The Farmers’ Index. FARM WORK FOR OCTOBER. The seasons, to date, have been gene rally favorable for the operations of the farmer—not too much rain for cotton and yet enough to keep the potatoes and other late crops in a growing condition, and to facilitate the sowing of turnips and fall glasses. The most important work of this month is the sowing of rye and oats, es pecially the latter. In North Georgia it were better if the sowing of oats had all been done in September; but they may still be put in with comparative safety. October is the very time to sow them in Middle and Southwest Georgia. Our suggestions about sowing them in cotton land have already been several times presented to our readers. We ap pend a short extract on the subject: “Mr. D. Wyatt Aiken, in the Charles ton (S. C.) A’t’ws and Courier, says: , Early in September, 1879, I started four plows (simply shovels) “running round” the cotton in a field of forty-two acres. Behind these plows followed a man sowing broadcast among the cotion red rust-proof oa’s, two bushels to the acre. Behind the sower followed two more plows, with sweeps, giving a single furrow to the row, and covering the seed almost as fast as they were sown. Before sunset of the fourth day the field was sown with about ninety bushels of oats. Three weeks ago I threshed my crop, and measured up at the thresher 1,260 bushels of oats.” In many fields the cotton has been so thoroughly gathered that even the stalks may be plowed up and the ground sown broadcast. Extra care should be taken to gather all the peas possible and force the ani mals in pasture to appropriate the spon taneous growth of the corn fields, saving the peas for winter use, and for seed. We would suggest to our readers the propriety of utilizing the late growth of cotton w’eed as food for stock. During a short visit to the country a few days since, we noticed quite a vigorous top growth on all the cotton that had not been destroyed by rust. It is well known that stock are fond of the green stalks, and tnere can be little doubt of their be ing very nutritious. These tops might be cut and daily fed to horses and cows and thereby greatly help out during this' time of scarcity. Dr. Bailey—the great apostle of ensilage—even recommends the storing of green cotton in silos for winter and spring feeding. Possibly a fair quality of hay might be made of it if carefully cured. A bale of well cured bright, 'cotton st dk hay might bring it g exhibitor a medal at the approaching Cotton Exposition- We suggest that some ol our enterprising farmers make the experiment, and demonstrate that cotton can feed as well as clothe. IRRIGATION. A correspondent frim Thomson, Ga., says: “ You sometimes speak of the advan tages of irrigation, that we know; but what is more important for us to know is how are the hilltops to be irrigated. Is there any way whereby the lands above the branches and creeks can be readily watered in dry weather ? Let us hear something about it soon.” We have no doubts whatever of the great benefits that may be derived from irrigation under circumstances which render it necessary, and in connection with a system of high culture. Irriga tion has been practiced from remote an tiquity in those countries where, with out it,' the soil would have been una vailable for ordinary farm crops, though abounding in all other elements of fertil ity; as, for instrnce the valley of the Nile. There, the soil is wonderfully fertile—made and kept so by the annual inundation of this great river. The more ancient inhabitants probably relied sole ly upon such crops as would mature without further moisture than that left after the recession of the overflow. But succeeding generations devised and con structed great systems of dykes, canab and reservoirs, by means of which a much larger area was brought under sue cessful cultivation, and it was possible to distribute the supplies of water as need ed for various successive crops. But it must be remembered that very Ifttle rain fell in lower Egypt—not enough to nour ish vegetation—which made such irriga tion absolutely necessary; and the exceed’ ing fertility of the soil justified immense’ outlays of’labor to extend and perfect the system of irrigation. In more modern times Italy furnishes an example of artificial irrigation under natural circumstances more like those snrrounding us. In that kingdom rains are not so frequent or copious as in this country, and tne soils are perhaps not better than our own, naturally. But the long practice of the higher arts of culture by the Italians—liberal manuring, and a general intensive system, has not on ly made a regular supply of water—in dependent of rain showers—more impor tant, but, at the same time has enabled the farmers to incur the heavy (to us) expenses of land and water rents. Irri gation and high culture have so re-acted on each other, that each has made the other more profitable. But the practical question suggested by the above is,—can we successfully practice a general system of irrigation in this country ? Are our drouths so fre quent and protracted and our soils under favorable circumstances (plenty of rain) so productive as to justify the inaugura tion of anything like a general system of irrigation? Wetbinknot. There must be greater improvement in the methods and details of culture which are under the immediate control of the farmer, be fore he can hope to become independent of the clouds by resorting to irrigation. Spring and summer drouths are not the greatest agricultural evils in the