Soil—ordinary clay land with clay subsoil. Land cleared for fifty years and
longer.
Previous treatment.—Land had been manured the previous year with sta
ble manure and cotton seed, and rutabaga turnips, and sugar beets, and long
yellow carrots raised upon it. Good crops of all.
Preparation—Land well broken with a two-horse plow in January. Plowed
again in February and harrowed. Two articles of lime were used, viz.: Lee’s
Prepared Lime, and Printup’s Oyster Shell Lime. Composts were prepared as
follows : The lime was composted with cotton seed ; with salt and ashes ; with
salt alone; with nitrate of soda; and with muriate of potash ; and lime and
salt were composted with woods earth and pine staw. The composts were in
the following proportions:
1. Lime and cotton seed, equal proportions.
2. Lime, salt and ashes, equal proportions of lime and ashes and one
seventh salt.
3. Lime and salt, nine-tenths lime and one-tenth salt.
4. Lime and nitrate of soda ; two-thirds lime and one-third nitrate of soda.
5. Lime and murate of potash ; three-fourths lime and one-fourth muriate
of potash.
6. Lime and salt, and woods earth and pine straw ; 300 pounds of lime, 50
pounds of salt and a ton of woods earth and pine straw.
Numbers 1, 2 and 6 were dampened and allowed to to remain in compost a
month. Numbers 3, 4 and 5 weie mixed as used. The mixtures were applied
to sugar and Mangel Wurtrel and garden beets, garden and stock carrots, cab
bages, corn and cotton. All but the cotton were planted the middle of March,
and the cotton the middle of April. There was a long drouth running
through May. All the crops had three workings with shovel plows and one with
sweeps, and one working with hoes at time of thinning.
The difference between the two limes was not very much, though in favor
of the Prepared Lime of Mr. Alfred S. Lee, of Virginia. The Oyster Shell
Lime, of Printup Bros. A Co., of Port Royal, stands about the same, as it is
cheaper.

PLANS FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
Before the old year is entirely passed, the
farmer should be wisely aud cautiously plan
ing for the next campaign. In the South,
we have no winter quartern, but enjov only a
partial relaxation from the active duties of
the field. The wheat, oats, rye, etc., though
requiring little attention, continue to grow
through our short winter, and serve to re
mind us of the coming harvest of early sum
mer. It is well for the farmer to wind up
the year’s business as rapidly as possible.
Outstanding bills and accounts should be
settled as rapidly as pocsible. Now is the
time to cast up accounts—as the returns from
each crop are received—and strike a balance
sheet. But few farmers are in the habit of
keeping any sor of farm accounts. This
ought no' to be so. Very few fail to keep
some intelligible memoranda of amounts ad
vanced to laborers during the year. This is
found to be absolutely necessary to a proper
settlement at the end of the year. A debit
and credit account with each of the crops
cultivated on the farm, is just as necessary,
in determining which crop has been profita
ble and which unprofitable; and will often
develop the cause of the result, and enable
the prudent farmer to guard against errors
in the future, or still farther improve upon
the skill of the year just past.
It will be found a good plan for every
farmer to “take stock,” as the merchants
call it, once every year, sav on the Ist day
of January. By this means he may know
his financial status and how much be has
lost or gained by a year’s operations.
We have always found it very interesting
and profitable to keep a farm diary,in which
to set down, at night, the events of the day,
so far as they were of the least interest to us,
and especially those connected with the
business of the farm. At thebeginning of
each month, it is well to give a sort of gen
eral view of the condition of the farm, and
the progress made in the current work of the
season, the amount of land plowed, fencing
repaired, ditches cleaned out or opened, etc.
The value of such a record will increase
with years, until it will be accounted al
most indispensable. Who will try it next
year? We will be glad to hear from any of
our readers, who have been in the habit of
keeping farm accounts or diaries, short state
ment of their experience of the value of such
records, accompanied with such suggestions
as will be of service to others.
FARM WORK FOR DECEMBER.
