Green Forage.

Sorghum, cat-tail and German millet
may all be sown at any time during he
month of June. Well-prepared land is
essential to a good stand, and fertiliza-
tiou to a paying crop. The first two are
best planted in drills about four feet
apart, which will require four or five
pounds of seed to the acre; while the last
may be sown broadcast at the rate or
about half bushel of seed to the acre.
Sorghum, like fOdder-corn, should be cut
in the bloom, or. at furthest, when the
grain is in the milk. Cat-tail or pearl
millet as the heads begin to form, and the
German miliet when the grain is half
grown. An acre OF good sorghum will
forage two horses all winter; cat-tail mil
let four If planted early and cut two or
three times; and German millet one
horse. All three may be greatly in
creased in quantity per acre by increased
fertilization of the soil, sorghum, how
ever, in much greater proportion than
German milIet; while the pearl millet is
limited only in its yield by the quantity
and strength of the manure applied.

vitality is very doubtful fold.
SCOT Is an excellent starter for corn,
as il is rich in nitrogen. lt is a substance

GOV. COLQUTrT AT sTARKvILhE.
Address Before the Mechanical and Ag-
ricuItural College OF Mississippi.

AuuFess betobo eno hAecnanAcai ana Ag-
rieulturaI College OF Mississippi.
From the Neso Orleans Pioayuase.
STARKvLLE, MISS, June 17.-Fully
1000 people filled the assembly house of
the Agricultural and Mechanical College
this morning to hear the address of ex-
Gov. A. II. Colquitt, of Georgia, to the
graduating class.
After fervent prayer by Rev. Mr..
Cameron, Gov. Lowry introduced the ora
tor Of the day. The latter announced no
set subject, but for more than an hour
held the minds and hearts Of his hearers,
pouring out upon them in floods of elo-
quence practical thoughts and sugges-
tions and patriotic sentiments.
He spoke of the old South, the old peO-
pie and the old times. Then of the new
South and the possibilities of it resources
yet to De developed, and that could only
be developed, utilized and made profit
able by the education Of her sous in those
sciences and arts that relate directly to
those resources. Agricultural and me-
chanical colleges can supply this educa-
tion. He ADVISED the young men to stick
to the farm and not to seek homes and
employment in the cities. The country
pays tribute TO the cities and towns, and
when IL can no longer do that by reason
of wornOut lands and unskilifuI farming
the wreck will come, burying all In
one common gulf of destruction. He
ridicufed the idea of OverpFOductiOn.
No injury came to the agriculturist
from that cause, but rather from
mOnOpOlies and high tariff, selling has
products where prices were cheapest
and buying necessaries where prices were
highest. He advised the young men to
keep out Of debt, to be industrious and TO
practice economy, 30 marry industrious
women, and above all 10 cherish and de-
fend the good name OF the South. Brand
as false the statements found in the hter-
ature aud press of other sections that the
men and women of the South are lacking
in any OF the virtues and essentials that
90 TO make up the perfect man and VIC
man, the upright citizen and patriot. The
South had nothing to be ashamed Of. lie
was proud OF her history and achieve
ments, proud of her past, hopeful for her
future. He loved the whole country, but
the South more than all else. In conelu-
sion he said let US remember the bounty
Of the Great GiVer.

A table giving the price OF gas in 95 of
the principal cities of the United States
shows total range in price of from 90
cents TO 81 per 1000 feet. The lowest
price rs in Wilkesharre, Pa, and Wheel

gions, and the highest rules in Galveston

A brick being about as porous as n
lump of sugar and having six sides, it
needs careful filling for water-tight work
IN cesspools, ETC., and a thin grout or por-
ridge OF cement is commonly used. Heat
ing the brick and soaking beforehand in
thick coal tar has been recommended. A
man may lay common wall all his life
without learning how to make brick water
tight.
Prof. Crudell, noted Eastern scien-
tist, lays claim 10 having discovered an
antidote for malaria. He advises that a
decoction OF lemon be made as follows:
Cut up one lemon, peel and all, into thin
slices, put it into three glassiuIs Of water
and boil u down to one glassful. Strain
the liquid through linen, squeezing thor
oughly the remains Of boiled lemon, and
set it aside to cool. Drink the whole
amount when fasting.
When paraftine is thoroughly mixed
with linseed oil, cast into small blocks and
allowed TO cool, IL may be used 10 make
any fabric, as cloth, felt and leather,

Rheen, of the Smithsonian institute, has
contradicted much of the popular belief
concerning snakes. The venOmOus hoop
snake, which takes its tail in its mouth
and rolls along like a hoop, and the blow
snake, the breath of which is deadly, eX-
ist only in the imagination. The Idea that
serpents sting with the tongue Is errone-
Gus. An impression prevails that the
number Of poisonous snakes is great, but
in North America there are but three
species-the rattlesnake, the cOpperhead
or mOccasin, and the coral. Snakes do not
jump; they reach suddenly forward, per-
haps half the length Of their bodies.

Money Value Of Manures.

1t is scarcely necessary to remind farm
ers that the value OF animal manures de-
peuds upon the kind of food upon which
the animals are fed, and yet very many
proceed, apparently, without any regard
to these differences. Straw, husks, leaves
and old corn fodder allowed to turn yell
low before stripped and cured, present
about the lowest order OF forage and Weld
the poorest manure. 1t is considered to
be worth not more than 81 or SO per ton;
while that from ton of clover hay is es-
timated at $13; from ton Of bran Sl4:a
ton Of linseed oil cake $23 and from ton
OF cotton-seed meal $29. These estimates
show the advantages to be gained to the
manure heap by the selection of food and
it must not be forgotten that another
great advantage from rich food is superior
milk and butter, both in quality and
quantity. Finer cattle are also the result
of fine feeding, while less time is required
TO rear animals; thus economizing all
around while insuring superior cattle
upon the farm.
These tests have often been made both
in this country and in Europe, but have
attracted little attention among farmers
generally in the South, and we believe
that, when our farmers, as a rule, give
heed and put in practice these well-inves-
tlgated methods of feeding, the question
as to how we shall most economically i'm
prove our stock, increase our milk and
butter supply, and raise our manure value
to the highest practicable grade, will have
been solved.

writer on the subject has found out
that while clay soils are in general con-
sidefed better than sandy soils, the lack
Of strength in the surface of the latter is
compensated for IN its penetrability. The
fact appears that while the rOotsof plants
penetrate to the depth of twelve to twenty
inches IN clay soil, they actually occupy
from three to eight feet of the sandy soil.
This should be encouraging to our sandy
land farmers, seeing that they can make
up in depth what they lack in surface
strength.
