Saving Moneyon Cotton Bales.
Mr. H. R. Harwod, in the Home and
Farm, says that unler the present system
of making cotton baits (in which the larger
portion is large bales), the cotton growers
throw away, in one year $4,000,000, sup
posing the crop to be a full one, viz.: 7,000,-
000 bales, and in any other one year in pro
portion.
Strange as this assertion may appear, it
is nevertheless true, as the following will
show:
I have found from personal experience,
that it pays much better to makes bales
weighing 500 pounds than bales weighing
025 pounds or more. The secret, is to make
your bales of cotton weigh uo more than 500
pounds. You say, Ido not see it. Well,
this is it?” Here we are paid $3 per bale of
500 pounds for cotton seed at the gin. Wo
are only paid $3 for the seed from a bale of
025 pounds. They gin at lc. per pound,
bagging and ties thrown in, so thero is noth
ing gained by making a bale 600 or 625
pounds. Now, if you taks 2,500 pounds of
lint to the gin and have it made into five
bales, instead of four, who has anything to
do with4t? Who will losoby it! Nobody,
hut somebody gains, for see, it only costs
83c. more to make the same lint into five
bnles instead of four, i. e. for the extra bag
and ties, 32 pounds, and 10c. more for weigh
ing, if not weighed at the gin. Now, this
extra 22 pounds, at 9c. per pound, will be
$1 98 less 32c., making $1 60, and $3 for
extra bale of seed, making $4 OS clear profit
on four bales by making than into five,
over a dollar pier bale.
Now let us take the whole crop, of say,
7,000,000 bales, and suppose 4,000,000 are
large bales. Hero we have fn round num
bers $4,000,000 that largo tales put in the
merchants and ginners pockets. By my
plan this $4,000,000 goes into the farmers’
picket without any trouble or extra outlay
on his part. Keep it for yourselves, spend
a little of it on the paper that gives you the
hint. Do not be hoodwinked any longer.
By my plan the crop will be 8,000,000 bales
instead of 7,000,000. This extra million
bales will represent $45,000,000, without the
cotton crop being increased a single lock.
There is no actual gain, except in regard to
the bag and ties, viz.: buying them at lc.
per pound and selling them at 9c. per pound,
making about $1,700,000. to which add extra
gain on seed, less weighing, over $4,000,000
which this plan gives to the hard-working
cotton grower, instead of the merchant,
who has all along been wheedling it out of
him and promising him 10 pier cent, of it,
by raising the bid on a large bale two
nickles above a small bale. I have always
got as good a price (grades alike) for a 500
piound bale, as the man with his 650 piound
hale, and the other 150 pounds went to to
wards the next bale.
The merchant may be able to control some
things, but in regard to cotton-hale making
lie is helpless; do not hand this $4,000,000 to
him and then go around town begging for
10 pier cent, of your own money, but get
your bales so that you can have your owu
independent of the merchant or his two
nickles. ______________
Kelsey’s Plum.
Kelsey’s Plain is getting a pretty strong
foothold in Florida The Florida Dispatch
speaks of it as follows: Of all our new fruits
the Kelsey is, perhaps, attracting most at
tention from our fruit growers, and it cer
tainly promises well; we say “promises
well,” for wc do not wish to go upxm record
as endorsing unreservedly a fruit that has
not yot been grown long enough here to de
termine fully its adaptability to our soil and
climate nor its profitableness for market. But
we can say that it has behaved as well as
any fruit could behave in the throe years it
has been grown in this State. It has thus
far proven vigorous, healthy and pirolifle in
every section of the State. The trees are
not only prodigiously fruitful, but also bear
when very young. The fruit is also very
large and of fine quality. Thus far neither
fruit nor tree has been seriously attacked by
insects or disease.
The Kelsey seems especially adapted to
Florida. Although grown in Georgia and
other Southern States, it nowhere thrives so
well as in Florida, and furthermore our sea
son is so much earlier that we do not come
in competition with . other sections in mar
ket.
Unlike the LeConto, Knki, Guava and
other valuable Southern fruits, the Kelsey
will "take” in all markets; the taste for this
fruit is not acquired, it is not necessary to
develop*} a market before it will sell. Plums
always command a good price. Only last
week one of *?e most extensive fruit grow
ers of Gcorg a, a man who raises [leaches,
apples and pears in almost unlimited quan
tities, said to us that he made more from
his Wild Goose plums in seasons when he
obtained a good crop than from any other
fruit. Every one knows how eagerly the
California plums are sought in market. The
•Kelsey surpasses both in appearance and
quality, its excellent shipping qualities
enable the grower to gather the fruit before
it is rip>e, and to get it into the most distant
markets in the country not only in sound,
but also in a perfectly rip*‘nod condition;
these merits commend it to every fruit
grower in tho Stub}. If it fulfills its prom
ise, and we have every confidence in its
doing this, it is destined to rank second in
importance only to the orange as a pomolo
gical piroiluct in Florida.
