Texas Blue Grasa.
It-. 0 Oregon experiment ptation gives the
I foUowing note on this valuable grass, show-
I what a wide range of latitude it is
I Rented to:
I -piints of this grass were obtained from
I the Kansas experiment station and planted
I October. From the time of planting
I the grass has grown rapidly, throwing out
I namerous shoots from its root stocks, com-
I nletely filling the spaces between the rows.
I This is a very promising grass, having the
I marks of Kentucky blue grass, but more
.xorous. larger leaved, and gives promise
of being most valuable acquisition to our
list of grasses.
"It will he tested In eastern and southern
(won the coming season, where there are
reasons for thinking it will prove a most
valuable grass. As far north as Kansas
Prof Shelton says it endures the winters
ind resists.the drought perfectly, making
three or four times as much pasture or hay
s'does its near relative, Kentucky blue
grass.”
When this valuable winter and spring
nasture grass becomes as widely dissemi
nated in the south as Bermuda is our coun
try will become the greatest stock producing
section in the world. For winter and spring
pasture there is no grass that can possibly
equal it. Our stock growers should adopt
this grass immediately.
Blights In Vegetablee.
If we compare the animal and vegetable
kingdom with each other, we observe, says
Farm, and Fireside, the close similarity
between them, indicating that the life
which pervades both is the same kind,
though different in degree. The stems and
branches of a plant may be compared to the
skeleton of an animal, the pith of young
trees and shrubs to the spinal marrow; the
upward current of sap in the spring, and its
descent in summer and autumn, is like the
circulation of the blood. The exhalation of
oxygen and absorption of carbonic acid in
the leaves, which are the lungs of plants,
resembles the respiration of animals.
Animals are subject to diseases caused
by filthy habits, vitiation of the air, over
crowding or famine;so are plants unhealthy
by improper cultivation or unsuitable
meteorological condition. Animal epidem
ics are supposed to be caused by animal
poison; so the blights of plants are caused
by vegetable parasites.
All vegetable blights are caused by dif
ferent species or forms of one great group
of fungi. There are forms, such as those
affecting the cereal crops, that are continu
ously apfiearing season after season, found
more or less in every field. Fungi, as a
class, vegetate on decayed substances. They
are not, strictly speaking, true parasites, as
they are incapable of contending with the
vital force of plants when healthy and
growing. They require a dead and decom
posing matrix. They are incapable of
eliminating the elements on which they sub
sist from living substances.
In most oases, the process of decay must
be quite far advanced; the withered leaf or
branch must have falleu from the tree and
been exposed for a considerable time to the
decomposing influence of the weather, be
fo:any fungi make their appearance upon
it. Though this be the habit of the family
generally, there are striking exceptions.
There is one group whose peculiarity is to
grow only on living plants in the manner of
true parasites; tbey appear on the healthiest
aid most luxuriant individuals and are
never found ou dead or decaying sub
stances. The blights that affect cultivated
phnts are of two groups—those which in
fest the cereals, and those which infest green
crops, whether of the garden or field.
Early in spring they are found on the
young blades; later in the season they affect
the glumes and pollen of the ear. Thoy at
tack the straw, the leaves and chaff, the
flower and the grain. When they apeear
on the straw they olose up the stomata, or
breathing pores, which serve for the gaseous
and vaporous exhalation of the corn, and
thus impart to it a sickly appearance.
When occurring on the grain, they altet its
substances altogether; the sap which should
have produced the nutritious, milky ker
nels being appropriated by the parasite, and
converted in its tissues into dust and ashes,
masses of black and poisonous decay.
The genus Botrytis belongs to the potato
parasite, and contains several species which
are exceedingly destructive to the plant.
They are the most common and abundant
of ail fungi. Onions, cabbages, turnips,
beet root, peas, spinach—almost all the green
crops we raise—suffer severely from this
blight.
