MACON, FEBRUARY 20 -830.
—Of English fanners, 477 were bank
rupt in 1877, 815 in ’78 and 1,431 in ’79.
Tlie Louisville and Nashville earn
ings for January were §048,476, against
$400,476 last year. The Central Pacifies
the same month were SI,233,000, against
$1,089,160, and the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas the first week in February $79,290,
against $48,SS5 in 1879.
—While the Rev. Mr. Broadway was
conducting revival services in his church
at Bradford, Ontario, and was kneeling in
prayer, Miss Clinch strode up the aisle,
with a shawl thrown over her head, and
began to pqund the minister, charging
that he had slandered her and ruined her
reputation. Amid great excitement she
was finally hustled out. Miss Clinch is
50 years old.
Learning a Dog to Talk.—Profes
sor Alonzo Butterfield, in a lecture on
Alexander Melville Bell’s system of visi
ble speech, said that teachers of languages
should not teach pupils simply to imitate
them in pronouncing, but should look in
their mouths and see that they use their
tongues and lips correctly. He said that
Professor Bell has taught a dog to say
“good morning” by the process.
—The Baltimore Sun says Standing
Bear, the Ponca chief, to-day testified be
fore the Senate select committee investi
gating the Ponca question. He complain
ed of the alleged deceit practiced by the
agents of the government who induced
the Poncas to go to the Indian Territory,
and also related in detail the hardships
endured by bis people while in that Terri
tory, and while endeavoring to return to
their homes on the Niobrara. The com
mittee will hear Bright Eyes to-morrow.
The Berlin Fish Exhibition.—The
Senate having concurred in House resolu
tion authorizing participation by the Uni
ted States in the Berlin international fish
exhibition in April, Commissioner Baird
desires to receive contributions to the ex
hibition promptly, as they must leave
New York by the middle of March. The
action of Congress was cabled by Mr.
Evarts to Minister White in Berlin, to
which Minister White replied: “General
satisfaction at American participation.
Five hundred metres assigned. Govern
ment desires greatly, besides other things,
Simples of fishery products and fresh fish,
llWng or packed in ice.”
^*shinoton Moving fob the Dem

the Baltih-x^ g un sa y 3 a meeting of lead
ing hotel prop^ators and citizens was held
to-night, with a to secure the hold
ing of the National D«.., ocratic c onven .
tion in Washington. It was »w C(1 tha t
the new National Museum building cma-i
»«• o«ared by authority of Congress for
the service of the Convention. All the
hotel proprietors and several citizens
agreed to subscribe §500 each in order to
defray necessary expenses, and it was de
termined to make a strong effort to in
duce the national committee to select
Washington.
—Havana, February 13.—General
Grant and party sailed this afternoon for
Vera Cruz, on the steamer City of Alex
andria. The same authorities who re
ceived the General on his arrival here ac
companied him to the steamer. The
party spent one day on the plantation of
Los Canos, and left last night, starting
from La Union Station at 1 o’clock on a
special train. Half an hour later the en
gine struck a cow and the train went off
the track, luckily without serious conse
quences. The fireman was wounded.
The train was running on an embank-
* ment ten feet high at the time of the ac-
oident. The passengers had to wait until
3 o’clock for another train, and arrived at
Havana at 6 o’clock in the morning.
Relief fob Ireland.—The New
York Herald’s Irish relief fund received
a splendid addition Wednesday in a §25,-
000 subscription from the Nevada Bank,
of San Francisco, of which Mr. Louis
McLane, of Baltimore, is president, and
of which Messrs. James G. Fair, Jame3
C. Flood, J. L. Flood and John W. Mae-
kay, the bonanza kiugs, are the directors
and principal stockholders. The Heralds
fund up to Wednesday evening aggregated
$173,591.36. The St. Louis Exchange is
gathering a shipload of provisions for Ire
land, and yesterday collected towards it
$2,500 in money, 300 barrels of flour, and
various lots -of pork, com, meat, meal,
corned beef, bread and other articles.
Death of the Lightning Proof-
Reader.—John C. Robinson, well known
as the “lightning proof-reader,” was found
dead in bed at his residence in Williams
burg, Yew York, Wednesday morning.
For many years he was a proof-reader on
the New York Tribune. In deciphering
manuscripts he was a marvel. He read
Richard Hildreth’s, Horace Greeley’s,
Gerrit Smith’s and other crabbed manu
scripts almost at a glance. When Mr.
Greeley himself was unable to decipher
one of his own written sentences he re
ferred it to Mr. Robinson, who looked at
it steadily for a minute or more, and made
out its meaning. Mr. Robinson’s rapidity
in reading a proof-sheet aloud was un
paralleled, and his enunciation is perfect.
He has pronounced 696 words in a minute,
which was at the rate of 41,760 words in
an hour.
