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/ York Times, — Crystallized Eggs. 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. 183611[SWIFT’S SPECIFIC.11 llftaa s s s s s s s s A REMEDY NOT P0R A DAY, BUT FOR’ HALF A CENTURY RELIEVING SUFFERING HUMANITY!

Holloway, 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.— [.Cincinnati Commercial.
