ADDRESS OF JOS. ID. SHIELDS, he
FORE THE JEFFERSON COUNTY
p. VI. q M. ASSOCIATION.

|
We have received very interesting
address from Mr.. Shields which is
practicable, and filled up with good,
sensible advice to our farmers. If it
We're not for its great length we would
copy the whole address.
He advises more unity of action to-
ward building up facs1'ios md rail
roads. In speaking a, IN g.. benefit
to be derived from railroads, and the
advantages that would accrue to this
isolated portion of country, he says:
The great back bone of our State be-
tween the Pearl and the Mississippi
that was almost wilderness forty
years ago. has now a thriving village
ON every vertebIa. If you doubt it,
you can call the roll: Osyka, Magno-
liza, Summit, BrookhaVen, Wesson,
Hazlehurst, Crystal Springs-each if
called upon to answer could reply that
"the railroads have been to us the
bountiful river of life" If these be
facts, why may we not hope that the
little Martins nest over the way may
not hatch out brood of nests?
From these considerations in brief
| would therefore earnestly urge you
to give our road helping hand; give
her lick ahead whenever you can,
and if you find that she can't bridge
the chasm between here and Jackson,
then help to build the chasm and you
will never regret it. 1t will dispense
with the necessity of artificial immi-
grafton societies, for railroads invite
immigration per Sc, and from beyond
the sea.

Pimching Back Grape Vines.

A correspondent asks if he would
recommend pinching back grape
vines and allowing them to grow ram
pant. If by "pinching back" he
means to pinch off the ends of the ted
der vines, we say no. Our custom is
to trim our vines in early spring, after
danger of freezing is past being gov
erned in the amount cut away by the
growth made the last year. If the
growth has been great we cut more ;
if weak, cut less, the aim being to
check excessive tendency to wood
growth, and to divert to fruit growth.
After all the punches of grapes are
set, suckers or young shoots of vines
will start at the union of the leaf with
with the cane or new growth. AS
soon as these shoots or suckers are
two or three inches long, we break them
off from the main, and thus throw the
strength into the fruit and main canes
rather than into the suckers. This oper
ton corresponds to that of rubbing off
suckers or water-sprOuts from apple
trees in the summer time. 1t saves
an immense amount of labor, and i'm
proves the crop. There is no one
thing,On the garden border pays better
than a well-cared-for vine. After
pruning in the spring, there is no cut
ting to be done until the spring fol-
lowing.

Tran.pIanting by Night.

\ gentleman anxious TO ascertain
the effect of transplanting by night
instead of by day, made an expert
ment, with the following results:
He transplanted ten cherry trees
while in bloom, commencing at 4
O'Clock i'm the afternoon. Those trans
planted during daylight shed their
blossoms, produce little or no fruit,
while those transplanted in the dark
maintained their condition fully. He
did the same with ten dwarf trees
after the fruits was One-third grown.
Those transplanted during the day
shed their fruit; those transplanted
during the night perfected the crop
and showed no injury from having
been removed. With each of these
trees he removed some earth with the
roots. The incident is fully vOucbed
for, and il a few similar experiments
produce a like result, it will be a
strong argument to hOrticulturists,
etc, to do such work at night

Some thing Worth Knowing.

Every little while we read in the
papers of some one who has stuck a
rusty nail in his foot or some other
portion of his body, and that lockjaw
resulted therefrom. If every person
was aware of perfect remedy for all
such wounds and would apply it, then
all such reports must cease. But al
though we can give the remedy, we
can't enforce its application. Some
will not employ it because they think
it too simple; others will have no
faith in it when they read it :; while
Others think such a wound of small
account and not worth fussing over,
until it is too late. Yet all such wounds
can be healed without the fatal conse-
quences which follow them. The
remedy is simple, can be applied by
any one, and, what is better, it is in
fallible. 1t is simply to smoke the
wound, or any bruise that is inflamed,
with burning wool or wooden cloth.
Twenty minutes in the smoke of
wool will take the pain out of
the worst wound repeated two or
three times, it will alIay the worst
cases of inflammation arising from a
wound. People may sheer at the cold
mans remedy" as much as they like;
but when they are afflicted, just let
them try it. 1t has saved many lives
and much pain, and is worthy of be-
ing printed in letters of gold and hung
up in every home.

A Remedy for lie IN '-orer.