—A Washington special says the House
Committee on education and labor de
cided to-day to report adversely to the
House Representative Thompson’s (Ky.,)
bill “providing for the distribution of the
fund from unclaimed pay and bounty of
colored soldiers for the education of the
colored race.” This action is based upon
the information furnished the committee
that the fund barely amounts to §200,000,
and is being constantly drawn upon by
claimants. The committee agreed to re
port favorably the resolution introduced
in the House by Representative Cox, (N.
Y.,) providing for the eight-hour law.
The resolution, as amended and adopted
by the committee, provides that, accord
ing to the true intent and meaning of sec
tion 3738 of the Revised Statutes, all la
borers, workmen and mechanics employ
ed by or in behalf of the government shall
hereafter receive a full days pay for eight
Lours’ work, and all heads of depart
ments, officers and agents of the govern
ment are hereby directed to enforce said
law as herein interpreted.

SSr Charles V. Riley, of the lute- calculable value to the growers of the
rioVDepartment, and head of the United great staple Hu report is profusely and
States Entomological Commission, has e.egantly illustrated.
prepared a most scientific and exhaustive
report, setting forth the natural history of
the cotton worm, its enemies, and the best
means of controlling the ravages of this
pestiferous insect.
The work is very elaborate and inter
esting, and should be in the hands of ev
ery intelligent cotton planter. We ap
pend a brief synopsis of some of the Pro
fessor’s views.
THE DESTRUCTIVENESS OF THE INSECT.
Experiments covering fifteen years show
that, under severe visitations, the loss va
ries from 30 to 98 per cent, on some plant
ations, while others may be but slightly
affected. Early stands and good cultiva
tion ensuring speedy maturity, will always
lessen the ravages of the worm, while any
cause that retards the crop increases its
baleful operations. Location has much to
do with the loss also. The worm seems
to be more damaging as you move west
from Georgia, increasing from 16 per cent,
in Georgia to 28 per cent, in Texas,
Warm, low latitudes, like Florida, like
wise, suffer severely. In Louisiana the in
sect is called “chenille,” but the scientific
name is Aletia. It exists in four states:
1st the egg; 2nd the larva or worm; 3rd
the chrysalis, and 4th the imayo or moth,
As many as forty-nine eggs have been
counted on a single leaf. It requires
about one month usually to perfect one
generation of insects, though in midsum
mer it may be procreated in three weeks
TIME OF HATCHING
In ordinary years the first worms hatch
from the middle of April to the middle of
May in the lower portions of the cotton
belt. At first they are very few in num
ber and may easily escape detection. They
afterwards multiply with more or less
rapidity according to the various condi
tions of the season. They frequently ope
rate only in spots, seeming to select the
low places where the weed is most luxu
riant. Observations in Texas show that
the moth liybemates in gin-houses, thatch
ed cattle pens and- the bark of trees, es
pecially the pine. ’They are found in
large numbers also during the winter in
the swamps of sweet gum, magnolia and
poplar of Alabama, and probably other
Southern States. As many as seven gen
erations may be hatched out and develop
ed in a single season. The author rejects
the idea that the Aletia burrows in the
ground and liybemates beneath the sur
face in a crysalis state. The chrysalides
so often mentioned as having been plowed
up in the spring time, he says, closely re
semble the insect but are an entirely dis
tinct species.
The idea that the cotton worm chrysa
lis cannot endure the slightest frost is er
roneous. They have been known to be
exposed with impunity to a temperature
often degrees bebny the freezing point,
but will not endure a greater degree of
cold. All those chrystalides ^jjjch do
not emit the - moth before the winter sets
in severely, invariably perish. Those cor
coons that are sometimeo^—’“ lU mtact, are
really suiiaDited by parasites who have
invaded the empty shells.
Professor Riley, after a very elaborate
course of, reasoning, concludes, therefore,
that tlio weight of evidence is decidedly
against the theory of annual extermina
tion in the southern portion at least, of the
cotton belt.
He believes, however, that the insect is
killed out every winter in the northern
part of the cotton region. Just where the
seperating line between extinction and
survival exists, cannot readily be ascer
tained. The Aletia may also be brought
in from tropical regions by favoring
winds and peculiar states of the atmos
phere, but facts seem to indicate that this
immigration is less frequent now than it
was in the beginning of the century.
NATURAL ENEMIES.
Some quadrupeds, such as the hog, the
opossum and skunk, when the worms are
feed upon them with
avidity. All domestic birds also,
including turkeys, chickens, geese,
and guinea fowl, may be utilized with
profit to destroy them, and even the bat
will feast upon the moths. Partridges,
blue jays, blue birds, kill dee, plover, and
especially rice birds, will destroy the
sect by millions. By the aid of the
latter when they come in large
flocks whole crops have been
saved. The mischievous little En
glish sparrow, too, has been tried, but on
account of its gramnivorous habits, with
out success.
Insectiferous enemies also work havoc
with the worms. Of these may be men
tioned spiders, wasps, ants, worms, bee
tles, fire flies, bugs, Dragonflies, mosquito
hawks, and a multitude of parasites.
HOW TO COPE WITH THE CATERPILLAR.
