llaiza.Aiircss on jnillo maize, by G.

W. Ik-neo- dt-Iive- before tlie StateAgricultural Society, Brunswick,Ga , Feb. 11, 1S85.

jjr. President and Gentlemen of theConvention:a lie criTina! name, in boacisb. is

Jlaize Millo; Millobeing procounced Meelyo

Whether it njight or migbt notbe profitable for you to hear, or i';rme to make a !ou cussertatioa upon Millo Alaizo, I will not presumeto ta.y, but probably not. Muohhas been written aljout it, which isaccessible to you all, but there iaone very itnpoitant development ofthe plant about whieu I have something to s iy and liope may be of interest: That is:ITS CANES FOU liOUGII STOCK FEED

AND now TO CURE THEM.

IMilllo cane, and when I say cane,it means it is feed, but when I say-stalk-

,

that designates its worthiess-ness- .

Miilo cane, then, in connec-tion with its fodder and grain, Ifeel assured its destined to performa most, if not the most importantservice to the state, iu fact, this section, where drouths do so great in-

jury. Indeed, I believe it can domore than it ever has done for usby any cereal.

This, then, is my task or pleasurethis day. What I shall tell you isnot theory taor speculation, butpractical experience, i. e., whatI have learned from those whoknow, what 1 know and have done.

At the outset, permit me to getright in one respect: I am wareacd have keenly felt the position ofa maBwho has an important factto press upon his compeers, a truth,very likely to rub against precon-ceived notions and possibly olleodthe prejudices of those upon whomhe wishes to impress the fact.Such is the questions of Millocanes! I say I appreciate this andtake the risk, for if you will not be-

lieve what I tell you I have done,and act upon it, and hope to be ableto eo tell, that every one of youmay "go and do likewise?" Then,indeed, we may sing the old saw of,"You can lead a horse to water, butyou can't make him drink."

The fact i, Millo canes are asgood roughness for stock as everbeen fed in Georgia.

I do not mean Millo forage, norMillo "fodder. I mean tho canes, aftcr the seed and fodder has beentaken from it. The fodder must bepulled and the seedtops cut off.The stalk must be stripped bareand then when with renewed vigorit has gathered its forces to attemptthe making of another crop of seed,it is in the right condition to besaved for feed. The' must then becut and hurried under shelter; butnot to be cured. The green foliageupon them will wither and dry acdtheir values will have returned intothe cane.

I dave fed ten head of stckthree horses and seven cows uj.onsuch canes exclusively for rough-ness, from Nov. 1st to date, andhave eneugh to last till April, andwhat 1 have was secured from a lit-

tle over a quarter of an acre.Understand ! Let rae emphasize

it. Caries for roughness I suchroughness as hsy, shucks or fodder.

In 1881, Millo failed to makeseed, but the crop yielded of fodderat the rate of 4,800 bundles (pulled)to the ace, and my tosk ate up thelast vestige of the canes, whichwere cut aud ted to tutui.

I had noticed with great interest,that after pulling the fodder andcutting the te ider tops, the planttelescoped sLoots and spurred outfolliage at tha Joints. Its vigor wasamazing. A light frost did notstop its growth nor hurt it; butferiD? that a harder one might, Icut and fed. It is now clear to methat those canes having failed tomake me seed were in full heart forfeed.

My subsenuent crops ot 1SS2 andS3 were satisfactory as to seed, butthey exhausted the plant and thestak were dry and worthless. Ac-

climation was shortening its seasonfor maturing seed, but it did notoccur to me mat in tuestalks would be difierent from thoseoflS82and 'S3. S, after cuttiugthe sepd heads the lat'.er part ofSeptember, aud telling my man hecould use the stalks lor covermgmy potato patch, imagine my eur- -

ise, in a few days, to and tuewhole field dressing itself in green,some of the shoots growing a footlonu and a few canes making newhead-form- s for seed. I was carefulthen, in my examination and wassatisfied that the canes were full ofsucrose and nutritious matter. Intact I know no better description ofits condition than to compare it tosugar cane, which we kuow willkeep.

