What is Meant by Swamp Muck.

BY swamp muck we mean the
dark brown or blackish matter found
in our lowlands or swamps. 1t is a
fine fertilizer, from the fact that it
contains all the elements of plant
food. Decayed vegetable matter
makes up the bulk Of it's compost

a goodly proportion Of animal mat
ter resulting from the dissolution,
through generations untold, Of in

tirely wanting. The ash Of good

yer. A planter in Madison county
Florida, who has never cured his clo-
yer but made use of it in a green
state, writes of it as the best of green
food, and especially valuable to mich
COWS, both for abundant flow of milk
and richness and flavor of cream and
butter. This gentleman also expresses
himself with the confidence engend-
cred by thirty years experience in
regard to it's wonderful fertilizing
qualities.
Among cotton planters the objec'
ton has been raised in sections where
beggar-lioe is indigenous to the soil,
that it is liable to spring up in cotton
fields and hinder the picking and
waste the cotton by tangling the lint
in the sticky furze on the seed 9TH
ers contend that it requires more care
to cure and put up in large quantities
than hay or fodder and that the har'
vesting interferes with the cotton
picking. On the other hand its inn
mense yield per acre, its nutritive
qualities, its undoubted value as
renoyator of exhausted soils, and the
fact that itprevents wasting in large
measure and is powerful extermin.
ator OF noxious weeds recommend
the beggar lice especially to sections
where clover and grasses fail to
thrive, or where farmers possess worn
out lands or numerous herds ofstock.

A Georgia Fruit Farm.

The farm of DR.. Hape is eight
miles from Atlanta, on the Macon
and Western abroad, and has been
made station on that road, called
Hapeville, which is q thriving little
town. The farm consists Of 275 acres,
Of which fully one half is cleared, and
100 acres are in fruit Of every de-
ecription, lie has between 1900 and
5000 peach trees and 1000 pear
trees, as many apple trees, and 1900
grapevines. The larger part Of his
peach orchards are OF the early sorts,
as these are the most profitable. DR..
Hape has whole orchards of a single
kind Of peach For instance, he has
500 trees in a body ofthe Early Til
lotson, now in bearing. His trees are
loaded with fruit, and are marvel
Of prolific beauty. He had the Ans
den and Alexander peaches first, then
the Beatrice, then the Louise, then
the Hale's early. This latter variety
has rotted badly this year. He has a
young orchard of 800 Crawford's
Early trees about ready to bear, and
also an orchard of the Amelia. The
Chinese Clings, the earliest and finest
of our clingstone peaches, are about
ready to come into bearing. DIR.
Hape is the originator of Seeding
peach called Hape's Early, by tho
genealogical society, that bids fair to
equal, if mot surpass, any early peach
now known, in size, hardness, capac,
ity for shipping and beauty. He has
thoroughly tested it. 1t has also
been critically examined by the pom

spection, unhesitatingly endorsed as

The Strawber'y's Chief Need.

The impression is still prevalent
that the strawberry prefers to all
others, light, sandy soil. AS rule,
such soils are very dry, and plants
growing thereon are quickly injured
BY drought. This errone Gus impress
sion, which has been brought to my
attention several times of late, re-
minds me ola very enjoyable CONVEX
sation that l had with the Hon. Mar
shall p. Wilder, of Boston, not very
long since. AS I remember it, he
said that some one had written to
him asking what was the chief re-
quirement for successful strawberry
culture. He replied in substance:
SIN the first place the strawberfy's
chief need is a great deal of water.
In the second place, it needs more
water.
In the third place, | think, would
give it a great deal more water"
According to my experience this
piquant way of putting the truth is
scarcely an exaggeration. Bear in
mind, there, must be thorough Under
drainage. Mo water must stand and
stagnate ON the surface or just under
it. This is always ruinous. But hav-
ing secured proper drainage, then the
moister the land the better.-E p.

Sweet Beggar-lice or Indian Glover.


