AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. The Field, Farm and Garden. AYe Milli'it articles for this department. The name of the writer should accompany the letter or article, uot necessarily for pul>- licstion, but as an evidence of good faith. Lucerne a3 Alfalfa. Tv. J. Redding, of Atlanta. Ga., iu au ar ticle in the Southern Cultivator, says that Editor Medill, of Chicago, in a recent com munication to a prominent Southern gen tleman, says alfalfa, or California clover, is not t he same plant as we of the South have long known as lucerne. What authority lie has for such a statement we do not know; hut it is pretty certain that lie is in error. It is possible, if not probable, that there may be two varieties. At any rate we are all agreed that the lucerne we have been cultivating in a sort of sjioradic way for forty or fifty years is one of the most val uable forage plants that are adapted to the youth. Lucerne is a native of the southern part of Europe, fi'om whence it was introduced into Chili, and perhaps much later into Cal ifornia. The different routes or sources from which we have obtained seed may ac count for such differences as have been noted; for it is known that different soils and climates cause differences which some times justify a division into varieties. It is closely allied to the ordinary red clover, and while possessing many of the valuable finalities of clover it has in addition some points of excellence. It is fully equal to clover in nutritive qualities; it produces even more food per acre; it comes much earlier in the spring; it will bear cutting from three to >u. times during the season; and, lastly, it is perennial A plat of ground once well set in lucerne, and occasionally top-dressed, will last for a generation. It is a plant, that is well adapted to stand the heat and drought of summer, and it is not subject to disasters Although possessing all these good qualities, and having been in limited cultivation in the South for many years, we presume that not one farmer in ten would know the plant at sight, and still fewer have cultivated even a small patch of it. We are inclined to the opinion that lu cerne is, aii things considered, the most val uable forage plant we have. Now is too time to sow the seed—during the month of September—yet it will do well sown in FTmiary or March. It is useless to sow on any but the best or most highly fertilized land. A deep, sandy loam, well drained and deeply broken, is what the plant requires, although succeeding well on clay soils. The soil must have been previ ously cultivated in one or two clean-hoed crops in order that there may be no seeds of weeds or of other grass to interfere with the plants the first year. Select a piece of land that has been uaA?.- high, intensive culture until it has become very rich, and also free from seeds; or if the ground is not already rich it may be highly fertilized with well rotted stable manure or high grade ammo nia ted superphosphate. Prepare the land just as you would to produce a big yield of rutabagas, and sow in the same way—in drills about 18 inches apart, covering lightly and pressing the soil over the drill. Use about 12 pounds of seed per awe. These directions are given with some particularity because their observance is quite necessary to insure success. The seed will come up in a week or less (when sown in th fall), and are not trou bled by insects as in the case of turnips. The main objwct o ’ working the crop is to keep it clear f weeds, some of which will spring up in the very cleanest soiL The plants do not need to be thinned out, but a light sweep should lie run along the rows to keep down weeds and encourage growth. Early in February or March. according to locality, the plants will spring forward very rapidly, and one or two cuttings may be had the first, season of growth. When de sired to feed it to stock, the plants should be cut when in bloom, and before they be gin to turn yellow, allowed to lie on the ground until wilted (say until next day), when the forage may be fed to stock ad libitum. Excellent, hay may be made from lucerne and it will afford several crops in one season. It is said that the hay does not salivate stoc k as clover does, the second cutting. All that the crop will require after becoming well established will be oc casional top-dressing with rotted stable manure or a dose of good commercial fer tilizer. The Use of Salt. A writer in the London Horticultural Times says that, thirty years’ successful use of salt upon all kinds of crops was perfectly satisfactory to him. It should not he used on cold, heavy or moist soils, and if any one does be will be disappointed in the result, as its tendency is to keep the ground cool and moist. It will do such soil more harm than good. It should not be cast upon very young or tender plants of any kind, as it will be very sure to kill them. Judgment, should be employed in using so strong an agent. ‘T had a friend who heard