On Vegetable Culture.
SWEET POTATOES.
Xbe sweet potato is usually a field crop
with southern tarmers, as it is rarely admit
ted into the precincts of the garden, but
sometimes it is a good plan to treat it as a
garden vegetable. On good garden soil it is
not a very difficult matter to make from
30(fto 500 bushels of sweet potatoes on an
acre. This is a crop that intensive culture
pays on. Five dollars to $lO worth of suita
ble potato manure, with two to four extra
eultivatings beyond what the field crop
usually receives, will make a difference
oftentimes of several hundred bushels on
one acre.
How to manage an acre to make it pro
duce several hundred bushels may be stated
as follows:
Tako fair, gray sandy soil and lay it off
at three feet, making the furrows bread and
shallow. Some weeks before planting out
time comes make a mixture as follows:
Five hundred pounds of pure bone dust, 500
pounds of oak or hickory ashes that have
been rotted, but not leached one hundred
pounds of common salt. Mix these ingre
dients together thoroughly, and spread the
compouud over the furrows, and then list
upon it. Do this some time in March or
early April. When the potato plants are
nearly ready for setting out replow the
laud, splitting open the bed deoply with a
scooter and bedding back on this furrow
mth four furrows. Set the plants fifteen
Inches apart on the bed. It will take a lit
tle over 1,100 plants to set an acre at this
distance—to wit: three feet by fifteen
inches.
There is no reason in the world why these
hills should not average at the lowest cal
culation one quart of potatoes to the bill,
ael this would give a total product of 34‘J
bushels per acre. Good land, properly fer
tilized with mineral fertilizer and culti
vated as it should be can. be made to dou hie
the yield—whicn is to say two quarts per
hid. We have no doubt whatever that a
premium of SI,OOO offered for the largest
yieid of sweet potatoes on one acre would
pioduce a yield of 1,000 bushels per
acre if twenty-fivo or more persons com
peted for the premium. We hope the
dmerfoetn Agriculturist will next season
do fur tho sweet potato whut it has done for
the Irish potato, and show the farmers of
the country how largo a crop is possible on
one acre.
Of the two theswoet potato is much more
desirable at least for the south if we were
restricted to one, but fortunately we can
have both to perfection.
Sweet potatoes can be grown on the same
land for many years, noediug only a fair
application of the mineral elements from
tune to time. There is no crop cultivated
that so thoroughly shades the 6oil from
J uly to October as does the sweet potato.
This dense shading of the soil, as is well
known, is productive of tho formation of
of nitrate (nitrogen), and aftor
the first year or two the poorest soil will
bo found to posses an ample supply of nitro
gen for the further production of sweet po
tato crops, any further application of fer
tilizer being confined ontirely to the mineral
elements, phosphoric acid, potash and lime.
There are a great many more •‘varieties'’
of tweet potatoes planted in the south than
there should be. Many growers are satis
lied with some very inferior kind3 that have
crept in gradually du ring the past twenty
five or thirty years, and grievously adul
terated once Bplendid varieties that
were so generally cultivated forty or fifty
years ago. TV e have no doubt it is tho case
elsewhere as it Is here, that it is a very
difficult matter to find any large quantity
of the ober Georgia yam or the pink skin
Spanish. These two varieties are unsur
passed by any others as to quality, though
perhaps not quite so productive as some
others. The potato most extensively grown
in tliis section now is the kind generally
known as the pumpkin yam, whioh, though
inferior for table use to the two just men
tioned, is much superior to several other
kinds that are largely planted in Georgia.
Avery inferior potato, known as the
"Hayti yam,” or Bt. Domingo yam, is very
extensively grown in Georgia. Itisagood
kind to grow for stock, but for table use it
is very inferior, inferior even to the white
yam (pink skin), that is euphoniously desig
nated as the “uiggor ldlier.”
