tiveone whoiasubjeettoemaeiation,

readied.by inward application, and

from tlie fact that tliousandsof tliclr

The latest plan with ensilage is to
cut tlie entire corn crop—stalks, ears
and all—into the silo. The kernels
of tlie corn will he wholly digested
by tin- cattle, a. it does not dry out
nor lose its milky character, which
gives it succulence for rapid diges
tion. A farmer who has made tills
Iioint of special Inveatigation so re-
l>orts and affirms that there Is uota
trace of corn In the voidings.
What Makes the South Poor.
Daniel Dennett, editor of the Ag
ricultural Department of the New
Orleans Picayune, in discussing
the condition of farmers, |H>ints
out two causes for their want of
prosperity. The South, lie says, is
rich in resources but poor in purse.
She may fcc rich in purse and be
able to develop Jier vust resources
with her own means. Diversified
farming will probably In time bring
these Gulf States out of the cotton
rut and horticulture will implant a
new aud more Intense Interest in
the cultivation of the soil and will
give a new interest to Southern
homes. More paint, whitewash,
fruits and flowers will make homes
more attractive and the farmers and
their families more ambitious ami
more hopeful uml Industrious, nml
the country more prosperous. Hut
tlie people must remove two greet
evils before prosperity will oome.
I-el US bring out the quadrant and
the chronometer and take a reckon
ing and II in I out where we ure, ami
then examine the barometer ami
see if nny storm Is blowing.
If we remember correctly the
Commissioner of Agriculture of
Georgia estimates Hint that State
usually spends about $8,000,900 an
nually for Western corn nml port.
That State lias 1,542,180 inhabitants.
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, I-ouls-
nnn, Arkansas, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Tennewee and Texas In
1880 contained about 10,077,931 lli-
hihitants. If encli of tiiese nine
Stales consumes ns much Western
orn and pork as Georgia, according
to their population, it would amount
n the aggregate to about $50,000,000
for the nine States. And this Is
perhaps not more than half I hut
these States purchase from the
West uml North that might he pro
duced on Southern farms. And the
Southern farmers nre the chief con
sumers of these articles purchased
from those States.
Judge( lirlsinun,of Lincoln coun
ty, Miss., lately staled In a speech
made nt llrookhaven tliut the liquor
sold chiefly to the farmers of Lin
coln county at llrookhaven before
prohibition cost the consumers an
nually about $100,000, or tlie market
value of about 2,000 hales of cotton.
Liquor consumed in tho same pro
portion in tlie nine States would
cost $84,.'100,000, or tlie value of 4HI(,-
000 hales of cotton. These nine
States would consume, according to
our estimates, liquors, corn, nml
pork unniinlly I but would cost then
over $120,000,000. If Judge Chris-
mun's estimates ure correct, ours
ure not fur from tlie truth. Cuii
these nine States thrive before they
have III u grent measure removed
these millstones und stumbling
Mocks? Who can answer? Who
can defend tlie wiiisky trafllc or say
tliut Southern farmers can thrive
while they are fed by tlie farmers of
tlie West aud vote in favor of the
wiiisky trafllc? Mississippi lias
silenced the liquor trafllc in about
half of the counties In tlie Stat
uml Georgia lias crushed tlie mon
ster In about one hundred counties
ami ln the “city of Atlanta, and In
these States prohibition severely
prohibits, uml tlie friends of pro
gress ami reform hold ull the forts
