Some Fact3 About Bermuda Grass.

the advantages of the wonderful Ber

P^ e -
Grccno connty is tho center of
ttio famous bormuda grass region,
and tho number of farmers who are
cultivating it as a hay’ crop is con
siaotly Within increasing.
the past week ono partr
in Greensboro alone has put on the
market and sold 75,000 pounds of
this bay, and the demand and price
both lire constantly improving.
60,Gu0 pounds of this hay was sold
at 85 cents per hundred or $17 per
ton; the inst lot of 15,000 pounds
brought $18 per ton. ' This was on
ly one of the many sales that are
taking place in Gioensboro. The
crop guliietol on tho bormuda
gas farms the market. the past It year is being
put on finds ready
purchasers at good figures and
thousands of dollars are being
brought from other sections of the
country and going into the pockets
of the bormuda gras® farmers. And
Horn every ton of bermuda hay sold
by the farmers of Greene county
there is a profit of $11 per ton I A
lon of bay at $17 per ton pays more
profit than a baio of cotton at 8 cts.
a pound I
When these facts arc considered
it is a wonder to us that more of
the farmers in Greene county do
not engage in tho business.
Wo had an interesting talk with
Capt. J, M. Stony on tho subject
of bermuda grass hay, this yeai.
Storey has gone into the bu 3 inosa
on an extensive scale and his expor
inients have proved to him that it
is the greatest thing in this coun
try, and that tho farmers of Greene
county and Middlo Georgia arc
standing light squarely in their own
if they do not give the mat
ten serious and prompt attention.
■•Captain, tell us something of the
profit® in bormuda hay.”
“I have had considerable expe¬ i
rience in this matter and if you
think it will prove of benefit to
others I will cheerfully give it.
My own opinion is that bermuda
groat* st thing in Greene county
nnd pays a belter profit in hay that
uny other crop that can be put on
the land.. 1 will give you a com¬
parative statement. JEvcrobody
kstows Hwtrfcermndft grows" with¬
out any particular cultivation. The
only expense attached to it is the
cuitingand baling. It requires 5
bauds lo eperato and keep up with
a mowing machine, A machine
will cut three acres a day. I have
made the following table as lo the

P el ' acro - In putting the hay on
the market it will cost 83 per ton
for baling and $1.50 for marketing,
But ike cost of cutting and saving
2 tons an acre will be no more than
*8 33 an aorc, for tho machine will
cut 2 or even 4 tons from an acre
as easily as it will ono. Now, to
get an exact estimate of the cost
per ton, add to tho cost,of cutting
and housing, $3 i’er baling and $1.50
per ton to mai'Kct each ton gather
from this acro. Eut upon the
basis that only one ton is gathered
this is a cost of 87.8$per ton and at
517 per ton—for which 1 sold some
Recently—a profit of §9.17 per ton.
»f 2 tons are gathered from an acre
the cost would bo $6.33 for labor,
§6 *yr baiiog, $3 for marketing,
making a total of $1 9 *33. The two
tors would bring $34—a profit of
$21.66 per acie, or $10.88 per ton.
Thus tlio greater the yield per acre
the greater is tho profit per ton.”
“How will this compare with cot
ton >”
‘-There,is ho comparison at all.
But to make the point strong T will
illustrare. . Five hands will
vate about sixty acres in cotton.
ThGty acres is considered a one
horse farm. Therefore the sixty
acres would be a two-horse farm.
It is considered a good yield when
a man makes $150 ciear to the plow
and thrjt are few who do it.
we put it at 8150 to the horse. This
makes $.300 clear on tho sixty ftcrcf.
Now put the same land in bermu
da grass. I have shown ti.at five
liands ran cut three acres in one
day .This would require 20 days for
< aco cutting, or 40 days in all. The
hay, say, yields 1 ton, or 2,000 lbs.
per acre, which is a very low e-ti
male. This is a total of 120,000
pounds or 90 tons. AYe get this ta
tie of expenses:
Hire of 5 hands 43 dare ?!00