As we have remarked before, there is no
better work for our southern experiment
station! to do than that of reducing to
order the now very much confused nomen
clature of our sweet potatoes and separat
ing the poor from the better and more de
sirable varieties. Our several southern sta
tions co-operating together can, in the
course of eight or ten years, weed out all
inferior varieties and classify all such as are
worthy of oulture, perhaps introducing to
cultivation some now and desirable kinds
from tho seeds. The sweet potato is no
doubt subject to the same deterioration
that the Irish potato is from loDg continued
cultivation from cuttings or sprouts and new
varieties started from the seed is something
to be sought after. Surely our stations in
the southern states will not neglect this
very important matter. The station that
fully acoomplißhea tills work will cover it
self with glory and make full compensation
tor the money expended upon it. As it is
now some varieties are much more product
’ve than others. Some are much bettor
keepers. In these respects such as are in
ferior should be discarded as soou as possi
ble.
Anew variety of potato has lately been
introduced into cultivation that is quite
distinct from all others previously grown,
it is styled the “Vineless" potato. It la an
excellent quality of yam, and makes a
bush instead of vino. Tho originator sent
us a few pocatOßs this year, and we dis

Pea Vines for Hay.
he clay pe a i Si wo believe, regarded as
s * f f r ma kiufs vinos next after theConcb,
ui therefore it would rank highest for a
hay- makiag planti , ay , the Florida Far .
t**r. U ben well cared for, pea vine hay is
superior even to the famous clover of the
north for milch stock ; in fact, ills quite un
surpassed in the line of dry feed for this
pxirpose. o n r i c b „bey may be sown
Broadcast-about at the rate of a bushel
*“* 0 haJ I por acre and turned in Ugntty
with a turn plow. On poor land they should
be drilled in rows three feet apart and culti
vated a little.
The usual practice is to sow the pease be
tween tho rows of corn when the latter is
‘laid by," and this is a practice which is
economical of labor and expense in one re
spect, yet we doubt its superiority in the
long run. Any system which will fecth on
haying in the rai ny season is a poor one;
and the saving of labor which may result
from sowing among the corn will bo coun
terbalanced, if not more, by the wretched,
unsatisfactory fussing of trying to make
hay at a time when it rains from two to
fourteen times a week.
The writer’s experience in making pea
vine hay has been limited, but he made
clover hay for years, often in rainy
weather.
The Florida farmer has one great advan
tage over the northern farmer, because he
has a season in the fall which is certain to
bo dry and admirable for hay-making,
while the northern farmer has a short hay
growing season, and is liable to be caught
in the rain any time of the year.
Rath6r than attempt to make hay, and
above all out of such thick stalked, succu
lent plants as cow pea vines, in the rainy
season, wo would cut the corn all off, plow
under the stubbles, erabgrass and all, and
sow the peas as a special crop, to be made
into hay in the latter part of Septembef or
in October.
Cow pea vines are the poorest possible
material to make hay of in wet weather, as
they absorb a shower almost like a
spongue.
As to curing, the same general rule 9 ap
ply as were given last week for erabgrass
hay. The cutting should not bo too early in
tho morniug, because dew will not dry off
as fast from a mass of vines lying on the
ground as it will from the standing plants.
Neither do we believe there is any gain in
leaving the plants to grow until the pease
are nearly ripe in the pods, but rather a loss.
While they are growing they derive thoir
support largely- from the atmosphere, but
as soon as the seed begins to form they rap
idly exhaust the elements of fertility In the
soil.
More than that, pea vines which are cured
green and aromatic as Young Histon tea
are very attractive to the cow and will in
crease secretion of milk much more than
that which has become dry and woody,
even with the pods and pease added. A
horse would grind the pease fine and derive
nourishment from them, butacow will very
imperfectly masticate them and not re
ceive from them, coarsely cracked as they
are, anywhere near an equivalent for tne
rich, dried juicess of green-cut hay.
