George W. Hastings in T:mes-union.
In a later issue of the Times-Union DR..
George Troup Maxwell writes:
| read with interest what Mr.. Hastings
said about what he calls, The Florida
clover or beggar weed" and am prepared
to warmly indOrSe everything he says as
a green forage andfert ilzer; but cannot
approve his recommendation yet as hay
plant.
Perhaps the first experiment ever made
of beggar weed for hay was mine in 1853.
1t grew on my plantation in Leon county
in great profusion and luXuriance, and
when in full bloom / had large quality
cut, dried, tied into sheaves and piled in
ricks. ! soon discovered that as soon as
dry every leaf fell on the slightest hand
ling, leaving only the stalks. This, If am
not misinfOrmed, has been the experience
of everyone who has tried to make hay of
beggar weed.
All that Mr.. Hastings says of beggar
weed as a fertilizer, of the fondness of
all plantation stock for it as food, and of
its marvellous nutritious properties, istrue.
II will be consumed both green and dry,
by such animals in preference to any
other forage. and strange fact they pre-
fer ii even in a decaying condition to the
best OF hay or corn fodder.
On Aug. %, 1853, there was a terrific cy-
clone which saturated my beggar-weed
hay and scattered the ricks. The ex-
pertinent failed, but 1 noticed that when
the stock was turned loose into the field
in the fall they left everything else ana
gathered about the fallen ricks, eating
the decayed beggar weed. ! had a LOAF
hauled to the stable and placed the rotten
stuff in the racks with sweet perfectly
cured corn fodder. My stock did not
touch the fodder until they consumed
every stick of the beggar weed.
If some plan of curing the weed, so
that the leaves will hold, can be devised,
there is nothing comparable to it as Il
long forage.

Poultry Raising in warm weather.

Agricultural Editor Morning News
April, May and June are the three most
critical months to the average poultry
raiser, for he will want some young breed
ers next year, and would also like to raise
a large number for the market. To do this
he has got to hatch them off now and raise
a large per cent. of them.
Chickens are not troubled with disease
in the spring. like they are in fall and
winter, and there is no reason why fully
so per cent. of Matched chickens should
not be raised. During the cool and rainy
days of April all young chickens should
be kept in dry place, and during the
warm days of spring one must bear in
mind that fresh water and plenty of shade
is very essential to the growth and health
of the chickens. All chickens should be
kept cooped up in the early morning, for
If allowed to go in the dew and get their
feet wet the hot sun will make them very
weak later on in the day. II young chick
ems are allowed to range on the farm and
search the woods for worms, they will
make strong and healthy fowls, but
we have found from experience that it
is advisable to keep the chickens in small
yards until they are two months old,
when they will be better able to keep out
of the way of enemies.

We believe the day Is not far off when
much Of the bread consumed by the poor,
especially, win be made from sorghum,
the non-saccharine sorghums chiefly. A
variety of sorghum vulgare known to
many in the south under the various
common names, Ivory wheat, African
wheat" Egyptian wheat" Brazilian
wheat" is in our judgment the best adap-
ted for bread purposes of all that we have
thus far any knowledge Of. The beau
tiful little grain Of this unusually pro-
ductive sorghum produces as edible 4
bread as one would care to have for or
binary purposes.

take hold OF this very interesting question
and determine az an early day the bread

varieties Of sorghum saccharine and nom
saccharine. All Of them are more or less

lizer goes with them The very heaviest
grain crops have been thus grown on land
highly enriched for years IN growing veg
efable crops when 100 or 200, pounds OF SUI
perphosphate and potash have been drilled
in with the seed. The rank growth OF win

the plan of old-fashioned farmers was
the very wasteful one Of putting on enough
stable manure TO make the soil rich to eX-
cess In nitrogen, trusting that when this
was done IN the excess OF ferthty there
would be found sufficient mineral plant
food TO make good crops The manure was
spread over the entire surface, and when II
was plowed under its decomposition did
on most soils make double enough mineral
plant food for the crop. But II was most
wastefu method, whose only advantage
was that it involved waste of labor rath-
er than the expenditure OF actual money.
1t was soon found that a dressing OF $50 to
2J1 pounds of phosphate for grain crops
viii produce larger yields of grain than
will a dressing of 10 or Y loads of stable
manure per acre without the mineral fer
tilizer.
When this was learned stable manure
came into less favor than ii deserved as
before II had been ever valued. There were
farmers 10 to Is years ago who thought
they could grow grain crops without end
solely by free use of phosphate, sometimes
with but more often without some avail9-
BILE heterogeneous plant food 1t was this use
OF phosphate in excess TO grow wheat of-
ter wheat that had quite as much to do
with the decline In the wheat market as
did the increasing competition from Argen-
tina and other foreign countries in the
worlds grain markets.
The truth IS that both stable manure
and the mineral commercial fertilizers are
needed in successful farming in these
times The farmer who has the most sta
bic manure and whose land is the richest

Are there not some to agree with us
that the goat is badly neglected animal
and much more so than it should be in this
section of the world. AS milk producing
animal is it not too much neglected?
Goat meat, we believe, is not a very pop~
ular meat in this country, nevertheless
how many persons of your acquaintance
now can YOU confidently rely upon to stand
firm and persist in refusal of this smoking
patter of barbecued kid with its accom-
paniment of corn pone. All! there's the
rub. In theory a not specially inviting
dish, but in practice-what? This spread

tremely poor man." eXclaims my portly
colleague Van Horn, as he waves his
hand over our frugal repast. Roast kid
mint sauce, green peas, asparagus, let
tuce and corn pone. But 1t Is not so much
from considerations of meat supply that
we were led to ask the question as from
a consideration of the capabilities of this
much ridiculed and abused animal as a
milk producer. In some countries its value
for this purpose is highly appreciated,
and as a consequence the dignity of the
animal is somewhat augmented; but in
this country little or nothing has been
done to develop this valuable character
istic Think of a little animal not larger
than day old calf yielding from four to
six quarts of palatable, nutritious milk,
produced at an expense perhaps of less
than cents per gallOni
We would suggest this matter also to
our experiment stations as a subject for
interesting inquiry.

There is little objection to putting the
hen manure directly on the garden to be
plowed or spaded under in the spring.
One advantage in keeping this manure
over winter is that when thoroughly dried
out II may be crushed or ground and used
with murlate or potash and ground bore
to make a good fertilizer. This dried ma
nure makes an excellent filler for holne-
mixed fertilizer. The carbonate OF lime