I am net a chemist, but imaginethat its sugar plays an importantpart in preserving the canes fromtrost, and it 'may also prevent itsbecoming absorptive, which by favoring alternate moistening anddrying, finally rots the stalks.

Ihis, however, we do not know,the weather has besn warm and coldduring the winter, some severe coldand much easterly damp wind.These cases have not noticed thechanges of the temperature norweather, and are almost as fresh today as when rut under cover inOctober la-- t; while a small lot of exhaustcd stalks were exposed to theweather aDd they rotted.

My notions as to the tirno whenand how to save the cases lor 'feed

t 1 a 1 .1 1.

wouia seem to ue suonn in wuathas already been stated, but I willmake it plainer, if I can, in onesentence.

When the seed has matured, cutthe tops (thus securing the headswith a handle) then pull the fodderand strip the stalks bare. X w,with a few weeks to frost, in a fewdays the cane will show a nature'sciesir to do it again. Let the foli-

age prove that the cane is full of sapThen it is time to cut a fad gst the'cane under cover, without curing.Place them lengthwise, closely to"ether, out of the wind and sunRemember! Do not cure them. Ifyou do, they may spoil. I do notknow that they can spoil, but thereis no need to cure tuem.

I shall He glad 10 answer anyquestions, which I may be able to,

quested ine to be at your experiencemeeting t, which I will do,and have with me seventy-fiv- e

Now, Mr. President and gentle-men, if you will be ir with me, Iwould like to traverse briefly

MILLO MAIZE AS A WHOLE.It is tits ordinary and favorite

grain lood of tne laboring classesof the U. S. Columbia, Soutii Arnt-r--

ca, and is grown from the 6eacoastto the altitude of 4,000

The analysis of the seed show itto be nearly the same as wheat,about tha same in feed value. Itmakes lees and more middlings thanwheat. It is nearly twice as productive, pound for pound, as corn.The plant requires about the sameas corn, but to confine its yieldof grain, year after year, phosphoricacid and potash must be supplied.It requires rich soil, must have it;must have warm soil and be plantedwhen the grouud is warm.

With corn at SO cents a bushel,Millo ought to be raised at 50 cents,and I believe there is no use towhich corn meal is put, to whichMillo will not apply.

Millo, ground coarsely, (it is avery hard grain) its grits to thehorse and mule, its bran and mealto the cow, with the cane for backbone--

IL C. White.Of course a change of diet is

good for woman, man and beast,but except for a chango of diet, 1believe the stclc of Georgia can bewell kept upon Millo and its pio- -

ducts, if corn, oats, and hsy weredropped from our list of produ-tions- .

Do not misunderstand mc. Il isnot ray proposition to cease thraising of coin, oats and hay. No!I wculd have Georgia as fat as shecan be. I would like to see every

our stock in perfect conditiou, butmore of it, and kept at le3 cost.

MILLO WILL DO IT.T repeat, however, that if I ha l

no grass, (and sometimes that is thesad fact) nor any corn nor oats, norbian, our hoises, mules and cowscould be run exclusively upon Milloand ;ts product: and I waut to seenext spring the faces and hear testimony of those who have fed Millosoed heads next year to their hogs.The hog and fowl do thier owngrinding.

I am fond of variety like it andwill have it. What are we all inpart down here in Lrunswick for?I say: I will be perfectly satisfiedwith you all, even if you don't raiseenough to feel eui, and some

go d corn, too; by good I mean, formercy-sak- e do not fool away anymore time pulling corn fjdder anddecreasing the weight of your corn,and you may cut enough grass tomake your places look neatly, andin thii way, supplj' from j'our ownfarms the means for that chtnge ofdiet with Miilo, thus putting a stopto this bringing of corn, oats, andhay from other states.

Millo says: You need not dothat any more.

Remember, Mill grows, drouthor no drouth. It is a sure crop.

It gives you excellent green stutf,when in a summer drouth, as manyknow,all other vegetation gives itup.

