PLANTATION TOPICS Fattening Animals for Market. —ln another portion of the Journal we have given figures showing the shipment of cattle to Chicago, and in connection therewith we wish to say a word oirthe fattening of animals intended for mar ket. It is undoubtedly the fact that large amounts of money are lost each year from allowing animals to depend upon the grass too long before they are put regularly on corn. Then perhaps with a view of hastening the fattening, or perhaps to make up for the flesh lost by being kept' on too short or par tially dry pasture, the animal is fed all it can consume of corn, and instead of gaining in flesh continues for a time actually to shrink in weight. For the reason that the animal cannot at once assimilate this concentrated food when fresh from the grass. Their systems must lie brought to the changed conditions gradually. Hence the economy of feeding corn early and in small quantities each day, increas ing this feed gradually until the ani mal can properly digest a full feed. Over-feeding costs the feeder as much as the profits come to, and hence the large number of farmers who will seriously assert that there is no profit in feeding, and who go on from year to year raising grain and selling it for other men to make money out of by feeding to stock. If there were no money in feeding cattle those who make a business of buying droves and buying corn to fatten them would soon find it out. There is no doubt that the real science in feeding any kind of stock is in never allowing them to get thin from the time they are born until they are fit for the butcher. Very many of our breeders and feeders understand this, and very many practical feeders hold, and that with truth, that feeding with grain should be continued during the summer and while the animal is on grass. There is no doubt but the allowance of a liberal quantity of ground feed during the summer in connection with grass is the wisest economy when the animal is to be turned off the succeeding w inter or spring. Those who wait until cold weather sets in before giving their fattening animals what grain they will eat clean and digest, necessarily have to feed enough more to compensate for the waste in keeping up the animal heat; for a certain portion of the food con sumed is burned to keep up this supply of animal heat—much more in winter than in summer, and more in the case of a lean animal than a fat one. So an animal having grain in summer, when the waste is relatively small, is more quickly and economically finished in winter than one not so fed ; and for the reasons, first, the animal is fatter to begin with, and second, it has more fat with which to resist the influences of cold. Flie ordinary farmer can not too soon begin to take lessons from our best stock-men, w hen once they get an animal into their possession never thereafter let it fail in flesh, but keep it steadily improving until it is fit for the shambles. An important consideration in the winter feeding of stock, whether fat tening or store animals, is providing absolutely dry quarters, and as warm as circumstances will admit, whether in stables or sheds. While stables are preferable on many accounts, warm, drv, well littered sheds are preferable for other reasons, especially when cat tle are fed stock-corn, with hogs fol lowing as gleaners—a most economical plan in southern lowa and central Illinois and Indiana, where the win ters are comparatively mild. Another important point and one indispensible, is that plenty ‘of pure water should always be on hand. Forcing stock to take water at long in tervals through holes in the ice of some pond never made fat stock, or put money in the pocket of the owner. It is one of the most vicious practices the feeder can adopt, and costly to the packet. Vicious, because brutal to the dock. The other reason we have heretofore given. If running water is not always near it should lie pumped from wells into troughs w r here it may be accessible. A better plan and easily accomplished would be to force it di rectly into* the stables or shed yards. This is perfectly feasible in these days of windmills and steampporer,w r er, and cattle need never become feverish from thirst, nor get the ague from over-drink ing ice cold water. They fatten kindly and easily. Where fat cattle are made are rich farmers. A stock country is always a rich country. — Fatin Journal. The Grange in England.— At the annual social science congress of Great Britain, the earl of Roseberry, president of the association, after speaking of the various unions to be found in the United States, such as ilie Sons of Toil, the Brethren of Labor, the Sovereigns of Industry, continued thus: “But incomparably above these towers the gigantic asso ciation of Patrons of Husbandry, commonly called the Grange ; a great agricultural co-operative, independent union. Its progress has been amazing. Its first grange, or lodge, w T as formed in the last month of 1867; there are at this moment 20,500, with 1,311,226 members. At the end of the year it is certain that they will have 30,000, with 2,000,000 members. The order i- practically identified with the agri cultural population of twenty-six states, and with two-thirds of the farmers in t n others. In Missouri alone there are said to lie 2,150 granges; they are making way in Canada. Pennsylva nia began the year