Fall Chickens.
Mr. 11. B. Greer, in tho Southern Culti
vator, sn vs that fall chickens may lie reared
ns easily and ns profitably as spiring chickens
if the necessary conditions for their hatch
ing and growth are observed.
Such conditions exist and need only to lie
followed to attain success. In tho first plnce,
we should be careful at this season of tho
year to select eggs from such fowls ns have
not yet begun to moult, because eggs laid
by hens just nlxiut the time they begin to
shed their feathers will not hnteh. Neither
will eggs from hens (no mattor how sprui*
they look) mated with a cock that is moult
ing, hatch. Hence we must lie sure that
eggs we set now are from fresh, healthy
looking fowls, and right now is the time to
set them. In fact, the first ten days of
August cover the period when we may ob
tain the best anil most fertiloeggs for hatch
ing. After the middle of the month neurly
all the hens will be in full moult, and if
they lay any at all, their eggs will lie sterile.
We may set eggs now , however, with a fair
Pfospect of satisfactory results, and it is
well worth while to try two or three set
tings.
We should, however, place tho neat* for
our setters right on tho ground. It is cus
tomary with me to make the nests for my
fall setters after this fashion:
First, select a rather secluded spx>t in or
about the chicken house and loosen up tho
earth. Then I wet it thoroughly and place
about it a wooden frame with neither top
nor bottom. Then fill in on top of the wet
earth with dry dirt to the depth of two or
three inches, shaping it into the right form
for a nest. Within this space put fresh,
green grass, and on it place the eggs. The
result is a cool, moist nest that is both grati
fying to the ben and beneficial to the eggs.
And as a result nearly every egg hatches.
When hatched, however, I do not take the
chickens from the nest until the youngest
One is fully 24 hours old, for I believe they
need hovering more than food during the
first day of their existence. From the nest
they are taken to a rat and eat-proof can
vas-covered bottomless coop, which is inside
of a chicken-proof pen about tenfeet square.
Sawdust or sand is placed inside the coop
and the hen and her brood deposited there
directly from the nest. The hen is fed first
on whole grain, and then when she is pretty
well satisfied the first feed for the little
chicks is placed before them which consists
of hard-boiled egg and potato crumbled up
together. The potato is alternated with oat
meal uncooked. A little meat is given them
every other day and occasionally a little red
pepper with their food of a morning. The
hen is thoroughly dusted with Persian in
sect powder as soon as taken from the nest,
and twico a week thereafter for the first
three weeks. The chickens are fed four and
fivo times a day ns above described, and
they thrive wonderfully when so cared for.
Harvesting Tobacco.
A writer in the New York Herald says
that tobacco plants should lx? topped when
the leaves are making their most vigorous
growth, so that after topping they will con
tinue to grow and attain the highest degree
of perfection. The flower stalks should be
pinched oft l>elow the third upper leaf. It
is not advisable to defer topping till the
flowers open, else the leaves will not make
as good a growth, and the plants will run
largely to suckers. These suckers have to
be frequently removed. The proper time
for harvesting depends upon varied circum
stances. Under average conditions the
plants are allowed to stand fifteen days
after having been topped; in a dry and hot
season the leaves will ripen in thirteen or
fourteen days, and in cold, wet weather,
sixteen to eighteen days may lie required.
As the leaves mature they become darker
in color and assume a mottled or marbled
appearance; they also lose the fine down on
their under side and appear thick and
leathery to the touch, while previously they
were soft.
The loaves should not lie cut until the dew
upon them has entirely evaporated. On hot
daj’s not more should be cut than can be
brought under cover the same day, else
there is danger of sunburn, and when cut
ting the plants the huts should be placed
toward the sun. After the plants have
wilted sufficiently so that they may be han
dled without breaking the leaves, the plants
are placed in piles of 20 or 25 each. Five or
seven plants are then put on each lath, ac
cording to tho size of the plants, and these
laths are conveyed to the shed upon a plat
form wagon or rack especially made for the
purpose. In the shed the laths should be
six or soven inches apart to admit of free
circulation between the plants.
The Unpardonable 3in.
The agricultural editor of the Now Or
leans Picayune has this to say about hog
cholera: “Thelossesof swine from all causes
through the entire country have been heavy,
amounting to nearly 6,000,000 during the
year.”
