MACON, FEBRUARY 24 .SSO.
—Of English farmers, 477 were bank
rupt in 1877,815 in "18 and 1,431 in ’79.
—The Louisville and Nashville earn
ings for January were $048,470, against
$450,470 last year. The Central Pacifies
the same month were $1,233,000, against
$1,089,100, and the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas the first week in February $79,290,
against $43,335 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 pound 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 lias 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 his 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 ;o the ex
hibition promptly, as tftey must leave
New York by the middle of March. The
aotion 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,
samples of fishery products and fresh fish,
living or packed in ice.”
Washington Moving fob the Dem
ocratic Convention.—A dispatch to
the Baltimore Sun says a meeting of lead
ing hotel proprietors and citizens was held
to-night, with a view to secure the hold
ing of the National Democratic Conven
tion in Washington. It was stated that
the new National Museum building could
be secured 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 Crua, 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
8 'o’clock for another train, and arrived at
Havana at C 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, James
C. FloOO, J. L. Flood and John W. Mac-
kay, the bonanza kings, are the directors
and principal stockholders. The Heralds

$173,591.30. 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, corn, meat, meal,
corned beef, bread and Other articles.
Death of the Lightning Proof-
Reader—John C. Robinson, well knowq
as the “lightning proof-reader^” was found
dead in bed at his residence in Williams
burg, New York,. Wednesday morning!
For many yeats he was a proof-reader on
the New York Tribune. In deciphering
manuscripts ho was a marvel. He read
Richard Hildreth’s, Horace Greeley’s,
Gerrlt 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 liis enunciation is perfect.
He has pronounced C90 words in a minute,
which was at the rate of 41,700 words in
an hour.
—A Washington special says the House
Committee on education and labor de
cided to-day to report adversely to tbe
House Representative Thompson’s (Ky.,)
bill “providing for the distribntion of the
fluid from unclaimed pay and bounty of
colored soldiers for the education of the
colored race,” This action is based upon
tbe information furnished the committee
that the fund barely amounts to $200,000,
and is being constantly drawn upon bjr
claimants. The committee agreed to re
port favorably the resolution introduced
in tbe House by Representative Cox, (N.
Y.,) providing for tlie eight-liour law.
.The resolution, as amended and adopted
by tbe committee, provides that, accord
ing to the true intent and meaning of sec
tion 8738 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
hours' work, and all heads of depart
ments, officers and agents of the govern
ment are hereby directed to enforce said
law as herein interpreted.

History Of the Cotton Caterpillar- doubt not, if continued, they will be of in-
Professor Charles V. Riley, of the Inte- | calculable value to the growers of the
rior DeparttSto't, and head of .the United great staple. His report is profusely and
States Entomological Commission, has
prepared a most scientific andexhaustive
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 bands of ev
ery intelligent cotton planter. u .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, tbe loss va
ries from 80 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 tbe ravages of tbe worm, while any
cause that retards tbe crop increases its
baleful operations. Location has much to
do with the loss also. Tlie worm seems
to be more damaging as you move west
from Georgia, increasing'from 18 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 tbe scientific
name is Aletia. It exists in four states:
1st the egg; 2nd the larva or worm; 3rd
the chrysalis, and 4tb 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 tlie 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 frequent ly ope
rate only in spots, seeming to select the
low places where Hie weed is most luxu
riant. Observations .ip Texas show that
the moth liybernatcs in gin-houses, thatch
ed cattle pens and the bark of trees, es
pecially the pine. They are found in
largo numbere 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-j
erations may be hatched ont and develop
ed in a single season. The author rejects
the idea that the Aletia burrows in the
gnmnd and hybemates 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
sernbJc the insect but are an entirely dis
tinct species.
The idea that the cotton worm chrvsa
lis cannot endure the slightest frost is er
roneous. They have been known to be
exposed with impunity to a temperature
often degrees below the freezing point,
but will not endure a greater degree of
cold. All those clirystalides which do
not emit the moth before tbe winter sets
in severely, invariably perish. Those co
coons that are sometimes found intact, are
really inliabited by parasites who have
invaded the empty shells.
Professor Riley, after a very elaborate
course of, reasoning, concludes, therefore,
that the weight of evidence is decidedly
against the theory of annual extermina
tion in tbe southern portion at least, of the
eotton belt.
He believes, however, that’ the insect is
killed out every winter in the northern
part of tlie cotton region. Just where the
seperating line between extinction and
survival exists, cannot reaflily be ascer
tained. The Aletia may also be brought
in from tropical regions by favoring
winds and peculiar states of the atmos
phere, bat 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 tbe hog, tlie
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 ntilized with'
profit to destroy them; and even the bat
will feast upon tbe motlis. Partridges,
bine jays, blue birds, kill dee, plover, and
especially rice birds, will destroy the in
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 1 , too, has been tried, but on
account of its gramnivorohs habits, with
out Success.
Inscctiferons enemies also work liavoc
with the worms. Of these may be men
tioned 'spiders, wasps," ants, worms, bee
tles, fire flies, bugs, Dragon flies, mosquito
Iiawks, 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 yield even in a
worm season. • •, !f
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,, tbe Wood Smith Ma
chine, the Heim machine, the Iskq : ma
chine, and a simple contrivance by f which
abroad piece of cotton bagging is dragged
over tb? rows of cotton, and scatters the
hanging insects.
; 3.. Poisoning. Arsenical compounds,
Paris Green, Arseniate of Soda, London
Purple, Fyrethrum powder, kerosene oil,
cottonseed oil, carbolic acid, and sulphur,
are the most popular remedies in, use.
Some of these in powder are distributed
by ingenious dusting machines, .which we
liave not space to describe. It. is but fair
to say, however, that tlipugli 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.