When pea vine hay is cut in the rainy
season, in order to cure it at all, tho farmer
will have to resort to sundry devices, as, for
instance, piling it up around poles in tall,
slim stacks for several days, or building it
up in rail pens, a layer of vines, then, a
layer of rails, etc., all of which is wretched
puddering.
But after the rainy season is over pea vine
bay can be made with comfort, but by piling
it in tall cocks, to be doubled and redoubled
as they gradually dry out.
. The Meliiotus in Texas.
In a previous number we referred to this
splendid plant os one worthy of being
adopted by our Georgia farmers as a hay
and pasture plant and soil Improver. A re
cent article in the Stockman and Farmer
says: The climate of Texas is not adapted
for the successful cultivation of most of
the clovers found to be so profitable in other
states, and the owner of poor or worn out
soil has not been able to avail himself of
that great restorer of fertility. But a de
scription of the melitotus, given by Eli
Shepperd in Home and Farm, suggests its
adaptability in many sections of Texas.
Mr. Shepperd iu describing a model planta
tion in Alabama and the crops grown on it,
says:
“Nor will we leave the subject of forage
plants until mention is made of that mira
cle working plant, that also flourishes hero
—the meliiotus —the sweet white clover of
Chile. ’
“This plant, lover of lime soil, is the won
der plant of the world as a forage growth,
if there is on any prairie plaoe a knoll of
milk-white lime reck protruding from tbe
richer land, a knoll created by careless
or too constant culture, jutting itself up
amid fields rosy with growths-of wild
prairie rosoi or purpling with feathery
blooms of Venus’s paint brush, there scat
ter the seed or tho meliiotus.
"In two years’ time tbe seed will have
germinated and will have thrown up great
branching staves of sweet scented foliage
and snow bh ssoms. Then having reached
perfection like every world benefactor.it
dies leaving in tho earth beneath it an im
mense amount of ncunoss. Tho ground be
neath the plant in that time has been cut
through und through with roots as largo
some of them as a man’s wrist. This is a
nature’s way of plowing land too tough for
man’s implements to break up. These roots,
dying every two years, fill the earth with
decaying matter. This is old nature’s per
fect plan of fertilization.
“These great roots make millious of cis
terns that hold or lose the moisture accord
ing to tho demands of the crops abovo. This
is nature’s complete system of tile drainage
that man’s most artful methods cannot ex
cel even equal. Thus one sees that as
a land renovator no plant can equal this. It
is even a bettor as a forage plant than
Johnson grass. It boars frequent cutting
with the scythe for winter storage and its
feeding qualities are great whether fed to
stock groen or dry. It yields more beauti
ful honey than any plant in this section.”
Mulching'.
This is an nuxiliiarj' operation in culti
vation that would be more goneraly prac
ticed if its bengticial results were better
understood. The objects to bo obtained by
mulching are two-fold, viz.: to preserve a
uniform degree of moisture in the soil dur
ing summer and to protect roots of plants
from severe frost during winter. These
conditions are obviously important to vege
tation, and they can be vsry effectually
secured by covering the surface with a
stratum porous material, suoh as tan bark,
charcoal dust, leaves or strawy manure,
which will prevent the surface soil from
becoming oompact or hard and at the same
time assist in maintaining a uniformity in
its mechanical texture favoratde to the re
tention of moisture. Air is the best non
conductor and bodies are represented as
good or bad conductors just as they are solid
or porous. Iron is a better oonductor than
wood, granite stone a better conductor than
brick, hard-pressed soil is a better conduc
tor than a soil that is loose and porous. A
hard trodden path is warmer in summer
and colder in winter than the cultivated
ground alongside of it. When the soil par
ticles are in pressed contact the condition is
favorable to rapid conduction; summer
winds passing over suoh a surface carry off
the moisture which the heat evaporates,
the surface is speedily parched dry and
vegetation languishes.