me re commend salt, on onion beds, when I strictly urged that it should be dragged or worked in lief ore the seed was sown; but, forgetting tvhat 1 said, he did not. salt until the onions wem about two inches high, and it killed them nil; but sowing another crop properly it turned nut splendidly. Had he waited until the tops were as big as a large pipe stem. he might have covered the ground an Inch deep and his onions would have done finely.” Onions should be sown on the same ground year after year, as they continue to improve. There are yards a hundred years old and their yield would astonish the coin- Inoti grower. The tops when cut off should lie scattered over the ground (do not leave Ihem in lumps), as they make the I lest food for the growing onions; then sow salt and fut on a coat of manure, bait is not much of a fertilizer in itself, though plants take It up, as you can tell by tasting and by the Stiffening and glazing of straw of a plant grown in a salted ground. It acts upon and assimilates the gross matter in the soil, so as to make it available food. It should be in wery garden. Keeping Sweet Potatoes. The Southern Cultivator says that the following is the plan most, generally fol lowed for keeping sweet potatoes: Potatoes h/ive no particular stage of growl h at which thej are “ripe,” but will Keep at any stage If dug when ia the proper condition—that K whou the ground is dry and the tubers are not in a growing condition Dig the latter part of October or (he first week in November, when the. ground is dry, if pos sible, at least lief ore second growth sets in after a rain about the last week in October. I*ig with care, bruising as ratio us possible. li*t h'loiii sun until late in t he afternoon; hen Imul to the place where fo be banked, fhi* place should be on high ground and hglit, well drained soil If convenient. Drive ' stake into the ground, saw off about <ll* ’ fret high. Rake the soil from a circle round I stake and form it into a sort q'f “circus i ring,” r> feet in diameter with tig- stake in | the centre. Cover this bed with dry pine | straw or broom-sedge a foot thick. Place | the potatoes around the stake, piling them j up as steep as they can be made to lie until 110 or -10 bushels are heaped. Now cover with a thick coat of pine-straw or corn stalks or other dry material, disposing the stalks regularly around the bank. If no j corn-stalks, use boards, breaking joints carefully. Then cover the hill thus formed ! with earth dug from immediately around j the base of the hill until several inches | thick, forming a trench around the base for drainage. As the weather grows colder in crease the thickness of the earth on the hill it attains a thickness of a foot or more be fore extreme cold weather occurs. The points to be observed are: Dig when the growth of the potat/* is suspended from dry weather; cover with plenty of material that will keep them dry and of even, uniform temperature. Shelters over the hills are not needed if the directions be well fol lowed. The thick covering of straw, or corn-stalks and earth, will prevent the po tatoes from becoming either too hot in warm weather, or too cold in cold weath er, or wet in rainy weather. Cover the apex with pieces of bark or a board. Topping and Harvestihg Tobacco Florida is becoming quite a tobacco-grow ing State. In a comparatively few years it is piobable that it will more than double its present product. Tobacco plants should be topped when the leaves are making their most vigorous growth, so that after topping the}' will continue to grow and attain the highest degree of perfection. The flower stalks should be pinched off below the third upper leaf. It is not advisable to defer top ping till the flowers open, else the leavos will not make as good a growth and the plants will run largely to suckers. These suckers have to be frequently removed. The proper time for harvesting depends upon varied circumstances. Under average conditions the plants are allowed to stand fifteen days after being topped; in a dry and hot season the leaves will ripen in thirteen or fourteen days, and in cold, wet weather sixteen to eighteen days may be required. As the leaves mature they become darker in color and as sume a mottied or marbled appearance; they also lose the fine down on their under side and appear thicker and leathery to the touch, while previously they were soft. The leaves should not be cut until the dew upon them has entirely evaporated. On hot days not more should be cut than can be brought under cover the same day, else there is danger of sunburn; and when cut ting the plants the butts should be placed toward the sun. After the plants have wilted sufficiently, so that they may be handled without breaking the leaves, they are placed in piles of twenty or twenty-five eiach Five or seven plants are then put on each lath, according to the size of the plants, and these laths are conveyed to the shed upona nlajjorm wagon ol rack especially made |br j)he purpose. In flashed the laths should be six or seven inches, to admit of free circulation between 'he plants. Shrinkage of Corn. Prof. Scoville, of Kansas, has been ex perimenting to ascertain the shrinkage in corn after it is ripe and placed in the crib. Reports of his tests are given in the Kansas City Indicator. From which we learn that six different varieties, weighed Oct. 6, and stored jn a room without any artificial heat, showed an average shrinkage of 15L( per cent. 30 days after storage. One variety lost a little over 8 per cent., while with an other the loss was 25 per cent. On Feb. 28, 145 days from date of gathering, the lot was weighed, and the average loss on the whole amounted to 21% per cent., and in one variety, called the mammoth, the loss was exactly one-third, or 33% per cent. From the above the farmer may make a very close calculation as to the advance in price of corn which he must obtain in spring to 11 fake it equal to the loss sustained in shrinkage during winter. Manurial Waste. Under the title of “Money Running Away,” Prof. Roberts, of Cornell University, makes this estimate of waste from a hillside barn yard: At Cornell there were 32 inches of rainfall in the year. The barnyard is 100 by UK) feet, about, one-quarter of an acre. Every inch of rain would make 100 tons for an acre, or 3,300 for the year to an acre, or 8( K) tons for the barnyard. If one-half was leased out it would be 400 tons. Each ton of water leached out would carry off 00c. worth of plant food or $250 worth from the barnyard. It is true, the inky streams run ning from the barnyard down the road into the creek or on the neighbor's lot is the best part of the manure. It is money running away, indeed. Household. To Keep Pickles from Molding.—Take green horseradish leaves or grape, leaves and lay over them. This also gives them a nice flavor; been tried for years. CANNED Tomatoes. —Take ripe tomatoes and pour boiling, water over to skin; boil 30 minutes, fill your glass self-sealing jars and seal as quickly as possible. Canned Beans. —Take butter, case-knife or Lima beans, cook as for the table, boil one hour, season lightly with pep|ier and salt, and fill the jars quite full. They will keep the year round. Canned Peaches.—Pour boiling water ovvr large free stone peaches, remove the skins, divide in half, remove the stone; to every pound of fruit add one-quarter of a pound of sugar : allow them to boil 20 min utes and seul. They are delicious. Mutton and Rice. —lngredients: Cold boiled mutton, boiled rice, four tablespoon fuls of water, seasoning, two eggs, ('hop fine some cold boiled mutton, and to each cupful add a cupful of Ixiiled rice; butter a saucepan, jiour in tho water, add the meat and rice, seasoning, and the eggs beaten. Stir until all are cooked. Peach Pies. —Peel, cut in halves and lay as closely as possible over the crust in a deep pie-plate, with the o|xm part, upward Sprinkle with sugar to taste. Then beat well together a large teacupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one egg, a little vanilla and a pinch of salt, and pour this over the peaches and bake without any upper crust. Eat when partly cool. Canned peaches can be thus used quite well when fresh ones are out of season. Baked Pears.— Pare and cut twelve pears into halves, or. should they be very large, into quartent; leave the stalks on and carefully remove the cores. Place them in a clean ' baking-jar and cut the rind of a lemon into strips, add the juice of half a ieinou and a few cloves, sufficient water to cover the whole, with sugar in the propor tion of oue-haif pound to every pint of water; bake in a cool oven tor five or six lemrs. To improve the color of the fruit a few drojis of prepared cochineal may bo added. Green Corn and Peach Pi ddino.-- One cup of the pulp of green coni, which is ole tained by cutting the kernels with a silver knife anil pressing out the pip with tlw knife lieing careful that the kernels are not loosened from the * ob, one cup of sliced line peaches, cruahed slightly, two tabla THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1887. spoonfuls of sugar and one cup of water. Mix thoroughly, put in an earthen pudding dish, placing thin slices of peach on the top. Bake from 30 minutes to half an hour in a moderate oven. Serve cold. Cucumber Pickijcb. —First make a brine of salt and cold wafer strong enough to bear up an egg. Boil this and |iour it on the cucumbers (this recipe js for a lot of 800, not exceeding two inches iu length), which should previously lie well washed and all the little prickles*removed; let them stand 24 hours in tliis brine. Then take out and wipe dry. with care. Scald vinegar enough to pur over them. Let them remain iu this 24 hours; then pour off and put the pickles in the jars or bottles iu which they are to be left. Now, to one gallon cider vinegar add one quart brown sugar, two large green peppers, one-half pint white mustard seed, Bc. worth each of ginger