The fungus which causes the vine epidemic
1b minute, covering the affected grape like a
white cobweb. It maxes its appearance as a
minute speck on the grape when about the
size of a pea. It speedily enlarges and cov
ers the entire surface of the berry, exhaust
ing its superficial juices and orushing it
within its embrace. One species luxuriates
on the grave; another is concerned in the
prr cess of fermentation. Thisstrange veg
etable stalacite grows in no other vaults
than those devoted to wine. Even when
the wine is drawn off into a decanter, a
meddling fungus follows it, develops* itself
first on tue cork, and having penetrated its
spawn, sends down long, root-like append
ages into the liquor, exhausting it of its
rich aroma.
Seed Industry.
Few persons, says the New York World,
whether farmers are not, realize the magni
tude attained by the seed business in this
country. As compared with olden times,
when every farmer grew his own garden
seeds or went without, unless he could bor
row of a more provident neighbor, the in
crease in this branch of agriculture has
been a phenomenal one. By common con-,
sent it seems to be understood that growing
seeds, especially such as are to be used in
flower and vegetable gardens, is best done
by those wbo make it a specialty and, in ad
dition to being large producers, provide
themselves with all the appliances necessary
for the proper harvesting, cleaning and
finally putting into acceptable packages
the multitude of varieties now in the mar
ket.
In no other business has the buyer to take
so much on trust. Here, fortunately for
both buyer and producer, a good name is the
seedsman’s surest and quickest passport to
success. Only by the convincing logic of
go and results exhibited in plants true to their
names from trustworthy seeds have lead
ing seedsmen gained widespread promin
ence. .
One of the things to be guarded against
in the use of seeds grown at a distance is the
introduction of new varieties of noxious
weeds. Tbe danger attacnes chiefly to grass
and grain seeds grown by farmers for sale,
but yearly beooming lees from the use of
better machines for cleansing from impuri
ties and the more critical inspection to which
they are being subjected.
Many of our foremost seedsmen have dis
continued the practice of distributing seed
among small country stores, to be sold on
commission. The old custom of receiving
back all that remained unsold, and again
sending out such varieties as under favora
ble conditions are known to retain their
vitality for two or more seasons, bas
brought this system into disrepute. This is
no more than should be expected from a
system by which the seeds, while on sale,
are subjected to damaging exposures, some
times standing ont in the sun for months to
attract attention. In the southern states a
year must of necessity render seeds thus
exposed very doubtful,’ if not wholly worth
ies*.
The tendency now among leading seeds
men and tbe demands of their customers
are to restrict th sale of seeds to those of
the last season’s growth. The failure to
germinate, of whioh complaints are so often
made and which is so frequently charged to
the poor quality of the seed, is quite often
due to the mannsr of planting or unfavora
ble weather during the time for germina
tion. Many plants prove battsr when the
seeds are grown at a distance from the
place where they are to planted. This, how
ever, is not of universal application, and
ought not to deter farmers and gardeners
from their own crops when said crops have
proven satisfactory and are free from dis
ease.
Some of the seed catalogues devote large
space to showy illustrations of mammoth
fruits and vegetables. Others are veritable
guidos to field and garden oulture, with
their practical reading matter about the
plants and seeds catalogued, and tbe simple
but comprehensive directions given for
planting, cultivating and harvesting the
same. These catalogues, as a rule, are sent
to any address free of cost on written ap
plication, especially when the writer renum
bers to incluss a stamp for return postage.
Tlie present is a convenient season for look
ing over these descriptive manuals, aud
making out one’s orders for the seeds re
quired for another season.
Food fttr Milk.
Green or succulent food does not produce
thin milk or milk containing a small per
cent, of solids, according to resuits of work
done at the New Hampshire experiment
station. The morning and evening milk of
three cows was tested for a year, about 2,000
analyses being made, says Farm and Home.
It was found that when the cows were
turned out to green grass, tbe average
amount of milk they gave was increased
two pounds per head daily, while the fat in
this milk was slightly increased. When
ensilage was fed, not only the quantity of
milk but the amount of both fat and
caseine (or cheese) was increased. Hence
the conclusion that green foods means
richer milk. In another case twelve cows
were fed ou cornmeal, middlings and gluten
meal, and when the gluten was substituted
for part of the cornmeal, the flow of milk
was much increased, and in most cases the
fat was slightly increased also. When the
feed was changed back, the reverse was the
case, but the butter was much harder with
corn than with gluten meal. Gluten meal,
it should be stuted, is a by-product from tbe
manufacture of corn starch, and is prac
tically a grade of cornmeal containing one
third as much starch and twice as much
nitrogenous or flesh and milk-producing ele
ments as clear cornmeal. These experiments
afford another proof of the act that it is
possible to considerably obange the amount
of milk a cow will give but not to make
much change in its composition.