When the surface is covered with a mulch
of such porous materials as those enumer
ated, says a government publication, it in
effect secures a stratum of air in repose
between the soil and the oauses of radia
tion and evaporation. Iu the case of
recently planted trees, the preservation of a
uniform degree of moisture in the soil sur
rounding their roots is a great point toward
their successful growth, and, other things
being equal, they will languish or flourish
in proportion as this condition of uniform
moisture is secured. Although muiching is
a very simple operation, yet serious losses
have occurred from its misapplication. We.
haVe seen trees destroyed from too heavy
mulching of grass, manure and tan bark.
Before applying the mulch to a recently
planted tree, if in spring, Bhape the soil
around it in basin form, extending the rim
beyond tho extremities of the roots; by this
configuration of surface rains will be re
tained and, if required, artificial waterings
can ue applied to best advantage. W ith re-'
gard to fall planting, the prooeee should be
reserved and a slight mound formed to
wafd the stem of the plant so as to throw
off the heavy rauis of ‘winter. Of course
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1891.
such mound should be removed before the
following summer.
As already remarked, the principal use
of winter mulching is to prevent frosts from
reaching the roots. The best material for
this purpose is charcoal dust. Where
mannre ii used it should not be thrown close
up to the stem of tbe plant, otherwise it
might prove a harbor for ground mice,
which in rough ground or under a coarse
covering are sometimes very destructive by
eating the bark of young trees. When they
are troublesome the precaution should be
taken to trample firmly over the roots and
around the stem after heavy snows and
keep the turfaoe dry and compact.
la order to be effectual it is not necessary
that summer mulching should be heavy.
When tan or charooal du9t is used a lay of
two inches in depth will be auite sfficient.
Grass cut from lawns is very suitable; but
a mere sprinkling only should be applied at
a time. Thick coatings promote fungoid
growths, which frequently destroy the
trees. Fruit or ornaraeutai trees that have
been transplanted will rarely be much beno
fitting by mulching after the first year’s
growth. The advantage of mulching to
growing vegetables are equally important.
Cabbages, potatoes, pease, onions and other
crops will thus be enabled to maintain
growth during the driest weather. This
covering is not iutended to supersede stir
ring the soil, but wuen plants become so far
advanced in growth as to beyonu tho hoe
and plow, mulching may be applied, and
those who give it a fair trial on their crop
in a dry season will not require further
promptings to repeat the practice.
Egg Raising.
“R. F. TANARUS., Ware county, Ga. Will you
please give us an article in the Weekly
News on tho subject of poultry. I want to
start a poultry yard on the most economical
plan p sable aud with a view chiefly to eggs
for home supply of nearby markets. ”
“R. F. T.” does not advise us whether he
lives in town or the country, but we take it
for granted that ho has plenty of room for
the purpose.
Of the many .breeds of poultry we know
of none that surpass tho leghorns as layers.
For this purpose they stand at the head of
the list, though there are several kinds of
good layers that have been obtained by
crossing in the past twenty years that
would give satisfaction.
As with everything else, it needs that one
should have some experience with poultry
before the best results will be obtained.
Where eggs alono are the object it is not
necessary to have as many cooks in his yard
as it would be If one intended to raise fowls
for market. Still it is well to have one cock
to every ten or twelve hens where eggs
alone are tho object. If ‘ ‘R. F. T.” has not
already a good stock of hens we should ad
vise him to procure with as little delay as
possible some of the leghorns (brown as
good as any). If he desires to enlarge his
venture next year ho should prepare himself
to raise a goodly number of hens for the
purpose, and it would be well to procure
two cocks and twelve hens of us good a
stook of leghorns as he can got, and besides
he should select a number of good stock
common pullets ami breed these to leghorn
cocks, aud he can get a cross that will form
almost as good layers as the pure breed.
If "R. F. T.” is so situated that he cau
give proper attention to 100 hens he should
arrange his poultry houses iu such a manner
as to give a yard to about twenty-fivo and
leave plenty of nests separated ontirely from
tbe roosting houses.
