Tramps as Plantation Hands

Planters sometimes employ white
tramps by the month, and idlers from
cities who know little or nothing about
farming, and when they turn out to be a
failure, they say they have tried white
labor and it was a failure that the ne
gro is the best laborer.
If they put the best of negro labor,
the old trained hands, against the very
worst character Of white labor the com
parison gives the negro the advantage.
The truth, however, Is, that the best cul-
tivated sugar lands in the State, the best
managed mules and teams, the most eco
nomical and least wasteful labor are found
where good white men work and take of
the crops. On these plantations there is
little or no complaint about thefts, rows,
the annoyance of political clubs and ig-
norant politicians, and waste and de
struction of property, so common on plan
tations where negroes are employed.
If planters expect to make good labor
ers out of white tramps, or out of white
men who know nothing about farming,
they will be deceived. If they expect
10 get any good white men to work by the
month in gangs, and to have rations dealt
out to them, they will be deceived.
White farmers who understand this
business, young farmers who were raised
on good farms, and when fathers were
good farmers working on shares, and
making cane to sell by the ton, have
been a complete success, and may con-
1inue to be.

Guinea Grass.

There are three kinds of Guinea grasses
in the Southern States. cue of which is
said to grow six or seven feet high in rich
soil. It VIII grow well in any soil that
is not too wet, even in poor pine land,
but can hardly succeed in latitude above
80 degrees. The kind of Guinea grass
that is cultivated in Florida is said to be
wonderfully prolific The editor Of the
Florida Agricalturist has said ia his jour
nal, and has repeated the statement TO Us
in a private letter, that this grass will
yield three or four cuttings, and has
yielded in a single year fifteen tons of
hay from single acre. We lately met
a Florida farmer, formerly from Indiana,
who made the same statement. The edi
tor of the Agriculturist brought the seed
from Jamaica, where it has been growing
hundred and fifty years. Horned cat
tie arc fond of both the hay and the
grass. Even if the hay or the grass were
much inferior to most other hay and
grasses, and If it were half as prolific as |
the Florida people claim it to be, 1t must |
be valuable.

Bird. a. a Pro.ee.ion 10 FruIs.

For the past two years have been ex
perimenting somewhat, feeding the birds
to protect the fruit crop from insect dep
relations. For the spring and summer
of 1875 we fed something over TWEEN
ty-fve bushels of oats, also keeping water
in trough for them to drink. This last
summer we fed probably one-third more
oats, scattering some each morning, also
putting fresh water in the trough nearly
every morning The quail, dove, robin
aud black bird tame the easiest. The
dove raises several broods during the
season; | frequently passed within two
feet Of where the dove was sitting on her
eggs, without her flying away. The
whipPoOrwills used To come every even
ing to feed on the oats; at least they
were in the apple trees over my oat box.
/ never allow gun fired in the orchard
if can help it. The orchard is about
one-half mile from the timber; | have
frequently noticed, when a gun was fired
in the timber, that the birds would come
in focks to the orchard. The birds ate
and destroyed from twenty to thirty
bushels of apples, also some cherries.
The catbird, klngbird, robin aud wood
pecker are the most destrucuvei the
prairie chicken and pheasants ate some
fallen fruit Now for the advantages:
1t is a pleasant thing to feed them
and hear hundreds Of them sing
at once. The apple worm or codling
moth, as it is called, nearly destroyed
every apple in some orchards not Two
miles from me. We raised and mar
keted something over three thousand
bushels of apples, and [ don't think
there was one bushel of wormy ones in
the lot. This will be read by many who
bought apples of me, and they shall
/ bear witness for the birds. | am free to
admit that two or three yearsais not time
to give anything Of this kind a fair trial,
as it may take, under some circum-
stances, much longer time to tame the
birds. | hope that every fruit-grower
will give the birds fair trial, and see
what advantage they are to them
