Fertilizers.
Nothing is attracting the attention of
fanners more, at the present tune, than
fertilizer's. It is quite generally understood
that barn manure has a mechanical effect
on the soil which is not obtained from com
mercial fertilizer's; that the lurge quantity
of partially decayed vegetation it contains
lightens up the soil and finally adds humus
to it, but commercial fertilizer's have a tend
ency to exhaust the humus and finally hard
en the soil and make it lumpy, unless the
crops be of a character to leave a considera
ble quantity of vegetation to plow under
each year.
This is an advantage of barn manure that
is very generally understood by the farmers
who give the subject the least thought; but
there is another advantage wlrich is too ofteu
entirely overlooked, which is the chemical
action which barn manure has upon the soil
while in the process of decomposition.
When barn manure decomposes it pro
duces large quantities of carbonic acid gas,
which, when it mingles with the soil, has a
tendency to decompose the soil itself, and as
the soil is rich in plant food that is locked
up In the stones and unfavorable until sepa
rated, whatever is applied to the soil that
will make it available is so much gained. It
is true, the work of decomposition of the
soil is always going on, but so slowly that
it furnishes but a small part of what is
needed for the growth of our forced crops.
Whenever bam manure is compared with
commercial fertilizers it should always re
ceive credit for what it is capable of doing
in the way of hastening the decomposition
of the soil. As the plant food locked up in
the soil is inexhaustible whatever we can
apply that will make any of it available is
so much clear gain to the farmer. It does
not, as many believe, exhaust the soil, but
rather improves it.
While many believe the barnyard manure
the best of all fertilizers, there are some
who think there is no fertilizer to compare
with the pea vine. Mr. G. P. McLean, of
Rocky Springs, Miss., says that by a sys
tematic course in rotating in crops and
planting largely of cowpeas our lands will
soon be reclaimed and become very fertile.
Aside from its uses as a fertilizer as a food
crop it is very valuable. On good land you
can make 20 to 30 bushels per acre that is
equal to double the quantity of com, and
you can cut and save forage, in value more
than any crop of hay, and still get your
lands enriched by it. Where, then, can you
find a more valuable crop to cultivate? It
never fails to make a crop. It is the surest
crop I know of aud will pay you (as a fer
tilizer and food crop combined) better than
any other.
Mi-. L. J. Moor, of Newberae, N. C.,says:
“In the year 1885 I sowed broadcast a plot
of poor, worn out land with the ordinary
cowpea in the month of May.. I did not
cut or disturb them in any way. They lite
rally ‘covered the earth,’ and not a ray of
the summer’s sun touched the ground during
the year after they were planted. In Jan
uary, 1886, I plowed the land with a two
horse plow about ten or twelve inches deep,
thoroughly turning under the vines, stub
ble, etc. I manured the lands adjoining this
piece of which I am writing very heavily,
but on this piece I put no manure of any
kind. The result was that the piece of land
I sowed in cowpeas brought nearly a bale
of cotton to the acre, while the lands ad
joining did not do half so well. The secret
of restoring worn out lands is found in this
shading the land by sowing peas broadcast
the year precoding plowing in the vines. It
is better than all the composting; thus we
save the making of compost, the wear aud
tear of teams, etc.”
The Southern pea and cotton seed and
grass are the gold mines of the South that
may be successfully worked until “time
shall be no longer.” How long before they
will be appreciated *
The Coming Orange Crop.
The impression appears to prevail in Flor
ida that the coming orange crop will be a
short one. Reports from many different
sources are pretty much alike. These re
ports are based upon the condition of the
blossoms. The Florida IHspatch has taken
pams to gather opinions on the subject,
some of which are as follows:
D. E. Lowell, Lane Park: The orange
trees have not bloomed at all well. My
seedlings have not any on them; my navels
bloomed very full but set very little fruit.
N. Woodworth, Welaka: The prospect is
very discouraging. A few groves that were
not injured by the freeze of wiuter before
last have an average or full crop.
L. B. Skinner, Dunedin: So far as my
knowledge goes there was no general bloom
in this locality though some groves bloomed
quite full.
3®orge W. Holmes, City Point: Asa rule
Bur orange trees bloomed very full. A
much larger' quantity of the fruit has fallen
off than ordinary.
James A. Germond*Keuka: The prospects
for a good orange crop in this soctior: is very
slim indeed.
A I. Bid well, Orlando: The orange trees
in this vicinity, as a rule, have only a light
crop. Trees have made a fine growth this
spring.
Sherman Adams, Gabriella; There is a
general complaint of lack of orange bloom
throughout this whole section. The orange
trees are all looking vary finely and putting
forth a magnificent growth. Occasionally
trees are found with a fine crop of young
fruit the size of large cherries, but the num
ber is very limited compared with the whole
number of trees.
W. G. Brooks, Sorrento: I think the
orange crop of this section will lie but a
small fraction of the ordinary yield.
8. L. Reed, Pittman: The orange pros
pect is not very favorable in this locality;
there are but few bearing groves and they
ore quite young.
R. W. Pierce, Indian Springs: We have
had little orange bloom this spring, and a
very small amount of fruit set.
Dudley W. Adams, Tangerine: The crop
of oranges in this section the coming Dill
w ill be very small indeed. Not one of my
“oighbors report any bloom at all.
H. W. O. Margary, Eustis: The spring
'’loom in this region is almost nil, but many
trees are now showing signs of bloom and
the appearance also indicates a Jmiebloom,
