HIS MONTHLY TALK WITH THE
GEORGIA FARMERS
On Subjects of General Interest Per
taining to the Farm and
Garden—Good Advice.
Agricultural Department,
Atlanta, Dec. 1., 1893.
In this, closing month of the year,
there is much that can be done on the
southern farm, and whenever the
weather permits the plows, double if
possible, should be kept moving. This
work is important, more so than most
farmers realize, und it is maintained by
the highest scientific authority, and
proven by some practical fanners, emi
nent for their success, that with deep
plowing and manuring with groen crops
it is possible to sustain and improve the
fertility of lands without using one
pound of commercial fertilizers. Betl is
as it may, competent chemists assure us
that there are bound up in the soil min
eral elements sufficient to supply the
crops of thousands of years. This being
true, why should the farmer hesitate to
unlock these hidden stores?
Put Hie plow in deep and bring the
subsoil to the surface —where it can be |
directly acteil upon by sun, air and win
ter rains, anil thus undergo the neces
sary chemical changes. If you are in
doubt try a small spat* as an experi
ment. In sowing some small grain re
cently, 1 have had this fact very forcibly
illustrated, and as I pass by the spot
oach morning I have a daily object les
son of the effect* of deep stirring of the
soil, and bringing W the surface the
organic elements, too far down to be
reached by ordinary methods.
Last year, on the spot mentioned, there
stood a dead oak tree of considerable
size, which, instead of being cut down,
was dug up by the roots, much red clay
lieing brought to the surface in the pro
cess. The greater part of this was
thrown back into the hole, but much re
mained scattered around, causing a spot
so unsightly that I determined, ere
planting it, to haul some woodsearth
and spread over the place. But this was
delayed and when the grain, rye, was
sown it was plowed in just here, the
same as on the otliar land. This sowing
was done in September, and until the
middle of November not one drop of rain
fell on it. The rye came up on the on
tire planting, there was a good “stand,”
but owing to the heat and drouth, and
also to heavy winds, the plants, except
on this spot, were parched and seemed
scarcely alive. Where tne tree had stood
was a patch of vivid groen, and strange
to say, this was not only where the hole
had lieen deeply dug, but as far out as
the clay had lieen thrown. It presented
such a striking contrast to the surround
ing color as to attract my attention, and
set on foot investigations as to the cause,
with the result as stated. Timely rains
revived the drooping grain, all is now
green, but this one spot can still lie dis
tinguished from its surroundings by the
markedly stranger and largor growth.
COMPOST.
Another important work which should
be carried on now is the making of and
protecting compost heaps. To prevent
the “fire fang” which so often indicates
that the manure has lost its principal
and most valuable elements, a good plan
is to mix the manures from cow, sheep
and hog pens with the horse manure, a
layer of each carefully packed. They are
less heating, and if plaster, kainit or
even woods earth can be added the dan
ger of over heating and loss is still fur
ther diminished. If the heaps are under
shelter, so much the fierier, but if that
is impossible, put ou top a layer of earth,
allowing the greatest height in the cen
tre, that the pile may slant towards the
edges and pack down firmly. The sit
uation should be such that no water will
drain on them. By using bedding and
carefully saving all the manure, it is as
tonishing how much can fie aceumufated
in a few months. It is our most perfect,
as well as our safest fertilizer, and if our
farmers would more generally turn their
attention to stopping this, which is both
literally and figuratively one of the big
gest “leaks" on our farms, it would not
lie long before they would realize how
much has lieen wasted in this one item,
and themselves become its warmest ad
vocates.
To show the amount aiul value of the
manure produced from different animals
I append the following, which has been
carefully prepared by Prof. ttol>erts, of
Cornell Experiment Station. He has
given this subject the closest study and
attention, and while, as he says, the
value of the manure depends much on
the character of the food, and also the
purpose for which the auimal is
used, these figures will serve
as an illustration, and will, I
hope, set many a farmer to thinking
and acting who has heretofore been in
different. Once he is convinced that
there is "money in it,” we shall see more
attention given to the keeping of live
stock, and, as a natural sequence, to the
planting of green crops, and then fol
lows the diversified agriculture, which
must be our hope for the future.
Animals which are not producing any
thing, as milk or young, and are not
gaining in weight, return in their void
ings all of the mammal value of the
food they consume; mature fattening
animals, abdut 95 per cent; youngish
growing animals, 90 per cent; cows in
milk, 80 j>er cent; while young nursing
calves take a very large amount of the
manorial constituents of the milk which
sustains them. While the above figures
are not absolutely correct, they serve to
help in determining the real value of
various manures.
