ARMOUR Has the Wheat.

Chicago. June 16.-Arrange-
ments for the closing Of the
Letter deal have been complet-
ed. Final papers were placed
before Joseph Letter today and
seven million bushels of choice
cash wheat were turned over TO
P. ID. Armour, who will hence
forth control all the Letter hold
ings. Armour has already be-
gun to dispose of his holdings
and unless the coming crop is
harvested sooner than anticipa-
ted it seems likely that the inn
immense line of wheat in the
Northwest will be consumed
there. 1t is stated that Letter
will not lose as much as was
generally believed. Armour's
assumption of the burden is
said to have meant at least two
million dollars for Letter. That
much loss would be incurred if
the immense line of wheat had
to be merchandised by trustees
with the probability of a declin'
ling market. The loans made
to Letter by the local banks ag-
gregate nearly seven million
dollars. Each bank was care
full to protect itself with wide
margins that would insure
against loss. Interviews with {
number of bankers interested
show that they are all satisfied
: with the transfer Of the deal b
Armour.

Bermuda Grass.

This grass is unquestionably the best
pasture grass for the South, and is one of
the most nutritious pasture grasses grown
in the Southern states. says bulletin 50
of the Mississippi Experimental Station
While it requires a rich soil for its best
development, it will grow well and furnish
a large amount of grazing on the thin
nest soil.
After a good sod has been formed ii IS
practically impossible for the land to
wash; Bermuda has no equal as a soil
holder All kinds of stock are equally
fond of it. I have seen both horses and
cattle leave a good red clover field and
Craze Bermuda on ditch banks and along
roadsides. Bermuda Is adapted to all
kinds of soil. You will find it growing
we'll on the sandy soil of the piny woods
and on the red clay hills and on the black
lands of the prairie belt.
Since Bermuda grass very rarely, If ever
natures seed in this latitude, the only
safe method to propagate it is by trans
planting the roots or the underground
stems. This should be done in March.
After the land has been prepared as re-
conn. ended above, then with a bull-tongue
or narrow shovel pillow open rows two feet
apart With a short spade shave off sod
two inches thick, or, a cheaper and quick
er method would be to take two-horse
turning plow and set 1t to run shallow,
and turn or edge up the sod. The sod can
then be hauled in large pieces TO the field
and there be broken or cut into small
pieces and dropped in the drill two feet
apart and covered with a light harrow, or
a better plan would be TO so over the field
with heavy roller This would firm the
loose soil around the sod and at the same
time level or press down the ridges left
b. the pillow. AZ the pieces Of sod are en-.
tlrely covered there will be no harm
done. as soon as there is moisture enough
in the soil, the roots win take hold and
the grass make rapid growth. In this eli

pany of the First Texas had from two to
two and half dozen Savannahians TO dine
with them, and hundreds of invitations
were extended to the boys to call at their
residences and feel assured they would
at all times find the latch string on the
outside" The boys say their experience
has been, since they have been here. most
pleasant and they find the Savannahians
a typically Southern and hospitable people,
and nothing IN the cupboard is too good
for the soldier boy" These people certainly
have captured the soldiers, and, judging
from appearances the boys have captured
them. Their visits are not confined to Sun
days alone. but every afternoon large
crowds come to witness dress parade and
review, and applaud their favorite COM
pany. The hour of dress parade has been
changed from $3.50 to p. M, that the visit
tors may have better chance of review
ing the troops.
An incident occurred yesterday evening
Just after retreat. An elderly citizen who
had partaken too freely of the cup that
intoxicates became too hilarious and re-
fusing to be subdued in his expressions by
you ID Yankees" was given safe con-
duct to the guard house by the officer of
the guard, Mlby Porter. On his way
thither he continued to "hurrah for JEFF
Davis and Robert Lee and soundly scored
the damned Yankees that were infringing
on his rights as an American citizen and
bet If Bob Toombs was here he would
make it hot for you" He was detained for
a few hours or until the camp cleared of
visitors and then permitted to go his way.
The different emblematic mounds at the
intersection of company streets prove q
prominently attractive feature to the visi-
tors at camp. Company F (Belknap rihes),
Capt McAdoo, has completed one, the
relative merits of which are distinctly sig
nificant. On the surface is portrayed a pick
and shovel and an ak, three life-size quart
bottles constructed of white flint pebbles,
coal and particles of red lime stone rock,
indicative of the accomplishments of the
company during their campaigns at Mo-
bile, Miami, Jacksonville and Savannah 1t
was the object of much comment and mer-
riment yesterday by the many visitors in
specting it.