1st. By prevention/ Early planting, fre
quent, careful cultivation, the selection of
the earliest varieties of seed, topping the
weed—in short, the speediest maturity
possible will ensure a fair yiekl even in a
worm season.
Surrounding the field with jute, or sow
ing it in spaces between the rows, is recom
mended by Mr. Curtis Waldo, of New
Orleans, as a preventive, based on actual
observation. The remedy requires further
tests, however, before it can be authorita
tively endorsed.
2. By mechanical means.', These in
clude knocking or brushing the worms
from the plant, and crushing and killing
them by every way possible. For this
purpose a number of machines have been
invented. Among them, the Ewing
Brushing Machine, the Wood Smith Ma
chine, the Helm machine, the Iske ma
chine, and a simple contrivance by which
a broad piece of cotton bagging is dragged
over the rows of cotton, and scatters the
hanging insects.
3. - Poisoning. Arsenical compounds,
Paris Green, Arseniate of Soda, London
Purple, Pyrcthrum powder, kerosene oil,
cottonseed oil, carbolic acul, and sulphur,
are the most popular remedies in use.
Some of these in powder are distributed
by ingenious dusting machines, which we
have not space to describe. It is but fair
to say, however, that though effective to a
certain extent, no remedy of a sovereign
character has yet been devised for the
wholesale extermination of the caterpil
lars. Many of them, however, prove very
beneficial, and experiments should be
continued until some satisfactory solution
of the problem has been discovered.
The report concludes with a lucid ap
pendix, giving much valuable information
upon a multitude of subjects connected
with the cotton plant. Also, a statistical
table, showing the ravages of the cater
pillar in Louisiana from 1867 to lif).
We can only say, in concluding this no

The Status of the late Attempt to Sell
the Macon and Brunswick Bail-
road.
Nothing definite has transpired since
the passage through our city of the Bruns
wick committee, chaiged with the mission
ofseekiugto induce the Governor to re
verse his late decision, refusing to sign
the warranty title to the sale of the Ma
con and Brunswick Railroad. The fol
lowing “special” from Washington to the
Atlanta Constitution shows also that the
Governor is on the alert and resolved, if
within the bounds of possibility, to perfect
the sale upon the terms agreed on;
Washington, February 16.—Governor
Colquitt is here. He is conferring with
parties from New York. He will go there
if necessary. He is aiming to remove the
apprehensions concerning the §600,000
bonds so as to remove the obstacles which
have been in the way of the lease of the
Macon and Brunswick railroad. If this
is effected all the difficulty regarding the
lease now or hereafter will be removed.
C. H. W.
We have the personal assurances of
Governor Colquitt that he would leave no
stone unturned to effect a successful lease
or sale of the Macon and Brunswick rail
road. Our Chief Magistrate, if he does
chance to reside in the “hub” of the State,
so called, is nevertheless an original citi
zen of Southwest Georgia, and owns
plantation in the “cotton belt.” His sym
pathies are certainly with the people of
that section, so far as is consistent with
his duty to the whole commonwealth. We
do not eren yet despair of the situation,
and trust that additional light, and the
vox populi vox dei will induce our excel
lent Governor to append his signature to
the warranty title asked for by the pur
chasers of the Macon and Brunswick rail
road.

The Broiunlck Mass Meeting-StIr-
rlng Resolution*.
At a mass meeting of the citizens of
Bninswick and Glynn county
held in Bninswick, Friday night,
February 13tli, at 8 o’clock the for
lowing business wa3 transacted :
On motion Colonel C. W. Styles was
called to the chair and W. E. Kay, Esq.,
requested to act as Secretary.
After the Chair had explained the object
of the meeting, the following resolutions
offered by Mr. Goodyear were unani
mously adopted:
WiiEREas, We have authentic informa
tion from Atlanta, that the lessees of the
Macon and Bninswick rail road under the
bid made on the 13th of January,
were on the lltli and 12tli instants,
in the city of Atlanta fully pre
pared to comply with the
requirements of the lease act, and that
the said lease has failed, not by any fault
of theirs, but through the refusal of the
Governor t o make a warrranty title to
said road under the purchase clause of the
act;
And whereas, No clause of warranty
could hurt the State of Georgia, if her ti
tle to said property was good, and it is
unbecoming in a great State offering her
property at a fair price, to refuse to pro
tect purchasers;
And whereas, the refusal to make said
deed, defeats the lease and sale of the
road, and the great public policy of com
petition across her territory to her ports;
Resolved, That this mass meeting of
the citizens of Bninswick and county of
Glynn respectfully but earnestly—repre-
renting, as they believe, the sentiments of
four-fifths of : the people of the State of
Georgia—request his excellency Governor
Colquitt to reconsider his action and sign
such deed, thus confirming the lease and
sale, or immediately call the Legislature
in extra session and submit the matter to
them for final action.
Resolved further, That it is no part of
the policy of a great State calling itself
the Empire State of the South, to be deal
ing in or offering doubtful titles to pur
chasers, and that the dignity of the com
monwealth, the good name of her people
as well as their interests, are involved in
either Executive or Legislative solution of
this matter.
