This Worn-out Country"

From the Southern Home, pub.
lished at Charlotte, N. O., we clip
the following paragraph. 1t is
not only applicable to this section,
but to the whole State. How Of.
ten have we heard it said that the
"land is worn ont from long culti
vation "-when by dint of a little
energy and perseverance, these
"worn out land " as they are CALI
ed, could be made as productive
and as valuable as they ever were.
Read what little energy will do {:
Mr.. James Hood of Clear
Creek, tells that he settled many
years ago on land naturally thin
and worn-out by long cultivation
in a loose way. He has never
used artificial manures and yet he
estimates that his yield of wheat
this year on his orchard was 25
bushels to the acre. This fact
shows the folly of seeking a new
country. What is the age Of our
oldest land in comparison with
that of the rich fields of England.
which have been in cultivation
over a thousand years and yet
yield each year more abundantly
than the preceding year y

PEA VINES FOR HAY.-To the
question, are pea vines a good
provender for cattle2 the follow
ing answer is given:
Peas cut when in blossom and
dried as hay, according to Prof.
S. w. johnson, contain IA per
cent. of albumen oids., and SO
per cent. of carbohydrates
Meadow hay contains 8 per cent.
of the first, and Al per cent. of the
latter, and clover hay contains 13
per cent. of the one and 20 per
cent. of the latter. It is seen that
the peas are nearly twice as val
uable as flesh forming feed than
hay, and equally valuable as clov.
er hay, while clover hay is not SO
valuable as heat forming food
Thus, peas are more valuable as
Winter feed than clover hay cut
in its best state. For fodder
crops peas should be sown up to
the middle of June, or as soon
after as possible, at the rate OF 81
bushels per acre, if sown alone,
or II bushels of oats will give al.
most double the crop; and as the
oats sustain the peas, the latter
are not 80 subject to mildew as
when sown alone.
