COTTON SEED TO AN ACRE.

EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.-Dur.
lug the year past, in a number of the Cul,
tivator, you advised using from thirty (3O)
to one hundred bushels of cotton seed to an
acre of corn.
Will you listen to a subscriber who en-
dcavorcd to carry out your directions to the
letter, and hear the result? On medium
land used 30 bushels per acre. Corn grew
Oft fncy-madc large stalk-good ear.
Next, used so bushels per ere on land

Corn grew off well:-made no more than
the poorer land.
In the fall concluded to SOW in oats both
fields, and, in pulling up corn stalks where
the 30 bushels were used found about one
third or half the seed unappropriated-
the seed clinging to the old stalk or in the
soil immediately around it. Concluded to
try the field where SO bushels were put
Result the same--only larger cluster of
seed still remaining We then went to
five acre patch where only Is bushels per
acre we're used-pulliDg up the stalk, found
none left. Land as poor as any planted
made as good, if not better, corn with half
the manure. We came to this conclusion
20 bushels of cotton seed crushed, plenty
to manure an acre of land for corn. More
can be put on when the land belongs to the
farmer, but is clear loss to the renter
Seasons during the year as good as could
be wished for. Cultivation clean and rap

Newton county, Ga, Dec. 25, 1876.
Your experience does not accord with
ours-nor that of many others which have
been published. We have eapplied as much
as 20 bushels Of cotton seed per acre to
corn on bottom lands, and with most salts
factory results. One is quite liable to be
deceived about the appropriation of the
seed by the corn, inasmuch as the woody
hulls of the seed take a long time to rot
Within few days past we found some of
the hulls still whole, and apparently little
changed, (the kernel gomez which had been
buried in the soil last June.
Ii, however, your conclusions are correct,

1t would be bad policy apply large guam
titles Of cotton seed, for another important
reason: The chief value y eseed as man
ure arises from its ammonia producing ca.
pacity, and of producing il in compare.
lively short time. Now, ammonia applied
to the soil, if not appropriated quickly by
growing crops, is liable to be changed into
Nitrates and leached out of the soil, 80 that
neither tenant nor landlord can get the ben.
etit of it. All are familiar with the fact
that cotton seed is not permanent manure;
its grertest power being exerted the first
year after its application.-Ep. So. CULT.

1NQUIRY--CHUFAs RAISING PORK
WHEAT


EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIvATOR.--Will|
Bermuda grass grow on very light sandy
land, that will not make more than three or
four bushels of corn per acre2 Where can
1 get enough to start with p? I have some
fifteen acres of such laud. Even broom
sedse does not grow well on it. / would
be glad to make the land in question profit
able as pasture for sheep aud calves. 1t
grows peas tolerably WELL but is so light
that corn will burn almost up in dry wealth
er; in fact. it is not worth cultivating in
general farm crops Ihave raised chufas this
year, and find them very prolific on sandy
land. sAm satisfied that land that will make
ten bushels of corn, will make from IS to
100 bushels of chufas per acre and the
chuta seems to be worth about the same as
corn. bushcl for bushcl, that is, in connec-
tion with peas and sweet potatoes.
would recommend starting hogs on chu-
fas, say the first or tenth of September;
and keep on chufas alone, say fifteen or
twenty days, then let them have potatoes
and chufas, or potatoes, peas and chufas.-
Do not plant too many chufas in connection
with peas and potatoes, as hogs will eat the
chutas in preference to any thing, except
eOrn, aud seem to be about as fond of the
chufa as corn.
The above is my plan Of raising pork ; that
is, let them run at random, say nine or ter
weeks, then put them in lots and feed on
cooked potatoes and corn, say one-half po-
tatoes and the other half corn, for three or
weeks, which makes very good pork. Man
aging thus, have enough chufas left to
keep out hogs, say two months during win
ter. There is no reason why we can't raise
pork as cheap as the Northwest, and keep
our money at home, which is very impcr-
tant at this time.
also raise wheat, which is very easily
done by using Peruvian Guanape guano.-
raised this year, on very poor land, ten
bushels per acre, by applying 40 Tbs. gu
anape per acre. This guano seems to be
perfect manure for wheat in this section of
country. The land, after being in wheat,
is left in better condition than if it had
rested. Ii. NJ. JOHNSON.
Bermuda grass will grow on any kind of
land, but on very poor, such as you describe,
will make correspondingly poor growth.
1t is regarded, and justly so, as an improver
of land, especially that which is rolling, be-
cause it stops washes and retains all small
pieces Of vegetable matter which are ordi-
nariiy foated off during rains. But you
could not reasonably expect much pasturage
from it on your poor laud-morc, however,
than from broomsedge. 1t is very wide
spread through middle Georgia, but VIC
know of no one who makes business of
selling it. Whether we can make pork as
cheap as they do in the Northwest is per-
haps an open question, but one thing is
quite certain, We can raise it at much cheap
er rates than it is bought at present with cot
ton money.-ED. So. CULT.

NkXlCAN HATRED.