Barnyard Manure.

Whilst the tendency of late years has
been towards the extended use of com
mercial fertilizers, and their judiclous use
is to be commended rather than condemn
err, the great value of barnyard manure
should not be overlooked, and every palas
taken to accumulate it and preserve its
qualities unimpaired, says the Southern
Cultivator. In the first place it supplies
humus to the SOIL and a humus, too, of
the very best quality, one rich in nitrogen
Gus matter. Again, it contains great guam
titles of those microbes which play so i'm
portant a part in the chemical changes in
the soil, such as the decay of organic mat
ter and the conversion of nitrogenous COM
pounds into nitrates. 1t supplies also those
microbes which develop the tubercles on
the roots of leguminous plants and bring
about the assimilation of atmospheric nj
trogen. Its good work does not stop mere.
Through the carbonic and other ACIDS
which it generates, it renders soluble much
of the insoluble phosphate and potasslc
compounds of the soil. One is accustomed
to think of barnyard manure as being
valuable chiefly because of the plant food
in it and which it directly supplies, but it
is highly probable that its indirect action
is even more valuable than It's direct.
Hence the advisabinty of using it in COM
bination with commercial fertilizers, and
not by itself alone where the supply of II
is limited Apply the commercial fertiliz-
ers to supply food directly to the crop Use
barnyard manure in connection with it,
partly to supplement the available plant
food, but chiefly TO perform the other i'm
portant works indicated above. Every pre-
caution should be taken to accumulate as
much of it as possible, to protect it from
teaching rains, to prevent overheating or
firefanging with consequent loss Of its nj
trogenous contents. Accumulation under
animals in their stalls is one of the best
means of preserving 1t in good condition.
Part of it viii become so dry as not to
ferment, and the wet part is usually so
consolidated by the tramplng of the stock
that it ferments very slowly and with lit
tie heat. If thrown out under shed ii
should be scattered so as to dry as quickly
as possible. The addition of little kainit
from time to time will help to prevent a
loss of nitrogen and otherwise benefit the
manure by increasing lis potassic contents.

save the Frngments.

All along the line may be found discour-
aged and careless farmers. who, on ac-
count of the low prices, are disposed to
leave unpicked cotton, uncut hay, pndug
potatoes and some other things, in the
field. This is not wise. 1t is better to
have little than nothing, but where one
has saved all he cared to save the I'M
priced fragments should not be allowed to
spoil. Rather than this, allow Ruth there
are plenty of Ruths near you, probably
either white or black, who are In need and
will value what you do noD to go into the
fields. Nature is jealous of waste of her
productions, and requires of those who
neglect her bounues a penalty common
surate with the offense. There should be
nothing wasted. Little economies are not
to be despised by the wise. 1t is the foo
that wastes and comes to want. Waste
not want not The wasteful habits of
many farmers have brought them to the
ragged edge of want and despair, but it
is never to late to amend If one chooses

ArtichoIxes-Hovy to Keen,

A correspondent at Ice. Ga, asks when
artichokes should be dug, and the best
way to preserve them.
When artichokes are grown in any well
drained soil they will, as a rule keer
perfectly in the soil until the following
spring, especially if the stalks are left
undisturbed. They can be dug as needed
Where II is desired, however, to remove
them from the soil, they can be put in
trenches foot or so deep and a mound
of earth thrown over them. Unless kept
reasonably moist they dry out and soor
lose their succulence. AS rule, it is best
to plant the crop in November or Decem.
Der, but it can be deferred until later.
