A COMMENDABLE MOVE.

We heartily commend the move of the
United States Department of Agriculture
for its efforts to secure humane treatment
Of animals while in transit over the rail-
roads of the country and while huddled in
stock yards. Certainly there is room for a
great reform in this matter. Mr.. Chas.
w. Dabney acting secretary of the depart
ment has issued the following circular:
ut is the desire Of this department that
the influence of all employees should be
used. SO far as is warranted by the law
for the purpose of securing the humane
treatment of animals in transportation and
in the stock yards. Depriving animals of
food and drink for unusual periods, and
beating and worrying them are practices
calculated to make the animals feverish
and their meat unwholesome, and should
be discountenanced and prevented. You
will, therefore, give such instructions to
your subordinates as will insure careful
treatment of any animals which they may
lead them to use their influence for the
same end with all other persons with
whom they come in contact
''You will please make an investigation
of the manner i'm which animals are trans
ported and handled by the railroad COM
panies and stockyards which come under
your observation. and make such sugges-
tons as may occur to you. with view to
improving the service and protecting ami
mails from undue suffering or cruelty.
Injured animals which are evidently suffer
ing severe pain should be promptly re-
ported to the humane societies, unless the
owner or the stock ward company properly
cares for them within reasonable time"

WEYLER'S LES SON.

The order of General Weyler prohibit
ing the expectation of tobacco from Cuba,
may after all be another of those cases
where hardship and calamity carry a
lesson that counterbalances the apparent
and present disadvantages.
Weyler's object is self-evident. From
the beginning of his administration he has
been annoyed by the sympathy and assist
ance given the insurgents by the Cuban
American citizens of Key West and
Tampa He has said that these towns, es-
pecially the latter, were the hot beds of
the Cuban revolution, that without the
assistance of the people of these cities he
could soon crush the instruction. The
population of Key West and Tampa are
largely cigar makers. and the raw material
they manufacture into cigars comes from
Cuba. Weyler fully understands that

The Ohufa Crop.

"There is no doubt" says Professor
Massey "that the chufa is an excellent
food for growing hogs, and | would give
them decided preference over the arti-
choke for that purpose. The plant is
near relative to the dreaded nut grass,
which gives so much trouble to southern
farmers. Nut grass or COCO is cyperus
rotundus var hydra. The chufa is cy
perus esculentus. Both are members of
the great sedge family. But the chuta
does not seem inclined to become pest
like the nut grass. It's rootlets are borne
close to the plant and near the surface,
and are easily gotten out, either by the
hogs, or harvested by hand But [
would take with large allowance the
statement in the circular from the Mis-
sissippi party, who says he makes 400
to 500 bushels per acre. I have known
of 100 or more bushels per acre in South
Carolina, but would say that even this
is large crop, and it takes rich land to
make it. Chufas are being largely
grown by the farmers of eastern North
Carolina for hog food. The rich lands
in some parts of Mississippi may grow
somewhere near the crops stated in the
circular, but they cannot be grown here
to that extent. I think they have been
advertised lately in the P. F. by Mr.. T.
B. Parker, of Goldsboro, n. G. l would
advise our cores pondent to experiment
with them. They Will keep hogs grow
ing and in fine order, but the fat must
be hardened with corn. They need rich
light land, and are very exhaustive

A Valuable Book.

american grape growing and wine
Making" by George Husmann; new and
entirely revised edition, published by
the Orange Judd Company, New York
city.
So great have been the Improvements
in the way of new varieties in pruning
and training, in marketing and in COM
batting insects and fungi injurious to
the grape, that after period of barely
a dozen years, since the last edition of
this work appeared, it was found neces-
sary to entirely revise and largely re-
write it in order to keep abreast with
the times.
This new edition is practically almost
an entirely new work. The complete
management of the grape in the garden
as we'll as in the most extensive vine
yards, from the planting of the vine to
the harvesting of the fruit, is given in
detail, according to what are now con-
sidered the best methods. AS the vast
extent Of our county and it's varying
conditions of soil and climate make it
impossible to give directions suitable
for all sections, the author has called to
his aid the most prominent authorities
and most experienced vineyardists in all
the various grape districts of the United
States.
The second part of the work is entirely
devoted to these locality reports. which
are of inestimable value to the grape grow
e1s living within the respective areas.
The chapters on wine making form a
complete manual in themselves, describ-
ing all the various details of this steady
increasing industry. AS the author is
one Of the most experienced wine makers
in America and a recognized uthority
on the subject, this part alone makes the
volume indispensable to all engaged in
this industry.
In order to make the work national
in it's scope, considerable part is
devoted to grape growing and wine

