AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. The Field, Farm and Garden. We solicit articles for this department. The name of the writer should accompany he letter or article, not necessarily for pub ication, but as an evidence of good faith. Economy in Labor. The Philadelphia Record , whose editor is ( he owner of some of the finest stock in the •ountry, always has some good points on igricnlture. Speaking about labor on a 'arm and the foolish practice of attempting cultivate more land than can be cultivated jroperly, it says that work improperly done s sometimes a waste of labor, and on the farm there is often too much work done for the results gained. Nor is such work mistakenly performed always, for often it s premeditated and in defiance of experi tnre and of reason. It is well known that 111 plants require a sufficient amount of food, beat and moisture to enable them to reach maturity and yield to their fullest capacity, Jn d where the ground is annually devoted to crops the great difficulty is to retain its fertility and secure from it all that should be derived under the best possible conditions, finy diminution or deterioration of the plant food in the soil must be resupplied in some ihape, and the smaller the amount of plant Food possessed by the farmer, and the greater the area to be supplied, the more the diffi ;ulty of recuperating the soil will bo in creased. In the face of this fact farmers do not always take into consideration the pro priety of curtailing the area to be culti vated, by which means they would be ena bled to supply a greater proportion of plant food to a limited space, and at the same time save a vast amount of labor. It is not as Economical to grow thirty bushels of wheat bn two acres as it is to produce twenty bushels on one acre, for, while in the ore base the farmer secures an extra ten bushels by reason of cultivating more land for that purpose, yet he has been compelled to per form twice as much work and to spread his manure over double the area of surface. There should be no more land put under cul tivation than can be properly manured or fertilized,as it is much better to have one acre of strong, vigorous plants than two acres of plants improperly provided for, while it re quires just as much cultivation, seeding, harvesting and hauling for the inferior crop is for the better one. Nor does the influ fnce end with a single crop. Land that has been bountifully fed will be in a better con dition for a succeeding crop, while that which has been overtaxed will gradually lose fertility and entail an additional ex pense every year. It is an old rule that proper held culture should be the same as for a gar den spot, which is to v.se plenty of manure >n small areas, work the soil to a fine con dition for the seed, keep down the grass and weeds, and make every inch of space pro duce to its fullest capacity, instead of wast ing time, labor and manure over large fields that cannot be properly cultivated, Covering the Seed. Mr. N. J. Shepherd, of Missouri, writing to the Country Home on the above subject, says: My plan is to always cover seed of all kinds, whether large or small; of course very fine seed needs only a light covering, and the soil should be very fine, yet I always con sidered that I secured better plants by mark ing out a shallow fujrow and sowing the seed in it and then covering lightly. Coarse, heavy seed need and require deeper cover ing than fine, light seed. While no rule can be given that under all circumstances ami conditions may be considered the best, yet generally you can be safe if you will regu late the depth of planting and covering by the size of the seed. For fine seed like celery h shallow mark is made and the seed sprin kled in it as evenly as possible, and then the soil sprinkled over the seed and lightly pressed down. When seed are planted very near the surface, as a rule, the surest plan to secure a good germination is to press the soil down upon the seed after covering, and especially if the soil is warm and inclined to dry out. A certain degree of moisture and contact with the soil is essential to se cure a good germination, and I find that these conditions can be best secured by tak ing pains to cover lightly Generally early planted seeds should he covered lighter than if the same seeds wore planted three or four weeks later, after tho soil becomes warmer and often dryer; heat is almost as essential as moisture—that is, to a certain extent, and if planted too deep when the soil is wet and cold they will either lie there until the soil is sufficiently warm to induce germination or they will rot. I never could see any good economy in having the seed lie in the ground under unfavorable conditions and failing to germinate, even though they do finally. I sever considered that the plants were as vigorous as if an earlier germination had been secured. For this reason, I find it the safest and best to make all the conditions as favorable for germination as possible. Beekeeping in Florida. Florida, says the Southern FaYiner, is rapidly coming to the front in the great in dustry of beekeeping. It has been but a few yeais since much was saul concerning