What becomes of ThemY

The question is often asked: "What
becomes of the horses and mules?"
Every year large numbers of horses
and mules are brought into the south
and sold. 1t is stated that in Chester
field, S. c., not less than 500 horses and
mules are sold to farmers annually at
an average price of Shopper head. 1t is
estimated that the farmers of South
Carolina pay out annually $4,000, 900
for horses and mules. This is quite
drain upon the farmers. 1t is for
them to consider whether or not 1t
is not the best policy for them to stop
this drain by raising their own horses
and mules. There is great possibilities
in this line for southern farmers, and
by eliminating from their expense ac-
count that of the purchase of mules
and horses they will relieve cotton Of
the burden of raising funds for this
purpose. The raising of live stock is
in the line of Investigations of agri-
cultural pursuits; it stops great leak
and serves to intensity the proper ro-
tation of crops; it aids in the great pur-
pose of disposing of some of the farm
products to advantage and assists in
maintaining soil fertility. = Dixie

HERE AND THERE.

If you have field that did not
produce good crop of corn last fall,
grow fertilizing crop on 1t this sum-
mer. like clover or cowpeas. 1t will be
a profitable venture in the long run.
Almost all stable manure is def.
Gent in potash. 1t is best supplied in
the form of German potash salts, which
are not caustic, and will absorb am
monia rather than dissipate it, if APP
piled to manure heaps.
in setting out trees, trim the roots
when struggling. Select time when
the ground is just moist; not wet.
Press dirt firmly about the roots, and
set about two inches deeper than they
were in nursery.
BE wise. Turn the straw, hay and
fodder into manure by way of the sta
BILE, whereby you may increase your
crops while getting profit from the
stock. Grow nothing absolutely value
less.
1t hardly pays to drive the dairy
cows with dog power. Animals are
not wholly incapable of recognizing
kind treatment; they may not have a
soul, but they have an instinct, which
guides them.
If you have neglected to make ar
rangements for hot-bed, better haul
out good load of manure where it Is
to be built, and sprinkle over the
ground that the hot-bed is to occupy.
Don't neglect this; 1t is well worth all
it costs.
There is not one farmer in exist
ence that could not feed a dozen sheep
without feeling the loss Of the feed.
To feed we'll is the first and last neces-
sity for success. One had better keep
his money in his pocket, than to buy
sheep and then neglect them.
Oats are better for seed II hand
threshed and half the grain left In
the straw. The fail knocks out the
plump grain first, and these are worth
much more than the regular oat price
for seed. it would probably be better
II all small grain used for seed were
hand threshed.
Cherry trees succeed best on high,
dry soils, especially when they abound
in potash. The leaf Of the tree mil
dews easily, especially on low lands
subject to fog. A high position well
drained, and yet with a deep, rich soil,
will bear bountiful crops for years II
well supplied with mineral fertihzers.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
RAMIE CULTURE.
The New Fiber Plant that May One Day
Supplant Cotton.

The New Fiber Plant that May One Day
Supplant Cotton.
In the years between 1869 and 1875
the subject Of ramie, the then new fiber
plant, was much discussed in the ag-
ricultIfal papers. The result OF the
agitation OF the matter, as understand
1t, was that there was no question as
to the adaptability Of our soil and eli
mate to its proper growth, there was
no reliable market for the fiber, and
the requirements of the trade as to
preparation were such as TO render it
too costly and unsatisfactory to make it
profitable to the planter.
The time has come at last when
these difficulties have been overcome,
and it is now possible to cultivate and
prepare it for market at n greater
profit to the farmer thar the cultiva-
ton of cotton.
received letter from prominent
London firm few days ago, in which
they state that "a powerful syndicate
has been formed for the purpose of
manipulating the fiber, and are pre-
pared to make large contracts extend
Ing to from five to seven years, to take
as much as 5000 tons per year OF the
fiber in the shape of ribbons, which is
simply the fiber or bark freed of the
pith." Heretofore the difficulty was
to get rid of the gummy matter in the
bark. This the syndicate will do by a
process known to themselves and as
there are cheap machines now made
for separating the bark from the pith,
the matter is so simplified that there
is no reason why its cultivation should
not be profitable.
The letter went on to say that "the
syndicate would pay $50 per ton deliv'
cred in London for the first two years
and $50 per ton for subsequent years.

Some claim that it is apt to become Z

farmers like myself whose farms are in

grass lands to the value of sixty dollar
per ton for its crude fibre, am one whit
Is willing to try it II it is pest.
The ramie when once established
will grow for twenty years without re
setting, and will produce in this coun

extensively, they get from four to tiv
tons per acre.
