AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. The Field, Farm and Garden. We solicit articles for this department. The name of the writer should accompany the letter or article, net necessarily for pub lication, but as an evidence of good faith. Picking- Cotton. In a very interesting article on cotton harvesting. Mr. R. T. Reading, in the Southern Cultivator for September, says that the fruition of the cotton planter’s hope of a successful, practical machine for gath ering cotton is yet in abeyance and tho work must still be done by nimble human fingers. Inventors, however, are earnestly at work set-king to solve this great prob lem. Cotton picking by hand is by far the most expensive operation involved in tho production of raw cotton. Moreover, the cost of nearly every operation, except pick ing, may be reduced in proportion as the yield per acre is greater. There is practi cally but little difference in the cost per pound of gathering by hand the crop from an acre producing 1,000 pounds of seed cot ton and another acre yielding only half as much. Hence, the supreme importance and universal desire for a practical machine to supersede the work of the hand. Such a machine must necessarily be so construct ed —to be efficient —that its daily capacity will l)e almost in direct proportion to the yield per acre. Much has boon said and written of late years about tho importance of gathering cotton free from trash, to use the farmer’s vernacular; and somo of tho writers, al though right in tho main, are evidently but little familiar with the requirements and conditions that must be practically met on a cotton farm during the harvesting of the crop. Softie years ago an apparently oth erwise intelligent English writer undertook to show that there was no excuse whatever for the presence of sand or soil in bales of cotton; that the cotton crop opened (all of it was his idea) in September, a month in which there was little or no rainfall. He concluded, and reproved and lectured the farmer accordingly, that the sand was fraudulently added by the farmer as a make-weight. While it is desirable to house the cotton as free from leaf and hull as may be, it is of first importance that the crop be “gone over” as often as the quantity open at one time is sufficient to enable hands to do a fair day’s work. In the interest of econo my. and with a limited picking force, ce lerity of movement, nimbleness of fingers, and the weight of cotton gathered per hand per day are tho'points to be observed. Lime Is a Fertilizer. , Opinions differ as to the value of lime as a fertilizer. A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer gives his experience with lime as follows: Last summer a neighbor called my attention to a narrow strip across one of his oat fields which was three or four inches taller than the rest, and explained that the cause of it was “it had a small coat of lime fifty-two years ago,” and yet it showed on every crop to the present time. If the land on which it is applied is extremely poor and there is no sod, it should always have a little manure put on with it to give the lime some thing to work on. It is rather slow in its work. You seldom ever see any benefit from its use till you sow in clover and then break up the sod. And then there is no crop on which it is not very beneficial. Low, clay ground that is naturally wet and cold, unless perfectly underdrained, is a poor place for lime. It shows much the best on high, dry, gravelly soils. If low, wet ground is plowed when not in proper order on ac count of moisture where lime has been used it seems to destroy its effects entirely. Here is a mistake many farmers make. Because a neighbor who has high lands can plow they will, too, even if the water runs after them in a furrow. The amount to be used depends on the former fertility of the ground to which it is to be applied, the amount you have on hand, the time you have to spare without making your crop late, etc. The old idea entertained by our grandfathers that too much would kill the ground is ex tremely fallacious. AVe have used from 100 to 1,000 bushels per aero and never lost a crop on account of putting on too much. We usually use 300 to 400 bushels per acre, and then before we sow down in clover give a top dressing of manure, which insures a good catch. Then lot it lie a couple of years and put it in corn, and we hever fail to get a crop. Land that has been limed to any extent is scarcely ever troubled with worms, which is no small item sometimes. From past ex perience I would say there is no better fer tilizer for on orchard than hot lime. It promotes the growth of the trees, is de structive to insects and surely benefits the fruit. If a farmer can get the limestone he hod better burn it himself, and then when ho wants to use it, which is generally a very busy time of year, he will not have to haul it for miles. Application of Manure. The American Rural Home says that not only is the preservation of tho manure with