Milking Hours.
Punctuality in milking hours, says the In
diana Farmer, is of the utmost import
ance and tor the best resu ts is quite as es
sential as regularity in feeding. The time
for morning and evening milking should be
divided as equally as the season of the year
will permit and tbe hours selected be ad
hered to rigidly. A striot observance of
this rule will result—all other things being
in accord —in a constant, even flow during
'the entire milking term.and increased profit
will be the reward. Too little attention is
given to this feature on the dairy farm. The
cows are milked, especially in busy seasons,
at auy time most convenient after ocher
work i* attended to; this is invariably at
tended with loss and causes a shrinkage in
milk that is not easily regained. Method
and system both in milking and feeding
must be carefully observed to secure the
highest measures of return from the cows,
and upon the faithful performance of these
duties depends in a high degree the success
or failure of the business.
A Ration of Cotton Seed Meal.
Henry Morse of Delaware county, New
York, wbo has become wealthy by dairying,
says that be has fed cotton seed meal to Ills
oows for eight years, the first four in con
nection with other grains and after that
pure, except while the cows were dry and
on coarse fodder they were given wheat
bran and suoh grain as was produced on
the farm. As soon as the cows came in full
milk they were given hoy twice a day and
three quarts of cotton seed meal in the
morning aud two quarts at night. The
morning ration of meal was mixed with six
quarts of sweet, skimmed milk. When at
pasture they received two quarts of tne
meal a day. Following this practice he was
able to keep 25 per cent, more cows and
make 20 per cent, more butter per cow than
by any other grain method. The manure
from the oows fed so heavily on cotton seed
meal was very rioh and gave about double
the orops of bay that other manures gave.
The pastures also show it, and the increased
value of the manure nearly pays for the
cotton seed meal.
Black Walnut.
To raise blaok walnut trees, says an ex
change, gather the nuts when fully ripe this
fall and plant them in rows, dropping a nut
•very six inches, covering two or three
inches deep. If the soil is light ami very
rich, the seedlings will produce a larger
number of fibrous roots than if planted on
a heavy clay or loam. When the eeedliDgs
are one year old dig up and cut away about
one-half the length of the tap root and
then replant in nursery rows, placing the
plants about two feet apart in the rows,
and the rows should be at least four feet
apart to admit of cultivating the trees with
plow and cultivator. When the trees have
reached a hight of from (our to six feet dig
up and plant them where wanted around
your farm. But we would not advise any
one to plant black walnut trees in Alabama,
where he can just as well raise English wal
nuts and European chestnuts, which in a
few years would yield an annual crop of
nuts worth more than mature black wal
nut trees.
The Beet Varieties.
Competition is so close, says Vick's
Magazine, that the successful grower of
any crop finds it necessary to raise only the
best varieties, or those that sell most
readily in his market. Practically, what
brings the best returns is the best variety to
raise, and what this is, whether of fruit
or vegetables, depends cm the reputation the
variety has established in any given locality.
Growers of vegetables can never give up an
interest in procuring seeds of the best varie
ties that are brought out, and this season of
tbe year they can profitably look over the
whole field—raking into consideration their
own experience and observation, learning
from others in the same work, aDd especially
studying up all the printed information on
the subject. The strawberry grower, mak
ing, as he does, anew plantation every
year, must be equally vigilant in keeping
abreast of the times, and the same is true in
relation to all horticultural crops.
Depth of Planting Potatoes.
