Agricultural Department L. N. B.’s contribution, on this page, merits the attention of every citizen, especially of those interest ed in tiie turniitig andoattle-reising interests, it apprizes our readers ; of the raid which is contemplated | on the remnant of the public lands, i in the interests of monopolists and | railroads. A few years ago what is now the great onion tract of Chester, in Or ange County. N. Y., was a worth less piece of land. To-day it would bring readily SI,(XX) an acre. Last season on these meadows 120,000 bushels of onions were grown, which were sold for more than $125,000. This season’s crop was even larger. There are no other equally large onion tracts in the country. Poultry require about three weeks to fatten, so that those re quired for sale at Christmas should be put up the iirst of December. The best method is as follows: Make a set of long boxes, ranged one upon another, and divided in to partitions of sufficient size—a foot cubic space is enough for a fowl. The birds are inclosed in these boxes and kept dark except at feeding time, when they are sup plied pith moist food, hut no water, As much should be given as the birds will eat; but turkeys and and geese may be crammed, that is the food is put down their throats in the form of small balls as long as they can swallow it. Birds so fattens have white, firm, tender flesh and get very fat. If dry food is given water is required .... The recent pleuro-pneumonia scare in the West has subsided as all the previous bugaboos of the same kind have. A few Jersey cows, the millings of herds picked up here and there, and sent west for the purpose of speculation, and affected with chronic lung disorder —but not the contagious pleuro pneumonia so far as any*eviclencc of it lias appeared —have been slaughtered. The evident design of the scare, however, lias failed. This was the establishment in Mis souri and and Kentucky of State Vetcrinuriam Bureaus which should find places for a few veterinary sur geons and pave the way for others in other states. One can very clear ly see from past experience in Kan sas how the thing works. About a year ago a tremendous uproar was made in that state about foot and mouth disease. The whole coun try, Canada, England 1 and Europe were alarmed at the new manifesta tion of a contagious disease appear ing without any evidence of infec tion. The Government does a large Heed business. The object is to intro duce into various sections of the country such new and valua ble products as may bo adapted to the soil and climate of each.” Last year $75,000 was voted for this pur pose, and this year the grant has been increased to sloo,ooo.The work of distribution gives employment to 160 women and 48 men. Every year the chtef of the department is buying up tons of seeds, two-thirds of the apprpriation being spent in tire purchase and the remainder in putting them up. During the past year 3,622.780 packages were mail ed, 2,012,730 of which went to Con gressmen. The rest were distribu ted among the crop correspondents of the Agricultural department in every county and State. All sorts are sent out, from field corn and po tatooß t-o the rarest flowers. In the last year’s distribution 565 packa ges of sunflowers were given away. The World’s Exposition at New Orleans will afford a convenient op portunity for Southern farmers to study the methods, implements, <fec., of their Northern brethren, for the purpose of adopting in their own practice, such as they may ap prove of. Past experience has dem oust rated the Southern section of our country to be the most thor ough and fertile agricultural re gion. desirable also from climatic influences, hut more industry, skill and ingenuity are enlisted, in rural callings, at the North. It is true that the South is indebted to Nor thern invention for the most ap proved economic fixtures designed to benefit agriculture and planting at large. Of late years there is a better disposition than formerly manifested, discarding prejudices and adopting better methods. But still there is a dogged adherence in many Southern districts to the one crop system —cotton, cotton, cot ton —with no improvement or vari ation, which has brought the South nothing but debt, poverty and em barrassment. It is hoped the corn ing opportunity at New Orleans will be improved by all concerned, for the mutual and lasting bene tils of all parts of the National Union. Bartlesville Agricultural Club. The club ffiet Saturday' morning last and Rev. G. 11. Perdue gave Mr John W. Stallings method of ferti lization and cultivation of wheat. He fertilizes the land with cotton j seed before sowing wheat. He fol j lows the wheat crop with a pea crop j making two crops each year. The pea crop is cultivated and I the same land is sown in grain and ! peas every