The Garden.
Everv farmer should give some attention
to a garden. Many farmers refuse to take
the trouble to make a garden and the con
sequence is their families have lo do without
vegetables. Home money spent on a garden
i* not thrown away.
The golden should be divided into two
portions —one to Vie worked by horse culti
vator and plow, the other by shovel, hoe nnd
hand weeding. The portion to lie tilled by
hand should be the befet land, free from
stones, a deep, strong loam, and provided
with means for watering in dry weather.
The portion to be tilled by horses may be
poorer and will not so frequently need wa
tering, but if intended for growing celery,
strawberries and cauliflowers, will need
water to make these crops sure. The manure
for the whole garden is best applied by
spreading and plowing under; for peas,
beans, corn and potatoes about eight cords
per acre will be enough if of good quality.
For early cabbages,onions,cauliflowers and
celery, about double this amount wili bo
little enough, and if the land has been neg
lected previously it will not grow a good
crop of either onions, celery, lettuce or
greens until the second or third year of each
manuring. By that time the manure gets
thoroughly mixed with the soil and enriches
its whole mass as far as the roots go. This
cannot be done with poor land in one sea
son.
The land planted with early peas and
beans should be made to carry a late crop of
squashes or cucumber pickles.
Squashes and cucumbers may also be
grown after a crop of dandelions, spinach
or other early greens, and will succeed bet
ter than celery as a late crop if the land is
at ail subject to suffer from drought. That
portion of the garden planted in sweet corn
may be made to carry turnips or spinach ns
a second crop.
Every one in making his plans for gar
dening will be guided largely by the de
mands of his family or the market he means
to supply, as well as by the character of his
soil; and if he wishes to plant any new kind
with which he is not familiar he will do well
to consult some experienced gardener before
undertaking it, except as an expel intent.
There are many details about the growing
of most crops ecci'd and to success which are
too numerous to ume here, but which will
suggest tbenufi'es readily to a practical
man when consul**:*..
. Spread of the Hog Cholera.
Every once in a while the announcement
Is made in some'part of the South of the ex
istence of hog cholera. People whose hogs
are afflirted with the disease do not take the
trouble they ought to prevent its spread.
To some it is a mystery how the disease
spreads so rapidly. Farmers who pay care :
ful attention to the sanitary condition of
their swine are not exempt from this dis
ease, and it has been impossible to satisfac
torily explain the sudden appearance of so
called hog cholera ir. herds of swine appar
< ently healthy.
A gentleman writing the State Depart
ment of Agriculture advanced a theory that
the disease is spread over the country by
crows and other carrion eating birds. It is
well known that swine will eat the flesh of
hogs that have died with disease, and the
statement of Mr. Edwards, the writer of the
following letter, is worthy of some conside
ration. He writes as follows:
“A farmer of my acquaintance in this lo
cality informed me yesterday that while
picking corn at his home a few days ago be
found three fragments of swine flesh in his
corn field on the ground. One fragment
was about the size of a man’s thumb; the
other two pieces were smaller. The appear
ance of the three fragments indicated that
they had been torn—not cut —from the car
cass of a hog. Now, as hog cholera prevails
to an alarming extent in this neighborhood,
and crows abound in this locality, and the
said fanner noticed crows in their flight
crossing and recrossing over his field during
die day he found the fragments of flesh, he
is quite confident that these pieces of fresh
swine flesh were dropped by the crows.
It would seem from the above that it is
very inqiortaut that all hogs dying from
disease should lie burned or buried immedi
ately in order to prevent the ilisease from
ring carried from one fariA to another by
crow3 and other flesh-eating birds.”
The foregoing statement would seem to
demonstrate that it is possible and highly
piobable that the dread scourge of hog
cholera is frequently carried from place to
place by birds of prey.
ibe Need of Manure for Vegetables.
The veteran Peter Henderson, who is an
excellent authority with respect to manures,
pai ticularly as to their application to garden
icgetables, says: “It is a grave blunder to
grow vegetable crojw without the use of
manures of the various kinds. I never yet
■ soils of any kind that had borne a crop
’ vegetables that would produce as good u
,p th,: ‘ next season without the use of ma
rire, no matter how rich the soil mav be

