BIG SHIP LOAD OF PERUVIAN
uUANO.
First Cargo Of Kind Brought Here in
25 Years:
Savannah News, Feb. I'd, 1905

Savannah News, Feb I'd, 1905
The British steamship Cuzco, lying at
the Central Of Georgia docks, is dis
charging a cargo of fertilizers, the first
Of its kind brought to Savannah within
the last twenty-five years, and one of a
very few brought to any part of this
country in the same length of time.
The cargo consists OF 5000 tons Of gen
uine Peruvian guano collected from the
islands along the Peruvian coast.
The guano deposits are situated in
the rocky islands and in gulIies along
the coast, places that for ages have been
the abode OF innumerable sea birds,
such as pelicans and penguins. Here
were their living and breeding places,
as we'll as their cemeteries, so that the
guano was formed of the remains OF the
hsh upon which they fed.
The cargo was brought from Lobos De
Afdra, a small island off Peru, and is
imported by Baugh Il Sons Company, of
Baltimore, who are represented at Sa-
yannah 10y Mr. Robert L. Payne. This
firm, besides handling other fertilizers.
began short time ago to import the
Peruvian guano last season bringing
seyerai thousand tons OF it to this
country.

As a source Of profit gooseberries
are not easily surpassed by other
fruits. The fact that they can be used
for 50 long time, beginning when
they are no larger than small pea
and continuing until they are fully
ripe. and that they will stand much
longer after being picked than most
fruit, SO that II not marketed the day
they are picked they can be marketed
the next day, is in their favor.
would prefer rather a cool, damp
soil for gooseberries. Plow deep, pull
verize thoroughly, but do not make too
rich with fresh manure. After prepar-
ing the soil mark rows six feet apart
with single shovel plow, then with a
spade set plants, opening the trench
deep enough for the roots, and fill in
loose dirt, firming the dirt thoroughly
with the foot. I would set the plants
four feet apart In the row, using two
year-old plants. Cultivate Just as you
"ould corn, not ridging, but with thor
ough and rather shallow cultivation
after the first year. Do not be afraid
to do little pruning. for II you would
have fine fruit you should prune about
one-half Of every years growth. The
plantation should continue to bear well
for about eight or ten years, after
which would set out q new planta-
ton. Always use the best plants, and
of the leading varieties. II you would

STARTING LAMBS ON FEED.
Failure or Success Is Determined By
the Care Used in the Be-
ginning.

do not believe any other one phase OF
lamb feeding contributes more toward
failure than careless feeding when the
lambs are first put onto feed. Toward
the end Of the feeding season careless
beginners wonder why their lambs have
not done better on the amount OF feed
supplied them. In nearly every case
1t Is because they we're not started In
the right manner to begin with, writes
Michigan farmer In Orange Judd
Farmer.
When first began feeding lambs for
market was inexperienced In the busi-
ness, but several of my neighbors had
been feeding lambs for several years.
To start with I purchased 100 western
lambs out of a car lot shipped in by
one of my neighbors. The lambs were
put onto corn feed as soon as they ar
rived at the barn. Glover hay and bean
pods were fed for roughage and corn
and oats as a grain ration. Both Of
these were fed In amounts that the lambs
would clean up nicely. These lambs
were fed during the winter and the
following spring marketed. but to my
surprise they had hardly made an aver
age gain of Is pounds each.
This illustrates the Importance Of
starting the lambs right. While had
supplied the proper amount Of food,
had not prepared the lambs to consume
1t probably. Since, have become more
acquainted with the art of feeding lambs
and am now able to At lambs that when
marketed bring the top prices.
For the first two or three weeks after
the lambs are put onto feed they should
be fed very carefully. At first they are
inclined to overeat and unless the feed
Is supplied in moderate amounts, seri.
Gus trouble results that in many in
stances terminates the feeding season
1t Is advisable for two or three days after
the lambs are put in the barn to feed
bright oat straw twice daily at morning
and evening. With this kind of rough
age there is not the danger Of the lambs
overeating. The aim In feeding this
kind Of food is to give the lambs a chance
to rest up physically before loading the
stomach. After the first two or three
days the arrangement can be turned
around and the hay fed twice daily ant
the oat straw once at noon.

PROFIT IN LIVE STOCK.
The Effects Of Feeding on the Quality
Of Beef and Meat Of Other
Animals.

The most valuable cuts on the beef an
imal are the loin. prime ribs, the seven
ribs next the loin, the rump and round;
in other words, the cuts taken along the
back and from the thighs. the former be-
ing of much greater value than the lat
ter, says L. d. Hale, Illinois experiment
station.
AS to whether 1t is possible to deter
mine by means of the feed the part OF
the carcass which will be most highly
developed, no experimental results have
been published which are sufficiently
we'll grounded to warrant conclusion
on this point. Any figures to be trust
worthy should be based upon the
slaughter test Of large number OF an
imals fed by different methods. So
far as our present knowledge goes, 1t
cannot be said that the method Of feed
ing exerts any material influence upon
the relative development Of the different
parts. That Is to say. the carcass OF q
steer in thin condition has about the
same percentage Of loin and rib cuts
as that Of prime fat steer.
Not only does tnlS seem 10 De true, Dut
much less difference seems to exist be-
tween well-bred animals and scrubs in
this respect than is commonly supposed.
More evidence is needed upon this point
also. However, In the light OF present
knowledge, 1t would seem that the ad-
vantage of intelligent feeding is far more
in the rapid gain and better finish Sc
cured than in the development OF GER
tain parts Of the carcass; and that the
advantage of animals Of beef, mutton or
lard types over those OF dairy, wool or
bacon conformation lies rather In the
more rapid gain, higher finish, higher
percentage Of carcass to live weight
and better quality Of meat, than In the
percentage of valuable cuts.

Where to Plant Peach Trees.

Years ago the peach was thought tc
be tender tree, needing the utmost
degree of protection. 1t was planted,
therefore, in the most sheltered spots
on the south side of buildings and
windbreaks, or hidden away among 9TH
er trees, That method has been COM
pletely revolutionized because the buds
are liable to expand during periods Of
mild weather In winter, and suffer dam
age In subsequent freezes. In addition
the trees themselves, by reason Of their
sheltered location, are less likely to
ripen their wood after q seasons growth

gives the following lucid explanation OF
its advantages:
"As the moisture from the surface
evaporates 1t Is replaced by moisture
drawn from greater depths by capillary
attraction, Just as oil is drawn through
the wick Of lamp to replace that which
Is consumed by the flame. The rapidity
with which moisture will evaporate
from the ground depends upon the con-
dition of the capillary tubes, or pores
that connect the surface with the deeper
soil. Any dry blanket that can be placed
between the atmosphere and the damp
soil will check this evaporation. The
most practical protection 10 covering
Of finely pulverized dry soil, two or
three inches deep. BY thoroughly loos-
ening the surface layer the soil par
ticles are disarianged 80 that the capii-
larry tubes are not continuous. In this
condition the surface soil becomes quite
dry, and remains 80 without absorbing
moisture from below. thus acting as q
mulch and retaining the moisture within

another cultivation necessary in order