We have worked at the problem of best
depth for many years, says an exchange,
and finally have settled upon four inches
under average conditions. This is deep
enough to get tbe roots into the stratum of
perpetual moisture, and afford ample room
for tne tubers to form between the ssod

piece and the surface of the ground. Of
course we practi e level culture, or nearly
teat. Wnen planting small seed pieces’,
especially single eyes, however, which we
seldom do, three inches depth Is probably
better, especially if tne soil is not m really
perfect condition as to mellowness. Single
eyes are usually slow to come dd , and man v
pieces fail altogether, if the conditions of
growth are not all oerfect. People wbo
practice hilling—which we do not advise—
may plant nearer to tbe surface. Deeper
planting then four inches involves too much
labor in digging to suit us.
Planting a Peach Orchard.
Be sure that the seed from whioh tbe
stocks were raised were taken front healthy
trees, or select the seed and bud yojtr own
trees, says W. F. Massey, horticulturist,
N. C. Experiment station. Don’t say you'
don’t believe in budded trees. You must use
budded trees if you ship fruit to market,
for in no other way can you have auy
knowledge of the varieties you are growing,
and In no other way con you have the sorts
known to the dealers. Budded trees worked
on healthy stocks are just as healthy and
long-lived as seedling trees if taken care of.
The man who plants a large orchard of
seedling peaches will surely "get left" in the
matter of profit so far as shipping the fruit
is concerned. lie may dry them or put
them into brandy, but whea there is a crop
of good fruit he will not be able to sell half
of them. •
In Field and Garden.
After a period of comparative idleness
the tiller of the soil renews with hopefulness
the culture of his field. The old year, with
its successes or failures is behind him. If
success rewarded his efforts the past year
be enters upon tbe work of the new year
with the cheerful determination to make it
equal if not surpass the results of tbe past.
On the other hand, if through storm or
drought, or accident or bad judgment his
crops have fallen below the measure of his
expectations, in the springtime of his hope
ful toil he still enters the contest with more
or less pleasing expectation that culture will
respond more generously to his efforts the
coming year than it did the past one. It is
certainly a wise arrangement of providenoe
that hope should spring eternal in the hu
man breast, and that the farmer is to be
pitied who has not a fair measure of that
hopefulness to sweeten his toil aud quicken
his energies in the laborious contest with
the thorns and briars that has been prom
ised to every son of Adam who seeks a live
lihood from the culture of tbe soil. The
farmer who enters upon the new year of
toil dispirited aud distrustful is like a
wind-broken steed starting upon a four
mile race. He may run a mile or
two, but will very likely fly the track or
drop down before the goal is reached.
There are no doubt a few farmers of this
kind, but, fortunately, 1 believe, not many.
Asa class they toe the mark every New
Year cheerfully and hopefully, and prob
ably, if the truth be known, for one that is
lacking in hope there are a half dozen that
are rather unreasonably hopeful—that is,
they expect more from their worn soils than
it is possible for them to give.
The energetic, stirring farmer is almost
invariably the most hopeful, the lazy one
the least so. An energetic man, farmer or
whatnot, has a legitimate right to be hope
ful, very hopeful, but good judgment
should guard him from unreasonable ex
pectations. The moral effect of disappoint
ing one’s self is not good. It is muoh better
to expect ten bales of ootton aud make
twelve than to count on twenty aud make
only thirteen.
The farmer who views with satisfaction a
period of rainy weather in the spring as an
oxouse for rest and repose is not the farmer
that is likely to make a success of farming.
Such a farmer has no legitimate right to
hopefulness, and the farmer who expects to
harvest a bale of cotton from an acre of
medium land without manuring it liberally
may be set down as unreasonably hopeful.
February has been a rainy month’so far,
and very little bas been done in the way of
plowing. Asa rule February is compara
tively dry and affords seasonable weather
for preparing the soli, but it has not been
the case this year in Middle Georgia.
Advantage should be taken of all suitable
weather to get the preparatory work done.
All land nearest to tne barn or compost
yard that is in need of stable manure or lot
scrapings should be furrowed and the ma
nure hauled out and applied in tbe furrows.
Not that this is the best way to apply such
manure, but it is the way to make a small
quantity of manure go farther. It is the
plan usually followed by our formers. For
plants with long roots, as corn and cotton
and tbe like, it is a most irrational method
of manuring, but farmers make so little
stable manure they will persist in putting it
in drills.