Ever since the revolt Of 1916. which ss,
SUCCESSFULLY wsged by the people Of Te1a
against the Government Of Mexico, ths
ignorant mass Of Mexicans have regarded
the people Of the United STATES as theil
natural enemies. This feeling led to tbs
war With that country ef lS4s-7-S, which
terminated in the peace of GuadsluE G
Hidalgo, and the loss Of Mexico Of ell
Texas, part Of Tamaulipas and New Me1i-
co and all California. This second victor,
increased the hatred towards Americas
Since that time depreda.iops on our boI-
ders have never ceased. Our ccnciliatio,
and forbearance, instead Of lessening these
have had a tendency to enbolden the
thieves and robbers, for they have a,tribu-
ted our inactivity to eowardice.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the diff
ferent Mexican administrations have
shared with the ignorant masses the hatred
towards Cur government otherwise they
would not have 80 long continued to pul
forth the plea that they were unable to IT.
strain their people along the borders. IL
fact their legislation has been hostile and
discriminating against the United States,
and this has been induced by too friendly
policy on our part towards Mexico. Her
failure to comply with her treaty obliga-
tions has been suoothed over her himsy
excuses for outrages psrpetrated on our
citizens have been received as satisfactory,
and the mere declarations Of her represen-
tatives have been received and accepted in
preference to the officers and the sworn
statements Of our citizens The result is |
as might have been expected. We have
forfeited the respect due US. "IDstesd Of
staying the hand Of violence, it has invil. d
attack. Instead Of dislrming resentment
it has increased enmity. We have essay
ed to be magnanimous, and have earned
contempt. Where does the blame attach ? |
Tothe foreign craftsmanship Of Washington. |
Its persistent leniency towards Mexico has
been a mistake, an injustice, and an inhu.
manity both to Mexico and to Americans
Henceforth our policy towards that |
country must be changed, and if we mis-
take not this is the view the present Ad.
ministratIon takes Of the matter. We
must no longer cherish the idea that Mex.
leo is loo weak to be held responsible for
The wrongs Of her citizens. We must ex.
act indemnity for the past and security
for the future. The welfare Of eur citizens
demands this, and border.war is inevi,s-
bic unless this he done.

An ornamental official is photographed as
follows by the Austin Reveille of Tuesday:
A certain deputy county official, who has
by services in his official capacity fully demon
strated his usefulness, has now assumed the
role of ornamental. He is the possessor of a
moustache, recently discovered by the aid of
a powerful refracting telescope sent here by
the Government for the Signal Service station
When the Government observer announced
to the official the discovery of this satellite
of his upper lip, the gentleman proceeded in
stanter to the barber and had it dyed, in the
hope that its darkened color might make it
visable to the naked eye. Whether it was be-
cause of the constituents of the dyeing prepar-
alton or whether through some chemical action
evolved by the hairs of the discovery is I'M
certain; but, at any rate, his lip is graced with
a sky blue streak which looks like black eye
in the wrong place. To highten the effect the
official has mounted one of the latest style
standpp collars, the points of which strike the
corners of his mouth. This morning a man
mistook the rear of the collar for a dead-wall
and posted on it handful offering a reward
for the return of lost dog; and now the Off
cial is the most ornamental man in Austin.

THE ELECTION IN ALPINE COUNTY.

Mr.. S. F. Jones of Empire and Mr.. Glover
of the Mint both returned from Alpine county
yesterday. Mr.. Glover reports the defeat of
the Republican candidate for District Attor-
ney. Mr.. Jones brings us quite complete
returns, so far as they relate to the legislative
ticket According to his figuring Brown, the
Republican candidate for the Senate Ooint
Senator of Alpine and Eldorado) receives 11s
majority in that county, while Folger, the
Republican candidate Goint) forthe Assembly
receives but majority. Mr.. Jones reports
that Folger had caused great posters to be
printed declaring that if elected he would not
vote for Sargent for the Senate. The vote
shows that the people there resented this
slur upon the Senator. During the election
Jones was at Silver King precinct. 1t is a.
this place that the woodchoppers and river
drivers congregate. Jones showed himself
acknowledging Empire Republican of the
short hair stamp He couldn't and wouldn't
and didn't stand Folger's impertinent repudi-
atoms of Sargent; and so the returns from
Silver King show as follows: Brown, Rep,
Senate, 81 votes; Griffith, Dem, Senate s
votes; Folger, Rep, Assembly, Z votes
Mott, Dem, Assembly, 81 votes This set
ties the case for Mr.. Folger. Eldorado is
Democratic, land unless he could carry his own
county by handsome majority his case was
hopeless So much for ''falling down" under
a howl Jones is decidedly gleeful over
Browns victory and Folger's rebuke, declar-
ing with much emphasis that Sargent is tn.

THE LATEST FROM BoDIE.-Tom Condor,
who interviewed late arrival from Bodie,
says that our report of the killing of Jack,

only, if anything, the murder was of a more

made it SEEM The murdered man was a
great favorite, and was peaceful, jovial and
Industrious Davis is a hardened, depraved
character, gambler of the lowest type and
an associate with the vilest of the vile. How
he came to receive such an important trust
as an appointment as Deputy Sheriff we can
not imagine. The reported lynching had not
yet taken place. Davis is still in custody and
is to have a speedy trial. Justice demands
that the severest penalties of the law be adj
