Where the Fertility Goes.

In ton Of timothy hay there are
80 pounds nitrogen, worth $4.SO, Az
pounds of potash, worth 81, and II
pounds phosphOric acid, worth Sl.2l;
total value in one ton of hay in these
elements 1892. This $7.92 is what
this ton of hay would be worth on the
farm for manure, provided it should
become necessary to buy commercial
fertilizers, such as bone dust, super
phosphate, etc, to keep up the fer
tilitv OF the farm. If the farmer
sold $500 worth of hay at $3.50 per
ton, 40 tons, he would sell in nitro
gen, potash and phOsphoric acid
that which he could not get
back for less than $316; $500
worth of clover hay, at $40 per ton,
would remove the same elements to
the value of 1856; $500 worth of corn,
$3.50; $500 worth of wheat at 81 per
bushel, $12j; $500 of wool, $50; $500
of milk and butter. S3S; $500 of fruits,
much less than either; $500 of cotton
and tobacco, more than any two of the
others.
Now, could we feed this hay and
grain on the farm in the production Of
milk and butter and wool and meat,
and get enough in the products to pay
for the hay and grain, we would retain
between 50 and so per cent. of these
fertilizing elements on the farm, as
only about 10 per cent. of these ele-
ments are appropriated by the animals.
So that if we pastured sheep in the
summer and fed the hay in winter, and
sold wool and mutton to the value
of $500, we would remove from the
farm only $50 worth of these essential
fertilizing elements, and the tendency
to impoverishment of soil would be
very little. We would tend to i'm
poverishment of land seven times
faster by selling $500 worth of clover
hay, six times faster by selling timO-
thy, 81 times by selling corn, 2!
times by selling wheat, and, estimat
ing roughly, more than 10 times by
selling tobacco and cotton, and only
three-fourths times as fast by selling
milk and butter, and even less by sell
inc fruits.

THE WRITING OF WRITER'S.

WASHING ION wrote firm, dignlted, man
ly hand; Cromwell a large, bold and steady
hand; Her ryVTII. Il strong and determined
hand. whi.c that of Charles II. was a run

BEFORE Queen Elizabeth ascendcd the
throne her handwriting was clear, regular
and beautiful A melancholy change tooh
place after she became Queen. Tho letters
grew thin and spiteful, the lines irregular
a cross old maids copy of her former hand.
Mary Queen Of Scots wrote graceful, fem
mine hand, indicating sweetness and noblI-
ity. Queen Victorias signature is vel
formed, each letter being carefully written
SOME handwlftings are areunpardonably bad
Among these may be mentioned that Of
Fennimore Cooper. 1t looks as if written
with stick instead Of Il pen; that of Rev
erdy Johnson, which was an illCgible, i'll
formed scratch; that Of Horace Greeley,
which was absolutely unrcadable. James
Hogg, the Etuick shepherd, wrote like one
more familiar with the shears than with
.he pen; Charles Dickens wrote very poor
hand.
Mrs. NORTON wrote a beautiful and high
ly characteristic hand; Charlotte Bronte' s
writing, though small. was extremely neat
ard legible; Mrs. Heman5 wrote graceful,
running hand Mrs. E. Lynn LyntoA writes
the best hand of any living female writer,
Patti writes aiinc, legible and very attract
i've hand, while that of Augusta j. Evans Il
bold, strong and masculine; the Southern
novelist, Christian Reid, writes hand
which blends feminine grace and manly
strength.
Poe wrote an exceedingly beautiful hand,
and was pronounced "thc first Of gcniuscs
who had written lcgbly." n. ?. Willis
wrote a very dashing hand; Leigh Hunt
graceful one; Gray, Tom Moore and Bu'

his early manhood by copying law papers
Paul II. Haync wrote a vcr.J dainty hand
with many quaint and curious little Hour
iShcs.
CHESTERFIELD, who wrote most grace
full hand, declared that "cVery man who
has the use of his eyes and his right hand
can write whatever hand he pleased" This
is going little too far. If Byron, Wht
had "tna uso Of his eyes and his right
hand" could have written "Whatevcr hant

COCAINE'S Rival.
A Powerful New An@sthetic at Present
known as Stenocarpin.

