Chufas for Hogs.
From the Southern Cultivator.
With propitious seasons apd judi
cious management, the farmers of this
section of Louisiana can raise a wood
cotton crop and corn enough to
supply their families, feed their mules
and horses, and those working good
■ • ‘ ’ in
land limy make a surplus. I hold,
however, that this is not a corn
country, and while it is the duty of
every farmer to raise his own meat,
he cannot afford to do so here and de
pend entirely upon his corn crop as a
means by which the pig is to be
brought to the porker and stored in
tiie smoke-house. If he does this his
bacon will cost him more than Wes
tern bacon bought at retail price.
What, I ask the Cultivator, shall we
do, then! 1 Raise cotton with which to
buy meat? Not so; that theory may
seem plausible, but thousands of us
have demonstrated to our sorrow tlmt>
practically it Is false. Now, my solu
lion 'of this question lies in the chufu
chiefly; yet ground-peas and potatoes
are gooii: the Held pea and the sor
ghums have their place, and 1 plant

them all, but it is of the chufu that I
propose now to speak, as it has sug
gested this communication. The
great objective point with every farm
er ought to be to get the largest yield,
or rather the biggest profit from
whatever he plants; therefore in the
process of pork-making the ciiufa
stands almost without u rival, in my
opinion. It is as easily cultivated as
corn, more easily and successfully
transplanted (when stand is defective)
than the sweet potato, most wonder
fully adapted to poor laud, making a
greater yield on impoverished soil
than anything, needs no gathering ex-
eept for seed, will lie in ground ull
winter without decay, and 1 am sat
isfied, on good soil, suited to their
growth, two hundred bushels or more
may be made to the acre. 1 meas
ured the space of one yard on a row
and gotfroinitlialfagallonnuts. The
land is gray sandy soil, rather thin,
tili:
and I used no fertilizer. I had only u
half acre planted, and while my hogs
were not poor to begin with, they
had access to them about a month,
and I did not feed exceeding two
bushels of corn during the whole pro
cess of fattening. 1 killed about four
teen hundred pounds pork, solid and
sweet, and got as nice white lard as
was ever seen. 1 think one-fourth of
the chufas are in the ground yet,
wuicli my stock hogs will get. 1 ex
pect to plant live or six acres this
year in the ciiufa, and I propose to
fatten fifty or sixty head of, hogs,
and on laud, too, that will not make
over ten bushels of corn to the acre.
1 am a reader and ardent admirer
of tlie Cultivator, and a subscriber
by proxy. My father was a subscri
ber from its earliest establishment
until the war, and perhaps until his
death. The “Federal Union’' and the

part of the civilized globe, but, as a
matter of fact, by far the great major
ity arc Italians. There are some Irish
and some Knglisii, French and Her
mans among the immigrants. Hut
more numerous than all these com
bined are the Italians. They make
good laborers. They build our rail
ways and canals. The ranks of our
porters, navvies, milkmen, brick-ma
sons and carpenters are largely re
cruited from tliisclass. Our buildings
are gimular to those in Spain and
Italy, with largo courtyards in the
centre.
“The streets of Buenos Ayres are
laid out at right angles like those of
Philadelphia. They are illuminated
by gas and electric lights for example.
Nearly every street that deserves the
name is connected with the rest of the
city by tramways, of which we have
by the way, a greater number than
any other city in the world in propor
tion to its inhabitants.’”
TIIK CLIMATIC.
"How is the climate?”
“Superb. It is very similar to that
of California—mild, dry and healthful.
That we are a reading public may be
gathered from the fact that our city
supports three English, two Italian,
one French, one German and one
Spanish daily newspapers. Our four
or five theatres are well patronized,
and I may say en passant that some
of the lyric artists who visit our shores
will not come to the United States be
cause you cannot afford to pay them
as we do. We get our fashions direct
from Paris. Our streets are filled
with well dressed men and women
strolling through them. One might
well imagine himself in Fifth avenue.
Half our population is composed of
foreigners, who are as a rule the best
representatives of the countries from
which they come. Let me give you
an illustration of Buenos Ayres us a
commercial centre. Our largest bank
ing institution is the Banco de la Pro-
▼incia de Buenos Ayres. It has a
gold capital of thirty-five millions. Its
fixed deposits amount to about ninety
million dollars. The Italian bank has
a capital of three millions and there
are numerous others. On each steam
er day the foreigners flock to these
banks by the thousands almost to
purchase bills of exchange for remit
tance home.”
WHERE AMERICA GETS LEFT.
“How many steamship lines have
you?”
“Thirty. It is wonderful, is it not?
The English own a majority of these.
The Italians have several. Germany
has two, France has one, and now
poor, poverty stricken Spain lias add
ed another to the list.”
“And the United States—how many
have they?”
Mr. Sanford’s answer was an ironi
cal smile, a shrug of the shoulders and
a laconic “None.”
“Formerly,” he said, “the United
States controlled the largest share of
the trade with the Argentine Repub
lic. Twenty years ago sixty or seventy
vessels flying the American flag were
no unusual sight in the harbor of
Buenos Ayres. At the present time
tlie appearance of half a dozen would
be a matter for comment.”
“Why is this?”
“Simply because sailing vessels can
not compete with steamships. So
long as tlie United States lias no
steam connections they must give
way to foreign nations that have.
Goods, materials and almost every
thing in the United States exports
oes to Soutli America via England.