year. He finds that the crops increase and the fertility of the soil is increased every year, lie cultivates only such land as will make a bale to the acre. He makes large quantities of oats every year and considerable lmrley. His lands are considered double the value of fifteen years ago. JIo i has introduced machinery to a de gree and this year saved considera ble hay. lie has every outhouse now tilled with bay. Mr. William Kennedy is break ing up gullies by putting up ob structions across the brakes. Jle then runs the rows so as to eon duet the water off. In plowing across the broken places dirt is dropped in and these places become most elevated. Mr. Perdue says lie lias a two ac re plat on which he had a very hea vy crop of peas. He left the peas and vines on one and took them off the other. The open plat baked and in using fertilizers they ate up the seed anti affected even the re plant materially. On the rough plat the fertilizers did well and pro duced fine results. His conclu sions are that commercial fertili zers should not be used on clean lands for small grain, nor for cot ton. Why this is a was not able to say. Mr. J.P. McLean said he had some land that had that had been used to raise sorghum till it would seateely grow anything. He began by sowing wheat, and followingwith peas, turning under the peas, turn ing under the pens. He then fol lowed with wheat and again with peas and cotton seed. The land was raised from seven bushels of wheat to thirty bushels in two years since then it has been put in cotton. The idea prevails that peas for fertilizing are unsurpassed. So sufficient peas are gotten to smoth er all undergrowth, is all that is necessary for fertilizing purposes. Mr. McLean used four brands of fertilizers in his test, as follows: liarle, Arehilla, Gossypium and Hunt & Murpheys. He made the test on a piece of land that made the rows 140 yards long, ad as poor land as he could get on his place. Four rows were putin each of the fertilizers and four rows were planted without any fer tilizers. 'flic Arehilla made 111 lbs cotton, the Gossypium 11 libs, the liarle. 931bs, the mixture of J. T. Hunt & Go., lOSlbs and the four rows on which no fertilizer was used made 241bs. The question to plant peas prov ed to he an interesting one. It seem ed to be the most popular idea that about a bushel to the acre was suf ficient to broadcast, and about half a bushel if dropped. It was thought that tho farmers of thiH section should get the Tory, or red pea. They are also known us the Clay pea. Their growth is far more lux uriant and they are therefore best for fertilizing. Mr. J. 0. Middlobrooks commen ded very highly a small speckled pea, that was probably came from Texas. They are tender and can be cooked as easily ns an English pea. The club seemed to be unanimous that pea vines are decidedly the best means of reviving the fertility of tlie soil. Mr.W.C. Jenkins said he thought from his experience that any ordi nary land planted in grain mid peas one year, then put in peas and turned under in May, and again in the fall make another crop of peas, the third year the land will make a bale of cotton to the acre. He gath ered more peas by mixing equally the speckle and elav peas. Mr. J. V.. Rose stud he always made better cotton after peas, and never turned under pea vines till spring. Cant R. J. Powell said with prop er ditching and cultivation the lands can be improved every year. Mr- Jenkins thought that farm ers could pay twenty-five cents a bushel for seed to put on the land. He thought the cotton seed meal an injury to the farming interest. Mr. McLean thought the spring crops were henefitted by the meal, but the fall crops were best off by the seed used. Mr. Middlobrooks said his expe rience this year, where he put twice as much seed as meal on corn, ho found the results of the meal to be superior to those ofthe seed. Capt. Powell argued that condi tions ofland, atmosphere and other things made it very uncertain as to the exact results from the different fertilizers. The subject for discussion at the next meeting is Terraced Ditching which which will be on the first Saturday in January. Mr. A. B. McLean and Air. \V. C. Jenkins were appointed to open the discus sion. The following gentlemen were el eeted delegates to the State Agri cultural Convention in February: J. W. Powell, W. C. Jenkins and A. Stafford Alternates —G. 11. Perdue, J. P. McLean, J. C. Middle brooks. At the January meeting the Club will elect a President and Secreta ry for the ensuing year. Stock and Cattle. Since the adoption of the fence law in this section, the Gazette has strenuously advocated the raising of cattle for milk purposes and for beef. We are pleased to see that some active, enterprising farmers are turning their attention and en ergies in this