Whero stable manure is drilled it is al
ways advisable to put it in two or three
months ahead of planting. It is not nearly
so apt to fire the crop, for by renewed fer
mentation it loses its tendency to burn, and
the elements of fertility that are in the man
ure is more evenly distributed in tbe soil
and the manure loses its rankness, so that it
will not fire the crop when dry weather sets
in. There is no loss of fertilizing elements,
for the surrounding soil absorbs all of them
and holds them for the use of the plant. At
this season of the year there is no percept
ible loss of the ammonia even that is con
tained in the manure. If tbe rows are per
fectly horizontal and net liable to washing
there will be no lass even if the manure is
left uncovered for several months.
In an experience of twenty years we have
found that commeroial fertilizers produce
their best result on the first crop by beiug
applied two or three months in advance of
planting. Of course this is not the case
with nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia,
but it is true in regard to the phosphate afd
potash fertilizers, said it is especially true
in reference to bone meal, the most valuable
fertilizer that oan be used on any soil or in
any climate. Nitrate of soda aad sulphate
of ammonia are only valuable for the amonia j
that they contain, and both are highly
soluble, and should always be used as a top
dressing after the crop has been started. It
will not do at all to put either of these deep
in the soil.
This is a busy month in the garden.
Below the 32d parallel of latitude there Is
hardly a garden plant to be named that it is
not proper to sow or plant out either in the
open ground or in the oold frames.
If not already planted, potatoes, beets,
carrots, parsnips, salsify, kale, spinach,
turnips and cabbage should be planted
without further delay. The first planting
of garden corn should be made. It may
be cut down by a late frost, but if trodden
in it is not apt to be hurt by being cut down.
Now is a good time to sow onion seed.
The Italian or Spanish varieties are the best
for our latitude, and if sown now from the
seed they will make fine onions by June,
that can be kept until winter. Ex ept for
immediate use sets should be entirely dis
carded in the south, for we can grow as
fine onions from the seed as can be grown
in Vermont or Massachusetts. If fresh
seed are used, the New Queen, the several
Rocca varieties and the Prize Taker will
make an onion as easily as we can grow a
turnip.
Everyone who is so situated as to allow of
having it should by all means have a garden
and cultivate it properly. Besides furnish
ing a wholesome and enjoyable addition to a
very common bill of fare it affords a pleas
ant resort to the ordinary man of business,
who might work off bis dyspepsia in it; to
the wearied woman of family, whose cur
rent of thoughts may be agreeably diverted,
and to the children, who get pleasure from
everything and divine instruction from
nature’s object lessons so readily.
There is hardly any occupation that give*
more of true pleasure than that of garden
ing, and Ibe world would be better for it if
every man, woman and child would culti
vate a fondness for the art.
So manifold, all-pleasing In their kind,
All-healtnful are the employs of rural life;
Reiterated as the wheel of time
Runs round, still ending and beginning still.
6 0r. 7 ABOUT JIM L ANT.
Two Lies That No One Believed, but
Which Answered Eia Purpose.
From the Kansas dtp Star.
It was March I, 1861, and a special elec
tion was pending to fill a vacancy in the
Kansas House, in tbe Eighth distr.ct, in
Douglas county. The codidates were Wal
ter B. Davis and L. I*. Jones, the former
Lane and the latter anti-Lane in politic*.
The contest was heat'd abtut
seven times hotter than usual, even for
those days. The leader of the opt* sition
in Clinton was Alf Curtis, a lawyer
of seme note, an ambitious politician who
had been in tbe territorial legislature two
year* before. Ho was somehow "lost in
tbe shuffle’’ and died too soon. He was an
active fellow and made no end of trouble
for the followers of Lane around Clinton.
The "grim chieftain" appointed a meeting,
and gave it out that there was going to be
trouble. That was enough; the whoiecoun
try was on hand.
Lane was behind time, as usual, but not a
man moved or became impatient. When he
had at last arrived they made wav for him
as though he had been a king. He strode
to the platform, and, handing Us hat to one
of throe nearest him and his cloak to an
other, without introduction or preliminary
remarks began his speech. His words were
incisive, his sentences epigrammatic, and
his manner violent from the start. He re
viewed the Kansas struggle in fewer words
and with greater force than would have
been possible for auy other man of his time.