After the adoption of the above resolu
tions the following was offered and
adopted:
Resolved further, That the action of the
Mayor and Council of City of Brunswick,
in appointing Messrs. Merslion and Good
year to go to Atlanta to represent the inter
ests of this city in tills important matter,
is hereby endorsed, and that said gentle
men are hereby requested to present the
foregoing preamble and resolutions to his
Excellency, Governor Colquitt, and re
quest his earnest consideration of the
same. .•
On motion, the meeting then adjoumed.

Food for Live Stock, and the Best
Methods of Utilizing it
BY J. P. STEVENS, M. D.
About one bundled and fifty years ago,
the famous English satirist, Dean Swift,
ventured his opinion “that whoever could
make two ears of com, or two blades of
grass grow where one grew before would
deserve better of mankind, and do more
essential service to his country than the
whole race of politicians together.” This
proposition has ever received the popular
endorsement.
The rational inference to he deduced
from this proposition is, that he who econ
omizes to the best advantage the crop pro
ducts of the soil, and thus adds to the ma
terial wealth of the nation is a public
benefactor, and worthy of popular appre
ciation.
The object of this address is to say
something towards the solution of this
proposition, or to throw some scintillation
of light upon it. The subject is so vast in
its amplitude, and so comprehensive in its
details, that,.in the short limits of a popu
lar essay, I can venture but a few sug
gestive hints in its consideration.
I will commence by stating a few phy
siological principles, upon which is based
the subsequent development of the sub
ject.
The striking analogy that exists in the
organic structure of animals and vegeta
bles when reduced by chemical analysis
to tlieir atomic, or molecular constituents,
indicate their mutual dependence. Veg
etables show a more powerful organiza
tion than animals so far as concerns their
resources for self-sustenance.' Animals
are incapable of of utilizingmineral or in-
organic matter for their support, but find
in vegetables already formed the material
for building up the tissues of tlieir bodies.
Vegetables, on the other hand, call into
requisition the constituent elements of
air, earth and water, and through
the forces of nature, in their in
tricate and ingenious laboratory perfect
the most wonderful and admirable
specimens of mechanism. Through the
subtle agency of sunlight upon the green
leaves of plants, transformations of the
most bewildering complexity occur. Pu
trid exhulations from the ‘dung hill and
the charnel house, furnish the materials
whereby the endless and beautiful varie
ties, as well as the fragrance of the floral
kingdom, are evolved, entrancing our
—.mV mcapicMiwc uengur, ana sup
plying the material for the sustenance
and adornment of our bodies. The or
ganic development of vegetables is depen
dent, in a great measure, upon the pro
ducts of the putrefaction of animal mat
ter, the life and health of animals are
maintained by the indigestion of vegeta
bles. We see, therefore, the reciprocal
dependences of the two great Kingdoms
of Nature.
Plants perform their functions of diges-
tion and respiration through tlieir leaves;
in man a greater variety of functions is
required for the assimilation of food to the
different tissues of the body. Now, wliat
are the main constituents of animal and
vegetable matter? Four ultimate elements
that cannot be' further reduced; carbon,
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and an in
considerable portion of sulphur and phos
phorus.
These fundamental elements combine
in varying proportions to form the proxi
mate principles that enter into the tissues
of plants and animals, producing an iden
tity in their structural composition.
An herbivorous animal that subsists
chiefly upon vegetable matter, must
have for his support; first, albumen
casens, gluten.; second, oily and fatty
matter; third, starch, gum, sugar; fourth,
certain mineral matters, as lime, iron,
soda, magnesia. The same constituent
principles are observed in the analysis of
animal matter. First, the albuminoid, or
flesh producers; second, the oily or fat
producers; third, the starchy or heat pro
ducers ; fourth, the mineral or bone pro
ducers.
A due proportiou of all of these prin
ciples iiUbod is necessary to a condition
of good health and thriftiness in the ani“
il. An animal confined to the exclu
sive diet of the white of an egg, pure al
bumen, will become impoverished and
die.
Unmixed rations of gum, starch or su-
;ar, will produce similar results. A com
bination of the two above mentioned in
gredients, without certain mineral and in-
organie elements, phosphate of lime, iron,
or salt, will not supply the wants of ani
mals. A certain portion of the phosphate
of lime is absolutely necessary to the de
velopment of the bone tissue of the young
of all animals. Premature destruction of
the mother’s teetli lias been known to oc
cur from the excessive exhaustion of their
sbosphate of lime to meet the demands of
ier growing foetus. From the experi
ments of M. Chossat, pigeons fed alone
upon wheat, though for awhile did well
and put on fat, yet, ultimately, they great
ly declined in health and flesh. “In from
two to three months the birds appeared to
suffer from constant thirst; they drank
frequently; the feces become soft and li
quid, and the flesh wasted, and in from
eight to ten montlis, the creatures died
under the effects of a diarrhoea, which M.
