AGKtCtnLTURAL DKPAKTMENT. The Field, Farm and Garden. We solicit articles for this department. The name of the writer should accompany til*' letter or article, not neceaarily for pub lication, but as an evidence of good faith. 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.” Household. Curb for Sprains.—Take alum, beat it as fine ax you can, and sift it through a piece of mnslin so us to gst every grain. Now take the white of au egg anil Shat in alum till you have made a thick paste. Spread this on a cloth and bind around the injured part. Change this certainly twice in 34 hours, and ortoner if it gets too dry. I have seen the worst kind of sprains sixjedily cured by this application. I twisted my foot once so badly that I could not help screaming with pain at the slightest movement and could not bear my foot on the ground at all. 1 put thison in the eveningaua by morning I could easily walk on it. Try it. Cucumber Catsup.— Peel and grate the cucumbers and put in a bug or cloth nnd press end squeeze till vou can get no more water out of It. Take the pulp left in the hug or towel (throw the water away that drains from it) and put it In whatever is most convenient. Now odd enough eider vinegar to inuke it about tho consistency it was before pressing it, or less vinegar if you prefer it thicker, and to this add one THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. AUGUST 22, 1887. onion about as larffe as a turkey egg chopped np fine, two or three small pieces of red pepper, aud salt to suit the taste. 1 gene rally put about a teaspoonful to a quart. 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. Popular Science. Corliss, the great engine-builder, made no attempt at invention until he was 35 years pears old. His first effort in this line wax a machine for sewing shoes, which was a fail ure. The monks of St. Bernard have brought the telephone into their service of mercy. The famous hospice is now In telephonic communication with tho Cantine do Proz anil the village of St. Pierre, as also witii the Cantine ue Fontinte und tho village of St. Cbomey on the Italian side. A forgotten chemical product brought out by Dixie more than 20 years ago is now pre served in a Baris museum. Ft is a trans parent reflector, in which tho image of an object may be view ed as in a mirror, or through which the object itself may lx? wwn as through common gluss. It is simply a piece of glass covered with a thin layer of platinum. It was prepared by combining a mixture of plutime chloride and essence of lavender with afiux consisting of essence of lavender and boruto and oxide of loud, spreading the whole on the glass with a tine brush, aud then baking in a mufllc at a low red heat. This old discovery ought to serve some useful purpose. Prof. Soxheit, of Munich, suggests the following plan for the ready detection of bogus butter: He proposes to make a law that all Ixigus butter must, tie mixed during the preparation with phenolphtnlein, which is made out of one of the products of the dry distillation of tar, and one gramme of it will be enough for 100 kilogrammes of bogus lmtter. Tho butter can then lx? of fered for sale, colored yellow or tmcolorcl, or in any way desired, and the plienolphta lein will not lx' neon at all. But by adding a solution of soda, or ammonia and water, or even a teanpoonful of water and the ash of a cigar, to a piece of butter the size of u bean the whole 'if the butter will become n nice red if it be bogus butter or if bogus butter be mixed with it. M. Corun has presented to the French Academy a memoir by M. E. Mereadier on 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. Charles J. Rosebault. “Old-Time Darkles.” From the Tallahamee (Fla.) Tallahnsscan.
