MESQUITE GRASS.

AT a late meeting of the South Caroil-
ma Agricultural Society, the President
read fhssfollowing communication from
Col. Wade Hampton, which was ORDER

| Columbia, Nou. "a, ls42.
Dear Sir.-The meeting of the State
Agricultural Society affording favorable
opportunity for its distribution, beg leave
to place at your disposal, for that purpose
about two bushels of Musquite grass
seed. This grass is native OF Texas,
and as far as [ am capable of forming an
opinion bv an experiment of single year,
is admirably adapted to our country II
|has, understand, been successfully cul-
tivated by Mr.. Carter of Alabama, tor
some years past, and the high estimate he
placed on it, induced him very kindly to
send me few quarts of seed in the sum,
mer of 1910. These seed were planted
in September following, in drills, came
up with great regularity, and continued
to yegetate during the whole winter. a
drought of unusual duration in the spring,
and another in July, accompanied by IN.
tense heat, produced no visible effect on
If and # has continued to flourish through
all the vicissitudcs of most disastrous
season. The seedw sown on dry al
luvial soil, which had been E Rrsns1rd Ground not
tgFpgdSi s4d tem esmafR 81 an acre, gather
ed fourteen bushels of seed. 1t will, |
think, make fine hay, growing from two
and a half to three feet high; and IN Its
native prairies it forms the favorlte pas
ture of The wild horses and buffalo,.
Approaching as ! do, your unt1ring ex-
crtions in the great cause of agriculture,
l offer no apology for the trouble impose
on you, in distributing the seed that ac-
companies this letter.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

One of the strongest arguments we
know, in favor of system of high cult
walton, is this, that experiments, which
are always made with, the greatest pains,
are almost invariably successful, produ-
cling astonishing results, whilst the same
thing, under more slovenly mode OF
husbandry, proves utterly worthless.

It = we'll established fact. that any lot of
poor land may be enriched to almost any
extent by planting it from year to year
with sweet potatoes and turning IN the
whole crop of vines every autumn: Let
our planters try the experiment and satls-
fy themselves. Select piece of your
old fields and be willing to incur the trivial
expenses of seed and planting. How
soon can you reclaim all your old pine
fields which now make such an unsightly
appearance among ouF9best plantations.
SEED PorAToEs.-Our own observa-
ton and experience justify us in saying
that,in equality of soil, manure and cui, u,
ture, the product of large potatoes will
always greatly exceed that of small I'M
perfect ones, though of the same variety.
We recoflect, on one occasion, to have
bought a lot of thirty bushels of refuse
potatoes, because Of their che0PneSs, tor
tlantinc, which we treated with every
possible care, so far as manure, prepara-
ton of the soil, and after culture were
concerned. The product Of this lot were
like their parents, perfect dwarfs, small
alike in vines and tubers, and appearing
from the beginning not to possess the re,
ouisitc viuor to insure healthful vegetation
We made, from planting Of ten bushels
of the same variety of the potato, which
we selected in consequence of their great
size, planted in similar ground, and treat;
ed in all respects alike as to manure ano
culture, the same season, six times as
many roots as from the first parcel. Ano
while the first were, from their dlmnutlve
size, too small for any thing but to feed
stock, the latter was as large roots as an!
farmer need desire to raise: many OF then

Too much industry cannot be used by
