SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Cotton Picking.
We used to estimate the final total
jrlold of our Individual cotton crop by
Imply multiplying by two the total
picked out by the first day of October,
experience having shown that under
ordinary circumstances ono-half our
crop was usually harvested by that
date. With the constant improvement
in the varieties of cotton In respect of
earliness of maturity, aided by the
almost xniversal use of concentrated
and stimulating fertilizers, the rule
will not now hold good. The dates of
the appearance of the "first bale," the
active opening of the cotton season,
and the gathering of the bulk" of the
crop, have all been moved back per
haps two weeks as compared with
twenty years ago. The present crop
is later than usual, and yet we judge
that more than half of it has
been gathered and half of the remain
der is open in the fields. These re
marks apply particularly to the lati
tude of thirty-two and a half degrees,
are made to illustrate the changes that
have been wrought by improvement
in seed and the use of commercial fer
tilizers. It is remarkable, however,
that no practical device or machine
has yet been perfected to aid in the
edous work of cotton-picking, and we
"stand just where we did forty years
ago. And yet there is no detail of the
work of cotton production which so
urgently calls for the aid of inventive-
talent as that of picking.
It has often been remarked that cot
ton is one of the least exhaustive crops
known to agriculture, providod the
sood, or the seed meal, be faithfully
returned to the soil. In a direct sense
this is true. The lint of cotton, which
is the prime object of its cultivation,
contains, in 100 pounds, only 1J pounds
of inorganic or soil elements, or ashos.
To state it in tabular form, 100 pounds
cotton lint contain of I
Phosphorlo acid 0.18 pounds
Potoah 0.37 pounds
L.tme 0.48 pounds
Magresla 0.17 pounds
Ottwr mineral matters 0.D5 pounds
Total ashes 1.75 pounds
In other words, one hundred pounds
of lint cotton removes from the soil
only 1.75 pounds of elements, and of
this amount only 0.55 pounds are phos
phoric acid and potash, the remainder
consisting of lime, magnesia and other
elements of little or no value on ac
count of their usual abundance in the
soil. It would appear, then, at first
glance, that cotton might be grown in
definitely on the same land without se
- rious detriment to the soil, so small is
the draft mado upon tho latter, or that
the productive capacity of the soil
might be maintained and even increased
by the use of a very small amount of
fertilizer annually. In fact, less than
one-fifth of one pound of phos
phoric acid and a little more than
one-third of a pound of potash are
removed from the soil in one hundred
pounds of cotton lint. But the con
tray is the observed fact We know
that cotton culture very rapidly re
duces tho capacity of our soils, espe
cially the broken lands, not only for
cotton, but for any and all crops.
Why is thisP The cause is two-fold:
1. Cotton is a summer crop and re
quires clean culture throughout the
hot months. The growth of other
vegetation is prevented, and this
natural means of amelioration and re
storation is' almost entirely cut off,
being limited to the scant returns in
vegetable raattor of the cotton plant
Itself. The effect of the chemical
rays of the sunlight on liv
ing plants is to aid them to
assimilate the carbonic acid of the
air and thus build up tho vegetable
structure; but the sume sunlight has a
directly opposite effect on the dead
tissues and upon the organic matter
already in the soil. These are oxi
dized, or converted into carbonic aoid,
which escapes in tho air, and the soil
is thus constantly losing its vegetable
matter or humus by this slow combus
tion or oxidation. The more the soil
is stirred, during the summer especial
ly, the more rapidly this loss goes on.
2. The principal cause of exhaustion
of soils under clean cotton culture is
duo to the constant leaching and wash
ing away of the soil. Most of this loss
is occasioned by tho removing of the
soil bodily, and not by dissolving out
or leaching of the soluble elements.
The object of this little discussion is
to impress upon farmers the impor
tance of providing against thoso tre
mendous leaks on the farm by the use
of tho most practicable means for the
purpose. The first resort is to sow in
small grain or grass every acre of their
rolling cotton lands. This, for present
consideration. It would be woll to
consider the propriety of discontinuing
in future tho planting of summer crops,
especially cotton, on brokon lands.
The immediate remedy is to sow small
grain on all rolling cotton lands. This
will serve in great moasure to prevent
washing during Vo winter and early
spring months. Farmers sow too little
small grain any way, and are too prone
to measure the benefits of such a
crop by the returns of its harvest, on
considering that a very large part of
benefits of a small grain crop consists
In the pasturage afforded and the "pre
vention of washing in winter. One
half bushel or even less, of Georgia
seed rye, or one bushel of grazing
oats, if sown In the cotton fields in
. September or October, will afford a
mass of roots and foliage that will very
effectually protect tho soli from wash
ing, while at tho same time the graz
ing affored to Block will rarely fail to
pay all the expensos of tho sowing.
The best fields or parts of fiolds may
be left to mature seed, while the re
mainder can be turned under for the
nourishment of a crop of corn or cot
ton. Southern Cultivator.
Rules For Planting Trees.
The following twenty rules are self
evident to most tree-planters, who, for
want of attention, break some of thorn,
and reminders are therefore often uso
ful: 1. A valuable sort is worth more
than merely a handsome tree.
2. Good, healthy, bracing roots arc
of more importance thou a symmetrical
ton( '
8. The toots should b" long- and
strong enough, and the top made light
enough to obviate any staking.
4. If the roots of a tree are frozen,
and then thawed out of the ground or
come in contact with tho air, the tree
will be killed.
5. If frozen roots are thawed in compactly-pressed
raollow earth, the tree
may be made to live.
6. Manure should novor be placed In
contact with the roots when setting out
a tree, but used for mulch or top-dressing.
7. Trees should always be set about
as deep as they stood in the nursery,
or two or three inches deepor, to allow
for the settling of the earth.
8. Spread out the roots nearly equal
ly on all sidos, so as to brace the tree
well.
9. Avoid particularly any small
cavity next the roots, but fill compact
ly against them on all sides with fine,
mellow earth.
10. A small, thrifty tree with" copi
ous roots when set out, will be a good
bearing tree sooner than a large one
with mutilated roots.
11. Watering in dry weather crusts
the surface, and does not reach the
roots.
12. Young troos should not be set In
a grass lot, or among any crops of sowed
grain; but the whole surface kept clean
and mellow.
13. Shriveled trees, before planting,
may be made plump by covering for
several days, compactly with moist
earth.
14. If newly-sot ones suffer from
drouth, mulch the ground about them,
and frequently sprinkle or shower the
stems and branches.
15. ' The roots extend as far from the
tree as its entire height; clean and
mellow cultivation should, therefore,
cover a circle twice as wide as its
height.
16. As a general rule, cultivation
should be continued for six, eight or
ten. years from, planting, after which
closely-grazed or lawn-mowed grass
may be permitted with frequent top
dressing. 17. The amount of manuring or top-
dressing must vary with the vigor of
the trees; young trees should grow two
or three feet yearly, and bearing ones
one foot or more.
18. Keop an eye to the future shape
of the treo, and timely remove small.
needless, crossing or crooked limbs.
This will obviate heavy pruning in
after years.
19. Pruning when dormant tends
to impart vigor; but if done when
growing or in leaf, it checks growth;
and therefore a feeble tree should
never bo pruned after growth com
mences in the spring. But healthy,
strong growers may be lightly pruned
at either season.
20. Most of the "bad luck" with
young trees and orchards is the result
of neglecting the preceding rules.