As he proceeded he unloosened his vocabu
vocabulary of invectives and hurled ana
themas right and left. Men dodged as if
from measles, and quaked under his denun
ciation like children in a thunder-storm.
He threw aside his coat, then his vest, and
finally tore his collar from bis neck and ex
posed his hairy, bull-dog breast. His long
hair tossed from side to side, his bony arms
assailed imaginary foes in every direction,
hi* eyes glistened like a oiaduia i’s, aud
tobacco saliva dropped from the corners of
his cruel mouth.
He claimed everything. He was the
savior of Kansas. Hta friends were the
disciples of a savior and their opponents
were public enemies and outlaws. He set
up men of straw and knocked them down
promiscuously. He attributed to his op
ponents the most preposterous sentiments,
and imputed sayings that would have
shamed a thief. Auy other man would
have been mobbed or hooted out of the
country. Aud vt he was received as one
inspired and lis aayi ugs as gospel. It
would have boen a roaring farce if it had
not been a raging tragedy.
Finally Curt,a called him a liar.
Lane glanced at him but finally wont on.
Presently, as if a thought hal strucx him,
he sprang to his coat and snatched a piece
of paper from his pocket. Than, opening it
before the audience, he said: "Here is the
evidence for what I say: Here is a letter
written by Alf Curtis to this man Jones, in
which be teils him to never mind the set
tlers in the Rock Creek valley, because thoy
are only damned oornbread caters. I quote
his exact language.”
‘‘You’re a liar,” shouted Curtis.
Suddenly lowering his voice from his
customary shriek to a conversational tone,
Lane said: “My friends, Jim Lane is no
saiut. But back on the old Indiana home
stead he learned some cardinal truths and
imbibed some sterling principles from bis
old mother—God bless her. In those old
days of primitive honesty, when we were
glad to get cornbread to eat, he was taught
to respect woman's virtue, and although he
may have been derelict in other directions,
and it is his constant lament that he is not a
better man, Jim Lane never took advantage
of a woman. Jim Lane a libertine! Great
God!”
This exclamation he fairly shrieked. Then
he continued in a quieter tone: “Jim Lane
never took advantage of his position with
a little brief authority as a member of the
Kansas legislature at Topeka to beguile a
fair girl, the idol'qf pareugj, from the
path of virtue and .basely hetrav her, and
then laugh at her calamity until, in her
desperation, she thnplY, hermit in the path of
a prairie fire and was oOnsufnsiL- Aud vet.
Great God I Alf Contis did that wary iking.”
The meeting wM’iftWantty adjourned by
a wave of Lane'B hand, and in the'"throng
and darkness and -Wild tumult ©f applause
Curtis was powerless t*j utter a word in de
nial. And yet notla man beHevbd either lie.
They admired the tsflroF a mad whose fer
tile brain could eyolve suoh subterfuges as
the cornbread story and the seduction slan
der. Lane boasted of it outside to his
henchmen before he left the crowd.
Davis was elected.
Joues was killed at Wilson’s creek.

Ayers Pills
Are everywhere considered the most effect
ive remedy for costiveness, indigestion, and
sick-lieadaohe. Beiug sugar-coated and
purely vegetable, they are without equal as
a family medicine. For all derangements of
the digestive and excretory organs, no other
pills are so universally approved.
“ For a long time my wife was a sufferer
from dysentery, the best physicians in this
section being unable to afford her any re
lief. At length we concluded to try Ayer’s
Pills, and after taking three boxes she was
cured.”—J. B. Smith, Blue Ridge Springs,Va.
“ During the past 28 years I have used
Ayer’s Pills in my family for ail derange
ments of the stomach, liver, and bowels, and
also for colds. They have never failed to
benefit.” Prof. Chauncy Herdsman, A. M.,
Business College, Woodside, Newark, N. J.
“Ayer’s Pills are the best I have ever used
for headaches, and they act like a charm in
relieving any disagreeable sensation in the
stomach after eating.”—Mrs. M. J. Ferguson,
