AGRICULTURAL.
s , Folly Under Way. :
The Southern farms . may now be said
to be fully under; way. The crops have
all been planted except a lew low grounds
and baok ward spots. The campaign is
folly opened and the battle joined. Ev
ery farmer should understand that the
more perfectly he discharges his duty in
the cultivation of his crop the more in
dependent he becomes of the weather.
No amount of skill or industry can entire
ly compensate for the want of rain and
sunshine in season ; and on the other hand
the best of seasons will not bring fall re
turns to the indolent, careless or unskillful
husbandman.
The art of merely cultivating the grow
ing crop is comparatively simple and fair
ly well understood, and the farmer will
generally have no difficulty in finding out
where to work to the best advantage.
Much depends on good implements, kept
in perfect order, well fitting harness, close
supervision of the daily work and atten
tion to the wants of the mules and horses.
Until the first of . July the successful
farmer will not have many leisure mo
ments. When his body is not active his
mind will work, and one hour of brain
work will often save many hours of man
ual labor.
Cultivating Cotton. It is rather late
to say much about chopping cotton, that
beginuing of the arduous work of cultiva
tion. For years it had been our own rule
to start the hoes as soon as the leaves on
the plants were fully grown and push the
work as rapidly as possible,not stopping to
iron around each hill, but "blocking out,"
going at nearly a halt walk and making
every stroke of the hue count its full
width. It consumes too much time un
profiiably to siopand clean away every
sprig of tine grass near the stalks uf cot
ton, when the plows can do it much more
expeditiously if made to follow the hoes
within three or lour day. A general rule
to be modified by circumnauces would
be to plow where is lh most grass, and
hoe wheie the most grou.id can be gone
over in a day. The quantity and size of
the grass and weeds does not materially
impede the progress of the plows, while it
seriously hindrra hoe-work. We have
seen good farmers "turn back" the hoes
when halt over the first time and begin at
the beginning. And this may often be
sound policy under unfavorable circum
stances of weather when grass has be
come so rampant thai hoeing can only
progress a, the rate of half acre per day
Eer hand. We trust none of our farmers,
owever, will get into such a co lition a
to coU86 thein to hesitate whether to go
forward or turn back.
; The first hoeing of cotton should be in
tended mainly to thin nut the stand some
what so that the stalks that are leit may
make a vigorous growth. The plows
should follow the hoes in a few days, ubing
winged sweepa or beelscrapes the work
being intrusted only to the most skillful
and reliable hands. As Boon as l e cup
has been "chopped out" the hoes should
at once commence the work of putting to
a final stand aiid taking out all grass that
escaped the previous workings. This is
really the tedious work and requires con
stant oversight to prenerve the stand.
Following the hoes with the plows as be
fore in three or four days, and if the work
be well done, the battle is well nigh over
and the victory won.
Of course the outline above given must
be filled in with details, and is subject to
change under varying circumstances.
Very much depends upon the degree of
skill displayed in the use of the plow and
hoe; and this skill in the use ot these im
plements depends very much on their
quality and condition. We know from
actual experience in the field not alone
from observation for, while we would
not boast, we have seen few that could
"lead us" for a week in the use of the hoe.
Fruit Evaporation
Among the many recent improvements
in the line Of preserving food, there is
none which promises to add more to the
revenue of the farmer and gardener than
the evaporation of fruit.
Of the benefits of this new process, J.
