Harvesting Corn In the south.

In saving fodder, the details consist
in stripping, by hand, the entire corn
stalk of its blades on their maturity.
says a writer in American Agricultur-
list That is, at as late a date as pos
sible consistent with the prevention of
the firing or parching of the blades
themselves, i'm order to utilize their
function as foliage to the last moment,
and prevent subsequent shrinking OF
the grain on the ear. Fodder pulling
is effected according to latitude and
season. from the first of August to the
middle or even the last of September.
When the operators hands are full of
blades. and he can hold no more. the
quantity is termed a hand. and is
bound rapidly with a twist and hung

WARRANTS WORTH $4,000 DE-
STROYED.

Some time after the warrants were
issued for those having claims against
the state of Florida for service in the
Indian War, Capt. ]. F. P. Johnston
placed $4,000 worth of them in a safe
belonging to his father. This safe was
moved from place and place and as the
warrants were not considered of any
value, they were meyer removed. The
key to the safe was lost and several
efforts were made to drill into it,
Holes were bored into the safe and
this permitted the rain to enter Not
long ago Capt. Johnston opened the
safe to get the warrants and found
that the rains had completely de-
stroyed them. They had been trans
formed into mud and not line or
scratch of the pen could be discerned.
If the warrants could be had now.
they would be worth over $4,000.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO HOUSE
WIFE AND AGRICULTURIST.

HOE Cholera and What Causes IL
southern DaIryinG Sauerkrnui
Easily Made-HOw to Grow House
PIants-PrOper Use of Lime.
1t is very generally admitted by those
untitled to an opinion upon the subject,
that most of the cholera in this coun-
try is caused by the injudicious use of
dry corn. This, with impure water and
a dusty bed to sleep on. we have no
doubt, causes IS per cent of the loss OF
hogs in any locality, whether North.
South. East or West.
Give the hogs a good pasture, pure
water to drink. and place to sleep in
where there is no foul dust-no mud,
either-and there will be little trouble
with hog disease of any kind. So long
as the grass is fairly succulent hogs
will grow and thrive on it the same as
cattle. There is nothing better than
Bermuda grass for them.
OF course, when there is no green
pasture other food must be provided
for them, but in no case should it be
dry corn recklessly thrown to them
without safe apportionment to each
individual animal. Such corn should
always be boiled or soaked before feed
ing.
For a selling or cut crop there is
nothing more valuable than Sorghum.
II should be raised for the special pur-
pose by every hog-Taiser. So should
turnips be grown and a certain area
OF Lucerne should be provided. The
hogs must have some succulent or
green food every day in the year If
possible But avoid dry corn fed to
them on the ground. and especially
any rotten or imperfect corn.

T>-oNsc,y more general misunder-
standing prevails regarding the use of
Nrae on soils than any other mineral
element which we apply. a good
many san seem TO believe that lime
IS : manure. and that its applica ton
takes the place of nearly all other fer
gilzers. The best way to dispel this
error is 10 state at the outset that lime
IS not q manure, or fertilizer. and
where so used a serious mistake is
made. Lime put on poor soils is gen.
orally waste of time and good ma
terial. 1t never yet improved poor soil
unless the land was sour or overfed
with humus which 1t could not we'll
digest.
ON rich soil, however, lime has AN
important function to perform, and it
can be made to do it with great Sue
cess. Lime is more like a disinfectant
and corrective than anything else.
One should apply it to the soil much
as man would take some anti-billious
medicine. When the soil is in danger
of getting congested and heavy with
too much plant food a dressing of
lime might we'll be applied to help it,
Consequently we find the use of lime
in connection with clover excellent.
Glover crops add a great deal of ma
terial to the soil, and sometimes there
is so much in the land that lime is es-
Sential to help its digestion. AS a
dressing on clover lime produces the
best results especially where the clo-
Yer has had a heavy stand for two or
more seasons. Land that is fed heay-
lily every year with barnyard or green
manure will be helped by dressing OF
lime. Sometimes the soil is SO rich
but congested with unassimilated food
that dressing of lime for one season
without any fertilizer is the best thing
for it. Because of successful work in
this way some have apparently got the
notion that lime is a good fertilizer
But 1t is not, and would not have
worked so well on any other soil that
was not rich in manure to begin with
s. w. Chambers.

THE VETERAN JURIsT.

Vidalia Press: Judge a. H. Hansell
of Thomasville, judge of the Southern
circuit, will soon retire from the bench.
after serving almost continually for
over so years. He was appointed judge
in 1S49, when the circuit embraced
nearly half the territory of the state
from the Oconee river to the Florida
line. Judge Hansell has served longer
on the bench, probably, than any other
judge in the country and never a sus-
picion of corrupt act has touched him.
There are few left like him.

The onion is a vegetable that should
be grown in the South, not only Tor
home consumption, but to ship to
Northern markets. BY the phenomenal
success of a few who are making a
specially OF this crop, it seems that
others could engage in it's cultivation
to- great advantage, when It would
hnally become quite a commercial crop
Onions are yearly shipped from the
North to Southern states, to furnish
our people with this succulent vege-
table. What we need in the South is
more crops that somebody else wants:
We at least ought to be able to supply
our own market. We have the soil,
the climate and the labor, we should
grow such crops that help in the ag-
gregate to increase the products of our
Southern farms
There are three methods Of growing
onions which we will describe First
with sets, second by sowing the seeds
in the fall and transplanting early in
the spring, and third by sowing the
seed in open ground in the spring as
soon as the weather will permit Onions
from sets are grown mostly for bunch
ing, and sold green to supply our
spring market; they are not suita ole
for ripe dry onions, as they will not
keep, although we have kept the Pearl
variety through the summer for home
use. Sets can be grown in the South
as well as at the North, and are much
preferred. The seed should be sown on
very thin soil, too poor TO produce
weeds. and sown very thick In the row.
