Thr To.! of (MtßtrcW Vortlllcm. Complaint having arisen In regard to the recently enacted law requiring manufacturers and dealers In fertili zers to furnish the Agricultural De partment with live hundred pounds of eueh brand In order that thorough soil tests may bo made, a reporter of the Atlanta Constitution called on Dr. Janos, the Agricultural Commis sioner, mid obtained from him infor mation of special importance to man ufacturers, dealers and consumers of fertilizers. In the tirst [dace the specific object of the law creating the department, is to confer upon the Commissioner the especial charge of the analysis of fertilizers. A sample is to be furnished him under rules prescribed to insure its being a fair one, and this sample subjected to a thorough test in order to determine its practical value. No conditions uro imposed in the law as to the nature of the test, or the manner in which it shall be made, except that it must be thorough. The law evidently contemplates a chemi cal test, but does not coniine it to that, test alone. The means of sub jecting a fertilizer to a thorough test lias been carefully considered by Dr. Janes, and those adopted by him, viz: a conjoint analysis, bot h chemical and experimental, lie believes to be well calculated to secure the desired end. The object of the Inspection law is to protect the public from imposition in the composition of fertilizers, whoso constituent elements cannot be known by simply observing their physical properties. Such protection la especially needed in the purchase of fertilizers, and the recognition of tiiis fact was a leading reason for cre ating the department. What onn bo determined by chemi cal analysis alone is well understood. It is, of itself, thorough as |u negative i tost that is, no fertilizer can be of any practical value which will not i stand a chemical test. To complete it, and make it as thorough ns possi- ! bio, an experimental test in the Held 1 has also been determined upon by | the Commissioner. When this double test lias been applied, and the results of both are in his hands, he call fultil his duty to planters and dealers by furnishing information, not only as to the chemical composition of a fer tilizer, but also its adaptat ion to par ticular erops and soils, and lie can show to manufacturers what changes, if any, are necessary. -.Sac. A Vies. German Miner as a Hay t’rtip. After consulting some of the old volumes of the America)i Fttrmrr, which has always been u wise coun sellor to me, I concluded to try millet on two and a half acres, and ordered two and a half bushels of seed. I dragged down the beds with a seven toothed harrow and got the Inn ! line and smooth with the fallow drag. On the 18th of July I seeded the land; harrowed it with a Gaddes harrow. The land was a heavy, stiff, day soil, not very well adapted to the growth of this grass, nor was the season very favorable, having a dry spell just be fore it headed out, in consequence of which the crop was not a full 0110 even for the land. Soon after i! had headed out, and before the seed had matured or the stalk got hard, I cut it and cured it in the usual way, and housed nine large wagon loads of nice sweet hay, estimated by good judges at 12,000 pounds. The laud was then fallowed and seeded in wheat with the rest of the tobacco lot. Had ttie millet been seeded earlier, say last of April or tirst of May, on suitable soil, with a favorable season, lam satisfied the yield would have been much heavier. This grass was valuable on account of its rapid growth and early mat uri ty. This crop was made in eight weeks and three days from seeding. Farmers may cut their wheat or oat crop, fallow the land, and get a large nice crop in eight weeks, and thereby avoiil buying so much Northern hay. Some persons may wish to know if this grass grows well on very poor land. I will answer by saying it will not, unaided by manure or fertilizers of some kind, not excepting broom sedge or poverty grass. P. B. Chowder. Amelia C'o., Va., FVO. 8, 1875. This grass lias been successfully grown wherever it lias been tried in Alabama. • ♦ • California Fa km i no. Mrs. 1 Young, of California, who edits a de- ; partinent in the .Science of Jicutth. in . New York, makes the following in teresting statements: "1,. A. Gould, of Santa Clara, dries the fruit from ninety acres of or- j chards. He lias opened anew six thousand acre farm in Fresno coun ty, bringing water twenty-one miles. The ditch was commenced and com pleted inside of sixty days. After! tlie first of May ho put in one hundred acres of cotton. We saw on the twen tieth day of last March on Mr. 1 Gould’s place, fifteen thousand al-, mond trees six inches high. They | were put into boxes to sprout in l)e comber, and planted in nursery rows in February. The great frost of April fifth, that damaged tile fruit crop clear down to Los Angeles, did not touch the plains of Fresno. Mr. G. also had five men busy putting in the cuttings for one hundred acres of raisins. Six hundred acres of grain to be cut for hay, looked very nicely. The place lias been commenced but one year. Last, year, at the lowest known prices, twenty acres of straw berries netted the owner $l5O jar acre. “A blackberry patch of one and one- j half acres, last year, gave sixteen tons ! of perfect fruit. The soil was a rich light alluvial. The plants were set 4xs. They were cultivated thor oughly and cleanly, and irrigated eo- j piously from the time of blossoming once a week. One man can pick one hundred to one hundred and fifteen pounds per day. Seven men were: employed the fruiting sea son and constantly at work. They j are more profitable than strawber ries.” i A Southern Grass. - Bermuda grass [was introduced into Greene county [about fifty years ago, by Mr. Ezekiel Park, who procured it near Peters burg, Va., whither it. wa- brought from the island of Bermuda. For several years it was considered a great eurse upon the planting interest of the county, but the developments of the last few years have exploded this notion, and it is now regarded as a real blessing in disguise. While it is till inveterate enemy to the growth o{ corn and cotton, us a grazing and hay-grass it bus no superior, if, in deed, unequal in the whole catalogue of grasf.es. A single acre in this county, well set in this grass yielded the enormous amount, of ten thou sand pounds of cured hay from a sin gle cutting.— Greensboro ( Ga.) Herald. The news from Peru to the 1 It h ult., is interesting, from the fact that an other groat discovery of guano has just been made in an out-of-the-way place. This time it has been found below a hard crust of sand some few leagues to the south of Iquique, the principal port whence nitrate is ship ped from Peru. This guano has been analyzed and found to be the best quality. —Ex-Governor Moses, of South Carolina, is said to be running a faro bank at Columbia, in that State. —The wheat in Cobb county is look ing remarkably fine and healthy, and there is a large area planted.
