Ti’c Dcpa'ri.iii'*'il of Agriculture
is to In- represented at the New ().-
leans Exposition by a sorghum-f< and
iiog. (hmiiuissioner is going along
o si ■ that his hog has a fair show.
'i !ic only thingthnt Comnossion'T
Loiing e aims for hs sorghum-fed
Img aji|i;.,-ently is that hoge can he
rorde fat on sorghum. Hogs get
fed on mud, also, and there arcoth
e v things cheaper than sorghum up
on which hogs maybe made fat.
The most economical way of
fitti mug an animal is the quickest
way—that is by liberal feeding of
the must fiittcmng food up to tile
point when no more f.'od can be
digested When indige iion occurs
then the food is wasted and more
than that, the food already turned
*ntn flesh is also wasted because
the flesh is lost by the disorder of
the animal. Cure is to he taken,
therefore not to over feed but to
gradually bring the feeding up to
the safe point where most good is
done.
There is nothing gained by any
treatment of lmum e excepting that
by good management waste is avoid
ed and an earlier decomposition is
seemed. It is a good plan to mix the
different kinds of manure, and espe
cially horse manure, which is dry
and hot, with pig and cow immure,
which are wet and cold. Some good
farmers use the horse manure for
little in the pig pens and yards, by
whiell it is worked over and made
fine and grentlvimproved.

The feeding value of cottonseed

ii is estimated at about three and
mu-half; lines as much as good liny

2d jx r cent, of fat, with about 20per

Upon this account its manorial
value is very high ami more than
that of any other food being rated
at about $27 per ton of the meal.

Whi'e much is tine to the labors
ofseient’fic men in respect of our

vet it is to the work of practical
no n that we are indebted for the
accurate useful information which
helps farmers and other cultivators

