Broom Corn as a South' 1-11 Cro P- Mr. D. R. Pi sbury, writips to the Florida Dispatch, says that amorg the very prom ising crops for Florida I-regard broom corn as one of the first importance. The whole family to which it belongs seems well adapted to our soft- anti conditions. Tlje sorghums, A siatiynnd African, grow well, as l have proven with little or no fertilizers and loss care. Broom corn is one of those crops in wluo* little is removed from the soil, and with a reasonably fertile soil to start with, it may lie continuously grown. Judging t v oin my experience w'itli sorghum I conclude that by rattooning two good crops may be had in a season, the two yielding 1,200 to 1,000 weight of brush. To produce the finest quality of brush the seeds are not allowed to ripen, and the stalks, blades and immature seeds are, or may be, returned to the soil, so it seems more than probable that a moderate ma nuring with cotton seed meal at the outset and light dressings of bone thereafter would increase the fertility of the land. I know of but one drawback to continu ous cropping, and that is the slowness with which the stalks and stubs decay. This may not prove so serious a difficulty here as North, where frost and cold step in and oc cupy about all the time between harvesting one crop and planting another, more or less completely arresting decay. Florida should raise her own brooms, just as she should her own hay, meat and many other things. A good broom can be put on the market for less than 15c., while we pny twice that or more. Brush for 500 brooms, at least, can be grown on an acre. I leave the figuring to the farmer. Let him determine whether he can afford to grow a crop costing as lit tle for fertilizer as improving to his soil and as healthful to his purse. The great broomcorn fields of the country now are the wide plains west of the Mis souri. The vast region that we old men remember as marked on the maps we studied, “The Great American Desert,” lying between the Arkansas river and the Missouri, as it winds westward, far up in Dakota, is now, as it will be for months to come, sending out thousands of car loads of “brush,” labeled “Firsts,” “Seconds,” “Twisted,” bound for the great distributing centres. Chicago and Philadelphia are great broomcorn markets, Boston takes a great share, and Florida housekeepers deftly and daily—l presume—wield that exceedingly handy and useful article, to the making of which the wide-awake farmer cf the treeless and fenseless Western plains, the lumberman of Ohio or Indiana, and the mechanic of some Eastern city have con tributed. The management of the crop is simple enough: the harvesting, cleaning and dry ing quite as easy, and making a broom so simple a process that any man can learn it in a day. Almost any town would support a little factory, or, as is often done, the farmer might make up his own corn and supply his local market, for, unlike most manufactured articles, division of labor and machinery cannot make such a broom about as economically as many men can make a great- number. The Pine Country. A correspondent of the New England Farmer, writing from Mobile, says of the “piney woods” region of Alabama and Georgia, “I expect to see the day—and I cannot think it distant—when w hat is called the piney woods region will be thickly dotted with beautiful residences—some seeking health, others profit in various vo cations, and yet others the mere luxury of climate for winter. A great many people think this is a malarious country, but it is one of the most heaitnful on the continent. The drainage is perfect—the country being l olling, almost broken in places—springs are abundant and dear-water streams nu merous. The water is very pure and soft, the roots of the pine beiug antiseptic. The coldest weather is from 12” to 20% taking the upper and lower points, respectively, of the pine belt; i>d this temperature repre sents degrees not touched probably once in ten years, and then only of the shortest du ration. For pulmonary' ami rheumatic complaints I think the climate unsurpassed. 1 could give you a long letter on the former topic alone. Fruits, such as grapes, figs, apples, pears, peaches, strawberries, black berries and pomegranates can lie raised with great profit and success; and I feel pretty sure that cherries and raspberries can be, although my investigations do not warrant anytlriig beyond a strong belief. Vegetables without number can be raised and t he profits are enormous. Both fruits and vegetables can be had through much longer seasons than with you. The flowers have a brightness of hue that I have never seen equaled and many are in bloom all winter through. Preserving Manures. The Philadelphia Record says that there is annually a large waste of the valuable properties of manure, and the rivers carry to the sea much of the wealth of the land. Manure is really the true wealth of the country, for it contains within itself all the essential elements that produce the crops that serve as food and many of the raw materials that enter into manufactures. Every ounce of it that is saved is so much wealth retmn-d for use at another time and the saving o the manure is the most im portant matter . the farm. The fertilizing propertie,: manure arc lost in many ways. The rains carry off the soluble ingredients as fast ns decomposition changes the solids, while the winds, in evaporating the moist ure, also take away portions of the volatile matter. Not only should the manure be sheltered from the winds and rain, but it must be managed in a manner so as to pre vent loss of volatile mat ter, as the cases generated