I BEGGAR WEED, OR DESMODIUM. ' For several years past a now forage plant has been attracting the attention of farmers in certain di-tiets of Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and all who ( have put it to the test of culture arc loud < in its praise as a most valuable acquisition, j Originally it was known for common as | "lJoggar's Jjiee," but some who do not seem ( to regard the last word in the name as stand- ^ ing entirely in keeping with the refinement nnd modesty of the aec, have dropped it t and substituted "Weed;" therefore the plant now usually goes by the common name of ' cither "Heggar's Lice" or lieggar Weed." The tiluiit under ? /?-? I "<>- J modi ion, and hence Dosinodiiini is tlic name t by which it ought to bo known for com- ( uion. Of course, I need net argue the j point as to why. Tho common names most ( generally applied arc meaningless and-ridic- ( ulous in the extreme, while Desmodium is tho correct scicutific name, the generic name , by which it is known tp- scientific poople throughout the civlUre^ world. Then, it means something, being formed from the (Jreek signifying "bound," which refers to | tho manuer iu which the seeds are bouud , together. i There are at least twenty species of Dos- i modium native to tho Southern United | States. They class with tiie Jj'yuminosic. , and all are more or less valuable as feed lor ' stock. The species under cultivation, as , already mentioned, is known to botanists as | Desmodium moffc, a name given to it by ( Do (Joudollc. It is indigenous to Middle Florida, but seems t<> succeed very well ill < any of the adjacent Slates. Dr. tlhapmaii describes it in Ins "Flora of the Southern States" as follows : "Stem tall, much branched,softly pubercent; leaflets rhombic or elliptical, obtuse aud ofteu omargiuate, touieuiose beucath, rough above; racemes panieled, slender; flowers, two or three together, on slender pedicles ; legume nearly sessile, black ; the small joints oval or rhombic, equally connex on both sutures. Stem three to five feet high. Leaflets three to four inches long. Leguuic one inch long, pendulous." Rendered into plain farm talk this would i mean that the plant grows to from three to five feet in height, taking upon itself a ( branching or butiohiug habit something like that of the cotton plant. It is covered ' with soft, downy hairs. The leaflets are . oval or obhoig, rather bluiit at the extiom- i ity and notched ; they are downy beneath and rough above. Flowers three or four together in loose bunches. Seeds, blackish, hanging iu a string, jointed together, but j easy of separation. Tliev are somewleo half moon shaped. and. being covered witli j sharp hooks, they readily attach themselves to one's clothes and become separated from each other or from the parent plant, ?ke. I speak with confidence as to the species of l>esutodiiun under cultivation in consequence of the fact that I havo been studying it. carefully for several years. Both plants and seeds have been sent to mo for identification from Florida, Georgia and i Alabama, by persons cultivating it as a lor- : age crop, and in every instance 1 have read- ; ily recognized the specimens as I)exmo<h'ttm ; viof/e. Some writers have mentioned the I "Beggar Weed" as I)< *>u odium cni.cucnis, but this was, I am satisfied, an entire mis- t take, for Cauescens, one of our most com- < inon species, would not be at all suited for ; cultivation.

The document earnestly besought he Postmaster's assistance in electing Garield and Arthur who seem to have settled JoWn to business, and gone to work at collecting with commendable promptness. It ippealcd for aid on the ground that the I nucipics ana ]merest (proonuiy a mis[irint for princi/oo/ and interest, or possibly i pun) of the party supplicated to. required [lie continuance of tho Republican party in power, and that money was necessary to accomplish that end; and contained an intimation that that commodity was at present subject to "scarceness."