minimum loss a rnntterof great importance, but its application to the soil, or to crops, is also an important matter. Science would pcrha|w indicate that to sproad it upon the surface of the soil just before plowing, and then to sow tho seed and have the roots of plants ready to absorb tho plant-food as fast as roleused by docoin|xwition, would be the lxstter way of saving the valuable ingredi ents nf manure, but recent praotieeof many of our best farmers would seem to afford evidence that there are some things which chemists have not yet satisfactorily ex plained. Since the ordinary rotation of crops, so generally adopted in Western New °rk, has been practiced; that is, manure upon clover and timothy sod, followed by barley and oats, those crops by wheat, that by meadow, many farmers have practiced hauling out their manure at convenient sea soiis; during the winter, sometimes daily or weekly, when the weather and circumstan ces would permit, and continuing so to do until ready to plow for corn In the spring. Muny farmers have informed us that tho favorable results of this course were plainly visible in the corn, anil that on those parts of the field where manure was spread ear liest in winter the corn was tiest, the growth diminishing as tho time of spreading neared the time of plowing. A Gerniun farmer who watched for several years the effects of surface application of manure ln-cnine con vinced that a load of quite raw, unfer inented manure had quite as much effect as ft loud of manure that had been condensed nd shrunken by fermentation. If, then, farmers will, by tho use of absorbing litter and gypsum and compacting in the stables or manure sheds, do what they can toward preserving the mauurial elements before the manure is applied to the soil, and will, from time to time through the winter, when the weather is favorable, the earth frozen and little or no snow upon the surface, haul out and spread the manure evenly over the sur face, they will do the best possible, in the light now shed upon the subject by both science and experience, toward husbanding the manure of the farm and preventing the soil from deteriorating. Sweet Potatoes. Mr. J. S. Newman, in the Southern Cul tivator for September, says that of the va rieties of sweet potatoes most generally cultivated for table use, that known as the Georgia yam or sugar yam is considered best for the Southern taste which demands a “wet” potato. This variety, however, is not very productive nor will it bear late planting. Next in quality, and more pro ductive, is the variety known as the pump kin yam, which is deep yellow when cooked, hence its name. The flesh of the Georgia yam is of a light yellow when cooked. For the Northern market the Jersey swept or Nansemond, which is even less productive than the Georgia yam, is the favorite, and indeed almost the only variety that is sale able in those markets, became it meets the demand for a “dry” potato. For stock, the more productive varieties, such as the St. Domingo and Hayti yam, are preferred. Under identical circumstances these two varieties will usually, produce two or three times as much as the Georgia yam. The fact now well established that sweet potatoes will cross without the intervention of true seed has puzzled vegetable physiolo gists. Thus far no satisfactory explanation has been given. Some have suggested that though no seed are produced in this latitude the plants flower and that tho characteristics of varieties are blended through the influ ence of pollen. This is by no means proba ble since the pollen affects only the ovule which, failing to develop, could produce no effect upon the plant; others have suggested that either roots or stems may, when planted in close proximity to other varieties, form accidental grafts, through which a mingling of the circulation takes place, resulting in a blending of the two parents. Very search ing experiment will be necessary to unravel this secret. The fact that they do cross without the intervention of seed is well au thenticated, but how it is done is the ques tion. • Pigs In the Fall. The American Agriculturist,, in a very interesting article on pigs, says that it is doubtful if anything is gained ultimately by having sows farrow twice a year. The sucking of two litters must injuriously re duce the sow and the pigs are not properly nourished, thus injuring them. But when the spring litters are still-born, or lost shortly after birth, or, in some cases, when sows are too young to bo bred to farrow in the spring, it is good policy to breed for fall pigs. But to make them as good as spring pigs they must have good shelter and the equivalent of green food. Swine shelters are more likely to be'made too warm than otherwise. The swine lie close together and their bodies are compact, hence they require rather open shelters. Sheltered swine usually suffer more from foul air than from cold. Good ventilation is the first essential of a swine shelter. This must not be forgotten when