GUINEA GRASS IN THE SOUTH.

We have met in our exchanges sever
al favorable notices of Guinea grass,
and among them the following refer
ence to statements made by a Florida
correspondent by the Neay York Com
81erciaL Advertiser:
a correspondent writing from Flori-
da says that there is a very noticeable
desire in the southern part of the State
to abandon the cultivation of long
staple cotton for something better.
Cultivation of fruit, growing of sugar
care, and cattle raising are IN popular
thought. In the vicinity of Little river
one thousand Scuppernong grape vines
have been set and number of peach
orchards have. beenJ planted; at the
same time twenty proprietors inaslngle
neighborhood have started apple, pear,
and cherry orchards. All the trees re-
ferred to are FROM Southern nurseries.
Our correspondent, however, regards
the grass question as of the greatc- st
Importance, feed for cattle beirg ii
prime need. Guinea giass he regards
as fully meeting the want,
Fifteen years expeL1ence with Guinea
grass in Georgia forbids the writer
joining in Is commentator. 1t is
very tenacious of life, and will grow on
ratLer poor sandy land, whether in
Georgia or Florida; but when ripe and
dry, it is little more nutritious than
pine leaves or straw and saw-dust
When young and green cattle eat it as
they do young sedge, and it should be
cut early for hay. Our stock would
always leave Guinea grass tC
graze on Bermuda; and Bermuda
is much improved by having the
land rich enough to grow alfalfa Oh
lucerne with it. From the Ohio river
on the north, to Key West on tn,
south, the art of making frst-rate pas
lures should be studied as a speciality
In some parts of Kentucky and Ten
nessee this important art receives con
siderable attention; yet, at the Agri
cultural College Farm, in Michigan
one hundred tons of blue grass turf
are grown on an acre. The under
ground stems or rhino was of Guine;
grass, and.of Bermuda, may possibly
yield as much. One hundred tons 0.
green vegetation on an acre is a grea
protection against drouth and soil
nakedness. A great deal of our LAND
IN the South needs such protection.

GRASS CULTURE IN THE SOUTH

JUNE Z, lS74.-Dr. Lee: Your many
intel esting articles on grass planting
have influenced me so far that | am re-
solved to make an effort in that way
l have five acres which l propose to
SOW IN clover or grass. We know 50
little about such matters here, that one
is somewhat at a loss when and how to
begin. My idea is, to have perma-
nent pasture for my stock, of one acre;
from the remainder hay is to be cut
VIII you kindly direct me as to the
best way to insure the best results?
The land lies in Talbot county, Ga. It
is between real sandy sell and stiff
pretty good cotton or corn land, but
with scarcely enough clay for wheat,
and has been under cultivation some
time. This is the best descrip-
ton l know how to give. | would
like to know exactly when and how to
begin, what kind Of fertilizer to use and
what quantity. l may have some cot
ton seed, but not sufficient for the
whole. Tell me what kind of seed is
best, also the quantity necessary, where
to get them and how to plant them; in
short, tell me everything you would
suppose one ought to know under such
circumstances. Also, what amount of
hay one might expect to get from one
acre planted as you will advise and how
many cows the one acre would pasture.
By replying to this you would greatly
oblige

One of the very best efforts made by
women recently, is the formation of a
Physiological Society in Brooklyn. 1t

Church element, its President being
the wife of the Rev. DIR. Cuyler, and
its members and officers repI esent the
class of women heard of heretofore on

1t deserves encouragement for the one,
great reason that it means to reform
the present style of dress. Not by be-
ginning out in Ethiopia, or the Sand
witch Islands as the missionaries do,
but with themselves first, their fami-
lies next, and then those over whom
they exert any influence.
The reform is a much needed one.
but whether it will avail or not remains
to be seen. Women are united to their

Hawaiian Reciprocity.

number of foreigners engaged IN business
in Honolulu have addressed petition TO King
Kalakaua to reopen negotiations with the Gov
eminent of the United States for Reciprocity
Treaty, without WHICH, in their opinion, the bust
ness Of the Kingdom will not afford enough
revenue to maintain the Government or the pres
ent population They regard reciprocity as the
only practical method of securing a profitable
market for their sugar, which is the main hope
for the development Of their agricultural industry
in the near future. Unless some stimulus can be
given by legislation to sugar planting, they fear
disaster to the financial interests OF the Gov
eminent, and all the Inhabitants Of the King
dom. in the near future" The petition is an
appeal to Kalakaua its publication is an appeal
to the people aud Government Of the United
States, and is entitled TO careful and favorable
consideration. Our Administration should strain
a point to aid and encourage the little Hawaiian
realm, which, by its geographical position, IT'S
trade its past and future, Is made TO a consider
able extent dependent upon US Its civilization
aud many Of its foreign residents are American,
and to the generosity, if not TO the justice OF
America, it now looks for protection against
bankruptcy. Our Administration has recently
framed a reciprocity treaty with Canada, treaty
that, if ratified. will conflict in many points with
large industries in the States near the Lakes. A
Hawaiian Reciprocity treaty would conflict very
slightly with American industry, and would at
tach the Hawaiian people to us with bonds that
would grow stronger as time passes.
The Hawaiian Islands have an area Of several
hundred thousand acres now untitled that would
produce sugar with much profit If it could be ad
mitted free Of duty into San francisco, but With
mt free market here the cane cannot be cult
waited there on a larger scale than at present
These sugar districts are much TO them but little
for a patton like ours and years would elapse
before thew would be all titled. Any treaty
would probably conisiu clause providing for its
abrogation after year or two by either party and
fear that II would not be permanent would cause
DELAY In planting much OF the available ground, so
that five or even ten years might elapsc before the
Islands would reach the full capacity OF their pro-
ductiop: and the changes from the present circnm-
stances would be very gradual. II there be any
serious objection to reciprocity, it must be based
either on large. sudden or a very large ultimate
increase in importation; aud neither appears prob
able TO us: mat is, considering the word large"
In reference to the sugar consumption Of the United
States though the case would be dinerent IN refer
ence to the past productionof the Hawaiian Islands,
We must not overlook the beet sugar industry
which is confined in the United States 70 California
and il deserves the protection of Congress as much
relatively as the iron furnaces OF Pennsylvania OF

