The name of the writer should accompany the letter or article, not necessarily for pub lication, but as an evidence of good faith. 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 da in aerated water used to the exclusion of other drinks is an almost infallible cure for diabetes. It is a well-known fact among railroad men that on railroads running north aud south the west rails wear out the faster; that five rails will wear out ou the west side of the track while three are doing service on the east side. The recent experiments of an Italian phys icist have shown that gases cannot be forced through glass bv any available me chanical, chemical or electrical moans. Even a pressure of 1890 pounds to the square inch had no effect. The following mixture is riven by a cor respondent in Vlndustrie Textile as suita ble for waterproofing all kinds of woven fabrics: Linseed oil 77.0; acetate of lead, 1.845; litharge, 10.0: amber earth, 0.4; vege table wax. LS; soap powder, 1.2; Manilla gum, 0.7; lainphlaek, 4.0; essence of turpen tine, 2.0; India rubber varnish. 1.555; total, 100. 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 tion of the teeth, iu forty days; hence the naniA. The invention of anew optical glass is said to lie creating a sensation in trie Ger man scientific world. The glass, owing to its great refractory power, promises to lie 01 marked influence in practical optics, inas 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 greatest importance. The Guide Scientiflqne gives the follow ing method of making artificial whetstones: Gelatine of good quality in its own weight of water, the operation being conducted in a darkroom. To the solution 1 1-2 per cent, of bichromate of potash is added, which has lioen previously dissolved In a little water. A quantity of wry fine emery, joal to nine times th" weight of the gelatine, Is in timately mi xod with the gelatine solution. Pulverized flint may lie substituted for eme ry. The mass is molded into any desired shape and is then consolidated by heavy pressure. It is dried by exposure to strong sunlight for several hours. To build a chimney that will draw forever and not fill up with soot, you must build it large enough, sixteen inches square; use good brick and clay instead of lime up to the comb; piaster it’insldo with clay mixed with salt; for chimney tops u< tne very best of brick, wet them and lay them in ce ment mortar. The chimney should not lie built tight to beam or rafters, as most chim neys settle a little, and if too tight between the bourns and rafters, there is where the crack in your chimney comes and where the most of too fires originate, as the chimney somotinire got* rod not. A chimney built from collar up 1* better and less dangerous than one hung on the wall. Don’t get your stoveplve hole so done to the ceiling, eight een inches from it. CHEAP ADVERTISING.

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. C. H.