Feeding Oil Meal to Sheep.
American sheepmen are very spar
ing in their use of linseed meal and
cotton-seed meal in feeding sheep, and
are rather afraid of them because of
their strength. The experiments of
the celebrated Englishman, Sir J. B.
Lawes, favors their use, says tho Pitts
burg Stockman, though the linseed he
uses contains twelve per cent, of oil,
which is a high percentage even for
good old process linseed meal
He does not "think feed
ers of stock as a rule ap
preciate 'as they ought to do the oil
in linseed meal. They do not consider
a difference of three or four per cent,
in the amount of oil as of much conse
quence, especially when the seller in
forms them that with less oil they, get
a larger amount of their important
food ingredients." His experience is
strongly against tho use of the new
process linseed which contains much
less oil than the old process. Sural

Log Cabin Grandmothers. .
An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
in a eommon weed whose medicinal qualities
bare never before been suspected, a valu
able remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about this fact
Nothing,
And yet the very simplicity of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
just doubt upon its power. To make it one
has only to pour hot water over the leaves
of the plant In its preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re
quired. Is it to be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted as of such
great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted so
great an influence-in the maintenance of
health and life!
Certainly not I
The greatest pieces of machinery strike
us most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success of grand
mother's remedies was their freshness and
simplicity. Every autumn found tho little
Log Cabin abundantly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for use. Dreadm g to call a doctor be
cause of the expensiveness of his far-made
trips, thoy immediately ; gave attention to
the disease and routed it before it bad
gained a foothold.

and high tucked gown, and perchance be
spectacled In rough silver, her weary feet
encased in "hum made" slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view of many

The secrets of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly beina forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace of good
health. To restore the lost art of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire of a
Well-known philanthropist In whose ances
tral line were eight "goodly physicians" of
the old style, men who never saw a medical
college save in the woods, nor a "medical
diploma" except that insoribed on the faces
of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing
the old formula, which to-day are put forth
as "Log Cabin remedies" sarsaparilla, hops
and buohu, cough and consumption, and
several others, by Warner, whose name Is
famous and a standard for medical excel
lence all over the globe. These oldest, new
est and best preparations have been recog
nized as of suchsuperexcellence that to-day
they can be found with all leading dealers.
When Col. Ethan Allen was making his
tory along our northern frontier during the
revolution, CoL Beth Warner, the fighting
Bheridan of that army, who was a skillful
natural doctor, used many such remedies,
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa
parilla and cough and consumption remedy,
among the soldiers with famous success.