In the above sojpe editor has indulged in
pretty strong guessing, since no statistician
on earth can tell how many hogs die of
cholera yearly. Many smuggle their dis
eased hogs to the butcher’s and tell nobody
about it, and tens of thousands of hogs are
salted and saltpetred profusely and sold as
sound pork with a good brand on the head
of the barrel, or tied up into lard, mixed
with cotton seed oil, and sold as extra fine,
pure, unadulterated lard, warranted by some
one who ought to have a court warrant after
him and a home in tho penitentiary. It
would be interesting if some good guessing
statistician would furnish the reading public
with the number of physicians, invalids,
processions and funerals that have followed
in the trail of this diseased hog trade. And
the farmers are at the bottom of this heart
less iniquity, aidod by butchers and ]x>rk
merchants. Farmer* are not all of them
honest. They love money as well as mer
chants do, or lawyers, or any other people.
The sin of Western farmers, butchers and
cattle merchants in selling diseased meats
disguised us good meats to the consumers of
the country for many years is one of the
foulest and meanest sins that human nature
is capable of committing. If this is not
the unpardonable sin it ought to be as a hu
man law.
Pecans in Florida.
There is no doubt that pecans can ,be
grown with great profit in Florida. A gen
tleman who lives in Florida gives his expe
rience with pecans as follows: “I ordered
from New Orloans in the winter of 1882 one
barrel paper shell variety, costing mo s2l 25
at this station. Tho nuts were plauted in
tho spring of 1882 in nursery form. When
the trees were three years old I commenced
to transplant them in n new piece of land,
what is known in Florida us flatwoods. I
now have about 3,000 trees all transplanted,
manv of them over 10 feet high and from
to 3 inches at the base. I have been
obliged to support many of them with stakes
to hold them erect on account of t.he tops
being so heavy. I have a few trees that I
purchased and planted out that are 9 years
old from tho nut, and at this writing have
nuts on them. lam so well pleosixl from
my success with the growth of pecans in the
fiutwoixis that 1 shall put out 1,000 more
next spring.”

of mnslin so us to gst every grain. Now
take the white of au egg anil Shat in alum

seen the worst kind of sprains sixjedily cured
by this application. I twisted my foot once
so badly that I could not help screaming

This catsup preserves all the fresh flavor of
the cucumber and is particularly nice with
meats aud fish. It will keep for several
years if your vinegar is pure eider vinegar.
Tumblers for Preserves.—l would
suggest that tumblers be used to put up
preserves and jellies in, as they are cheap
and hold just enough for one meal for an
ordinary family and thereby doing away
with all danger of fermentation. Every
housekeeper knows that a partially tilled
jar of preserves soon ferments. The cheap
est kind of glasses will answer every pur
pose. Mine hold rather over a half pint
and cost 35c. per dozen, and are really quite
neat looking glasses and will do to use for
other purposes after the preserves are out.
I sometimes just set the’ tumbler of pre
serves on the table. Whim I have filled the
glasses with preserves I cut out a piece of
paper just, to fit inside of the glass, dipped
it in whisky or brandy and pressed it down
on the preserves smoothly and firmly. Over
the top of the glasses I now pasted two
thicknesses of paper which made an almost
air-tight covering.
Farm and Stock Notes.
To dig up n fruit tree, by cutting a circle,
with a spado, half a foot In diameter, cuts
off more than nine-tenths of the roots; and
to spade a little circle about a young tree
not one-quarter ns far as the roots extend
and call it cultivation is like Eallstaff’s men
claiming spurs and shirt collars for a com
plete suit.
Eggs should never bo placed near lard,
fruit, cheese, fish or other articles from
which any odor arises. The eggs are ex
tremely active in absorbing power, and in
a very short time they are contaminated by
the particles of objects in their neighbor
hood, by which the peculiar and exquisite
taste of anew laid egg is destroyed.
Never let young turkeys out in the morn
ing until the dew dries off the grass. Don’t
feed them in the morning but at night, as
this will bring them home to roost. Feed
them properly, examine them carefully for
mites, etc., and keep a watchful eye on them
generally aud you will havo a profitable lot
of fat turkeys for the “Thanksgiving Day”
market.
All kinds of honey plants are not favora
ble to all locations; the basswood will not
grow where it is wet and marshy. In such
places willow, golden-rod and Spanish nee
dles grow ahuudantly, and in such localities
l>ecs may have very little surplus in the
early part of the season; while in autumn
they will have every cell filled with the
most delicious honey.
The expensive tools necessary to success
ful farming soon wear out, unless well taken
care of. A little care in housing tools when
not in use will result in many dollars saved.
