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.— > State Agricultural Department V THIST'S .

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 crat. Di plomac y. One day a gentleman was holding a conversation with his wife in the pres ence of their 5-year-old son, and among other things mentioned was “diploma cy” “Pa,” said the youngster when a break in the conversation allowed him 1 to interfere, “what does diplomacy ’ mean?” “Diplomacy, my son,” said the fa i ther, “is this —doing exactly the right i thing at exactly the right moment. ” , “Then I suppose I used diplomacy when I got out of the pantry yesterday, 1 dad, did I?” “What do you mean?’’ was the reply. “Why,” said the son, “I got into the back yard with that meat pie just at i the moment ma caught the cat in the pantry and told you to drown her fox i thieving.”—Pearson’s Weekly. Fie Wiinn’t Proud. The London Telegraph says that while a certain bishop was waiting fol ' a train at Waterloo station, a porter, who often sees him into a compartment and shuts the door, in order that his lordship may be alone, came up to him i in a state of excitement and asked: ; “Your reverence, do you see that gentleman standing in the doorway over there?” “Yes,” answered tbe bishop. “Do you know who it is?” continued ’ the porter. “No,” said his lordship. The railway man then whispered: “It s the ‘Coffee Cooler,’ your rever ence. <>h he ain’t proud! He'll shake hands with your reverence if you like.” The “Coffee Cooler’’ is a noted col ored prizefighter.