employment to one, two or three hundred

to erect a hotel that w ould accommodate the
same number of persons and have it idle
three-fourths of the year.”
There is no doubt in the world that ramie
and jute can be produced iu the South to the
satisfaction of everybody. Ramie is a very
prolific plant. The Southern Trade Gazette
says: “Ramie is a perennial piant of the
nettle tribe; though kindred to hemp it is
far superior to it in value; it grows like
willow and sends forth numerous stocks sev
eral times a year, the roots rUu deep into the
ground and the stocks reach a height of from
five to six feet, according to soil and climate;
it draws its nutrition from the air as much
as from the ground. The annual yield is
from two to three crops.
“Ramie prospers iu a temperate climate
and requires a light, porous soil, free from
swampy subsoil, which might cause the jot
ting of the loots.”
What is wanted is not the fibre plants but
a machine that will prepare the ramie oi'
jute for market with sufficient dispatch to
make it profitable. Machines and machines
have been-invented and somehow or other
they do not prove to be successful. Let us
have the machine and the South would soou
have a new' and very great source of wealth.
Arbor Day.
There does not seem to be a full apprecia
tion in Georgia of the importance of Arbor
Day. The Governor has set opart such a
day, but the General Assembly has done
nothing in regal'd to it. The State Agricul
tural Society should also interest itself in
the occasion, because the fanners may be of
the very greatest assistance in repairing the
injury done by the destruction of the forests.
Speaking of Arbor Day the Philadelphia
Record says that its observance is something
more than a matter of enjoyment. That
which many would overlook becomes the
work of each and all, the designated time
being un invitation and notice to all to assist.
In this State some of the varieties of trees
which were formerly well known have in
some counties been cut down so completely
that young persons often have no knowledge
of them. Arbor Day is a fitting time for
introducing new varieties of trees, not only
for shade or fuel but for fruit. One advan
tage is that a better system of forestry will
be inaugurated. Varieties best suited for
particular localities will be selected, while
new forests, growing from seeds or very
young plants, may even be regularly ar
ranged and cultivated. Forest trees are of
slow growth, but with the growing scai-city
of timber the farmer who devotes a space
to forest trees will leave his children a rich
legacy in the future.
On last Arbor Day the children of some of
the schools were induced to take an interest
in the planting of freer. It is to be hoped
that the interest among them will be more
general when the day recurs. The Agricul
tural Society may build wiser than it knows
by also becoming interested. It matters not
whether the trees Ire planted on the road
side, in the vacant places of forests or in the
orchards; the thing to do is to plant their.
Some of thfe Virtues of an Egg.
There are comparatively few people who
have an idea of the number of uses to which
an egg may be put. A writer in Woman
at Work calls attention to them. For burns
and scalds nothing is more soothing than the
white of an egg, which may be poured over
the wound It is softer as a varnish for a
bum than collodion, and being always at
hand can be applied. It is also more cooling
than the sweet oil and cotton seed, which
was formerly supposed to be the surest air
plication to allay smarting pain. It is the
contact with the air which gives the extreme
discomfort experienced from the ordinary
accident of this kind, and anything that
excludes the air and prevents inflammation
is the thing to be once applied. The egg is
considered one of the best of remedies for
dysentery. Beaten yp slightly, with or
without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it
tends, by its emollient qualities, to lessen the
inflammation of the stomach nnd intestines,
and by forming a transient coating on these
organs, to enable nature to resume her
healthful sway over a diseased body. Two,
or at most thi'ee, eggs per day would be all
that is required in oidinary cases; and since
egg is not merely medicine but food as well,
the lighter the diet otherwise and the quieter
the patient is kept, the jnore and rapid the
recovery.
Lespedeza.
The Mew Orleans Picayune says that it is
well known that sedge grass is in many places
in the South giving way to lespedeza, with
the prospect of the lal ter having full posses
sion in a few years. Lespedeza is an annual
and depends upon its seeds for the next crop.
These seeds drop ill the fall and winter, take
root in the soil and germinate early in the
spring, sometimes in mild winters in Jan
uary and Fbbniary, and their roots gradu
ally penetrate the soil as warm weather pro
gresses.
By burning the dead sedge grass in March,
or earlier, the seeds are often destroyed and
the young roots also that are confined to the
surface of the ground. If the sedge grass
is burnt at all it should be done in the sum
mer or fall after the lesi>odeza has become
well rooted and after a recent rain and when
the grass roots are wet. When well estab
lished in the summer cattle may nip lespe
deza even with the surface of the soil, and
it will immediately start again for anew
growth.
Farm nnd Stock Notoa.
Every farmer should ;tissues a good chest
of tools and a well-arranged workshop. He
can easily save the cost or both within a few
years.
It has been shown by ex|>erienee that a pig
digests a larger jicrcentagQ of grain, (sni