root, whole cinnamon. Cloves and allspice, one tablespoonful celery seed and alum the size of a butternut. Scald those all well to gether and pour boiling hot water over the cucumbers. If in jars, turn a plate overto keep them well under the vinegar and cover closely. Farm and Stock Notes. Twelve hundred head of sheep sold in Eng land lately for $15,000, the highest price on record at a large sale. P. J. Berckmans, of Augusta, Ga,, says that the Kelsey Japan plum is as hardy as the Wild Goose if worked on native plum stock. Roots are excellent for sheep in winter, and are especially important with heavy grain-feeding to keeping the digestive organs in full vigor. The Seckel pear is the best in quality of all pears. It is a slow grower, however, and it should therefore bo grafted on some stronger stock. Ashes make a good mulch for the quince bush during the winter. In the spring rake the ashes over tlxo soil as far as the roots extend und apply a little salt. A good re turn will be made in fruit. Oats or ensilage are favored in England when com does not thrive. Experiments at Newburn show oat ensilage to be better than roots for fattening, and much better than good hay, either dry or ensilaged. The necessity of keeping the sheep on dry footing should not be forgotten. A yard in which sheep are kept should be one where there is plenty of drainage. Wet footing is the one thing that sheep will not stand. It has been demonstrated that calves pay better when kept until ten or twelve weeks old than when sold as soon as born. They will give a return for all tho milk they con sume, as w ell as lessen the supply of milk marketed. One of the experiment stations decided last year that soaking seed-oats for about two days in a solution of sulphate of cop per—four ounces in a gallon of water—pre vented the appearance of smut in the crop. There may be something in it. The Rural knows of a case occurring within two weeks where, at its suggestion, some fifty lice-infested chicks were cleansed in an hour by the use of pyrethrum powder. It is a safe, posit i ve, cleanly and easily ap plied remedy. Try it, readers, but be sure you get fresh powder. Among the trees most troublesome to drains, in respect to filling them with their roots, are the willow, elm and poplar. Tho common locust (Robinia pscudacacia) should never lie planted near wells. It im parts a disagreeable taste to the water. The inner bark is poisonous. The carrot has more fattening qualities than other roots, and for this reason is par ticularly adapted to sheep, young battle and all animals intended for meat. Carrots will help to fatten animals quickly and with less cost than other roots, and quick fattening produces tender and juicy meat. A writer in the lowa State Register says that he began planting white pines in 1857, and planted them by the thousand trees. They are now large enough for pretty good saw logs and seem to be quite at home in lowa. He settled on his farm twenty years ago and is completely sheltered by a' pine forest. It is a fact that a strong nest of bumble bees in a big clover-field is worth S3O to the owner, for these insects are the chief agents in fertilizing the blossom, thereby insuring a heavy crop of seed. In Australia there are no bumble-bees of our kind, and they could not raise clover-seed until they im ported some. It is thought that at no distant day the culture of tho olive oil will become one of the most important as well as profitable fields of horticultural enterprise with us, as it is at present with many countries in the south of Europe, whose chief revenue is derived from the export of olive oil and pickled olives. An eminent writer says that cream is an innocent, palatable, nutritious luxury for everybody at all times. As an antidote for a tendency to consumption it acts like a charm and serves all the purposes intended to be served by cod-liver oil with much greater certainty and effect. Where sweet cream can be had cod-liver oil is never needed. Prepare trees for planting by cutting tho tops back in proportion to the amouig; of injury done to the roots, which is generally from one-half to two-thirds of the entire top On this pruning all shoots should be entirely cut away that are not needed for the formation of a perfect head, and the others cut back one-half to two-thirds of their length. Are you going to try a few sheep, in quires the Line Stock Indicator , so as to make some mutton and give the family rest from tlw regulation salt pork they have had about 335 days in the year; to,eat down the briars and fence corner weeds; to leave a little of the best fertilizer here and there where it will do the most good, and to raise some staple wool that is ripe for the market and put spot cash into the family exchequer at a time of year when scarcely anything else does! Popular Science. One of the largest britannia firms in New England recommends the following to clean silver: Onc-li(tlf pound of sal-soda added to eight quarts