Commercial Fertilizers.
The Home awl Fanr isays that, despite
all that agricultural writers have said and
reiterated upon tho great importance of fer
tilisation during tlm last decade or longer,
there is still a great deal of indifference
manifested by the averuge Southern farmer
on this most important subject. His sins of
omission in this direction are indeed griev
ous. Comparatively few of our farmers
have, as yet, given the subject of agricul
tural chemistry a serious thought, yet it is
.■ratifying to see that a still more progress
ive order of things bus ojiened. Our farm
ers aro beginning to realize that many of
tlte old-time methods must give place to
more progressive and aggressive ideas and
processes.
Commercial manures have been liberally
advertised in all our agricultural papers for
the |>ust twenty years, and our farmers have
been overwhelmed aud bewildered by col
umn after column of essays upon the merits
of “bone meal,” “soluble guano,” “Cana
dian ashes,” “land plaster,” “special" and
“complete fertilizers,” etc., almost ad in
finitum. Being a mere tyro in tho applica
tion of manures, the more our average
Southern farmer reads about nitrogen, phos
phoric acid, ammonia and other alkalis,
the less ho knows of their practical uses,
consequently he discards tho subject of fer
tilizers in toto as far beyond his ken. These
remarks do not apply to all farmers, for
there are many progressive and thoroughly
scientific agriculturists in tho South, to
whom we aro largely indebted for the new
and more progressive order of things above
alluded to. Wo must not be understood as
condemning the use of commercial fertilizers.
No intelligent funner will deny their value,
but the question is: “How can they bo used
in order to pay a profit on their cost?”
Any prudent man must know that the
random use of commercial fertilizers is a
waste of money. Thousands of dollars have
lieen squandered by Southern farmers in
this direction. Their enthusiasm exceeded
their practicability. It is pretty evident,
therefore, that the average Southern farmer
must look elsewhere than to the merchant’s
warehouse for his manure supply. If he iH
discreet and discerning, he will not have to
look very far, either. His own farm cun
usually be relied upon to furnish all tho
plant food his crops neod.
It is essential to keep land as near as pos
sible in its virgin condition —in the “new
ground" state—minus the stumps and roots.
"New ground,” as every farmer well knows,
is loose and porous. It readily absorbs aud
is a good retainer of moisture. On the con
trary, take an old field that has been culti
vated on tho old plan until utterly impover
ished, and note how compact tho soil has
become, and how readily the water runs off
instead of soaking into the soil. What is
the cause of this difference? Why is the
“new ground” so much more porous and
loamy than the old land, which has boon
turned again and again by the plowshare?
The reason is, because the vegetable matter
or humus, which is abundant on the new
laud, has lieen exhausted on the old. Hence,
the great difference, pot only in this respect,
but also in their fertility. Humus acts both
as a mechanical manure; in keeping tho soil
loose, and as a chemical fertilizer in
supplying plant food. Hence, tho great
importance m keeping up the supply in the
cultivated fields. But liow is this to be
done?
The value of cow-peas is little ap
preciated as a green manure crop
by our farmers for the simple reason that
they have never attempted green manuring
or any other modo of fertilization to any
extent worth mentioning. Tho way our old
Georgia and AJabana forefathers used peus
as a restorer of fertility is well worthy of
imitation by their descendants.
Pecan Troos.
Author Brown of Beachwater Florida in
an article in tho Floriiia Disoatoh says that
he has had no experience with tho English
walnut, but sees no reason why it would
nut do well in Florida. Pecan trees como
into bearing from six to tex years, and ut
twenty years should yiold from 150 pounds
to 200 pounds per tree, presuming all things
are favorable. In placo of deteriorating in
hearing, tho older they get up to fifty years
there will be marked improvement in yield
yearly, und consequently a steady advance
ment in the income. The tree is not affeet
ed by any climatic change of heat or frost,
but upward and onward continue to grow
increasing yearly in beauty; and finally,
with outspreading branches, is a tree of
Imauty and money promise to tho owner.