It will quires a little more care, alittle more time, and rich, warmsoil to plant and cultivate it in, andto harvest seed, fodder and canefrom successfully. But what havewe to credit it with?

Nearly one half the cost of corn.No more corn fodder pulling.No more tribute for baled hay.No more scrimping on crab-gras-

Less wheat and oats.And indefinite increase of hog

and poultry raising.There is more to be said, and

I trust more to be learned, aboutthis valuable plant, hut that isenough for one time.

Mr. President and gentlemen:Why send your thousands for corn,bacon, and hav, when here is anutrions, palateable grain, fodderand cane, which "laugh at yourdrouths, and onty asks a fair trialto save you mil that bleeding drinupon your resources?

"YY hy, J uave been, and am feed- -

inr, my sioc wuu inese canes,hich cost me, in one sense, noth

ing, while hay is to-da- y .$24 a ton inMarietta.

I believe it settles that terribleword forage. I remember howround tnat wora staring ueorgia inthe face over six years ago whencame to dwell among you. Muchstudy and experience witn variousplants has tried my patience sorelyintrving to find escape for us, butI abandoned the search, as manybefore me had done.

Now if any of you can appreciatemv gratification when, on January1, 13S5, the time which I had set asa two months test of Millo cane forrough feed, I found I could tell the

good news. I believe you will pardon an enthusiasm which appearsto nave 6U-,l- i a backing.

I know what my eyes have seen.I know the excellent condition of

my s ock.I know some little of the many

oenents wuicn Alulo will bring tomy ff! low farmers of Georgia.

I know, that with a patch of richsou every man ia Georgia can doagain what I have done this winter.

I brlieve that a barn of Millocane will out feed two barns of thesize filled with any kind of roughness.

An acre of Millo ought to make50,000 to 70,000 canes, and they cutaae, in a uuy cutter, should teedroughness to twenty head of stockfor tire months.

Millo will enable the farmers ofGeorgia to make more of every-thing.

My friends, if you will take holdof Millo earnestly, and all together,you will work a revolution forour grand old commonwealth.

May God speed the day whenyou make

MILLO A UOME STAFLE CROP.

Delegates asked Mr. Benson:"Whether this cane was all that

he fed to his stock, and what W38the condition of his stock?"

Mr. Benson replied:"I am glad you put these ques-

tions; it affords me opportunity toread testimony. Of course, cane isnot all I fred stock no more thanhay and fodder, or other roughnessis all. I feed my horses tho sameration of oats that I fed the winterbefore with roughness, and my cowsha.e the same ration of bran. Pre-viously I have fed my cows a smallquantity of cotton seed meal withbran and forage, but this winter Ihave held strictly to oats for horses,bran for cows, and cane as rough-ness for both, for the test. Thecane takes the place of hay, fodderand roughness. In fact, they arefeed as well as roughness. I willtake the liberty of offering"here thestatement of A! r. Winter, of Win-ters & Legg, Hon. "Mr. Session, ourmayor, and Maj. Hughes, of thegovernment cemetery. Tha latter,General Phillips, you know, is au-

thority ou milch cowa and Jbutter."TESTIMONY.

The undersigned visited Mr. Geo.W.Berson's home for the purpos oflooking into statements about MilloMaize. We examined his stock,seven head of cattle aud threehorses, and they were in good orderand evidenced good keepingthrough the winter. I J is large barnloft was filled with hay aad otherforage, which evidently had notbeen touched lor feed. Indeed, wesaw two bales of which Mr. Benson'sman told was bought ia September,and that ho had had no call to usethem nor any of the hay, or any-thing else in the barn since the firstday ofNovember, at which time hecommenced feeding the stock withMillo canes, and has fed only thosefor roughness since that day, andthinks he has enough of the canesto feed until the middle of April.

We examined the canes a.id theyappeared to be as freh and sweet,almost juicy, as wheu they wereput up by la6t October.

