Textile Plants.
At the annual State Fair, held at Jack
sonville, Florida, among the numerous ex
hibitions of the soil were some specimens
of fibres obtained from the many textile
plants that grove so abundantly in that
State. Some of them were dyed in vari
ous colors and were noticeable for their
length and strength and were prepared
from the wild jute, bear grass, saw pal
metto, sisal hemp and Spanish bayonet.
A correspondent from Jacksonville to the
Savannah News, in writing of the Fair,
says:
"Upon the card appended to the fibre of the
bear grass was an offer from four Kentucky bag
ging factories, proposing to take 43,000 pounds
of the material daily. Now this plant grows
wild all over the State, and its production can be
extended indefinitely under cultivation. One
would be surprised to see what a valuable fibre
can be obtained from that despised plant the saw
palmetto.. Nor is this its only good quality.
Tons and tons are now shipped North for paper
stock, while its roots are rich in tannin."
In sections of this State are found the
Bame textile plants from which could be
manufactured all the bagging used in
packing the cotton and otherwise. Many
now considered worthless could be
made into paper and other uses if we
possessed the thrift and enterprise to de
velop them. As it is, cotton excludes all
else.
Beware of Advances on Crops.
In ante-bellum days, when the princely
tobacco and cotton planters shipped hun
dreds of hogsheads of tobacco and bales
of cotton, they occupied an enviable posi
tion in the financial world, and their
friendship and patronage was eagerly
sought by the commission merchants.
How different to-day, when thousand must
beg for advances from the merchants with
which to make the crop !
At the close of the war all classes and
professions rushed into the cotton and
tobacco fields which were readily turned
into gold.
Capital flowed into the South and com
mission merchants dealt it out with willing
hands to the farmers. Short crops and
failures followed. Confidence was de
stroyed between commission merchant
and the planter, and the country "Cross
Roads Grocery," which had opened with
a keg of tobacco, demijohn of whisky,
cheese and crackers, developed into a com
mission house. Negroes flocked to the
stores, bought supplies to the full value
of their crops, and when their crops were
shipped by the storekeeper, and the ne
groes started into the new year poorer
than when they commenced the old.
The city merchants have gradually cast
off their smaller customers, both white
and black, and they have been gobbled
up by the country merchant. The ex
orbitant charges tor the necessaries of life
often leave the hapless farmer in debt,
and he continues in this hopeless bondage
from year to year, nntil the merchant
will no longer provide him bread and meat
while he is plowing "the first furrows,"
but will wait until the crop is well under
way before advancing a dollar. The en
tire system is all wrong, and our people
will never be independent until their
principal effort is directed toward raising
ample food crops for home use, and
making the staple crops only as a surplus
crop. It avails not to give excuses for
failure.
Many are late in commencing the year's
work, and in consequence of the hurry the
ground is not well broken, the clods are
not pulverized, the crop is pitched late
and there is a continuous strain to catch
up. The worms eat up the tobacco before
it has matured, and the annual dry season
burns up the corn and other crops which
should have been ripe before the dry sea
son came on.
The drouth of last season was general
in the United States, but we confidently
affirm that no man who plowed deep,
manured well, and planted corn before
the 1st of March, and cultivated it well,
failed to make enough to supply his place.
A full corn crib should be the first con
sideration of the farmer. From it will
emanate every comfort of rural life. The
pumpbin, cushaw and cow-pea all grow
along with the corn, without additional
work. The condition of the work animals
cow, hogs, sheep and poultry will tell
at once the status of the corn crib. The
growing crop will speak, for without well
fed work animal, good plowing cannot be
done.
We do not advocate the planting of the
greater part of yonr farm in corn, but we
do say put in enough corn to make your
year's supply ample. Plant early, fer
tilize well and cultivate promptly. En
large your garden and haul out all your
stable manure to it. Plant quantities of
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, cabbages,
beets, sweet peas, squashes, tomatoes and
all other vegetables. Have large patches
of turnips and melons. Start orchards of
all kinds of lruit trees that do well in
your section.
Depend no longer upon the uncertain
results to fatten your hogs, but give thrm
close attention and raise enough corn to
feed them. As soon as you can, secure a
fine boar and a fine buck. Shear your
sheep at the proper time. . Look closer to
the small things of the farm. Commence
to-day and try farming for a living. You
can raise absolutely all of the necessaries
of life at home. Even if the merchant
takes every pound of cotton to pay what
is already due him, it will not be a serious
matter.
Sagk. A correspondent of Coleman's
Rural World writes: "Last Spring I
sowed an ounce of sage seed, costing
twenty cents, from which I now have
about a thousand good strong plants.
These, if planted next Spring, in good
rich soil, with good cultivation, will give
three good pickings each year for several
years. I have so far always found a good
home marked for this with the butchers
and grocers at from twenty-five to forty
cents per pound, and if picked properly it
is much superior to that usually put npon
the market by large growers, as it is free
from coarse stems. The picking should
be carefully done by hand, pulling off
only the leaves, leaving the stems lor pro
ducing more leaves. I planted in rows
about three feet apart and two feet in the
row, use the plow and hoe freely, with
good mulch late in the fall to prevent
freezing out in winter, and I know of no
crop more easily managed, or more profit
able in a small way.