From the san Francisco Builetin.I
Reciprocity with Hawaii.

The reciprocity question is again being ngitated
ia the Hawaiian Kingdom Tbs last mail brings
intelligence that petition has been presented to
the King, signed by prominent merchants Of
Honolulu. requesting the Government to negoti-
ate with Washington on the subject. This pc
iilion has been forwarded to the Legislature by
the King with a recommendation that action be
taken upon it, and it may be expected, III the
present temper of public feeling in the islands,
that an appropriation will be made for sending an
embassy to this country to conduct the nego-
tiatious Since the decline Of whaling, the only
with the production of sugar. The question Of
finding profitable market for their sugar is an
all-absorbiug one to the planters. A few months
ago the sugar planters of Hawaii thought they
had found this 10 the Australian colonies, aud
RECIPROCITY treaty with New South Wales was
the pauacea for all the evils which had come up
on the islands But after two or three ship
ments, it was found that even with the duty of.
sugars were so low in Australia that the Ha-
waiaus could not export there except at positive
loss. So the Hawaiian planters have returned
TO their first love. and will doubtless press their
suit for reciprocity with the United States with
more ardor than formerly.
With this question Of reciprocity the old,ques-
ton Of annexation may be again reopend, but 1t
may be accepted that anything looking toward
the entire cession Of the islands must come from
the people themselves The recent transfer OF
FIJI to Great Britain invests the subject with
fresh interest, aud in connection with il also
there IS the fact that the Sandwich Islands viii
be midway station for the transpaoifc
cable between this coast and China. We are
nearest nelghbOrs TO the Hawaiians, and in the
commercial interests growing up in the Pacific
the islands will become more important to us IN
the future than in the past. The civilization
which has grown up there is essentially Ameri-
eau, and the customs Of the people are aSsimilat-
ing more To those Of the United States than to
the European nations established there by the
exigencies of commerce. Ii Is said, aud with
some force. that upon the death OF the present
King, there being no more direct representatives
Of kameha neha the islands must gravitate TO-
ward this Republic. There is new before the
United States Senate, waiting for action, when
Congress reaSsembles, proposal for renewing
reciprocity with Canada, aud the California Leg
islatnre has asked Congress TO negotiate SINH
lar treaty with Mexico. The application of Ha-
vah will make third. so that the whole ques-
ton OF cullivating commercial connections with
cor neighbors will come up for review at the en-
suinr session of Congress

the cotton mills of Massachusetts,. Our beet sugar
companies are not yet in condition to regard with
Indifference the free importation of foreign sugar,
and they would soon close If the sugars of Peru and
Manila were admitted without duty; but We pre-
sumo they would not be seriously injured by reei-
procity with the Hawasn Islands, especially if the
treaty should provide only for the free admission Of
raw sugars. 1t is very doubtful whether the REIN
ing could be done with profit in tue Islands, butt
is not well for our Government TO encourage expert
meuis there in that line at present. The Hawaiian
petition solics relief for the planters Of sugar and
that can be given without going beyond the raw
sugar We commend the petition 10 the attention
of the Cabinet at Washington.
There is no reason why We should fear to mention
the word annexation = here. The Hawaiians are
opposed to the surrender of their political indie
pendeuce ard great public interest Of the United
States demands the acquisition of their Islands.
They could add little to ourreyenue or 10 our naval
or military strength, and might cost us much for
defence. National pride might be gratifed by hav-
Jug them under the Stars and Stripes, aud their ac
QUESTION would BE- hailed with delight by many OF
our citizens But ii would be great mistake on
our part to show any anxiety for annexation, or
even TO consent to it, If offered by the Hawaiian
Government, unless we knew that il was acceptable
to the majority of the Hawaiian people When
they solicit annexation as favor and not till then,
should We seriously entertain any proposition in
reference to the matter II should be'our policy TO
treat Canada, Mexico and the Islands near TO US on
the Atlantic aud Pacific, with such justice and gen
crosby that they will beg the privilege Of coming
under our flag and that they will even change their
laws, if We see fit to make the change condition OF
our consent Such feeling among our neighbors
might be cultivated by kindness = never by the
present checks on trade.