During the season of use, when housing is
hardly practicable, whenever work ceases
for a day, a canvas cover to throw over a
self-binder or thrashing machine will pay
for its cost many times over.
An exchange remarks that a poor, neg
lected flock can be brought up by proper
care and feed, and made to improve from
year to year, but great care must be exer
cised in the selection of rams. In breeding
it is not necessary, but it is much better
than selecting a poor, scrawny, ill-bred ram
from another strain. A long-leggok long
necked, thin-wooled buck is dear
at any price.
In raising ducks mix corn meal and bran,
equal parts, and make into a mush and feed
this in milk If milk is not to be had, put
some ground meat or cracklings in the mush.
Clear, raw corn meal mixed with water is
not a fit feed for ducklings. Until past the
downy stage they should have no water to
swim in. Give them all they want to drink.
Put gravel and sand in the bottom of the
water vessel.
It may seem a small matter to mention
but eggs will sell better in almost any mar
ket if those of the same color are placed
together. Those who breed but one variety
have no trouble in this particular; but where
one keeps a variety of breeds it is well to
put the dark eggs in one basket, the light in
another, and perlmps those of a medium
shado in still another. Some prefer light
eggs and some dark ones, and as long as
purchasers have a preference, producers do
well to furnish what is wanted.
Prof. E. W. Hilganl says that fruit sub
jected to sulphur fumes in the process of
evaporation is unfit for human food.” That
means most of the gilt-edged, brag driest
peaches and dried apples in market. So
long as the public v ill give a higher price
for pleasing the eye than for honest, health
ful and substantial considerations, just so
long will sulphured dried fruit and sugars,
and painted and doctored grease called oleo
margarine, butterine, etc., be furnished at
paying prices, while more honest and better
articles are not wanted or sell at reduced
prices.
If the old fowl are disposed of early, or
are separated from the chickens, the latter
will grow much faster. Now is the time to
begin to give the chickens plenty of good
corn. If they arc allowed to run at large
they will find an abundant supply of insis ts
and will not eat corn enough to do them any
damage. If they must be kept confined fur
nish tnem a variety of food. Grass, weeds,
cabbage leaves and similar material should
be thrown them every day. with a supply of
oyster shells constantly w’ithin their reach,
and frequent change* from soft food to hard
grain-giving the latter usually at night. If
there is n hen-house which will Is' warm in
winter, and which enn be divided into suffi
cient compartments, it may he profitable to
hatch out a second crop of chickens in Au
gust and September, which can he brought
along so as to begin leying in March or
April. But if they must lie kept in the
same room with the spring-hatched chick
ens and the old fowl, it will scarcely pay to
raise them, as they will be so kept under by
the larger fowl that they will make but lit
tle growth in the winter, and will scarcely
lay before May.

M. Corun has presented to the French

the theory of the telephone. M. Mereadier
maintain* that the t,i ansniii-sion of articu
late speech is chiefly if not wdeiy the result
of molecular motion in the plate of the re-
eeiver. Vibrations of the plate as n whole
are only cajiahle of yielding a single tone
and its harmonics. This tone remains nil
altered when (he plate is supported at vari
ous iHunts which ate nodal points for this
particular note; but under these circum
stances the transmission of other tones is
much enfeebled. Such an instrument M.
Mereadier calls a monotelephoue. On the
other hand, a diaphragm supported in such
manner as to be incapable of performing
transversal vibrations is still able to trans
mit speech with jxirfect clearness, although
with considerable diminution of intensity.
IN A GERMAN CAFH.
One Resort in New York That is En
tirely Foreign.
New York, Aug. 20.—1 was walking up
Second avenue from Houston street the
other day when I noticed a number of men
seated at open windows iu one of the old
time aristocratic houses near Tenth street.
Some were reading, some were playing chess
one a few were dreamily puffing at cigars
mid watching tho rings of blue smoke as
they floated over their heads.
From their appearance they were all Ger
mans, which was not at all strange, this
being now a German neighlxirhood. Over
the main entrance to the house was a small
neat sign, bearing the single word, cafe. 1
entered.
The place was a peculiar one. It was di
vided into three rooms and hail also a large
veranda in the rear. - The front room,
wtiich was also the largest, contained manv
small, round, hard-wood tables, at which
sat the persons I had seen front the street
mid mar,y others. Nearly all were drinking
strong coffee. On shelves extending around
the walls were all sorts and kinds of Ger
man illustrated papers, newspapers, funny
journals, standard German books and some
rare and curious German volumes. Per
haps thirty men were in the room,
although it was early in the afternoon, when
most people are at work.