constructing shelters for fall pigs, for, be cause they are small, the shelter is likely to be made warmer than for mature swine, which is saying that it will be altogether too warm. They should have no litter if the shelter will keep them dry and protect them from winds. Tho equivalent of green food is easily provided and it is not a more expensive food than grain. Turnips can be grown after a crop of early potatoes or sweet coni has been removed from the Iqnd or even on stubble ground. Tho small po tatoes may be gathered up and boiled. A patch of rye will give green food until cov ered by the snow and at intervals during the winter. The vegetable scraps may be saved and thus the pigs be kept thriving through the winter. Dissatisfaction with Fertilizers. Tho main reason why so many people are not satisfied with the use of fertilizers, says Mr. G. A. Hoerle in the Southern Cultiva tor for September, is because they do not use the right kind. If a soil contains plenty of phosphate, yet is poor in potash, it is no use to add another quantity of the former and it must be a farmer’s business to find out, either by experiment or by analysis, what his soil requires and add that, and only that, and not waste his time and money in “carrying owls to Athens.” If your farm is once supplied with what it needs it is easy enough to keep track of what has been taken off and what added during the course of years, as long as you keep strict account of what you buy and sell, unless you let your farm manure go to waste. A few hours every year aro sufficient to make up your “fertilizer balance sheet," and thorough restitution is needed about every six, eight or ten years, according to the character of your soil arid the way it has been treated during the preceding period. Household. Apple Fritters.—Three eggs beaten light, one quart of milk, a half teaspoonful oT salt, grated rind of one lemon; pare, core and slice thin one quart of apples; add to the batter and fry in boiling lard. Peach Compote.—Prepare a thin syrup with half a pint of water, six ounces of sugar, lemon juice and blanched peach-stone kernels; stew twelve peaches for‘JO minutes, lay them in a dish, boil up the syrup until it is thick, then pour it and the kernels over the peaches, auu serve cold. Nice Ginger Cookies.—Melt ono-half cup of butter in one cup inoiasses and cue of sugar, allowing the mixture to become hot; men add one tablespoonful of ground ginger, one teaspoon ful of ground cinna mon, one cup of sweet milk, five cups of flour stirred in a full one-half teaspoonful of soda; bake in flat tin pans or gem-irons. Marmalade or owsen drapes may be made in this way: Hit green grapes in a preserving kettle with water enough to cover them; place them on the fli c and boil until they are soft enough to mash; pass the pulp through n sieve fine enough to prevent the seeds from going through. To each pound of pulp add two pounds of sugar and boil to £he consistency of jelly. Corn Cakes.—Cut tender, sweet corn, that has been lolled, from tho cob; to each cupful allow an egg and teaspoonful of milk or cream. Beet theeggs until light, mid the corn and milk and thicken with Just enough flour to hold the ingredients together; sea son and cook upon a griddle the same ns batter cakes. Test a little first and sec if it is not of the proper consistency. An excel lent luncheon dish or nice for breakfast. How to Can Grapes.—Plok grapes from stems, taking only the perfect ones, and wash and spread thorn on n table on which von have previously put a table-cloth. Leave until dry. When dry fill the cans. Then place on stove to boil one pound sugar and one cupful of water to every quart of grapes. When boiling fill up the cans with the hot liquid. Before sealing leave stand about ten minutes and fill up again, as they will have settled. Be sure to have a damp cloth around the bottle when filling. Will be fit for use in six weeks Lemon Thieles Squeeze four lemons into half a pint of water and throw in the rinds, add one-half a pound of lonf sugar; THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1887. c )ver close and let stand one hour; then take out the rinds and let stand all night; then ► train through a cloth, add ounce of isinglass and put in a saucepan with six well-beaten ezgs. Set it on the fire and keep stirring till it is as thick as cream. When milk warm put in molds. This is a very light and delicate dessert. Molds for receiving creams, blanc mange, etc., should be wet in cold water. Half a pound of sugar is half a pint. Peach and Tapioca Pudding.