G. Bennett Buy sin an interesting paper,
in the Rural New Yorker:
In a properly evaporated fruit there is
no loss oi pleasaut or valuable properties,
but an actual increase of fruit sugar, from
the fact that evaporation is enentially a
ripening proce-s, the devtlopmeni of
sugai ranging from 10 to 25 per cent, in
different fruit, as determined by chemi
cal analyris. Instead of a retrograde
transition awaiting our really unsurpassed
fruits, berries and vegetable at their full
stage of ripening, we have in the use of
the evaporator a culmination of the same
organic force-, and in a few hours the
juice", which ber tofore formed and per
fected the fruit (but which after this
hasten decay,) are quickly matured, and
the maximum development of sugar se
cured and the water evaporated, the
change being analogous to the transition
of the grape to the sweeter raisiu or the
acid reen apple to rip-ues, with cor
responds delicacy. The cell structure
remains unbroken and the articles when
placed io the juvenating bath of fresh
water return to their original form, color
and consistency. Thus, a few ounces of
pumpkin flour make sauce or ustard at
all seasons, and rarely can any one dis
tinguish a pie or a pudding of evaporated
apple from that made from fresh fruit by
sight or taste. The summer squash be
comes an all-the-year vegetable tor every
climate and market ou the globe. A large
load of pumpkins may be driven in froru
the field in the morning, and the next
morning shipped to the antipodes, in a
barrel. The sweet potato which perishes
so rapidly as to be unknown to most of the
markets of the world, is reduced to an im
perishable condition by pneumatic eva
poration, and will soon become a familiar
luxury on the tables and markets of the
world and at all seasons of the year alike.
Its slices, placed in cold water and
brought to a bil for thirty minutes, are
ready for the table or frying pan, and are
in no respect inferior to the original vege
table. The northern potato, like the tur
nip, improves by evaporation, and for
spring use, for ship stores and for exporta
tion, leaves its original out of sight, oc
cupies little room, and is proof against
decay.
Sweet corn is rejuvenated. If taken
strictly in the milk and treated before
wilting, it will be as tender and sweet at
the world's end as the start. Green cur
rants and gooseberries retain their favor
ite characteristics of flavor sealed up in
them for travel and time. Forty pine
apples have been compressed into a small
cake which an infant might .hold in its
hand, and afterward resurrected as 40
pine apples. The evaporated tomato is a
remarkable product. - No successful at
tempt has ever before been made to re
move the condition of fermentation ( water i
from this fruit. The pneumatio evapora
tor reduces the whole pulp of the tomato
- .... m m
to a condition like that ot the dried fig.
A bushel of the fruit after evaporation is
compressed into a solid cube like plug to
bacco, measuring four or five inches each
way. Every pound of it ' makes eight
quarts of tomatoes in the original state;
Tomatoes may . now be raised with ad
vantage, like so many other things, when
ever there is an evaporator at hand. The
manufacture of evaporated fruit by the
individual farmer and orchardist has pop
ularized the industry the future of which
it would be difficult even to anticipate.
With an apparatus of universal adapta
tion and suited to the wants of the large
or small orchardist and fairly managed,
the business is made both remunerative
and pleasant. Few farm implements can
be so continuously - employed, beginning
with the early summer berries, vegetables
and fruits, extending its usefulness through
the winter upon the fall crops, the daily
wasting products of the farm suggesting
its use and inculcating the maxim, "It is
not what we make but what we save, that
accumulates wealth."
How to Avoid Effects of Drouth.
From the N. C. Agricultural Bulletin.
The subject of drouth is one of the
deepest interest to our agriculturists. It
is the most formidable natural enemy to
production in our : climate indeed the
only one. It should have been com
batted by all the expedients- which en
lightened reason could have brought to
bear. But the opposite course has been
pursued here in the reckless destruction of
oar forest. No reference is now made to
that period of our history when circum
stances allowed our farmers no choice.
That period only is referred to the last
forty or fifty years during which the
conditions were such as to admit of the
fullrst scope for sound jadgment in this
matter. But the old course has been
continued without abatement, and the
evil is increasing in form with every
year. And it must, of necessity, go ou
in an increasing ratio as the remains of
our forests are eucroacbed upon. But
this subject will not be dwelt upon now ;
it is mentioned first, because it is strictly
germane to the matter in hand ; secondly,
because the Department will avail itself
of every occasion to impress , the import
ance ot its consideration upon our people.