South ; and we think there is a cheaper way to avoid their effects than be an expensive system of irrigation—at least in thepres ent condition of our agriculture. There is too much room for improvement of a practical and non-experimental charac ter, that ought to be occupied before we invtst our scanty earnings in dams and ditches that may not be needed for two or three successive seasons. But under an intensive system of cul ture, artificial irrigation may be made to act as a most important, if not indispen sable, factor. The celebrated yield of corn produced by Dr. Parker in South Carolina (over 200 bushels per acre) and many others of less note, would hardly have been possible with the most favor able seasons, but were secured by arti ficial irrigation, very heavy manuring, and THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1881. the mod thorough preparation. Our richest natural soils—river and creek low grounds are capable of producing very fair crops in dry years when up lands would almost entirely fail. But such yields would be very grdatly in creased if the ground could be watered at will. The plants would not then have to be spaced with reference to a dry year, but solely to the maximum yield of the soil under the most favorable cir cumstances. Experiments in irrigation, then, should begin with the portions of the fields lying adjacent to a stream and but little elevated above it, and extended to higher ground as experience may direct. •t is usual to throw a dam across the stream at some convenient point at a level sufficiently high to control the wa ter and to force it into a hill-side canal. This canal should have a very gentle fall and should be wide and deep in propor tion to the quantity of w’ater to be used, the latter being controlled by a gate at the upper end or inlet. Below this canal and only a few feet distant a small ditch should be accurately run on a per fect level, and a succession of such ditches every twenty to fifty feet (acc >rd ing to the declivity) until the bed of the original stream below the dam is reached. The water being turned on in the main canal, it is drawn from it .through small gates at convenient dis tances along its lower bank and allowed to fill the first small ditch, from which it overflows in a continuous sheet to the second, and so on until the whole area is watered. The earth from the small ditches should be scattered below each, leaving no bank, and filling up any equalities that may exist in the surface. The main canal should be continued on the same grade or level as far as the water, in sufficient quantity, can be ap plied, or to the boundary of the farm. A similar system may be constructed and operated on the opposite side of the stream, (if the water be sufliciem) using the same dam. The method roughly outlined above, is compiled chiefly from an original prize “Essay on Irrigation” by that gifted writer and thinker, the lamented C. W. Howard. While we do not agree with him in the belief that a very large por tion of upper and middle Georgia is adapted—in its topography and natural water system —to hillside irrigation, yet there are many localities where the plan may be tried with a prospect of profit. It is well to remark that irriga tion is generally applied to pastures, meadows and rice in those countries where it prevails as a system. SMALL NOTES. Cotton Seed Oil. —Those who have never used this article as a substitute for the grease .of swine, have little idea what an improvement it makes in culi nary affairs. We do not mean, of course, the unclean and unsavory oil as it comes from the huge press at the oil mill, but the nice, pure, delicate article article which the refinery furnishes. Its superiority over lard in the matter of sweetness and cleanness, cannot be questioned. The refined oil is absolutely clean, and so pure is it that now, as we have heretofore stated, it is extensively sold and used as pure olive oil. It is quite the equal of that famoMs oil —no 'epicure, however delicate his Valate, b(i~ ing able to detect the difference. For frying fish, and indeed for fryings of all sort, it is unequaled. A gentle man of Florida, whose table is rarely without fish, long since substituted it for lard, and declares that it leaves the genuine flavor of the fish entirely un touched. A lady of this city, whose table is noted for its delicate dishes, says that for all frying purposes it leaves lard clear out of sight. What is more, the same oil that has already fried a fish, if set aside, may be again used for the same purpose. Os course, it would have the “smell” of fish and could not be used for anything else. A gentleman of Montgomery manged to smuggle a small quantity into his kitchen, and counselled his cook on the sly how to use it. When the biscuits and batter-cakes; which had never known the smell of hog’s grease, came to the table the next morning, they were discussed and decreed to be first-class by all the female members, before the “lord” dared to make known how it was that cotton seed oil and not lard had entered into their composition. It was hard to believe his revelations, but there was no going back on the joke, con firmed as it was by the cook. In fact, the testimony of all who have tried it, pronounce it equal to the very best article of lard. And it is said that our Hebrew friends use it now exten sively as a substitute for goose grease. And what is of particular interest, it is said that this pure, delicate vegetable extract costs only about half as much as the extract of pork.
