AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT'. The Field, Farm and Garden. We solicit articles for this department. The name of the writer should accompany the letter or article, not necessarily for pub lication, but as an evidence of good faith. Oil Mills and Cotton Seed Producers. M. C. Fitzsimmons, of Charleston, S. C., has a rather interesting and valuable arti cle in tho Country Gentleman on oil mills and cotton seed producers. He says: Mr. Baldwin’s article shows a practical appre ciation of the value Of /cotton seed, and I feci thut he, like myself, is only seeking for the truth about the advantages and disad vantages of oil mills to the cotton seed pro ducers. As this question must be discussed from every man’s point of view, I bog to lay some figur es before him for his examination, and would also like Prof. Stewart to state, after examining my figures, if they do not show, not only that the mills are a help to tho whole South (since tho gross value of a ton of seed is doubled by being put into its pro ducts), but that the terms offered to the planter by the mills indicate a direct benefit to him. As I am not familiar with the prices offered and asked for cotton seed and its products in Mr. Baldwin’s territory, I will give those ruling in this (Georgia, North and South Carolina) for the last year, when the price of seed was lower than in previous years (on account of the American Cotton Oil Trust monopoly), and Mr. Baldwin can reduce the figures to his position to the mills. I leave out all allowance for a middleman, for any planter who raises 25 bales of cotton produces 12 tons of cotton seed, which is a carload; consequently he can deal directly with the manufacturer. Now for fucts as to cotton seed. In every ton of 2,000 lbs. of clean seed there are 1,000 lbs. of hulls and 1,000 lbs. of kernels Dr. Dabneys agricultural report, State of North Carolina, 1882). After tho oil is extracted, there remain about 700 lbs. of cake or meal. The average analysis of cottonseed, per ton, is: Ammonia, 3 percent.; phosphoric acid, 1 per cent.; potash, 1 per cent. The average analysis of meal, per ton, is: Ammonia, per cent.; phosphoric acid, 3 per cent.; pot ash, 2 percent. So that, in round numbers, it takes, mechanically, three tons of seed to produce one ton of meal, and scientifically we have it proved that one ton of meal con tains (in round numbers) threo times as much of ammonia, phosphoric acid and pot ash as one ton of seed. (The slight varia tion, mathematically, in the above is due to the variation in the condition of the mill machinery in process of manufacturing.) I do not think it necessary to “split hairs” with Mr. Baldwin, and am sure he will agree that the above statements are sufficiently accurate for practical purposes. That the plant food power of the seed has not been decreased, lies in the fact that the oil and hulls contain but a decimal amount of am monia, phosphoric acid and potash per ton of seed. Now with tho above facts before us, I will take the prices ruling for seed, meal and hulls, in carload lots at the planter’s station, consequently from his point of view. The price for seod was 810 per ton (2,000 lbs.); for hulls, 84 per ton; for meal, $23 per ton. Now if he sells his seed for $lO per ton, one half of which is hulls (I,OUO lbs.) and he can buy those hulls for $2 per 1,000 lbs., is he not buying his hulls back for just one-half of what he has been paid for them? Again, he gets S3O for throe tons of seed, and buys all the meal they produce (one ton) for $23. Would not this give him his seed, sacked, ground and cooked, and $7 in addition, which would be the price of his hulls? Lastly, he gets $lO for one ton of seed, buys all the meal it will produce for $7 66 (one third of $23), and all the hulls it produces for $2, making a total of $0 66; so that if ho wishes both the hulls and meal returned, the oil that the mill has secured has paid the transportation both way’s and the expense of manufacturing, thereby saving him both labor, time and money outlay in machinery. Furthermore, if he will calculate what he loses in weight by evaporation by holding his seed for home consumption, he will find that this item alone would pay for the haul ing to tho station. Again, if he is going to use the meal di rectly as a fertilizer, he can apply it to tho soil for one-third of the cost of applying the crude seed, with no risk of hurting tho “stand” of his crop by “sprouting.” And let me say that if every planter will take his hulls back at the price he has been paid for them, I believe every mill would be willing to add one-half of that amount to the origi nal price paid for his seed. I believe 1 am sustained in the following opinions by tho agricultural stations: That when the whole seed or kernel is fed to ani mals, a large part of the oil passes through them without their deriving any direct ben efit therefrom; that the meal is considered preferable, not only’ because it hus been cooked, hut also because the oil cells having been broken and a portion of tho oil taken away, it is in a better available condition as a food. I will also state that if he (tho planter generally) persists in thinking that the oil is something of a fertilizer, them is from 10 to 13 per cent, of oil left in the meal. Now of the throe things that he uses as a fer tilizer, knowing them to 1)0 plant food, phosphoric acid Is the largest quantity he purchases in any