Generally Germans are very voluble
when they are together, but here not a
sound was to tie heard, except the rustling
of the papers and an occasional ejaculation
from one of tho chess players. The latter
were deeply in their games and entirely ob
livious to aught else but their cigars. Their
brows were knit into severe frowns, and
their bodies were bent forward. An air of
extreme restfulness |*>rvaded the place and
made one feel at home, despite the foreign
characteristics of the men. All seemed to
know each other, but, as if by agreement,
all conversation was confined to a few words
of recognition.
In the spacious hall a similar scone was to
lie found. In one of tho inner rooms were
two billiard tables, which were covered, and
looked neglected. In the third room was a
counter with two showcases, one containing
cigars and Turkish cigarettes and the other
filled with samples of German pastry. There
were large calces, soft and delicious in ap
pearance, but not at all sweet; peculiar ap
ple, peach, cheese and prune cakes without
any upper crust, all very good, but very
different from American or French pastry.
On the veranda sat several persons en
gaged in conversation, apparently apper
taining to business. It was a quepr scene in
the middle of a busy day in busy New York,
and outside of similar summer resorts could
probably not be found anywhere else in the
city.
In no place, probably, can tho everyday
life of the male part of our large German
population be studied to better advantage
than in the numerous German cafes which
range from tho chenu resort on Eust, Hous
ton street to the swell and luxurious brown
stone affair on Fifty-seventh sti-eet. The
characteristics of the one differ but little
from the other. The difference lies mainly
i’i the surroundings und the quality of the
furniture, decorations, etc.
It is an exact copy of its Berlin ami Vien
nese prototyjie. It is so entirely different
from anything American, or French, or
English that it seems out of place In c.
streets. To a student desirous of making
himself acquainted with real German cus
toms and character, no plai this side of the
Fatherland will prove so useful as this cafe.
It is also the only place where can be ob
tained these examples of real German cook
ing which are so satisfying and at the same
timo so delicious.
It is very seldom, however, that any but
Germans enter these places, and it is more
seldom, in fact, that any of the waiters, or
even tiie proprietor, can bo made to under
stand anything but German.
The cafe is a great deal more to the Ger
man than merely a restaurant. It is his
club, where he finds things as ho remembers
them in the old country; where he can
throw aside his acquired American customs
and can forget everything except that he is
a German.
Not t int ho always does this, for at night,
when tho quiet scene I have described is
changed to one of mirth and enjoyment of
a more noisy kind, scraps of loud conversa
tion can he heard, in which English words
are frequently jumbled in with a strong
flow of German in an extremely ludicrous
manner.
When two German business men have
some particularly important transaction to
discuss*, they will, if anywhere near a cafe,
adjourn there to talk it over. Under the
influence of coffee and cigars they soon
come to an amicable arrangement. From
early morning, when the liutolielors come
there for their breakfast, until late at night,
when, dinner having been disposed of, chess,
billiards and merry talk are in order, the
cafe is continually filled. To some it is more
familiar than their homes.
Although liquors, beer nnd wines flow
freely, 1 have never seen or heard of a single
case of drunkenness in a German cafe.
During the lute rigid enforcement of the
sumptuary laws the cafes w. re the only
places that were left entirely unscathed by
the police. To an Amerian an ex(ierience
of a single day in one of those cafes is like
a day’s sojourn in the Fatherland.

Among the colored people of this county

IJMVE old and well known makers, whose
1 names urn a guarantee as to quality and
durability.
There's u difference in them, of course. The
CHICKEKINGB are costly ; very much so. The
MATHUSHKKH cost ono-thinl less, and are
known ns medium prkwsl Tim RENTS come
lower still, but they are beauties; and the
ARIONS urn ns low iu price as a reliable Piano
can Is* produced.
But our cheapest, are spied and can lie de
pended on for irood service. We will not, and
do not si ll any Pianos which cannot be honestly
commended, and giw full, yea large return for
the money put in them.
We stive patrons u choice from our two hun
dred different styles and prices. Squares,
Square (trawls. Parlor (1 rands, Concert Uramls
uml Uprights from $2lO upwards.
Sisk the Prices: B>s4lo. $325. $250, 8375, SBOO,
$385. SBSO, #875. #4OO, #425, #4.50, SSOO to $1 .500.
And These Easy Terms: Only $lO monthly
until (raid for. A trifle more than bam rental.
Very easy to buy a fine Piano on such terms.
OUR CLAIM.
Just this: To furnish a
better Piano than can be had
elsewhere —North or South—
for the same money. VVe say
this not boastingly, but plainly,
in a business way, knowing
whereof we speak and being
prepared to demonstrate its
truth.
Those who buy elsewhere
without first visiting us will
certainly be the losers thereby.
