■yUVIifU OF MANURE
0
The Country Gentleman has an
tick on saving manure in summer,
hicb says the careless farrmr throws
v elea'ings of his stables, and
Ollt the
hi* cattle to run in the yard,
allows droppings and the stable manure
their washed by inns, and ail
being away
he liquid portions wasted except such
" accidentally absorbed by
as i»»y be
the straw and lifter. Others, mere
carefal, secure the liquid manure by
means of gutters in the stable floors
by the use of tnough litter and

jbaorbaots to prevent ns waste.
much straw is emploped the heaps
lelt exposed to rains; if there is
are the heaps shel¬
but little litter, are
tered to prevent; washing. These
various modes of treatment, are
mostly confined to the accumulations
eing winter but to obtain the
largest j mount the required care
should be continued through the
whole year. Too often a waste of
ma teriais is permitted in summer •
The amount ot manure might be
great y increased by saving all that
may be bad the year rouud. Compost
heaps may be formed for securing
liquid as well a solid matters that
am olien permitted to 1 eoome lost.
Housekeepers are sometimes puzzled
to know what t» do with the
various refuse substances at house¬
cleaning, ani straw beds have been
actually emptied into the public
streets. Weeds from the garden
share the same destination. The
l0 ps of early potatoes are left scat¬
tered over the ground to the annoy
ance ofthe future plowman, instead
^
f devoting them to the manure
heap To these might be added the
sernpingsj ot gutters and dishes,
pooryard leaves, waste from the
kitchen, bones aud fish, the daily
cleanings of the pig pen, pea vines,
vault cleanings which have been
mixed by daily additions of coal ashes
or road dust, and droppings from
the keu-housf; aud then throwing
mer tiiis compost medley a sufficient
amount ot slops and other liquids
10 promote some fermentation; and
in a few months the heap may be
worked after some decomposition has
taken place.

He clears away offensive matter,
and he adds to his yearly supply ot
manure. By carefully preventing
any waste at his barns, beside adding
all these resources, the amount
home made fertilizers may be at
least tripled, as compared with the
amount obtained by the careless
farmer.
THE NEW SOUTH.
The wonderful strides Georgia and
the south have made in material
progress in the last decade has at
tracted universal attention aud corn
raent over the entire couniry. The
history of the world does not show
a people who have so quickly recover
fd from the devastating effects of a
long aud desperately fought war,
Aud in this new order of things on
people were ever more cordial or
sincere in tt eir welcome to former
enemies wh n they come i.\to oui
midst. Geordia lacks capital
manufacturing enterpises, and to
those who will give her these she
ners tvery induct mem —h larg' per
tent, on money aud a safe aud sure
dividend on all useful enterprises.
The Hartford Courant, published
sway up in Connecticut, on this sups
J e,! t has this to say: “We have pass
«d the period of sectional agitation in
tffi country, so tar as issues growing
0I1 t of the war and reconstruction
are concerned and for the people of
*he south, this is a happy consutnma
lon ; for they have outgrown many
their animosities and prejudices,
iBd are devoting themselves to the
'Welopment of the rich resources of
iheii section with the aid of foreign
®P'tal and enterprise. The yankee
A factor'in beginning to be an important

lnc cef>s, which were first exhibited

,e <»gnized as valuable to all the
states of 1 he south and west; and ids
activity has taken hold of the men of
the south themselves, who are mak¬
ing of their country what it never
would have been under the old res
gime. As disastrous as war was to
the south, it is richer in all material
things losday than it ever was before ;
and the present evidences of
prosperity are but tokens ot great
future.”

Stock Raising Destined to Play
an Important part in South¬
ern Development.
A good deal ot attention is being
paid in Georgia to stock raising, and
while it is comparatively a new in¬
dustry, the experiment has been
sufficiently tried to demonstrate its
practicability and that money can be
made out «,f the business. In the
vicinity ofGrffin theie is considerable
interest being manifested in this
industry.
‘‘Coiton is king,I” and will remain
It is the money basis of our ag¬
ricultrre, and it would bo nothing
short of financ al suicide for the south
t 0 abandon its cultivation but under
present systerm of agriculture
the hoary-headed monarch, is yearly
impoverish ng its subjects. Div
ersifnd agriculture, as well as
diverstied manufacturing and^ indus¬
trial and coiuercial pursuits, is the
only salvation of the south—the
surest, quickest and only rou e to
our material developement and to
make available all the wonderful
resources nature has placed within
our reach. The south, to be prosper¬
ous, must be self-sustaining, it must
make more than it consumes. While
we are now making rapid strides in
manufacturing progress and in ag¬
ricultural products, we are lagging
behind in stock raising. The bulb
of our horses and mules come from
the west, beef is shipped all the way
from Illinois, nearly every man has
his smokehouse a miles from home,
and is at ihe mercy of speculators
for the clothes he wears and food he
eats. There is an easy way out of
all ibis.
It is Burmuda grass!
Burmuda is the only reliable perenial
grass we have for summer pasturage,
It is unsurpassed for richenss and
nutriment for stock, It affords an
impenetrable sod,|w hich; completely
piotecis the gronud from washing
and injury by the trampling of stock,
it year y enriches the soil, and in
rich, moist bottom land is the best
nay crop that can be grown. It is
easily propagated and kept witniu
within bounds when the proper at¬
tention is paid it. Commissioner
Henderson says of it: < ( Burmuda is
eminently the summer grass of ihe'
south, and will prove a blessing to
southern agriculture when the
prejudices which now prevail against
it shall have been overcome and it
shall take the place in our system
which a is, beyond question, destined
to fill ” While it is regarded simply
as a summer grast, it furnishes
excellent winter grazing, it tlways
being green near the roots. Horses
an( j mu les thrive on it, wnile it is
unsurpassed as a pasture for cows,
sheep, goals and hogs. With a good
Buitnuda pasture stock raising call
be made a profital le and pleasant
pursuit sndiu the new order of things
j n the sou h where enterprise is
reachirg fourth its tireless hands
an( j utilizing every means towards
southern developement, stock raiss
j,,g j 8 destined to be an important
tactor.
We shall have more to say of Bur¬
muda soon, and shall give all facts
relative to ihe grass and stock raising
we can gather.
