SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Field Products of South Carolina.

At the nineteenth annual fair of the
South Carolina and Agricultural So
ciety, besides the fine display of field
and dairy animals, the agricultural ex-
hibits were attractive and numerous.
Golden grain. mammoth pumpkins,
weighing 100 pounds; cotton stalks,
white with their royal fruit; grasses,
rich. heavy-headed rice stalks; over
grown sweet potatoes. milk-white Irish
potatoes. and peas. all meet the eye of
the visitor to agricultural hall. The
seasons have been favorable the past
year. The cotton crop of the State
exceeds in amount by 5000 bales.
and in value by over 50 900. 900. the
crop of 1886. The farmers for years
have been striving to improva this
crop so as to increase the strength and
length of fiber without losing the pro-
portion of lint TO seed cotton, and,
if possible, increase this proportion.
1t has usually been considered good
outturn if every three pounds of cot
ton. rs it comes from the boil, one
pound of lint cotton, such rs goes to
market, was obtained, the remaining
two-thirds being seed. Several varie-
ties We're exhibited that it is claimed
have accomplished the object so long
striven for. One variety is said to
give yield of 40 per cent. lint, and
this claim is substantiated by practical
farmers who have. experimental with
it for several years. The value of this
improvement in the staple will be APP
prcc:ated when it is stated that,
if the entire crop of the Safe had
given such a return, the total
value of the crop in the increased
yield OF lint alone, excluding the high
or price that this variety readily
brings, would have been about 81, 900, =
600. One of the heaviest expenses of
the cotton crop is the picking, and it
will be seen that an enormous amount
would be saved to the planter every
year in this item alone if 40 per cent.
instead of $50 per cent. of the amount
harvested was lint cotton.
The corn crop will doubtless exceed
in amount the yield of any previous
crop in the history of the State. 1t is
estimated at II. 900, 900 bushels, and it
would have reached much larger
figure than this but for the destruction
of large area of this crop on river
bottoms. The specimens on exhibi-
ton would contrast favorably with
the products of that section of our
country known as the "granary of the
world" All the specimens of the
various horticultural and agricultural
departments were creditable, and
showed that satisfactory progress has
been made this year on the farm all
along the line.
The State Department of Agricult-
ure estimates the value of agricultural
productions this year at about S46,-
600, 600, or some S.. 900, 900 in excess
of the crop of 1880. and about 49, OOO.-
900 in excess of the crop of last year.
All the popular breeds of poultry
were on exhibition. Much attention
is given to poultry raising it the State.

On Grasses.

1t is fact easily proven that COM
paratively few planters in the Cotton
Belt place the proper valuation on the
various grass crops both for hay and
pasturage. If one wishes the proof of
the above assertion. let him take the
trouble to examine the Board of Trade
hay receipts of Memphis, New Orleans
and other Southern cities, and he will
be surprised at the enormous amount
of hard-carned cash expended every
season for hay to feed mules while
working the cotton crop. No one
sight surprises Western man
while visiting any of our Southern
cities. more than to see a country team
hauling bales of hay out of the cities
for home consumption, and the impress
sion is at once made on him that every
thing except cotton as q product of
the soil is a failure. How erroneous
is that impression when at every ex-
position throughout the land where
Arkansas has made an exhibit of her
products is to be seen as fine specimen
of grasses and clover as are produced
in any of the older S ates. This being
the case, why is it so few cotton plant
ers have a good Meadow This query
is easily answered. First, lack of pa.
thence in the development of the
grass crop compared with the
cereals. corn, Cotton, etc. Second,
the almost universal mistake of select
ing portion of the farm for grasses
that has been turned out as too poor
for profitable cultivation in cotton.
Third, y want of knowledge of the
best varieties of grasses best suited to
the lands to be sown, and fourth, bv
almost universal con sent, seeding the
lands with about one half the proper
quantity to insure a good stand.
Study well the character of the soil.
then familiarize yourself, brother
farmer, with the different varieties of
grasses and let your seeding be
done intelligently. Grasses, such
as orchard grass and timothy, ETC.,
which grow in tussocks or lunches,
should generally be sown with some
spreading kinds, such as red top, blue
grass. English rye grass, meadow oat
grass, etc. that the land may be en-
tirely covered, thereby protecting the
roots OF the tussocks. Put only those
varieties on the same land as will ma
ture together, that the hay may be ripe
at one time. On upland, none thrive
better than red clover and orchard
grass together. and on low lands.

Aduiteratrd Milk

A Moline paper is urging upon the
council of that city the necessity of the
passage of an ordinance providing a Sc
we're penalty for any milkman who sells
adulteraied milk or uses improper feed
for his cattle, and says that this being a
staple article. and necessity with all,
the public have right to demand some
protection, and expect the council to
provide it. The paper further remarks:
DR.. Piper, who analysed the milk, in
conversation with a representative of this
paper. says the mlkmen should not be
permitted TO feed glucose or malt. There
is nothing left in it but the glue and
hnsks when it leaves the brewery, and
this is the kind of feed given by nearly
all the dairymen to the cattle which pro-
duces our milk. DR.. Piper holds that this
will cause cholera infantum among the
little children.
Wonder if Moline has not champion
who would come to the rescue of milk,
mems union about that time and place an
injunction on the council for daring
even in the interest of public health-to
interfere with the kind of milk sold
there, just as the butchers champion
came forth in Rock Island and blocked
the endeavors of this city in the interest
of wholesome and healthy food.

A HORSE THIEF NAILED.
Charles q rern Arrested in Moline
While Trying TO Dispose of st0ien
Property. and Taken TO Davenport.

Officer Geisberger, of the Moline police
force, made great catch in that city
Yesterday. The prisoner is Charlie s
Green, the man in whose buggy Dave
Neal, the Cedar Rapids bigamist, brought
the girl, Emma Fitch, to this section
about month ago. The charge on
which Green was arrested was horse
stealing. Last week Green left piano
box buggy at a blacksmith shop in Mo-
line and ordered that it be fixed up in
good shape. Yesterday afternoon he
called to get the buggy and instead of
taking it away made proposition to sell
1t to the blacksmith for $25. The low
price at which it was offered aroused the
suspicion of the blacksmith, who made
preparations to have Green arrested.
Green started to run. but Officer Geisber-
ger. was soon on his heels and was not
long in capturing him The prisoner
was conveyed Immediately to Davenport,
the stolen property following short dis
lance behind in possession of two off,
GERS. The haste in getting the prisoner
to Davenport WAS TO avoid the delay and
trouble of procuring a requisition.
Last week in Moline, Green seemed
anxious to dispose of fifteen wear old
gray geldng which he claimed to own.
He was offered S15, which he agreed to
accept on condition that he be allowed the
privilege of redeeming the horse for that
amount within a few days, when he ex,
pected to have more money. The Moline
man took the horse, in whose possession
1t was found yesterday by the police.
The horse answered the description o f
one which had been stolen a few weeks
previously from Mr. Halett, of Marion.
