The Southern Negri as a Laborer.
Several farmers in dtlerent parts of the
South have been ditfoittung in the columns
O!' the Country (fenUakan, of New York,
the characteristics of fie negro as a farm
laborer. One of thorn who signs himself
“Farmer,” thinks prettj well of the negro;
another, writing from Walthourville, Ga.,
says he has employed many hands—lrish,
German and America}; he has also “em
ployed several grades rf the darky, from the
foreman to whom I aid $25 a month cash
and board) who stole ny feed front the mules
after it had been put ,n the manger) to the
errand boy, at $5 a month. They are all
thievish ‘eye-servants,’ with no work in
them except by cuistant watching and
urging; the most unreliable labor in the
world —at work to-clty and gone to-morrow,
returning the next day claiming to nave
been ‘sick, sah,’ leaving you iir the grass to
get along as best you could; and if once in
your debt, then indeed you may say ‘Good
by, Sam.’ •’ As for “Farmer’s” cash plan,
Ido not question that Mr. Powers settles
the same way. I never owe my hands a
cent on Sunday morning; everything is paid
Saturday night. Does this make my bands
work steadier and with more interest and
intelligence; Emphatically no. It makes
them come when I want them; that is all.
I have often given a hand something above
his wages and praised him for his work,
thinking this would induce him to do still
better, but it was useless; the lack of ambi
tion, innate to the darky, kept him from
improving,his motto being ‘ ‘Take no thought
for the morrow;” praise spoils them and
scolding drives them off. I have yet to see
and work one who can change from one
piece of work to another, except plain
plowing, without the boss being present to
direct. I have been through it all and had
my confidence upset. If “Farmer” will
take a Liberty county negro and work him
one year and pay him S3OO and not watch
him and make 50c. on his year’s labor I will
become a convert to his remarkable doctrine
“don’t watch your hands;” but that is the
only way he can convince me.
The truth is that the average negro farm
laborer at the South is not well understood
by a large majority of our own people. If
a farmer makes money out of negro labor
he generally speaks well of it; if he loses
money, he thinks it a frail and broken staff
to lean upon. The Southern merchant, who
has a large negro patronage and makes
money, will insist that this kind of labor is
remarkably good, and it is the planter’s
fault if he fails and is sold out. The politi
cian who secures a large negro vote and an
office thinks well of negro labor and the
negro, and often reminds the white people
how well they remained and behaved dur
ing the war, but forgets the St. Domingo
threats and thirst for rebel blood, from old
age to the cradle, that in numerous negro
quarters in the South was at fever heat af
ter the war was over, the South whipped
and Federal bayonets were seen at our capi
tals and on our streets. The whole truth
about the Southern negro since the war as a
laborer, a citizen, a voter and in regard to
his status as a Christian and in educational
matters, has never yet been written. It is
still in dispute and behind the curtain.
When and How to Plant Strawberries.
Mr. F. M. Brewer is one of the most suc
cessful growers of fruits of Crystal Springs,
Miss., a community largely devoted to hor
ticultural pursuits, gives the following di
rections as to planting strawberries;
Rake the ridges with a steel handrake be
fore planting; stretch a gai-den line; set the
plants 15 or 18 inches apart. Hold the root
in the left hand, the small leaves and stem
even with the upper part of the fist. Cut
the roots off even with the outside of the
closed little finger; this makes the roots in
length just equal to the width of the hand.
Open a hole in the mellow earth with a little
wooden paddle; spread out the roots like a
fan; put them in a hole and press the earth
firmly around them. Don’t hurry too much
and do the work well.
Cotton seed as a fertilizer for strawberries
furnishes fertilizing properties two or three
years in succession. Cotton seed meal will
do in place of cotton seed, at the rate of 300
or 400 pounds to the acre; but they lose their
fertilizing properties much sooner than the