w•‘■keeping in Florida. Now it is a grand excitement aijd a rush. A great many from the Northern States have sold their homes and gone to Florida for the purpose of en- Kaging in bee culture, and as a rule arc making a success of it. With its beautiful lunate flowers are blooming ami honey can *'** gathered almost in every month in the year. Brands of orange-blossom honey are nmv being shipped to our Northern cities as tlio productsof Florida. In many instances Northern apiarists now ship their bees to Florida for safe wintering. Apiarists there receive them cm shares, taking for their care Mid at tention the increase and surplus honey stored through the winter and ship back the same number of colonies received in the fall. One great advantage the Florida apiarist has over those in the North is that he can raise queens all winter and ship North to supply the early spring trade, which could mno otherwise lie supplied. The great ma jority of the queens sold in the North in the months of Maroh, April and May are raised ■u the Southern States. Upland Rice. Iho Florida Dixymtch say* that upland '*■' is one of the crops which claims atten ,; on in that State at this period of tho year, and tile success which has attended nil well directed efforts in the culture of this valua ‘ “ (, ercal should stimulate Florida inland Pouters to put in largo fluids the present *oson. It may be sown until the 10th or "h of June with reasonable assurance <>f u K"ol crop. Most cultivators plant in shal drills %bout forty inches ajtart, scatter •ngth iseed somewhat thinly in the drill. : '"rs layoff tho land in rows three feet •Fnt . making low, flat ridges or beds, and upping live or bix araurs uLmhxl in lulls or * r f- at Wdisinn,,, <* ku inchi apart, ibcfi beds. Cover i%hjr *rd keep the crop worked and clean until the heads begin to show, when all working maybe stopped.' Before planting, in all cases the laud should l>e broken up deep and harrowed fine. Lay your rows off as straight and “true ’ as possible to facilitate working. Yengan rice is highly recommended as one of the very finest varieties for upland cul ture. A New Crop for Florida. Dr. W. Winthrop has created some ex citement in Florida by a series of articles in Florida papers on" opium growing. He has had some experience in growing opium in India and he thinks it can bo cultivated suc cessfully and profitably in Florida. In one of his articles he says: “The land should be prepared as for any other crop; fine preparation will yield in creased return as in any other plant. The kind of seed to sow for opium is the white P°PPy, papaver aomniferum. It can be sown in dr ills or broadcast. In small quan tities of an acre or two in poor new land the drill is preferable as being more easily at tended to. In Florida it can be made grow during the entire year. The superabundance of sunshine in Florida during the greater part of the year gives the State its advan tages oyer other States. Any person suffi ciently interested can see now, this month “I May, growing and in full bloonftlie finest poppys at Cape Canaveral. These plants spring up spontaneously from seed sown many years ago, and ho care what ever taken to preserve them. I pronounce them, as an expert, the finest in the world. They grow on the edge of the scrub, close to the sandy beach in land that any one will tell you is not worth 35c. an acre for any thing else.” “Sixteen plants yield, by my process, one ounce of gum opium worth £4 per pound. Anybody can see how much ground sixteen poppy plants will cover, and from that make their own calculation how many an acre will contain. * * * Opium raising de pends upon the cost of abstracting the gum from the plant. Heretofore this lias been done by incising the capsule ;uid scraping off the exuded juice. This is only three sixteenths of the actual amount of opium tlie plant contains, the rest being lost and the labor of collecting it is very great and so costly as to forbid its use in America. By my process I not only extract all the opium iu the capsule, but obtain it from the entire plant, and at a cost 100 per cent, cheaper than even the Hindoo ia borer at 10c. per day can collect his 3-lOths.’’ The editor of the Florida Dispatch, com menting on Dr. Winthrop’s opium growing scheme, says: “Dr. Winthrop claims that SI,OOO worth of opium can lie grown from a single acre at very little cost. All very plausible, but, unfortunately for the faith of the incredulous, the author makes the whole thing hinge on his process. He admits that according to the established methods now in use in opium growing countries, the re turns would be but 3-ltlths of the estimate he makes or $lB7 50 per acre, from which expenses must be deducted; no great bo nanza in this. But by tho use of “my pro cess” 13-10ths more gum can be extracted at 100 pier cent, less cost. Singular that a man possessing a secret that would revolutionize the opium world should leave the countries where opium is produced and select a State that has never grown an ounce of the gum wherein to demonstrate the wonders of his process. Ten dollars is the modest price which this gentleman asks for full informa tion on opium growing including the secret of his wonderful process. Remarkable that information of such priceless value to the opium magnates of the Fast should be given away for a mere trifle in this to them out of-the-way corner of the globe. “The thing has a suspicious look on the surface and we advise our readers to ‘go slow’on opium.” Good Advice. Prof. H. C. Wite, of the State University, writes: “If I had an audience of the farmers of the South, and had one minute in which to give them the best advice my observation has suggested, I should say: ‘"Restrict your acreage. Cultivate small bodies of land and gradually make them rich. Educate your children to be industrious and contented farmers. Advocate and epcourage white immigration.’ If I had a week instead of a minute I don’t think I could improve upon this advice.” Household. Lemon Sponge Cake.—Eight eggs, ten ounces of sugar, half pound of flour, the juice and grating of one lemon; separate the eggs, beat the yelks, sugar and lemon until thick and light; whisk the whites until dry, which add witli the flour, half of each at a time; mix all together, but avoid beat ing; butter your pan well and bake in a moderate oven. Butter.— The Times, of Thomaston, Ga., says Mrs. E. B. Thompson shipped thirty - two pounds of butter in one week, lately, and also sold a cow of ordinary breed for SOO, which the editor thinks proves that dairying and stock raising, when properly conducted, can be made to pay in Georgia. There are hundreds of noble women in Geor gia, not to mention other Bouthern Ktates, who ate making a success of dairy farming. Blanc Mange. —Take a pint of calf foot jelly after it is prepared; melt it and mix with the yelks of six eggs, well beaten, with two tablespoonfuls of sifted loaf sugar: put it into the Kettle again and let it just come to a boil; pour it into a mold and set in a cool place and stir for some time to prevent its curdling. Eat with cream or custards flavored witli lemon. This may be made of Cox’s gelatin. First make a pint of jelly, then add the eggs. Virginia Sponge Cake.—Beat the yelks of ten eggs till very light, add one pound of loaf sugar; beat it well. Stir into the mix ture the grated rind and juice of one lemon and two tablespoonfuls of water; then beat (lie whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and add to the rest. Sift and add one-half a pound of the best wheat flour; don’t bent the oako after t!\e flour has been added. Stir just enough to mix the ingredients to gether. Stirring or beating too much makes sponge cake tough. Pour in a well-buttered cake-mold and bake slowly till done. When nearly cool iec it. Farm Notes. Egg plants are tropica 1 by nature, arpi even a cool night will sometimes injure them; hence do not take them from the hot-bod too oarlv. Hot ml |<epper tea is the newest remedy for the cabbage worm. It is sprinkled over the cabbage while the tea is in nearly boiling condition. It is not a mistaken plan to give the boy* a ealf or a pig each to raise. It teaches them at an gaily age to take an interest in farm stock. Small fruits come in bearing ill a year or two after the vines have lieen planted.while peach trees often lienr when three years old. Every family having a small plot of ground should he able to have them every season. The best mode of treating a barren spot in tho fields is to manure it and then sow some kind of crop (such as buckwheat or mullet), to lie turned under in a groeu state. Then scatter lime on it and leave it till spring. It is bettor to plow deep in the fall and cross-plow again in the spring, if large qu-n --tities of fertilisers lei used; but the culti vator should be used frequently in order to keep the earth fine and free from weeils. Milch cows and steera do not require tho same food ami should not bn kept in the same pasture if it enn lie avoided, as both kinds of rattle will thrive lietter from the separa tion, while the labor of managing them will be lessened. m ttvrtrt flrtfmTriiting of the practice of salting stock when if is given at stated pe riods it is sugco-iUsd mat a lump of rock salt THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE fi, 1887. be placed in the manger, so as to have it within easy reach of the animal whenever it may desire salt. Level culture is better than hilling, as it enables the cultivator and harrow to Im* used with greater facility, while the rains do not flow off as rapidly, which is a very import ant matter during drv seasons, when light showers occur only at long intervals. A remedy for maggots on sheep is said to lie kerosene oil. Saturate the sore (mid also the wool around it), and inject.the kerosene as deeply ns possible w ith the use of a syr inge. It will kill them instantly. As kero sene is very irritating and painful the use of crude petroleum w ould perhaps lie better. Mr. A. I. Bidwell, of Florida, received re turns from his first shipment of six crates of peaches some days ago. They brought him $7 per crate or about sls per bushel net. His Peen-to’s are yielding but a short crop. But the Bidwell s Early will give him about four bushels to the tree. It is claimed that if a sow be fed on flesh food, such as a piece of liver or cheap beef, first having