are sometimes the most valuable portions. The manure heap is really a la twratory and the farmer a chemist, even though his knowledge of chemistry may bo limited. Of the fact that manure can be benefited and made more valuable all farm ers are familiar, for by' using absorlients they know that the essential elements are partially retained, but the decomposition of the manure and its convert ion into plant food depend upon the temperature of the atmosphere, its humidity and its composi tion; and judgment must be exercised in its preservation, as no two manure heaps are alike. The volatile matter can be con verted into solids, however, and in that manner the plant food may lie retained. As manure does not become plant food until entirely decomposed, or ro changed in char acter as to revert to its original chemical ■elements or combinations, much of it is not i appropriated by plants until long after it | has remained in the ground. To “fix” the 1 ammonia, which is the most valuable por j tion, it can be changed into a sulphate, ar.d I this may be easily effected by the free use I of sulphate of potash (crude kainit) in the j heap, which also causes a change of other j elements. Plaster is also used, but it is j more of an absorbent of ammonia, though lit finally assists in forming sulphates By the use of kainit, adding all the liquids, turning the heap over often so as to keep the coarser material to the centre, it will not only greatly assist in preserving the manure, but will render it better adapted for plant food. A Garden Hotbed. An exchange thinks 1 the best method of preparing a hotbed for a small garden is to excavate a trench two feet deep, three feet w ide and as long os desired, selecting a sunny and well-drained spot; sprinkle a little stable litter in the bottom and on this shovel enough horse-stable manure to make 13 to 15 inches in thickness after it is well tramped down; around the bed construct a frame or crib of boards, a foot high and 18 inches at the back, with ends beveled to fit the sides, the whole to be covered with glass in sash that can be conveniently raised or lifted off when required. Home manure should also be put around the frame on the outside and covered with earth to keep out the cold air. Horse-stable manure, mixed with a mode rate amount of the bedding, is the right kind to use. and it should he hauled out and piled up a few- days near the trench, and be forked over several times and kept moist but not drenching w et until the heap is well heated up, when it should be shoveled in the pit as directed and covered with five or six inches of rich soil as a bed for the seed. If the heat is excessive at any time remove the whole or a portion of the sash, and on warm days this should always be done. Where old sashes are on hand the bed may be made of a size to suit them and save the expenses of new. In sprouting large quantities of sweet potatoes for plants many producers cover their beds with coarse muslin as being cheaper than glass and answering the pur pose quite well. Bloat in Cattle D. Thompson gives the following as a sure cure for bloat in cattle to the Home and Farm: When an animal found to be afflicted with hoven, if there is life in it, fasten its head so it can be controlled and put in a quart of cold water about half a pound of common soda. Put this mixture in a long-necked bottle, if one is at hand, if not a common flask bottle will do; place the neck of the bottle well back in the animal’s mouth. Take care not to put it between the teeth, as the animal is liable to crush it, which would very likely be the last crush ing it would ever do. Pour the mixture slowly down the throat, and if swallowing is difficult it can be aided by rubbing down each side of the gullet with the hand. This remedy never fails to give relief; if one quart does not do it two will. I have tried this remedy several times, and from five to ten minutes is as long as it ever postpones action. I have seen animals so near dead they could not walk and in fifteen minutes they would be perfectly well. The gas passes off so rapidly that you can see the animal shrink. A New Way of Planting Irish Potatoes. A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune describes anew way to plant Irish potatoes. He says: The best and only crop of Irish potatoes I ever raised in the latter part of summer, on to the fall season, I got by planting out the vines. I will give your readers the plan and they-, too, can experi ment. When the vines are in full blossom cut off the limbs of the vines from 10 to 12 inches in length. Have the rows ready and opened deep with a plow ; place the butt end of the vine on the bottom of a furrow and lean it on an angle of 40” or 45'; pull the dirt in with a hoe and cover vino and leaves, all entire except the bud. Do this when the ground is moist and in three days they will put out roots and make good vines and good potatoes. Faults of California Fruit. A miner writes to the New Orleans Pica yune. as follows: I never fail to find the empty fruit can on the highest peak or in the most inaccessible gulch, and as there are hard frosts even in the middle of July-, this region will always be dependent on the out side world for fruit and vegetables. Cali fornia farmers with commendable enter prise supply us with fruit. But if the truth must be told their fruit, though beautiful to look upon, has about as much flavor as a pumpkin. Pears and peaches are particu larly poor. In the nature of things it must always be so with the fruit of dry climates. The essential oils which give fruit then flavor and flowers their fragrance are most largely developed in a saturated atmos phere. Household. Ham Omelet.