seeds do. Strawberries do not need a large
quantity of ammonia and but little lime.
Potash, acid phosphate and humus in proper
quantities are Reeded. Pea vines furnish
the humus. Barnyard and stable manure
in moderation are good for strawberries.
No work in strawberry patches is needed
in winter, only for November planted straw
berries. then only run bull tongue in water
furrows.
Scatter bone meal and ashes broadcast in
winter to give plants an early start. Wood
mould and salt may be added after work
ing. Top dressing may be used after any
plowing and do good. In working straw
berries use turning plows, shovels, half
shovels, bull tongue and Planet Junior cul
tivator.
Use hoes often in strawberries. Keep up
cultivation into September and October;
cultivate often.
Roots of strawberries run as deep as the
plowing.
Pea vines plowed in make flue strawber
ries.
Don’t hoe strawberries deep; bar off five
or six inches from struwlierries; be careful
not to plow deep enough to disturb the
roots.
Mi'. Brewer sows field peas in the water
furrow in July and August, working them
in with bull tongue and hoe. We noticed
t hem us green as orange leavisi —a dark rich
gioen, no yellow tinge, on the Otli of Wcp
tember, in a burning drought, when sugar
'•ana and late com worn withered, curled
and badly fired. His strawberries looked
green and stood the drought nearly as well
as clay peas.
Mr. Brewer has shipped strawberries as
late as the sth of May aud as early as the
38th of March.
The Value of Wild Frutta.
At the recent meeting of the Massachu
setts Pomological Society, which wna a no
table one, at which the display of fruits waa
very large, Mr. A. H. Fuller read an Inter
esting essay on "Promising Wild Fruits ”
He thought that experience justified us in
the attempt to Improve by ■elwttou aud
croasing such fruits as the Junetierry. Mis
"ourl currant, wild gooseberry, high bush
hu*'kleljrry,persimmon and pawpaw From
I tie '-fullest sett ii nuollt of I tie uOSUItTV for
eign giapes were tried, but uui until fifty
years ago wars our native spadee canal dared
af any p, om> sc Now our beat varieties
a-mss hnu wild stock and ue* muodu-uote
were looked upon with distrust according to
the quantity of European blood they e&r
r.ed. No native raspberry was formerly
considered good enough for the table, while
now the Cuthbert and other home berries
had shouldered their way to the front anil
were altogether the most hardy and trust
worthy. In the Pomoiogical report for ’54
only four varieties were named, and all
these were foreign. Ten years later four
native black caps were admitted to the list
but still no native red raspberries. In the
report for ’BS twenty-five of the thirty-seven
named varieties were from our wild species
and now any variety with foreign blood
was looked upon as delicate and of doubtful
value. We made no progress with straw
berries until we began to build upon the
wild stock. All this seemed to warrant a
fair trial by selection and crossing of other
native fruits. Especially promising was the
persimmon, crossed with the large and lus
cious species from Japan that was not hardy
in this latitude, for we might hope to obtain
a hybrid with the strong native constitution
and the more delicate quality and larger
size of its Asiatic relativo. Mr. Goff added
some testimony in favor of the Juneberry
or service-terry, which varied in form and
size from a considerable tree to a low and
most fruitful shrub no more than three feet
high. The number of varieties made the
probability of getting a berry of strong in
dividual quality much greater.
Whipping Horses.
The whip, says M. M. Ballou, is the par
ent of stubbornness in a high-spirited ani
mal, while gentleness will win oteCfence
and at the same time attach the animal to
us. It is the easiest thing imaginable to win
the affection of animals, and especially
horses. An apple, a potato or a few lumps
of sugar given from the hand, now and
then, will cause the horse to prick up his
ears at the sound of his owner’s footstejis,
not with fear, but with a low, whinnying
note of pleasure. The confidence of the
noble beast thus gained will lead him to
obey the slightest intelligent tone of voice
or indication of the bit. There is no such