Division of Rewards Unequal.
To-day a farmer asked, “YvTint
arc we to do ?” and added : “I have
done my level be i, made the big
gest crop I have in twenty years,
and yeti can’t pay out. There is
no money in it.” This man had
experience, intelligence, skill, ener-*
gy and economy. His wife was
a model of excellence. His sons
worked, he had tenants, croppers
and hand for standing wages. His
farm was above the average. Theie
was no sickness, no tuition bill, or
next to none. Butter, eggs, fruit—
fresh and dried —and vegetables
were constantly sold. He raised
corn, meat, wheat and oats, ginned
his cotton at home and sold it at an
average of nine cents, and yet, tho’
he fulfills all the apparent condi
tions of a successful farmer, this
man declare there is nothing in it.
I met one of his tenants yesterday
on his way to town to live next
year. He said he couldn’t make a
living on the farm. Had the “Boss”
swindled the cropper, or the crop
per robbed the boss, one might
have had something; but each was
satisfied the crop was large, the di
vision fair and both were bankrupt ,
so far as the year’s business goes.
What was the matter?
It couldn’t he in the method of
hiring since all the methods used
were tried, ft couldn’t be a want
of “diversity” for every crop that
could bo used or sold was raised.
It couldn’t be buying supplies on
.iivie, for 'base w ' ■ raised at home.
What, did 1o do with his money?
His sons in ended to the ginning
aI 1 lU""t- ‘ : 11 erie t| )( > -ov. 'ey
of small :'.i, tile gathering the
corn, am! t , rim stock* and he find
to hire the ; irai-'g <,t his codon.
He bought Ids hoys mm eloriie:-,
paid Ins • oof and blacksmith hi
for his bagging and ties and .piano,
and it was gone.
What is the remedy ? At pres-
otri the most popular reply is ‘‘ln
tensifying,” Intensified fanning
means increased production. In
creased production means a lower
price for cot ton, and a higher price
for picking, tools, bagging, ties and
fertilizers. My friend testing the
intensifying idea, put a ton of gu
ano on an acre, and got two bales of
cotton weighing one thousand and
forty-five pounds, lie put a ton of
guano into two bales of cotton, paid
three hundred and eighty pounds
for the guano, and had left six hun
deed and sixty-five pounds of cot-
ton from an acre free from cost of
fertilizers, and yet if this idea were
generally adopjed and could be sue
cessful'y carried out, the cotton
pickers, guano men and rail roads
would get the benefit, while over
production would bankrupt the far
mer. But. 1 digress. The pertinent
question is: What is the remedy
when a good farmer complies won
all apparentconditions of success .
and yet fails ? It will he noticed
there was no trouble about ihe mak
in;? of the crop, )mt after it was
ready for the gathering, labor other
than that whieh grew it and mate
rial produced by that agricultural
capital and labor, took tlie proceeds
of the crop, leaving nothing for the
producers. The division of the re
wards between agricultural and
other labor is unequal. A negro
woman picking cotton will earn on
an average twice the daily wages
of her husband who cultivates the
crop. A Studebaker wagon, an Ac
me or Thomas harrow, a Syracuse
or Oliver plow, and every agricultu
ral implement on down to a twen
ty-five cent scooter, costs the farm
er from two to five times what it
would if the capital and labor em
ployed in their manufacture, met
no greater reward than that inves
vested in fanning. The reason of
th's is plain, the number of men en
gaged in wearing out manufactured
articles is altogether disproportion
ate to those engaged in their pro
duction. There is no wrong, out
rage, fraud, imposition or other
thing waich justifies the calling of
names. It is simply a matter of
egitimate business, regulate and by
supply and demand, and there is
hut one remedy. That is in the
diversion of capital and labor irom
the production of the raw material,
into the creation of manufactured
goods, until the rewards for capital
and labor invested in agriculture
shal 1 equal that of like investment
in other pursuits.
It is not the purpose of this arti
cle to urge the wholesale abandon-;
mont of the farm, or to intimate!
that the merchant or manufacturer
reclines on a bed of ease while
wealth flows into his coffers. Yet
no observant man can fail to
see that there are hundreds of
men all over this country, who
| for some reason are unfit to be
| farmers and who 'are dragging
out a miserable existence between
; the plow handles, or are frittering
| away their fortunes on free negroes,
who might in a congenial pursuit
achieve success. To these it is in
tended to suggest that they think,
resolve and act with the incoming
year.
Recently I saw two youths whose
father had been to me well known
in my boyhood. One with flashing
eye and ponderous blows with a
sledge hammer was making the
sparks to fly from a red hot b:.r;
| while the other with steady eye
and skillful hand was driving a saw
through a piece of timber,and leould
but wonder at the improvement they
bid fair to be, not only on those
who had gone before, but on what
they might, have been themselves
had they followed the footstep: of
their fathers.

Nflti ve Sugar.
I The sugar manufacturing interests
j over the world are suffering great
i Iv. The culture of beet sugar has
| been stimulated by bounties and
| other inbneements to such an extent
j that a fabric of industry and pm-!
j duetion has been built up rmi' li !
j hi rher and broader than the he*- - ’ • -
i consumption would warrant, and!
: as a necessary consequence has top-1
] pled and has brought to ruin with i
;! only the European mam;!:;,
ilurorandthe beet grower, hut the
j cane growt rs on this side of the
j Atlantic, and the sorghum sugar
in !ts as well, ft is a great disaster j
! in our infant inlerprise in the last j
| mentioned direction. For a few
j years past there have been hopeful:
j promise ofentire success in making j
sugar from sorghum, and factories j
have sprung tip in many directions :
from New Jersey to Kansas and
from New- Y ork to Texas. Just as
success appeared to he in the grasp
oftlie enterprising sugarmakers a j
flood of foreign beet sugar overflow- {
ed from Europe and overwhelmed !
all these young and promising en
terprises. It is a hitter reverse to
those who have begun this business
and to the fanners who luye assis- j
ed them, hut although the loss and |
disappointment are great they
should not fend to the abandon
ment of thejbrrsiness. The farmers
will lie the least sufferers, because
they can make use of the cane for
fodder in some way until the sugar
business recovers from its present
prostration, and for this reason
they can afford to wait for the re
turn of prosperity, which cannot
he long denied to one of the leading
industries of the world. When this
happens the manufacture will hej
resumed, and, after all, the reverse
is no greater than has happened]
heretofore, and is to be looked for,
in the course of such business as
tin’s, and from which other great
industries have been suffering.
Speculation in Wheat.
A little speculative movement ;
a tTeoting any commodity may ex-;
erf a healthy influence; but then !
again, .it is more apt to work great
! injury. Owing to a succession ofj
! bad years in Europe, there arose
! after 187(5 a demand tor wheat which
this country alone was in a posi
tion to supply, ft reaped a band
some profit, from this operation,and
it was assumed that the United
States had become the granary off
Europe.
Now, when the wheat growing
[area in this country has been large
jly increased and when the produc
tion is still largely in excess of the
! home demand, we find ourselves-j
I almost excluded from the foreign
market. Some good agricultural
years in Europe and India and Ans
tralialnive either decreased the
needs of foreign food supplies in
European markets or have given as
good an article as we can fur nish
at ; s low or even a lower price. In
tliisintense competition, every pen
ny in the cost of production, in the
cost of transpoatation, and ill all
all the incidental charges attaching
to the wheat before it reaches the
consumer, tells, and handicaps the
people that are so taxed. Specula
tion in whotg has done more to
cheek exports tbananv other one ;
circumstance. Or consuls abroad
are calling attention to the misehic i
vous effects of gambling in grain j
on our exports, but we do not see !
how it can be prevented.
The growth of trees, as well as j
j grains, may be promoted by man- j
! ure. Top-dressing the ground about j

