DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 27, 1875.
(iinilif th< ViMi
from th. Early County N«w«.]
Clit C*ontt, Qi., Jan C, 1875.
Mb. Editor -1 have Keen several *rti-
ales on the burning of woods—noma on-
Hemning and other* approving. Home say
that no man will pot Ur* in the woods ex-
* , those who have but little land. That
is all * mistake; it is not so, for some have
lto head of cattle and 2000 aeree of land.
So it i» our interest to take care of our
land as well as do the best we can for our
*'The time to bnrn, is from the drat of
January to the 10th of February, after a
wet a pel', so that the earth and decayed
vegetable matter are wet. After a few hours'
B an on the straw and dead grass, pat lire
to it and it will burn off the straw and dr;
grass and not injnre the land. But it is
apt to be pnt off and negleoted until too
late, patting it off to some other time, or
wishing that some one else may do It—
Sre gets ont some how and does a great
deal of harm, as whs the case in the up
per part of Early last year. If the burn
ing of the woods had been attended to at
the proper time, that damage would have
bean avoided.
For wirs grass, the burning should take
plaoe every year; for the wild oat raoge,
every other year, or part one year and a
part the next. Broom sedge should be
burnt over every year, and while the rot
ting rails are wet burn through your fenoe,
and thus seoore it for that year. Burning
the woods destroys tioks and other in
sects that injure stock. It also kills snakes,
for I once found a large rattle snake that
had been killed by the fire in burning
broom sedge.
I am somewhat acquainted in the lower
part of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida
and Alabama, and will say, that if every
man would have stock to raise from, he
oan raise his hogs, cows, goats, sheep and
horses cheaper than they can be raised in
Tennessee; indeed, if they had the stock,
nearly enough might be raised to supply
the States with stock, meat and leather.
There is a great deal of land in these
States not suitable for cultivation, and if
we don’t have stook it is of but little val
ue. I have over fifty year's experience in
stock raising, and am fully satisfied of
what a man oan do if be will attend to it
himself and not leave it for another. If
man owning slook dont attend to the burn
ing of the woods at the right time, fire
will get out in a dry time of the year
and do great damage to the range, Stock
raising is of great importance and there
should lie more attention paid to the
keeping of the range in good condition by
burning the woods at the right time.
Let stock and grain raising be more at-
ended to and ootton and credit less attend
ed to, and we will soon be in a prosperous
condition. I am a well wisher to stock
raising and the good of the country gen
erally. Stephxn Bloc sub.
Corn Fodder and Horses.
In the southern part of this State we
raise no hay worth speaking of, conse
quently we feed our horses altogether on
what we call fodder (ihe top and leaf of
oorn stalk, ) which appears to agree satis
factorily with horses for general purposes.
Mow, we are organizing an agricultural
society, aud I have some valuable horses
to be trained for trotting purposes, and I
have employed a trainer from the North,
who objects to use Ibis fodder- I can ob
tain a good hay from Baltimore or Pliil-
delphia that he thinks will oost but little
more than our fodder. Please advise me
which you think the proper course to pur
sue. W. 8. H. Laurel, Del. Answer.—
There is good reason to believe that
horses can be kept in good condition on
corn fodder. The proximate analysis of
properly harvested oorn tope shows that
they contain a mnoh larger percentage of
nntritive matter than the best quality of
bay. The following analysis shows the
average composition of good meadow hay
and corresponding coin tops: 100 parts
of hay oontain—albumen, 8 ; starch and
sugar, 35; water, 10; woody fibre, 33 ;
ashes, 8 per cent. 100 parts of corn tops
oontain—albumen, |11, starch and sugar
50 ; water, 17; woody fibre, 14 ; ashes, 8
per oent. The substance which consti
tute the food of animals are usually di
vided into two classes—the albuminous
and the saooharine, or fat-forming mate
rial. The former serves for the nutrition
of the muscular tissues of the body, the
latter being used in the maintenance of
heat, or, more correotly speaking, the oa-
pillery oiroulation of the blood. We are
inclined to think that carefully harvested
corn fodder oan be fed to horses in train
ing with highly satisfactory results. Try
it. —Spirit of the Timet.
President Johnson’s Wit.
The following is from the Natchez
Democrat, of February 8, 1866. Can it
be that the Ham Tilden referred to is His
Exoellenoy, the present Governor of New
York?
A good story is told of President John
son and a tonguey politician, named Ham
Tilden, who called upon him recently:
Everybody who. knows Sam Tilden,
knows that he is an intolerable bore.
President Johnson knew him years ago.
He, therefore, was disposed to indulge
him and let him run loose. Tilden com
menced by oomplimenting the President
upon returning to old Democratic doc
trines in his reconstruction policy, and
bringing the party to the Jeffersonian
landmarks. He branohed off, elaborating
on his subjoat, aud illustratiug it as only
Ham Tilden oan. He reminded the Presi
dent that this was a compensating world,
aud illustrated this point by calling atten
tion to the fact that while the peacock
had a magnificent rainbow tail, the bird
was good for nothing to eat; that the
elephant was a colossal animal, but lacked
the speed of the horse. The President,
all the time sat, biting his lips, wonder
ing what the devil Tilden was driving at.
Tilden continued: “There, too, Mr.
President, is the poor, stupid oyster;
what a sweet morsel to roll under your
tongue, but what a repulsive objeot to
look at.” The President here interfered,
and taking the spectacles off his nose,
quaintly observed that “there was one
thing to be said in favor of the oyster,
and that was, it knew when to shut up."