DIR. J. Herbert Claiborne, Jr., OF New
York City, has written an Interesting ac
count for the Nedical Record Of q neWly-dlS
covered alkaloid, with which he has beer
experimenting and whose therapeutic value
as a local anastehtic he concludes will not
be inconsdcrable, especially in eye diseases
His own researches have been confined to
its effects on the mucous surfaces OF the
eve and nose, but he thinks it may fairly be
reckoned as rival of cocaine, and feels
safe IL predicting for it . wide field Of use
fulnoss in all departments of surgery where
local anGsthcsia is desired.
The new drugis derived from the leaves
of tree very much resembling the acacia
steaocarapo, and known in Louisiana as the
'tcar-blankct trce.o
The discovery of the drug was due TO an
accident. Mr. Goodman veterinary
surgeon, while travelling through West
Feliciana Parish, La, had occasion to apply
poultice to . swelling on the fetlock of
one of his horses. He used the first leaves
that came to hand, saturated with hot
water. After making a free incison in the
swelling he was surprised to find that the
horse evincod not the slightest feeling
OF pain.
The leaves were afterward analy2ed and
found to contain an alllaloid to which
anpsthr &c properties were found to be
due .ae new drug is at present known as
stenOcarp.n.

Hon. Warren Brown president Of

that "ensilage of corn is simply a

preserving and storing corn for future

"A good COW should produce pound

Tenn, which a few years ago were do

not only valuable for the timber there,

of fertile farms have been made Of
land which the preceding generations
said would not 'sprOut pears"
If hogs are given variety of green
food, with but little grain, in summer,
they will keep in excellent health, and
be in proper condition for fattening in
the fall. Less food is required now,
and it is not beneficial to have the hogs
fat at this season except to be in good
condition, as many diseases are due TO
the system of heavy feeding during
warm weather

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Spanish Peanut.

THE notable fact of pitching crops
in Georgia this year." said Commits
sioner Henderson, lis the marvellous
increase in the acreage of Spanish pea
nuts. This is comparatively new
crop in Georgia. 1t has increased every
year for five years. This season many
correspondents report an increase OF
300 per cent. in their counties in the
acreage of Spanish peanuts and large
number report an increase of from 100
to 2j0 per cent"
"You regard this as Important"
81 do. 1t means that in two or three
years Georgia will raise every pound
of meat she consumes. The hog and
the Spanish peanut 90 together. have
raised 1875 bushels on single acre,
and the very poorest land gave me from
80 to 100 bushels per acre. The hog
is very fond of the peanut, and it is
fattening food. A farmer can get
four times as much meat-producing
food from an acre in peanuts as he can
from an acre in corn. He can turn a
drove of fifty or 100 hogs in a field and
let them root the peanuts up until they
are fattened and ready to kill, and
he will find next season an abundant
crop of peanuts from the same field
without replanting."
Cant the peanuts be grown as peas
are grown, in a cOrnfold?"
"Of course An ordinary farmer may
raise from fifteen to twenty acres, and
by planting peanuts on land that will
not grow any thing else, and by drop
ping them with his corn in the corn
field can raise and fatten on
peanuts, without dollars eX-
ira cost, every pound OF
meat that he needs for his farm. The
plant of the peanut makes splendid
forage, and rich and nutritious hay
You will see next year, as q result OF
the vastly increased acreage in pea
nuts, a marked increase in hOme-ralsed
meat, and | believe in three years
Georgia will raise more bacon than
she can consume"
"What does the department consider
the best hog for the Georgia farm"
"On my own plantation | always
thought the Essex was the best hog,
butI am of the opinion that, for gener-
al use, the Berkshire is as good or bet
ter. The Essex or Berkshire boar
crossed on our native sows, makes a
handsome and hearty hog. Georgia
will save millions of dollars when she
raises her own meats, and the peanut
leads the way to the pig"
"What are the farmers doing this
| year?"
"Hhey are using $4,000 tons of
guano against 100000 for the biggest
year heretofore. This is an increase
of 81, 900 tons, or nearly 20 per cent.
The acreage has increased very little,
so that what is cultivated will have
more guano than ever before. As for
crops, up to June 1 the seasons were
not favorable for cotton, but since that
time the weather has been favorable,
and the crop looks better now, and |
hear but few complaints. Corn is un-
precedentedly fine, and the outlook is
for prosperous year"