pendix, giving much valuable information

with the cotton plant. Also, a statistical

The Status of the late Attempt to Sell
the Macon and Brunswick Bail-
road.
Nothing definite lias transpired since;
the passage through our city of the Bruns
wick committee, charged with the mission;
of seeking to induce the Governor to -re
verse liis late decision - ,' refusing to sign
the warranty title to'tSe Sale of ^the Ma
con and Brunswick: Railroad. Thefol-
lowing “special” from Washington to- the
Atlanta Constitution shows alsothat the
Governor is on the alert and'1 resulted; :if
within tlie bounds of possibility, to perfect
the sale upon the terms agreed on:
Washington; February lC.—Governor
Colquitt is here. He is'conferring with:
parties from New York. He will go tliei-e
if necessary. He is aiming to remove tlie
apprehensions concerning tlie- $600,Owl
bonds so as to remove the obstacles which
have been in the way of tlie lease of the
Mapon and Brunswick railroad. If this
is effected all the difficulty regarding the
lease now or hereafter will be removed.
C.H.W.
We have tlie personal assurances of
Governor Colquitt that he would leaveRo'
stone unturned to effect a successful lease
or sale of the Macon and Brunswick rail-
load. Our Chief Magistrate, if lie does
chance to reside in the “hlib” of the State,
so called, is nevertheless an original citi
zen of Southwest Georgia, and owns. a
plantation in the “eotton belt.” His sym
pathies are certainly withthe people of
that section, so far as is consistent with
his duty to the whole commonwealth. We
do not even yet despair of the situation,
and trust that additional light, and tlie
cox popidi vox dei will induce our excel
lent Governor to appemihis signature to
the warranty title asked for -by the pur
chasers of the Macon and Brunswick rail
road.
An Admirable Essay.
We call attention to the valuable paper
of our fellow-townsman, Dr. J. P. Ste
vens, entitled “ Food for Live Stock, and
the Best Method of Economising It,”
which appears elsewhere. This was one
of tlie contributions to tlie late conven
tion of the State Agricultural Society at
Cnthbcrt, and challenges the attention of.
every intelligent planter.
We are sure our farmer friends and tlie
public at large will be glad to read and
give lieed to the suggestions of Hr. Ste
vens, which are based upon long practical
experience, and a careful study of all-the
theories involved in the premises.