If not already attended to, see that the
stock of all kinds have comfortable stables
and sheds to proteet them from cold, wind
and wet. A few days labor and the expen
diture of a few dollars in necessary lumber
and nails, will suffice for the erection of
such buildings as will pay for themselves
over and over in the saving of food, and of
ten the very lives of the animals themselves.
It is one of the peculiar advantages of our
sunny climate, tnat expensive, massive
barns are not necessary. They should be
sufficient, however, to protect all the live
stock kept on the farm.
POTATOES.
The fall has been rather unfavorable to the
proper maturing of this crop, so as to insure
Keeping through the winter. As the cold
increaws, the covering of earth on the hills
should be increased, until, by the middle of
the month, it is at least a foot deep. A uni
form, moderate temperature and perfect dry
ness, are the essentials to success in keeping
potatoes.
The Christian Index and South-western Baptist: Thursday, December 11, 1879.
HOG KILLING TIME.
This is ,ar ezeelJenee, the month tor this
business. In our last, we gave some direc
tions about scalding. We will only add
that it is poor economy to kill hogs to save
corn, unles* they are pretty fat. Hogs
should be killed early in the morning, and
after hanging on the gallows until dry, im
mediately carried io the meat block and cut
up. This operation should be performed
under the immediate supervision of the mas
ter, and he should be a willing expert in
trimming and packing. As the pieces are
cut out, they should be well rubbed with
fine salt and spread out singly on shelves in
the shade, each piece being covered with a
thin layer of salt. Next morning the pack
ing should bogin. Put a layer of salt in the
bottom of the vessel, then a layer of sidja,
next the joints and over all, the remainder
. of the sides—chinking the open spaces with
■jowls. Each piece should be well covered,
and all interstices filled with salt, so that the
whole shall be a compact mass of meat and
salt. A teaspoonful of salt petre rubbed on
each joint will add firmness and high color
to the lean parts and help to make the salt
strike. Covering the vessel with green pine
tops is practiced by many farmers, to keep
out the fly and warmth. These minute pre
i cautions are necessary only in those sections
where there is generally more or less risk
j of losing pork on account of warm spells.
In about three to four weeks,meat ao pack
ed, will be sufficiently salt-cured to hang up
for smoking. If the weather, at the time of
Killing is very cold, and continues so two or
three weeks, it is best to let the meat re
main in salt somewhat longer.
In January, we will give our experience in
drying or smoking meat. Those fanners
who will hang meat before Christmas, are
generally too well posted to need any hints
| from us.
COMPOSTING.
. This is a good time to haul up material
that has been accumulated during the fall,
and have it ready for composting. There
.should always be handy—under shelter—
plenty of dry absorbents with which to litter
! the stables. See that the cotton seed are
kept dry until shortly after new-year, when
< it will be time to compost them.
SYRUP MAKING.
Many farmers in the more southern por
tion of our territory, will be engaged in this
sweet work before this is printed. The cane
should have been cut just before an expected
freeze, and put in beds, unstripped. The
main ;>oints to be observed in syrup making,
are thorough skimming and rapid boiling,
until the syrup is nearly done. The object
to be attained is a light colored, thick,
smooth syrup— without sugar. A thick,
dense syrup will, sooner or later, deposit
more or less sugar, unless preventives be
used in the process of boiling. For this
purpose, we believe it is usual in refineries
to add to the boiling syrup a portion of tar
taric or some other vegetable acid. The acid
prevents crystillization. Would not common
vinegar answer? Dornestie candy makers
often use it for this purpose.
ORCHARDS.
Scrape away the earth from the base of
|>each trees, so that the parts infested by
borers may be exposed to the freezes of win
ter. Take care that the rabbita do not des
troy the young apple trees. They may be
kept away by rubbing the frets with pieces
of hog liver, or other bloody offal, or a dead
roMit. The trees are rarely attacked until
mid-winter or later, and in pruning, the
twigs which are left lying round the trees,
will secure the latter from injury, as the
rabbits will not touch the trees so long as the
more convenient twigs last.
IMPORTED IDEAS.
One of the draw backs on improvement
«nd progress in Southern agriculture is the
tendency to rely upon Northern and Euro
pean varieties o’ grasses, cereals and renova
ting plants, as well as methodsol culture, etc.
