Hints About ManureS.
From the Rural Messenger.

From the Ratrdl Messenger.
Those farmers who are using COM
mercial fertilizers should pus them in
the bottom OF the drill, or in the
vicinity OF the roots Of plants. A
good amount OF moisture isl necessary
to render them effective, and II APP
piled too near the surtacesthe mois'
ture may not be present to make
them effective. Bear this in mind,
and bury concentrated manures
rather deep than Otherwise; and the
better they are mixed with the soil
the better 1t will be for the crops.
1t should not be in punches and
Jumps, bat thoroughly distributed
around the plant. 1t is best to
make a deep drill and then sow the
fertilizer, and follow with a smaller
pillow to mix the fertilizer with the
soil before planting the seed or max
ing the ridge.
Lime, ashes, mari, and ! kindred
manures are as well on or very near
the surface, as the tendency of these
is TO sink lower-but moisture is es-
sential to the effective action of these
also, and during dry year must be
worked into the soil TO be ,of much
advantage that season. The autumn
is the best time to apply manures of
this kind.
Well rotted compost, is when used
best applied in the drill beneath the
plant, or around the seed, if large, as
potatoes, corn, beans, etc. Wetted
compost will insure the termination
, Of good seed in dry time, and late
planted clops should be sure to be
SO treated. For the termination O.
! beets and rapid growth OF corn there
, is nothing better. The force o
rolled compost, as manure, would
, be lost if applied on the surface.
Coarse manures, and heating mate
rails, as stable manuies, are most ad
vantageous, at this time OF the year

Ripening Melons Under Ground.

From the Scientific american
AS it is well known, there are
many plants which thrust their seed
vessels into the ground, where the
seeds are ultimately matured. The
peanut is a good example of plant
which constantly exhibits this phe-
nomenon. Others again develop
flowers and seeds entirely under
ground, while many aquatic plants
ripen their seeds under water. Ac-
cording to the Gardeners Chronicze,
the Persians, who are extensive cul-
tivators OF melons, have the curious
practice of covering this fruit with
earth at certain stage.
Such method is in vogue among
Persians who live in the neighbor-
hood of Tifis, in the Caucasus. Only
the choicest and best keeping variety,
the true Dutma, is grown. 1t is a
long, smooth kind, which attains a
weight of 20 lbs, and will keep til
Christmas. The deeply titled ground
is thrown up into beds foot wide
in Spring, and the seeds are sown in
a drill along the center. Finally the
plants are lett at a great distance
apart, and irrigation is effected
through the channels between the
beds, so that no water touches the
plants. The fruit sets in June, and
only one or two are left on each
shoot. When the fruit has attained
the size of mans fist the earth is
followed out: and the shoot with
the exception of the tip) together
with its fruit, is buried therein to a
depth of one and half inches, where
it remains until the fruit is almost
ripe. Considerable practical expe.
rience is necessary in order to be
able to determine the exact moment
when the melons should be unearthed
When the cultvator thinks that the
time has arrived, he withdraws the
shoot and its fruit from the ground.
This is done toward evening, and the
fruit is left on the surface of the
ground, attached to the shoot, and
exposed to the dew of one night.

reach it. 1t is then hung in cool,

Heretofore, this great industry has
been hopelessly closed against that

small farmers, and open only to par
ties who have large capital TO invest
in broad plantations and costly and
elaborate machinery. Whatever may
have been the advantages of such a
system in the old days of slavery,
it can only be worked at disadvan-
tage with the present defective and
insufficient labor at hand, while It's
very worst feature is that it shuts OFT

Straw Lumber-Its Economy.