Another, evil, equally operative, and
equally injurious, is now sought to be im
pressed that is the evil of shallow plow
ing. Deep tillage is recommended on all
grounds, many of which were stated in a
former number of the Bulletin. Thepoint
to which it is desired to direct attention
now is deep plowing as a means of storing
up moisture as a reserve for the needs of
the plants. The necessity of moisture for
plants is what everyone knows, but the
manner in which it acts is not so generally
understood. v ater is so indispensable to
vegetable existence that nature has no
where exhibited her resources more ad
mirably than in the provisions for col
lecting it. For this purpose plants have
withia their roots been furnished with a
system of feeders which can forage under
favorable conditions through all the ad
jacent soil. Every principle of nourish
ment, as has been said is conveyed into
the plant in a state of solution. It enters
by these roots, is carried along the stem,
then along the branches to the leaves.
In its course the elements of nourishment
are appropriated by the plant, while the
water which held them in solution passes
off by evaporation from the leaf. Be
tween the supply and the loss of moisture
there must be an equilibrium to maintain
the plant in perfect health. If the loss of
moisture by evaporation exceeds in quan
tity the supply which enters by the roots
the plant languishes and the leaves fade
and assume a yellow hue. If the dry
weather continues the leaves die.
Now, when rain falls upon a surface
hardened and baked by a summer's sun,
it flows off rapidly, and but little Binks
into the laud. Ihe most inattentive ob
server must have noticed how much wetter
plowed laud is after a rain than land
which has not been ploughed. The atten
tive observer will have marked the fact
that the quantity of water which sinks into
the land is just iu proportion to the depth
ot the ploughing. Farther, he must have
remarked that the power of retaining mois
ture was in proportion to the thoroughness
of the tillage. Without the advantage
afforded by observation upon this point,
it would be a clear deduction of common
sense, that land ploughed six inches deep
would abrorb twice as much water as that
which was ploughed three inches deep ;
and that land plowed nine inches deep
would absord three times as much. Now,
the fact here mentioned is full of sugges
tion to the reflecting farmer. The culti
vator has but to avail himself of the absor
bent power of the soil to render himself
comparatively independent of the seasons.
Ihe remark applies, whatever may be the
crop which he cultivates. It is, however,
peculiarly and emphatically applicable to
the cotton planter. Cotton is a tropical
plant and delights in a high temperature.
It takes the extreniest drought to cut it off
entirely even with very shallow, cultiva
tion. Now, every season affords enough
moisture, if it were judiciously husbanded
to secure a good crop in almost any sea
son. The means of doing so are in the
power of every one. The cultivator can,
by dec and through preparation of his
land, put it in a condition to receive and
hold a large proportion of the moisture
furnished by the rains that fall. He would
thus prepare a reservoir below the surface
as large as the extent of the land he tills,
and which would hardly ever fail to yield
a full supply to his crop.
A dead shot for the potato bug
has been fou .d by Mr. E. 1. Holmes of
this place. He has used the tobacco dust
from his factory on bis potatoes and the
bugs bit the dust in more than one sense.
He puts it on in the morning when the
dew is on the plants and in every instance
he has, to use his own words, "cleaned
them out." This is a grand discovery as
it is so much safer than Paris green, and
is equally as destructive. Mr. Holmes
has tried it on his own crop and is anxious
that the public should have the benefit of
his discovery. It may prove to be the
greatest discovery of the age and be the
means of saving thousands of dollars to
the farmers of the country. Asheville

What Kills Fruit Trees.
Deep planting is one error to plant a
tree rather shallower that it formerly stood
is really the right way, whilst many plant
a tree as they would a post. Roots are
of two kinds the young and tender rootlets,-
composed entirely of cells, ; the
feeders of the trees, always found near the
surface getting air and moisture; and
roots of over one year old, which serve
only as supporters of the trees and as con
ductors of its food. Hence the injury that
ensues when the delicate rootlets are so
deeply buried in the earth. Placing fresh
or green manure in contact with the young
roots is another great error. The place
to put manure is on the surface, where the
elements disintegrate, dissolve and carry
it down. Numerous forms of fungi are
generated and reproduced by the applica
tion of such manures directly to the roots,
and they immediately attack . the - tree.
It is very well to enrich the soil at
transplanting the tree, but the manure,
if to be in contact with or very near
the roots, should be thoroughly decom
posed. ...
