C. Ramsay, Secretary. December not only winds up the field work of tlie farm for the year, but brings or ought to bring the farmer face to face with his debt and credit account. And it is all impor tant that lie should study these with as much care as any problem which ever comes before him in his farm life. It is perfectly clear, that if he is los ing instead of making money, he ought either to quit the business or else change his methods. That is ob viously the dictate of common sense. But it'is equally clear that before he can reach a conclusion he must know what his expenditures and debts, cm the one side, and what his gross in come on the other side are. If the former exceeds the latter he has lost money; if the latter exceeds the form er he lias made something. Now, it is comparatively easy to keep a gener al account of expenditures. One can tell what he pays out for labor—what for fertilizers and what for blacksmith- in g. He can allow, say fifteen dollars a year for wear and tear of each plow animal; so much for wear and tear of each wagon, and so on for the various implements used on his farm. Taxes and interest on value of farm stock he knows. These items cover most of the points under the head of expenditures, provided no provisions are purchased for running the farm, and enough are made to run it again the next year. It is easy also to keep an account of your gross sales. Now suppose the total expenditures just equal the gross sales, what has the farmer made or lost? He has made his house-rent, fire wood, bread corn, flour and other, perquisites of the farm. This with a family of any size, it is true, is not a small matter, bnt that shnold not sat isfy him; lie ought to make a good deal more, at least seven per cent on the cost of farm, improvements and implements. The perquisites men tioned above should go as an offset for his brain-work in planning and superintending. He is certainly en titled to as much for his personal work in this direction, as he could get if employed by some one else as a man ager on another farm similar to his own. But if the expenditures and gross sales just balance, and no profits ap pear. it does not follow that the farm er lias made no money on any of his crops. It very often happens that he makes a handsome profit on one crop of one field, and loses enough on an other to counter-balance it. Probably the greatest source of loss in our farm ing is the cultivation of land too poor to pay expenses. When every condi tion happens to be favorable; when spring opens early and frosts occur late; when gentle rains fall at good intervals, and the soil is well broken and well cultivated; when, we s&y, all of these conditions prevail, a crop yielding a little profit may be grown on poor land. But as every one is a- ware, the chances are greatly against such happy combinations; they do not occur once in ten years; and divid ing one moderate profit by ten, gives a very small annual average profit. In like manner money may be made o»a crop like oats, which requires lit tle labor and lost on one like cotton, which calls for so large a quantity of labor. In addition, therefore, to a knowledge of gross expenditures and gross income, accounts should be kept with separate fields and separate erops. This is more difficult to do than fixing up a record of gross expenditures and sales, but it can be done almost accurately, with enough perhaps to serve the purpose now under review. It is neither impossible nor very labo rious to enter the number of days’ plowing and hoeing given a {certain field or a certain crop—the quantity of manure applied to each, the num ber of days and number of hands em ployed in applying the same; and so of all other items connected with each These things not only can be done but they ought to be done. The farm er ought to know promptly what does not pay, that he max' drop’ it at once and what pays well, that he may press it more vigorously. If farmers generally kept records of expenses and knew exactly what they were making or losing, a very great change in the agriculture of the country would very soon take place. Much laud, now planted in'corn and cotton would be seen not to pay the expenses of culti vation and would be devoted either to pasture or sown in small grain. The result would be the concentration of labor anil manure on the best lands, and the utilization of the poor lands in the two ways mentioned above, viz: past lire and small grains. GRASSES AND SOUTHERN CLOVERS FOR GEORGIA. I am very much concerned on the subject qf grasses and raising stock. I want to change from the extensive j to the intensive system—invest mon- in manures in place of poor labor. I wish you would let me know what kind of winter and summer grasses | you think would best suit our climate. ! Do you think Texas blue grass would do here on land that will make from j 1,000 to 1,200 pounds cotton per acre? \ What kind of clover do you think j would suit this section, and would it do to mix with oats and some of the | grasses? What will a barrel of Ber muda roots cost, and how much will it set out. Do you know any kind of grass that is suitable, or that will do best on land that will make from six to eight bushels of corn per acre? Do you think orchard grass would do In re and Johnson grass, also lucern? Are there two kinds of Bermuda grass? What will it cost and how much will it taketoset out eight or x.-n acres in Bermuda—also where is the best place to get the seed or roots? Answer.— Bermuda and Johnson are the best summer grasses for your locality. Both are pests and almost ineradicable, but extremely valuable if given a deed to the land on which they grow. Of winter grasses, the oat and some of the fescues ; the one widely distributed some years ago In- Mr. Iv erson, of Columbus, Ga. are probably the best. We have never known orchard grass tried in so low a latitude and in soils such as prevail in your section. If there is lime in your soil, and it is also very rich, Texas blue grass may grow: we cannot speak positively. Of clovers, tlie an-HHEPHNMHI nual varieties will suit best—the crim'1 walked to this citv aonwnd the burr. It is also probable miles, and is now that the Spanish or Mexican clover (Richardson scabra) would do well with you. The two first named come up in the fall and could not be sown with oats; the last could, as it comes up in the spring. If it will grow as far north as you are (and it probably will), it is just the plant for you. ft is common about Mobile and in some parts erf Florida. On your poor land put Bermuda, nothing equals it for such land. There is only one kind of genuine Bermuda; some’other grasses resemble ft and are