But what does the humus do in the
soil? From the humus come all the

The soil bacteria transform humus
into nitric acid. and this with the pot

Bermuda and Lucern.


Very few farmers in the South have
yet adopted any of the valuable per-
ennial plants that continue to yield
profitable crops from five to ten years
from one sowing of seeds. For one
reason or another they have feared
to use any other than annual plants
so it happens that there are not many
acres in Georgia either of lucern or
any of the perennial grasses, other
than Bermuda which in nine cases out
of ten forced itself upon the farmer
OF orchard grass, meadow oat per-
ennial rye grass. meadow cescue and
the like there are not many acres al
together in the whole of Georgia.
AS stock raising becomes developed
in the South there perennial clover and
grasses are bound to be made use of
and doubtless to the exclusion of most
of the plants now commonly used.
There are some ANNALS that we can
always use to great advantage, as
catch crops to make up temporary de-
fciencies of forage, but the great re-
ly rest upon the more valuable peren-
malls Chief among which for pasture
must ever be Bermuda Only on the
richer bottom lands will it do for
meadow or moving grass, but there
is no arabic upland on which it can
not be used profitably for pasture. Elk
cept when at very hard work all kinds
of stock can be maintained perfectly
on first-class Bermuda hay alone. For
driving and working animals a half
bushel of oats and fifteen pounds of
choice Bermuda hay free from dusD
is an ideal days ration, not easily i'm
proved upon And the same is true
of lucern. Very little grain is need
ed to supplement a full ration of the
best lucern hay-lucern cut when in
bloom and cured in the shock

without injuring it for seed purposes.
This is owing to its leaf system in that
1t don't shed the leaf that covers the
bud when same is fully developed as
the other canes do. This insures
a far more northern latitude for its
production than is usually conceded to
sugar cane. / have had il coming
through a six degrees of frost period
without injury and l know it is per
fectly safe to plant it al least as far
north as the latitude of Atlanta, Ga
It's root growth is different also from
the ordinary cane in that 1t goes deep
er in the soil and is not so much a
surface feeder. To prove this, I have
yet to see the first of it blown down
by a wind storm. l have had 1t side
by side with purple, green and striped
cane, all of which were laid fiat with
a wind storm while the Japanese va
riety kept it's natural position. There
are, of course, a few Objectionable fea-
lures about it, one of which is the
extreme difficult of stripping it clean
for grinding, owing to the tenacity
with which the leaves stick to the
stalk causing extra expense in time
taken to prepare it for the mill. Its
hardness is also against it, in that you
cannot feed it to a tightly set mill
without breaking off short at every
joint. OF course, in the case where
a series OF six or nine mill rollers are
used, this can be avoided by setting
the first series of rolls quite wide apart
and the others proportionately close
The yield per acre in production of
syrup is not any better than the pur-
pie or striped cane, but color and
quantity are better. A great recon-
mendation for it, however, is its long
gevity, for I believe when it is once
firmly established it is good for TWEEN
ty years from the one planting. 1t
is truly astonishing how it stools and
suckers and increases year after year,
until the whole ground seems to be
filled with it. / had it planted two
years ago six feet apart, but now you
can barely get between the rows, and
a good number of hills have sixty
stalks and upward each. The ease
with which it can be grown, and it's
rapid increase makes me think that
it is going to be one of the most profit
able forage crops that we can grow.
1t is certainly excellent stock food
for all classes of stock horses, mules,
included, and everything that walks
on four feet enjoys eating it. l have
fed it extensively to my dairy cows
with very satisfactory results. and one
great recommends ton about it for
stock feeding is the ease with which
it can be kept in the green or sue
culent state all winter by simply cut
ting and putting in windows of about
every six rows in one, the tops or
leaves of the one layer covering the
butts of the previous one, and cover
ing the whole thing with leaves or
any kind of rubbish that is easily got
Anyone with a lot of corn stalks will
find them handy for this purpose.

orchard, when growth Is the thing
most needed, clean cultivation and lib
eral manuring are the means for get
ting the trees. But rapid growth and
fruitfulness do not go together, for
the strongest growers among apples
are usually the longest in coming in
to bearing, the Northern Spy, for ex-
ample. Therefore when we have the
trees we'll grown and of a size to be
fruiting the slight check given by put
ting in grass is beneficial to the fruit
ing Then if all the grass that grows
on the land is cut several times dur
ing the season and used as a mulch,
while annual top dressings are applied
to keep up the fertility of the soil,
especially in phosphoric acid and pot
ash, a fair annual crop of good fruit
will be the result if the spraying for
insects is not neglected. Not neglect