cow or sheep.
Thin out instead of shortening in a tree
when you transplant it. It is a mistaken
notion tlmt it is the proper way to cut olf
the ends of ull the limbs.
Not only does the linden tree produce
honey in great abundance, but its quality is
regarded by many a* equal, if not superior,
to that yielded by white clover.
When you wash young trees use a cloth.
On old ones a stiff serub-nrush is better, as
it will dislodge insects that linve taken up
quarters beneath tile siulm of hark.
It i* now claimed that, if turnips lie grown
thickly late in the summer and left in the
ground during winter they make an excel
lent fertiliser when turned under in the
spring.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. APRIL IS, 1887.
If you contemplate cultivating the soil in
your orchard, anil have not already pre
pared for it, have some short whimetrees
made with hooks ou the back near the ends
of the whiffietrees to prevent barking the
trees.
It is always best to milk rapidly, so as to
get the milk out of the stable as soon as pos
sible, in order to prevent the absorption of
gases by the milk, as the cooler it becomes
the more readily the milk is affected by
odors.
Although salt and soda are said to benefit
asparagus, analyses show that a ton of as
paragus takes from the soil 2.ti pounds phos
phoric acid, 0 pounds potash aud 7.4 pounds
nitrogen, aud there is scarcely a trace of
soda m its composition.
The quince is a slow grower. For this
reason it is nil advantage to buy trees well
grown, say four or five feet higher, rather
than mere slips. Such trees will come in
bearing in three or four years and prove
cheaper in the end than smaller trees at a
lower price.
A Western horticulturist advises pruning
rose bushes. He says that as the rose blos
soms only on the young shootout’ the current
year's growth (as with the jx'ipe) tho last
year’s wood should becutawaviu thespring.
Each bud left will then make a blossom
bearing branch.
The purchase of linseed and cottonseed
meal for stock always giv&s a profit. If the
expense be only returned in the product sold
there is, however, a greater value to the
manure, and hence, while the profit may not
be immediately secured, the succeeding
year's crops will be larger.
The American Cultivator remarks that as
trees are generally scraped more harm than
good results from the operation. Great care
should always be taken not to disturb or in
jure the lower and living part of the bark.
A common mason’s trowel or a short-han
dled hoc makes a good scraper.
Every tree in the orchard should bo ex
amined for insects, egg nests, etc., and after
the leaves shall have stalled the trees should
be sprayed with a solution of London purple.
Borers work in nearly all kinds of tires and
a diligent search should be mode for their
holes as soon as they shall set to work.
In planting apple seeds to get a vigorous
growth the first year is important, as on
that the number of roots to tie grafted de
pends. The seedsshould lie planted early on
well-manured ground and tusfree from weeds
as possible. The young plants require nearly
as close care and as much hand-weeding as
onions.
To dig up a fruit tree bv cutting a circle
with a spade, half a foot iu diameter, cuts
off more than nine-tenths of the roots; and
to spade a little circle about a young tree
not one-quarter as far as the roots extend
and call it cultivation is like Falstaff's men
claiming spurs and shirt collars for a com
plete suit.
Regarding the use of insect powder Prof.
Hilgard, of the University of California,
states that although the tent caterpillars
were not affected by dry powdered buhach
when it was blown upon them, yet if they
received a sprinkling of a mixture of one
pound of buhach in fifty gallons of water
they quickly perished. Tie advises its use
in green-houses or other places infested by
vermin, as it is harmless to plants, birds ana
animals.
The value of ensilage is greater than its
most sanguine friends anticipated. A well
known breeder at Franklin, Pa., states that
he can keep as many cows on twenty-seven
arires with the use ot ensilage as he formerly
did with 127 acres in meadow. He thinks
ensilage very wholesome and the cost per
cow is only sl2 per year. Such evidence
solves all problems and should remove all
doubts. Ensilage is destined at some time
to be an indispensable article on all farms.
Enough attention is seldom paid to sur
roundings in fattening stock. Good feed,
although of first importance, is not all that
is required. Regularity of feeding has much
to do with easy fattening. Cattle housed
and kept warn will thrive and fatten rap
idly; but, at the same time, they need exer
cise and should be let but daily for it. Fat
tening hogs ought to be kept, from dampness
and wet. The lied especially should lie dry
and warm. Watering regularly will also
greatly aid in fattening stock. It is true
that stock will fatten under neglect, but at
an expense of more feed and at a greater
loss than if proper care and attention are
used. Sheep w-ed more ventilation in their
sheds or barns than otiier stock, for if kept
in poorly ventilated quarters thev are apt to
contract colds and diseases, but they require
shelter from all storms.

In one of the French schools there is a
natural magnet which is capable of lifting
four times its own weight.
Paper pulp from peat is anew idea. The
fibrous peat is dried on trays and then treat

Luminous paint has been applied to the

A scientific novelty is a lens which mag
