AGRICULTURAL department^ ~ Vhe'Field, Farm and Garden. ■\Ve solicit articles for this department. The namo of the writer should accompany the letter or article, not necessarily for pub vaticn, but ns evidence of good faith. 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 ‘ ." x 111 “ **’• An illustration of this came der my observation last, season.

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 vel ting it Into animal increase, than a steer, 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. Popular Science. 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 ed so as to separate the clean fibre from which the pulp is made. Dr. Maegowan suggests the irttroductiou of Chinese straw shoes into the nursery for the use of children on account, of their light ness aud the freedom they allow the feet. Luminous paint has been applied to the sights of rifles to enable them to be used in the dark. Tho method of using consists in fixing a luminous head over the two sights of the xveepon. To t ake spots of paint off wood lay a thick coating of lime and soda mixed together over it, letting it stay twenty-four hours, then wash off with warm water and the spot will have disappeared. M. A. Bulie, of Besancon, France, has ef fected the direct electro-chemical deposition of palladium on iron, stcei and other metals. Tho dejsisition is made directly and of any required thickness, and constitutes the last process in finishing the manufactured arti cle. A manufacturer of Roubaig lias invented a very curious application of electricity to looms. He adopt -an indicator wiiieh strikes when a thread brakes and thus saves the weaver from the close attention to the quickly-moving threads which is so injuri ous to the sight. A scientific novelty is a lens which mag nifies, yet is perfectly flat, on both sides. It, is made at, Jena by the manufacture of Prof. Ablie’s new ojitical glass. The lens consists of a single disc whose density varies so that its refractive power decreases regularly froifS the surface inward. M. Carles, I’rufesseur Agrcgent the Fac ulty ile Medocine of Bordeaux, lias recently reaffirmed that the cod liver oil which is lightest iu color is the purest anil the most easily assimilated. The deep color fre quently s’ en in cod liver oil is owing to more or leas putrefied livers having been used. There nre three wfek* to the lump of a man's life: brain, bkxxl and breath.