Food for Live Stock, and the Best
Methods of Utilizing it.
, 1: , ‘ BY J.'P. STEVENS, It, D.
About one hundred and fifty years ago,
the famous English satirist, Dean Swift,
ventured his opinion “that whoever could
make two ears of coni, 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.
Tbe rational. inference to be deduced
from this proposition is, that he who econ
omizes to the best advantage tbe crop pro
ducts pf ^Ba soil, and thus adds to tlie ma
terial wealth of tjbe nation is a public
benefactor,’and wpythy of popular appre
ciation.
•TBe objectoF : Ibis address is lo -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. • '« et» i 1 -i .
i Tbe striking analogy that exists in the
organic structure of animals and vegeta
bles When reduced by chemical analysis
to their atomic; or molecular constituents,
indicate their mutual dependence. Veg
etables show a more powerful organiza
tion than animals so far as concerns tlieir
resources for self-sustenance. Animals
are Incapable of of utilizing mineral or in
organic matter for tlieir support, but find
in vegetables already formed tbe material
for building up tbe tissues of their bodies.
Vegetables, on tbe other band, 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
tbe most wonderful and admirable
specimens of mechanism. Through the
subtle agency of sunlight npon the green
leaves of plants, transformations of the
most bewildering complexity occur. Pu
trid exfoliations from the 'dung hill and
tbe charnel house, famish the materials
whereby tbe endless and beautiful varie
ties, as well as tbe fragrance of tbe floral
kingdom, are evolved, entrancing our
sense with inexpressible delight, and snp-
ptving tlie material Tor the sustenance
and adornment of our -"bodies. Tbe or
ganic development of vegetables is depen
dent, in a great measure, upon* tbe pro
ducts of the putrefaction of animal mat
ter, the life and health of animals are
maintained by tbe indigestion of vegeta
hies. We see, therefore, the reciprocal
dependences of the two great Kingdoms
of Nature* i .. . ,jj ..
Plants perform tlieir functions of diges
tion and respiration through their 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 auimal and
gcfable matter ? Four ultiiiiate elements
at cannbt be further reduced; carboii,
oxygen; hydrogen, nitrogen, and aniu-
considerablfc portion of sulphur and phos
phorus. . .
These fundamental elements combine
in varying proportions to form theproxi-
-mate;principles that enter into the tissues
of plants and animals, producing an iden
tity in their structural composition.
An herbivorous' hrifmal that subsists
chiefly upon' TSgfitaBler ; "'ii3tter, must
have for -bis 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
principled are observed in the-analysis of
animal matter.: First, tlie albuminoid, or
fiesh producers; second, the oily or fat
producers; third, the starchy or heat pro-
Ucers; fourth, the mineral or bone pro
ducers. SW bna .*>:::» :<Jl . *,:•-> T
A due proportion -of all of these prin
ciples in food is necessary to a condition
of good health ana tli'riftiness fn the ani*

Bouissangault estimates the flesh pro- 1 tion that is presented to many to nh"lect
dneingproperties ofoil cake as high as their provision crops for the increased
40 per cent. He says, '“the almost nni- '
into-tbe 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 lias 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 tbe gastric
juice have more powerful solvent proper
ties, but tbe 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 tbe first of which the
food is usually received and moistened,
then transferred to tlie second stomach,
where it is worked up into balls, to be
regurgitated or thrown back into tin
mouth at the animal’s leisure and ground
up, and then transferred to the third and
fourth*stomachs successively, for proper
digestion and assimulation. Lithe calf,
while it subsists upon milk, tbe latter is
directly conveyed to tbe third stomach,
tvhere it is readily digested by pepsin,
with which it is so abundantly supplied.
On referring to tbe before-mentioned ta
ble, it is found that there is great diversi
ty in the nutritive materials supplied by
different articles of food. Professor Tan