Did you evertbink how little a
Georgia farmer over thinks about
the comfort of domestic animals?
Perhaps if there was more breed
ing of animals in Georgia, there
would be more concern about their
comfort in winter, as the profit in a
great degree would depend on it.
The close Yankee says a good shel
ter with little feed is better and
cheaper than a poor shelter and
much feed.
The theory of the careless man,
that exposure makes stock hardy,
is exploded. Our domestic animals
are not in a state of nature. The
cattle and swine of our fathers
found comfort in the thick forests
and clean beds of leaves, and shel
! tered from winds, and were more
| healthy than the average farm stock
! simply because they were comfor
table and had better air to breath
and a better variety of food. They
had more uniform living. It was
not housed in a close’ stuffy, filthy
stable or sty one day out in the
the blasts and storms of the next.
Now, if we are to keep stock
healthy’ they must be as comforta
ble as we can make them. They
j arc not in a state of nature, and in
the domestic state the farmer must
j anticipate their wants and meet
j them.
| A paper contributed by Dr. Bruck
ner to the ” Proceedings of the
; Vienna Academy of Sciences" upon
j the chemical characteristics of
j starch gives some interesting in
i formation to all feeders of stock,
i It appears that starch may he made
| soluble in cold water or digestible
in the stomach of an animal by the
mere cracking of the granules. Each
~i ain of starch is enveloped in a
membrane, which protects tile in
terior layers of the grain from the
action of liquid and so renders the
starch insoluble. It lias long been
known that starch grains are insol
uble in cold watermill in any liquid !
at less than a boiling heat, but it
has not been so well known that j
whi'ii crushed or fractured the]
grains can be dissolved in cold j
water, although it bus been believed I
that they could be digested in the ]
stomach. Feeders of cattle will then
exercise economy by grinding the
grain used for feeding as fine as!
possible, and the finer the grain is
ground the more easily it is di-J
gented.
The House by a decisive vote, |
! passed the bill to create a Bureau
j of Agriculture. The proposed mcas
] ure. gives the chief of this Bureau j
! a seat in the Cabinet. A great deal
!of money has been wasted of late
years by the Le Dues and Boring
: in < iiargt- of theoretical agriculture !
j in Washington City, and if dignifv
j ing the department wish a place in
the-Cabinet will put a stop to tom- 1
foolery the public will prolixly be
satisfied.

j For one reason or another there is
! a rapid depreciation in the prices off
] English farms. The great and gencr
| a! reduction in the price of wheat is
(doubtless a potential reason. Old!
j manors, with fine’ spacious build- :
| ings. which have heretofore been!
! deemed too precious to be sold,;
may now. in many instances, hej
j purchased at very low prices.
The warm weather that has fol- •
I lowed the rains since the protract- 1
led dronth has caused the small ’
j grain to come up nicely. It now
! appears that it was decidedly tho j
1 utter plan to have sown oats at!
once, after the first rains.