one ton of fertilizers, ami he seldom gets over 10 to 12 percent, of that to the ton. Tho establishment of mills by the South ern Cotton (lil Company is an assn ns 1 fact, ns I know that they are now erecting eight mills between Texas and North Carolina. * "nipetition is likely to be very brisk, so Bmt tlie figures of the coming season, on 'he basis of tho above calculations, will prove much more beneficial to tho planters. How to Make the Soil Productive. Hie necessity of humus in tho soil cannot be too strongly presented and urged upon ihe .Southern farmer. Hir J. B. Lawos, of Hothnmsted, Eng,, after forty years of me fh'dieal experiments for nitrogen has about ' ’’■'eluded that there is enough in all soils if it is freed so it can got to work. Mr. A. P. Sharp, Kent county, Md., has f "‘S entertained a contempt for purchased nitrogen, and by an experience of twenty Voirs has demonstrated that humus in any nn will free it in the soil by mechanical “' lion. He uses anything that will furnish mins and prefers a crop of weeds growing t* Plow under to plowing, clear land. Terry, of Kununit county, one of no a very best, most successful farmers, manelally, has proved the correctness of theory by his use of clover, having I* “wis| under crop after crop, groen, on his I* 1 "!’ HI" career as a farmer, his balance in **snk, put therefrom money made on tho “■'m, all go to show the lament of humus. ‘Te in my own county there Is a plants II ui the lands of which a heavy crop of u allowed to grow every year, half the land being in crops, the other half in weeds, and I liavo never known a crop to fail on that farm; neither hus there been any commercial fertilizer bought. There is no soil here in Georgia humus will not bene fit. Anything, old decayed logs, leaf mold, muck, pond scrapings, weeds plowed under, are all good, but better still are cowpea vines. If the farmers will rotate bo as to have their land iu cmvpeas every third year and turn under the crop green when in full blossom, in a few years their acquaintance with mortgages will bo less intimate and they can sell cotton for cash. It is easi-lv done. Say we start with tho “Branch” field this year in cotton, next year in corn, that fall in oats. Tho oats are off in May or June, then sow two bushels of peas to the acre immediately, plow them under iu the fall and by March your land is in good fix to plant cotton again. While this rotation is being conducted in tho “Branch” field tho other fields are to be treated tho same way, starting the system witli any crop you please. Understand I do not mean it must lie cotton, corn and oats, but any three crops the fann er is planting; neither do 1 mean that this is all the manuring he needs. Manure all you can, save all your pen and stable manure to go in the drill each year for each and every crop; gather all the trash and muck you can from woods and ponds, compost this with kainit, then mix in your stable manure with it, use thi3 every year, but be sure once in three years to get that crop of pea vines in your soil. It will free the ni trogen, allow it to work and place your soil where it was when first cleared up. The economy of the plan will commend it to every thinking farmer. He broadcasts his land in a manure which he knows is good for about s3—tho cost of plowing,two bush els of peas and turning under the vines. Can he buy any fertilizer for $3 which will broadcast an aero? Mr. Terry, on tho clay lands of Ohio, has proved this theory to bo true. Mr. Sharp, on the sand lands of Maryland, has done the same; and Sir John of Rotliamsted, from deductions from tho experiments of 1886, gives Mr. Sharp credit for the sense of the theory that seeking to purchase nitrogen is a poor way to get it, and acknowledges the value of humus. If the average farmer is doubtful let him take one acre, plant it next month in peas and oats in the full, and continue this for three years, then plant any crop he wants to on that acre, without any manure what ever, and he will see what humus has done for him. By this use of peas, oats —one of tho most exhaustive crops —can be grown year after year, with an improvement in yield each crop on the same land. Much better, then, must it be to rotate. G. 11. Norwood. Pear Trees and Blight. While there appears to bo no remedy as yet discovered, says the New York Star, which can be relied on as a cure for the blight in pear trees, there are many theories advanced by horticulturists in regard to it. Downing attributes the disease to a minute fungus which first attacks tho bark and, penetrating inwardly, destroys the cell structures, thereby causing the death of tho tree. He says that these fungoid spores must be destroyed before any hopes can be entertained of saving the life of tho tree, and which can best be done by washing the affected parts with anything that will ac complish the object—not merely applying the same superficially, but thoroughly work ing it into the pores by means of a paint brush, pure linseed oil being about the best for the purpose. Another authority attributes the disease to atmospheric causes, combined, probably, with the state of the soil, and prescribes as a remedy the application of salt to the roots. Another, that it is caused by a superabun dance of nitrogen in the soil, the only way of preventing tho activity of which is to increase the mineral elements in proportion; the application of wood ashos being proba bly as good as