great delight in chewing the
slender and delicate stem or stalk OF
the plant, breaking it off just above
the ground, and you will find them
hidden under the leaves or in the
ground near the base of the stalk, and
unless they are taken IN hand early

damage to your crop-damage that can
not be remedied. If the worming is
done thoroughly and frequently during
the early stages of the growth you will
have little trouble from this source
later on, for the second crop
that comes later and cut
the leaves, will not be numerous
enough to do any great damage. Then
in worm hunting" early remember
that you are destroying a second

of worms a good many careful plant

CHINESE TORTURES
How Celestial Suspects Are Compelled to
Testify or Die.

How Celestial Suspects Are Compelled to
Testify or Die.
+ All examinations of parties in China
charged with the higher crimes are by
torture A confession OF the crime
will not prevent the torture, as it is
applied to extort the names of sup
posed accomplices and confessions of
other probable or possible crimes
These -tortures consist of beating be-
tween the shoulders with the bamboo;
beating the mouth with two thick
pieces of sole leather. Those are fas-
tened together at one end. These
pieces of leather bring blood from the
lips, and even loosen the teeth and
cause such swelling as to prevent the
prisoner from eating or speaking for
days! These tortures being ineffective,
the ankle-bones are beaten with sticks
of hard wood. The prisoner is COM
peeled to kneel upon broken pieces of
stone or crockery, the fingers and ankle
bones are squeezed between sharp
edges of pieces of wood he is
suspended by the thumbs or
big toes; the bare arms and legs
are encircled with copper snakes filled
with hot water, and an indefinite num-
ber of such horrors are applied. If one
days torture fails to extract confess
sion of guilt, or if the person faints
from exhaustion without confession, he
may be brought to the torture again as
soon as he has recovered sufficiently.
If he is innocent and prefers death to
dishonor for himself and family he will
be tortured to death. In the great
majority of cases the accused prefers
dishonor and even death by swift
means to the varying and agonizing
tOrtures.
1t is not only the suspected party who
is liable to torture. When the suspect
has escaped his nearest relatives are
arrested, and tortured to make them
reveal the suspects whereabouts. I'm
prisOnment, either before or after con-
viction, is continued and indescribable
horror. The cells are so small as to
cramp the poor prisoner, the floors are
of brick or stone and wet, there is little
light and no ventilation, the vcrmin
and filth are beyond portrayal, anI tie
food is so scanty and bad as to produce
slow starvation and, if the impris0i-
ment is continued long enough, linge-
ing death CHICAGO Ne1Os.

SotaI and Prickly Pear.

The value of sOtal as stock food has
often been referred to in these columns.
That it is almost uneXceled for cattle
and sheep is now beyond question, but
Mr.. Wm. Landrum has put it to further
use and given it wider scope. For an
experiment he put up two lots OF hogs,
one of which he fed on priclIly pear and
meal. and the other on priclkly pear and
steamed sotal. At the end of six weeks
the difference in condition was so great
lv in favor of the latter feed, that Mr..
Landrum is fully convinced of its value,
and intends to 60 into the hog-feeding
business extensively The sotal and
prickly pear cost nothing, but the
gathering where it covers the ground,
This undoubtedly will prove a success
in every way where carried on sys-
tematically. .-TeraS L. s. Journal