Cliossat attributed to dijiciencyof the cal

glancd at:the different classds of food ne-
cessary for tlie healthy development of tlie
animal, we might enlarge ppon the chem
istry ol food; and'the principles tiiat arc
involved in its conVe^idn to the organic
tissues of the /body, but ;this would con-
cessary 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.
i Different kinds of food exhibit variable
nutfitiye qualities according to their
chemical constitution.Soipe .abound itt
flesh-forming qualities, others haVo a pre
dominance of fat-lorming elements, and
Others still of saccharine matters that are
chiefly concerned ip ^the production and
inaintenance of animal beat. Tlie follow
ing table will explain itself: '
Comparative analysis of different kinds
of agricultural products:
25 lbs. of milk 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 . .libmeat.
7.4 “ wheat flour “ . . . 1 “ “
3.3 “ peas «... 1 “ “
5 to 0-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 are
chiefly concerned in repairing tbe expend
iture of flesh, bone and nerve tissue; oth
ers are employed in furnishing ani
mat-heat and in maintaining, the
function 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 auimal
rarely ever acrumnlates fat. A large
portion of his-food is expended in repair
ing tlie attrition of the forces that are em
ployed in maintaining the equilibrium of
the functional activities of his different
organs. Comfortable houses that afford
ample protection extremes of cold or heat,
arc the savings bank of the farmer; in the
diminished rations of food that are sup
plemented by encouomizing the waste of
tissue in the increased health ami comfort
of his animals. In this respect farmers
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 tha
winter has fairly commenced. As much
food as the animal can possibly digest
may he given without stmt, yet he, not
utifrequently, does not accumulate fiesh,
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 flit formers, flesli formers, and heat
producers, to supply all the wants of the
animal economy, are imperatively deman
ded foreflicient 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 tlie auimal 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 tbe indications of science, and expe
rience attests tlie highest condition of
health and beauty of which the animal is
capable. By our table of analysis it will
appear that the ftesli-producing prop
erty of peas ; . is double that of com,
thouglrcemparativelyinferior 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
tlie young of all farm stock, unless com
bined with more nitrogenous food. Sweet
potatoes, when alternated or fed with corn
may be considered highly nutritious and
fattening.
COOKED OR UNCOOKED FOOD.
ti is conceded by the vast majority of
farmers wlio have prepared beef cattle
and swine for the shambles, that cooking
tlieir 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 annuals, however, a
‘considerable proportion of long forage
should be given with it to secure its proper
digestion. From some experiments made
by tbe Maine Agricultural College we
have tbe following statistical facts in the
feeding of swme, each trial during twenty-
four weeks:
1870. Comparative Yalue of
scalded meal fed warm, and
cooked meal fed warm, to

By striking the average lor the last live
year? of tills experiment, we see the ad
vantage of feeding cooked food oyer that
of raw food is nearly 25 per cent.
THE VALUE of' CRACKED ■ VS.. -.WHOLE
COHN.
Those who are in the habit of feeding
shelled corn to their live stock very rarely
appreciate the latge per centage that is
realize * ’ '* ~ "" - -
fattening of cattle, is of itself sufficient ev
idence of its highly nutritive- quali’les
It has even been found possible to keep
sheep and oxen npon 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 fatten
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, given each 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 np to a paste, to tha
consistency of dough. If tlie animals
show any disinclination to this food at
first, they are brought to liking it by hav
ing a ball 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, bulkmess of the food is an
"indispensable requisite to its proper diges
tion. Tbe 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. Byfurnisliing 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 wliat an am
ple resource we have as an article of food,
the immense quantity of oil cake that
maybe thus utilized in the residuum
that occurs in the manufacture of oil from
onr 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
100 to 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
tbe process of drying, so that analysis, of
itself, may lead us 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 dry
fodder; that grass, clover, etc., loose nu
tritious matter by being converted into
bay. That the thing is so in fact, appears
to have been demonstrated by a- skillful
agriculturalist well acquainted with the
art of experimenting, who fonnd that nine
pounds of green lucerne were quite equal
in foddering sheep to three and tliree-
teutbs pounds of the same fodder made
into hay, while he, at the same time, as
certained that nine pounds of green lu
cerne wonldnot, 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 I
never expect to dispense with. I have
fully tested its value, and tlie memorable
year in which the Western corn merchant
bad dominion over me, I- am at a loss to
know wliat 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 grain
I accomplished the summer’s work
successfully, with the most satisfactory
crop results
In 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
np the different animal tissues. I would
prefer risking tbe cultivation of a crop
with a diet of peas and millet, to submit
ting to the mortification and expense of
buying Western coni.
From the experiments of distinguished
agriculturists, it is satisfactorily establish
ed that there is not only economy in the'
use of green ovgr thy food, but the
risk of curing bay, on account
of the very nucertain 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 tlie health of
tlie animal, as is apparent in an earlier
shedding of liis'winter coat, and an im
provement of his spirit and an increase of
liis flesh.
And now, in connection with the subr
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 Iiay. Planters are often
unaware of the loss which is often sus
tained in tbe practice of many in this
particular. How oitqn do we see wagon
loads of bay 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 tbe 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
tlieir nutritious properties consist. Afc
soon as the flowers are formed, there is a
diversion of these properties to the ulti
mate extremeties oftlie stalks and vinesfor
the formation and completion of the re
productive functions of the plant, in the
development of its seeds. If, therefore,
the process of cutting tlie plant is defer
red until tlie seeds are fully formed, the
value of the fodder is materially impaired
by i^ loss of mineral and vegetable iqalter
tiiat is stored in tlie seeds. According to
Woiff, red clover at tbe beginning of flow
er, contains 11.26 per' cent of nutritious
matter; red clover hay cut at the begin
ning of flowering, contains 55.43 per cent,
of nutritive matter, while tbe same cut iff

