FOR tftik TER It is estimated from the reports of cotton which has gone forward, and the probable quantity still on the plantations, that the product of the crop of 1885, will he about s* -and a, half millions of bales. It is to be de plored that this large production of the staple has enured to the benefit of a few of the rich planters alone, The most «uiarkahle butter yield ever known was made during the week ending March 1st by the Jersey cow Princess 2d (8046), owned by Mrs. S. M. Shoemaker, of Riverside Park, near Baltimore, Md. The yield was 299$ pounds of milk in seven days, from which wa6 produced 44 pounds and ounces of butter, and which when salted amounted to 46 pounds And. ljj ouno^. This performance \fOfTtmokr the a unices oPvi gpdfcial riq&n Jersey ihiii rice are the Oiiiy grains Used eX cjnsively as the food of man; but taking the whole population of the United States the production of wheat exceeds 300 quarts per capita, of rice it barelv reaches o: P 11 1 and those who handle the cotton, while, four-fifths of the producers have wasted their time, money and energies and been brought in debt in growing and preparing it for market. In times past, propositions were made for holding cotton conventions to in fluence planters to grow loss, that by smaller yields the price would be made more remunerative. It is unques tionably true, that a six million crop would yield nearly as much money as a six and a half million crop. Thou sands of planters would fail to realize profits even if a crop reached only live millions of bales. We have been personally cognizant of a farmer obtaining less than 500 pounds of lint from a twenty acre field planked in cotton. Nothing can be accomplished by cotton conventions. Everything depends upon the individual planter’s management. Just think of a man toiling from the breaking up or 20 acres of land to the gathering of less than a bale of cotton from the whole. Well this is an extreme case of failure. Still there are such cases. Every farmer has his destiny in his own hands. He can fail or make, just as he lacks thought and discretion or pos sesses them. It costs as much to work poor land as rich land. It is easy to count the cost of feeding a horse, breaking up an acre, and plow ing it through the crop season. A farmer ought to know the capacity of his land and he ought to know how many bales of cotton it will take to meet the expense of cultivating 20 acres of land or any other number of acres. He should never plant a field without knowing its capacity to yield with reasonable seasons. All axe lia ble to be subjected to the adverse in fluences of bad seasons, and in plant ing, good judgment would cause one to make allowances for bad seasons and so pitch a crop as to be able to come out even, that is to close the crop without a positive loss. It is very simple to do so if the farmer has any judgment to guide him. If he knows he cannot cultivate a field with out positive loss it is the supreme of folly to cultivate it. We say that the constant failures of fanners is owing to the want of reflection and judgment. One year with another, every farmer ought to terminate his year's work with a profit, and certainly, without loss, if he has any rich land put his his corn and cotton in that. If it is all poor, instead of cultivating 20 acres to make a bale of cotton, or two bales, take live acres, put all liis niauure up on them and make five bales. He ean work the five like a garden, never let the crop suffer for a moment. Go over every 8 days lightly. His cheeks and brows will not then be coveted with the sweat of toil in the hot sun, to be followed with pain and anguish of failure and loss at the [end. The rains will descend upon his acres, moisten the manures around the roots of his cotton, and w r itli the de posits of ammonia w T ill give them strength and vigor to fill the stalks with bloom and boles to cheer his heart and reward his labors. The great secret of success is in cultivating less acres, enriched with manures, and never permit them to lack, fora single day, the hoc or the plough to give to nature's works the finishing stroke. This is the way to succeed in the delightful and honorable business of farming, that business upon which every country is chiefly dependent for its wealth and prosperity. The farm er ought to be a happy man when he looks around upon his home, his blooming fields, his flocks and herds, and can say ‘'all these are mine,” and they, too, with the groves and flowers and rivulets glittering in the sunshine leads him to adore their omnipotent maker. »%ge*-«ir w juilker, rfe yi^iin^’ over committee of the Americ CaWB miflub, JJie feats ^ at o.Oo p. in. on Run da unday evening, February 22, when the cow was milked in the presence of the committee, in order to clear the udder for trial. On the Monday following she was milked at 3 o’clock a. m.. which, prac tically, was the first milking for the experiment, and during the '4fPlar- to»ng3 nterval experiment, anu during tne ca wee of the teat «he wa»aiil ked re ly tU#ee times a da*\ (he hours 1 A.