“The popular impression regarding
tlie city of Buenos Ayres is that it is a
mild, half civilized place, not unlike
an American frontier town. There
could be no greater mistake.”
The speaker Was Mr. Charles H.
Sanford, a member of the firm of
Samuel B. Hale A: Co., of Buenos
Ayres.
* “Buenos Ayres,” Mr. Sanford con
tinued, “is the Chicago of Soutli
America, it is not a languorous, tropi
cal city where siestas and day dreams
form the chief element of existence.
It is a city as live, progressive and
enterprising as any in the Northern
or Western States. It has a popula
tion of 400,000. If its ratio of increase
shall continue as it has in tlie past
we shall reach 900,000 in the next de
cade. The immigration to the Ar
gentine Republic is not less than 125,-
000 annually.”
“From what countries do these peo
ple come?”
“I niijht properly say from every
quicker and cheaper to order from
that oountry direct.
“It is one of our clap trap theories,”
continued Mr. Hanford, “that the war
drove our commerce off the seas.
Such declarations are absurd. The
war had little to do with it. It was
the splendid English steamship ser
vice that did it.”
“But why do not tlie Americans
build steamers too?” queried the Her
ald correspondent.
“The English subsidize their steam
ship lines for many years until they
become self-supporting. The Ger
mans are doing the same thing and so
are the French and the Italians. Hure-
ly the principle must be a corroct one
or tlie great powers would not adopt
it would they? Our Government,
however, will not do this. If an
American line had a fair subsidy for a
few years its business would ultimately
develop until its carrying trade would
sustain it. The United States ought
to control half the trade of the Ar
gentine Republic. It naturally be
longs to us. As a matter of fact, we
get only a fraction of it.”
FRIENDLY TO THE UNITED STATES.
“Are tlie people of that country
friendly to the United States?”
“Unusually so. They like us so well
that they took us for their model and
adopted our constitution verbatim et
literatim, with the exception that their
Presidents are elected for one term of
six years, which disqualifies them
from ever serving again in a similar
capacity.”
“What are the principal exports
from tlie Argentine Republic?”
“The greatest export is wool, und
after that hides. The wool export
alone amounts annually to $35, 000,-
000. Our export list, which formerly
comprised but the two articles I have
named, now numbers about twenty in
ail, among which is wheat and corn,
for which we find a ready market in
Great Britain. Twenty years ago we
imported our Hour from Baltimore)
To-day hundreds of mills are grinding
Hour forexport. Our commercial im
portance will also be further increased
upon tlie completion of the new line
of railway through the Andes to Val
paraiso. This will reduce the present
time of travel from fourteen days to
two and a-lialf, and muke the whole
Pacific coast seek Buenos Ayres as an
entrepot for Europe.
“Our soil, I ought to say, in con
clusion, is so fertile that in the sheep
raising districts it will support four
sheep to tlie acre. The wheat and
corn lands are equally rich as those in
Nebraska or Kansas.