with sixty lodges, and at this moment she has 500. V* by this enormous increase? The answer is simple, for it is alleged that membership adds not less than fifty 1” 1 1 en *; h> the income of the gran gu>. The California grangers have tlmir own fleet, and ship their corn I hl< “ <, , t wwY IKM>I, l >y wWe.h they saved $2,000,000 in freights in the year 1873. Their vessels brino- as return cargoes, tea, sugar, coflee? silk and other commodities, which are re tailed to members at cost price; and a system is 1 icing organized by which their ships return with loads of every foreign article which they may need. They are thus an independent mer cantile nation. But they are more. They have a social, religious and po litical as well as co-operative aspect. They have a secret password, renewed annually. Grange banks, grange plow r manufactories, grange grocery storas, besides grange poems, grange burial services. They declare that they are going to labor for the good of man kind, of which they intend to raise the standard. They mean to secure obe dience to the laws and general brother hood ; and on the other hand, to sup press fashion, bribery and selfish am bition. Their very success has made them run into extravagances, but that success is a social symptom we cannot afford to disregard.” The Farm Laborer and Grange. —lt is a mistaken idea that the only person eligible to membership in the grange is the farmer who both owns and tills his land. The man who makes agriculture his business, though he doas not own a single rood of earth, is just as eligible as the man who owns a thousand acres. The constitution says that an applicant for membership must be “engaged in agricultural pursuits, and have no interest in con flict with our purposes.” The consti tution does not say that he must own the land he tills; he must be engaged in agricultural pursuits. The employe on the farm, known as the “hired man,” is entitled to membership as far as agriculture is concerned; and if he toils upon the farm all the time, how can he have an interest in conflict with our purposes ? Of course the employe ought to be a man of good habits, and one that can be trusted. AVith these qualifications, God forbid that any thing like caste or strata in society shall keep him out. The writer of this well knows the honest laborer on the farm—patrons, do not ignore him. We are sure you will not —we are sure you have not; for the trusty man at your plow or with your stock is a farmer’s friend indeed; and with your selves make up the bone and sinew of the class of which the order, to be permanent, must be composed. Farm owners, if you find your help compe tent, upright, useful and to be trusted, encourage them—whether male or female —to enter the grange. Once there, their interests are your interests; what they save helps you, what they learn is for your benefit as well as their own. Further, the ties of the grange will make them more compe tent, upright and useful, if possible, than they were betore, and besides they will be more likely to stand by you, and remain with you, than were you to make them feel as though they were but little better than your cattle. May God bless the faithful farm laborer, say we ; we know Allah will help the farm owner who treats his help with the consideration that one ought to treat every person who has a living sold. — Farm er’s Friend. The Alabama grange has appointed a committee to visit the farm of each member of that state grange, and to report in writing the state of the grow ing crops; condition of farm and fences; quantity and condition of stock ; method of cultivation ; rotation of crops; kinds of crops raised and the varieties of each; varieties of fruits raised, and the general condition of farm buildings. These reports are not for publication, unless the owner de sires, but are to form the subject of discussion at future meetings. Such grange work. cannot but be profitable to the community in w hich it is situ ated, and could be imitated by other granges with benefit. The Cause of Smut in Wheat. This is the season for sowing wheat in the south, and every one who at tempts to raise a bushel of this grain should know how to prevent the growth of smut, which is a foul and blighting parasite. We regret to see a mistake made by Mr. Lynch Turner, chairman of a committee of the Pulaski grange in this state, appointed to examine into the cause of smut in wheat, having a wide circulation in agricultural papers as a matter of fact to be relied on by farmers. The report of this committee was first published in the Rural Sun, with editorial indorsement. The mate rial part of the report is copied into the Rural New Yorker which says: “This is an important subject, and one which granges, farm clubs and individual farmers throughout the country should investigate. This association of farm ers recently becoming so popular and successful, inaugurates anew era in the progress of American agriculture,” etc. The error into which a half dozen agricultural papers have been led, and the Pulaski grange committee in the first start of this nominal investigation, has its origin in the tact that aH these intelligent and respectable writers for the press entirely overlook the careful observations and studies of men of science, aided by microscopes applied to the investigation of parasites on wheat during the last two