AGRICULTURAL.
The more Grass the more Profits.
How shall the original fertility of the soil
be restored ? is the great problem which it
is our duty to solve by introducing a proper
system of rotation of crops, and by growing
more grass and less gram. Our salvation
consist in the practical recognition of the
old Belgian proverb : "No grass, no cattle,
no manure, no crops." A district of coun
try, which is exclusively or mainly a natural
grass growing section, has within itself all
the elements of successful agriculture, pro
vided its operations are conducted with
system and economy. A country having a
soil naturally adapted to grass is in a great
measure able to live within itself, and not
be dependent upon an exchange of commo
dities with other districts. Upon 6uch a
soil as this, the farmer has at hand the
means to secure whatever he desires, or, to
apply the proverb already quoted, he has
corn, cattle and manure. In fact, grass and
stock husbandry is almost the only branch
of farming which seems to rentier man more
independent.
The preservation of the fertility of our
soils, and the profitable and increased pro
duction of the cereals, can best be secured
by growing grass extensively. The ques
tion has been asked, why it is that France,
which has three acres to one under cultiva
tion when compared with England, porduces
in the aggregate no more than the latter?
It is accounted for this way : Every acre
of Englirh grain land receives the manure
from three acres of grass, while in France
the manure from each acre of grass must be
diffused over two and a half acres of grain.
Such a system as busy season is over and
all can find time to prepare an acre or two
of land for corn fodder. We may even sow
it in land from which we have just taken a
wheat or oat crop. Let it be well plowed
and thoroughly manured, and corn planted
at the rate of two or three bushels per acre.
One plowing will be enough for it, and at a
reasonable calculation we may expect five
tons of good fodder hay, which at the price
which has been paid the past season lor
Northern hay, would be worth at least one
hundred and fifty dollars. burely all can
find time to devote at least a few acres to
so remunerating a crop.
Farm Life vs. Public Life.
The Hon. A. G. Brown of Mississippi,
gives the following excellent advice to
young men :
"Be a farmer ! There is a fascination in
office which beguiles men ; but be assured,
my young friends, it is the fascination of a
serpent, or to change the figure, it is the
iff ni8 fatuus which coaxes you on to inevi
table ruin. I speak of that which I do know,
and if my young mends will be governed
by the advice, I have this to say, after all
my success as a public man, now when my
head is blooming for the grave, of all pur
suits in life, that of a farmer is the most re
spectable. It may have its trials and dis
appointments; so do all others. The me
chanic may lose the wages of his labor, the
professional man all his fees, the editor may
lose the wages of his toil, but the honest,
industrious farmer is certain of a return for
his work. True, "Paul may plant, and
Apollos water, but God must give the in
crease." But where is the faithlul cultiva
tor of the soil, God's heritage to man, who
ever yet suffered for bread ?"
The Cheapest Manure Known.
Dr. Daniel Lee, in the Nashville Union
and American, says that land plaster
(Gypsum) is the cheapest manure known to
him, and he has been a careful observer of
its effects for sixty years. He adds that it
has been in use in this country one hundred
years, since Franklin wrote his name in
sowed plaster, brought from Paris to Phila
delphia, which had such a fertilizing effect
that all could read his name in clover and
lucerne. He refers to a locality in the State
of New York, where it has been used for
fifty years, and though containing no am
monia or nitrogen in any form ; no potash,
no magnesia, both of which exist in all
crops ; no phosphoric acid, yet many upland
fields were more productive in 1874 than in
1824 after the removal of fifty harvests, re
ceiving in return less than seventy-eight
pounds per acre of a true sulphate of lime a
year, and never any other fertilizer. Can
the learned Doctor give the rationale of its
action ? Rural Carolinian.
Lucerne.
We have received from S. N. Dewey,
Newbern, samples of Lucerne cut from his
garden which measures 30 inches in height,
and is the growth of twenty-four days. He
has cut his bed of lucerne four times this
season, viz: April 1, May 1, May 24 and
June 17. .He expects to cut it at least
every four weeks until November, giving
8 or 9 crops. This was grown under the
most favorable circumstances, on very rich
ground, and near the drain leading from his
pump, which gave it a small quantity of
water each day, and is not given as a usual
crop, but is intended to show what can be
done with lucerne by the use of manure and
high cultivation. One acre will, under or
dinary circumstances, support five cows,
mules or horses, all summer and has been
known to support twice the number. It is
well suited to our 60il and climate.
Female Life in Havana.
Great scarcity of women at Havana.
There are at least three times more males
than females. Hardly any other women
than negroes are to be seen about. Ladies
with any pretension to youth and beauty
would sooner die than venture out unpro
tected, even for their early mass, and so un
common is the sight of decent women un
attended in the streets that foreign ladies,
unacquainted with the custom, and saunter
ing from shop to shop, become the objects
of a curiosity "not unfrequently degenera
ting into impertinence. The cause of this
is that, besides the priests and soldiers and
sailors, the crowds of Spanish immigrants
are attracted there by high wages and do
not of course take their families. Among
the upper classes an exclusive male society
is cultivated. The charms of cafe and club
life, such as they are, wean the Havana
husbands from a home where real feminine
accomplishments are as unknown as hearth
rugs and fire irons.
TKc
Breeding Chickens.
The Poultry World says that it is the
worst possible policy to kill all the best and
finest fowls, and save only the mean and
scraggy ones to breed from. This is pre
cisely the way to run out your stock ; for
like tends to breed like, and the reason is,
that by continually taking away the best
birds, and using the eggs of the poorest,
your flock will grow poorer and poorer every
succeeding year. It would seem as though
this was too plain to be insisted upon, but in
fact, "line upon line is needed. It is the
crying want of the poultry upon the farms
the country through this careful and intel
ligent selection of the best for breeding.
Nothing is lost by a little self-denial to start
with. I he extra pound or two of poultry
flesh that you leave on its legs, instead of
sending it to market, is as good seed, and
will bring forth tenfold and twentyfold in
your future broods. Save your best and
finest stock for breeding.
Rowdyism in Colleges.
The reprehensible practice of hazing in
the colleges (or initiating new students) it
would seem has reached its climax at Yale.
Some members of the scientific college cut
off a young Chinese Freshman's quien. The
young heathen is of high rank. He has,
therefore, lost caste, and has been deprived
of his allowance by the Chinese educational
commission in this country. The Chinese
minister at Washington has investigated
the matter fully and sent home a report
to his government. The latter may ask
satisfaction for the insult, and this country
be embroiled in a war with China, provided
sufficient apology be not rendered to satisfy
Celestial honor and superstition. A war
about a pig-tail may read like fun, but it
won t "pan out funny at all, and the ab
surd hazers should be made to apologize in
such way, manner and form as shall cause
a greasy smile to cover once more the face
of our brother of the Moon, the glorious
child of the Sun.
He had a very pormising boil be
tween the shoulder blades, and his wife who
was young and beautiful, and could play
on the harp, but hadn't nursed much in the
hospitals, put a mustard plaster on it. A
lawyer subsequently explained to him that
they didn't grant divorces for such causes
in this State.
