g^gricuttal gepartmetrt. Lire Fences. The great aversion wbich the negro o» have to splitting rails and the scarcity ot timbefiti many sections, will corape! om farmers to devote their attention to the subject of femes. Live fences or hedger a good many yearsago were tried in man t sections of our State, as may bo seen now by what remains Of the briars that have been left. We have many plants thai will do well in Georgia as hedge plants What is best or what is suited for different localities we are not prepared to say. The great difficulty we have seen in hedgo- not succeeding in our section has been lit want of attention. As a general rnl<- Georgia farmors are negligent, and whet they sot oat a tree or try anything new if it succeeds without attention it is well and good. We have seen in Texas a Cher okee or McCartney rose hedge around a whole farm through which or over which nothing could puss. Twico each year tlii- hedge was trimmed and uli bushes thin had come up among the brims was cm down to prevent the bushes from growing up wbmh would injure the hedge. Alter the war this was neglected, and in two yearnlho bu-hes had grown up, the bri ars had died out and there was many breaks in the hedge. The same facts ar known to us in regard to an Osage orang hedge, when, us long as it was attended n it did well and was a line fence, but in two years of neglect it hud grown out of shape and hud taken up so much ground a. i< bccomo unmanageable. From observation we aiyiioyvioce'l that with proper >tlen- tion Hve'fiSnccs can bo made to anccved in our section and in these u i\ s ?( piliurmg from our fields it would bo a great protec tion to our crops, and * hen limber is scarce would be economical. We have a native shrub or tree which in Englaud is used us a hedge plant, namely, the hawihornc The black locust might also bo used for the same purpose.. Added to these is tho McCartney roBO, Cherokeo rose, Pyracan- thus,'Prickly pear or Cactus. Mr. B. H. Wrigley’a Fairview Nursery, near Macon, has a beautiful hedge of the flowing bear wbictf no doubt will provo a valuable plant for at least inside hedges. L. Soot as a Manure. As a top-dressing for grain crops and grass, soot is a manure of great value. Its effects are generally limitod to one season, and it is more powerful iu a wet soason than a dry ono. The quantity nocessary to bo applied varies from thirty to forty bushels per aero, and it is generally spread by band. When well pulverised it can bo spread-by a machine. Mixed with salt, it has been found to produce astonishing results, when applied to carrots, turnips or potatoes. In Araesloy’s experiments, re corded in the journal of the Royal Agri cultural Society of England, it is shown that land manured with fifty-four bushels of soot, mixed with six bushels of salt, yielded twouty-two tons eight hundred weight of Allringham carrots per acre, while the same kind of soil, manured with twenty-four bushels of bone dust, yielded twenty-one tons one hundred weight; and with twenty-four tons of stable manure, twonty-eigbt tons eight hundred weight In anotber experiment made by Mr. Cart* wright, while land without any manure yielded 157 bushels of potatoes per acre, thirty bushels of soot increased the crop to 191 bushels, and thirty bushels of soot mixed with eight ot salt, produced 240 bushels. By as small a quantity as seven busbelsof Boot mixed with eight bushels of salt, very astonishing results have been produced, when the mixture was trenched in to land prepared tor carrots. As soot is derived from a combination of ditfereui substances, its composition is variable — Its valee however, may be ascertained from th.e fact that it contains ammonia, gypsum, phosphate of limo and potash. Lime ought never to bo mixed with soot, as it drives off me ammonia Tito proper time for applyiog soot as a top dressing is the early part ot spring Every farmet might add to his crops and prevent the rsik of destmotive flics by carefully collecting soot at least once a month from-his chim neys, stove-pipes smoke houses, etc., and hoardfng it up fur application to his crops in spring, mixingit with salt toincrease its fertilizing -power.— Western Rural Southern Agriculture. A most tuiriesting report is that of the Department of Agriculture ot tlieS'ate ot Georgia, tit is u comparative statement «>f the number ot acres plumed to different crops jp, T873 und 1874 From tins it appeas that the acreage of cotton has considerably decreased ; 1,860.559 acres were planted in 1873, and only 1,003 005 acres in 1874; a difference of 257,554 acres This is'procisely what the Agriculturist has long urged' upon Southern farmers, to reduce the cotton crop and give more attention to raising food and foddcrcrops It is a fact that of late years much cotton has been grown which bas not paid its cost, leading the planter in debt and under the necessity of buying his food. This is directly contrary to the usual course among good farmers, wbich is to raise all the supplies for the farm at home, to have nothing to buy, and raise a surplus to sell. Under this system there may bo less money passing through tbe farmer’s bands, and fewer accounts to keep and settle, and a less ahow ot business; but more of tho money which ootnes into the farmer’s hands remains there. It is gratifying to learn that in Georgia this system bas been inaugurated, and tbo increase * in tbe acreage of corn in 1874 is equal to tho decrease in that of cotton. Besides this there is an increase of over 58,000 acres in wheat; .over 89,000 in oats, and moro than 10,000 in sweet potatoes There is also a large increase in stock of all kinds. But one thing is yet needful. There is no re port of ithp acreage of grass and clover. Without those crops agriculture bas no eat isfactory basis. No complete system of borne eapply can exist without these.— There can be no dairy; cheese and batter must be brought from elsewhere, and beef and mdtton purchased. Clover and or chard grass, tbe beet of tbe standard forage crops for tho South, will thrive oxoelledtly in Georgia, while lucerne or alfalfa wiU produce abundantly, and in tbe mountain* ttmotby will yield abundantly. The cultivation ot these crops should bo •noouraged, It ia to tbo credit of|Georgia that tbe r'eforra here noticed has been noticed and oonsumated. Tbe resolution introduced a year ago at Maoon bas thus borne fruit. It is to be hoped that this judicious policy will be perseverd in and that fodder crops and stock breeding be added to tbe list of new iiidoe’-’-B- An increase of manufacturing can not occur until food is plentiful andclieap.and udonae agricultural popnfation is available for holp. Capitalists are tempted to invest where a supply of labor is certain and steady. It is this diversified industry that makes a locality wealthy, and each industry hlllps the other Where thereare many artisans, tbere are good markets for farm produce, and farmer* thrive best where there are mills and factories. We commend this asooessfal effort of the Georgia planters to those in others of the Southern States —American Agriculturist ATHENS lii WALTON COUNTY. OAtbe&S) €?a.O GENERAL POUNDERS AND MACHINISTS.
