AS TO STOCK FEEDING
HIGH r IDROWN ON THE SUBJECT
BY STATE CHEMIST J.
31. M’CANDLKSS.
HATTER AN IMPORTANT ONE
A Young Farmer Discouraged With
Farming aud the Low Prices of
Cotton Is Given Advice.
To the State Chemist, Atlanta, Ga,:
Dear Sir—l am a young farmer al
most discouraged with forming and the
low prices of cotton. I had thought of
devoting more attention to my stock,
und write to ask If chemistry can
throw any light on that subject, as all
farmers admit that it does on the sub
ject of fertilizers. Can you give some
good formulas for feeding? I have a
good common school education, but
want you to be plain so I oan under
stand what you say. A. B. O.
To A. B. O.:
Dear Sir—Your letter received, and
the questions you ask open up a wide
field for discussion, and are of the great
est practical importance, not only to the
farmer, but to the general prosperity of
the whole country.
Yes, chemistry can throw a great
flood of light on the subject of stook
feeding, which is a part of the general
subject of animal nutrition. The sub
ject is usually treated last in nearly
all works on agriculture, but I am
now going to write to you about it
first, because you seem specially inter
ested in it, and also because I believe
that if a general and intelligent inter
est in the subject of stock raising could
be awakened in the country it would do
more for our agricultural regeneration
than any one thing that 1 can think of.
I could answer the main question of
your letter at onoe by giving you some
formulas for feeding, but I am not
going to do that because you would not
see any sense in it, or any good reason
for it, and I desire that you should un
derstand the principles of feeding first,
then you will take an intelligent inter
est in it; and be more successful in it
than if you went at it blindly by mere
“rule of thumb.” I am going to as
sume that there are numbers of farmers
like yourself in Georgia with limited
but fair education, who are disgusted
with the all cotton policy, and that this
letter addressed to you personally is also
of interest to them, and so I shall print
it in the “Monthly Talks” of the com
missioner of agriculture, that it may
have a wide circulation among the
farmers, and perhaps be of interest and
benefit to them as well as yoursedf to
whom it is addressed. I expect toivrite
one of these letters for each of the
“Monthly Talks,” according as I may
find opportunity and time to spare from
my other duties, and to continue them
as long as I think I have anything of
practical value to say to the farmers. As
I am not writing these letters for those
well versed in scientific agriculture,
but for beginners, I shall commence
with elementary principles.
I will discuss in a brief manner some
of the principles of animal nutrition or
of feeding.
The animal body is composed of water,
that constituting from 40 to 60 per cent
of it, and also of protein, fat and ash, of
which bast bones are the chief part. The
protein of the body includes all of the
matter in the body containing nitrogen.
The lean meat, the casein of milk or the
curd, white of eggs, or albumen are
all forms of protein The term albu
minoids, derived from albumen, is often
used to mean the same as protein, al
though that use is not strictly correct.
The albuminoids are a class cf bodies in
cludd under the general name of pro
tein. The flesh, the skin, the hair, the
muscles, the heart, the liver, the brain,
the blood, the nerves, all the internal or
gans, the nails, the horns, the hoofs and
in fact a large part of the bones al 1 consist
largely of protein. So we sea this sub
stance, protein, is indeed a most im
portant one; life cannot exist without
it, and when we go into the r larket to
buy it in its most concentrate nd forms,
as in beef, mutton, pork and millk, we
find we have to go down into our pock
ets just a little deeper than for- the other
necessaries of life. The carbohydrates
and fat are also necessary to animal life.
The word carbohydrate is derived from
carbon (of which charcoal is a good ex
ample) and the word hydrate is from
the Greek for water. An example of a
pure carbohydrate is starch, we eat it
usually in the form of meal, flour, rice
an i potatoes, of which it forms the
greater part. Sugar is the first cousin
of siar h undeed it can be made from
it) and is also included undea the term
carbohydrates. These carbohydrates
are the principal source of the fat of
our bodies, and are the chief source of
animal heat and the energy of the body,
in fact they are a sort of fuel, and are so
to speak burned in the body, heat and
work being a result of their oxidation
or burning, just as heat and work or
motion are a result of the burning or
oxidation of coal in an engine. So we
see these carbohydrates are important,
but we also find they are cheap as com
pared with protein; why are they cheap?
Because as their nasne implies they are
derived from the very abundant and.
cheap substances, water and carbon.
The water is given us free in Che form
of rain, and the carbon also in the form
of carbonic acid, v.-hich is bresrthed out
. mtinuaily into the atmospl iere by every
living animal -on the suttface of the
earth, by every chimnev and hearth
stone, which warms a happy family
by every smoke-stack, factory and loco
motive, which minister to our want;
and necessities. Carbonic acid formf
the principal part of all this smoke,
although it is not the black part which
we see, but the invisible part, which it
clear and colorless like the air. Vast
streams of it are pouring out constantly
into the air; why does it not stifle and
suffocate us, as it would if poured intc
the rooms where we live? It is becausd
all plant life lives on it, the great forests
absorb it, the crops of wheat, corn and
cotton consume it, the lilies and ths
roses eat it and drink it. They take
this deadly gas into their wonderful lit