He should sow good plats of barley and
rye about them and provide a bushel or two
of pure ground bone, which should bo placed
iu easy recoh of hie fowls. A mixture of
oats and wheat (half aud half) should also
be provided, aud as soon ae the moulting
season is over, begin to feed them with tho
oats aud wheat nearly os much as the fowls
will oat up clean. Provide plenty of pure
water in iron vessels, and if they navo good
warm roosting places they will begin to lay
in November, and if properly looked after
will continue to lay almost steadily until
July.
There is no secret in poultry, whether for
eggs or chickens beyond feeding them oats
aud wheat, giving them what bone meal
they will eat and supplying them with
plenty of pure water. The nesting places
must of course be protected from “varmints"
of all kinds. Egg raising, when properly
conducted, is usually a very satisfactory
business,and there is no reason why the far
mers of Georgia should not raise as many
eggs as Frauoe herself. It only needs the
intensive management of the French farmer
to accomplish it.
There are thousands of readers of the
Weekly* News that are interested in poul
try raising, and we have conceived the idea
of converting our agricultural columns for
the five issues in October into a special
poultry journal. The aggregate fifteen col
umns will contain a mass of valuable infor
mation relative to poultry of all kinds,
turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, guineas.
To further our efforts to make it as valua
ble as possible we hope our readers will send
us du-ing September and October short ai
ticles or notes upon the subject Do not
slight our invitation, now, but contribute
your part to the pleasure and instruction of
your fellow readers. You will not regret
it. Send us the result of your experience
with the different varieties of chickens, tur
keys, ducks, geese, etc., how you house and
feed them and which you find the most
profitable—raising eggs or raising poultry,
aud what is the greatest obstacle you meet
with in attaining ideal success.

PILLS MADE OP SERPENTS.
Medical Science in Persia a Curious
Thing.
Rev. Ruel B. Karib of Oroomiah, Persia,
in an address in Baltimore a few days ago,
told an interesting story of Persian life:
"There are 9,000,000 people in Persia, and,
though it is not now the land of the scrip
tures, thousands yet worship fire, the sun,
moon and tho sea.
"There are no books and no printing
houses in Persia, except those which have
been established by the Presbyterian mis
sions. The Persians have 110 medical works,
the priests boiug lawyers and doctors as
well os exercising their priestly functions.
There are no drug stores in Persia, but then
there are no liquor stores. When the patient
comes to tho priest for treatment for dis
ease, the priest opens an Arabic book that
has been handed down from generation to
generation for over 090 years, and wherever
the book happens to opan, trie priest pre
scribes the treatment for the patient, en
tirely irrespective of whether he is afflicted
with that disease. Holy water and holy dirt,
mixed into a compound, appear to form a
large portion of the medical treatment.”
Speaking of the treatment of sics parsons
in Persia Mr. Karib said: "When a person
is in need of a tonic of soma kind his nurse
or attendant uses a tiger’s bone for the pur
pose, upon the principle that as the patient
needs strengthening, and as the bona is the
strongest part of the animal, it is sapposed
to be the only proper remedy. Instead of
the life-giving compounds made in this part
of the world, Persians make their pills of
serpents, toads and other reptiles. Such a
being Asa surgeon or a dentist is unknown
in anv part of Persia. No time is given to
the study of anatomy, surgery, or even the
circulation of the blood, and many Persians
die from broken limbs which have not been
properly sat.”

heresy was the sensation of the Episcopal
church in Ohio recently, is temporarily ia

pursue, for. having been bred a clergyman, he

JEWELS FROM THE STARS
LITTLE ONES FOUND IN A METEOR
ITE.
Were All Diamonds Brought to the
Earth by Meteorites ?—A. G'.imnse
Into the Widest Roaches of the Prob
lem of Life.
From the Philadelphia Fre.i.
Washington, Sept. B.—Of all tbe
curiouties which the wise men of the Asso
ciation for the Advancement of Science
brought to Washington for exhibition to
their fellows, the most extraordinary was a
meteirite with diamonds in it. Such a
thing had never been seen or heard uf be
fore; iofact.it was tbe only specimen of
the kind thus far discovered in the world.