The borer is the only enemy to fight and is
easily detected and killed. Destroy all cat
erpillar uosfcs, and chances for those borers
“re thereby diminished. A gummy sub
stance, sticking to the tree denotes their
presence. Scrape away this substance where
u hole will appear; in this hole insort a wire
and thus crush the worm. Sometimes they
may be found under the ground throe or
four inches aud close to the trunk, but aro
generally found in the trunk or limbs. The
harm is m girdling a liiub ns completely as
*f done with an ax, when the limb dies.
|'c' in trees need no particular attention or
fertilizing, and will bear bad treatment und
gross neglect better than any tree I know of.

Pretty Fair Hay.
Mr. Henry Guliek of Summit Fla., is a
hr u believer in teu-vino hay. Iu a com
munication to the Florida Dispatch he says:
My experience in making cow-pea hay last
year may benefit some.
On May ri, ISStJ, we started two plows on
a six-acre field of rye stubble and dropped
s:x or eight peas at every step in every
fourth furrow, soil a good quality of high
pine, bordering on what wo call pine hum
mock, finished plowing May 27, on May
28 harrowed with a two-horse Acme to
level the ground. They were plowed once
on June 15, about half with turn-plow and
balance with sweep. Could see no difference
in thp growth, but the latter left the ground
very level.
No fertilizer was used. The yield of
vines was quite largo, but peas only mo
derate, but yield of the latter on the poor
est ground.
On Aug. 17, the weather being fine, and
the peas on one side of the field being nearly
ripe but retaining their leaves, we mowed
enough with a common grass scythe to make
a ton or more of dry hay. As fast as tho
leaves became well wilted aud before they
were crisp, they were thrown in plies with
hay forks, oach pile large enough to make
a good food for two horses. These piles
were never spread out again but turned
over on the hot ground three times a day,
and at night three or four piles were put to
gether to protect from tho heavy dew, and
in the morning when tho dew was off they
were separated and turned as before. Wo
hauled on Aug. 28, after drying nearly
three days, aud still apparently not quite
dry enough. A few handfuls of salt were
scattered over each layer in the mow.
On Sept. 10, we cut about as much more
and treated the same os the first lot. except
it was left to cure until the afternoon of
that day, and in addition each pile was
bound with a light band of damp rye straw,
which proved of good service in hauling the
hay.
We have been in Florida live years, ex
cept an annual short sojourn North, have
kept two kors66 and bought northern hay
the first two years, afterwards crab-grass
hay, which is very good, but nothing to
compare to pea hay. It came out of the
mow with leaves as green as when it was
put in, and ono quart of corn at a feed was
ample when the pea-vine was used.
Henry Gulick.
Selecting: the Cow.
A model useful dairy cow, says the Ameri
can Agriculurist, may be known at a
glance by an expert. She has a fine, long
head, broad between tho eyes, and
large, a thin, wide muzzle; the eyes are
and of a mild expression; the neck is thin
and long: the ears are thin and covered
within with a deep yellow skin; tho fore
quarters are light aud thin, aud the wholo
body has much the shapo of a wedge, in
creasing in size to the rear; the legs are thin
with fine bone: the belly is large and deep,
with groat capacity for food; tho back is
broad and straight, and the ribs are well
rounded towards the rear; tho bones of tho
rump aro wide apart; tho tail is long and
thin; the thighs arc thin and are set -widely
apart; the udder is large and full, especially
behind; tho teats are of good size, and set
far apart upon a broad, level udder, and tho
milk-vein, so-called, which is the large vein
leading from the uddor and passing into tho
abdomen, and which is an indication of the
amount of blood circulating through the
milk glands, and contributing to the milk
secretion, should be fully and tortuous in
its short course. A fine horn, a deep, yellow
skin, and a general elogance of form, with
out any heaviness or beefiness in any part,
are also important indications of good
quality iu a cow for tho dairy.
Seedling Peaches.
