THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
Closes December 31 .
THE CONVICT SYSTEM.
The coming session of the legis
lature will have to settle the con
vict question in some way or other,
as the present lease contract will
expire before another legislature is
elected. ,
The farming out of the state con
victs to private companies, for pri
enti- - f -
vate gain, S . ’ , has caused , more
cism in Caoigh., oinet
public question that has arisen in
our state since the day the lease
contract was made.
The STAR is opposed to the lease
system, except for the long term
and most vicious criminals, who
should remain in the coal mines ,
as they can be kept more securely
there than anywhere else.
All others should be put to work
on the public roads of the state,
where the public will have the ben¬
efit of their labor.
Each county should then be re
quired to establish a legal chain
gang, and the state convicts par¬
celled out equitably or proportion¬
ately between them. To these,
each county could add its misde
nieanor convicts, who are tried
and convicted by their respective
county courts.
In this way the work of irnprov
ing the public roads, leading out
from every court house in the
state, would tie commenced at the
same time, and every county in
the state would . , thus , be benefited , c .. j
by the convict labor.
A road commission for the state
should be established, plans and
specifications for work In tr the nub¬
ile roads should be drawn by the
commission of experts, and the
work of building public roads
should tie carried on uniformly
throughout the state.
All public roads should be sur¬
veyed, by competent engineers, ac¬
cording to the plans and specifica¬
tions adopted by the commission
of experts, aud when the work of
building the roads was finished,
Georgia would have the finest sys¬
tem of public roads in the world.
Of course, the convicts should
l>e under the control of the state
at all times, and each county should
lie required to maintain its * ‘squad, > i
while they are employed upon its
public works.
We trust there is wisdom and
patriotism enough in the legisla¬
ture to perfect and adopt a system
for working the convicts upon the
public works of the state, so that
the whole people may tie benefit
ted by their labor.
We hope to see our “views”
meet the approval of the legisla¬
tors, and materialize into a great
system of good public roads in
Georgia.
Col. Dick Grnfib wants the leg¬
islature to make dogs property.
That’s right. We second the mo¬
tion, and call the previous ques¬
tion. What is your old hound
worth ?
Now, that the smoke of the con¬
gressional battle in the tenth dis
trict has fairly cleared away, we
desire to remark that the Augusta
Chronicle was one of the grua-esi erca , esl
factors that entered into the work
for the success of the democratic
party in the election of Major
Black. The work of the Chronicle
was continuous and persistent for
the election of the democratic can
didate, and while it wears its hou
ors with unaffected modesty and
dignity, yet it is entitled to great
credit for the efficiency and good
effect of its valuable campaign
work, and deserves a proper lecog
nition ironi the tenth district deni
ocraey. In behalf oi the whole

would strongly advise against tne prao

material almost as valuable, while

fat, more than counterbalances
ie y a i tte of the orop taken off. The
experience is pertinent:
"A neighbor who is a very observing
gardener gives the result of his obser¬
vations and experience on this -nbjeot.
On a small piece of flatwoods whioh he
wished to prepare for strawberry plants,
one summer, he plowed down a rank
crop of oowpea* when they were full of
suooulence, aud for two years after¬
ward the soil was so "sad,” heavy and
lifeless that he could got nothing to
grow well on it. So much iermeuting
vegetation in the soil soured and injur
ed its texture very mnoh. On the oth
« band, he had a crop of oowpeas in a
young pear orchard, whioh, through
^ ^ of Qthur work h# u6 , leotod
to plow under uutil they beoarue so
heavy that they "lodged,’’and he then
abandoned the intention and left them

low and a* light a* an ash heap tt
Question 2 . — What is the best time
to sow Hungarian Brume gras*, on
wuat kind oi laud, ami wuen should it
be cu ? Is t a good winter grass?
Answer a.—It may be sown either
in the fall or early epring aud should
be cm just a* it begins to oioom. Like
all other crops the better the condition
of the soil the better the yield. Ou
poor soiis it grows about a foot to a foot
an i a half high, in more favorable lo
cations and when properly managed it
frequently attains a height of from
three to lour feet Its underground
roots grow most rapidly in lignt sandy
loams, but they also penetrate the stif
feet clay aud form a good sod. At the
south it is esteemed more for grazing
tliau cutting It stands even protract
ed drouth remarkably well, and does
not seem to be affected by sudden or
extreme ohauges of temperature. If
the land is prepared the same as for
other grasses aud other conditions are
favorable it has been found to suoceed
where the finer grasses have failed. In
our section it remains green tnrough
the winter and seems co be gaming la
▼or for winter pasturage The seed
should be sown uum nd with other va¬
rieties as its habit is snoh as to choke
out other vegetation, On this account
care should be exercis‘d in selec.ing a
locariou for its growth, Ou fluids
where rotation of crops is practiced its
introduction is not desirable as the sod
18 tough and dense and might prove
very troublesome
Questions—W of high grade ould yon -tlzor udvig< the
buving a f at a
high price, or one of low r grade at less
COst?
Answer 3 . —All things considered,
the high grade fertilizer is cheaper for
the farm >r. The per cent of plant, food
in a h gh grade of ferti.iz-r being
larger th in in the low grade, the pro
portionable freight is therefore less,
Also the n rrogen in the a, * h r‘ de