The diamonds wero little ones, but what
they signified was big. Illustrations of
the meteorio iron, in which the diamonds
were found, wore published in to-day’s
Press.
The metecrito in question was one of
many found recently in Arizona, near the
Canyon Diablo. It was supposed by the dis
coverers that they had hit upon an iron
mine of enormous value, but investigation
proved that the great chunks of metal
picked up had been shot out of the realms
of space. The place whence they were ob
tained is known as the “Crater,” tiecause it
looks like one; being a circular hollow 100
feet in depth, three-quarters of a mile wide,
and surrounded by a wall of rock so steep
that the bottom is strewn with the skeletons
of animals which have got in and been un
able to climb out again. Nevertheless, it is
not of volcanic origin, as is proved with
certainty by the fact that there is no lava,
obsidian —volcanic glass—or other volcanic
product in the neighborhood.
W hat was it, then, that made the crater 1
Geologists say that it was formed by the
impact of a single gigantic meteor, which
at some time in the past struck the earth
and buried itself out of sight, leaving a hole,
which has since become partly filled up, sur
rounded by a wall of rock that was forced
out of place. Imagine what a big ons it
must have been to leave a cavity throe
fourths of a mile in width where it hit this
planet. Ti e huge mass of iron of which it
was composed is there yet, of course. Per
haps it is not sunk too deep to render mining
for its material unprofitable. Fragments of
it formed the masses that were picked up by
tbe prospectors above referred to.
That one which contained the diamonds,
however, has opened an absorbing subject
for speculation. It proves that there are
diamonds in other worlds thßn ours, but
also it points to many other important con
clusions. The diamonds of the famous Kim
berly mines, which at present product' al
most the entire world’s supply of these
gums, are all found at the bottoms of just
such craters as the one described in
Arizona. It is believed that these craters,
so called, were formed by the impact
of great meteors, because there is no
other conceivable way in which they could
have been made, and for other reasons geo.
logical. If so, then it must bo inferred that
probably all tho diamonds of tho world
were brought to this terrestrial sphere by
meteorites. In other wordq, these precious
jewols aro not native to the earth, but have
been fetched hither with the dust of other
stars. That accounts for the manner, hith
erto deemed unaccountable, in which they
are scattered everywhere through drift of
all sorts, having apparently no birthplace or
definite relation to their minerals.
Some scientists go so far as to assert that
diamonds, like coal, which is so nearly of
tho same chemical constitution, could not
posibiy come into existence without pre
vious vegetable growths to generate their
material. For tms reason they infer that
the finding of them iu the meteorite de
monstrates that there must have been vege
table life, at all events, in the place wbeaco
the meteorite came. If there
was vegetable life there it is a
fair presumption that there was
animal life also. All this may be untrue,
but it affords the first glimpse that has ever
been obtained into tho greatest problem that
mankind has ever attempted to handle —
namely, tbe question whether life exists in
other worlds than ours. From tho philo
sophical point of view, the fact cannot but
bo taken for granted in a universe in which
the sun is "merely an inferior star of the
fourth magnitude. Nevertheless, some ab
solute evidence on the point would be ex
tremely satisfactory.
Meteorites ordinarily are nearly all iron,
with a small percentage of nickel. None of
them has ever been known to contain a
particle of any precious metal. Neverthe
less, many of them aro worth many times
their weight in gold, because of some
peculiarity of structure or otherwise. Every
collector of minerals makes it a matter of
pride to have a SDecimen of every known
kind of meteorite in his cabinet. If a now
sort turns up and he has not a piece he is
unhappy. It happeus sometimes that one
weighing not more than a pound, of a
make-up that has not been seen before, will
sell in bits for a couple of thousand dollars,
if its possessor knows how to dispose of it.
People are not less interested in other
worlds because they know nothing about
the next one.