anything else. Others, again, attribute tho disease to a small insect which, penetrating to tho cam bium, causes the tree to wither and die, and advises washing the body and larger branch es of the tree with strong soapsuds contain ing a little carbolic acid. In fact, our best authorities differ very much in their modes of treatment. Tho theory that comes nearest our own ideas on the subject is, that tho disease is eausod by a lack of some mineral constituent in the soil which, from the continual drafts made upon jt by the tree, has become exhausted, and which can he best supplied by top dressings of lime, ashes and a little salt, to gether with some good rich compost; or, in fact, anything that w’ill furnish food for the tree—not forgetting tho free use of the cul tivator in incorporating the same well with the surface soil. Menelaa’ Poultry Farm. The Southern Cultivator says that the poultry department will be a special feature of the newly-organized plantation of Mr. C. Mencius, at Brookhavcn, Miss. It will bo under the control and management of an experienced and efficient person familiar with all its details and needs. Tho cfiickens are to be handled in colonies of twelve hens and one rooster to a yard. Each colony is provided with a suitable house, is separate and distinct from all other colonies, and while the tenor fifteen colonies mingle freely with each other during the day, at dark each colony retires to its own home for the night. The young chicks, as they are hatched, will lie taken from tlicir mothers and cured for by a hen who will mother from sovonty-flvo to one hundred, while the real mother will soon begin to lay again. By this method it is hoped to keep most of tho hens laying or sitting nearly tho whole year through. Household. Potato Dumplings. —Form cold mashed potatoes into small mounds by pressing them into a small-sized cup. Place on the top of each a bit of butter and buko until hot all through and well browned. Sliced Beets.— Do not prick or cut tho skin in any way, for if this he done they lose color. Put into baling water and bill two hours. Peel and slice, and seuson with salt, pepjier and tnlilesisxmful of melted butter. Serve very hot. Chicken Pie Crust.—One egg, six tahle spoontuls of melted butter, one cupful of sweet milk, two cupfuls of flour, three to.i siKsuifuls of baking powder. This makes just enough for a pie made of one chicken. After the chicken is cooked, put it, with gravy slightly thickened, into an earthen baking-dish; stir the ingredients mentioned above together and spread over the chicken. Kcuppernono Grape Jelly.—Squeeze tho inside and juice from the skin, throwing the skins away. Heat toe Juice and pulp till Hol't enouqli to manh ana strain through u (tunnel Isig, then boil the juice fifteen minutes. Have the sugar hot when added tuid boll hard and steadily ten minutes alter the sugar is uddid and it will jelly at once. Quantity of sugar to be used is one of sugar to two of juice. Grapes must not he quite ripo for Jelly. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 11, 1887. Farm Notes. In a series of experi meats made by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station on cabbage worms, the most efficacious remedy was found to be a mixture of one ounce of pyrethrum with buckwheat flour. The product of swine cun bo preserved a longer time in a delectable condition than tho meat of any other animal. No other kind of meat with six months age will re tain the delicious flavor of a choice sugar cured ham. This is a big point iu favor of pork-raising. In sowing seeds t it is well to remember that though tho soil should be deep and finely pulverized, yet a loose condition is unfavorable to good growth. After the seeds are sown a heavy rolling would be a great advantage. This practice, though often pursued in farm crops, is seldom ex tended to garden work. Nature has created in swine an appetite for roots, and lias as nil aid to their procur ing this variety of food providing them with means for digging them up. Roots are good for liogs, e-peciimy in the winter when the grass is dead. Tho sugar beet is one of tho best of tho cultivated roots for hogs; it is easily grown; is a largo yielder, and will contribute to health and growth. The best whitewash we have over had knowledge of is composed of lime slacked to the proper consistency for application, into which (for inside work) while hot mix a starch made from half a pound of flour, or two ounces of common white glue, thor oughly dissolved. For outside work add to the above preparation a handful of rock salt and as much soft boiled rice. This will “stick - ’ with unexampled certainty. “I have .used during two years past,” says a correspondent iu Husbandman, “water impregnated with gas tar for the purpose of destroying the Colorado beetle on my po tato vines. It lias proved more efficacious than pans green and has been used with equal effect upon my currant bushes. Two quarts of gas tar to a pailful of water are the proportions used and the vines or bushes are sprinkled by means of a watering-pot.” Green ducks is tho term applied to young ducks under three months old, and they are considered great delicacies, being superior to game in some respects. They do not reach the market in large numbers as yet, hut the demand is increasing every year. They weigh about eight pounds per pair, and are fattened well before being shipped to market. A school for