The Farmers’ Index. AU letters Intended for the Editor of this De partment should tie addressed, “Fabmbm' Indxx, Drawer 24, Atlanta, Ga.” FARM-WORK FOR AUGUST FODDER PULLING Is the characteristic work of this month, and, while it is true that the time em ploy ed in stripping the blades from the corn stalks in the usual manner, might be much more profitably employed in saving hay from properly prepared grass or pea meadows, yet if no other pro vision has been made for forage, it is the part of wisdom to “pull fodder.” We are not of those who would decry the value of corn fodder, though ready to admit that the cost of saving it is nearly equal to, and sometimes more than its worth. Well cured corn blades are equal to the best hay, and far better than most of the dry grass that has been brought from the West the present season. Analysis attests the truth of this proposition, and a well raised cow or mule gives it em phatic endorsement at the manger. The value of corn fodder depends as much on ite proper curing and handling as does that of ordinary bay. It may be bright and clean, and yet devoid, in great measure, of nutritive strength, from hav ing been wet, after partially curing, and then dried, or from being permitted to hang too long in the sun. The rule should be to expose the curing blades as short a time as possible to the fierce heat of the sun, and to avoid the effect of dew and other moisture. Arrangement for properly housing, or stacking in the field (temporarily),should be made before the work of pul'ing begins, so that the hands will not be unnecessarily hindered. Re member last season. If temporarily stacked in the field (and we prefer this plan) the poles should be in situ before commencing to pull. The blades should be stripped and during the forenoon hung in small handsful by the small ends to the stalks—without tying. The afternoon pulling may be tied in the old way in small “hands” and hung on the stalk. At 6 o’clock p. m. the fodder will “tie.” and all that was pulled up to noon of the same day should be “taken up” and stacked in single stacks. This rule should be observed throughout the sea son as far as practicable. After the stacks have stood twenty-four to fourty-eight hours, the fodder may be “hauled up” and stored in the barn or in large stacks. But if the work is pressing the hauling may be deferred until all is gathered. Fodder saved in this way will be much more nutritious than if allowed to hang on the stalks twenty-four to thirty-six hours or longer, as is often done. SECOND SPRING. August has sometimes been called the second spring, because the usual garden vegetables may often be succesfully grown as second crops. If the early part of the month be showery or seasonable, turnips, beets, tomatoes, etc., may be started and often do well. Tomatoes succeed very well, as alate fall crop, from cuttings planted from the old vines and well shaded for several days. Cat-tail and German millet may yet be sown>nd if the fall be favorable will furnish a usually much needed supply of green, succulent food. It should be borne in mind that the ground for late summer and fall plant ings of crops that are to mature befpre frost, should be very rich and well pre pared. For turnips there is no manure equal to good superphosphate. In fact superphosphate is a standard fertilizer that may be applied with profit to any profitable crop on almost every soil. LATE COTTON CULTURE. We commend the following from the Southern Cultivator as expressing our own views on the subject: “Cotton differs from corn in having no fixed period of maturity—frost stops its growth, otherwise (as in tropical climates) Ft would continue growing for years, making small trees. It is desirable there fore, to encourage growth and fruiting, ip to the time when any fruit formed may be expected to escape the average killing frost. This varies with different localities. In the locality where we write the Ist of September is about the limit. The perfection of cotten culture (if at tainable) would be the promoting of rapid growth from the beginning, up to time of first blooms—then steady, con tinuous but not rapid growth, up to, say three weeks of the limit described above —than a slacking off, with entire cessa tion of growth, by the time the limit is reached. This ideal whilst often beyond reach on account of weather, is measur ably attainable. The means are, rapid, deep cultivation in the first stage, less rapid and increasingly shallower culti vation during the first half of the second stage, with very little and very shallow cultivation in the last half. Such would be the procedure under favorable con ditions, but, if towards the last, severe drought prevails, the question of whether continued workings will pay comes up. With the crust formed by last rain broken, it is difficult to see what farther good plowings will do a cotton crop (if it be clean) in the closing stages of growth. T t sometimes happens, however, that with a crop thus plowed there may be small grass which does not attract much attention, but which when rains do set in, grows very rapidly and makes the crop so foul that one may regret not working it during a late drought. This point should be looked after and guard ed.” SOWING WHEAT. We are not ot those who ad vocate the growing of every crop —actually producing everything that may be needed on our farms. There is a limit in variety beyond which it is not desirable to go. The more important wants—in point of quantity—on a farm should be supplied by the farm, and a sufficient surplus of one or more of these should be produced to provide others of less importance. Food for man and beast is the greatest necessity, beyond doubt, that exists on a farm. But though variety is desirable, especially of articles of food for human comsumption, still it does not follow that the farmer should attempt to produce directly every article that may be desirable. The true rule is to grow a sufficient variety of crops, requiring to be planted and maturing at different times, to insure against a general or complete failure. And this variety, as a rule, ought to be confined to those crops which are best adapted to eur soil THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1881. and climate, least subject to casualities and failure, and most important. Wheat is not one of such crops. Flour bread is universally liked, but, after all, four or five bushels of wheat or a barrel of flour per head, is more than sufficient for home consumption. Wheat is a very uncertain crop in the Southern half of the Gulf States, requiring special preparation and favorable location of soil, and subject to the great pest-rust. Oats are a much more important crop than wheat, and far more certain of a profitable yield, and as they are sowed at the same season and reaped about the same time, it would seem that the chief advantage of variety is secured by planting only oats instead of wheat and oats, except in specially favored local ities. If we could induce every farmer in Middle and Southern Georgia to very largely increase the area of oats, even if wheat be entirely discarded, we would hardly hesitate to do so. OUR DUTY. Mr. John I. Parker of Thomas county has this to say in the Florida Dispatch : “Such are our advantages by nature, and yet, with plenty of fertile, all-prod ucing land, good labor, freely flowing, never failing water, abundant timber, railroads, good markets, mills, agricul tural machmes, factories, preachers, teachers, lawyers and doctors, we are notwithstanding poor and bankrupt. Why is It thus? Simply the overproduc tion of cotton to the neglect of everything else. Our trouble is, too much cotton, too much idleness or loss of time, too much credit, too much farm, a want of pride and interest in our business, an al most perfect lack of that public, enter prising spirit which keeps a people alive to their immediate interests and neces sities. Now let us make up our minds to be well to do, thrifty farmers, hifih minded honorable gentlemen, “the bone and sinew of all other trades and professions, the independent support of our families, and the pride of the nation. Let us ed ucate our children equel to any other people, and make our homes the pride of our families. It is not necessary that we be rich to do this; we have only to get "on the right track” and make sched ule time, and that is “early to bed and early to rise,” go to work, stick to your work, go to town only when you have business, have but little to do with pol itics, never drive an empty wagon to market, always sell more than you buy, pay cash as you go, live within your in come, owe no man, have a surplus of everything needed about your plantation, make everything not only meet but lap, don’t try to put on too much land and mu les and hire too much laborers, quit com plaining about the merchants’ profits, your doctor bills, lawyer fees, railroads, etc., until you get “on the right track” yourselves; organize just like they have done. Let every plantation be an or ■ ganization within itself, and then, and not until then, we can dictate terms to them; we can then smoke our cigars, drink lager beer, go to the springs as a summer recreation, etc.; but I must stop this, for I fear, I will lead you astray, for it is not In your line of business to drink lager beer and seek these summer resorts, for you can drink corn and cane beer, and you must be at home during the day and during the night, and your wife must be there when you are there, and there you are necessarily absent.” GERMAN MILLET. About the Ist of April last, I prepared abont two thirds of an acre well, by ploughing thrice, harrowing thoroughly, and scattering fifty pounds oil manipulated guano, and sowed it down in German Millet. Yesterday, (July 20th) I cut it, and notwithstanding the severe drought in May and June, got eight heavy two horse wagon loads of hay—between three and four tons. I have another patch of about the same size I prepared and sow ed in like manner about the first of June, putting on about double the amount of guano. The drought struck it at once, but still I will make at least half as much more. If will keep my stock well, five head, all through the winter, without a dozen bushels es corn. It is both corn and fodder. The seed cost me three dollars, and the yield will be worth all of one hundred dollars. It is all a mistake about its exhausting soil, if we will allow it to grow up In grass and weeds, and turn them over this fall before frost. On one of these patches, I had millet last year, and there it is better than on the balance of the same patch. I sprinkled about one bushel of salt tnrough it as we packed it away. This not only preserves it from mould but it makes the stock eat it up clean. Think of it. One acre and a quarter of land, at an expense of three dollars for seed, and some three or four days work for two hands, all told, from first to last, making plenty of nutritious food for at least five horses and mules for three or four months. Is not this worth the little extra trouble of a day or two, and is it not better than to buy western corn at extra prices to be paid for in cctton at low figures? Try it. 8. Henderson. Beech-Grove, Ala., July Ist, 1881. [We commend the above to the atten tion of farmers. It is not too late to sow Germa a millet on well prepared and rich ground, In Southern Georgia and Ala bama. The chief difficulty is the heavy dews that usually occur in September and October—the time for curing the hay. But injury from this source may be avoided by a little extra work in shock ing up at night.—Editor.] Bur Clover.—We recommend a trial of this comparatively new plan*, espe cially by the farmers of Middle and Southern Georgia. It is really not a clover at all, its more correct name be ing Spotted Medick— Medicago Sativa. It is an annual, springing up in late sum mer and fall, growing throughout the winter and dying down in April and May, after making abundant seed. It does well on Bermuda sod, making a good winter pasture on the same land that had sustained Bermuda during spring and summer. It is essentially a winter grazing plant, and is not well suited for hay, though we have seen very good hay made of it. It self-seeding property is a very valuable one. It produces an abun dant supply of seed which ripen in May, and the plant then dies —the seed cover ing the ground and beginning to come up in August.