direction. Mr. S. M. Howard lias added some valuable lands to his place near Barncsville, for the purpose of looking especial ly to cattle raising. He declares that he has turned cotton raising over to those who idolize it, and proposes to abandon it entirely. He lias purchased 40 acres of land from Mr, McLeod, and 170 from Capt- R. J. Powell, containing am ple cane to winter from sixty to eighty head of cattle. There is scarcely anything more valuable for stock in winter than a good cane break. Mr Howard says he will keep all the time good milch cows for sale, or he will exchange such cows for cows that are not in milk. This will certainly be a convenience and should be profitably to those in town who have cows to stop milk, and have no pasture lands to run them on. There is business in the idea and Mr. Howard is the man to carry out successfully such an en terprise. He lias aiso some lands set apart for grasses and forage for summering his cattle. Two gentlemen in Barncsville are preparing to bring from the west a line Jack, with the view of raising mules. We have not the slightest doubt but an investment would pay both the individuals making it and the farmers of this section, who will devote some of their attention to raising mules. This move, with the Norman horse, will perhaps inaugurate anew era in stock raising in Middle Georgia. The sooner farmers begin to raise stock that much better off will they he. The St. Louis Cattle Men’s Co nvention. This assemblage, at St. Louis, of twelve hundred cattle men, lias been called by St. Louis managers the First National Cattle Men’s Convention. Its true name would be the First National Land Grab bers’ convention. The press of St. Louis, together with the reports furnished the Associated Press at that city, fail to give a correct view of the purposes and doings of that convention. When the notices of that convention were spread broad cast, it was a puzzle to men in the Eastern and Northern States and Territories to know what was the real aim of the proposed conven tion. That the first object in the mind of the merchants there was to at tract trade to St. Louis was evi dent. W hile this most concerned the business men of St. Louis, questions of local and special in terest were sprung to attract atten dance from regions most intested in these questions. One can as nearly tell the charac ter of a book by its cover as the character of that St. Louis Conven tion by its grandiloquent and gen erous name, The First National Cattle Men’s Convention. That it was not the first lias been seen by the facts your correspondent pre sented in his previous letter. That it is unworthy of the name—Nation id—was evident to every humilia ted delegate from States east of the Mississippi River, and from the Territories not tributary to St. Lou- The old town did herself honor in her generous hospitality to all delegates. As much can not be ! said of the men who were the un seen organizers, and by whose ma nipulations the power of a great convention, called “National,” was placed in the power of a section, whose trade her merchants and her commission men hope to con trol. It is said there were twelve hun dred delegates in attendance. The call for the eanvention was in most general terms to all states, Territo ries and associations interested in cattle-growing. In response to this call came delegates from fif teen States and Territories west of the Mississippi, and eight States east of that river. The report of the Committee on Credentials, like the rulings of the temporary Chairman, showed that the object of the managers was not to allow a truly National represen tation or organization. So unfair was the report of that committee that a minority report came from some of its members demanding the admission of representatives j from the State Board of Agricul ture of the adjoining state (Illinois ) j being excluded. An appeal to the! convention resulted in the admis sion of two delegates from Illinois, I one from Ohio, and two from the I District of Columbia. The minority report asked that all delegates excluded by the major ity report be admitted. This did not prevail. Texas objected, her spokesman saving that he and “the ranchmen did not propose to ac cept anything but a fair deal.” Tex as was allowed 242 delegates to Il linois’ 2. Her chief objection,how ever, was to allowing the Missouri Short-horn Breeders’ Association and the American Agricultural As sociation to have 100 delegates each. If these associations were allowed such representation then the ranchmen would withdraw. A compromise admitted twenty from each of these two associations. Now, this so-called Agricultural Association aforesaid is not recog nized by agriculturists generally as in sympathy with farmers so much as with railroads. This may be a