the honor of delivering before the Lee
county Agricultural Society about six
years ago which I tliiuk is • peculiarly ap

“Next in importance to the proper enrich
ing of our soil Is the judicious diversifying
of its products,* making our farms self-sus
taining. Never shall we achieve and
maintain our independence of our thral
dom of debt, nntil we are independent of
the fluctuations of the 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 of the cotton planters in
the Southern States. IVe 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 t* 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 tbe man
who had his corn crib and smoke house in
tbe 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 a
good supply, of the luxuries of the dairy,
and then planted as much cotton as he
could safely venture to thoroughly culti
vate? Wliat satisfaction is there in the
■reputation of having made 200, 500, 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
tbe operations of the’ profession
al gamester. It is pernicious in its
tendency, obtunding tbe moral sense, and
often the legitimate ofispring of avarice
and greed. The present. low price of
meat and bread, we fear, will tempt many
to relax their efforts laudably commenced
for personal independence of the ginner
ies of the West, and, oblivions 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 below the point of remuneration?
Even should we be convinced that at pre
sent prices it is cheaper to buy provisions
and make cotton, wliat guar
antee have we of a continua
tion of tlie present price of cotton
or ; provisions. Let us, therefore,
heed the admonitions of the past, and
lursue the only course that is marked out
iy 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
withthe necessity for the attainment of
this object; let us utilize onr internal re
sources for the resuscitation of onr ex
hausted soil, invest onr surplus capital-in
the development of our pomological, hor
ticultural and mechanical industries, then
shall onr march be steadily onward and
upward towards aa abounding and endur
ing prosperity.

The Failure of the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad Lease.
The community are still excited to fever
heat on the sudden collapse of the sale of
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad ip the
very moment of its anticipated success.
Many indulge the hope that the Governor
will have such an array of legal acumen
and lore brought to bear npon him, aside
from tbe pronounced wishes of'the people
and tbe emphatic deliverances of the late
General Assembly,' all in favor of tlie sale,
that be will be induced to reconsider his
decision, and even yet append his signa-
nature to the warrantee title of the

Others are clamorous for an extra ses
sion of the Legislature to dispose of all the
doubtflil questions at issue. Still a third
class arc 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
riot just now accessible to any one. Of one
thing, however, we feeljquite certain, Gov

that .Western com was very
fatal to stock, I determined to use as little
of it as possible. In my Little Giaut'mill,
which ' crashed 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 corn yielded
five'pecks of cracked corn, and I found by
repeated experiments' that the same ratio
of either would prove equally nutritious,
and maintain tlie animals in equally good
condition. The expense of crushing tiie
corn was a small item, as a large quantity
could be prepared at times when tlie
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 witli that
kind of corn.

The Chinese in California. ..
Poor John Chinaman is haying a hard
time of it in California. The working
men associations arc deteranned 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, wo think, regard the law unconsti
tutional, and aver their determination to
disregard it nntil formally tested in the
courts. This action, however, has roused
tlie ire of the sand-lot Governor and Leg
islature, and a San Francisco dispatch of
the 13th inst., say3:
The Assembly to-day passed a hill 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, arid
greeted with prolonged cheers for* the hill
and for the Governor. The workingmen
will again parade to-morrow. Many
njembeis 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 olNative Arneri-
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 countiy 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 ont or deny them homes and
employment in this country ?
We sincerely trust that the presciptive
measures so subversive of true liberty,
which under the influence of such crea- 1
tures as Kearney, have been engrafted.