a thing that occurred here, as I am informed,
aeveral years ago.
James A. Harris, Citra: I have made pev
*ollol observation in many of the grove* in
"‘is section and made inquiries of trust
worthy, reliable parties about other gr oves,
* 0(l 1 feel satisfied that the Orange I4ke
•action will not produce over one-half as
many oranges as were produced in this sec
tion last season.
D. 1,. Pharos, Yalaha: The orange trees
took on a very little bloom, now and then a
tree full, then a good many with but few,
and many with none. I am sure that on
the south side of our lake there is not one
fourth of a crop of oranges on the trees and
lately they have been falling.
George H. McKee, Leesburg: Speaking in
general terms of this vicinity, the bloom
upon the orange trees was very light and
the set of fruit is correspondingly light.
F. J. Vogel, Maitland: The orange trees
have bloomed but very sparingly and there
is but very little fruit set. A great many
have falleu off, so that the prospect for the
present crop is not very encouraging.
P. P. Bishop, Citra: The blossoming in
our grove was irregular, in some parts quite
heavy, and in others very light. My pres
ent opinion is that we shall have fewer
oranges by 25 per cent than we had in the
seasons of 1880-7.
Change of Seed.
Major Poor, in the A merican Cultivator,
says that there is no better time than the
present to discuss the question of the change
of seed. Wheat, oats, com and potatoes
need frequently change of location more
than change to another kind of seed. Grain
grown in the cold atmosphere and clay soil
of Canada, Northern New York or Vermont
when taken to the wanner soils and atinos
phex-e of the Middle or Western States pro
duces far more luxuriantly than seed sown
in the same soil for a dozen years.
It is the general remark that wheat is fall
ing and yielding less to the acre every year,
even where new aud virgin soil is used.
Change of location is what is wautod.
Nor is it necessary that the change should
be so great in distance. The transfer of
seed a few miles from one variety of soil to
another often makes a very perceptible dif
ference. It may not be necessary for the
farmer to travel so far but that he may re
turn home at night mid make an exchange
with a farmer, and both be equally accom
modated, In some cases it may be done by
letter and the transfer be made by railroads.
Tenor forty cents additional for freight
will bo more than twice made up in the in
creased yield. But generally the increase
in quantity is not the main advantage. The
improvement in quality more generally at
tends change of seed. If this matter is at
tended to in time it can be done well and
economically.
There is not enough attention paid to the
question of seed corn. This is the great
staple crop of the country. The difference
each year in the quality of seed reaches in
the result high in the millions. There is
little doubt that the average could be raised
ten bushels if this question was as thor
oughly canvassed by all farmers as it should
be. An advance of ten bushels per acre
would make a difference in the crop of
25,000,000 bushels. All around us we see
corn planted that raises only small and
dwarfed ears, and is persisted in for the
reason that it always gets ripe. In short
seasons like ours that is an important con
sideration.
But the energy of farmers, the attention
of agricultural societies and of scientific
experimenters should produce a larger
quality of early com. Too little attention
in this way has been paid to so important a
crop as com. Often the large variety of
warmer latitudes is brought here, but an
early frost checks its career. No sufficient
effort has been made to produce early corn
of these large varieties.
More pains and twice the scientific skill
are applied to the efforts to get a potato
earlier than the rose or superior to the peach
blow. But in value the potato crop is only
a mite in comparison with com. Mind is
equal to this question if it be directed in that
channel.
Horse Radish.
Horse radish is now a profitable crop. It
used to be manipulated solely in connection
with roast beef. Now it is used with many
other articles of food. Tons of it are sold
in New York city every year.
Many growers have also learned the art
of grinding aud bottling it with white cider
vinegar, which keeps it a nice white color,
and preserves that peculiar pungency which
connoisseurs enjoy.
The culture of the root is simple, demand
ing a deep, mellow aud very'rich soil, so
that the roots may be grown in one year
large enough for sale, and then plowed out
so as to clean the land from the countless
myriads of sprouts which otherwise would
cover the surface the second year
The yield of horse radish on good land and
in good seasons is sometimes four to six tons
per acre, but often it will be less than half
these amounts under less favorable circum
stapees. It is a crop that makes most of its
growth in the latter part of the season,
when it often suffers by drought; it should
therefore have the best of land, or such as
can be irrigated in case of need. It is idle
to attempt growing it upon poor or stony
land. Even at the low wholesale price of
about five cents per pound, at which it has
sold lately, it is a fairly profitable crop and
would be grown more largely were it not for
the difficulty of eradicating it when once in
the land. It is about as hal'd to kill as couch
grass or Canada thistles, but will yield to
thorough tillage, such as must be given to
cabbages and celery, crop# which are usually
made to follow horse radish in rotation.
Upon farms where such crops cannot be
made to follow it would proven troublesome
weed.
A Staple Plant.
No garden, says the Philadelphia Record,
Is complete without the tomato. It is used
now in many different ways and is a superb
vegetable, having almost as many admirers
in its raw state as when cooked. While it
is a sure bearer and does well undor adver
sity, yet the best fruit is obtained when it
is treated somewhat like a vine or tree. It
is a gross feeder and requires plenty of