horseshoers would add thou sand of dollars to the value of horses. While the blacksmiths and horseshoers are familiar with the work of shoeing, anil un derstand the quality of the shoes, yet a largo majority of them are In ignorance of the structure of the hoof. Shoeing has become an art, and there is much to learn in that respect. Twenty years ago the poultry on farms received but little attention, being allowed to roost on trees in severe weather, and to pick up subsistence wherever it could lie found. At the present day there is a large amount of capital invested in poultry houses and yards, while a large proportion of the tarred paper and wire netting manufactured is sold to poultrymen for use in coops and for fencing. There are several poultry houses in this country that cost from $2,000 to SIO,OOO. The great importance of water to fruits is inferred from the fact that 1,000 pounds of apples just from the tree contain 831 pounds of water; grapes, 830 jx*unds; straw berries, 802 pounds; plums, 838 pounds; pears, 831 pounds; cherries, 825 pounds. Fruits, excepting the seeds, contain but a small percentage of nitrogen, potash, soda, lime, magnesia, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid or silicic acid. R. H. M., of Edgefield, Ky., W’rites: I have an old pear tree, on which, four years ago, I budded a Keiffer pear. The bud, at the base, is two inches in diameter, eight feet in length and has eight branches, the longest branch being four feet. Last year it bore aboui forty’ pears. This year, by careful count, it has two hundred and sixty five large pears. Some clusters on a single branch and iu a space of one feot have twenty-two pears averaging half a pound. It is the greatest curiosity in protlicaey that I ever saw in the pear line, far excelling the LeConte, and is the most lieautiful pear, being a clear lemon yellow with a bright red cheek. One specimen last y’ear weighed eighteen ounces. Some specimens will sur pass it this year. It ripens in October. Popular Science. Mr. W. August Carter has been observing the habits and methods of fish, and has come to the conclusion that they are an “intelli gent, ingenious and crafty race.” He is con vinced that they are capable of understand ing and being understood by one another, and that they give warning of danger to each other. Prof. Ferdinand Cohn, in a paper on “Vi tal Questions,” considers that wehavosolved the riddle of life, inasmuch as wo have grasped tho mechanism and tho physical and chemical forces that set it in motion. But, as we still have to face other phenom ena ami active forces, tho full solution of tho problem is yet far deferred. Cassell's Magazine refers ton now kind of glue for joining leather belts which has recently been introduced. Its tenacity may be gathered from the statement that a joint in a four-inch single belt, recently tested, broke in the leather clear of the join with a stress of 2,174 pounds, which is at the rate of 2,800 pounds on the square inch of section of the belt. The formula is not given. Salt brine is used in Sheffield, Kng., for hardening steel, says an exchange. Tho mixture improves with ago and use, and to such uu extent that its value is largely in creasod. In some eases these tanks are fifty years old and have a value in proportion to tlieir age. It appears that tho constant dip ping of the hot metal into the same solution alters in some way its character. Dr. R. VY. Shufeldt has recorded an inter esting; study of a case of the repair of the bill of u raven after it bad been shot off. The ball had carried away the upper hill just forward of the nostrils. The bone had grown again so as to cover the injury, and tho horny covering, following suit., liad in eased the stump formed by tho bone. Tho result of Nature’s surgery in the case was that the injured part wus left in such con dition thut tlu; danger of subsequent inflam mation was avoided, while the form of tho resulting stump was us useful a one us could jxissibly be expected to follow after a wound of such a character. An international cremation conference is to be held in Milan in September of this year. Among the questions to which its attention will ho brought will be those of legislation concerning thoß unxportation of liodies from one country to another; crema tion and the preservation of nshivi, with esis'eial reference to hygiene and legal med icine; the technical, moral, hygienic and economical aspects of different systems of cremation and projects for international legislation with reference to liberty at fu nerals. “Tnbaaheor” is a peculiar stoneor mineral found in the shuns of certain bamlioos. It resembles an opal ami seems to hear the same relation Vo the mineral kingdom that pearls and amlicr do. From time immemo rial it has enjoyed a high reputation in Eastern countries for medicinal virtues, like those of the fossil teeth of China and the heletnnitos ("thunderbolts”) of this country. Tho bamboos which produce it contain a clear greenish liquid, which on standing yields a whitish sediment. The stone is believed to Is- produced from tins liquid and is commonly found in hamliooH which rattle on being shaken. When tuba sheer is simply whetted it becomes opaque, but clear mid transparent when soaked in water. It consists chiefly of silica, i*>tusli anil water, and thus resembles the opal iu composition as well as 1m appearance. Phillips' Digestible Cocoa. Unlike other coccus or chocolates.
