TO SAVE HIS FORAGE.
George I. Russell of Orlando Is
Making an Experiment.

Orlando, Fla. Aug. 5.-Mr. George 1.
Russell of this place is making an ex-
pertinent in the saving of forage, which
will be watched with unusual inter-
est. He has erected a silo of eighty
tons capacity which he is filling with
pea vine, green corn stalks, beggar
weed, etc. So far as the News rep
resentative is aware this is the first
attempt on a scale that would be a
fair test in this part of the state.
Possibly no state in the Union is
susceptible of producing a greater
amount of forage to the acre than
Florida, but as all such crops mature
just in the hight of the rainy sea-
son, it is EXCEEDINGLY difficult to cure
hay when the crop must be cut to be
of any value.
Prof Tracy, field agent of the Ag-
ricultural Department, after a number
of years practical experience in Mis-
sissippi, says that the newly intro
-duced Japanese sugar cane is one OF
the most valuable of forage plants
when converted into ensilage. This
cane grows remarkably here and or
all sorts OF land, doing best in high
situations, or on land best adapted &c
orange trees. 1t has already become
a great favorite with the farmers OF
this section. 1t can be cut three OF
four times during a summer.
Florida beggar weed is conceded tc
be one of the best green forage plants
that grows. But it is sappy and diff
cult to cure as hay, as it is in proper
condition to cut just in the hight Of
the rainv season.
If Mr. Russells experiment prove:
successful it will open up way O
curing the valuable plants which thrive
here, and enable the farmers to pu
up all of the long feed that the sec
ton requires, thus keeping hundredi
of thousands of dollars at home, where
now the money is sent to the Nortl
and West to purchase hay.

Booker Washington acknowledges with
the sincerest gratitude the liberal and eff
cient help given him by the white people
of Tuskegee from the commencement OF
his work among them. He says he never
has appealed to any one of them without
a response up to the measure of the do
nor's abilities.
Efforts made to withdraw small state
appropriation allowed the school have
been uniformly and successfully resisted
by the white citizens. The school is re-
garded as valuable contributor to the
trade of the town and the surrounding
country.
1t is well known that Washington does
not own the school. 1t is q perpetual char

tirely by student labor, and that labor in

and time. could build and equip modern

not surpassed anywhere for its cost, and
was built and equipped by the students,
except as to the chairs. The chapel is a
magnificent edifice and seats 2,406 per-
sons. Rockefeller hall is a splendid build

and finely supplied with necessary prac-
tical machinery and appurtenances. The
stables, herds, dairies and other stock
properties are modelled after the best in
the country.
The income from all sources this year is
estimated at s71,s3s and the expenses at

pal Washington will have to get out

last year were $192 049.a1 and the current
expenses were $152, 1880. The surplus
went into permanent improvements. Yet
