SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

We have already pointed out
in these columns tho ez;raordi-
nary advance the South has
made in recent years in the cu'-
,ure and manufacture OF cotton,
tie iron industry, the production
OF wool. the building OF railroads,
etc. There IS every indication
that this progress, which has
been general, will continue. l.
has already been demonstrated
what in fact needed no demon
stra'iou, that the coarser grades
of cotton goods can be made
cheaper in factories near the
field tb an in distant mills. Hence
Southern cotton mills are rapidly
increasing in number and capac-
ity, and from making the coal. Or
grades Southern manufacturers
must in time advance 10 the max
ing of the finer goods, though
perhaps not the finest. The
chief obstacle to the production
Of wool in the South has been the
cost OF feeding the sheep: But
there is every prospect that this
difficulty will be overcome BY the
conversion into nutritious food
of what has heretofore been
waste in the cotton plant. The
machinery for this purpose has
already been perfecte ], and when
this, with ensilage, shall come
into general use, there will be nc
reason why Southern fields
should not be dotted with focke
of sheep. Nor do we see why
Southern hillsides should not be
covered with vineyards and tht
South become wiz reproducing
country. According to q repor
just made on grape culture in th'
United States, Georgia and Mis-
souri, rank next after California
and Ohio in the production o
vine, and other Southern State
are we'll up in the list. Anothe
great advantage that recent year
have brought to the South is tn
significant transportation OF &C
reals that has sprung up on th
Mississippi river. Grain is no
carried from st. Lonis to Me-
Orleans at less than one-thlr
Of the cost OF transportation flo'
Chicago to New York. As it ca
be landed in Liverpool from th
~ West for less money by way
the Gulf than by way of the Eas
n ern seaboard it will not be SUI
prising to find it going by th
Southern route in rapidly il
creasingquantities, unless Nortl
err transportation lines solve II

great traffic from passing out

ASHES As CATTLE FEED.-The Maine
Farmer says: One of our substantial
subscribers, in a recent conversation,
gave his experience in treating neat
stock affected with the habit of eating
wood, chewing bones, etc. His cattle
were one Spring affected in this way;
they became thin in flesh, refused to eat
hay, and presented sickly appearance:
He put about four bushels of leached
ashes in his barn-yard and threw out to
them about a shovelful each day. They
all ate them with evident relish. After
turning them out to pasture he put one
peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate it all
up and gnawed of the grass where 1t
was lying. The cattle began to improve,
gaining flesh and looked better than
they had for several years. He now
gives one quart Of ashes mixed with the
same quantity of salt, to twelve head
of cattle week and finds it to agree
with them wonderfully.

Sheep on the Farm.

That sheep can save poor farms from
utter ruin, and improve the condition
of good farms, is beyond doubt. How
ever much we may prize the horse and
COW for valuable services to mankind,
still we must admit that the keeping of
sheep is very profitable to the farmer,
in that it brings money to his pocket
and improves the condition of his land.
Experience has shown that sheep hus-
bandry is directly profitable. There are
no losses and very few risks to be met
with in the business. Early lambs, fat
wethers, wool and pelts, always bring
good prices and find ready market.
Besides sheep brings up the condition
of the farm, and as the old adage has it,
''turns the earth to gold wherever their
foot prints are found" Nothing will
improve farm so well as a course of
husbandry in sheep, well selected and
iudiciously followed. Sheep can be
made the salvation of poor farm, and
if more of our farmers would keep
more sheep, a larger share of prosperity
would be the result.-Ex.

Defective Cotton Seed.

As a rule, no very large amount OF
cotton seed is kept through the winter
in the cotton States, the only consider
able demand for sead, except for plant
ING, being from the cottOn-seed oil COM
panies, and those using up most of what
they crush in the fall and winter.
This year, to be sure, the oil COM
panies will continue their operations
later than usual, owing to the extraor-
dinarily late character of the cotton sea
son, and some of the companies that
shut down in the early part of January
for lack of seed from the January pick
ing: but this late-gathered seed is as a
rule If exceeding poor quality. In fact,
for planting purposes this seed would
be worse than useless.
Besides the wholesale retardation of
planting through waiting for the germi-
nation Of one bach of seed, and then
perhaps being obliged to SOW another
lot. good deal of loss is occasioned by
the fact that under the present system
planters have so little confidence in the
quality Of the seed they use that they
sow three or four times as much gener-
ally as is really needful.
The excellent practice of testing the
seed just before planting time is made
use Of in some parts of Georgia. The
quality may be very readily determined
by counting out one or two hundred
seed and planting them evenly in a
shallow box of mellow soil, and after
watering the box with warm water, set
it in light warm place. In few days
the seed will terminate, when they
may be counted, and if only seventy
five or eighty out of the hundred come
up, it will show that the quality is
sufficiently good TO justify the use only
of bushel to the acre on any but very
stiff layev soil. On land of the latter
character, or on any land very poorly
prepared, it may be safe to use bushel
and half, and over this is never neces-
sary if the seed are of good quality.
Three to five bushels of seed were all
well enough, perhaps, when a planter
wanted to insure a perfect stand" OF
three stalks in the hill, and hills nine
inches apart, but now, when intelligent
and progressive farmers are getting tC
see that not over 1000 stalks are de
sirable, and that in most cases 5000 are
better, they find bushel of seed amply
sufficient When drilled this il
enough, and when the land is checked
half this quantity will insure a perfect
stand.