Besides hunting up the worms and
killing them, the following wash is
recommended by M. B. Bateham OF
gainesville, Ohio, to keep off the
parent moth
For an orchard of say 500 bearing
peach trees, we buy pint of crude
carbolic acid, costing not over IS cents
Tor half as much of the retined), then
take gallon of good soft soap, and
thin it with gallon of hot water, stir
ring in the acid and letting it stand
over night or longer; then add eight
gallons of cold soft water, and stir.
We then have ten gallons of the IL
quid ready for use. Some peach
growers use little more and others
less of the acid. The proportion stat
ed is strong enough, and if much
stronger, would be likely to injure the
tree. The wash should be thoroughly
applied with swab or brush around
the base of each tree, taking pains to
have it enter all crevices.
The parent moths seldom appear be-
fore the hot weather at about the last
of June, and I have never seen one
depositing eggs, in this climate before
the first of July. Hence we find this
the best time to apply the wash, as it
drives off the moths by its oder, and
instantly kills any eggs that may
have been deposited. For the apple
borer apply vhe wash about first of
June. 1t is equally effective for both,
and when made about hall the
strength named, is good wash for
the prevention of mildew on grape
vines and fruit trees, and no dou bt
has some tendancy to prevent blight.

A writer in the New York Bulletin,
whose letters are dated at Albany,
Ga, says: "But almost all farmers
have over-cropped themselves with
the area planted in cotton; and if the
very fine season had continued
which was needed to make Il large
cotton crop-it would have been al
most impossible to have kept the grass
out of the cotton fields. The increased
acreage planted in cotton in this sec
ton is about 10 per cent. There is no
increase of the laboring force Except
the natural growth which is about 4
per cent. per annum) so if the wealth
er had been very seasonable, as it was
up to two weeks since, the cotton crop
would have been badly III the grass.
But as cotton is truly a dry weather
plant, the crop has been greatly bene-
fitted by the drouth, giving all farm
ers time to chop out their cotton, re-
duce it to stand and clear it from the
grass. 1t is generally believed and
conceded that the growing crop
of cotton within a radius of fifty miles
of this place is the best since the war
at this time of year. The crop is on
an average two weeks earlier than
last year, and many fields are three
weeks earlier. One farmer has thirty
acres in cotton three feet high, with Il
good crop already on the stalks and
plenty Of grown bolls. Another one
has one hundred acres fully as large
as his crop was last year by the LIST of
August, when there was burning
drouth from June to July 14-fve
weeks. There are many fields where
the plants are much larger now than
they were last year month later than
this time. One planter has two hun
dred acres that will average two feet
high, with half crop of grown bolls
on the stalks. The cotton crop is
simply splendid, which covers all the
ground. The crop which is now being
closed up will be 100000 bales; add
II per cent. for increased acreage and
prospect of fine crop will
make the growing crop 6,250,00O;
which is. I think about a fair guesS.n

There are not so many thick-and-
thin advocates of deep blowing as
formerly, but many are urging instead
that the subsoil should be stirred, to
make 1t more open to air and moisture.
This seems to be the idea of the Eng
lish correspondent of Bells Messenger
(London), quoted in the Country Gen
tleman of June Sd. | am not sure that
this idea is Il correct one. Where soil
has long been subjected to deep plow-
ing, as in the cultivated fields of Eu-
rope, the subsoil has perhaps become
compact and hardened; but on our
newer land, there are natural water"
ways through the subsoil which let
the surface water escape much more
freely before than after cultivation.
Much of our heavy loamy land did
not need under draining till years
after it had been cleared, and success
sive deep plowings had destroyed these
natural Waterways. 1t is true that
deeply pulverized soil "holds" more
water than when not so pulverized,
IA it holds it in stagnant condition
but damage, rather than benefit to
the crop. The fact that stirring the
subsoil puts it in a more compact
though friable form, is shown every
time ditch or post-hole is dug. The
earth taken out will never fill the eX-
cavation to the original surface. With
out doubt, subsoiling is better for most
soils than deep turning under of the
surface; but unless the land has been
used to deep tilIage, it is best to pro-
coed cautiously, In my opinion, deep
rooted plants las red clover furnish
the best subscribers. Where an occa-
sional seeding of red clover is given a
garden, as there should be, shallow
blowing will answer well, even for
the deep-roted garden vegetables.
Many kinds of plants send their roots
deeper than the plow ever goes. Good
culture of the surface, with manure,
will mellow the subsoil, even if not
cultivated.
