Horse manure, which tins tho liquid mixed with it, will very surely burn so as to injure it if nothing bo mixed with it. Tho host and the most nvaihiblo material to use for an absorbent is fine dry muck; not wot muck, but well dried. It should ho dug out sov- oral years before used, and to make it fine nnd dry, it should bo spread on dry land, say two or threo feet thick, and the plow and cultivator run over it often enougti to prevent tho growth of Wli grass or weeds. When it gets fine and dry it should ho put under cover, where it will be bandy to tho cattle, ami where it will -bo perfectly dry. With such material at hand the farmer can save all of tho waste materials of both tho house nnd barn Hint have in them tho elements of plant food. It requires hut a very small quantity of this material to absorb tho liquids of tlie farm or to prevent the escape of ammonia. But when tho fanner attempts to prevent waste by carting to liis barnyard large quantifies of green muck, lie makes a great mis take, for it will not absorb the liquids, and it. to a considerable extent, injures the solids; first, by delaying decomposi tion when applied to the soil, and second by filling the soil with an acid tliut is in n state to injure rather than benefit plant growth. THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE IN AMERICA. ‘‘An expert of the Powell irrigation survey claims that the irrigable lands of the Central Wert, now wholly l>ar- ren, will make eight states like Indiana.” This statement is depressing agricul ture in the North. Indiana now mak* > 71,400.000 bushels of corn and 47.S28.000 bushels of wheat. Duplicate that eight times over and you will understand what n burden of overproduction of com and wheat the farmers of the North anti West will labor under. Already in many parts of the West corn is burned ns fuel because it cannot be sold at Let tlie incoming tide of foreign farmers occupy tho immense unsettled tract— furnishing eight rimes the arable land of Indiana—let them go to raising corn and wheat, nnd it is easy to see what the result will is*. How different is it with the farmers of tlie South. Here we have a monopoly of the lso( money crop that is grown from the soil. A territory fifty times the size of Indiana may be "added to onr farm area, lint it does not increase one pound the yield of cotton. This is tlie Southern farmers’ monopoly. The South will and must remain the world's supply for staple. Twenty years ago the foreign supply of cotton was nearly equal to the American supply. But the foreign sup ply lias decreased 2,000,000 bales, and the American supply lias increased 4,000,090 bales. Egp t, Brazil, India, Russia— none of these can compote with tho Southern States of America in supplying tlie world with cotton. It is our monop oly. It is what God gave us when lie intended that these states wo all love so well should come into their inheritance at last, even though they come through travail and sorrow. This method of treatment for smut in wheat and oatsis worth $1,000,000 to tho farmers of Michigan, and in proportion to tlie crop, is valuable in Georgia. It is taken from Bulletin 87 of tho Michigan Experiment Station: MOTHOD OF TREATMENT FOR SMUT IN WHEAT, Have two kettles of water not more than two 'eet apart. Kettle No. 1 should contain warm water (from 110 degrees to 130 degrees Fahrenheit.) Tlie water in kettle No. 2 should be heated to 135 degrees Fahrenheit, "The first is for tlie purpose of warming tho seed preparatory to dipping them" into the TJif second. Unless this precaution is taken it will be difficult to keep the water in the second vessel at the proper tempera ture.” The seed to lie treated should bo placed in a sack that will allow the water to pass through reudily (a coarse di gunny sack is good.) According to the size of tho kettle, tho sack may contain from one-half to one bushel. A less amount will make tlie process slow and a larger amount will be unwieldy, and some of tho kernels may escape treat ment. Dip tlie wheat into kettle No. I, lifting it out nnd plunging it in two or three timos. This process will take hut a minute or so. Now dip .it into tho second kettle with water at 134 dogroos or 135 degrees; keep tho vvlioat well stirred. Perhaps there is no better way than to lift it out and plunge it in sov "''"i This should he continued ten eral times, or fifteen minutes, according to tho tern poraturo of tho water, and then spread out to dry. A second person should reg- late tho temperture of the water and do nothing else. Probably it will lie found host to have a fire under kettlo No. 2 sufficient to raise tlie vvuter to 145 degrees or 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and then add cold water to reduce it to 134 degrees or 135 degrees Fuhronhoit when tlie seod is put in. If at tho end of ten minutes tho tem perature of the water has not been re al need below 133 degrees, the seed should lie removed and dipped into cold water. If below 133 degrees Fahrenheit, it should be left in fifteen minutes or even longer if tlie temperature should fall below 130 degrees. FOR SMUT IN OATS. The treatment is essentially the same for oats except that tlie temperature of tho water in kettlo No. 2 should be 13(i degrees or 140 degrees Fahrenheit when tlie outs are put in. If at the end of ten minutes tho temperature is not below 135 degrees, the oats should be removed and dipped into cojd water; if below 135 de grees they should be left in fifteen min utes, or even longer if tlie temperature falls below 135 degreos Fahrenheit. When taken out dip in cold water. Tho hundreds of experiments con ducted in Kansas, Indiana and other ex periment stations with treated and un treated seed sown side by sido, have shown tho practical value of this liiothod. Professor Swingle and Professor Ar thur tell me that tho farmers who have tried it in Kansas and Indiana are en thusiastic in its favor. Had all the farmers of Michigan treated their seed last spring, there would have been saved to the state more than a million of dol lars. The farmers who raised twenty acres of oats with straw, promising fifty bushels per acre, received only forty-five. In other words the farmer loses 100 bushels of oats. This is a low estimate, for in no case whore farmers actually counted the smutted stnlks did the per cent fall below 8, and in many cases it readied 20. Tho