hundred years. This is one among a thousand cases where book knowledge has great value to the farmer to prevent serious mistakes. Not to do Mr. Turner a seeming injustice, we copy from his published report as follows: “This is a small, brownish hug, about the size of a buffalo gnat, which makes its appearance soon after harvest times, and deposits its eggs in the cleft of the wheat grain. These eggs are, of course, sown with wheat in the fall, and when germination takes place these eggs are, of course, sown with the wheat in the fall, and when germ ination takes place these eggs are en veloped in the plume and carried upward in the ftituro growth of the stem until, perhaps, the latter part of May, when those conditions favorable to insect life obtain, and the larva* arc hatched, aud may lie found in one or more of the lower joints of the stem— rarely above the second from the top. At harvest time, they may be seen with the naked eye.” No one has shown that the eggs of insects circulate in the microscopic sap vessels of wheat and other plants, nor through the smaller pores in the cells of plants. Animals and plants live on wheat simultaneously ; but a smut-bug no more produces smut than children that eat wheat wheat bread. All see the absurdity of saying that the life in a horse can produce the life in an ear of corn, making an animal the father and mother of a well-known grain. But the black mass of smut that often grows on the seeds and stalks of corn, and in the seeds of wheat, oats and barley, is as much a plant as any cereal can be* and like cereals has germs de rived from parents, which reappear in offspring, descending like the vitality in man himself from one generation to another. Two species of smut-fungi are propagated by slovenly farmers in the seeds of wheat —one, the uredo sejetum and the other uredo feetida. The spores of these parasites arc killed by washing seed wheat in strong brine, and letting it lie in brine an hour. Should it remain in brine too long it w ill destroy the life of the wheat and render the seed valueless. Nothing is easier than to infect clean wheat with smut, and raise infected plants, with no bugs or other insects near the plants. Thousands of experiments of this kind have been tried. In 1846 Gen. Harmond, a distinguished red wheat grower in the town of Wheat land, New’ York, showed the writer a head of smut wheat with small live bugs in the seeds, like bugs in English peas. He claimed that the bugs caused the smut. We made a plenty of smut with the bugs left out from his seed. Take a sack in which smutty wheat has been handled, and put into it a quart of as pure wheat, washed in Milestone, cliamberlie, or whatever else you please, that does not kill the germs in the grain, having the salts to kill the smut, washed off, and the sec ond infection from the sack will be perfect, and the harvest a crop of smut as w ell as one of wheat, when the quart of seed has been sown in the usual way. Nothing is easier than to raise a crop of cockle, a chrop of cheat and a crop of smut by planting the seed. The parasites known by the names of rust and mildew are not so easily prevented; they are, however, blights that belong to the same class of enemies. Draining swamps and clean culture tend to dry the atmosphere and keep at a distance those micro scopic cells and germs that produce malarial diseases in man and his do mestic animals, and very similar mai adies in all plants whose seeds and fruits form human flood, and that of cattle. Potatoes for Horses. Nearly every winter, when I have my horses up in stable, I think I will call the attention of your readers to the practice of feeding potatoes to their horses. I once came near losing a very valuable horse from feeding him dry bay and oats with nothing loosen ing. 1 have never believed in dosing a horse with medicine, but something is actually necessary to keep a horse in the right condition. Many use pow ders, but potatoes are better, and safer, and cheaper, if fed judiciously. If those who are not in the habit of feed ing potatoes to horses will try them, they will be astonished at the result. I have known a horse changed from a lazy, dumpish one to a quick, active, headstrong animal, in five days, by simply adding two quarts of potatoes to his feed daily. If very much clear corn-meal is fed, they do not need so many potatoes, Too many potatoes are weakening, and so are too many apples. When I was a lad, I was away from home at school one winter, and had the care of one horse, one yoke of oxen, and one cow, every one of which I had to card or curry every day. The horse had three pails of water, four quarts of oats, two quarts of corn extra every day he worked, with what hay he w r anted, and a stronger and more active horse of his inches I have never yet seen. — Cor. Country Gentleman. Giving Their Hair a Rest. — The hair is to be worn down, after the manner of the “ Pre-Raphaelite ladies,” as they are called in London. They originated the fashion of loose hair, and the mode has yielded, settling lower and lower till to mass your hair in a ribbon upon the nape of the neck, after the whole length has been plaited and then loosened out into the ripples produced by its confinement in close strands all night, is to argue yourself not acquainted with the London haute mode. The front locks are short, and either lie down in a “ forehead fringe ” or are “frizzed” and hang over the eyes. The only departure from the pendent frizzes or rippled hair is the style which bears the unpoetic name of “door-knob.” This is purely and sim ply the hair of the weaver, without any addition to its luxuriance or want of luxuriance; a plaited knob midway between the top of the head and the nape of the neck. The belles of the day tell us that the hair is taking a rest.” The style will last a while, they say, long enough to improve their tresses.

