to be cooled
has the effect of increasing evaporation
by constantly presenting frdsh and dryer
air to the evaporating surface. The dry er
the air, then, and the greater the cir
culation, the greater will be the cooling
effect of such a contrivance as we have
described. On a damp, muggy day, the
evaporation and its consequent cooling
effect will be at a minimum; on a dry,
breezy day—at a maximum. In very
warm wehther such an expedient cannot
be more effectual than the continual,
direct application of cold well or spring
water, but it has the advantage of being
more convenient, as the water used in
keeping the pot wet need not itself to be
cold.
The process may be varied in its mode,
of application—the principle being the'
same. A pitcher of milk, or a melon
may be closely wrapped with one or two
folds of thin cloth which may be kept
constantly wet by water dripping slowly
from a vessel placed above it.
On a dry, hot day in summer, when
there is no prospect of rain, the temper
ature of a body may be reduced usually
from twelve to twenty degrees by evap
oration-provided there be a free cir
culation of air—and sometimes even
more. The amount of reduction by this
means is a fair indication of the proba
bility of rain—the greater the reduction
the less the prospect for rain, and vice
versa.
Upon this very principle the psychro
meter, or wet and dry bulb thermometer
is constructed. It consists of two equal
thermometers similarly exposed,the bulb
of one being kept constantly wet by hav
ing one end of a piece of hollow lamp
wick drawn over it, the end dipping into
a small cup of water. The difference be
tween the readings of the two thermo
meters is a more or less reliable indica
tion of the probability of rain. Such an
instrument is in constant use at each of
the signal stations of the country.
BERMUDA GRASS.
“Does it ever get beyond the farmer’s
control?
“Has it ever taken possession of plant
ations in Georgia, and forced the owners
to give them up ?
"What is the best means of destroying
it when there is a small quantitX?”
Your correspondent asked for informa
tion. I give you my observation and ex*
perience of seventy years. That takes us
back to its first introduction into the vic
inity of Powelton, Hancock county, Ga.
Seventy years ago my father lived one
mile and a half from Powelton, on the
road thence to Greensboro. The house
and kitchen yard were about 100 yards
from the road, with an outer gate open
ing on the road, and two acres inter
vening between the yard gate and the
outer gate. The yard was near an acre,
set with young forest growth, except on
the northeast corner where no trees
grew.
About April, seventy years ago, my
father returned one evening from Sparta,
after serving as grand Juror. Horse-back
was the only style of travel in those days,
with saddle bags for his wardrobe. He
had been gone a long time, three days
and two nights, to attend court; and
staid until it adjonrned. A long journey,
thirteen miles. A great occasion, and a
grand business. All glad to see him,
just at night, wife, mother and children.
I was one of these, I remember it well,
just eleven years old.
In he came, saddle bags on his arm,
sat down, saddle bags between his feet,
said court was over, began to draw the
strap with the brass hasp that closed the
open edge of the bags at the middle. We
stood around, on tip toe, to see what
would come out. A ginger cake, we
thought, but dare not ask. One would
be a thrip, two for seven pence, and four
for pistereen. Yes, four, we thought;
there were four of us. But no, the sad
die bags opened, out came a paper
bundle about the size of a quart pot.
Here, said pa to ma, is a wonderful
thing for the yard, “Bermuda Grass.” A
friend gave the roots. Here they are,
and we will set the yard and need no
more mats.
This was the first of Bermuda Grass
in that region, seventy years ago. It was
not seen or heard of before. It was new
to every one.
Next day the plows were set going in
the yard, plowing and cross plowing. The
ground was then raked over and check
ed with a scooter, two feet each way,
and one sprig put in each check most
carefully.
It all grew readily; and in two years
it covered the yard, and was feeling'its
way to the garden in the rear, and the
big gate on the road. There was no stop
ping it. Cattle, hogs and sheep would
carry it in their feet everywhere they
went.
For the next four years I observed the
progress of Bermuda grass. I then had
never seen it elsewhere, but since have
reason to believe that about this time it
had been introduced in Greene, Ogle
thorpe and Wilkes counties.
In 1817, sixty-four years ago, I went to
Franklin College. Dr. Findley died,
and I was transferred to South Carolina
College, Columbia. Coming home at
intervals, I noticed the progress of Ber
muda grass at and around my father’s
house.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JULY 21, 188 I .
In December 1819,1 returned from col
lage. This grass had taken possession of
my father’s plantation, had gone into
the public highway, and was moving to
wards Powelton and Greensboro. This
wat sixty years ago, and eight years
from the time it was brought to my fa-,
liter’s house.
I have not seen that locality since.