She was milked at intervals of eight hours for the reason that her udder would not hold the milk she was capable of producing in twelve hours. The butter was carefully weighed, and salted in the proportion an ounce of salt to each pound of was proc of milk. a fraction ofer 42 pounds and 12 ounces daily, or about 21 quarts, wLilr lici avciogc tloily prodiwtion of iMsUer was a fraction over 0 pounds and , If ounces, or at the rate about one pound of batter for every I’d pounds of milk. To giye it in quarts we will state that a pound of butter roduced from less than 34 quarts The first four days of the test she produced 25 pounds and 5 ounces of salted butter which is great - ter than the records of many remarka ble cows for a whole week, and during the latterihree days o# her tfeptjfeher produced fl pounds aod.’T ounces of unsalted butter. The feeding,during the test wo#d< regularly, and consisted daily of tw ty two quarts of grouud oats, fifteen quarts of pea-meal, one quart of wheat bran, and two quarts of linseed oil cake (forty quarts), with as much hay, carrots aud beets as she could eat. This amount is a large quantity; but the cow has excellent digestive capaci ty, her appetite was constantly good and she always showed a disposition to consume all that was allowed her. She is a young cow, being only 8 years old, having been calved on Feb ruary 22, 1877. She was sired by Khedive, a Comassie bull, her dam be ing Princess, a cow of the Welcome strain. Her weight is 1125 pounds, and she dropped her last calf on De cember 31, 1884, or seven and a half weeks before the beginning of the test, and in order to prepare her for the trial she was given six weeks of very high feeding, which largely con tributed to her success. It will surprise some to know that there are 25 or 30 varieties of wheat and. with their sub varieties, caused by intermixture, there are perhaps, a hundred different kinds with mere shades of difference. All that fann ers generally need, is one or two vari eties of the winter and spring kinds. We know that the improved Flint stand high with experienced Agricul turists, such as the White May, of Virginia, the English Flint, the Wheatland Red, the Canadian Flint, the- Blue Stem and the Amber. The safest plan, both for winter and spring wheat, is to use that kind of seed which has turned out well in par ticular neighborhoods, let the name be what it may. Of course those wbo wish to sow "spring wheat should se lect such as is known to have yielded best in the region in which they farm, junket. As to manuring. especially for spring wheat, fresh brtrn yard ma nure at the time of sowing is consid ered unfavorable, making too rapid a growth of weak strftw at the expense of the grain and making the wheat , more liable tw rust; and rich alluvial soils are unfavorable for spring wheat. Lime and ashes in moderate quanti ties are good. Drilling wheat has in creased in favor but the trouble with -1 small farmers, whose only object is to get wheat enough for their own use, is the coat of the drilling machines. Without sucli a machine it is best to sow broadcast. It is found by large wheat growers to be bud policy to break up the land too deep, and the plan is to plow less deep than for corn. The harrow is also considered of great use to smooth and crumble! the clods. approach those amounts. Some sav’that”24 peeks are enough.] found it very tedious work, and seed but wheat growers generally use glad when 1 got. an average of a bushel and some five peeks to the acre. To prevent smutJ the seed should be washed (not soaked) in strong brine and two washings are better than one. These remarks are made for spring wheat. In due season we will present our views founded upon the mpst success ful growers of wheat,, of sowing in the fall. There ;tre shades of difference to be considered in the cultivation of winter and sj>ring wheat. What w have said aboft spring f heat is appb- cable to rye. only adding that light sandv land, that will not c will make good rye. Rye is more hardy than wheat aiuL-4vHi turn out well on laud that woukLnot yield good wheat, barley, or onts. There are va rieties cf winter and spring rye. For soiling and pasturing, two and even three bushels may be sown to the acre, and, if not too closely pastured will yield a good crop of BarL-y is also a white grain though in out section it _ •-rally sown in the spring. The land must be rich to produce good crops; special care must be taken to hO¥e the soil well plowed and pulverized. Oats are more widely cultivated than any other grain. While this crop does well on moderately rich soil, whether dry or moist, it gives the best results on rich land. Nothing pays better and the farmer can't get along safely without them. The fall sowing makes the he a’ yield of grains. flMU crop is often look farmer’s necessary wants.