Mr. C. C. L. Dill of Dillburg, Ala., writes
to the Home and Farm that Alabama is a
fine fruit growing State, and says a word
about grafting peach trees. Ho insists that
grafting never has, and never can, improve
the poach. We want new and improved
varieties, and to get them we must plant
the seed. No one claims that a small, knotty,
inferior seedling is more hardy than the
very best varieties grown. On the con
trary, they arc not as hardy, and whether
hardy or not they should bo cut down just
as soon us they como in bearing—in fact,
they should never havo been set out, for figs
do not grow on thistles, and knotty, inferior
peaches, as a rule, do not grow on thrifty
trees, and none but the most thrifty trees
should ever bo set in an orchard. We had
In this part of Alabama us flue peaches as
con bo found anywhere until the tree ped
dler made his appearance, but since then
our orchards have gradually gone down.
Some say this is due to buying trees raised
in a higher lutitude, and I am willing to ad
mit that his has had much to do with it, but
not half as much as buying grafted tree®. Is
there any good reason why we can not im
prove our fruit by selecting our seed the
same as wo do corn, cotton, etc? If
there is, wo would be very glad to know it.
The Navel Orango.
Mr. 8. Dyer, in the Citra (Fla.) Fra, writes
as follows: Three years ago I purchased a
grove which contains between sixty and
seventy navel orange trees, and was advised
by several old orange groweiu to bud them
with other varieties, as they were too shy
bearers to lie profitable.
The trees wero among the most thrifty in
the grove. I determined to tost their valuo
by a few yours’ trial, a conclusion that ex
perience has proved to have been a wise one.
During the tliroo yoars of my ownership
these trees have boon among the most
prolific in my grove, and now aio loaded
with fruit of splendid size and appearance.
A visit to my grovo will convince any one
that I lmvo no treos more valuable.
As to tho causo of this success, tho secret
lies in the fact that my navels are inter
spersed with six acres of other varieties.
The navel orange is deficient iu pollen, and
if planted by themselves fail to set their
fruit; but if intermixed with other trees
will prove to Ixi as prolific as can bo desired.
It may bo that there is some choice in tho
varieties to bo relied on as fertilizer, hence
I will stuto that my trees are principally
mixed with Nonpareil, Magnum Bonum
and Stark’s Favorite. I Invite a visit from
the doubters of the profitableness of the
navel orange.
Tho Indiana man, who carefully blanketed
his cows while being milked, so the flit*
would not bite them and cause them to kick

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. AUGUST 1, 1887.
Household,
Pancakes.—One cup sour milk, one cup
brown sugir, two eggs. soda, allspice; cook
like dougunuts, only drop the dough from
the spoon instead of molding and cutting
like doughnuts.
Delicious Breakvast Cake.—One egg,
one cup milk, two cups flour, one and one
half tablespooufuls melted butter, oue-half
toaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful cream
tartar, ono tablospoonful sugar.
Graham Cakes.—Scaled one cup of In
dian meal in three pints water; add one cup
of flour, one small * cup yeast and one cup
molasses, one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoon
ful salt, and as much graham flour us will
easily stir in with a spoon.
Puddiso Sauce.—One tablespoouful of
sifted flour mixed smoothly in water. Boil
ten minutes, set back from the tire, add u
tablespoonful of butter and stir in well for
five minutes ono well-beaten egg. Do not
boil the egg—the scalding liquid will cook it
enough. Add the juice of one lemon; grate
tho yellow part if iiked.
Delicious Cream Crullers.—Take one
cupful of sugar and mix with it a dessert
spoonful of butter: next thoroughly beat
two eggs and mix them with the sugar and
butter, adding a little salt and nutmeg and
one cup of cream. Then add flour enough,
in which are three teospoonfuls of baking
powder, to mix a very soft dough. Form
m any shapo do.-,irod and fry iu boiling lard.
Splendid Bread Pudding.—Soak the
soft part of a baker’s loaf in a pint of warm
milk; add a tablespoopful of soft butter, a
tablespoonful of thick cream, the rind and
a part of tho juice of a lemon and two well
beaten eggs. Flour a large cupful of dried
currants, grate nutmeg over them and add
to the rest. Bake in well-buttered custard
cups and serve with pudding sauce, either
hard or liquid.
i Sorrel Sauce or “Pupee.”—One of
Soyer’s methods is to work well four haml
fufe of sorrel, put it nearly dry into a mid
dle-sized saucepan with a teas[>ooiiful of but
ter; after it melts add a tablespoonful of
flour, a teaspoonful of salt, half ditto of pep
l>er, moisten to a tsick puree with milk,
cream or broth; pass It through a sieve, put
it back in tho stewpan, warm, againadd two
eggs, two ounces of butter, and stir well. A
sauce is not possible without Its bouquet,
which is as necessary as the perfume to tho
violet, nor is a soup or salad perfect with
out the subtlo odors of chopped tarragon,
chives and bay leaves. Fish should always
lie boiled in water already prepared by de
cocting these suvory herbs in it.