nourishment. The ground should be well
prepared and manured, and the young plant
well fertilized, after it begins to grow,
around the base of the trunk. It may bo
pruned aud trained to stakes, and ns it will
ulso grow from cuttings it also quickly pro
vides itself with an abundance of roots.
When putting out the young plants let the
roots go ill deep. If only the tops of the
plants be left out of the ground it will lie
much lietter than shallow setting. Tie the
vines to stakes, cut out the laterals if they
be too thick and keep a close watch for the
large green worm.
Farm and ritock Notes.
In filling varuncler In blackberry patches
put the roots down as deep in the ground as
possible, as the season is rather late.
The ditches along the sides of the roads
should be opened now, in expectation of a
busy season and the prevalence of spring
rains.
Laying a front yard with turf will nearly
always result in a stand of grass, even after
repeated seeding* have been tried without
success.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MAY 16, 1887.
Even on the best regulated farms stock
may be injured. Hence, old wells, half-hid
den ditches and such like should be covered
or filled up.
AVire netting, two-inch mesh, is now
cheaper than boards as material for fencing
poultry, and can be more easily arranged
and with less labor.
There are over fifty poultry shows in the
United States that annually give exhibi
tions. They have been instrumental in
greatly advancing the poultry interests.
Use no stable manure on young peach
trees. A mixture of some kind of mineral
fertilizers is better. Experiments have
shown marl to be excellent for poach trees,
A fresh egg will sink when placed in wa
ter, and when boiled the skin will not peel
off like that of an orauge, as in the case
with those not strictly fresh. Stale eggs
are glassy and very smooth, while fresh eggs
have a peculiar roughness.
English mutton is largely fattened on tur
nips, and yet it maintains its superiority.
AVnije not themselves very nutritious, yet
turnips promote good digestion, ou which
rapid fattening and the good juicy quality
of the meat largely depends.
The consumption of food by dairy stock is
paid back in a three-fold way—milk, growth
of stock and the value of the manure—which
last often balances the first cost of the food.
It is in that respect that stock-raising is su
perior to exclusive grain-growing.
A prominent nurseryman says that nur
sery practices in poach propagation and cul
ture nave weakened the vital power of the
tree, which is unable to resist as depressing
influences as formerly, when the trees from
seeding grew well aud lived to old age.
Large trees can be moved and transplant
ed, thus taking advantage of several years
growth, provided all of the roots and some
of the adhering earth be carried with them.
The place in which they are to be deposited
should also be specially prepared for their
reception.
Those who live on land where there is no
gravel or sand should haul a load and spread
it about the poultry yards. The fowls will
enjoy it as much as* though it were some
thing good to eat, and in most cases it will
do them more good. Don’t forget this, as
the chickens emit talk, and don’t know how
to ask for what they want.
No farmer can do himself or his family a
better service this spring than by planting a
garden in which he may have some raspber
ries, blackberries, strawberries and cur
rants, and, as well, lots of vegetables. Plant
everytl so that a horse cultivator may
be used, riant plenty, till well ;uid raise
lots of good food for the family.
To make successful farmers of the coming
generation the young should be taught the
theories of farming in sehools.as an advanced
study, which should include the chemistry of
foods, a partial knowledge of diseases of ani
mals and the charactertistics of stock. Such
will be the state of affairs in the distant fu
ture, as farming, like everything else, is
progressive.
A large yield of butter without a due pro
portion of albuminoids being furnished in
the food is out of the question. Butter can
not be obtained from poor food. If a cer
tain amount of corn fodder must be fed it
must be combined with strongly nitroge
nous food. Nothing is better for milk cows
than good timothy hay. Linseed meal in
proper proportions, is a good nitrogenous
Sometimes the little Jersey cow is a good
milker. “Fawn of St. Lambert,” who was
3 years and 9 months old at the beginning of
her test, produced as much as 10,101 1-2
pounds (about 5,000 quarts of milk in twelve
months), giving as high as 54 pounds per day
at some periods. She also produced nearly
572 pounds of butter for the year, her high
est record for one week being 15 pounds and
5 1-2 ounces.
Those who look upon farming only as an
ordinary occupation are mistaken. As
Professor Wrignton remarks, agriculture is
a born science. It is full of botany, zoolo
gy, geology and entomology. It is full of
chemistry, from the soil to the growing
plant, the ripening seed and the animal lifo
which is the crowning outcome. There is
no more varied pursuit, and most others are
narrow in their scojie in comparison with it.
Prof. S. A. Knapp, of Lake Charles, La.,
says that the grasses of the Southern States
are more nutritious than those in the North
ern States. Ido not mean to say that the
grasses grown here in the South if trans
planted to Northern soil would lie more nu
tritious than those grasses now grown at the
North, like your red clover, timothy, etc.,
but that the grasses including all legumi
nous plants which thrive in the South, pas
palum, Japan clover, crab grass and the
like, bear the same relation to soil, w th re
ference to their nutritive and fertilizing
qualities, as does the red clover lor instance
of the North: but are moie nutritious than
the corresponding plants that thrive at the
North; more nutritious than the red clover
which thrives in the Northern States.
Popular Science.
Dr. Martineau, a French physician, claims
that carbonate of litlna and arseniate of so