Chossat attributed to deficiency of the cal
careous element in the food. The bones
of the pigeons become so weak and thin
that they broke from the usual efiorts of
moving about. Having taken a cursory
glance at the different classes of food ne
cessary for.the healthy development of the
animal, we might enlarge upon the chem
istry ot food, and the principles that are
involved in its conversion to the organic
tissues of the body, hut this would con
sume unnecessary time and space. I will
proceed, therefore, to a consideration of
the method employed for the proper as
similation of food and its economical use.
Different kinds of food exhibit variable
nutritive qualities according to their
chemical constitution. Some abound in
flesh-forming qualities, others have a pre
dominance of fat-forming elements, and
others still of saccharine matters that are
chiefly concerned in the production and
maintenance of animal beat. The follow
ing tabic will explain itself:
Comparative analysis of different kinds
of agricultural products:
of the muscles of the stomach, as well as
its juices or secretions that are concerned
in the solution of food for its conversion
into the organic constituents of the body.
This is accomplished by a process of
mastication or grinding by the teeth, and
the moisture supplied to the mouth
through its salivary glands. An animal,
therefore, that has been deprived by age
or violence of the proper use of his teeth,
and is incapable of properly grinding his
food will lose a large percentage of grain
fed to it whole, and not cooked. It is
true that the carnivora that feed entirely
or chiefly on flesh simply tear to pieces
their food before swallowing it. But,
with them, not only does the gastric
juice have more powerful solvent proper
ties, but the chief constituent of flesh,
animal fiibrin, is much more readily
convertible into blood than vegetable sub
stances. Ruminant animals, such as the
ox, have a much more elaborate and com
plex digestive apparatus than the horse
or pig. As is well known the cow has
four stomachs. In the first of which the
food is usually received and moistened,
then transferred to the second stomach,
where it is worked up into balls, to be
regurgitated or thrown back into thi
mouth at the animal’s leisure and ground
up, and then transferred to the third and
fourth stomachs successively, for proper
digestion and assimulation. In the calf,
while it subsists upon milk, the latter is
directly conveyed to the third stomach,
where it is readily digested by pepsin,
with which it is so abundantly supplied.
On referring to the before-mentioned ta
ble, it is found that there is great diversi
ty in the nutritive materials supplied by
different articles ot food. Professor Tan
ner estimates that—
25 lbs. Of m ! lk furnish 1 lb. of meat.
100 lbs. of turnips furnish 1 lb. of meat.
50 lbs. of potatoes furnish 1 lb. of meat.
9 lbs. of oatmeal furnish 1 lb. of meat.
7.1 lbs barley furnish . . 1 lb meat.
7.4 “ wheat flour “ . . . 1 “ “
3.3 “ peas «... 1 “ “
5 to 6 lbs lintseed cake furnish 1 “ “
Now, for properly utilizing food, it is
not only necessary that we should know
its equivalent value in the production of
blood and flesh, but we must be informed
of the conditions requisite for its conver
sion into the tissues of the body. It is
well known that there is a continual pro
cess of waste and repair going on in the
animal body. Certain articles of food are
called flesh-formers, because they arc
chiefly concerned in repairing the expend
iture of flesh, bone and nerve tissue; oth
ers are employed in furnishing ani
mal heat and in maintaining the
functiou of respiration, and in deposits
of fat. Wherever, therefore, the process
of waste of the different tissue is greater
than the supply of appropriate food, the
animal must decline in condition. Every
movement of the body, and every cold
blast of wind are followed by a certain
degree of disintegration or waste of tissue.
An excitable, nervous, restless animal
rarely ever acrumulates fat. A large
portion of his food is expended in repair
ing the attrition of the forces that are em
ployed in maintaining the equilibrium of
the functional activities oi his different
organs. Comfortable bouses that alford
ample protection extremes of cold or heat,
are the savings bank of the farmer; in tiie
diminished rations of food that ate sup
plemented by enconomizing the waste of
tissue in the increased health and comfort
of his animals. In this respect fanners
too often practice a wasteful prodigality
in the use of food by neglecting to afford
their live stock protection against the vi
cissitudes of the weather. Almost every
one has observed the extreme difficulty of
fattening hogs in open pens, after the
winter has fairly commenced. As much
food as the animal can possibly digest
may be given Yvltliuut stint, yet lie, not
unfrequently, does not accumulate flesh,
but steadily" declines in condition, after
weeks and months of confinement. For
attaining the best results variety in the
use of food is as necessary as its abun
dant supply. A proper admixture
of fat formers, flesh formers, and heat
producers, to supply all the wants of the
animal economy, are imperatively deman
ded for efficient and healthy development.
The best results are reached when these
varieties of food are given separately, at
stated hours of the day, and just as much
and no more than the animal will entire
ly consume at a meal.
A ration of com in the morning, one of
potatoes at noon, and peas at night, fulfil
all the indications of science, aud expe
rience attests the highest condition of
health aud beauty of which the animal is
capable. By our table of analysis it will
appear that the flesh-producing prop
erty of peas is double that of corn,
though cemparativelyiuferior for producing
fat. There is no single article of diet that
is superior to com as a fat-producer, yet it
may not be considered as healthy food for
the young of all farm stock, unless com
bined with more nitrogenous food. Sweet
potatoes, when alternated or fed with com
may be considered highly nutritious aud
fattening.