We also ata light bread andbread made like corn bread of Millomiddlings, which vras excellent, andthe milk from the cows was alsovery good, J. Venter-;- ,

It looks like our folks never willget rich. Somehow or other theycan't make the first $1,000. If theymake it they can't save it. An Irishman was asked how he managedto get so rich and he said he neverbought anything that he was notobliged to have, but bur people reverse the rule and buy most everything they are not obliged to have.That is the way we do at our homesand most everybody else that Iknow of. We have got rich folk'swith a poor man's purse, and so welive on a strain. It is a curiouscircumstance in tins lite, tnat tliefolks who would be charitable withtheir money haven't got any surplusto 2ive awar. Their very habits offree living and generosity preventthem from accumulation.

Infact, he said that it was second onlyto the Declaration of Independence.It was promulgated December 2,1S23, by Jame3 Monroe, the thirddemocialic president, in his seventhanuual message. It says:

"The citizens of the United Stateschc-ric- sentiments the most friend-ly in favor of the liberty aDd happi-ness of their fcllowmen on that sideof the Atlantic. In the wars of theEuropean powers, in matters relat-ing to themselves, we have nevertaken any part nor does it comportwith our policy to do so. It is onlywhen our rights are invaded andseriously menaced that we resentinjuries to make preparations forour defense. With he movementsof this hemisphere we arc of neces-sity more immediately concernedand by causes which must be obvi-ous to all enlightened and impartialobservers. The political system ofthe allied powers is essentially dif-ferent in this respcet from that ofAmerica. This difference proceedsfrom that which exists in their re-

spective governments. And to thedefense of our own, which has beenachieved by the loss of so muchblood 'and treasure and matured bythe wisdom of their most enlighten-ed citizens, and under which wehave enjoyed unexampled felicity,this whole natiou is devoted. Weowe it, therefore, to candor and totho amicable relations existing be-

tween the United States and thosepowers, to declare that we shouldconsider any attempt on their partto extend their system to any por-tion of this hemisphere as danger-ou- r

to our peace and safety. YY iththe existing colonies or dependen-cies of anjr European power we havenot interfered and shall not inter-fere. But with the governmentswho have declared their indepen-dence we have, on great considera-tion and on just principles, acknowl-edged we could not view any inter-position for the purpose of oppress-ing them, or controlling in any oth-er manner their destiny, by an Eu-ropean power, in any other lightthan as the manifestation of an un-friendly disposition toward theUnited States..

Small E:js Easy on Cats.Cats is an insect that has no

wings, and it has a long tale. Itlooks like fish wurms, only fishwurms hasn't got no hair on it likecats has. Cats is bUck, and sets onback fentses and buzzes its wings,it hasn't got any. Cats 'cs like lo-

custs 'bout this, scept locusts 'esgot wings an' cats waves it talze'bove its head and don't set on tree.Cats was a Nameriken invenshunmade by a Mr. Pharaoh, of Egypt,Illinois, 'bout one thousand yearsago or so; I expect it was so,' ormebbe more so. Anyway, this mandidn't get no patent on cats andthey was copied by soma fulish menwho carried them to NeYT Yor!.jwhere they have ruled things atBight with a tight pair o' stringsfur sura daze. Cats has a humpback with long bristles onto it. Ithas a pair o' lungs, which extendsclean back to its tale which is long.It uses all o' these lungs in Bingin'low, sweet melodies to the pail, watery mune, 'bout one o'clock in themorning. Cats sumlimes sets onthe comb of a slippery roof, an'sizen sobs an' squalls an' strokeseach other's whiskers. Cats usestwo legs to set on, one to stand on,an totuer to lan uis partner wuu.I know two cats whitch did this onour wood shed. I guess they did itbecause they thought they wouldshed.

When I say ' this, I don't meanwood shed, but would shed. I knowthey got up there to shed for Jackand me found half a hatful o' catfuran' a pocket full o' claws there thenext taornin'. YY'onder why theydon't shed in the day time? Mustbe the mune had sumthin' to do it.