The sweet beggar-lice or Indian
clover which has recently been called
to the attention of agriculturists by
some of the Southern exchanges on
account of its value as fertilizer OF
the soil, as pasturage and as forage,
is by no means growth Of recent
introduction, it having been known
in some of the States for at least
half century. Neither isto be con-
founded with an obnoxious weed
having a bur-like fruit or nut with
hooked prickles, commonly referred
to as beggar-lice. BotaniCally the
plant under consideration is classed
Desmodsu,e conescens. 1t is legum-
inous, and yields large amount of
seed. Its leaves resemble those OF
the pea, the seeds are of an oval-tri
angular shape, very oily, and their
taste is almost Identical with that
of the pea. Its stalks or stems are
soft and fibrous, and are readily mas
ticated and digested by horses and
cattle. An annual, il nevertheless
often springs up from the roots Of the
previous years planting, and the crop
of the second season is al vigorous as
that of the first In good soil it
grows to the height of eight or ten
feet, and sends out long Lateral
branches in every direction. 1t feeds
largely upon the air, and as it draws
sustenance from both eaEth and air,
grows with surprising rapidly. Con
ditions being favorable, this crop
may be cut. as many as three times
in one season. The hay, when prop |
erly cured, is bright. aromatic, very
sweet and Juicy and very nutritious.
The proper time for curing it is Just
as it IS budding and blooming to
seed.
Fer many years this growth has
been utilized in those sections in the
South where it was grown at all. only
by pasturing the fields, This was
doubtless due to the fact that the
process Of curing the hay was not
we'll understood, Tor it is now accept
ed by many farmers in Southern
Georgia and Florida as a provender
for all kinds Of stock. Captain f. T.
Davis, Of Thomasville Ga, who has
had some ten years experience with
the plant and 10 whose reports of the
same the public are largely indebted
for information regarding it, says
that all kinds Of stock prefer sweet
sweet beggar-lice to corn, cats, fod-
der, pea-vines or grass hay. It's ana
lysis shows 49, per cent, of albumin
ODDS, and it is specially rich in sac.
charine matter. In paper read be.
fore the Georgia State Agricultural
Society Captain Davis said experience
has demonstrated that begear.lice is
more easily handled and cured than

testimony bearing directly on the subject
would be more familiar with the history of
the case, and if any law questions should
arise they might be referred to the JudiCi-
ary Committee. There appears to be gen.
eral disposition to avoid entering upon any
investigation which would undoubtedly
greatly prolong the session and prevent

The Western Mexican Border.
The War Department is informed by Cen
eral Mcdowell, commanding tie Military
Division of the Pacific, that indians and
MeXicans from the Mexican State of Sonora
have recently been committing depreda-
tons in Arizona that the United States
forces in pursuit of these raiders have been
stopped on the border by the Mexican au-
thorities, and forbidden to cross on penalty
of being treated as invaders. General Nc
Dowell, in transmitting this information,
asks for further instructions The subject
was under consideration, and it is under
stood that General Mcdowell has been mott
fed that the same general instructions is
sued to General Ord applies equally along
the entire boundary between Mexico and
the United States; that these raids must be
prevented, and that, if necessary to effect
this end, the raiders must be pursued across
the border into Mexican territory. 1t is not
believed here that the action of the Mexi-
can authorities of Sonora is inspired by the
Diaz Government. The State of Sonora has
for many years acted somewhat independ-
ent of the General Government, its policy
being to great extent controlled by the
Indian chiefs who inhabit its mountain
ranges

tenor of these instructions could not be
learned, but they are arousing the excite
ment of the Fenian raiders of 1866.
An interview was had with Colonel John
Quinn, who is thoroughly posted in regard
to all preparations, and who was in Black
Rock raid in 1866 He was captured and
sentenced to death at that time. but his
sentence was commuted to twenty years
imprisonment. After serving six years he
was pardoned by the Queen. He states that
there are three Irish companies here well
drilled, otficered and equipped. They are
on the qui vive waiting for the opening
hostilities between Russia and England
and are ready to move at moment notice,
The programme is to call a mass meeting
Immediately after the declaration of war,
and determine upon the action to be taken.
One thousand Western soldiers are notified
so they can be here in twenty-four hours,
While within this country there are thirty
thousand more who will render service for
raid within three days after orders are
issued.
Col. Quinn further states that General
Burke, formerly of the U. S. Army, and
now one of the trustees of the Skirmishing
Fund, has already received applications
from veteran officers in this city to be as
signed to command. No secrecy is main
tanned IN regard to this part, and Captain
Daniel Moran, of the Emmett Guards, OF
this city, is among the applicants, together
with several others.
Efforts were made to interview Daniel
Cruice and Justice Whalen, prominent Ma
tionalists but both are out of town, pre-
sumably on business connected with the
proposed raid Two of the Irish companies
have received their uniforms and are well
provided with arms and il ia understood
that several hundred stands of muskets are
to be sent here from New York in a few
days The matter has been so quiet that
the authorities have taken no action yet.
| The statement that Russia is to lend aid
| to Irish revolutionists in case of war, seems
to be well understood, and skirnshers say
the blow will be struck when least expect
