The DrOuth In Bourbon.

BOURBON seems to bave suffered more
from the drouth than most any county
in Kentucky, for government crop re-
ports tell of rain in many sections In
this county the grass is burned to the
roots, aud the corn and hemp crops will
only yield half an average crop. The to-
bacco crop will also fall short. Farmers
report that they may have to cut their
green corn to feed to cattle if the drouth
is not soon broken.

Manures and Soils.

The terms that are printed on fertil-
izer bags are not we'll understood by
farmers and very often the inquiry is
made as to difference in the meaning
of ammonia" and nitrogen" as print
ed on fertilizer bags and also what is
meant by "bone phosphate" The Ru-
raj New Yorker was asked these ques-
tons and replied by saying that nitro
gen is one of the elementary sub
stances and ammonia is nitrogen mix
ed with another gas called hydrogen
which has no value as fertilizer. Nj
trOgen is fourteen times as heavy as
hydrogen and ammonia is a mixture Of
one part nitrogen and three parts by
drogen. A pound Of ammonia there
fore contains Is 1-5 parts of available
nitrogen. If a fertilizer contains two
per cent. of nitrogen it would natural
ly contain nearly PIE per cent. of am,
mOnia, because the nitrogen would be
combined with a certain amount Of n.y.
drOgen and thus give more weight. In
naming ammonia instead of nitrogen
the per cent. will make larger figures,
but there will be no more fertilizing
material. A practical illustration can
be made by comparing wheat flour and
and bread:

food value is concerned, we would

Railways. Take ten tons per acre
as the average yield, which Is not too
high to expect wherever good, 1ntelll-
gent care is bestowed on the crop.
This gives a gross income or S3o an
acre, and the man who canlot MAKE
net income of from $50 to $50 an acre
out Of that is hardly wOrthJ the name

not interest the Floridian who is look
ing out for a cash crop let him look
into the profits per acre Of grain grow"
inc in the North and West and into tie
profits per acre of beet growing FOR
the sugar industry, and he will hnd
that those growers think themselves

capital? How many have 1t? Is
there one farmer in fifty along Indian
river who has money enough to buy
fifty head Of cattle? And how many
are living where they could look after
them if they had them? If man has
not enough capital to buy as many as
fifty head he had better let the idea go.
He must look after them constantly or
else they will stray off or be stolen,
and unless he has enough to pay for
the time Of looking after them he had
better leave it alone.
If we could convert talk into capital
success would be certain.-S. Hendry,

rather have pound of -four than a
pound Of bread, because the bread
contains not only the flour, but water,
salt and other things which are not
true food Let us say that a pound of
-four would make 11A pounds of bread
A baker might say: Here is a barrel
of flour, weighing 1876 pounds, which
represents 294 pounds of bread" No
man would say that 1876 pounds of
bread contain as much food as the
barrel of flour. The difference, there
fore, between nitrogen and ammonia
is, that pound of nitrogen is all use
full as plant food, whereas only 1919
ounces of ammonia are worth anything
to the plant.
Bone phosphate is a term used chief
ly by fertilizer dealers and manufac-
turers in buying phosphoric acid. We
cannot use pure phOsphOric acid. 1t
must be in combination with some
thing else, usually with lime. In bone,
there is one part of phosphorus to
three parts of lime, and this combina-
ton is known as a bone phosphate
When. you see bone phosphate on a
fertilizer analysis, you will under
stand that there is enough phosphor-
GUS present to equal so much bone
phosphate, if it were united with the
necessary amount of lime. In the
analysis quoted above, eight per cent.
of phosphoric acid is guaranteed. The
manufacturer goes on and says that, if

Cassava VS.. Cotton.

Previous to 1860 large cotton planta-
lions were in existence in South Flori-
da, but have long since been relegated
to the past because the soil and eli
matte conditions were not favorable to
a remunerative crop. Next came the
orange culture which certainly pre-
scented a brilliant future and seemed
destined to bring vast wealth to the
State. but climatic conditions have
proved to be too severe in the orange
belt of South Florida, and fond hopes
have been blighted.
But in this progressive age we can
not stop at failures, we must exist, ana
have our being, and if we do not make
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-11-08