without the raw material with which to
work, the industries of these towns will be
paralyzed and the Cuban sympathizers
placed in a position in which they can
not give assistance to their people who are
fighting for Cuba libre.
But as to the lesson. 1t is evident that
Florida. if she wishes to maintain her
supremacy as cigar manufacturing CEN
ter, must not be dependent upon the capri
ces of Spanish governor-general. She
must place herself in position of lndepen-
dence. We trust, of course that the bloody
revolution now agitating the Queen of the
Antilles will soon come to an end, and that
hereafter no Spanish governor will be in a
position to say anything about the exporta-
ton of tobacco or anything else from
Cuba, but at the same time we cannot
afford to take chances.
1t has often been asserted that Florida
can produce cigar tobacco that will approx
innate in utility the article grown in Cuba.
If this is true, Weyler's order will only en-
barrass US temporarily. We will do in the
case of tobacco what we have done with
other crops when the necessity forced us to
it. When the orange groves were frozen
the people of Florida were of the opinion
that the business of cultivating general
crops was extremely uncertain and hazar-
dous, from financial standpoint, but as
there was 10 other resource they went to
work, and the results were in every sense
and these results will be
better and better as we gain experience.
The same will be true of tobacco. If Gen
eral Weyler says we cannot have Cuban
we will grow Cuban tobacco in
Florida, and snap our fingers at the
butcher"
In the southern section of the state there
has been quite an extensive area planted
in tobacco this year, but it is largely on
an experimental basis. If these expert
ments prove encouraging and the Spanish
generals proclamation holds, the acreage
will be vastly increased next year. In the
meantime the nervy experimenters who are
cultivating tobacco this year will reap
rich reward and one we'll deserved, as they
will have the only Cuban tobacco in the
United States, and will be in position to
name their price for it.

the author has made speciality for the

review Of this work 1t will be seen that 1t

of the other works on this subject.

Where the Value Lies

Wnero Ln0 value Lies
| The great vale to the soil in a crop of
peas comes from the fixation in the soil
of nitrogen by means of the root nodules
and their inhabitants, the nitric ferment
plants. AS to the curing Of peavine hay,
I would like to add a word. Do not
leave it in the field too long and let the
greater part of the curing be done in the
shock.
Rake the vines up into winrows as
soon as fairly wllted, and put them in
tall sharp shocks. Next day after the
dew is off open the shocks and turn
them. The next day haul them in and
store while still rather limp in tight
barn, and keep the air from them till
cured. They will get quite hot, but do
not get scared. If you go to opening the
mass for the purpose Of cooling it, the
hay will mold, but if you let it alone
and keep the barn tight the hay will
cure in fine order. But let us drop for
ever the term "green manurlng" with
peas or any other plant in the south.
After your land is in fairly good heart,
and has some store Of vegetable matter
it is never good farm economy to bury
in the land a crop that can be prof1tably
fed to stock, and in no case, as Mr..
Blockhead says, should the crop be
plowed under till m ture He is right,
too, in saying that the place for the fer
tilizers is in connection with the pea
crop, and not on the sale of crops direct.
Good farming does not consist in piling
on fertilizers for the mere purpose of
getting crop to sell off the land but
in using the fertilizers where they will
tend to accumulate fertility in the soil.
am glad to see farmers beginning to
discuss the recuperative crops in such a
sensible way as is done by the one who
wants US to think him a blockhead. |
wish we had thousands more Of such
blockheads, and that they could get some
of the real blockheads who imagine that
they "know it alp to read agricultural
papers and attend farmers institutes.
In travelling about our state, holding
Institutes, the most Encouraging feature
is the small attendance that we can get
out to these meetings in most places,
and the most perplexing problem to
those who are trying to build our agri-
culture is how to get at the men who
will not read nor come to discussions of
49,
csted. Perhaps the improvement will
come after awhile by the better educa-
tiOn of the youth in the public schools
and agricultural colleges, and the dying
out of the men who do not feel that
there is anything for them to learn. w.