somet imes mistaken for it; eannot give data as to cost of Bermnda, etc. Lucern will grow well with you if the land is made excessive ly rich—not otherwise. It is of «eed to put it on poor land. W. L. .Jjjxi* A few mouths ago tlie Record chron icled the marvelous feat of Mary Ann i of St. Lamberts, who produced 35 ‘‘ pounds of butter in a week. Five j years ago a cow that could produce 20 j pounds of butter in one week was j considered a remarkable one, but that limit was gradually exceeded until the Holstein cow Mercedes reached 30 pounds a week, which stood unchal lenged until beaten by Mary Anne. Princess 2d had made a previous rec- ! ord of 27 pounds' 10 ounces of salted butler in < lie week, and, though pon- sideretl a si rong rival of Mary Ann« yet no on" wa- prepared for her last record! off iff pounds and 13 ounces, which i? 11 pounds greater than any be fin v attained. Trie result pttxvcs that we van assign nn certain limit to the ca pacity of our animals, for such a test gives but little indication of what lYincess would do on grass alone, but it demonstrates what can be done by good management. Although a large quantity of food was consumed, the cow did not waste it, but converted it into a valuable product. In that res pect she was a superior butter-produc ing machine, requiring no greater space nor care than an inferior animal, and demonstrating the importance of skill and knowledge on the part of those making dairy a speciality. She is also the result of judicious breeding, demonstrating the truth of the old maxim that “blood will tell.” Her famous record should stimulate im provement all over the country. waste HOG CHOLERA. Extent and Depth of Roots. I .have often been interested in not ing tlie ideas most people have as to how far and how deep the roots ex tend. The majority guess roots of grass and clover jrenetrate between live and ten inches, and are surprised to find that they reach several feet. I have some roots of timothy, clover and other plants dug from a very heavy clay soil, a good quality of brick clay, so compact and hard that a sharp knife in cutting it leaves a surface as smooth and shiny as it would cut on the end of a pine board. 1 have traced the roots of the timothy to the depth of two feet and four in ches and the clover three feet and two inches. A number of years ago a very intelligent German farmer, nam ed Welluhart, made some very inter esting observations upon the roots of plants as they grow in the field. An excavation of five or six feet deep or more was dug in the soil, so as to leave a vertical wall. Against this wail a jet of water was played by means of a garden sprinkler: the earth was washed away, and the roots of the plants growing therein lay bare, the roots thus exposed in a field of rye, in one of beans and in a bed of garden peas presented the appearance of a mat or fait of white fibres, extend* fng to a depth of about four feet. Roots of wheat sown on September -0 and uncovered on the 27th of April had penetrated three and a half feet anil six weeks later about four feet’ In one case in Hog cholera, says an experienced writer on the subject, does not origin ate spontaneously. It is a specific disease, as is small-pox, scarlet fever, measles, etc., and, like these other di eases, it only makes its appearance when animals susceptible of becoming infected are exposed to the contagion Filthy conditions and surroundings may render animals more susceptible to infection, and may favor the ha boring of the disease germs on ground? which have once been infected, but they are as powerless to start this dis ease as they are to originate horses, hogs or men. What then, is the remedy? Evident lythere is no remedy after tlie disease becomes epidemic among the animals, and it must be checked by at once killing out all infected animals, chang ing the quarters of the remainder, and resorting to a strict sanitary proftess of cleanliness and disinfection. It may be prevented by timely attention to the hogs, but not cured. ’ The same writer thus describes the symptoms and progress of the disease: “Vomit ing, diarrhoea, or coughing generally marks the first appearance of this disease. In some cases the appetite is good, in others poor or entirely gone. Usually the sick animal thirsty, for he is feverish, with a tem perature varying from 103 to 108 de grees until death, when it often goes below 100 deg. Red, watery, over sensitive eyes affect particularly the younger pigs. The ears droop, the head hangs low, the back is humped, the hind parts stagger from side to side, the belly is tucked up, often ten der to pressure, while the softer por tions of the skin on the inside of the thighs, along the belly and behind the ears, show reddish or purple patches. The skin is usually dry, wrinkled and often scales off, particu larly on the ears. Constipation of the bowels is often very marked in tlie earlier stages of the disease; later on diarrhoea commences, and continues until death. Hogs with cholera gener ally seek the shade, where they will lie on the belly for hours, having no disposition to move except when thirst compels them to seek water. The percentage of loss is the TVfiraculous Escape. \V. W. Reed, druggist, of Winches ter, Ind., writes: “One of my custo mers, Mrs. Louisa Pike, Hartonia, Randolph Co., Ind., was a long suf ferer with Consumption, and was given up to die by her physicians.

The roots of the wheat in April constituted 40 whole plant. Hon. Gould, 1 believe it is, eays that “he lias seen the roots of Indian corn ex tending seven leet downward,” and Professor Johnson states that “the roots of maize, which, in a rich and tenacious earth extend but two or three feet, have been found to a length of ten or even fifteen feet in a light sandy soil.” Roots of clover, when growing in a rich, mellow soil extend far, both laterally and verti cally. Professor Stokcbridge “washed out a root of common clover, one year old,'growing in the alluvial soil nsar the Connecticut, river, and found that it descended perpendicular to the depth of eight feet.” Lucern roots are said to reach a depth of twenty and even thirty feet. Alderman Meclii, in England, tells of a neighbor who “dug a parsnip which measured thirteen feefrsix inches in length, but was unfortunately broken at that depth.”—Professor O. W. Atwater in American Agriculturist. Croquettes of cold fowl and rice are very nice. Boil one-half pound of rice.

Prof. White, in charge of the ex periment farm at the State University, lias made a valuable test of the effect of pulling fodder. The grain, he finds, loses more than 80 per cent, of its weight when the fodder is stripped from the stalks.