Cats, unlike the ther insecks,don't have no stingers. The bum- -

belbee has. I onc't caught a bum- -

bslbee an' giro it to a cat. Catslon't like bees, espeshly them whathas splinters in their talze, whichthis had. The thing stung all theway down an' halfway back again;that cat run about seventeen milesan' then dropped down by the 6hadyside of a stayhack an' quickly without warnin , he hastily died a sudden death all at once, lor want 'breath.

Onct when Jack an' me was play- -

in nsuin in our wen witu a iom- -

cat tied to a string, Jack got hurt.lie had the cat down in ihe well,waitin' for a bite, and when hisbaek was turned it crawled up thebrick curb an' clawed the sap outeDhim. After that Jack didn t fulewith cats.

I once knew a man who was wicked enough to throw a stove lidthrough a big tom-ca- t at night, andthe very next day da heard that hiscrandmother had broken uer leg inNew Orleans and several other plac-es, whitch proves how wicked andsinful it is to disturb the critters;aad that's all I know about cats.

Ssnthera Prasparity.Some time ago Ex-Gov- . Cutler, of

Rhode Island, announced that thesouthern mills were selling theirtextile products 15 to 20 per cent.cheaper than the manufacturers oflike products in Rhode island cansell goods. He admitted that it wasa sharp and bitter competition, andVi said we have all we can do toprepare to meet southern ' competition where they can run their lactories 24 hours per day. Mr. ChasII. Merriman, a well known m.tnufacturer. said that the southernmanufacturers are going to make'itrerv warm for the northerners, andexplained that they run their millsright through the day, not stoppingat noon; that fuel is cheaper, name-ly 75 cents Der ton: that milder climate saves coal; that from one totwo cent3 cer pound was saved mthe transportation of cotton; thatthev can deliver their goods asv

cheaply in St. Louis and Chicago asthey can be delivered ia New York.Mr. Merriman further said that thesouthern markets had already cap-tured the trade in coarse goods andwere preparing to contest the tradein finer goods. These sentimentsare by no means exceptional. Theyhave been heard frequently before.It was not 12 months ago that NewYork merchants petitioned PoolCommissioner Fink to modifyfreight rates so as to protect theirwestern markets against southerncompetition. Philadelphia Indus-trial Review.

The above facts are known andappreciated everywhere except in

anu yet no place nortn orsouth is better situated for thecheap manufacture of cotton andwoo!. Will our business men eyerwake up to action in this matter?

Cotton Scsi.The commercial world is begin

ning to wake up to tho fact thatcotton seed is very valuable. It iswanted at the oil mill; it is wantedin the fields as a fertilizer, and inthe stock yards it is wanted as afattening agent. The Planter'sJournal shows that it is worth asmuch as commercial fertilizerswhich are sold at $45 a ton. InNovember, 1883, when corn wasworth $1.11 a hundred pounds, cotton seed meal was worth '$2.32 andcotton seed itself $3.08. As feedfor stock, cotton seed was worth$41.50 a ton; as a fertilizer it wasworth $45. It is yearly becomingmore valuable and the time is fastapproaching when the cotton plantcould be raised under favorable cir-cumstances at a profit on the seedalone. - This is an immense changefrom the methods of treating cotton6eed before the war. Then all of itthat was not needed for replantingwas a drug. It accumulated aboutthe gin houses until it becomes anuisance, and when the nuisance became intolerable in the course ofdeootnposition, it was customary tomove the gin house rather than stirthe rotting seed. All such methodsare past and gone, and the seed isconsidered only less valuable thanthe staple itself.

It is a curious fact that cottonseed is better as a fertilizer afterthe oil has been extracted from itthan before, for it then assimilatesmore readily with the soil. It isbetter as a stock food after the oilhas been taken from it than before,for with the oil it is too rich.

"Your father's a drunkard,"Said pretty May Ball,

The scorn of her accentsNo language can tali.

She wound a gold chain'Eonnd hor lingers no fair,

And shook back the curlsOf her beautiful bair.

As she wiped tha bright tearsThat were falling like rain,

Ar Foxas Fond of tha Chasa.