—For this pudding there will be required one can of peachos, a generous half-pint of tapioca, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt and one quart of water. Soak the tapioca over night in cold water; in the morning turn it with the water into a double boiler and cook for an hour. On removing from the stove add tho salt, sugnr and juice of tho peachos and stir thoroughly. Pour a layer of tho mixture in a well-but tered pudding dish, then lay in the peaches and pour over the fruit the remainder of the tapioca: bake in a moderately hot oven for one hour. Farm and Stock Notes. There are many pigs so stunted while young that they are not worth taking as a gift with the condition that they must be kept a year, when thrifty young pigs can be purchased at reasonable prices. A stunted pig will show his fniling to a critical eye and no good farmer need lie deceived into pur chasing one. Mr. Albaugh, well known in Ohio horti culture, says that one grower sowed oats among his grapes every spring to prevent rot and considered it a success. Mr. Miller, of Ohio, sowed copperas—about one pound to a square rod —in his vineyard early in the summer and again later. No rot has ap peared since this treatment. Wherever young turnips are sown the ground should be kept loose by frequent stirring with the hoe. This not only keeps down weeds but destroys the fly that eats the tender leaf. It is the dust that fills its breathing holes and thus suffocates it. In a wet time, when there is no dust, lime, gypsum or wood ashes answer the same purpose. As fast as green sweet corn is picked the stalks should ,be given to cows. They aro sweeter than those of ordinary corn, and with tho ears make a very rich feed. They pay to grow for this purpose alone and many farmers sow sweet corn for soiling, claiming that its greater sweetness makes up for de ficiency in quantity as compared with the larger kinds. The mortality among young chickens in hot weather is chiefly due to lice. Avery little insect powder dusted among the feath ers on neck, head, back and side will kill all vermin, The chicken after the operation shakes itself thoroughly, thus dusting its entire body. Lice at this season leave old fowls for the tender chick, which they soon kill if left alone. Young pigs should generally be left un ringed. What rooting they will do will be more beneficial than otherwise. Old hogs sometimes develop a taste for the bark of apple roots and may do damage. They will almost certainly injure the trees by throw ing up hog wallows, alternately with ridges, covering some roots too deeply and leaving some exposed to freezing or to be drenched by water settling in tho hollows. The value of stable dung, says Prof. Wyatt, must not be estimated upon its ac tual x-ichness in ammonia or ph vsphoric acid within a short period of its production, but must be calculated on its wonderful physi cal and chemical action on the elements of the soil and the air, and upon its merits as a vehicle or conductor into which complet ing quantities of outside substances can be introduced, decomposed and rapidly made available. Hay properly cocked will sustain very slight injury by remaining out through a storm. The cocks should Vie made high and small at the base, pressing the hay down firmly and evenly, and trim neatly. With the side of the foot knock the hay around the base well under, so that the water will shed directly on to the ground. Should there be sign of rain when the hay shall have been out over one night, double the cocks, rake the scatterings anil trim neatly. The difficulty of curing fodder corn in its immature state, says an exchange, tempts many farmers into permitting it to become too ripe before cutting. The stage of flow ering is considered the liest time to cut other forage crops, and corn appears to be no ex ception. The rulo very generally observed among experienced growers is to cut fodder corn for drying in the early blossom of the tassel. At whatever stage the foddor is harvested it is wiso to have the crop cut before being touched by frost. This is good advice by Duncan's Maga zine: Swine feeding can be made safe and certain by following the practices which experience lias demonstrated to be trust worthy and not otherwise. Crowding corn, and nothing but com, into hogs from the time of birth to the time of slaughter is unnatural and unreasonable, and many are following that plan every year to their terrible cost and to the great detri ment of the constitution and healthfulness generally of American swine. In many sections where little or no honey is being gathered robbing may be expected and should he guard is 1 against. If you have weak or queenless colonies break thorn up and remove the hivos to a safe place. Do not expose honey where the bets can get at it or it will demoralize your whole apiary. It is wonderful how soon bees discover that honey can be had and how persistent they are. I have sometimes thought that bees would work ten times harder (like human beings) to steal than to get it by honest toil. The onlv safety is to expose no honey and keep all hives so strong that it is almost sure death for a robber to enter. Popular Science. Fiborite is anew insulating material made from wood pulp and is being used for stor age cells and by various electrical concerns. It is said to give satisfaction. A station is to be established in Kt. Peters burg for the examination of food materials offered