The quantity of manure produced per
year by the various classes of animals
was estimated by Boussiangault as fol
lows:
Tons
Lbs. per year.
Horse tl)00 lbs), .liquids, 12,000
Horse solids, 3,000
15,000—7 1-2
Cows liquids, 20,000
Cows solids. 8,000 —14
In 1883-84 the animals kept at the
University barn were estimated to be
equal to 45 mature animals, about two
thirds of which were cattle and one
| third horses. The manure was kept in
a covered barnyard and no loss occurred.
| Every tenth load was weighed and the
| average was computed from these
weighed loads. Seven mouths' feeding
j produced 432 tons, or a trift » over ten
j tons per annual. A faivlv Moral amount
j of bedding was used a id is included in
the above. In 18A4-85 47 full-grown un -
i mals of 900 pounds each produced within
a few pounds of 200 tons of manure in
! five months. The manure as before was
| kept in a covered yard, and this time
i every load was weighed; less bedding
j was used than the previous winter anil
j less cotton seed meal was fed.
Three large cows, liberally fed. when
! producing 31 2 3 pounds of milk per
| day, produced 89 1-2 pounds of manure
»ei cew per day. including five pounds
l bedding. This is rather above the
average amount of manure produced by
large cows in milk. This high average
was orobably due to the consumption of
a ratner large amount ot warm water.
Last year 18 largo Jersey and Hol
stein-Friesian grade cows, in milk, pro
duced in l-4 hours 1,452.5 pounds of
manure.

After many experiments, extending
through several years, the following
estimates of the value p‘-r ton of ma
nures is given. lam well aware that
wide variations will appear from the
figures, still I am quite certain that the
values staled are so nearly the average
of those on the American farm, under
ordinary circumstances, that I believe
they will not only not lead the reader
into serious error, but that they will
greatly assist him in his endeavors to
understand more clearly one phase of
the great question: How can pla its be
fed well and cheaply?
VALUE PER TON OF MANURE I’R'.DUCED
BY VARIOUS CLASSES OF ANIMALS.
Horses $2 80
Cows z si)
Hheop.. 4 00
Swine 2 25
If we multiply the quantity produced
by the value per ton, computing as near
as we may <11!) averages of the expjri
meuts alrif.dy given, with a few others
recently added, wo have the following
value i*‘r 1,000 pounds of live weight of
animal per year, computing nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid at commer
cial values and ignoring small fractions:
Horses if 11) 00
Cows (milch) 2!) 25
.Sheep !18 00
Swine 17 00
Since ordinarily this class of animals
are in their stables but seven months of
the year, au 1 since potash and nitrogen
and phosphoric acid are belived not to
be worth as much in farm manures as
in commercial fertilizers, because they
are less soluble, a considerable allow
ance must be made in this last table.
After careful consideration, with oppor
tunity of wide observation, I conclude
that wo shall arrive at very nearly the
true values if these figures be divided
by throe. It appears to me that this is
a conservative estimate, and, applying
it to a supposable case as follows, will
assist in emphasizing the value of the
manure produced on many a small farm:
Four horses of 1,000 lbs. each, 20 cows
of 800 lhs. each, 50 sheep of 100 lbs.
each, and 10 pigs of 75 pounds each,
would produce, according to the abovo
modified computation, fertility worth
$248.91 in the seven winter months.
THE HOG CROP
in Georgia this year will be larger than
for many years, and I regard this as one
of the strongest evidences of our return
ing prosperity. If fields of peas, ground
peas and potatoes have been provided,
the porkers are in good condition, and
need only a little corn to harden the
tiesh. If the weather permit, it is
always better to kill, if possible, before
Christmas, Ixitti on account of the ex
pense of keeping the hogs up and be
cause the meat, except in rarely excep
tional caies, has a better chance of
curing. I have found the best plan to
be to kill as early in the morning as pos
sible, in order, if there are a considera
ble number of -hogs, to get the meat cut
out, spread un l slightly salted by night.
After cleaning, cut out while the meat
is still warm; lay each piece to itself and
sprinkle o:i salt: leave until morning,
when all ii.iimal heat will have disap
peared, then rub thoroughly with salt,
and pack in boxes or barrels, joints first,
sides last, using plenty of salt; cover and
leave until ready to lie smoked. The
following is, by all odds, the best method
in the many I have seen tried for