— Chop very finely, or pound in a mortar to a paste, some lean, tender boiled ham; mix a tablespoonful with the beaten eggs and cook as directed. In like manner may be made excellent ome lets of cold tongue, chicken, veal or any kind of fowl, the remnant of a previous meal. Corn Omelet.—Grate finely, so that there may be only tbc pulp of the kernels, as much boiled sweet corn as is needful for the number of omelets wanted; mix a tea spoonful with the beaten egg and cook as directed. It requires to be watched care fully and cooked rapidly to prevent its sticking to the pan. Breakfast Omelet.—Three eggs, two tablespoonfuls cream, one-half saltspoonful salt, one ounce butter. Beat the eggs, cream and salt lightly together until froth begins to rise, but no longer; pass them through the sieve, to break any hard bits of yolk, and cook according to general di rections. This is called by the French “om elette au naturel.” Parsley Omelet.—Mix with the eggs a taiilespoonful of finely chopped parsley and cook as directed. It is sometimes varied bv the addition of a little finely-minced shal lots or button onions; also, by mixing with the parsley some thyme or sweet marjoram, a tablespoonful in all. This is the famous French “omelette aux fines herbes;” it is the most, popular of all omelets and is to be had at everv wayside inn ip even the mast remote corners of sunny France. Herb Omelet.—A variety of omelets may be made from the different herbs used in cookery, as thyme, sweet marjoram and the like, as well as the delicate lady sorrel. Watercress and the green tops of young carrot or celery make quite acceptable fla vors. They must all be finely chopped amt ntay be used either plain or mixed, to suit the taste. The daintiest of all is the watercress—it is so crisp and tender. When made of a variety of herbs this omelet is called by the French a “jardiniere.” Hweet Omelet.— Cook a plain breakfast offielet. as directed and, when just ready to .turn, put in a heaping tablespoonful of any kind of sweetmeats, like strawberry, rasp berry or any larger fruit, chopped intodiee; then fold and turn out as directed; sprinkle with powdered sugar, have ready a red-hot THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1887. poker, hold it close to but not touching tho sugar, and quickly brown the top of the omelet in stripes like a gridiron, and garnish with bits of jelly laid around the edge of the dish. Breakfast Soi'fflee.— I Three eggs, two tablespoonfuls double cream, one saltspoon ful suit, one ounce fresh butter. These omelets derive their name from the French verb “souffler” (to blow or puff up), on ac count of their light, frothy character. Beat the yelks and salt well together, to which add the cream well whipped; beat the whites to a stiff froth and stir lightly into tho yelks; pour immediately into the melted nutter in the pan and cook as directed. It requires the utmost watchfulness and skill to prevent scorching. It is recommended by some to set the pan in the oven for a moment to brown, but this renders it less digestible to weak stomachs. All of the various styles of breakfast omelets can be cooked in this manner. Farm and Stock Notes. In farming, as in other things, nothing risked means nothing won; hut the risks should bo taken with both courage and judgment. Affection cannot be pounded into animals. Kind treatment insures the affection of an animal, while rough treatment is sure to cause its hatred. Fifteen years ago Chicago merchants ob tained their supplies of cheese from the East; now 10,(XX>,(XX) pounds annually pass through that city from tho West for New Y ork. More sheep means more grain to the acre, better pastures and a larger pocketbook. Wool must bo had and the demand for good mutton is on the increase. Asa rule there is nothing on the farm which pay s better than a good flock of sheep. Sheep not in the best, condition for breed ing should be got rid of without delay. Distemper, foot rot and other difficulties in a ilock cause too much labor. Only the healthy ewes should be retained. All others, unless nearly well, should ho destroyed. A cross cow in a herd keeps the others always in perpetual fear, and in that man ner lessens tho milk from the others in quantity more than may be sufficient to balance thut given by the cross one. A cross or domineering cow should be got rid of. It is quite expensive to put an acre of ground in onions owing to the high price of seed, while tho labor of raising an acre of them is also arduous and costly; hut should an acre of onions be secured, and the crop good it will pay well, as some growers have obtained os many as 600 bushels per acre. A covering of fine, well-rotted manure placed over the strawberry rows will serve as a mulch and protect the young plants. In the spring the soluble matter will be ap propriated by the growing plants as soon as the season shall begin to open, thus causing them to push forward rapidly. Spring work of manuring them will also be saved. A good cow should yield 265 pounds of blitter a year, allowing for the time she is dried off. This yield is seldom secured from each animal in a dairy herd, but it is not impossible, as such yield has been greatly exceeded. By using the butter-producing breeds and feeding for the highest possible production, the profits from a herd may be doubled. Only ruminant animals are liable to choke with roots, as all others arc obliged to chew before swallowing their food. Turnips for sheep are not cut at all in England, the common practice lying to