FARM AS)!) iiOtISEHOLD,
Jute Vs ( ' ter pillar.
Editor Eagle: 1 ay address before
the agricultural convention at Haw
kinsville.on the 18th u1t.,1 mentioned
the alleged protection against the
caterpillar and all noxious insects,
afforded by the Jute plant to cotton,
and promised to obtain and publish,
for the benefit of the agriculturists
of Georgia, any further information
on the subject which I might obtain.
I have just received a letter lrora
Mr. E, Lefranc, of New Orleans, in
whieh he saye that “the protection
Indian Jute affords against the cater
pillar is a fact which I ascertained on
a small but positive scale in Louisi
ana. The odor emanating from the
jute in bloom stupifies insects and
drives them away." Dr. Landry, of
New Orleans, says he has observed
the influence of the jute-growth on
insects. He writes: “I have seen,
on the first of October, a cotton field
in full foliage, flowers and bolls, with.
out a single insect bite. That cotton
was surrounded by a jnte-growth.
All the cotton fields, far and around,
were more or less devastated by
worms.”
Jute, sown from the 15th to the
30th of April, will bloom about the
time to afford the best protection
against the caterpillar. The seed
should be sown broadcast—about 15
pounds to the, acre—on land thor
oughly plowed and pulverized. Seed
may be obtained by early application
to James S. Murdock, Esq., secretary
of the Agricultural Society of South
Carolina, in Charleston, who has im
ported a limited supply from India,
and will distribute it at the cost of
importation, which should not exceed
thirty cents per pound.
I hope thi\t planters in different
sections of the State will, as far as
possible, test the accuracy or tha re
verse of this imputed virtue of the
jute plant. If it be true, the discov
ery is certainly of incalculable benefit
to the cotton States.

Sweet Potato Culture.
The time for bedding potatoes to
get the plants has nearly arrived—in
deed, some persons bed early in
March to get the crop in early, cov
ering securely when there is danger
of frost. As most persons know how
to prepare the plant beds, we will
confine oar remarks to the after cul
ture.
The ground for sweet potatoes, if
at all stiff, should be broken deeply
with a long scooter, two or three
times before planting. When ths
plants are large enough lay off the
rows three or four feet apart, and
open a wide and deep furrow with a
long shovel or double mold board
plow. Scatter well rotted stable
manure plentifully in this farrow,
and run through it with a scooter to
l Utm *£av uttauuiv rrHiU tSo BUI*. iQtJli
run around with the scooter, deep,
and throw up a broad, flat ridge or
bed for the reception of the draws.
This should be done before a rain,
so that as soon ae a proper time
comes the plants may be set out at
onoe. If rain should not come at
the proper time, do not wait too
long. Wet the plant bed and draw
the plants carefully; make holes with
a sharp-pointed stick, pour half a
pint of water around each plant and
draw the earth carefully to it. Or
make a thick batter of black woods
earth, a little clay and fresh cow
manure, and dip the roots in this
mixture just before planting. If this
is done after four o'clock in tbs after
noon, the plants will grow off well,
even in dry weather. Wnen they
are well rooted, ruu around the ridge
or bed with a long scooter, breaking
out the middles very deep, and leav
ing the ridges broad, flat and deep
nut high, narrow and shallow. The
after culture may be done with the
scooter, shovel or winged sweep—
anything that will beep the grass
and woods down and the ground
open and mellow. Follow these di
rections and you will make a good
crop.
Eat More Milk.
We desire particularly to recom
mend to farmers the use of more milk
and eggs in their families. There is
no food so economical, and at the
same time so healthful and nutritions
as milk. It is both meat and drink
It contains every element essential
for the development of the animal
system. The proportions of these
elements also are just right. There
is nitrogen to form muscles, oil for
lubrication and generating heat, and
saline matter for forming bones.
Fortunate are tbose children that are
brought up on a milk diet. They
are unoonscious of naving stomachs,
their muscles are well developed,
their skins are smooth, and their
cheeks rosy. It is a great mistake to
suppose that a milk diet is suitable
only for children. Milk is just as
well adapted for men as boys. One
of the best developed men, both pby
sioally and mentally, that Massachu
setts ever produced—Dr. Griffin, at
one time pastor of Park St. church,
Boston, and afterwards president of
Williams college—loved milk when
a boy, and contiuued to love it all
through life, preferring a breakfast
of bread and milk to anything else.
