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.
