Agricultural jJEpartrnEnt,
The Crops.
Nearly all the crops have turned
out better than was expected. The
cotton will yield about six and a half
millions of bales. Texas takes the
lead with 1,490,032. Georgia follows
next highest being reported at 928,000
bales; Mississippi comes next at 839,000,
Alabama follows with 798,000, and
Arkansas with 643,425. These esti
mates with the other cotton States,
make a grand total as estimated
above. The corn turns out quite sat
isfactorily at 1,668,000,000, being upon
an average 22 bushels per acre. Oth
er crops; potatoes, buckwheat, hay
and tobacco, are in sufficient quanti
ties to meet the wants of consumers,
and in tobacco, the export demand.
Plant an acre of ground in peas and
an acre in cotton, side by side; fertilize
them equally, and cultivate both with
equal faithfulness: give like care to
gathering the yield of both; keep the
cotton and peas until spring, and
place them on the market; and if the
peas don’t bring in a bigger sum of
money than the cotton—w ithout tak
ing into account the greater cost of
producing the latter, we’ll agree nev
er to run for office, or make another
weather prediction, while the world
stands,
it to make a dense sod, which is green
the whole year, excepting for a few
weeks in the dryest of the hot season
of late summer and early fall. It seems
impossible to kill this grass, excepting
by plowing and cultivating, because
of its peculiar habit, which gives it
a special value for field growth. This
grass yields a large quantity of hay, and
the finest pasture. As much as four
tons of hay per acre has been made in
an ordinary season at one cutting,
when the grass has been put in in the
best manner on good soil. This has
been stated repeatedly by the best
and most experienced practical farni-
ers in the South, and can be readily
believed by one who observes its
growth and habit with a practiced
eye. Clover, contrary to the common
belief, grows luxuriantly in the South,
and we have recently seen large fields
of it which will easily make two
tons of hay per acre at the first cut
ting. This is a most important fact,
for Southern farmers, who can easily
figure up for themselves the value of
such a crop, grown with such little la
bor. Hay is now worth $20 a ton,
and we have seen large piles of it in
bales at every distributing point on
the railroads traversed, which have
been brought from Northern markets
for the use of planters who have been
growing cotton for the paltry sum
of $8 to $15 per acre, when they might
realize $40 per acre for one cutting of
clover. The plowing under of the sec
ond crop, or the manuring of the
land with the refuse from feeding the
first crop would easily quadruple
the yield of cotton. A farmer who
has done this for three years past has
grow f n 700 pounds of ginned cotton to
the acre, as the result of this enlight
ened method of culture. Orchard
grass is also an excellent variety for
the South, and thousands of acres of
it are grown specially for seed in Ken
tucky and parts of Tennessee. This
is one of the permanent grasses, and
is valuable for both hay and pasture.
Kentucky bluegrass is another most
valuable pasture grass, and its run
ning and spreading roots soon fill the
soil and cover the land with a dense
verdure, which affords, when reserved
for the purpose a fine winter pas
ture for slock. These grasses alone
would enrich the South, not only by
their intrinsic value for feeding," but
by their culture changing the present
exhaustive and wasteful system
would increase the other staple crops
and make Southern agriculture self
sustaining as regards fodder and 'ma
nure, and productive of a vast amount
of wealth which is now missed.—Nev/

POTATO ROT.
The potato rot is caused by a para
sitic fungus, Phytophthora infestans,
which grows in leaves and stems as
well as in tubers. Early in the grow
ing season the external threads of the
fungus may be detected on the stems
and leaves of the tobacco in the form
of patches of fine white mould which
causes, later on, a more or less exten
sive browning and decay of these
parts. The rot of the tubers may be
either dry or wet, and may continue
after the potatoes are dug and housed
The disease has been known for many
years._ It is present each year, but is
disastrous only in exceptional sea
sons. It is believed to be worse in
wet than in dry weather; on low land
than on uplands; on clay soil than
on sand; in thin-skinned white varie
ties than in thick-skinned red ones.
First—In your county about what
per cent, of this year’s potato crop
was destroyed by rot ?
Second—What per cent, of last
year’s crop was so destroyed?
Third—About what per cent, of the
harvested crop of 1885 was lost during
the winter and spring by a continua
tion of the rot in cellars and storage
pits? ^
Fourth—Were any varieties entire
ly free from rot, or freer than others?
Fifth—Was the season in 1886 wet
or dry? In 1885?
Sixth—Did early or late varieties
rot most?
Seventh—Did you observe any in
stances in which location (wet or dry),
or quality of soil (sand, loam, clay,
etc.) affected the severity of the dis
ease? >
Eighth—Did the weather (cold or
hot, wet or dry) exert any marked in
fluence? •
Ninth—What remedies or means of
prevention, if any, did you try? and
with what results?
In case there was no rot, your state
ment to that effect will be of use.

R. F. Ayant.
A general belief is said to prevail
“among farmers that there is a differ
ence in the germinating properties of
light and dark clover seed, but it is
not agreed among them which is bet
ter. Prof. Beal, of Michigan, has
been making some experiments which
show that there is little difference. In
one experiment ninety-three per cent,
of the dark seeds grew and eighty-two
per cent, of the light colored seeds.