other drinks is an almost infallible cure for
diabetes.
It is a well-known fact among railroad
men that on railroads running north aud

It may be uew to many that the word
“sarcophagus" means literally flesh-eater,
and was applied to coffins from the peculiar
kind of stone of which the ancient Roman
coffins were made. This stone is supposed
to have Leon a species of limestone, and it
is claimed had tne property necessary en
tirely to consume a !>ody, with the excep

The invention of anew optical glass is
said to lie creating a sensation in trie Ger

its great refractory power, promises to lie 01

much aa it will admit of the production of
lenses of short focal width, such as it lias
been hitherto impossible to obtain. For mi
croscopic photography it will bo of the

To build a chimney that will draw forever

The Real Estate Met
The transactions in realty have been quite
numerous thus far this mouth. The sales at
lots by the city at the Court House on the
8d inst. have evidenced the confidence that
our people have in the future of the city.
Judicious Advertising and a
Good Demand
Have resulted in the lessening of my offer
ings very materially.
Yet I have a few pieces of improve prop
erty worthy the attention of those desiring
homes.
Choice Lots
Are certainly very scarce. The western
side seems to be in favor now.
Quite an inquiry has started up for lots
west of Whitaker street.
Iligli Grround
Seems to be in demand, and the huilding
public naturally prefer the highest that can
be found.
Tho ground rises from Whitaker street
westward. While there are but few left in
that section for sale, I have on my list a few
on Hall and Gwinnett streets, which are
good.
I have also one or two good lots on Lorcb
street (next north of Hall, between Jefferson
and Montgomery) which I can recommend
to those who want to get in a good neighbor
hixxi, but who do not care to pay fancy
prices.
On West Broad and Gwinnett I have some
really excellent lots, which I am able to sell
quite low for cash.
West of West Broad
There are a few fine building sites worthy
the attention of speculators, or permanent
investors. I am able to give easy terms upon
these lots, and advise those who wish to
secure sites for future operations to send in
for a plat from which to make their selec
tions.