thing as balkiness to be found in a horse
thus treated; he shows a desire to obey,
whereas a few lashes of the whip, smartly
applied, if he be a horse worth having, will
arouse in him a spirit of retaliation and
stubbornness that may cost the owner hours
of trouble and possibly danger to life and
limb. Horses are made gentle by kindness.
They “believe” in the master they love and
his voice will calm them in a moment of
fear or induce them to struggle forward
even when overladen, and when a whip
would be sure to bring them to a stubborn
standstill. No one knows the true value of
his horse until he has won his regard and
confidence, as it were. The whip will never
do this. A kind hand and gentle voice will
act like magic; thus we have known women
who could handle and drive horses that
would almost invariably show some vicious
traits in the hands of a male driver. These
facts apply especially to the rearing and
training of young colts; something which
the Arabs understand better than we do.
They do not “break” their colts, they adapt
them; they fondle them from their birth
and pet them always. An Arab would as
soon strike his wife or his daughter as his
horse, and no animals in the world are
fleeter, more enduring or more docile in the
performance of every task which is given
them than the Arabian horse. We would
like to see the whip wholly discarded.
Big Head in Horses.
Dr. George E. Matthews, D. V. S., of this
city, writes to the Morning News as fol
lows concerning the disease named above:
“Big head is a term for a disease known
to professional men as ostes porosis or osteo
sarcoma. It makes its appearance as a
hard lump on the cheekbone, about half way
between the eye and the nostril. The cellu
lar structures of the bone becomes trans
formed into a material which is neither
cartilage nor bone, but which might be
called ost co-cart it ay in ous. The jaws may
increase to an incredible size. They grow
in an uneven, irregular manner, so that
mastication is seriously obstructed to such
an extent, in fact, as to prevent the jaws
from closing, the result of starvation. The
chief peculiarity of this disease is that it is
one of youth, not being known in animals
of mature age. Some of the ablest writers
are inclined to attribute it to deficiency of
the earthy salts of the food or to a mat-as
similation of these in the body. The fact
that this disease lias not teen recorded in
aged hoi-ses points out most strongly that,
it is a disease of growth, and in this way
only can we account for the enormous size
often attained and rendered possible by the
fragile and elastic nature of the tenes dur
ing the early years of tile horse's age. It
points out most strongly that it is a disease
of growth, and the circumstances of the
bone being fragile nnd more elastic than
natural, they present the symptoms of rheu
matic lameness, frequently terminating in
spontaneous fracture of the bones involved.
The disease is most common in some por
tions of the Southern States, and, though
the primary cause is unknown, wo have but
little doubt that the able writers who have
treated upon the subject are in the main
correct, there being no doubt that there is
some want of proper assimilation —probably
owing to the lack of the proper proportions
of some of the necessary elements.
"This will bring us to the inquiry as to
whether it is “catching.” When a number
of animals are attacked by the same disease
it is very natural for the conclusion to te
reached that the disease is Infectious. But
supposing the theory advanced above to te
correct there would te no reason te look
upon the ailment as in any way catching.
Tnat a number should lx? attacked about the
same time may te rationally accounted for
on the theory that certain elements being
wanting oertaiu ill effects may te pr'riuced
in the number of animals which may hap
pen to be iu such a state of body as to ten
der them predisposed thereto. When a
rase is advanced ti-eatment is of little avail.
If the cause it seen at the beginning it
should te attended to wit hout loss of time,
as delay is dangerous. It is probable, how
ever, there would tea limit to this deposi
tion ill an v ease, the animal afterwards
being enabled to work, though with an un
sightly big head.”