tle bodies, and work it over and over,
together with the water which they
suck out of the soil, untiX_they turn it
back again into the starch from
which it started, aud deposit it in theil
cells to lie consumed by men and other
animals again and again in a wonderous
never ending cyole.
Wc see now why the carbohydrates
are cheap, because they are never used
up, because they form an endless chain.
Do what we will with them, eat
them up, burn them up, they “bob up
again serenely,” ready for fresh con
sumption. They come out of the air
which is free to all, and all that they
can cost is the labor connected with
handling aud getting them into market
able shape. But you ask is not the
same thing true of protein ? No, in
deed, aud in my next letter I will give
you some of the reasons why protein is
more costly. Yours truly,
John M. McCandless,
State Chemist
About Rescue Grass.
Question. —Please give mo all the in
formation you can in regard to rescue
grass?
Answer.—Rescue grass is probably
the finest grass for winter grazing, and
the most prolific grass of southern lati
tudes. The grass requires a rich loamy
soil, and comes up in September, grow
ing rapidly during even the the coldest
winter. It affords a rich pasturage of
the most succulent stems aud leaves
from Dec. 1, to May 1, or it may be
mowed for hay two or three times dur
ing April and May, and then allowed to
mature a crop of seed, which in gather
ing will shatter, or leave enough seed
on the groudd to reseed the land, so
that one sowing, if properly treat ’,
will suffice. After mowing two or three
times, from 100 to 150 bushels of seed
may be made on an acre. The seed may
be sown from June to February.
There are some peculiarities about
this grass seed. They will not germi
nate in summer. The colder the weather
in winter, the factor it grows, unless
the steins have commenced jointing,
when a freeze will kill It down, only to
come out again, however, greatly in
creased in thickness. When not mowed,
the grass grows slowly, but when it is
mowed or grazed upon, the growth is
hastened. The plats upon which the
grass has been sown can be broken up
from June 1 to 15, fertilized and sown
in peas, or planted in corn and field
beans. By this method the grass will
not only be improved, but splendid crops
of pea vine hay, or of corn and beans can
be made. The seed that are left on the
ground in May will lie dormant until
the cool nights in September.
The seed are quoted by seed men at
25 cents per pound, but about 100
pounds may be obtained from Dr. A.
M. Winn & Son of Lawrenceville, Ga.,
at 15 cents per pound, or 12 cents per
pound if as much as 10 pounds are
bought; aJso 150 pounds can be obtained
from Mr. J. T. Baxter of Suwanee, Ga.,
at the same price. The foregoing in
formation is furnished largely by Mr.
J. T. Baxter, who has successfully
grown Rescue grass.—State Agricult
ural Department.
Culture of Upland Rice.
Question.— Please give me some gen
eral information in regard to the culture
of upland rice.
Answer.—The following plan is prac
tically that of W. H. Dickey of Abbe
ville, a successful grower of upland rice:
Low or hammock land is preferable for
the planting of upland rice; in order to
guard against drouth, however, the soil
should not be wet. Break the land deep
and close, and use the harrow if there
are any clods, then use the small plow,
and trench your rows about 24 to 30
inches apart. Put in the drills 200 to
300 pounds of good commercial fertil
izer, or barnyard manure can be used
with good results if well pulverized.
Drop the rice 12 to 14 inches apart, put
ting 12 to 20 grains in a hill, and cover
the same with a fork plow.
After this is done, the nee can be cul
tivated with very little trouble. Plow
shallow, using the scooter and scrape,
and about two workings will be all that
is necessary. One bushel of rice will
plant from two and one-half to three
acres, which on good land and proper
seasons will yield from 25 to 30 bushels
of rough rice per acre. One bushel of
the rough rice, when husked, will yield
about 25 pounds of beautiful white rice,
which has an excellent flavor, and is
considered by many to be far superior
to any other rice that can be found on
the market.
1 If planted in April the nee will be
, ready for harvesting about Sept 1, and
as the head ripens before the straw,
you get from one to three tons c. excel
lent Imy per acre.
Mr W. H. Dickey of Abbevil.e, Ga,
' ?jaa about 20 bushels of this upland rice
J that he will sell f-’ sl-50 per bushel,
' sacked and delivered to freight or ex
press office on receipt of said amount.—

asking him to think of a < .rd and tele

the parties were well known, and the
experiment caused an immense sensa

“The newspapers discussed it by the

thing was merely a clever trick. 1 bad

tbe people on the inside. It had been
prearranged with the San Francisco
man that the cue to the right card was
to be the wording of the message. Tbe
denomination was indicated lif the
number of words in the second sentence.
If, for instance, it was an ace, the sen
tence would be only one word, ‘Answer
if a deuce it would be ‘Answer immedi
ately, ’ and so on.
“As it happened to be a five the mes
sage ran, ‘Telegraph reply quickly as
possible.’ The suit of the card was re
vealed by the signature. Signing the
name in full meant hearts, tin? first only
meant clubs, the last name meant
spades, and the initials meant diamonds.
The system was beautifully simple, and
the message seemed on its face perfect
ly innocent. It was carefully examined
to find a hidden word, but baffled the
investigators. As far as I know, the
truth about the affair has never been
printed.”—New Orleans Times-Demo

One day a gentleman was holding a

“Pa,” said the youngster when a

“Diplomacy, my son,” said the fa

“What do you mean?’’ was the reply.
“Why,” said the son, “I got into the