An I.m pout a nt Lesson kiiom tiie I'ast.?There are lands in some sections so largely composed of the mineral elements required by wheat, that many years ot continned cropping will hardly show deterioration when the inorganic matter furnished liy clover alternately grown is supplied; but leterioration will in time surely follow.? i'herc is no soil that has proved more enluring for wheat than a calcareous clay loam of alluvial formation. 8uch is the haracter of a large portion of western New York, aad yet the alternate cropping* ivith wheat and clover has in past years resulted in cxhau-tiou of the mineral properties of the soil. To relate my own experience will corroborate this fact.? My farm is a heavy limestone soil, underlaid with lime-rock; the soil being from one to ten feet in depth. From the early cultivation of the land, which was about 1820, up to 183G, winter wheat was grown continuously, without clover or any fertilizer except the little manure made in the barn vard which was onlv drawn mi iln? l-m.l I/* get it out of the way around the barn. A >out this period, from 1835 to 1837, there appeared to he a general failure of the crop, from that time we began to sow clover to enrich our lands, and with great success. The system of wheat and clover in alternate years was followed, and with such abundant crops that we thought it could never fail ; but after following the system some ten years our wheat became ioss fair and plump, and while the growth of straw was in most cases increased, the yield ol grain was less. The clover also began to fail ami it was ditlicult to get a good seeding. We continued or in the same course of wheat and summer fallow till 185 ( and '55, when we met a total failure. Still having an abundant growth of straw, the straw became weak, so that it would fall down before the grain was ripened, and ilie grain would be shrunken. We attributed the failure to an insect, but it was the unhealthy condition of the crop that invited the insect, or that made its destruction possible. The speciality of wheatgrowing was from this time discontinued, 1 . - I - 11 % ma 11 more ruuuuai system ul unxcd ii bandry adopted. A lew years later the use of mineral fertilizers was found to be necessary to restore >ur lands to their former productiveness, no! now so common has the use of such fertilizers become that but little grain is lown without tlu in, and the average vi-'.t I wneat mi tue past tnrce years has been greater than in any like period in the previous ipiarter of a century, ami fully up to the average of earlier times, when we stood number one as a wliea'.-growing section.? All productive sails contain a given otiantity if elements of plant-loud, and all grain crops carry away a portion of these elements, ind if not restored there must lie dctcrioritimi by constant cropping, and while clover is largely beneficial in bringing the crude elements into a condition available to the wheat crop, it cannot restore what i> arricd away by it. If either of the elements of piantlood is exhausted there caniot be a perfect crop grown, and it is the rue notice of ili? l'. j ... mil iunion* aniiuiUy to his soil the elements nee led which liis *rop earrk-s away. 1*' IV 11 out.

J) KT Kit lOIt ATION OF ltlCII IjANDS.? ! There are few planters in South Carolina who have not been told of the lincst cotton ' lands in the world?the swamp lands on both sides of the Mississippi Kiver below ' Memphis. At the breaking out of the war the cleared lands of that section yielded, on 1 a gcuciat avci.igc, OUI> puuuils ul' Itilt cuiluu to the acre, and the planter, in summing up ' the yield of his pluutuliou, always spoke of making from eight, to ten bales to the hand, and he who did not manage to gather at least eight bales to the hand was regarded as a poor planter and unsnitcd to the occupation of planting. At the annual meeting of the M ississippi Valley Cotton Planters' Association, held at \ icksburg a week or so ago, (icneral Moore head, the President of the Association, himself a planter in the once rich and fertile County of Washington, stated that "the present average yield does not exeeed three hundred pounds, ami probab/i/ two hiim/riil ami jifty, or even two hu ml red jiounds, would better represent it.'' j , These lauds which once grew cotton ten feet high and which were supposed to he iin x- ' 1 " . \ \ . i i ? uaustioic, 11 win no soon trom lien. .Morehead's statement, have deteriorated throefourths in twenty years, 'j'u the loose met hod of planting, the disorganized labor system, since freedom couie out," and the neglect of the planter to feed his lands, taking all of) and putting nothing back, can ! this slate of affairs be traceable. What a commentary this is upon the method of farming in the Old World. Lands there that have been under cultivation for a tlmu S 'lid years are to-day, many of thcui, more productive than when the ploughs first turned up the virgin soil. There is a lesson in "all this for the South Carolina planter and farmer who is year after year burning 1 up the soil with "gwano."
