The tuuao of the writer should accompany the letter or article, not necessarily for pub lication, but os an evidence of good faith. 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. * know of a case where a lot of pecan treos were left on the sidewalk of a principal city mldorida to tho mercy of frost, und sun for days, The roots were almost withered and terribly mutilatxl.

Nuts aud trees ready for market from No vember to March. 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 over pail and milker, might have obtained reallv humane and at the sumo time lusting comfort to the cows by allowing them to Sin a darkened shed The Idea may nlly bo carried, with profit, to providing such refuge In pasture* where biting flies are numerous* Ttiesubjoct is n>eolttt)y directed to dairy weu. 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. George C. Dchaten, Stevenson Cos., 111. —Swine are subject to several kinds of in testinal worms, which may require different treatment. Worms are much mors frequent in swine Uiun is generally supposed. Tho most effective remedy.is santonin; it may lie given in doses of one-third of 4 teaspoon ful morning and evening, two or three iluys in succession, to lie followed with an active purgative. Another remedy which may Isi tried is wood ashes, with soap-stlds mixed with them; food once a week. Egg-shells crushed into small bits, and shaken well in decaliters, throe parts filled w ith cold wnter, will not only clean them thoroughly, hut make tho glass look like new. By rubbing with a flannel dipped in the liost whiting, the brown discoloration may Is: taken off cups in which custards have been baked. Agaiu, all of us are aware that emery powder will remove ordi nary stains from the white ivory knil'e htimlles, and that the 1 inter of morocco leather is restored by varnishing with white of egg. Nothing, it Is said, is lietter to clean silver with than alcohol or ammonia, finish ing with a little whiting on a soft doth. When putting away tho silver tea or coffee pot, which is not 111 use every duy, lay a stick across the top under the cover. This will allow fresh airtoget in, and prevent tho mustinoss of tho contents fanuliur to bourd ing-house sufferers. 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 tluts aro placed beside each other the near est edge of the one will apjiear as though deprived of all the enk rod rays which it may havo in common with the other. An analogous effect is produc'd with grays 11011- colorod, that is to ray i'wuiod j imply of white and black. CHEAP ADVERTISING. OHE ce.nFa word.