Farm Notea.
One thing which favors the cultivation
of poultry is the division of labor. Few in
dustries to day iu the United fctates show a
healthier growth or yield so vast a return
to the American people In proportion to the
amount of capital required and employed in
carrying it on.
Very flue chicks wero produced from cros
sing the Gray Dorking and Wyandotte this
season, in raising broilers, tho chicks being
very compact, and attaining a weight of
- when ten weeks old, with high feed
ing. It is an excellent cross, and gives
satisfaction to all who may experiment
with it.
Very fat hens cannot stand the heat of
summer unless provided with shade. Tho
normal temperature of birds is much higher
t han of animals, and on very warm days
they suffer considerably. Fat hens will
suddenly die from apoplexy, even u hen ap
parcntly well, which may lie prevented if
cool water and shade are provided.
If ordinary cheap paper, such as is used
for lining houses, lie used on the wails of
poultry-houses, inside, and a few laths then
nailed on, so as to allow of another covering
of paper, leaving an air space between tho
two linings of paper, it will make an ex
cellent protection, both summer and winter,
as well as assisting somewhat against lice.
A night pasture is tho thing for tho cows.
Have one handy and keep it for years. The
cows will make it rich, and seed scattered
over it early in the spring will renew the
sward. The seed might bo covered with a
harrow aud this would be good for the grass.
A good scratching of the surface would
spread the manure and start up things
afresh. New idea, hut a good one.
Mr. J. C. Foster, living a little over a
mile from Sanford Fla., exhibits specimens
of peaches raised by him, tho largest of
which measured nine Inches by eight und
three fourths in circumference. They grew
on seedling trees, the product of pits brought
from Tennessee. This demonstrates that
though Florida may not Dave peach
trees near every year," yet occasional “hits”
compensate well for the space they occupy,
A few days ago, says tho Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle, the writer had the pleasure of
inspecting the dairy of Muj. B. W. Hunt,
near Eutontoil, The appointments of the
dairy arojiorfect. Maj. Hunt has a largo
herd of Jerseys and ships about DO pounds
of butter a week; it nets him 3.7 c. per pound,
lie is now seeking a market for buttermilk,
which he proposes to ship daily iu self-seal
ing quart jars. Later he expects to begin
the manufacture of koumiss, for which,
doubtless, he will find ready sale. The dairy
business is assuming large proportions in
Georgia anil the South. There is money in
it, but it demauds that close, personal at
tention which banking receives at tho hands
of tho bank, or merchandising at the hands
of the merchant. He who proposes to give
it this attention can succeed.
Popular Science.
The following preparation applied to the
surface will prevent any rusting on plows
or any other ruotal surfaces: Malt one ounce
of rosin iu a gill of liuseed-oil, and when hot
mix with two quarts of kerosene oil. This
can be kept on nand and applied in a mo
ment with a brush or rag to the metal sur
face of any tool that is not going to lie used
for a few days, preventing any rust and
saving much vexation when the time coqjp
to use it again.

—Swine are subject to several kinds of in

It has bean laid down by M. Chevoul that
the human eye cannot Iw long employ ml in
tho perception of a given color without
tending to become insensiblo and to urouse
an impression similar to that; ordinarily pro
duced by tho jierooption of white light. Dr.
Beelnrd lias also noticed that when the cyo
is directed for a time upon a colored field,
the other eye Isjing clot*id, if the eye which
was open lie in turn closod and the other
opened a spectre of the complementary
color will be perceived; thus, if the right
eye bus observed a red disk, the left being
shut, a reversal of this stale of things would
result in the perception of a green disk by
tile freshly openol left eye. In virtue of
the same property of Gio ova, vbn;i two
