HERD'S GRASS.
What a Milionare Said About Half
a Century Ago.
The. News and Courier rpro
sis liiis e nu-mber e -o
.2dicle from Mr. Geo. .
swritten fifty ea
which he now says e has no
reason to change:
In upper Georgia we have the
mountain ranges producing luxu
riant native grasses and wild pea
vines to feed the "cattle on a
thousand hills." I know that the
-erroneous opinion prevails with
many that our climate and soils
are not adapted to the cultivation
of such grasses as can be made
into good hay. This is quite a
mistake. I have seen the best
meadows in New England, but
nowhere have' I seen grass grow
more luxuriantly than in Georgia.
It is to be regretted that this im
portant branch of Southern agri
culture is so much neglected.
The cultivation of grass is a sub
ject of vast importance to our
people. We have thousands of
acres of land, too wet for grain
and cotton, that might be sown
down with grass and yield a
handsome profit to the farmer.
No grass has succeeded so well
- in Georgia as the Herd's grass.
It flourishes on wet soils and
reclaimed swamps, but will thrive
on most soils;. makes an excellent
spring and winter pasturage, and
can be mown twice in one year.
This valuable grass is more exten
sively cultivated in Habersham
County than any other section of
the State.
It was introduced into Nacoo
chee Valley by Major Williams,
*in 1835. The Major has tried
the celebrated Bermuda, Meai,
Guinea and other grasses, but
found none equal to the Herd's.
The farmers of that valley under
stand the value of good hay and
hiave more than a hundred acres
of fine meadow.
Herd's grass is easily propa
gated; is perennial and, when once
introdluced into good soil, will
flourish with a little care for
years. The land intended for
meadows should be thoroughly
.cleaned of swamps and roots,
then ploughedl and harrowed.
T~he grass seed should be sown
with oats, broadcast, afterward
harrowed and brushed in.
March is a good month for
sowing. The oats will protect
p The young grass from the hot sun;
cut the oats, grass and weeds as
close to the ground as possible.

first year. Meado~ws are often

proved by irrigation. During the
winter months turn the 8
bran
sace soi etie
from standing wit#r after the 1st
of March. Harrowing in the fall j
is beneficial.
When the time for mowing e
arrives remember you are to 1
"make hay while the sun shines." I
Let each mower be followed by a 9
boy, whose duty it is to take up C
the swath and shake it out as
thin as possibfe where it grew. e
In the evening the hay should be a
raked into winrows, and after- i
wards put into cocks five or six j
feet in height. If the weather is d
good the hay will be ready for
stacking or housing in two or
three das. It is a great saving
t ityunder shelter, hence the
necessity of large barns.
Intimately connected with grass
growing and hay-making is the e
daiy business. At a future time E
I my ofera few hints upon this t
subject. My father established
in the mountains of Georgia the
first cheese dairy; in the manu
facture of cheese he had fifty1
head of fine milch cows.
Let our men of the soil awake
from their Rip Van Winkle sleep,
be true to themselves and we can
and will be an independent people. ~

I have shown in a prvious
rticle in this paper that the
kouth could, with sufficient labor
nd capital, produce ten times as
iuch cotton, for one item, as it
ow produces. This alone would
qual the value of the present
gricultural output of the entire
ountry. When all mankind be
omes as civilized as European
eoples are now and wear as
iany clothes, it will require 50,
00,000 bales of cotton to supply
lem. If the South keeps up its
iresent proportion of the world's
otton supply it will sell 38,000,
00 bales, which, at present
rices, would be worth more than
11 our exports of wheat and
ieat. Something like this is
mue also of the cereals, of t0

The Edior and His Readers.
The relations between the edi- a
tor and his readsra have often'
been discussed. They are, how
ever, by no means as important y
as the relations between the ti
editor sad his wife, which the
Bainbridge Democrat defines as
follows:
"The editor and ' is wife dis-l
eewith each other very mater- -
ilyShe sets things to rights
and he writes things to set, She
reads what others write and he
writes wn-t others read. She
keeps the devil out of the house I
as much as possible and he de-|
tans him and could not go to:
press without him. She knows
more thiLgs than she writes and
he writes more things than he
knows."-E.

"The raising of broom corn is Ea

t is a crop that can be easily
ultivated, and grows best where
ative corn grows best, requiring
he same fertilizing. It does
est in bottom lands. In plant
og it, the rows should be three i