We have already, in these columns
made illusions to the new device of
manufacturing lumber from straw
the invention of Mr.. S. III. Hamilton,
of Lawrence, Kansas. Mr.. Hamilton
had worked up quite business, when
short time since his factory was de-
stroyed by fire. He was turning out,
at the time. 10000 feet day and
had orders on hand for about 10000,
900 feet. The Northeastern Linn.
herman, speaking Of this novel manu-
facture, says:
"There can be no question that the
straw lumber is admirably adapted
to many kinds OF finishing work,
barrels, table and counter tops, fine
doors and ornamental work, and we
are assured that it can be produced
and sold in competition with the
finer grades OF pine, or in competition
with wide walnut, or about one-halt
the price OF the latter. The standard
manufacture is in widths Of thirty
two inches, length of twelve feet,
and a thickness corresponding to
that of surfaced boards. These di-
mansions may be varied to suit such
orders as may be given, and embrace
any width, length or thickness. Un'
like lumber, however, narrower
Widths are the most costly. The

long time.
The business OF fruit growing IS
nrecarious, The season for hurrl'
canes is just when the banana plants
are young, and it is not rare thing
for a plantation to be destroyed in a

greatly from storms at times, and are
also injured by the attacks OF a ny,
whose larvae imbed themselves Ill the
rind of the fruit and the bark OF
the trees. The chances OF a good
pineapple crop i'll the Bahamas are
said to be so precarious that some
times the negro planters working
small plantations are reduced to an
exclusive fruit diet, which is as near
as one ever gets to starvation there.

They are not suited to be brought in
contact with the roots of crops unless
there is an abundance OF moisture
present, and therefore should not be
buried in the soil. But on the sur
face they will render an important
service as a mulch to keep the ground
cool and moist, and to arrest the
nitrogen floating in the air. The lit

Sugar Making for Small Farmers

O0' AOA WV ~NAOAN N~''N'A>
Sugar Making for Small Farmers.
From the Nc,c Orleans Tunes.
1t has been suggested by practical
observers of Southern industries that
there is no more reason that the sugar
planter should manufacture the juice
Of his cane into sugar, than that the
cotton planter should be forced to
make his bales of the staple into yarns
and cloths. 1t has not been easy,
plain as this idea may have appeared,
to secure its adoption in practice and
progress in separating the manufac-
ture of sugar from the culture OF the
cane has been slow and difficult.
The idea that the successful culture
of cane could be carried on by people
who did not own the costly and ex
tensive structures and apparatus re-
quired for making sugar, has been so
often and SO promptly rejected by
the planters in our sugar districts
that the promoters of the scheme for
central sugar factories to buy up cane
or manufacture the products OF the
planter on shares night well have
despaired of success. Nevertheless
the efforts made have not fallen
to the ground to be lost, but they
have takenroot and are about to bear
valuable fruits. The following &C.
count of this important movement is
given by the Iberia Sugar Boacl, high
authority in all matters concerning
I4ouisiana's sugar Industries:
We believe the first one who led
off in this work of separating culture
from manufacture was Mr.. Edward
Sillan, Of St, Mary parish. Being
French gentleman, and familiar with
the European central sugar factory
system (where the two branches are
altogether distinctly he commenced
by purchasing cane by the ton, and
in the short space of three years, by
thus encouraging cane production,
surrounded hims elf with most in
dustrious class of white cultivators,
who now furnish nearly as much cane
as he can crush in the regular sugar
season, and he plants no more. In
addition to this, he receives the
syrups from two or three large plant
ers, who deliver it in tanks on fiat
boats, and it isreadily pumped to the
vacuum pan. For the purpose OF con-
venience, he located his new sugar
house Immediately upon the banks OF
the Teche, and, by extending his cane
carrier to the water, cane, which is
brought on fatboats, is put directly
upon the carrier and thus conveyed
J to the mill.
Another purely central sugar fac
tory is now being established at
, Fausse Point, in Iberia parish, and
, will be ready tor work this fall
| Messrs. Childs 81 Martin, the enter
: prising gentlemen who are to erect
t it, have effected arrangements accord
ingly. Messrs. Junius Sampson and
j. Dorvile Broussard, the largest
planters OF that vicinity, have each
. donated twelve acres apiece OF land