COOKED OR UNCOOKED FOOD.
It is conceded by the vast majority of
farmers who have prepared beef cattle
and swine for the shambles, that cooking
their food greatly aids its nutritious and
fattening qualities. By this process it is
brought into condition whereby its masti
cation is more thoroughly secured, and its
starchy elements are more speedily and eas
ily assimilated to the organic tissues of the
body. In ruminant animals, however, a
considerable proportion of long forage
should be given with it to secure its proper
digestion. From some experiments made
by the Maine Agricultural College we
have the following statistical facts in the
feeding of swine, each trial during twenty-
four weeks:
1870. Comparative Taiuc of
scalded meal fed warm, and
cooked meal fed warm, to
raw meal fed cold . . . 95.5 to 100
1872. Cooked meal to the value
of raw meal 74.S lo 100
1873. Cooked as to the value of
raw meal 91.0 to 100
1875. Cooked meal as to the
value of raw meal . . . 72.3 to 100
1876 value of cooked meal as
to raw meal 8S8 to 100
1S77 Value of ccok meal as
to raw meal 642 to 100
By striking the average lor the last five
years of this experiment, we see the ad
vantage of feeding cooked food over that
of raw food is nearly 25 per cent.
THE VALUE OF CRACKED VS. WHOLE
CORN.
Those who are in the habit of feeding
purpose. j of warning against the delusive tempta-
Bouissangault estimates the flesh pro-; tion that is presented to many to neglect
during properties of oil cake as high as their provision crops for the increased
40 per cent. He says, “the almost uhi-! production of cotton. I hope I may be
versaluseofoilcake in the feeding and pardoned, therefore, for a reproduction of
fattening of cattle, is of itself sufficient ev
idence of its highly nutritive qualities.
It has even been found possible to keep
sheep and oxen upon this food almost ex
clusively. M. Bouscaren, finding consid
erable difficulty in getting rid of his oil
cake, thought of associating with his oil
mill an establishment for feeding cattle;
and he found that oxen put up to fatted
throve perfectly upon a refuse of the wine
press and oil cake. * * The allowance
per head is about fifteen pounds' of. oil
cake in three meals, giveneach time imme
diately after the animals had been wa
tered, and in the interval, each is al
lowed about twelve pounds of straw or
chaff.
The cake broken in pieces steeped in
water and worked up to a paste, to the
consistency of dough. If the animals
show any disinclination to this food at
first, they are brought to liking it by hav
ing a hall of it, the size of the fist, admin
istered to them, two or three times.”
Among the ruminant animals,or those that
chew the cud, bulkiness of the food is an
indispensable requisite to its proper diges
tion. The capaciousness of their stom
achs is such as to require a considerable
bulk of food to secure a proper stimula
tion of the glands that secrete the gastric
fluid, that is concerned in the digestive
process. Byfurnishing an adequate amount
of dry straw or hay with the oil cake its
nutritive value may be properly appreciat
ed. It wi .1 readily occur to us what an am
ple resource we have as an article of food,
the immense quantity ol oil cake that
may be thus utilized in the residuum
that occurs in the manufacture of oil from
our cotton seed.'. Professor Tanner esti-
mates that from five to six pounds of oil
cake will produce one pound of increase
in live weight, while it. will require from
iOOto 150 pounds of turnips to produce
similar results.
•' GREEN FOOD.
“The state of dryness of certain kinds of
forage may have a marked influence on
their nutritious qualities. They may
even decline in nutritive value by
the process of diying, so that analysis, of
itself, may lead ns into error in regard to
the nutritive value of dry articles of food.
Breeders have, in fact, long suspected that
green fodder is more nutritious than diy
fodder; that grass, clover, etc., loose nu
tritious matter by being converted into
hay. That the thing is so in fact, appears
to have been demonstrated by a skillful
agriculturalist well acquainted with the
art of experimenting, who found that nine
pounds of green lucerne were quite equal
in foddering sheep to three aud three-
tenths pounds of the same fodder made
into hay, while he, at the same time, as
certained that nine pounds of green lu
cerne would not, on an average, yield
more than 2.02 pounds of hay. r
My own experience fully attests
the value of green food as a ration to
working stock as well as to milch kine
For the last twenty years, I have never
failed to have an abundant supply of
millet—the cat-tail variety,and sometimes
along with it the German millet—and
never expect to dispense with. I have
fully tested its value, and the memorable
year in which tlie Western corn merchant
had dominion over me, I am at a loss to
know what would have become of me
without its valuable aid. After a few
days of watchful attention over its intro
duction, I fed my mules upon it ad libi
tum, without any other long forage; and
with a moderate supply of gram
I accomplished the summer’s work
successfully, with the most satisfactory
crop results
Iu pursuing the plan proposed by Dr.