^ hen the cotton farmer made
§'1C0 on cotton on GO acres, the hay
farmer lias m«do $505 or $265 more
an ^ only worked forty days
" bile tho cotton farmer hits been at
il 813—the whole working year,
These figures may seem exlrava
g an b but the facts prove them and
Hiese who havo gone into tho bus
ncss know it is true. Sow you
will roadily see that all we have
t0 whero tae yield U greatur
than one ton per aero is to add
three dollars per ton for baling and
one dollar and fifty cents per ton
for marketing—which deducted
from all over ono ton per acre pro
d uc ed will give tho net profits per
acre en Bermuda meadows. The
firat expense ot clearing tho land
slumps is tho greatest, but it is
an expense that pays. To make
the land emooth of obstructions is
necessary in order to mow with a
machine. The expense of tho bal¬
<ng press and mowing machino, of
courte comes in, but it is the same
with eottou—there are hoes,plows,
gearing, sciowi, bagging, ties, etc.,
lo k° bought to put the cotton on
tho market. But in the hay busi
ness once tho machinery is bought
«t is only necessary to keep it in
©pair. Yes, bormuda grass is tho
greatness thing in this country and
half of its advantages have not
been seen or told,” and Capt. Sto
l e fr us f° attond to the unload
Hig of a number of bales of the
».reat hay, and wo returned to the
office to write down the strong facts
of tho money there is in bormuri?
grass.—Herald Journal,
The Poor Man’s Capital.
Tlierc is a good deal paid con¬
demnatory of mortgages, which af¬
ter all nro only another Damn for
security, when a man wants credit.
B>if can this country be run strictly
on a cash basil. ? While it is best
for every man to pay as lie goes,
yet if he hasn't got the money, he
finds credit a very timely help in
distress. Credit is a poor man’s
capital, and has saved many a man
from ruin. It has put a prop un
dor many sinking enterprises and
buoyed them up until bettor times
and speedier collections came to
the rosme and tided them over the
financial breakers;
It is very foolish for any man to
buy anything he doesn’t need or to
borrow money when ho can get
along without tt, but if a man can
make money by borrowing money,
il is wise to do so, and to give se¬
curity in shape of a mortgage it is
hardship, if be h:s tho property
upon which he call place the raort
gage. It saves asking friends to
go personally security, and in cith
er case an honest man will consid
er bis property xs much bound for
bis debts in ono instance as the
other. Tho bulk of business is
Gone on a credit. It always bus
been^ bo and will always continue
to be so. Individuals premises to
pay are so numerous as Uncle
Sam’s certificate® of promises to
pay. The people in this way float
as much currency as tho national
government. In its last analysis
credit is a great auxiliary in doing
business of the county. That it
can bo abolished absolutely wo do
not bclieyc,* but that it can be cur
tailed, to a large extent, we verily
believe. To accomplish it will re
quiro a self sustaining agricultural
population who make more than
their necessities require and who
can lay by a surplno for cmergon
cios, and thereby hav« cash at
command at all times._Marietta "

Sagaeity of Shephhrd Dogs.
A gentleman who lias had con¬
siderable to do with shepherds rnd
drovers in England and Scotland,
speaking of the story published in
the Oregonian a day or two since
about a dog separating tho owes
and wethers of a flock by noticing
tho ear-marks, says there is no
doubt but what it is true, lie has
known dogs to go into a drove of
sheep which wcro marked with sev
oral different car marks, and sin
gle out every ono bearing his mas
tor’s mark. Ho says the shepherds
train thoir dogs by taking thorn
along when puppies under thoir
care when they mark the sheep,
and the dog is thus laugh; to dis
lingmsh marks. He says farther
that at tho shocp market ai Isling
ton drovers have their sheep mark
ed with red ou blue paint, and when
a driver gels mixed a dog will go
in tho band and bring out all; bis
master’s sheep, telling them by the
color of the marking. Shepherd
dogs are the most intelligent spe¬
cies ot the canine family, und when
they aro brought up among herds
of sheep and trained to take charge
of them, it is but reasonable to sup
that they might learn to no-.
• ice marks of any kind on them.—