There is a theory that foxes en- -

ioy bdng chased by the hounds andhunters. YV e believe ourselves matthey prefer the chase to beingcaught and torn to pieces by thedogs it's natural. W hatever iunor displeasure this sport may afford the foxes, it is safe to assertthere are a great many men inthis community who ennjoy it im-

mensely and engage in it frequent-ly, and to such the following ex-

tract maybe interesting: "A Geor-gia, paper laments the disappear-ance of fox hunting from that re-

gion and adds that since huntingwas discontinued the foxes haveleft the country. This theory isconfirmed by the observation of anEnglish naturalist, who says thatfoxes er.joy being hunted so muchthat they have been known in theecstasy of pleasure to turn from thetrack while pursued by the houndsand chase a startled hare.

A Produoa Stillicn Siaka.Spirit of the Farm.

It is gratifying, no doubt, to every lover of the trottiDg-hors- e in thestate to notice the interest you havecreated amongst our breeders byyour persistent enorts in this direction. Your suggestion to those whoown stallions to open a producestake is a move that should meetthe hearty approval of all trotting- -

horse breeders. If you will permitme, I will suggest tha following fortheir consideration:

Let the owner of every trotting- -

stallion subscribe $50 or $25 topurse for foals of 1SS5 or 1SS6, andto be trotted the fall they are two3Tears old over the track of any as8ocialion in Tennessee that will addthe most money; charge a nominalentrance fee, say $10; $5 lo be paidto the secretary of the TennesseeTrotting-IIors- a Breeders' Association when the foal is a year old andthe other $5 the day before the race

all of which is to go in the purseand only the produce of such

stallions whose owners have subscribed to be eligible to entry.

I think a stake of this kind wouldbe popular with all breeders; ilwould not only increase the patron-age of their stallions, but it willcreate an interest in trotting-horse- s

amongst the farmers; and, as yousuggested in the Spirit of the Farma few issues back, many mares,doubtless, are now pulling the plowthat under this system of producestakes would become famous asbrood-mares- . I simply make theserough suggestions fer your consid-eration and that of others interest-ed in this matter, to be put in such6hape as you and they th ink best,and will only add that, whateverthe terms are,you may count on Al-me- nt

jr.'a produce being represent-ed. R. C. Reynolds.

The National Stockman saysquite a fair percentage of the lettersof inquiry, as well as of the ordersfor fowls and eggs, that we receivecome lrom the ladies. And whynot? There is nothing about thecare and management of poultrythat a woman cannot attend to aswell as man. In fact a lady whohas a taste in that direction usuallyhas more patience, and a quicker in-

sight into these matters, than aman. If many of our farmers'wives only knew it, they cannot af-

ford to spend so much jf their timein the kitchen, when some one canbe employed to do the work therefor a sum much less than the profits of a fairly managed poultryyard would amount to not to men-

tion the renewed health and vigorthat this Jwork would surely bring.

The improvement of farm animalsis the must important duty, whichdevolves upon tho farmer; and itrequires, to be successful, a highorder f intelligence and the exercise ol great judgment. .The breed-ing animals should be selected withdiscrimination and be suitably ma-

ted to counteract certain defects, allthe time looking toward the production of a youngster that will bean improvement on tho parentstock. Especially uliould the malebe a typical animal; as, while hemay be the progenitor of manyyoung animals, the female will onlybe of one or at least two, unless sheis a member of the swine family.Although the females should be aswell bred as it lies within the powcr or the farmer to procure, it ismuch ea3ier and cheaper to introduce improved blood by the purchase of a high bred male. A good"male animal will improve a wholeherd. After all this, or rather,with this, must come the best ofcare, including good breeding, good

shelter and luxuriant and nutritiouspasture ranges.

The south even during the extreme depression, which at lastseems to be passing sway, has attracted a very large amount ofnorthern capital and now, with proper efforts, still more liberal investments of outside money can be secured by proper energy and enterprise. Men and money are not,however, likely to go where there isno sign of business activity or pushand so the towns or the states thatmake no effort to show up their ad-

vantages and resources will notbe apt to find much increase eitherin their population or wealth.Manufacturers' Record. YVill Pu-