Jones from Burke, in an essay read before
this society two or three years ago, by
sowing cow peas with the cat-tail "millet,
we have the perfect type of a long forage
crop, combining as it does all of these
elements that are concerned in building
up the different animal tissues. I would
prefer risking the cultivation of a crop
with a diet of peas and millet, to submit
ting to the mortification and expense of
buying Western com.
From the experiments of distinguished
agriculturists, it is satisfactorily establish
ed that there is not only economy in the
use of green over diy food, but the
risk of cming hay, * on account
of the very uncertain atmosphere,
ic changes, is avoided. Experience fur
ther proves that green food, fed with
grain and a modicum of dry long forage^
will greatly contribute to the health of
the animal, as is apparent in an earlier
shedding of his winter coat, and an im
provement of his spirit and an increase of
his flesh,
And now, in connection with the sub
ject of green soiling, allow me to make an
observation with reference to the proper
time for cutting green forage and con
verting it into hay. Planters are often
unaware of the loss which is often sus
tained in the practice of many in this
particular. How often do we see wagon
loads of hay brought into our Southern
towns and cities for sale that is absolutely
worthless, and fit only as litter
for the stalls of horses and cattle.
The plant as a whole is fully freighted
with nutritious matter just before flower
ing. At that time the stem and leaves
are full to their utmost capacity, of the al
buminous, starchy and mineral matters of
which they are composed, and in which
their nutritious properties consist. As
soon as the flowers are formed, there is a
diversion of these properties to the ulti
mate extremeties of the stalks and vines for
the formation and completion of the re
productive functions of the plant, in the
development of its seeds. If, therefore,
the process of cutting the plant is defer
red until the seeds are fully formed, the
value of the fodder is materially impaired
by its loss of mineral and vegetable matter
that is stored ill the seeds. According to
Wolff, red clover at the beginning of flow
er, contains 11.26 per cent of nutritions
matter; red clover hay cut at the begin
ning of flowering, contains 55.43 per cent,
of nutritive matter, while the same cut in
full flower contained only 46.07 per cent.
—Scientific Farmer.
From the foregoing consideration of the
subject of our essay, we readily perceive
what a variety and abundance of resource
we have for supplementing the disastrous
results of the protracted drought which
prevailed the last year over a'large por
tion of our State. From Middle Geoigia
to the Florida line, there is scarcely a
month in the year in which we cannot

tliat Western com was very
fatal to stock, I determined to use as little
of it as possible. In my Little Giant mill,
which crushed on an average ten bushels
per hour, I cracked all of my stock food,
and saved twenty per cent, by this pro
cess. One bushel of whole com yielded
five pecks of cracked com, and I found by
repeated experiments that the same ratio
of either would prove equally nutritious,
aud maintain the animals in equally good
condition. The expense of crashing the
com was a small item, as a large quantity
could be prepared at times when the
mules were idle, and not needed in the
crop. My experience with Western com
was entirely satisfactory, but I have not
since repeated the experiment with that
kind of com.
OIL CAKE.
From the analysis of oil cake, it should
rank high as a nutritious and valuable ar
ticle of diet for live stock, as the following
items will show:
Moisture 12.00
Oil 11.50
Nitrogenous composition (flesh pro
duce) 29.70
Mucilage and digestible fibre (fat

For the proper digestion of food it cake should always oe fed with a consid-
sliould be brought into such a mechanical erable allowance of straw or bay to aid in
I condition as that it may be most readily its proper digestion. Wheat or oat straw
com fodder, the vetch and pea vine hay
for summer feeding. Again, for hogs, we
can commence in March with the chufa,
to be followed by ground peas, the bunch
speckled pea,sweet potatoes and cornfield
peas for fall and winter feeding, besides
allowing the hogs the gleanings of the
oats'and wheat fields. By highly manur
ing a fraction of the oat crop, and plant
ing in October, it may be sufficiently ma
tured to furnish a plentiful supply of the
best of food by the 20th May.
After many years of doubt aud unbe
lief, our planters are beginning to appre
ciate this inestimable boon to the cotton
planter. It is now unquestionable that
our plow stock, upon au exclusive diet
of oats with wheat or oat straw,
can endure the severest labor during
the entire summer, without any com or
com fodder, and enjoy better health than
upon a liberal diet of com and fodder
alone. The decrease in the mortality of
mules since the mania for plantiug oats
has generally prevailed, is a fact of wide-
spead notoriety, and we hail with delight
this innovation upon tbe suicidal customs
of past years. By intelligent and econom
ical management in tbe arrangement of
our fields, and by the bestowment of
proper care of our liogs, it is believed, and
tin's belief substantiated by experience,
that pork can be raised at an expense not
exceeding six cents per pound, when
cured into bacon. Notwithstanding this
an extract from an address which I bad
the honor of delivering before the Lee
county Agricultural Society about six
years ago which I think is peculiarly ap
plicable to our present circumstances.