the meat slightly sprinkled with salt, she will not be so liable to devour her young, as the habit is said to l>e prompted riy a desire for flesh food. If she continue the practice it will lie cheaper to butcher her. If the calves and pigs were compelled to forage for a living, like the hens, they would soon become a nuisance and fail to pay, yet the hen is sometimes expected to lay under the most adverse conditions. If she is to pay a profit she must receive the attention necessary to enable her to perform all that may be required of her. In attempting to make the food of the calf t<x> rich when it is being raised by hand the digestion may lie impaired and scours be the result. Skim milk not soured given some what warm is the best, but oat meal gruel may be added three times a week and a gill of linseed meal twice a week with advan tage. Do not, however, change the food suddenly. Grow a crop of pumpkins, as they will keep well for winter use and make an ox. cl lent change for the pigs. A farm kettle for cooking pumpkins wall enable the farmer to utilize the crop to better advantage, and as they can be grown in the corn-field after the last working of the corn, they entail but little labor and yield well in proportion to cost, while they are very highly relished by all classes of stock. A Washington correspondent of the Farm and Fireside says: “I bought a package of Persian insect powder plant s<cd (pvre thrum) and planted in my garden. When the pe3ts begin to come I make a tea of the flowers and sprinkle it on the cabbages and melons and it kills every bug. It is harm less to the plant and man. The seed can lie procured of any first-class seedsman. Its culture is very simple. It is the 'buhach’ plant of California, and is the best and safest general insecticide known." It is reported that Mr. Charles Deubler, of Dawson, Ga., has a shepherd dog that drives his chickens up at night. About sun down the dog begins bis rounds over the premises and never stops until every fowl is driven up and is in the hen-house. If a chicken shows a disposition not to retire to its rooeting-place, the dog drives it in the hen-house and stands guard at the door until the chicken takes a perch on the roost, when he will stall after others. A Southern Cul tivator reader had quite a different experi ence with his shepherd dog, as the animal ate up several fine high-bred Plymouth Rocks. There is a difference, says the Cul tivator, in dogs as well as in men. Popular Science. Dr. Vigoroux recommends a glass of hot lemonade every hour or half hour as an easy, agreeable and efficient treatment for diarrhoea. Coarse brown paper soaked in vinegar and placed on the forehead is good for a sick headache. If the eyelids are gently bathed in cool water the pain in the head is gene rally allayed. The Sanitarium says that the well known rain-water taste is due neither to roof-wood or depoiits nor to flying particles of dirt, but to the absorption of aerial gases. Ap v w ater exposed to the open air will acquire the same taste. If your lamp-burners become dim and clogged, boil them in water in which a good sized lump of saleratus and small quantity of soap has been dissolved. When well boiled rub quickly while hot and you will be pleased with the effect. The fibre from pine leaves as a substitute for jute, flax, etc., is now used in the manu facture of carpets. The prepared material bears a close resemblance to yarn and is ca pable of being dyed or bleached and woven m patterns. It bids fair to become a con siderable industry. A Russian physician, Dr. S. Th. Btein, re ports some remarkable experiments,in which he has induced cataract in the eyes of young porpoises by subjecting them to the contin uous vibrations of a tuning fork for Iff to ff 4 hours, or for a much less time when the animals were deprived of the power of hear mg. The cataract soon disappeared on re moving the exciting cause ami could l>e re newed. The phenomenon has not been satisfactorily explained. At a meeting of the Physiological Society of Berlin it was given ns a tact that when the bee has filled his cell and has completed the lid a drop of formic acid, obtained from the poison-bag connected with the sting, is added to the honey by perforating the lid with the sting. This formic acid preserves honey and every other sugap solution from fermentation. Most of the insects that have a stinging apparatus similar to tlmt of the bee are collectors and storers of honey, so the sting has a double function—it is a weapon and a pickle. It is said on the authority of “an Ameri can railway engineer,” that low tempera tures do not decrease tho strength of rails, as is commonly supposed, although It is true that accidents are more likely to occur from broken rails in cold weather. This is be cause when the ground is frozen hard it loses its elasticity. Something must yield when the train runs over the road; it is the ground that yields in unfrozen weather; lmt during a freeze the ground will not yield and the rail, as being the weakest part of tho structure, has to suffer the consequences. Avery insidious enemy lurking in all well water is lead. Bead is the less dissolved the more impure the water.