help in studying this conglomerate body. It shows tho modesty of some people. It is another remarkable fact, taken in this connection, that the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, with forty-six delegates, were ad mitted by the committee on Cre dentials, while the tivo delegates from Illinois State Board of Agri culture/ were ruled out by that com mittee. These are what the jolly Wall street visitor, “Uncle Rufus,-’ might call “pinters.” It may be well here to remember that the Chicago Live stock Ex change sent a silver tongued agent to Washington, last Winter, with $50,000, to oppose the bill for pro tection against exotic cattle disea ses. This “pinter” shows some thing of the under-tow that was felt all through this convention, which had its origin in the stock-yards of St. Louis. The purpose of the movers and organizers was inimi cal to that greatest question, which at this time interests every farmer, stock-grower or dairyman who owns a cow, namely, protection against the introduction anjl spread of contagious diseases among cat tle. This is one question on which all delegates from the states east of thcMissippi, and the Territories and states north of the Missouri, were a unit. The questions of a National trail, and leasing to ranchmen the public domain, and protection of grass and cattle on the plains against Indians, are ephemeral, and, in a few years, will be of inter est to no one; but the disease ques tion must be one that demands consideration, so long as men eat meat, and babies drink milk. The great controversy at St. Lou is came in the Committee on Reso lutions. After a contest lasting nearly two days, resolutions favor ing a Fational cattle trail and pro tection against pleuro-pneumonia, rinderpest, and foot and mouth disease, were reported to the con vention. The temper of the convention would not indorse the resolutions, if splenix or Texas fever were in cluded. The Kansas delegates were urgent in their demands for protec tion against Texas fever. So were those of Mississippi lowa and Illi nois. But the delegates from the Kansas City Stock-yards, twenty eight in number, with the forty-six the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, could outvote all the States east of the Missippi, and those of Missou ri, Kansas and Ohio. The convention resulted in a jol ly good time to the cowboys from Texas and the plains, and in an or ganization named the National Cat tie and Horse-growers Association of America. It organized with a membership of about four hundred. As indi vidual membership obtained rather than representation of States and Territories and associations, it is plain that its control has been giv en over to men not so much inter ested in the growing of cattle as in the soling and shipping of them. It is an association which the produ cers of cattle will avoid, unless they wish to aid in the humiliating busi ness of adjusting the halter about j their own necks. The cattle growers of Texas who seek an outlet for their stock to the j North and East will now come to Washington and that the settlers be exclued from a belt of land six miles wide and twelve hundred miles long, with large bodies of land adjoining suitable for quaran tine. The rangeinen of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Dakota, Montano and Nevada are united as one man in their desire to have the public domain leased in vast tracts to cattle companies for grazing purposes. The settlers are encroaching on their ranges, and the cattle men will seek security in the perpetual enjoyment of the gnu's and water of the , public do main. For the security they will generously pay an annual rental of one cent an acre, if they can not get it for less. They seem to be anxious to pay something for that which they have long enjoyed for nothing. Rut the westward march of civilization is tramelling them. The settler and the squatter are in their way. To get possession of the public domain and to secure a Notional cattle trail six or more miles wide, from the Red River of the South to the Red River of the North, will be the great job to engage the atten tion of the willing Congressman. Already some of the wide-awake Senators and Congressmen are in terested in the cattle business in New Mexico and elsewhere. The profits of cattle-growing, where the climate is mild and feed costs nothing and shelter is unnecessary are immense. The St. Louis Convention lias or ganized the forces ofthe plains and the canons of all the domain west of the 100th Meridan. That em braces about one half the area of the United States and the Territo ries. Are the people of the States rea dy to stand and deliver? If not, here are problems worthy of their careful and prompt attention. L. N. B. The Atlanta Constitution, In a long article relating to the B.