the effort we are unworthy of our ex,
istence. There is true saying, "God
helps the man that helps himself, but
has not much use for the man who will
not make the effort"
Fortunes have been spent in prepar,
ing the land and raising orange groves.
Those groves have been destroyed
through no fault of ours, but we have
the land under a good state of cultiva-
ton at an enormous expense, now
ready and waiting for a crop adapted
and suitable for it, that crop is cas-
sava. Why? Because it is the crop
best adapted to the soil and climatic
conditions; it is an absolutely sure
crop; it is not destroyed OF seriously
injured by either cold or drouth, and
with intelligent and judicious cultiva,
ton will produce from $25 to $500 per
acre, with a cash market at our doors
The Planters Manufacturing Co.
1t is, 1 think, a true saying, that
every man has his opportunity given
him according to his capacity, at some
period of life, but it is not every man
that embraces that opportunity.
l consider that now every farmer in
South Florida has had that opportuni-
ty presented to him and while | think
a very large majority will embrace it,
there may be few who will doubt the
statements, but are bound to be con-
verified in the near future.
1 do not wish to convey the idea that
1 think all will suddenly become rich
by raising cassava, but it surely pre-
sents to us a comfortable living and
independence not obtained in many
other callings.

now prepared to furnish seed at a trif-
ing cost and are also prepared to eX.
tend favors to those who may require
seed and fertilizer to raise a crop of

Green Feed in Winter For Cows.

These experiments were conducted
on the Florida Experiment Station
farm during the fall and winter Of
1S93-94 About October l to 10, equal
plots of good ground were prepared,
and moderately fortified, with fer
tilizer compounded at the station. The
ingredients We're such and in such pro-
portions as are indicated for a root
crop, and used moderately in thirty
inch drills or rows.
The plants tried for our winter green
feed were rye, barley, turnip, rutaba-
ga, rape and cOllards. The barley was
a failure-possibly half a ton, when
dry, to the acre. The rye was grand
success, grew very fine; must have
been ten times as heavy as the barley,
and was very satisfactory as green
feed / found that it should be all fed
out by the time it came out in head,
as, after it became hard, the cows only
ate the tenderest part, the tops, and
wasted the larger part. This was the
most satisfactory crop for milk, as
milk produced from the root crops was
tainted in it's flavor.
Next came turnips; these were a sue
cess, and the cows ate them all, both
tops and roots, but they caused q
green taste in the milk.
Rape was tried; this did we'll; two
varieties were tried, the Dwarf Essex
and the Chinese rape These plants
grew a large amount of forage.
Rutabagas produced well, and were
the best of the root crops for the milk.
Collards lasted longest, and kept
growing and producing feed till late
spring. l think the collards and the
rye were the most profitable. One of
the rape varieties produce quite a bulb
as we'll as a large top for feed. No
record was kept for the exact weight
of each per acre.
NV conclusions from these trials are
in favor of rape and rutabagas, il the
land is suitable for these crops.
1 should expect that the large stock
beet or mangel wurzel would produce
more feed for COWS than the rutabagas.
From these trials l would not raise
these green feeds only for milk. They
might pay for sheep, for ewes with
young lambs, that you were growing
for winter or spring market.-W. III.

Diversified Trucking.


1t is certainly a great fault with us
to continue the planting of so many
beans. 1t is beans, beans, beans! But
the most of the land along our river Is
better adapted to bean growing than
anything else Chat is, the vegetable
lands) and to say the truth the minds
of the farmers are better adapted to
bean growing too. But there are very
few truck farms that have not some
land that is suited to lettuce, onions,
potatOes-Irish potatoes, not sweet pO-
tatoes. If there ever was a place IN
Florida where it tries the patience or
the farmer to produce sweet potatoes 1t
is along Indian river. l get on fine

few spots where they will grow, but

etc. I can grow almost, if not quite,
to perfection in my garden. All OF
these are salable in Northern markets
and in our local markets, but OF course
the latter is so easily supplied that we
cannot depend on them to a great eX-
tent, and to ship to Northern markets
we meet with fair sales on them, but

portation charges! Why should the
cream of our labors be taken off in
such q manner? But--the other crops

The Tale of a Dollar.

Two we'll known men about town
concluded to have little fun with a
prominent official in certain cafe on

treat. The official protested he had no
change with him but counterfeit dollar.
"Oh that will do, said one. They walk

freshments and the dollar was laid down
and as quickly found its way to the till.
the bartender rang up the purchase and
handed out the change. The official
passed out intending to return with Il
good dollar and have the laugh on the
barkeeper While he was gone one of
the jokers stepped up and told him that
he had taken in counterfeit dollar. The
barkeeper examined the coin and throw
ing it down on the counter in his wrath,
declared he didn't appreciate such
jokes. His informant picked it up and
put it in his pocket. At his place of
business that day he wanted dollar
for his personal use and told fellow
clerk that he would deposit the counter
felt in the till and redeem it when he
came back from his room. On coming
10 work he went to the money drawer TO
redeem the coin, when 10! and behold
the proprietor IN his innocence OF the
transaction passed it or on somebody
and the counterfeit dollar is doing duty
some where in the community "a though
it were the genuine thing. The joker is