for sale in the city. It will be under the charge of scientists appointed by tho government. A plant has been discovered in India which is said to destroy the power of tasting sugar. It will be useful in counteracting a morbid appetite for sweetmeats, which is an active promoter of indigestion. Another plant found in Madras destroys the relish for cigars and tobacco. Thus two import ant curatives are added to the materia medica. Max Von Pettenkoffer, a German medical authority, considers that cholera is not con tagious m tho sense of being communicable directly from person to person, but that it Wongs to the malarial group or epidemics, the germs of which find their way from tho soil into the air, and thence through the lungs into the system. He regards good drainage and pure water as the most effi cient safeguards against an outbreak It is commonly stated and generally sup posed that lanoline fnvorscutaiiisiuHabsorp tion. But M. Aubert, asserts that his expe rience is absolutely contradictory to this belief. So far from favoring atisorption, he says, it prevents it almost wholly. In consequence of this, as lanoline does not spread over the skin, but adheres strongly to the [Wirt to which it is applied, and as ft is not absorbed, ho advisos that it be used as a vehicle for antiseptic sulistances in sur gical practice. The liepertinr de Fharmneie says that the yellow stains produced by iodine muy be removed by a solution of sulphite of hoi la varying in strength from 1-100 to 1-10 in water. The liquid is [lenciled on to tho place where the tincture of iodine has been applied or used in compresses. In a few momenta It will be found that t.ho pain and irritation cause*l by the free iodine, as well as the disagreeable yellow stain, will have ail totally dioappured, to the great satis faction of tho patient Borne of the trees of Arkansas have pe culiar properties The fruit and root of the buckeye are used by Indian mn their fishing excursions. They put the Iruit and roots In a bag, which they drag through the water, lu evu how or so tho lull rwo to Uis surface dead. Cattle die after eating of the fruit or leaves. Man eats the fruit of tho paw paw but hogs won’t. Ropes and mats are made of its bark. The fruit and bark of the bay tree are supixised to be a cure for rheumatism and intermittent fever. To avoid the difficulties and inconvenience attending the use of steam engines a strong company lias been formed in Paris, Indus tries states, for the supply of compressed air to users of dynamo machines for elec tric lighting. A central station has been provided, where engines of 3.000 aggregate horse-power will compress the air for this purpose. The mains are already being laid and the work is being pushed on with all possible 'speed to furnish motive power to the theatres, within the time allowed by the government order, for the substitution of electrict light for gas. With electric lamps and compressed air engines the maximum of safety from fire will have been attained. The offices of the Figaro are to be the first to be lighted by this means. The scheme is to be extended to the provinces and Lille will probably be tho first town to adopt it. Raising the Mortgage. From the New York Morning Journal. Kitty and I hod just coma in from milk ing the cows and wero eating our suppers in the great.farm kitchen. We were tired from our day’s work, for ever since father hud the last stroke of paraly.-is we had been com pelled to do much of the farm work our selves. “Do you know,” said Kitty, setting dowii her bowl of milk suddenly, “that the interest on the mortgage is due to-morrow l That is $35, aud we have only sls toward it. Can’t you get William Avery to wait?” “I don’t choose to ask him to wait,” said I. Now it happened that Willis Avery, who hold the mortgage on our homestead, was the son of a neighbor, and an old playfellow and boy beau of my own, who had gone to the prosjierous young city a few miles north of us and commenced business on liis own account, and I had a particular aversion to asking aid or help of him in any way. I might bo poor, but I was always pro id, and Kitty was quite sympathetic enough to un derstand me. I sat down on the hearthrug, with my chin in my hands and stared earnestly at the big, crackling back log. “Look here, Kitty,” I said, suddenly. “Those russet apples we have left." “Well?” “We can sell them There are eight l*ar rels at the least. Eight barrels at $3 50 a barrel. I will take them to Mapletoi} and sell them.” “You will, Addy?” “And why not.? Squire Dyson would charge at least 30 per cent, commission, and make a favor of it at that. I can’t afford either the price or the patronage Don’t say anything aoout it to father. Ho would only fret anil raise objections.” “But, Addy, how? All this seems so per fectly wild and visionary to me.” “Well, it needn’t; for, believe me, it’s the most practical thing in the world. All wo have to do is to sort the apples out in bar rels, nice and sound-—I can easily do it