Dav by d.ij-—year after venr do the advantages of the wonderful Ber muda become moro apparent, and more and more are tin-.so advacta «<*s being appreciated by the peo 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 $17 per ton pays more profit than a baio of cotton at 8 cts. a pound I When these facts arc considered it is a wonder to us that more of the farmers in Greene county do not engage in tho business. Wo had an interesting talk with Capt. J, M. Stony on tho subject of bermuda grass hay, this yeai. Storey has gone into the bu 3 inosa on an extensive scale and his expor inients have proved to him that it is the greatest thing in this coun try, and that tho farmers of Greene county and Middlo Georgia arc standing light squarely in their own if they do not give the mat ten serious and prompt attention. ■•Captain, tell us something of the profit® in bormuda hay.” “I have had considerable expe¬ i rience in this matter and if you think it will prove of benefit to others I will cheerfully give it. My own opinion is that bermuda groat* st thing in Greene county nnd pays a belter profit in hay that uny other crop that can be put on the land.. 1 will give you a com¬ parative statement. JEvcrobody kstows Hwtrfcermndft grows" with¬ out any particular cultivation. The only expense attached to it is the cuitingand baling. It requires 5 bauds lo eperato and keep up with a mowing machine, A machine will cut three acres a day. I have made the following table as lo the cost of Culling: 5 hands at 50c a day each, ci 4 mulos 50c,. - w I wagon, 50c., 50 Baling, Marketing, per ton, CC r-i ~ * ^ -Hat otal i.us , . is . the expense of ® 8 one - 50 a wosk for i$e hands, inulfis, a ntl w “° on > ar,c * cou«eq:ienl!y is not , 10 cos ^ P er f° n lbcse men with ?

It will require 2 CQll ' n g 3 for 2 crops, or to obtain [, he tor ! s on 4 ac, ' es * This is §5 for !. or 1 l .^ e bands, . $4 for in the . a!I mulos, $1 10 ' va S 0! |> , ° r $3.33c 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 4 mules 40 days . . 80 Matron 40 days . 23 Bailing- Marketing L50 per ton . iu $3 per ton . ISO Tata! $155.00 GO ton* of hay at $17 • JI020 * 00 _ Profit £'G5 ^ 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 " Journal. _____ m l>l<L A Ufa &-»ntenc*» ” far Arsan * Ty Ty, March 24.—A negro, name unknown, charged with setting fire. to Tilt’s mills at Tifton last year, was convicted in Berrien superior court and sentenced to tho penis toutiory for lifo. --*»**.— -— Taekkd by a Tough. _ AcOlsiA, .’ GA., „ 21.—-To- _ . .larcn da , y 2?.?',°* ??“. n 2 r 5 kliOW » better standing f ‘f with 5 a ’ Charles ,a< a K.rsh. . m, ^ Gn Late ^ cr " Jo-mght Kn-sh was seated on Dub ^bndgo and “Wfd Cal’ ap ]f ,rs 0 ^®* b s co.iar. 1 ^ ,n> » Kirsh jerked . hn , loose In from bufassailiant, and as he steps P c( * a wa 3^’Connors seized n rock bi ice , and threw it. whereupon R ^ bootcr ,ra ** hurriedly and fired three drew times a* seven- at his as * ai an *» ORC ^ a ‘ g r *zing his face and ° l ^ r **?*}*£ an fl <* h vvound ln lh e thigh.

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.— Portland Oregonian.