Few men ever filled Park Street
pulpit with a larger physique or nine
mental power. Milk is emphatically
man'B food. In every thirty gallons
of it there is a pound of phosphate of
lime. Why it is not more used in
farmers’ families we do not know,
unless because it is so cheap and
abundant. Home mercies are wont
to be lightly appreciated.—Massachu
setts Plowman.
We give the following recipe to
induee sleep for what it is worth:
When ready for bed sit down in an
easy position, relaxing ail the muscles
of the body, and let the bead drop
forward on the breast, as low as it
will fall without forcing it. Sit
quietly in this way for a few minutes,
and a drowsy feeling will ensue which
will, if not disturbed, lead to refresh
ing sleep. If the sleepless fit comes
on at night, pit up iu the position
described.
flsw to Render Bones Soluble.
Any suggestions which enable tl e
farmer to manufacture at home as
good or better fertilizers than can te
purchased for double the expense ai
tending these domesiic preparation?,
are always welcome. A. R. Ledoux,
chemist for rhe North Carolina de
partment of agriculture, give instruc
tions about rendering bones soluble
at little troable and cost to the oper
ator. He advises, if no mill is conve
nient, to break the bones by hand
into as small pieces as possible,which
may be dc ne with a heavy hammer
and a little patience. When ootton
or other nitrogenous organic com
pound is obtainable, it will pay to
burn the bones if it is found difficult
to break them, and then there will be
but little difficulty in getting them
into good subdivisions. Bones are
rendered solnble with great ears by
treating them with oil of vitriol, and
where this acid can be obtained
cheaply it will pay in almost every
instance to employ it. The bones
should first be broken np into the
size of walnuts, and weighed out into
lots cf abcut one hundred pounds
each. A large tub can be used for
the operation, which is conveniently
made by sawing a petrolenm barrel
in half. Let the manipulator jTput on
old clothes, which will be of no great
loss should the corrosive acid spatter
on them. Hare at hand a solution
of washing soda or weak ly, to put
upon the hands or faca r; an antidote
should a drop of acid touch them.
Place a layer of bones eight or ten
inches deep in the bottom of the tub.
pour the oil of vitriol from the carboy
slowly and steadily into a pitcher or
other article of stoneware, which had
jj-eviouely been weighed, until full.
Wet the layer of bones in the tob
thoroughly with water, then pour the
acid oautiously upon them from the
pitcher to the amonnt of abont fifty
or fifty-five pounds of acid to one
hundred pounds of bones, stirring
and mixing the whole mass with a
wooden shovel or an old hoe. Then
t>ut in another layer of bones on top
of the first and repeat the process un
til the tnb ii full. After standing
from throe to twelve (jhoure, shovel
the whole out into a heap and mix
with it, if obtainable, some ground
plaster. This will help to dry the
mass thoroughly, and render it more
readily broken up when it isto be ap
plied.
A caution to those who use sul
phuric acid (oil of vitriol; against its
dangerous corrosive powers. When
used with care it is perfectly manage
able, but a dangerous substance to
handle carelessly. Never pour water
iato acid. When desiring to mix
them, pour the acid into the water,
stirring all the time. It is often rec
ommended mixing the water and acid
separately and pouring the mixture
the bones. When this is done
pour into a tub about three times as
much water as you propose to take
of acid (about 150 pounds of water
to 100 pounds of bone) then pour
from the pitcher, slowly and steadily,
the acid into the water, stopping
every little while and stirring the
mixture. It need not sarprise you
if the water grows very hot, and the
acid falls into it with a gurgling
-tmnd Should ny snaater upon t.b
person wipe it off at once, and apply
the soda or lye. ' Whether broken or
unbroken, rendered soluble or not,
bones should always be applied nn
derneath the surface of the ground.
Tmusplantinf Trees.
Transplanting fruit or forest trees
is a very simple operation, bat there
are some points to be regarded if we
would see them prosper.
The proper preparation of the
soil j
Care in taking up. not to injure
the small roots.
Setting firmly, so there shall be no
vacant space in the vicinity of the
roots. *
Planting with ns little delay as
possible.
Thore is bat little danger of dig
ging a hole too Urge, or pulverizing
the earth too fine, to receive a tree.
Hard lumps of earth,sods or stone,
are very unpalatable food for a newly
set tree.
Iu regard to taking np trees, some
roots will be mutilated, with the ut
most care. Attention to this will
save a year’s growth to the tree. The
sms.! fibrous roots are tho more im
portant ones, as they are feeders to
supply the tree with nourishment,
and these are the ones most likely to
be injured or destroyed.
