Bear Experience.

The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer gives
the following as the experience Of a
Georgia farmer We think it is also
the experience Of too many farmers
everywhere;
| am poor because | buy more than /
sell. In the first place | buy part Of
my meat from the northwest, my fish
comes from Portland, for the taking Of
which the Mainelander receives Il bounty
from the Government. Ny onion sets
and all my garden seeds | buy from
Michigan. / sold the wool from eigh-
teen sheep at thirty seven and half
cents per pound to an agent of Il hat
manufacturing company at Reading,
PENNSYLVANIA. -Four months thereafter
| bought "A hat from the same company,
paving at the rate Of six dollars a pound
for the wool. The hide of buck | sold
at five cents per pound. 1t went to Ell
mira New York, was tanned, sent back,
and | bought it at thirty five cents per

Guinea Grass.

There are three kinds of Guinea
grasses in the Southern States. one of
which is said to grow six or seven feet
high in rich soil. 1t will grow we'll in
any soil that is not too wet, even in poor
pine land, but can hardly succeed in a
latitude above SO degrees. The kind Of
Guinea grass that is cultivated iii Florida
is said 10 be wonderfully prolific. The
editor of the Florida Agriculturist has
said in his journal, and has repeated the
statement to us ia q private letter, that
this grass will yield three or four cuttings,
and has yielded in single year fifteen
tons of hav from single acre. We lately
met Florida farmer. formerly from
Indiana, who made the same statement.
The editor of the Agricultufist brought
the seed from jamaica, where ii has been
growing $50 years. Horned cattle are
fond of both the hay and the grass. Even
if the hay or the grass were much infe
rior to most other hay and grasses, and
if it were half as prolific as the Florida
people claim it to be, it must be valuable
We have never seen the Florida Guinea
grass, but that which we have in Louisi
and does not grow over three or four feet
high. 1t is propagated from either seeds
or roots, but best from the seeds. 1t will
not grow in wet lands.

ScaIIawa= Cattle.

We saw the other day a considerable
sized lot of oxen driven ont of the stock
yards that were III aboutthe lowest pos
sible condition as To flesh They were
net fit for human food in any form; in a
word they were nothing more than bone
covered with skin, and yet they were be-
ing taken to a slaughter-house to be
slaughtered, and have their carcasses put
upon the market to be sold for human
food. No we'll TODD thrifty farmer would
ever allow himself to become the owner
of such stock in any way. The rearing,
keeping, handling and marketing of such
stock is disgraceful to all parties concern
ed in it, and in a country like ours there
is no excuse in the first place to justify
the production of such stock. Feed of
every kind is both abundant and cheap,
and there is no farmer but what loses
both time and money in every instance
where he allows himself to produce or
keep such stock as we have described.
Thus far during the present spring
season we have been getting here an
unusually large number of poor, thin
cows for this season of the year, so low
and thin in flesh that no one wants to
have anything to do with them. They
have fo be urged on the market, and
when sold bring very low irregular prices.
We repeat again, that there is no profit
in the production of such stock.-Droyers
Journal.

y correspondent of a contemporary
says he protects his squash vines from the
bugs by the use of kerosene. He merely
moistens ashes with it which are placed
in the vicinity of the vines. He has tried
it two years successfully. The efficiency
of the remedy must come from its odor.

A writer in the American Rural Home
says of the new enemy which has appeared
on peach trees: This worm Is trife
over one-fourth Of an inch long, Of just
the color OF a withered peach stem, with
small head which giistens like a black
glass bead. It's first appearance was i'm
mediately after the peach bud began to
push, and it continued operations On the
twigs up to about June 7, when they
seem to be DO longer seriously injured.

Of fruit growers here whether their trees
were infested, they replied they bad Oh
served the twigs whitening, bat supposed
it was caused by the dry weather. On
old trees the young fruit Is often eaten
into by the worm, after which 1t falls
from the tree.
1t Is impossible to say how destructive
this new enemy lif such It proves to be-
may prove 10 be in future, but if no rem
edy Is discovered, its depredations must
be serious.