of water; when at a boiling heat dip the pieces of silver, and immedi ately wash in soapsuds and wipe dry with a piece of cottou flannel. A popular fallacy, according to Mr. A. W. Hare, of the Royal Society of Edin burgh, is tho lielief that water from a rush ing torrent is safer for drinking purposes than water from a sluggish stream, for the reverse is really the fact Be wage-contami nated water contains fewer organisms after ten or twelve days than river water, for the reason that th# microbes’ rapid growth during the first two of three days exhausts their rood supply. The purity of the mid-Atlantic air has l>een demonstrated by Prof. F. B. Dennis, of New York, by means of capsules of steril ized gelatine, which were exposed to it on the promenade dock, whore there was free circulation of the atmosphere. In ten days a few points of infection were developed. When exposed in one of the state-rooms over 500 point* Of infection were developed within 18 hour*. But when a capsule was exposed over the bow of tho ship it was found to be entirely untouched. The ex periments show how pure was the mid-ocean air outside the enclosed spaces of the vewei. Mr. Frank Spence has devised a hydrome ter for measuring the strength ana specific gravity of a solution which can lie used in all countries alike. In this instrument the scale is not arbitrary, as in existing instru ments, such a< Baume’sor Beds’. The in ternational hydrometer Is listed on tile sim ple principle of siftittneting fn.m the specific gravity scale the figure 1.0(1 for the constant —water —and leaving the remaining figures to indicate tho regularly hvrcailng or de creasing strength of a solution. To get the specific gravity from Hu-c figures it is only | necessary to mid 1, in the same way tor j liquids lighter than water ths specific grav ity is got hy deducting it from (tie progress ive figures on the scale. Briquettes, or iuel In n ks from coni dust, are growing In favor ami demand In Eu rope. bait-laud has at last fallen into the ranks of briquette making nations. One of the largest coal-mining and pig-iron making firms there is now erecting a plant with a capacity of 300 tons I*l- day. In France and other continental nations the business is large and growing. Jules Uhagotolia, of France, and Carlo Raggio, of Italy, have each increased their plants by one new one annually for the last six years, till now they have a yearly capacity of nearly 350,000 tons' each, t )ther firms have also gone into the business largely. The business is likely to get a start in this country soon, where, as coal dust costs nothing, the profits would be large. _ IN THE BOWELS OF OLD LOOKOUT Remarkable Caves Found In the Mountains, and the Usual Stalag mites and Stalactites. From the St. le >u is Glohedtemocmt. Three miles south of Chattanooga, out of the eastern base of Lookout mountain, a stream of water pours into the valley in a steady volume a foot in width and six inches deep. The flowing of the water ns it comes out of the rocky well is accompanied by a constant current of cold air, and for this cause the natives have named it Blow ing Spring, Some time ago the Grant brothers and McGrath, who own the surrounding mountain side and valley land, conceived the idea that the spring had its source in immense caverns, with which Indian le gends say the interior of Lookout mountain is honeycombed, and they offered a reward of SSO to any one who would explore the-e hidden caves. Tost Saturday a mountain eer named Alex Smith appeared at the office of Grant Brothers and claimed the reward He brought several stalagmites and stalactites of remarkable size and beauty, and of many curious shapes, to gether with small crystals and fragments of rock which were seamed with what ap peared to lie silvei, lead and copper. The Grant Brothers told the mountaineer they would give him the promised SSO and another half a hundred on top of it if he would verity his find by taking them over the ground of his explorations. Accord ingly a party, consisting of M. and H. IV. Grant, J. w, McGrath. S. B. Logan, the successful gas well liorer, and representa tives of the daily papers took carriages and drove to Blowing Spring this morning at 5 o’clock. After breakfasting at a farm house, dressing themselves in heavy flannel clothing, and providing themselves with miners’ lamps, tho party, under the leader ship of Smith, began their tortuous entrance to the cave. The explorers had to take the water from the start, crawling along in the lied of a narrow stream on their hands and knees, and often doing the snake act on their stomach for hundreds of feet, at, a time. When they left the open air the tem perature stood at 80’, and the water in tiie cavity was 40’. This mode of progress was kept up for more than an hour, when a cav ity on The right of the stream was entered, and the party proceeded in a half bent, at titude along a winding passage floored with sand and obstructed by bowlders and ir regular blocks of rotten limestone until they reached a chamber of an oval shape. 