Lucerne— Its Value and Culture.
At no former period in the indus
trial history of the South has the sub
ject of grasses, grains and forage crops
so exercised the public mind as at
the present time. Never before has
our people become so thoroughly a-
roused to the fact that some very de
cided change in our system of farm
economy is absolutely necessary to
the future material prosperity of the
South, or so unanimous in their ver
diet of what this change must be. Ex
cept in the very richest of our allu
vial soils and river bottoms, the old
plantation programme has been found
wholly impracticable or ruinous in
consequence of the scarcity and utter
demoralization of the labor element.
The poorer upland portions of the
South are therefore necessarily aban
doned to broomsedge and old-field
pines, or to that unprofitable slip-shod
culture of discouraged proprietors and
small annual renters, which is dotting
our beautiful sunny South all over
with evidences of departed glory and
national decay! The old lines of ag
riculture are no longer capable of de
fence; new ones must be formed, and
the only question now is, in what di
rection and upon what principles shall
they be constructed? Nine out of
every ten of our most intelligent aDd
successful soil-cultivators stoutly aver
that the only hope of the South lies in
the prompt and vigorous develop
ment of all our varied agricultural re
sources, and, to this end, the speedy
and general adoption of a diversified
system of farm economy. Those who
have formed their plans and based
their efforts upon these revised and
remodeled views are already reaping a
golden reward for their foresight iD
adopting, at the earliest practicable
moment, the plans and principles of
the new departure, while, in unenvia
ble contrast, those who still cling to
the stranded wrecks and carbuncled
hulks of the past are fast being
swamped beneath the turbid waters of
an obsolete old-fogyism, or borne
down before the waves of a mighty
and more enlightened progression.
In the very vanguard of this incom
ing era of improvement and reform,
nothing presents itself with a bolder
mien or more of the attributes of a
conqueror than the culture of the
grains and grasses—it is indeed the
Achilles of the future that is destined
to bind the vanquished Hector of the
past to its triumphant chariot wheel!
Until very recently, the culture of
the grasses in the South has beeD
sadly neglected. Like many other in
dustries, the subject has been, by the
ignorant or stubborn, prejudged and
disposed of, a3 one wholly unworthy
tije attention of the Southern agricul
turist. With a few honorable but
very scattering exceptions, nothing
in the way of systematic grass culture
was attempted by our people before
the war—King Cotton reigning with a
despoetic sway that would have put
even the Czar of all theRussias to the
blush. Recently a slight change is
gradually passing o’er the spirit of our
dream, and we are 6lowiy awakening
to a wiser policy in the management
of our industrial resources.
But we sat down simply to write a
paragraph or two as an-introduction
to the following excellent article upon
the Lucerne, from the pen of that
thoroughly posted grass-man, C. W.
Howard, and to give its directions aud
conclusions our unqualified endorse
ment. We copy from the Selma
Argus, where we find the article with
out credit:
As a forage plant at the South,
Lucerne is very far superior to all
others. It is used for three purposes.
First, for feeding grten or soiling, used
in this way, it is best to cut the Lu
cerne a day in advance, so as to feed
it in a wilted state. It must never be
;pastured. Live stock pasturing it,
bite out the crown of the plants and
kill them. When fed green it may be
given to horses, cattle and hogs.
Horses fed upon it, when not at work,
need no grain—when at work one
good feed of grain a day is sufficient.
Hogs will keep in good order on
green Lucerne cut and thrown to
them.
Lucerne hay is extremely nutritious
and is relished by horses, cattle, and
sheep. So far as the observation of
the writer extends, it is preferred by
the domestic animals to any other kind
of hay.
The product of Lucerne is enor
mous. Five tons of excellent hay may
be cut from one acre of grouud plant
ed in Lucerne. It is estimated that
fodder, green and dry, may be obtain
ed from an acre of Lucerne for the
support of fire horsesduring the entire
year—this includes the great bulk of
green food during the spring, sum
mer, and autumn.
In this latitude Lucerne is not green
during the months of December, Jan
uary, and part of February. In the
low country it would probably be
green all the year. In this section it
commences its growth during the lat
ter part of February, and gives its
first cutting early in April, even be
fore the wild grass begins to spring.
It is ready to cut fully a month in
advance of red clover. The rapidity
ol its growth is excelled only by as
paragus.
The root is perennial, lasting ten or
fifteen, or perhaps more years. These
roots become as large as small-sized
carrots. Five acres of Lucerne on
this farm were destroyed during the
war by being grazed by Sherman’s
horses and cattle. After that the
ground was left riddled with holes,
giving it the appearance of a locust
year. The succeeding crop of corn
was very heavy. This mi^ht have
been expected in view of the fact stat
ed by Ville, that Lucerne absorbs
more ammonia from the atmosphere
than any other plant whatsover. This
is a point, however, of little practical
utility, as no one having a field ofLu-
cerne would plow it up for any other
crop. Great care must be taken to
save Lucerne hay. If it ig too much
exposed to a hot sun, the leaves crum
ble and fall off. The prevention is to
|>ut the Lucerne out ii*Jbe morning
into small cocks in the afternoon, open
them for a little while the next morn
ing after the dew is off, aud haul im
mediately to the barn. These cocks
should be not more than six feet tall,
and as small round as can be made to
stand. The hay is cured as it were in
the shade, the wind or air passing
through the cocks.