by lantern light, to-night—and to-morrow morning we'll rise early, harness old Dobbin to the lumber wagon—” “And what shall we tell papa?” “Oh, he’ll think I’ve gone to singing school with the Dyson girls, and I don’t think it’s a Christian duty to undeceive him,” an swered I. But, notwithstanding tho brave face I put upon affairs, my heart quivered a little the next day, as I drove off toward Mapleton with the scarlet stain of sunrise dyeing all the east and my own cheeks blushed with the keen morning air. Mr. Holloway of the firm of Holloway Brothers, produce und commission mer chants, didn’t want any apples I speedily learned. “Just bought a shipload from, Albany,” he said, as carelessly as if shiploads of ap ples were as common a purchase as 10 cents’ worth of tape. And I drove on, beginning to feel infinitesimally small Mr. Lovejoy could give me a dollar a bar rel. “Apples wasn't ifcirtta no more at this season of the year!” And I whipped old Dobbin up, determined to carry them home again sooner than sell them at that price. At the next place I stopped, a pleasant looking, middle aged man came out and critically examined my apples. “How much?”he asked. “Two dollars and a half a barrel.” He refl cted. “It’s a good price,” said he, as if he were talking to his own vest buttons; “but then they look like good apples, and we’ve a tol erably large Western order to fill. I’ll see what my partner thinks. ” He went back into tho gloomy depths of his store, and I, happening to glance up, saw the words painted in black letters over the door: “Hull & Avery.” My first impulse was to drive on and leave the chance of a bargain behind me; my next to sit still and await my fate as Providence dealt it out to me. And presently out came Wilis Avery himself. “I think we will take your load if— why!” breaking off short, “it’s Addy Wal ters!” I colored scarlet. “Yes,” said I, as composedly- as possible. “Gold morning, Mr. Avery. I shall bo obliged if you will examine the fruit ns quickly as possible, as I am in n hurry.” Mr. Hall bought the load of apples, and said if I had any more at tho same price— and of the same quality, he cautiously added—he would be happy to take them. Willis Avery touched his hat, and 1 drovo away as lovely as Queen Boadicea in her chariot of old. “Just SBS, counting the melodeon money,” cried Kitty, gleefully. “And now Mr, Avery may come soon as he likes." She had srarcely spoken the words liefore there came a knock at the door, and in walked no less a personage than Mr. Willis Avery himself. I received him with the air of an empress. “Your money is ready, Mr. Avery.” “I was not thinking of the money, Addy," he said, reproachfully. “Do you think one’s mind runs always on money?” “Mine does a good deal,” said I, laughing. “But I had no idea you were reduced to this. I did not know—” “Mr. Avery, this is scarcely business-like,” I interposed. “ Addv,’’said ho, abruptly, “I admired your spirit and courage to-day. I always liked you as a girl, but now—” “Well,” for he hesitated “I would do something more if you would let me. I would love you.” I did not answer. In truth and in fact I could not. “Dear Addy, will you let mo sign liack the old place to your father on our wedding •lay?” be asked, earnestly. And somehow lie had got hold of my hand, and somehow, before I knew it, wo wereen- _ The Passion Play in Georgia.

AMERICAN PIANSS. “The United States Leads the World in the Art of Manufac turing Pianos.” Tho piano, after more than a century anti a half after its invention, has become tho lending instrument of music throughout Christendom. There are at least fifty thousand men employed in their manufac ture, and as many a* a hundred thousand tiro made every your. An average piano requires ono hundred and twenty days of labor to complete it—a slow and tiresome process for the work of one man’s hands, but in Germany they are still so made. Although the United States now turns out many thousand pianos a year, iifty-flve years ago scarcely ttftry wore made, annually. Almost every houqpliold now regards a piano as essential to happiness; for wo have long since passed the age of simplicity of our forefathers, anil the ago of luxury has fairly set in—and we rejoice that it is so. What a wide field is open for the manu facturer, and what inducements to carry improvements of the piano to tho highest state of perfection. Tho variableness of our climate renders it of tho first importance that our pianos should be made iu tho most thorough and substantial manner, and wo certainly can claim that our American pianos are the host in the world.—Musical World. The question of the superiority of Ameri can pianos over those of foreign make is indisputably settled and needs no discussion, while ill-prices the odds are likewise largely in our favor. For demonstration call and examino the lino of American Uprights wo offer at $2lO, $225 and s*2so. They Cannot be Matched at the Price in this or any other World. L, & B. 8. M. H. CLOTHING. CAUTION!
