AGRICULTURAL.
The Phosphate Beds in Eastern Carolina.
The March Bulletin oi the N. C. Board
of Agriculture contains a very interesting
article by Uol. Win. G. Lewis in regard
to exploring phosphate beds :
"The counties ot Lenoir, Jones and
Onslow, were first visited. There were
collected specimens oi marl, lime rock,
and eome supposed specimens ot phos
phate on the upper waters of the Neuse
and Trent in .Lenoir, itien an examina
tion was made of the immense beds of
shell marl and rock along the Trent river
in Jones. The analyses of these speci
mens will be completed in due course of
work and will show the great value of the
marls of this region if nothing more. The
exploring party made a complete circuit
of White Oak Swamp in Jones and
Onslow, securing many interesting speci
mens of lime stone, marl, and some of
phosphate. Lean phosphate-rock was
found one and two miles northeast of
Rich la Dd in Onslow and excellent speci
mens, as good as any heretofore found in
North Carolina, on Cohorn Creek. The
following is an analysis of the specimen
from the last mentioned locality:
Phosphate of Lime 50.60 per cent. Car
bonate of Lime 9.77 per cent. Sand 25.36
per cent.
There was too much water over the
country at the lime to permit an examina
tion as to the amount there was of this
rock there. Enough specimens were ob
tained from an extended area to indicate
that the region is well worth a careful
study.
Duplin county was visited by Gen.
Lewis next. Phosphates were found
throughout the whole of the country be
tween Goshen swamp and Maxwell
swamp.
It is certain that Duplin contains large
quantities of phosphate-rock within ac
cessible depths. PoBphate was found
wherever the surface soil was cut through
to a sufficient depth.
Fair specimens were collected from
twenty-three different localities in that
part of Duplin.
Selecting a place at random, a lot of
rock was dug to see what the yield per
acre would be. Gen. Lewis, who had
charge of the work, reports :
"Enclosed please find statement of cost
excavating fifty tons of phosphate rock on
the farm of J. W. Best, near Warsaw.
Also cost of hauling, loading, fcc. This
is not a fair basis to calculate on for the
future. The weather was extremely bad,
the laborers green and the hauling picked
up promiscuously. I had an overseer for
ten hands. One overseer would be suffi
cient for twenty-five or thirty hands.
With a well organized force I think I
could reduce the cost of getting out and
hauling the rock one-third. .You will
also notice that the ditching was expen
sive. The extreme wet weather and high
water necessitated bringing up the fall of
a canal and ditch to rid us of the water
accumulating in the pits.
Fifty tons: Cubic yards excavated,
C81, fraction of an acre 0.11. Cost of ex
cavation, 1110.05 ; cost of hauling, $33.75 ;
cost of loading on cars, $2.75 ; cost of
ditching, 118.75; total, $165.30.
It cost us thus, in spite of the novelty
of the work, the crudeness of all the ar
rangements for it and the extravagant
prices paid for everything, a little over $3
per ton to put the phosphate on the cars,
hauling it three-quarters of a mile. This
rock would, with experienced labor, have
been gotten out much cleaner, and have
been thus reduced in bulk. We secured,
however, fully forty-six tons of clean,
workable phosphate from that tenth of an
acre, which is at the rate of four hundred
and eighteen tons per acre.
Some of this rock has been converted
into superphosphate, with very satifaclory
results. By this report wo are strength
ened in our anticipations that this discov
ery is a most important one in the history
of North Carolina agriculture.
Jersey Cattle.
The State department has received from
United States Consular Agent Renouf the
following interesting information concern
ing Jersey cattle and their exportation to
the United States :
"There is a marked increase in the ex
portation of cattle for breeding purposes
to the States, the total number expected
during the year just ended is 874, of the
value of 40,380, averaging uearly $47
10s. per head. In the number is included
a prize cow of the invoice value of 1,000,
thus raising the average to a high figure.
The breeders of this island are now fully
aware of the necessity for a pure breed,
with good milking qualities of their cattle
for the United States, and they are most
anxious that every precaution should be
taken to insure the genuineness of the
breed of their cattle when landed at the
United States, and this shows the neces
sity of each animal being branded on the
horn, and accompanied by a certificate
duly attested, such certificate describing
the animal and the number branded on
the horn, together with the certificate of
the veterinary surgeons of the soundness
of the animal , and its being free from foot
and mouth disease, the collector of cus
toms at the port of destination in the Uni
ted Statea to be duly advised of each ship
ment from this consulate, giving the num
ber of heads of cattle and also the number
branded on the horns; corresponding with
the attested certificates. With these pre
cautionary measures the importers in the
United States would be quite sure that
no fraud is practiced, as there is in
England a breed called Jersey, which can
not be pure, as it is well known that Jer
sey cattle imported into England degen
erated in two or three years, and do not
retain their milking properties. It would
be important to purchasers of valuable
cattle for the United States to have them
imported direct the Channel Islands, there
by insuring their arriving in that sound
state in which they leave the island."