Whenever Lucerne turns yellow it
should be mowed, no matter if it has
not attained its full height. The yel
low color i3 an evidence of disease, or
the ravages of some small insect. Lu
cerne should be cut as soon as it is in
blossom, after this the stems become
hard and woody. It does not reach
perfection until the third year. The
yield is, however, heavy the first
year as compared with other forage
plants.
Notwithstanding all precaution,
some weeds and crab-grass will appear
the first year. These must be repeat
edly mowed, so as to prevent their
going to seed. If they are annuals
they will give you no trouble after the
first year.
The ground designed for Lucerne
should be made as clean as possible.
In its first year it is delicate, and in
very rich ground is liable to be smoth
ered by weeds, and especially crab-
grass. All perennial weeds, as dock,
plantain, thorn-apple—or in the ver
nacular, “Tread soft”—should be
carefully exterminated. Either Ber
muda or Blue grass, or in fact any
stoloniferous perennial grass would be
very hurtful to it. In view of this
necessity, a cleanmg crop should pre
cede it, as cotton or turnips, fed on
the ground by sheep.
As the taproots of Lucerne pene
trate to a great depth, the soil should
be plowed to a great depth. A heavy
two-horse plow should be followed by
a two-horse subsoil plow. It would
be well to cross-plow the same way
The surface should then be repeatedly
harrowed until it is perfectly free
from lumps.
Lucerne seems to be indifferent to
the texture of the soil, provided it be
dry and sufficiently rich. The writer
has seen it growing with luxuriance
on the sands of the seaboard, and the
clay of the blue limestone country.
But two things are required, the soil
must be dry and rich.
Too much pains cannot be taken
with ground to be sown in Lucerne, as
to cleanness, fertility, depth of plow
ing. It would be best for any one who
does not design to take these pains,
to let it alone. On land of ordinary
fertility and cleanness, Lucerne would
be very profitless.
If barn-yard manure be used, it
should be perfectly rotted so as to con
tain no seeds or weeds. If it be not
rotted, it is best to use one of the
commercial manures. One should be
selected which contains a small a-
mount of ammonia, and a large per
centage of phosphate and potash.
One thousand pounds of this manure
t® the acre would not be at all too
much. This should be thoroughly
harrowed in before the seed is sown.
A top dressing should be given every
third year.
Whether the seed should be sown
broadcast or in drill, depends on the
condition of the ground as to cleanness.
If the ground be perfectly clean,
broadcast sowing is the cheapest aud
best. If the ground in two or three
years becomes hard on the surface, it
can be harrowed when the top dressing
is applied.
If the ground be foul the seed should
be sown in drills, about twelve inches
apart. A coulter or verry narrow
scooter-plow can be run between
the rows as often a may seem necessa-
r 7-
About ten pounds of seed should be
sown to the acre. This seed now sells
in New York at fifty cents per pound,
making the cost of seed for an acre
five dollars. In large quantity it can
probably be bought at a cheaper rate.
When sowed, the seed should be
brushed in, or rolled. The covering
should be very light, in fact if the
seed be sowed before a rain, or during
a drizzle, no covering is necessary.
Here it may be proper to remark
in connection with the sowing of all
small seeds, whether of forage plants
or grasses, that if they are covered an
inch deep, vegetation is doubtful, and
if a clod is turned over upon them
they will not vegetate at all. The
seedsman is often blamed when the
fault is in the deep covering by the
farmer.
It may be said that the process of
preparation of land for Lucerne is
very expensive, That is true. But
let us compare this expense and the
results. Suppose an acre of land to
be worth ten dollars, and the cost of
plowing, harrowing, manure and seed
be forty dollars, in all fifty dollars.
Five tons of Lucerne hay, if it be sold
at twenty dollars per ton, is one hun
dred dollars, a very good interest on
fifty dollars. In most localities, where
there is a market for hay, Lucerne
would command upward of thirty dol
lars per ton. It should also be remem
bered that the results of the expendi
ture last fora term of years, and not
for one year, as in the case of corn or
cotton or grain crops.
Great efforts have been made to in
troduce Lucerne into England. Large
premiums for a number of years have
been offered by the Royal Agricultural
Society. But the soil, or climate, or
both, are unsuited to it.
Efforts have been made to introduce
it in the Northern States of this coun
try, but also without success. The
winters are too severe.
Lucerne is a child of the sun. It is
a plant of a warm climate. Its long
taproot renders it comparatively in
sensible to drought. It grows as well
at the South as it does in France or
Italy. Yet it may be doubted if there
are ten acres of Lucerne on any one
farm at the South. While we have a
plant which yields hay of a better
quality and double in quantity, as
compared with any grass grown at
the North, our railroads are groaning
under the weight of Northern bay.
In our present condition it can hard
ly be expected that farmers will lay
down much land in Lucerne, on ac
count of its expense, unless it be
where there is a ready market for hay.
But every turner should have an acre
or fnore of Lucerne near his stable, ac
cording to the number of his horses.
In no other way can he provide for
them a fodder so cheap and nutritious.
The practice is growing atnpng per
sons living in our villages, to have a
clover lot to provide bay, or cut green
food for their cows and horses. Such
persons will find Lucerne to be much
more valuable than clover; both as to
quantity aud quality of the food pro-
iduced.

Having been bnrued out and sustaining some losses
by the late fire, and change in our place of business, it
will require some tuno to collect the amount of our