pulp and boil with the sugar, vinegar and
spices. To every seven pounds of grapes
use four-and-one-balf pounds of sugar, one
pint of good vinegar. Spice quite highly
with ground cloves nigi allspice, with a little
cinnamon.
Roast Reed Birds. —Pick your birds
carefully and draw them; place them in a
baking-pan with a little water and roast
them in a brisk oven: ten or fifteen minutes
will te sufficient: chop up the intestines and
make a sauce of them with the gravy from
the pan in which the birds were roasted, a
little water, butter and flour; lay the birds
on buttered toast and pouu the sauce over
them; send to table very hot.
Oyster Loaves. —With a poin#d, sharp
knife cut off the tops of some small, round
French rolls; scrape out the crumbs and fry
them crisp in clarified butter. Stow as many
oysters as needed. First, however, remove
the fringe, or “beard,” and cut them iu two.
Fill the rolls with the oysters, well mixed
with the crumbs, add a bit of butter to each,
put on the lids and set in the oven to brown.
Serve with fried bread crumbs sprinkled on
them.
Farm and Stock Notes.
Though a nuisance, crab-grass is not ob
jectionable as hay if properly cured. When
it is young all animals relish it and it pro
vides an agreeable green food where but
little hav is grown.
Potato vines (which contain a large quan
tity of potash) should te carefully raked up
and added to the compost or manure heap.
If in a green condition they will quickly de
compose and should, therefore, not lie al
lowea to dry on the rows after the crop is
dug.
A driven well can te put down in sandy
or loose soil at less cost tlian it takes to dig
and brick up an ordinary well, while the
water will te pure and free from decaying
toads and insects. At tnis season all open
wells should te thoroughly cleaned out in
order to guard against animal matter iu the
water.
Old bones and old cast-away shoes put on
a pile of dried brush, the trimmings of trees
aud vines, with any half-rotted wood around
the place, and the whole converted into ashes,
will make an excellent fertilizer for the gar
den. A little limestone, if obtainable, add
ed to the pile will increase the value of the
“remains.”
W hen manure is hauled to the fields and
left in heaps the rains wash out a portion of
the soluble matter, and the consequence is
that when the crops arc growing there will
te rich spots here and there, which aro un
sightly. The manure should either te spread
out when hauled or remain in the general
heap at the barn.
It is much better, when plowing the ground
late in the fall, to leave the ridges in the
rough condition instead of harrowing, as the
frost will exert more complete disintegra
tion of the clods. By late plowing, espe
cially after frost, the cutworms will te de
stroyed and the land more easily cross
plowed the following spring.
Prof. E. W. Stewart says that one ounce
or less of oil meal to a gallon of warm, sweet
whey will make it nearly equal in feeding
value to whole milk for the raising of a calf
to three weeks old, and after that another
quarter of an ounce may te safely added.
The oil meal should te dissolved in hot whey
before mixing with that of the right tem
perature to feed.
Fowls that are confined in yards and kept
warm in winter will give better results tne
entire year than when they are allowed to
roam at will. The hens that have free
range will sometimes lay more eggs in sum
mer than will those that are confined, but
the hens that are properly cared for during
the cold season will lay at a time when the
highest prices for eggs are usually obtained.
The old strawberry bed)? produce fruit a
little earlier than do the plants of the first
year’s growth. The old beds will require
hand weeding in the rows if the grass and
weeds are to te removed. If this te not
done the seeds of weeds will te left to grew
the next season. Cultivate between the
rows well and train the runners in close to
the rows if a thick ted of plants be de
sired.
Do not attempt to use kerosene and water
together, as the two liquids will not mix.
Hence some plants may te sprayed with
pure kerosene and others with the water. If
the kerosene te first mixed with milk or
strong soapsuds, and water then te added,
an emulsion may te obtained that will te
well mixed. Many plants are often killed
by improper modes of making the emul
sion, and too much care in regard to the
use of kerosene cannot te taken.
There is in Monmouth county, N. J., a
cow whose record as a breeder is so mar
velous that it is almost incredible. .She is a
result of a cross between the Jersev and
Ayrshire breeds and is now 7 years old. At
her first calving she produced three calves,
at her second calving three calves, at her
third calving three calves, at her fourth two
and at her fifth four calves —in all, fifteen
perfectly formed calves in five years, at five
cal vine's: aid each year she was bred to a
bull different from the one preceding.
This weighing of the milk, .testing the
cows and knowing to the dollar what one is
doing is a great help to the dairy farmer
and, for that matter, to every farmer. It
enables iiim to get rid of the poor milkers
and replace them with good ones; and the
latter cost no more P) keep or handle than
the former. Then he can improve his pro
duce by breeding to a bull of a good milk
ing strain, and thus add additional quarts
to each head daily. Again, he can study
what feed is Ixsvt ealeulated to increase the
flow of milk. He can put up ice and thus
keep his butter in good condition.

perfeetion, and thoroughly doson*© the hun

gold medal which waa presented to them at the

Wyoni, and is a tnte work of art.
One could not spend a pleasanter morning
anywhere than in the music room of the agent*
for these organs. There will be found all sorts

that can he packed in a Ik>x and conveniently
carried to a camp meeting in a by-street

for power and lx*auty of tone. There is also the
Queen's model, which received her majesty's
warmest approbation. The London music room
of this firm, with its comfortable lounges and
old engravings, is oihmi to all comers, and there
you will meet in its precincts the most cele
brated musicians of the day. Many of them
come and listen with rapt attention and admira

organists, who are always kind enough to play