I know the value ot oottouseed

from their merit*, 1 would urge
upon farmer* and other* who keep
milch oow* the importance of erecting
and as ng silo*. Many are deterred
trom doing thU by iguorauoe. both of
the oost of building and of the expense
of filling a silo, and or the benefit of
these an 1 others, I herewith append a
few items of information on the sub
Jeot, whioh l trust will result in the
building of numerous silo* in the state.
Tms information is taken chiefly from
a r „ port co ;he department of agrioui
ture at ur Wasuingiou.
location of silo.
Should be built in reierenoe to con
venit-nce of feeding the stock, couse
qaeutly it shonid be very near, or in or
connected to the stable*,
FORM OF SILO.
Immaterial a* regards the keeping of
the contents, but it is cheaper and
easier to band in shape of a parallelo
gram, with the sides longer than the
ends.
WALLS OF 81LO.
If above ground, two thicknesses of
inch boards with shearing paper be¬
tween (which some think unnecessary)
will be suffi. lent if supported against
latceral pressure by the ensilage.
CAPACITY OK 8ILO.
If entirely filled witn oompressed en
silage, the silo will contain 60 pounds
to the cubio foot.
oovmt
A layer of straw or hay on the top of
.u i aud , then P lattks ou t0 P ot
that, weigated down by any heavy ma
ter ml, such as stones, earth, etc. A
little spaoe should be allowed between
the walls and oover, that the cover may
uot catoh ou 01 a * ainit tha wail.as the
ensilage settles.
Tile 0 )9t of gilog varies from |4 to |5
for W ai 8 of heavy mamnry, to W cents
or less for simple wooden silos per ton
of cap icity.
CROPS FOB ENSILAGE.
Corn takes the lead of ensilage crops,
and when mixed with field pea* make*
a very flue feed. Corn planted for en
silage will produoe from 16 to SO tons
to the acre (68 tons has been made), aud
ik at its best for eusilage when it has
attained its full growth and before
ripening begins.
PREPARING CORN, PEAS, ETC., FOB THE
SILO.
This should be done by a cutter,
driven by horse powbr or steam, with
carrier* to take the eusilage from the
entter to the r op of the silo The corn,
pea vines, etc., should be out flue, in
pieces not over an inch in length; it
packs closer aud or this reason is apt
to keep better than coarse ensilage. j
FILLING ’I HE SILO.
During the process of filling, the en- !
silage should be kept level aud well
trodden. Some attach much import¬
auce to rapid filling, white others make
^ more a matter of convenienoe. With
t jj e packing equally thorough, rapid
filling is probab y lea*.
This should uot exceed $1 per ton for
labor, including the entire cost of the
crop
WHKN SILO SHOULD BE OPENED.
The eusilage should remain under
pressure at least until cool, and not be
uncoverei after that until wanted,
The loss by decay will be very slight,
aud confined to the top aud sides,where
,
there was more or less exposure to the
air.
vai.uk of ensilage for milch cows
j As a rule, ensilage is fed only to
milou cows, aud it is in connection
with them that its greatest value will
be found Many feeders consider it
equal in value to one-half of its weight
of good hay.
KFFiSCTS ON DAIRY PRODUCTS
There is a marked increase in quan¬
tity aud improvement in the quality of
milk and butter, a ter changing from
dry feed to enaiiage, corresponding
with the effects of a similar change to
fresh pasture.
VALUE TO OTHER STOCK.
EtiAil&xtt has also been fed with good
results to swine, sheep and ponltry.
DAILY RATION OF E SILAGE.
Cows giving milk are commonly fed.
frem 40 to 50 pounds of ensilage a day,
with a little dry hay or fodder aud
grain E ullage do ‘8 not take the plaoe
of grain, 1 ut is a snlisti ute for hay or
fodder. Stock fed ou ensilage uniform¬
ly gain in healtn aud weight, and there
is no doubt as to its profitableness.

its coo dug qualities do not seem to
have been thoroughly tested, as the va
riety is somewhat new as yet to the av

be largely grown here, as it is not found
in quantities in the market this year,
but usually a special dainty on the
fruit stands .demanding a rather liign
price. It will probab y be m >re pl mti