turn the sheep in the field and allow them to harvest it. They will gnaw out the interior of a large turnip, leaving only the pungent outside shell. There is a point to be observed in fitting a barn for tho reception of horses, and that is the size of the stalls. The narrow di mensions of the stalls are a positive cruelty to the horse. Many stalls are built too nar row to enable the horse to extend his limbs up under him; his legs are thus kept in a cramped position, when he ought to be com pletely at rest. Pines and their companions, the birches, indicate a dry, rocky, sandy or gravelly soil; beeches, a dryish, chalky or gravelly soil; elnts and limes, a rich and somewhat damp soil; oaks and ashes, a heavy clayey soil, and poplars and willows a low, damp or marshy soil. Many of these trees are found growing together, and it is only when one species predominates in number and vigor that it is truly characteristic of the soil and that portion of the atmosphere in connection with it. Beekeeping can be followed in all parts of this land of ours—North, South. East, and West. In nearly ail localities bees will do well. There is scarcely any locality in which they will not pay then way. In tßecountry and in the village there is little probability of overstocking for years to-come. Incase a locality becom: overstocked, some bee keepers must remove to unoccupied terri tory. Even in cities a few hives can be profitably kept, as is shown by the good success of Mr. Muth, of Ohio, who keeps quite an apiary on the roof of his store. Popular Science. The experiment of silk-raising in Texas has proved very successful. Nine cables connect Europe and America. Altogether there are now in use 113,000 nau tical miles of cable. Claret or other wine stains may be re moved from washable fabrics by holding them in milk while it is boiling. It is noted that timber that has been floated down rivers is not subject to dry-rot. The water dissolves the salts and albumen. Good babbitt metai should break and fly off in chips when cut with a cold chisel. Metal that is too soft will curl up in long chips. Potel, a German scientist, makes an arti ficial cork from glue, glycerine and tannin. It is elastic, impervious, strong, durable and cheap. The Milling World says that steel may lie bronzed by covering it with olive oil anti exposing it to the steam of a kettle of boil ing water. The use of sugar as a means of prevent ing boiler incrustation is condemned, as formic acid is generated by such use, at tacking the iron of the boiler. The waste slag from the basic converters, especially where the ore is of a phosphor escent nature, is being extensively ground up for manure. It is in great, demand. Dr. Guillotiu did not invent the neat de capitating machine that bears his name. An old print has just been given the town museum of Halifax, Eng., which shows that the guillotine was used there 200 years ago. A criminal was guillotined at Naples in 126$ and the machine was used in Persia long before that date. It has been found that a good impression of any article of metal having a flat, orna mental surface may be taken by wetting some note paper with the tongue and smok ing it over a gas flame. The article is then to be pressed upon the smoked part when, if the operation be carefully conducted, a clear impression will be the result. Referring to the British birds that swarm in South Africa in winter Prof. Seebohm states that on the coast of Natal he must have seen hundreds of thousands of barn swallows, evidently collected to return to Northern Eu.ope. Swifts and other British species were numerous. Many ot these did not breed within B,(XX) miles of those parte, and some not within 10,000 milos. Ma. Ed. P. Thompson has found that the blackening of the glass of incandescent lamps is cnieLy due to the carbon particles which are driven off on first closing the cir cuit when the filament obtains a static charge. In order to avoid this Mr. Thomp son has made lamps in which the filament surrounds a loop or stem of copper wire, which passes through the stein of the lamp anti is connected to earth; the wire tielng also provided with several points, that pro ject toward the fl Anient. Tne result is that when the static charge is received the car bon molecules tend to be projected upon the wire and the blackening of the glass is pre vented. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CEnFa WORD.

The American Art Journal of New York thus speaks of Mrs. Cecilia S. P. Cary, of Rochester, N. Y. who is now recognized a* one of the finest Pianists and most success ful Teachers that America has produced: “Mrs. Cary made flying visits to New York, receiving valuable instruction from S. B. Mills, and drawing inspiration from tlioso two great tone masters, Tholberg and Gottschalk. The production of a pure •singing tone had always been a study with her, and, observing that these two great pianists used only the Chickening Pianos, she made a thorough investigation, which resulted in her purchasing the iirst Chick ening Grand that went, into Western Now York. Binee that time Mrs. Cary lias bean a firm and steadfast friend of that Piano Forte, and it is a matter of conscience with her to advise the use of these instruments with her class, over 10 ot whom possess Chickening Grands.” A Word to the Wise.—A Piano which is used and indorsed by such magnificent artists ns Thai berg, GotLschalk, Rivi King, Teresa Careno, tVm. H. Sherwood and Mrs. Cary is certainly a safe and desirable Piano to buy. Over 74,(83) Chickerings have boon sold, and to-day, as always, the Chickkring Pianos lead the world.