All roots should be examined, and
those injured should be cut back to
eohnd wood.
While the tree is out of the ground,
the roots should he protected from
the air and sun. Many trees are
rained by lying eo exposed while the
holes are being dug to receive them.
Always have the ground prepared
before removing the tree from the
former position, then set as speedily
as possible, woikiug the line earth in
well among tho roots, and we have a
reasonable assurance that our labor
is not iu vain.
A Cheap Smoke House.
An exchange gives the following
directions from a Florida correspond
ent for making a cheap and i ffieient
smoke house. Dig a narrow pit from
twelve to eighteen inches deep,
throwing the earth ail on one side.
At the bottom of this pit dig a trench
of sufficient length to hold one or
two joints of stove-pipe at such an
angle as will bring the end away from
the pit to the surface of ths ground.
Over the end of the pipe set a large
barrel; remove both heads and bank
up the earth so that no smoke can
escape from the bottom. Hang the
meat to be smoked on round sticks,
placed across the top of the cask
Throw a cover over the sticks that
will leave space enough for draught
to let the smoke pass freely. Build
a fire of corn-cobs or sawdust in the
pit and the work is accomplished.
Here is a good way to keep pork:
As early in the spring as it can be
cured, and before the flies begin to
deposit the eggs, take the meat down
and put it in boxes. Cover the bot
tom of the box with salt; then pnt
a layer of meat, then another layer
of salt, and so on until the box is
full. The meat keeps nice and sweet,
and will never be troubled by skip
pers. The same salt may b® used
for putting away pork the next sea
son.

THE SUN FOR 1879.
The Sun will be printed ever} day daring
the year to come. Its parpose and method
will be the same as in the past: To present
all the news in a readable shape, and to tell
the truth though the heavens fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue
to be indeDendent of everybody and every
thing save the Truth and its own convictions
of duty. That is the only policy which an
honest newspaper need have. That is the
policy which has won for this newspaper the
confidence and friendship of a wider con
stituehey than was ever enjoyed by any oth
er American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people.
It is not for the rich mau against the poor
man, or for the poor man against the rich
man, but it seeks to do equal justice to all
interests in the community. It is not the
organ of any person, class, sect or party.
There need be ro mystery about its loves
and hates. It is for the honest man against
the rogues every time. It is for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republi
can, and for the houeat Republican as
against the dishonest Democrat It does
not take its cue from the utterances of any
politician or political organ ization. It gives
ita support unreservedly when men or meas
ures are in agreement with the Constitution
and with the principles upon which this Re
public was founded for the people. When
ever the constitution and constitutional
principles are violated—as in the outrageous
conspiracy of 1876, by which a man not
elected was placed in the President’s office,
where he stills remains—it speaks ont for
the Thati* The Sun’s idea of inde
pendence In this TANARUS( spect there will be no
change in its programme for 1179.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty ha
tred of rascals, frauds, and humbugs of ail
sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that
hatred not leas in the year 1879, than in
1878, 1877, or any year gone by. The Sun
will continue to shine on the wicked with
unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be
kept constantly before the people, the Sun
does not propose to make itself in 1879 a
magazine of ancient history. It is printed
for the men and women of to-day, whose
ooncern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day.
It has both the disposition and the ability
to afford its readers the promptest, fullest,
and most accurate intelligence of whatever
in the wide world is worth attention. To
this end the resources belonging to well
established prosperity will be liberally em
ployed
The present disjointed condition of par
ties in this oountry, and the uncertainty of
the future F lend an extraordinary significance
to the events of the coming year. The dis
cussions of the press, the debates and acts
of congress, and the movements of the
>~dera in every section of the republic, will
bve a direct bearing on the presidential
election of 1880—an event which must be
regarded with the most anxious interest by
evory patriotic American, whatever his po
litical ideas or allegiance. To these ele
ments of interest may be added the proba
b liiy that the democrats will control both
ho.*see of oongress, the increasing feebleness
of the fraudulent administration, and the
spread and strengthening everywhere of a
healthy abhorresoe of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy and clearness the
exact situation is each of its varying phases,
and to expound, according to its well
known methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth, will beau
important part of the Sum's work for 1879.
We have the means of making the Sun,
as a political, a liters./ and a general news
paper, more entertaining and more useful
than ever before; and we mean to apply
them freely.