The people there can advise you, but
from what I have seen and heard, it has
possession to the Savannah river, to
Thomson on the Georgia Railroad and
to the Chattahoochee West and North.
In 1826, fifty-five years ago, I b gan
house keeping in Eatonton, Ga.., on the
lot now occupied by Mr. Edmund Reid.
The house fronted to the courthouse, on
the street from the church to Milledge
ville, seventy five yards from and south,
of this street. The garden then was
where now is a commanding grove of
forest trees, but then a rich ground
plentifully stocked with best vegetables
and not a tree in it.
Between the house and street, about a
rod from the front door, was a small gate
opening into the garden.
From the door to the gate was a foot
way, well set with Bermuda grass about
half a rod wide. There was no other
such grass in the vicinity, and this only
a rod by half a rod.
It must be destroyed, we said, or lose
the garden; and we went at it with
shovel, grubbing hoe, and rake in the
spring. It was dug to the bottom, the
roots carefully separated and put into a
wheelbarrow and wheeled into the street.
It required several days. It was care
fully raked over and leveled.
We looked at it with satisfaction, be
lieving it was all killed. But in Septem
ber following it came up as thick as
wheat.
Not discouraged, we repeated the work
next spring, putting every spadeful of
earth through a sieve, and the roots into
a wheelbarrow, and then into a fire in
the kitchen—kept up for that purpose,
because what we put in the street grew
finely and was coming at us from that
point.
• We completed the Job, and felt sure
we had a triumph. But next season it
came again as thick as wheat. We gave
it up as it was now entering into the
garden.
When then plowed it up and set the
ground up in all manner of forest trees,
not excepting old field pines, sweet gum
and maple, elm, etc. From this, this
grass took Eatonton and Putnam county.
It now covers all the adj icent counties.
Fifty years ago, Mr. J. L. Moody, a
thorough cultivator, lived on the Wade
farm, six miles from Madison, on the
road to Eatonton. Bermuda grass got a
set in his lane, between two fields of
choice land. He was a man of strong
purpose and determined will, and had
ample men and horse power, and resolv
ed to exterminate it. He plowed, hoed,
and raked it up, and hung it up on the
fence, and stumps, and stakes, so that at
midday it made one feel as if the shades
of evening, or the long moss that hangs
upon the trees on the Florida line, were
about him. Moody thought he had kil
led it, but next spring it took the field.
Forty years ago I passed, Moody had
left. The plantation was in Bermuda
grass, and a waste, while a good two
story brick mansion looked like -a de
serted castle.
During the was I refuged from Etowah
to AthenSj and Wilkes county. I found
this grass in possession from Chattahoo
chee river to Augusta on that line; also
from Atlanta to Macon and Columbus,
and from Columbus to Newnan.
I have not observed it in Cherokee, Ga.
It would be sad to see it here, as this
section is now ruined and impoverished
by cotton and guano. Clover, rye aAI
pea vines are the rescue. These will not
stand with Bermuda. Without these
and a change of crop products, the
country will jje handed over to “Ber
muda” and the present owners must
leave.
Middle Georgia is its place, climate
and soil. It needs a warm climate. Very
cold weather kills it. It retires from a
dense forest, covered with leaves, and
goes to sunny places.
It is self-sustaining, will, live in stony
ground and thin soil. Luxuriates in rich
land, up or low land, and in wet places.
It sods in a quag mire so tnat you may
walk over on it. It will cross small
streams, grow in the water and dam
them up. It will hold up railroad em
bankments, and live and grow on .the
bare naked red clay hills, cross and fill
up the gullies, making on the clay in its
innumerable fibrous roots a rich black
mould to feed on. It is the best for cattle,
horse, sheep and hogs to graze on. They
prefer it, and the hoof does not hurt it.
It is the first in spring and last in fall,
but the upper growth dies in winter.
A moderate crop of corn or cotton may
be made where it is by a determined pur
pose and power enough.
“Best means to destroy a small quantity."
Feed and fatten hundred hogs on a quar
ter of an acre from Ist of September to
25th of December. They will kill it.
The grass may have its time to live and
period to die. If so, I have not lived long
enough to know it. I have never seen
its blossom or its seed.
Mark A. Cooper.
[Our venerable friend has made many
strong points in behalf of Bermuda in his
entertaining article. Indeed, with the
single exception of its hay producing
quality (which he probably overlooked)
little more could be said in favor of any
grass —perhaps not so much. It only re
mains for the reader—in the light of
much more recent experience of Middle
Georgia farmers —to decide whether or
no he will risk it on his farm. We think
if one half of the area now devoted to
cotton in Middle Georgia, were covered
with Bermuda grass, and sheep and
other grazing stock, the country would
be infinitely better off. Editor.]