$fT" Never set a hen in a box above
the ground or floor of the chicken house if
possible to do otherwise, as the eggs dry
too fast and lose their vitality. Much
better success may be expected if the
nests are made on the ground.
When to Plant Corn.
Formerly every farmer wan anxious to
get his corn planted the last week in
April, or at least the first week in May.
One of the principle reasons for this was
that it was lesa liable to be injured by the
grub and wire-worm on account of its
early growth. Another was that in case
of the seed rotting or the plant being
damaged from any cause, there would be
plenty of time to replant. A trial of this
method hag not resulted successfully, as it
is found that early-planted corn is fre
quently delayed in sprouting by unfavora
ble weather; and when it does make its
appearance it is yellow and stunted, and
sometimes does not recover. ' Whereas,
by planting from the tenth to the twen
tieth of May the ground is sure to be
warm and adapted to early germination,
the seeds start to sprout at once and come
up strong and healthy.' To combat ene
mies, six grains should be placed in each
hill, properly separated, ana then, should
the plauts escape injury from the grab
and wire worm by the use of salt placed
around the hill after the corn is up, re
move the plants above three. Again,
tarmers are beginning to put their hills
closer in the row, and with the increased
number ot grains to each hill, they seldom
are disappointed of a good crop, if well
attended to.
We have known a good crop of Dutton
corn to be realized when planted far in
June. One, indeed, was planted ou the
29th of the month, and produced a satis
factory crop, contrary to the anticipations
of many people who witneesed the plant
ing and watched the growing of the crop.
We do not remember the number of bush
els it produced to the acre, but we should
have estimated it between fifty and sixty.
At any rate, too early planting is risking
more than the farmer should be willing
to risk in the face of so many disappointments.
Stock Law and its Influences on Stock
Breeding
The practice of turning hungry cattle
upon the public highways to steal or
starve must give way before the wheel of
progress and the advent of a more just
appreciation of the rights of property.
Grass, whether wild or cultivated, is as
much the property of the owner of the
land on which it grows as is corn, wheat,
cotton, or any other produce, but hitherto
our laws have required the land-owner to
guard bis grass by a most expensive
fence, or have it dispastured by his neigh
bor's stock.
Under the operation of the stock law,
which has been adopted in a number ot
counties in North Carolina, South Caro
lina and Georgia, each stock-owner must
confine his stock on his own land or hire
pasturage for them' from others. The
natural consequence of such requirement
will be a reduction in the number of stock
kept and an improvement in their quality.
More attention will be paid to provid
ing suitable pastures for the stock of the
farm, which will naturally improve the
quality of the stock. It will compel the
bestowal of more care upon the stock of
all kinds, and those who can avail them
selves of the services of thoroughbred
bulls will now have an opportunity of
grading their stock, and will no longer be
annoyed by the highway scrub.
Ashes as a Fertilizer. Unleached
wood ashes contain all the constituents of
plant food that the ordinary or worn out
soil needs, except nitrogen. By their
chemical action, they render much of the
inert nitrogen in soils available, and in
that way may be said to furnish nitrogen.
This is true of lime, and on this power of
making nitrogen available, the greatest
value of lime, when applied as a fertilizer,
depends. Ashes also have a good me
chanical effect upon the soil, especially
heavy clay soils, which are made lighter
and more porous, so that air and water
circulate more freely. Ashes do not suffer
waste by being washed out, to the extent
that is true of the more soluble and con
centrated fertilizers sold in the markets
their effects are therefore more lasting.
Another Valuable. Invention for
Farmers. Mr. R. P. Davis has applied
for a patent for a machine for cleaning
dirty seed cotton. The machine has been
used all the past season, on Lis farm and
those of his . neighbors, and is said to do
the work splendidly. The cotton put
through it before it is ginned is cleaned
of all dirt and trash, and its value in
creased from 1 to 3 cents. It is cheap
costs only 25, and is simple and durable.
The best machines exhibited at Atlanta,
of the kind, cost from $200 to $500.

Fruit Gardens. If possible have your
fruit gardens separate from your vegeta
ble garden. It is a poor plan to put black
berries, raspberries, &c, along fence rows,
where the fruit is sure to be poor in quan
tity and quality. There are too many large
farms lacking in fruit. So little soil is re
quired in the culture of vines and small
fruits and they conduce so largely to
health, and , consquently to happiness-
that no farmer should fail to cultivate
them.
: Stables. Keep all stables, pens and
sheds in perfect, cleanliness. They should
be well ventilated and not too warm,
which is nnhealthfuL Filth is too often a
cause of disease. We seldom hear of
trouble from sickness where the stock are
well fed and have
and dry beds.