“Next in importance to the proper enrich
ing of our soil is the judicious diversifying
°f. its products, making our farm? self-sus
taining. Never shall we achieve and
maintain our independence of our thral
dom of debt, until we are independent of
the fluctuations of tbe cotton market.
To risk everything upon one single item
of agricultural production is sheer folly.
The opinion was formerly entertained
that free free labor would never be able
to produce a crop of cotton so large as to
make its production unremunerative.
This folly has been proved to the sorrow
of nine-tenths oi the cotton planters in
the Southern States. We are now con
vinced that engagements for the produc
tion of cotton upon a visible basis of 20
cents per pound, bad to be met with the
sale of cotton at ten cents per pound,
Solve the problem on paper by the most
plausible mathematical calculations, that
that it is cheaper te make cotton and buy
your provisions, and, taking a series of
years, these calculations will most em
phatically prove false. You will find
that you have been following an ignis
fatuus, which has led you by its
false and alluring light into the
quagmire of extreme distress, if not of
total bankruptcy. Is it the man
who had his com crib and smoke house in
the West, and bought fertilizers on time
to make cotton that cost him fifteen cents
per pound, and which he was compelled
to sell at ten cents per pound? Is it not
rather he who, in preparing for his crop,
made ample calculations for an abun
dance of com and small grain with which
to keep fat mules, and fat hogs, and
good supply of the luxuries of the dairy,
and then planted as much cotton as lie
could safely venture to thoroughly culti
vate? What satisfaction is there in the
reputation of having made 200, oOO^or
1,000 bales of cotton at the sacrifice of
personal independence? Such a sys
tem of planting is but a game
of chance as uncertain in its results
as the operations of the? profession
al gamester. It is pernicious in its
tendency, obtunding the moral sense, and
often the legitimate offspring of avarice
and greed. The present low price of
meat and bread, we fear, will tempt many
to relax their efl'orts laudably commenced
for personal independence of the grocer
ies of the West, and, oblivious of the past,
retrace their steps that conducted them to
the brink of ruin. But is it not in accor
dance with past experience that excessive
production of cotton in any single year
may surfeit the market, and reduce the
price bolow the point of remuneration?
Even should we be convinced that at pre
sent prices it is cheaper to buy provisions
and make cotton, what guar
antee have we of a continua
tion of the present price of cotton
or provisions. Let us, therefore,
heed the admonitions of the past, and
pursue the only course that is marked out
by an enlightened judgment and practical
knowledge. Let the "whole cotton-grow
ing section resolve to be self-sustaining in
meat and bread, and curtail the produc
tion of cotton to a degree commensurate
with the necessity for the attainment of
this object; let us utilize our internal re
sources for the resuscitation of our ex
hausted soil, invest our sutplus capital in
the development of our pomological, hor
ticultural and mechanical industries, then
shall our march be steadily onward and
upward towards an abounding and endur
ing prosperity.

Many indulge the hope that the Governor
will have such an array of legal acumen
and lore brought to bear upon him, aside
from the pronounced wishes of the people
and the emphatic deliverances of the late
General Assembly, all in favor of the sale,
that he will be induced to reconsider his
decision, and even yet append his signa-

Others are clamorous for an extra ses

doubtful questions at issue. Still a third
class are of the opinion that a few months
ot delay will work no injury to any one,
and in the end may inure to the advan
tage of the State.
But in the meanwhile, we are advised
that the Governor has been called to
Washington on important business, and is
not just now accessible to any one. Of one
thing, however, we feel’quite certain, Gov

and be guided by no other monitor than
the intuitions of his own conscience. We
know that he did most earnestly desire

The Chinese in California.
Poor John Chinaman is having a hard
time of it in California. The working
men associations are determined to en
force the new constitution forbidding the
employment of Chinese laborers.
On the other hand, the railroad compa
nies, factories and mining proprietors,
justly, we think, regard the law unconsti
tutional, and aver their determination to
disregard it until formally tested in the
courts. This action, however, has roused
the ire of the sand-lot Governor and Leg
islature, and a San Francisco dispatch of
the 13th inst., says:
Tlio Assembly to-day passed a bill to
enforce the clause of the constitution at
issue by a vote of 73 to 2, and the Gover
nor promptly signed it. A dispatch an
nouncing the Governor’s action was read
at the sand lot during the meeting, and
greeted with prolonged cheers for the bill
and for the Governor. The workingmen
will again parade to-morrow. Many
members of the Legislature voted for the
hill merely to bring about some settle
ment of the question, as it will doubtless
come before the courts at an early day.
If this principle was carried out in
practice, it would be nothing more nor
less than the re-assertion of Native Ameri
canism in its most offensive form. Our
Irish, German and Scotch friends would
then certainly be placed on the anxious
bench. How can the United States go
back on her treaty stipulations with
China, or under our liberal institutions
prevent the ingress of a peaceable popula
tion from any country on the globe?
Granted that the Chinese are not a desir
able element in any community. But the
same may be said of the Mormons and
French Communists, but who seeks to
keep them out or deny them homes and
employment in this country ?
We sincerely trust that the presciptive