loss on tho Collego farm this year will not lie less than 350 bushels. The cost of treating is very slight compared with tlie damage done by the smut. Three persons fa hoy and a girl to regu late tho temperature of the water, one man to do the dipping and another to pre- Burial Cases Metalio (Jasee, Caskets and Cof* ins, of any Quality and Grade, al- pare the grain for dipping aqd S’ it to dry) can easily treat enough seed in a day nnd a half to sow twenty acres. One man and a boy can heat enough for ten acres in one day. The kettles and tank of cold water should lie arranged on one side of a post equally distant from it in tho following manner: One end of u pole should be fnstetiod to the post. Tlie sack can bo tied to the pole so that it will come directly over tin* kettles as the mnn nt the end of the pole swings it from one to the other. This will bo found a very convenient way for lifting and plunging the seed to se cure thorough treatment. The farmer who treats his seed will save several times the cost of treatment the first year. KEEPING SWEET POTATOES. The failures many farmers make in keeping sweet potatoes through the win ter is because they first let them get too hot when first dng, and afterwards allow them to lie chilled by cold—both condi tions being fatal to the sweet potato. First, dig the potatoes at the right time. We believe it is jnst as erroneous to dig an unripe potato for keeping, as it is to pull an unripe ear of coni for plant ing purposes. It is liest to dig just after the first "killing'' frost, if the i>ototooa are ri[>e. They are generally ripe about that time. Examine them, and upon breaking some of them the wound turn* to a dark or blneish color, thev are not ripe, and it will not do to dig them. But if a milky substance runs from the wound ami dint's over it. they are ripe and shoirtll be dug. Second, don't let the potatoes get wet either by rain or dew after they have been dug. Third, smooth off the ground when' vou wish to locate the hank. Put a layer of corn-stalks on the smooth sur face as thickly as yon can. and cross-lay with another layer of stalks. Spread over the stalks aUmt four inches 0M>iue straw or any other kind of straw. Next, nail together four planks or boanis. f <ruiing a hollow. Bore holt's iq each side of this tolerably thick; stand it o end in the center of the straw aud pile the potatoes around it. Put a layer of straw over the (lotatoea, and a layer of corn-stalks, sitting on end*, over if Cover tlie stalks with dirt, spading;; from clone around tlie bank, tutreby forming a ditch to turn tho \v«t«r from the jK'tatoes. Be sure to let the top' ena of the boards extend a little abhve tho top of the bank. Leave the top open until a rain or cold snap cornea, then cover with a piece of plank until tl weather moderate i. This hollow fur nishes a channel through which air can readily reach tlie potatoes all around tho conter, and should be kept open as much us possible while tho weather is moder ately cool, but as winter approaches it should he kept closed. Potatoes always go through a sweat after being banked, nnd air distributed through them is very essential. FARMERS AND FAILURES. Pin up two facts to be considered when yon aro discouraged: Thoro are fewer business failures among fanners than among any other class; more men begin without capital and become owners of good business iu farming than in any other vocation. There is one part of the farm that is not benefittod by drainages; that is tlie manure heap. REMEDIES FOR CHOLERA IN HOGS. A correspondent of tho Ohio Fanner ENIGMA. ascribes the immunity of his swine pons "ibi from cholera to tho liberal use ho makes of wood aslies. Ho does not think the lUilies a cure, or positive preventive, but his neighbors’ swine suffered severely cholera while his pons were en from tirely free from the disease. The bark*of tho wild cherry tree boiled to a strong liquid decoction with meal or any food tlmt the hog will eat. If he is too sick to eat give a drench of from half a pint to a pint of the decoction, The cure seems to bo quick and effec tive. This remedy givon at intervals of a few mouths seems to havo prevented tho disease of hog cholera with me for several years past. I raise to use and sell annually 100 liege or more. John P.

After the firolie armed himself and, meeting Spur- ling in a saloon, resumed the quarrel and was knocked down. As he arose lie pulled a revolver and shot Spurling twice in the body, killing him.

Owls Kill Many Mice. Mr. Nicholson has issued an appeal to landowners .nd country folk generally not to kill off every bird of prey, but, instead of nailing tho skin of an owl or a hnwk on a born door because it bears nn evil name in tho poultry yard, and is in the black books of the gamekeoper, to presorve it, within limits, at least as Bodulously ns the partridges and pheas ants in whose interests it is destroyed. The barn owl (Alueo flammous) is unde niably tlie farmer's frieud and by no means tlie sportsman’s enemy. From observations made during the nesting time it 1ms been calculated that it will bring to its callow young a mouse about once every twelve or fifteen minutes, and as many as twenty good sized rats, perfectly fresh, havo been counted in a single nest. A nest containing five owlets was placed under a hencoop, and no less than twenty-four rats, largo and small, brought there by tlie parent birds, were found lying outside tlie coop tlie following morning. — Edinburgh Scotsman. DeHtroyer* of <• mush op per a. There is a small reptile out west known as the fence lizard, which catches and eats a great many grass hoppers. The species is very common in the infested regions. Skunks are most active enemies of tho insect and have been known to r-sceiul trees for tho purpose of catching them. For obvious reasons it will hardly bo practicable to encourage these particular mammals, but no such objections would uppiy to toads, which are apt to swarm wherever the "hoppers” are, gobbling tlie latter greedily. Many piantors in California employ flocks of turkeys for tlie purpose of free ing their orchards and vineyards of grasshoppers. Ono turkey will destroy an almost incrediblo number in a single day. Incidentally the birds aro fattened at the cheapest possible rate. They aro so fond of such food that sometimes they devour too many and die of indi gestion.—Washington Star.