THE WONDERS OF MODERN CHEMISTRY; Sarsaparillian and its~Associates. Changes as Seen and Felt as they Daily Occur after Using a few Doses of DR.’RADW AY’S Sarsaparillian Resolvent. THE GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER’ 1. Good spirits, disappearance of weakness, lan guor, melancholy; increase and hardness of flesh and muscles, etc. 2. Strength increases, appetite improves, relish for food, no more sour eructations or waterbrash, good digestion, calm and undisturbed sleep, awaken fresh and vigorous. 3. Disappearance of spots, blotches, pimples; the skin looks clear and healthy, the urine changed from its turbid and cloudy appearance to a clear sherry or anther color; water passes freely from the bladder through the urethra without pain or scalding; little or no sediment; no pain or weakness. t. Marked diminution of quantity or frequency of involuntary weakening discharges (if afflicted that way),o4th certainty of permanent cure. Increased strength exhibited in the secreting glands, and func tional harmony restored to the several organs. 5. Yellow tinge on the white of the eyes, and the swarthy, saffron appearance of the skin changed to a clear, lively, and healthy color. <>. Those suffering from weak or ulcerated lungs or tubercles will realize great benefit in expectorating freely the tough phlegm or mucus from the lungs, air cells, bronchi or windpipe, throat or head; di minishing of the frequency of cough; general in crease of strength throughout the system ; stoppage of night sweats and pains and feeling of weakness around the ankles, legs, shoulders, etc.; cessation of cold and chills, sense of suffocation; hard breathing and paroxysms of cough on lying down or arising in the morning. All these distressing symptoms gradu ally and surely disappear. 7. As day after day the SABSAPARILLIAN is taken, new signs of returning health will appear; as the blood improves in strength and purity, disease will diminish, and all foreign and impure deposits, nodes, tumors, cancers, hard lumps, etc., be resolved away and the unsound made sound and healthy ; ul cers. fever sores, syphiltic sores, chronic skin diseases gradually disappear. 8. In cases vliere the system has been salivated,and Mercury,Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate (the prin cipal constituent in the advertised Sarsaparillas, as sociated in some cases with Hyd. of Potassa) have accumulated and become deposited in the bones, joints, etc., causing caries of the hones, rickets, spinal curvatures, contortions, white swellings, vericose veins, etc., the S ARM A PARILLIA N will resolve a way these deposits and exterminate the virus of the disease from the system. 9. If those who are taking these medicines for the cure of Chronic, Scrofulous or Syphilitic diseases, however hlow may be the cure, “ feel better,” and find their general health improving, their flesh and weight increasing or even keeping its own, it is a sure sign that the cure is progressing. In these diseases the patient either gets better or virus of the disease is not inactive ; if not arrested and driven from the blood, it will spread and continue to under mine the constitution. As soon as the SABXAPA HI 1.1,1 AX makes the patient “feel better,” every hour you will grow better and increase in health, strength and flesh. The great power of this remedy is in diseases that threaten death—as in Consumption of the Lungs and Tuberculous Phthisis, Scrofula, Syphiloid Diseases, Wasting, Degeneration and Ulceration of the Kid neys, Diabetes, Stoppage of Water (instantaneous relief afforded where catheters have to be used, thus doing away with tiie painful operation of using these instruments), dissolving stone in the bladder, and in all cases of Inflammation of the Bladder and Kid neys, in Chronic cases of Leucorrhea Uterine diseases. In tumors, nodes, hard lumps and syphiloid plcers ; in dropsy ; in venerial sore throat, ulcers, and in tu bercles of the lungs ; in gout, dyspepsia, rheumatism, rickets; in mercurial deposits—it is in these terrible forms of disease, where the human body lias become a complete wreck, and where every hour in existence is torture, wherein this great remedy challenges the astonishment and admiration of the sick. It is in such cases, where all the pleasures of existence ap pear cut off from the unfortunate, and by its wonder ful, almost supernatural, agency, it restores the hope less to anew life and new existence where this great remedy stands alone in its might anil power. In the ordinary skin diseases that every one is more or less troubled with, a few doses will in most cases, and a few bottles in the more aggravated form, work a permanent cure. Those afflicted with chronic diseases should pur chase a package containing one dozen bottles. Price $lO per dozen, or $5 per half dozen bottles, or $1 per bottle.