50 feet wide and 75 feet in length, and about 25 feet high. Here the first stalagmites and stalaetites of any considerable size were found. Many of the former rose to a height of ten feet, and the latter hung down from the ceiling almost low enough to touch tho heads of the beholders. Some time was spent in exam ining the outer edges of this subterranean apartment. Several pieces of rock were knocked off with small hammers from the jutting ledges on ono .aide of the cave, and under the lamplight showed unmistakably evidence of the presence of either silver or lead ore. Following their guide the men left this chamber, and after clambering up a long, steep passage which led in the di rection of the top of Lookout Mountain tor more than half an hour, deseefidM for a dis tance of nearly 100 yards, leaping like mountain goals from rook to rock and then entered a long gallery, which ran alongside a stream for nearly half a mile. This gallery had others opening into it at right angles and irregular intervals, and its wals were crusted with myriads of tiny crystals that glistened like diamonds in the light of the lamps, A sudden turn in the tortuous passage brought the party into a large hall over two acres in extent. Every one stood rooted to the ground with astonishment. In the middle of this immense opening glit tored the crystal waters of a lake, and from its centre rose a miniature island, from whose bosom, uplifted to a height of nearly fifteen feet, rose a tall, symmetrical stalag mite; that bore a perfect resemblance to a Gothic tower, white at the top, and of yel lowish tint at the base. Urmarets, bastions, and terraces were as accurately traced in its outlines as if they had lieen fastened by the tiand of a human architect, This large central tower was surrounded by others smaller in size and height,, and of divers si 1 a lies and colors but all bearing a singular resemblance to architectural forms. The floor of the cave surrounding the lake was smooth as glass and of a blackish gray hue. like the marble formed in the white oaks region in Southern New Mexico. It was covered with bright pebbles of many cqlore and varying in dimensions from the size of a pin’s head to that of a walnut. Many of these were gathered by the explor ing party, and are pronounced to lie opals. Borne of the specimens collected are said to !>e larger and more flawless than those found in the neighborhood of Ghihuahua. The ceiling of this vast, underground cavern, which was dome shaped and forty feet above the miniature lake, was thick with pendant stalactites arranged as if nature in placing thorn there had tried her hand at lincnista work. On benches of rock rising like ter races on the eastern side of this apartment were arranged huge stalactites, grotesquites Is-iiring the sliupes of recumbent, auimals. Among these latter Mr. McGrath found and detached from its fastenings one that, looked like a petrified turtle. No fish were found in the lake, but on one side of it were seen the footprints of raccoon and liear. A crawling brook came out of one side of the rocky wall and foil the lake with its waters. A careful examina tion showed that the lake had no outlet. There is but one passage loading into this immense cavern. It is the supposition of many that these cavee were known to the In dians, and there are evidences that they used them as places for retreat during war and as burial places for their dead On their return trip the party explored many smaller caves. In one of them indications of gyp sum and iron were found, and in another, which is not more t han 300 yards from the mouth on tho side of Lookout Mountain, they came u[)on a bubbling spring, which Mr. Logan says, gives unmistakable evi dence 01 the presence of natural gas. He Felt Grateful. From the Merchant Traveler. The hammock squeaked unheeded as it rubls-d the bark off the old man’s favorite sycamore tree. “Gertrude,” lie said, “huve you ever felt that your heart beat responsive to that of another!” “I have, George,” owned up Gertie, and her head nestled on his shoulder. “Did you ever feel that your destiny was so linked to that of another that it was use less to try to follow it out alone?” “Yes, George,” returned Gertie, as she nestled some more. “Gertrude, I will ask you more plainly, do yon love me?” “I will not attempt to conceal my feel ings, George; I do. “Well,” said George, sliding out of the hammock, “I’m glint to hoar that, because Will Tompkins Is-t. me a box of cigars the other day that you were just Indulging in a little flirtation. lam really much obliged to you for the assurance, and—” But ( •artic had gone into tho house and slammed the door with all her might. - —■- - ; ZStBSSttSSS Young or middle aged men, suffering from nervous debility or kindred affections, should nddrem with Idc. in stamps tor large, treatise, Work!’* Dispensary Medical Asso ciation, 883 Main street, Buffalo, N.