Watermelon Culture.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker described the following method
by which an extraordinary crop of water
melons was raised : Holes were dug ten
feet apart each way eighteen inches square
and fifteen inches deep. These holes were
filled with well rotten manure, which was
thoroughly incorporated with the soil. A
low, flat hill was then made and seed
planted. When the vines were large
enough to begin to run the whole surface
was covered to the depth of a foot or fif
teen inches with wheat straw. The straw
was placed close up around the vines. No
cultivation whatever was given afterward;
no weeds or grass grew. The vines
spread over the straw, and the melons
matured clean and nice. The yield was
abuudant, and the experiment was an en
tire success, . This is surely worth trying
this year.
Spring Work.
An early start may save a crop. The
past season affords many an example. A
crop of sweet corn, grown by the writer,
was partly planted in iuay sua enj iu
June, and part was delayed until late in
June. The early planted was harvested
in good on ;r and fully ripened and was
fit for sal . seed corn at a nign price.
The latee i.niDg was caught by the
early free . which caught so many other
late corn croDs. and was spoiled. It is so
with other crops. Early planted potatoes
escape the first attacks of the potato
beetles ; early cabbage gets aneaa oi. ine
green worm ; oats early sown are not in
jured by the dry hot weather ot July, ana
fill out the grain which is heavy and
plump. Early spring wheat escapes rust,
and so on through all the lists of crops.
For one crop that suffers injury from early
planting, a thousand suffer from delay.
To "take time by the forelock" should be
the farmer's rule. -Iu growing market
crops this is especially iinportaot. A
week's start is at times equivalent to $500
an acre. Last season a neighbor of the
writer had melons in market a week before
any other farmer. He had marketed 300
barrels at $5 a barrel before any other
supply reached the market. When the
second crop arrived the price dropped to
$3 a barrel at once, and in two weeks the
market was glutted at $1.25 a barrel.
There can rarely be more than one first in
the market, and to be the first is the grand
effort of market men. It is somewhat dif
ferent with the common field crops, but
earliness with these means a good yield
and excellent quality, and the advantage
is proportionate.
But with an early start work is got out
of the way of other following crops, and
the advantage goes all through the sea
son. The regular succession of work is
not broken, and every thing goes on in
order. This tells equally upon every crop,
and all are benefited. The harvesting is
also advanced, and there is no rush.
Corn is out of the way before the hay is
ready; then hay is all well saved and cut
in its prime when the aftermath recovers
quickly before the great heat of July
scorches the ground, and the grain cutting
is taken up in good season before it is
overripe, and loses by shelling in the field.
Thus to begin early secures comfort, ease
and profit ; while the belated farmer is
worried, wearied and loses the fruits of his
self-inflicted excessive labor. This is a
good time to think of these things.
E3!r The whole basis of improving
stock is the keeping up of the animal
forces to the highest point, after a pure
breed is secured. I his, of course, must
depend upon a full observance of the
natural laws, regular and full feeding,
shelter, water, and all that. The exhaus
tion of paternity is universal in animal
and vegetable life. When the rose seed-
pods are cut away, the hjooiu iucreases in
size and beauty ot cqU and so many in
sects reproduce their species after long
years of preparation, and then die. The
English method of marking the ewes, and
speedy separation, is not very generally
practiced because of -the cost of labor.
The time for practicing is well-nigh at
hand, owing to the high prices which be
gin to rule for first-rate bucks. It is well
known that animals over-fat will not
breed: but it is well to use as the time of
coupling approaches, somewhat better fare
than could usually be allowed, to stir the
blood and compel steady and even propa
gation.

A Chill Preventive. '
When Col. Byrd surveyed the dividing
line between Virginia and North ' Caro
lina in 1728 he recommended bis men to
chew a little rhubarb or aloes every : day
as they passed through the Dismal Swamp.
Though they were in water altogether
fifteen days, yet none were sick and none
died. In the time ot chills every person
in the chilly regions ought to chew some
every day till frost. An ounce of pre
ventive is better than a pound of cure.
8Sf To destroy the odor of paint, slice
a few onions and put them in a pail of
water in the center of the room, to remain
thire for several hours; or plunge a hand
ful of hay into a pailful of water and let it
stand in the room overnight.