For instance, sheep folding on turnips. In
England, this is practiced as a preparation
for wheat. In our climate, and with our
peculiar crops, a field that is rich enough to
grow turnips, is rich enough for all practical
purposes. But the chief difficulty is that
turnips, as a field crop, are not sufficiently
certain to be relied on. Our fall season is
often too dry to secure a stand and a remu
nerative crop, Another error is the effort to
grow clover in the Gulf States, or at lenst in
the southern half of them. Instead of tur
nips, we have the native sweet potato —infi-
nitely better in every respect than turnips,
and exactly suited to our climate. Instead
of clover, we have the cow-pea and Bermuda
grass, both at home in our climate, and easily
grown on any soil. In this connection, we
cannot forbear to notice the disposition of
some Southern writers to magnify the Irish
potato as a table vegetable, while our own
sweet potato is infinitely superior in every
point, save one— keeping quality. Give a
hog—a candid judge—choice between Irish
potatoes lying on the surface, and sweet po
tatoes a foot deep in the soil, and the field
will be well subsoiled before the Irish will
be touched.
IS ALUM POISONOUS?
Its Use in Baking Powders Condemned
by Dr. Hall's Journal of Health.
Dr. Hall's Journal of Health, in a recent
issue, says:
"This question has caused a good deal of
discussion. Alum is used by a good many
bakers to whiten their bread, enabling them
to use an inferior flour. It is more exten
sively employed as a cheap substitute for
cream of tartar in the manufacture of bak
ing powders. It has not been considered
immediately dangerous; although if con
tinued it induces dyspepsia and obstinate
constipation. But the fact that many cases
of poisoning have occurred from baking pow
ders which contained alum, puts the ques
tion in a more serious aspect, and prudent
people will exercise caution in the selection
of baking powders.
"Under what conditions, then, does this
substance—formerly used only for mechan
ical or medicinal purposes—become poison
ous? They are certainly obscure, and at
present we can only surmise what they may
be. We suspect that the cause exists in the
individual poisoned; some peculiarity of the
constitution producing some morbid change
in the secretions of the stomach, with which
the alum combines and forms an a.five
poison ; or the secretions inay|be healthy but
in unusual proportions, and that these less
or greater proportions, in combination with
the alum, constitute a poison.
“ For example, two parts of the mercury
and two parts of the chlorine form calomel,
which is not poisonous ; but change the pro
portion to one part of mercury and two parts
of chlorine, and we get corrosive sublimate
which is a deadly poison.
“Then, again, we know nothing of the
causes of the constitutional peculiarities.
Why it is that one person can eat all kinds
of green fruits and vegetables with impuni
ty. while the same course might cost an
other individual his life? One person cati
handle poison ivy and sumac without being
in the least affected; another is poisoned il
he approaches to within ten feet of them.
Out of a family residing in a malarial dis
trict, some of its members will suffer half
tlie year with fever and ague, while others
will enjoy excellent health during the entire
year. Foods that are whol-sonie to some
persons are actually poisonous to others.
This is especially true of some kinds of fish.
There is no safety in taking alum into the
stomach, as it is shown to be al ways injuri
ous, ami often dangerous Baking powders
properly compounded, and containing pure
cream of tartar instead of alum, are more
convenient than yeast; and bread and pas
try made with them are just as wholesome,
and far more palatable. We are in entire
sympathy with the manufacturers of the
Royal Baking Powder—who commenced
and are vigorously conducting the war
against the use of alum in baking powders.
"Before committing ourselves, however,
we made tests of a sufficient number al bak
ing powders to satisfy ourselves that the I
substitution of alum for create of tartar in j
their composition has not been over-estima
ted, while a careful examination of Royal
Baking Powder confirms our belief that Dr. I
Mott, the Government Chemist, when he
singled out and commended this powder for
its wholesonieness, did it wholly in the in
terest of the public.
"We do not hesitate to say that the Royal
Baking Powder people deserve the gratitude
of the community who n they are endeavor
ing to protect.
“Will not some prominent manufacturer
of pure candies follow their example, and
expose the secrets of a business that is doing
untold mischief to little children ?”