This difference might easily be made
in other unnoted conditions, and in
another experiment the result was re
versed.”—Courier Journal.
Spread a foot in depth of muck,
roughlv; whiten it all over with fresh
lime from the kiln; add more muck
and more lime, and so on until the
heap is five feet high. It will soon
get hot and keep hot, and in the
spring will be a sweet, dark, rich mass
of valuable fertilizer, having from
twenty to fifty pounds of nitrogen,
worth 15 to 20 cents a pound in artifi
cial fertilizers, in every ton of it.
More muck may be put in the cow
vard; in the stable gutters; and es
pecially in the pig-pen along with the
horse manure, which will all be turn
ed over and over and worked up to a
rich compost with the refuse of the
pig-pen. Making manure is a fine art
far too little studied by farmers.
Where swamp muck cannot be pro
cured, leaves, straw, chaff, and any or
all other vegetable matter may be
gathered for this purpose.
Grass.
Grass is the greatest need of the
South. Without a rotation of crops
there can not be any successful agri-
cluture, and, without grass or clover,
there can not be any successful rota
tion of crops, nor, without these and
other feeding crops, can there be any
manure at all adequate to the necessi
ties of the land. The great advanta
ges of grass and clover are the roots
and stubble of these crops, occasion
al plowing under of the whole growtb.
which furnishes a large amount of
fertilizing matter. This, most impor
tant branch of agriculture is almost
unknown in the Southern States, and,
in consequence of it, the yield of the
crops commonly grown, and which
are exceedingly exhaustive, is exceed
ingly meager, and wholly unprofita
ble to yie farmers. This is proved by
the general average, as shown by the
statistics of the Agricultural Depart
ment, by which it is seen that the
yield of cotton is no more than 150
pounds to the acre, worth, at the
present price, less than $9, while the
yield of corn is no more than five to
seven bushels in the majority of cases,
and that of wheat is no more. This is
the inevitable result of the present
system, in which grass has no place at
all. Grass, however, flourishes as
Avell in the South as any where else,
and some indigenous varieties grow
there to a perfection known in no
other part of the Union. We have
recently passed through three of the
best Southern agricultural States, and
have specially noticed the Bermuda
grass, which "is one of the most alarm
ing bugbears of the cotton planter,
and have observed its very great val
ue for permanent pasture and hay.
This is the lawn grass of the Southern
climate, and its running roots cause
The egg traffic of this country has
risen to an importance which few com
prehend.^ The aggregate transactions
in New* York city alone must amount
fully to $8,000,000 per annum, and in
in the United States to $18,000,000.
A single firm in that line of business
East handled $1,000,000 worth of eggs
during the year. In Cincinnati, too,
the traffic must be proportionately
large. In truth, the great gallinace
ous tribe of our country barnyards
contributes in no small degree to
human subsistence, eggs being rich in
nutrive properties—equal to one-half
their entire weight. Goose, duck and
hen eggs are the principal kinds pro
duced in America.
The perishable nature of eggs has
naturally detracted from their value
as a standard article of diet. The
peculiar excellence of eggs depends on
their freshness. But lately the pro
cess of crystallizing has been resort
ed to, and by this process the natural
egg is converted into a delicate am
ber tint, in which form it is reduced
seven-eighths in bulk, and retains its
properties for years unimpaired by
any climate. This is indeed an achieve
ment of science and mechanical in
genuity, and has a most important
bearing on the question of cheaper
food, by preventing waste, equalizing
prices throughout the year, and regu
lating consumption. In this form eggs
may be transported without injury,
either to the equator or to the pole's,
and at any time can be restored to
their original condition simply by
adding the water which has been ar
tificially taken away. The chief egg-
desiccating companies are in St. Louis
and New York. No salts or other ex
traneous matters are introduced in
the process of crystallizing; the pro
duct is simply a consolidated mixture
of the yolk and albumen. Immense
quantities of eggs are preserved in
the spring of the year by liming.
Thus treated they are good for every
purpose except boiling. It is a com
mon trick for some dealers to palm off
eggs so treated for fresh, so that im
position is easily practised. In the
desiccation process, however, the dif
ference becomes apparent, as from
four to five more limed eggs are re
quired to make a pound of eggs crys
tallized than when fresh are used,
and eggs in the least tainted will not
crystallize at all.
Some of the most experienced egg
dealers declare that there is no profit
in raising poultry to compare with
producing eggs. A single hen will lay
from twelve to fifteen dozen eggs per
annum, selling at an average of thir
teen cents per dozen, and the birds
thus occupied can be housed and fed
for less than fifty cents for the whole
period. There is no reason why the
crystallizing process should not become
quite general, and egg production
stimulated as never before, and the
food supply receive a large accession
from this source. The already great
and increasing consumption of*eggs in
England and France shows growing
appreciation for this kind of foodcom-
P ared with any other. In Lima,
eru > eggs sell at one dollar per dozen
—equal to four dollars per pound
crystalized. It is thought that this
new process for utilizing the industry
of our hens and pullets may be very
acceptable, as well as beneficial, in a
business and domestic point of view.—