HOW TO HARVEST AND HAN DLE. AND HOW TO MAR KET. Aiken Journal and Review. The somewhat numerous experi ments with upland rice in Aiken coun ty promise well at this date. As it is a new crop to most of those plant ing it, some facts taught me by my experience with it for the last five years may be of interest and ser vice. WHEN TO CUT. Unlike oats and wheat, rice should not be reaped until it is fully ripe. If cut green it is hard to cure and liable to heat in the house or stack. The grain will be light and soft; and waste in pounding, and make an inferior grain for the market. At the same time there will be greater difficulty in threshing and a considerable percen tage left in the straw. Rice is fully ripe only when the lowest grains in the head have passed througli the milk state, and are har dening. A want of observance of this fact will entail great loss. HOW TO HARVEST. Rice is cut with the rice hook or sickle, which may be had from any of the hardware merchants in Charleston and a few in Augusta. It should be cut about eight inches above the ground and laid in loose parcels with the heads resting on the stubble. It must be handled very gently, as waste is now to be met at every step" If well ripened twelve hours sun will cure it, and then it is tied up in bun dles, and shocked in the field. The shocks should stand two or three days and may be left as many weeks. Our upland rice does not ripen equal ly, that is, all at the same time, more especially where there is diversity in the character of the upland. In cut ting, the green hills should be passed over and left to ripen. This is a fact that must be observed, or else your whole crop will be damaged for the On the coast, I was told that a hand would cut an acre of one hundred and seventy rows of drilled rice in a day, and was paid a dollar for it. Our nee, with only sixty-live to seventy rows to the acre, is of course much easier to cut. But our bands are less expert, and_I have found ft diffi cult to average over aTialfacre to the band. THRESHING. Most of the rice m the low coun try is threshed with the flail, machin ery being’considered too'expensive for any but the largest planters. There, it is said, a hand williclekn from twenty to twenty-live bushels per day. But our hands, for want of training iu this kind,of work, wil net those amounts. 1 have For the! years I ha#e only cteane Ttee in this way, and for the b the crop used thC wheat thresh, difficulty with that is, that if ru tofull speed it Breaks and h_ rice to a ruinous .extent, rand if run at a good speed leaves toy m grain in the straw.

A new seedless grape has just come into notice in France. It is a table grape of the Chasselas family, and its seedless character makes it especially desirable for this purpose. In some sections the milk from the oow is not considered fit for use until the calf is at least six weeks old, it being ropy and injurious to the milk from cows that have lieen in longer flow*.

Last Winter it sold in Charleston for twenty^fcee cents per bushel. Where the quantity milled is sufficient to make it a matter of any consequence, it will be best to have the flour returned. I see no reason why rice curare should not become an important in dustry in the up- country.

Consequently sheep are almost a ne cessity on our farms. The best means of making farming pr6fltab!5 is to thm everything to ac count in some way and not waste feed on poor stock, and time in do ing useless things or by Idleness. The manure and materials which should be turned into manure are perhaps more than anything else on the average farm. There is no more important matter for the attention ©f the farmer than the saving^f uaan- urt 1 . and in enriching the ^gjl in every conceivable way. We need mo# good thoughtful farmers and fewer of those who do not study*their own interest to great er advantage. This is the reason that our section does not make more prog ress in wealth and prosperity. Our Section will continue to be poor until there is a change for the better. The change needed is for every farmer to make at home everything that he needs to support his family. He should make his own provisions for family and stock and then as much cotton as he can make without a loss. 1. Do not take a bath immediately after a meal; from two to three hours are necessary for digestion. If from mental or physical labor you feel exhausted, rest before going into the water. 2. “Cooling off” while undressed is contrary to all good sense. Cool off before undressing. Never leave the skin unprotected. If the action of the heart and the respiration have be come normal, after exercise, a warm or even moist skin need not prevent you from plunging into the bath; but, on the contrary, it enables you to en joy your bath all the more. A member of the Wisconsin Dairy men's Association has been making experiments to test the value of corn- fodder. which has matured a crop of corn, in comparison with hay. He found two pounds of stalks equal in feeding value to one pound of hay. The corn yielded fifty bushels of shel led corn and one and three-quarter tons of cured corn stalks, nearly equal iu value to a ton of liav. His experiments were in feeding the stalks uncut, and he estimated the waste at 40 per cent. If they had been finely cut the waste would have been much less. He states that enough com stalks are wasted in his State annnaily to keep all the four-footed animaL without the use of hay. ACHANGEOFSEBD. 11 is well known that seed of almost all kinds mature in Northern lati tudes better than in warm Southern dimes. Beans, Irish potatoes, peas, beets, indeed nearly all the seeds used in fields anil gardens may be saved without esseutial deterioration for two and sometimes for three years in the South; but. the reliance, upon them for a longer term will be at tended with inferiority in the product. On the third year when saved in a warm climate, squashes and other tender vegetables will be liable to de cay on the vines. This is the reason why many persons prefer to procure Northern seed: hut it is neither neces sary nor politic, to get those seed every year, when we consider the immense quantity needed for the many millions of people in the South, although a few dollars worth will answer for one * ily the annual purchase takes a 1; sum from the South, advise our readers purchase of these see. year, at least.
