agricultural. ■ H COTTON SEED FOR H 0O J . ■ Robert Neilson, Esq., of Montgom-H cry, Ala., makes the following sugges-* tions through the Southern Cultivator:* The saving of corn is desirable at* any time, but especially so this season,* when the supply is but scanty in the* South. It may, therefore, seem proper * nt present to substitute cotton seed as* food for hogs. Almost every planter* lias learned the fatal results of feeding* cotton seed in its raw state to hogs. In your September number, cotton seed is recommended for this purpose when cooked. I think this is only one half of the recipe, and having had some experience in this branch ot husbandry, I will here state the way in which I am using it daily for about two hundred hogs: I have two large cauldrons, one holding ninety gallons and the other fifty five gallons, arched in as for a distillery. They are filled with dry Cotton seed pressed in hard; after which water is poured on till it raises the seed above the rim. of the kettle, which is then covered with some planks and a piece of bagging or old carpet, to prevent the steam escaping too much. It requires boiling, or, more correctly, steaming for two or three hours, or until the seed at the top of the kettle is so well done that it can be mashed between the fingers. The next process is the fermenta tion of the seed, which I consider of the utmost importance. I have, large tubs, that will hold about sixty gallons each. About two or three bushels of steamed seed is placed in each tub, and filled up with cold water. In about twenty-four hours it has under gone a strong fermentation, and is then in a fit condition to be fed to the hogs; but as I have several tubs, some (and I do not feed but two tubs a day) of this cotton seed beer , as it actually is, will often turn a little sour ; the hogs will like it so much better. Once a week, I give a few handfuls of salt or ashes on this food. It does not, however, seem to agree with young pigs, and it is therefore not fed to pigging sows until their pigs are a couple ot weeks old, or still better, until they are weaned. I learned this method from Rev. Samuel Johnston, of this place, who used it for nine years, and always had a beautiful lot of hogs, that never got any corn, except what they could glean on the corn fields, after the crop was gathered. His year old hogs, fed on cotton seed, usually weighed ISO to 200 pounds. I have fed a large lot of hogs on this plan for the last year, with so much success that I shall never give it up, as long as I am raising hogs. Iced Grapes. —Take large, close bunches of fine, ripe, thin-skinned grapes, and remove any that are im perfect. Tie a string in a loop to the top of the stem. Strain into a deep] dish a sufficient quantity of white of] egg. Dip the bunches of grapes into it, immersing them thoroughly. Then drain them, and roll them about in a flat dish of finely-powdered loaf sugar till they are completely coated with it, using your fingers to spread the sugar into the hollows between the grapes. Hang up the bunches by the strings, till the icing is entirely dry. They should be dried in a warm place. Send them to the supper-table at a party, on glass dishes. Ripe currants may' be iced as above. Raspberries, strawberries, ripe' gooseberries, plums and cherries may be thus dipped in white of egg, and rolled in sugar.— Ruralist. How the Tree makes its Wood. —lt sends it down the stalk Each leaf adds to the thickness of the shoot to the branch, each branch to the stem, and that with so perfect tyi order and regularity of duty, that from every leaf in all the countless crowd at the tree’s summit, one slender fibre, or at least fibre’s thickness of wood, de scends through spray, through branch, I and through stem; and having thus added in its due proportion to form the strength of the tree, labors yeti farther and more painfully to provide! for its security, and thrusting forward] into the root, loses nothing of its mighty] energy until, mining through the dark-1 ness, it ha 9 taken hold in the cleft ofl rock or depth of earth, as extended nsl the sweep of its green crest in the Creel air. | Harrowing Moss or Grass-land WITHOUT BREAKING IT UP.— Harrow and cross-harrow the land with a short but sharp-tined heavy harrow, so as to tear out the moss, which should then be gathered and burned, or carried off ; for if left on the land, it will take root and grow again ; then top-dress with rich compost, spread evenly; bush harrow and roll. Soot is an excellent application in such cases, and may be applied at the rate of 80 to 320 bush els per Irish acre. It would be a favorable time to introduce new and good grasses, which should be bush harrowed and rolled. Long Lactation in Aged Cows.- There is at present, on the farm at Mosside, Clatt, Aberdeenshire, in the I possession of Mr. Win. Middleton, a I cow, in her 24th year, which'has had I nineteen calves, the last of them being I calved in June, 1857. The extraor-| dinary part of the story is that the I cow has given milk every day since I the birth of her last calf, in 1857, and I shows no falling off. Her average I Quantity is from five to six pints a I day-—* London Veterinarian. J THE GEORGIA WEEKLY . NEW BOOK-& JOB’ PRINTING OFFICE.
