CHINESE SUGAR CANE FOR STOCK.
We published, short time ago, an extract
from letter of Mr.. Pyles to the Rome
Southerner, cautioning farmers against the
danger of feeding stock on the Chinese sugar
cane, giving his own and some OF his neigh.
boris experience in The matter This has
brought out rejoinder from Mr.. Ridgway,
Of Greene county. Ala, whom we know to
be one Of the very best planters Of Alabama,
not only in the successful production Of good
crops Of cotton. corn and other grain, but OF
fine stock. We give below the letter of Mr..
Ridgway:
DEAR SIR: Under the caption Important
to Farmers" observe in your last paper an
extract from a letter written by Mr.. P,les,
Of Chattuoga county, Ga, to the Rome Sonth
erner. warning the public against the danger
Of feeding cattle on green Chinese sugar cane.
He has learned "by bitter experience" he
says, +" that il will kill COW in thirty min
utes after eating it, My experience has led
me to different conclusion, aud that the
public may not be frightened from the use of
so valuable a provender as | consider the
Chinese sugar cane to be, will give the re-
suit Of two years experience with il. Last
year (l857l had but small lot Of the Chi.
nese sugar cane planted; il turned out very
well, and pressed all Of it. | fed the crushed
cane to my mules. cows and hogs; they were
all fond Of il and iattened on it-none died.
had nice lot of wheat straw about that
time, and | concluded to pack il down and
mix some Of the crushed cane with It. Iput
in two loads Of straw to one of cane, and ar.
ter time fed il all out 10 nv mules and
cows they thriged on il none of them died.
This year 1883 ! planted fifty acres or
more in Chinese sugar cane, about the time
il begun to head turned in some cows and
pigs and commenced cutting and hauling II
out To my mules and COWS. They improved
on it daily. ! then fenced of portion Of the
field and turned in thirteen Of nv best milch
cows, several heifers and large bull, and
also thirty mules and horses and three hun.
dred head Of hogs. They have eaten down
entirely the portion fenced of, and ! am nov
cutting and hauling out the cane TO them
again. My cows give more aud richer milk
than they did before ! commenced using the
cane, and my mules and horses are in better
order. have MT lost single pig. hog

letter for the benefit of the planters.

BEES AND BEE HIVES.
II NAV be laid down as an almost incon-
troyertible iact. that the more simply bee
hives are constructed, tie better they will
satisfy their tenants. The largest and most
successful bee.keepers in this country,
among which we instance Mr.. QuInby, IN
this State, Judge Fi.hbeck, in Ohio, and W.
II. Todd. in Indiana. find the more simply,
that is the more naturally they treat their
bees, the more successful they are.
Probably the best form Of beehive that can
be con,riyed il made ol boards, cut to give a

the end Of the boxes next TO the donr should

A great deal has been said about the me-
cessity, on account of ventilation, of making
hives open at the bottom. In reply to this,
let men think that bees in a wild state pros
per well in the hollow Of tree where there
is but one small hole for entrance Of the bees
or ventilation, and that open-end hives,
standing on bench. are often cemented fast
to it, and sometimes holes, as we have di.
rected, for ventilation, are sealed up as close
ly as though air was poison to the inmates
Of the hye.
HIvlNe BEEs.-We have lately read very
sensible plan for hiving a swarm of bees.
Watching them as they came from the hive,
and seeing where they we're gathering to
settle on tree, the owner put large woolen
yarn stocking on pole, and thrust il up
through the limbs, and Immediately the bees
begin to alight upon il and were soon all
clustered, when he gently lowered the pole
to table which the good wife had prepared
while he held the swarm. and then placing
the hive over the bees, the pole was with
drawn from the stocking, and in five min
utes they went to work cleaning out their
new house.
The next day, the women folks hiyed a
swarm in the same way without any man to
assist.

New SPECIES OF CoTToN.-Mr. Thomas
Smith who resides in the immediate vicinity
Of Richmond. has small field Of cotton which
is considered curiosity By all who have seen
it. Ii differs but little in appearance from
the ordinary kind. except in color. which is
as delcately crimson as maiden's blush.
Not only is the stalk of this gorgeous hue,
but the leaves also, the vividness of the col
or fading. however. as it approached the mar
gin Of the leaf. into purpish green. This is
not the effect Of disease or Of any extraneous
circumstances connected with culture but a
pcculiarity in the plant itself, every stalk pos.
sessing the rich and beautiful glow, and as
thrifty as any cotton in the country. Where
the seed originally came from we have not as
yet ascertalned. The prospect of a heavy
yield is equal to that Of any other species, be-
ing well boiled, aud the weed of vigorous
growth. We were shown the lint of few
bolls OF last years growth. and for fneness
aud length Of staple we believe is not inferi-
or TO the sea island. IL this cotton turns out
as well as resent appearances Indicate, it will
be valuable acquisition to this branch Of az.
ricnltural industry.

DISCOVERY or CnEsr OF 0LD Coixs.-The
London Court Journal has the following:
/" 4 most extraordinary discovery. which,
for obvious reasons, is sought to be kept
profound secret, has taken place in an old
ruined house at Iricl. An immense chest,
full Of gold and silver coins Of English stamp,
has been found concealed in one Of the cell

From the papers and documents contained
likewise in the chest il has become evident
that the house was once inhabited by Boiling
broke, who must have laid concealed here
during the period wherein his whereabouts
