The Income from the Farm.
Any business that does not pay our in
come over and above the expense of carry
ing it should be abandoned or improved,
says Hon. W. J. Northen, in the Southern
Cultivator. Brain and muscle are too val
uable to be wasted year after year to main
tain a scant sustenance and an uncertain
hold on life.
Farmers, like other men, should not be
content to continue work in this field with
out profitable results. No man has dis
charged his duties to himself, his friends
and his fellows until he reaches the possi
bilities in his power and becomes the mas
ter of the business of his choice.
s;,, m an who has tried it will saythore are
no hindrances in the way to an income
from the farm. There are many, and some
of them are serious. The question is: Can
they be met and overcome ! Some of them,
such as the control and improvement of
our labor, tho sale of our products, the
purchase of our ncessities, cannot bo man
aged successfully by individual effort.
These must be determined by co-operativo
action. If the Farmers’ Alliance will do
nothing more than establish and maintain
a standard of industry, faithfulness and
moral character to which our labor
must bo brought, and give us a sys’em of
discipline by which this standard shall be
uniformly observed, it will bring millions
to the farmers of the south that are now
lost from idleness and from theft. It can
be done, and I believe this organization will
eventually effect it. Then the man who
goes from one farm to another will carry
with him a reputation upon which his liv
ing depends and by which the income of
his employer is measured. The improve
ment of our labor is the first step toward
the increase of our income.
While it is strange that we expect an in
crease from incompetent, insufficient
idlers, it is equally strange that we expec.
to make money from land utterly ex
hausted of its fertility. Thousands of acres
in Georgia are worked from year to year
that would actually, in their yields, not pay
for tho first plowing given to them. Of
what consummate folly we are guilty when
we expend twelve months of industrious
effort that will not pay us for one week of
service given! Poor lands need not ba
abandoned; if so, some of us might be al
together without. They can be and they
ought to be improved. Many methods of
improvement have been suggested—some of
them good and practical, others expensive
and long-continuod. I must believe, how
ever, that the best way to a bale of cotton
to the acre, and, and therefore, the best in
come from the farm, is through the barn
yard. A rotation of crops is put upon the
land and it is improved, because it gives off
certain elements and retains others, alter
nately. Still it is a process of exhaustion.
Green crops may be put upon the land for
the purpose of being given eventually and
entirely to the soil. These crops furnish us
po income except such as comes subse
quently, from the same soil after much time
has been expended in its recovery and its
recuperation.
Colts and cattle and sheep and hogs fur
nish us stock for the farm, milk and butter,
wool, mutton aud meat for our own susten
ance, and a handsome income in the mar
kets, while at the same time they furnish
us the most valuable means of recovering
our lands to remunerative yields. Every
farm, for its own improvement, to say
nothing of its income, should be at least a
miniature stock farm. The one, while a
valuable adjunct to the other, becomes it
self possibly as much a source of rev
enue. Especially is this true if the stock is
of the best selection. Farmers look too
much to what we call cheap things—cheap
land, cheap labor, cheap stock, etc. A
broken-down cheap mule will oftentimes
not pay for its food. A worthless laborer,
that is cheap because he is worthless, will do
a farmer more good over the fence than in
his fields. A cheap cow that gives a gallon
of milk a day may possibly make as much
manure as one that cost more money, but
she gives a poor return for the labor be
stowed upon her and her increase isscarcoly
worth tho trouble and care given it. To
make the best income we must have the
best appliances. This is certainly true of
stock on tho farm.
Having in view the improvement of our
land, we begin the raising of stock for man
ure. This brings about a valuable income
m itself in the use and sale of the products
of the stock, and encourages a diversity of
crops that give us just that many more
chances for increase of our Income. Our
lands find rest under crops of clover and
Bermuda, and at the same time make a val
uable yield in the sale of the crops or the
: raising of stock. Every farm in Georgia
can raise barley and rye, clover and Ber
muda, to furnish colts enough to meet its
demands and some for sale; to maintain
cattle enough to make good increase in
sales and improved sheep and hogs, and
then enough hay to sell to meet the ex
pense for the outlay. All this can be done
without perceptibly hindering the usual
crops of the farm and the land, at the same
time broughtto the highest state of cultiva
tion. Let us improve our land in such way
04 the effort at improvement will itself
bring an income. Stock-raising must in
future be a good olemant in successful agri
culture at tlie south and in increasing the
Income an the farm.
Ihe Scale Insect on Orange Trees.
A gentleman of Boardman, Fla., writing
io the New Orleans Picayune in answer to
in inquiry wtiether tho long insect on the
range trees of Plaquemiue Parish, La., are
ha sanw a* those which infest the
range treos of Florida, says: You’wish to
now whether this is the same scale that in
sists !he orange treos in Florida and what
'a do for it. It is probably the same
facies of the pest that infests out trees,
iere groves that aro not well cultivated are

kcessive cold or neglect or poverty of soil
r from any cause become weak and sickly.
surß to be attacked by scale. The best
f all remedies for this as for all diseases to
hicli vegetable as well as animal life is
ibject is prevention.
Bow ig that doDe? Keep the trees
and vigorous by good cultivation,
if the soil is pSor, by applying proper
"tili/.ers. Cultivation of the grove begins
’a December or January. The soil is
over, turning under all vegetable
" it is plowed or harrowed
inflated at frequent intervals
Therf°P “ planted. These are
under trad cultivated once, twice
’• sowing is made in May
or June. After the cultivation of the yea
crop is fln;sbo<l the grove receives no more
plowing until winter. The trees should be
hoed around carefully in August aud pea
vines prevented from climbing upon them.
Peas are left to rot on the ground; some
prefer to plow them uuder in September.
I will detail to you my personal experi
ence with the scale. My grove of 1,103 8
aud 9-year-old trees I discovered in the
spring of 1887 were alarmingly infested with
scale, mostly the long kind. In common
with all orange trees in this section of
Florida mine had been damaged by the mem
orable cold of January, 188(5. During that
year the trees generally looked badly and
did not make as much growth as usual. It
was remarked by orange growers that tho
cold had not been an unmitigated evil, for
it has killed all the scale. None appeared on
the trees in 1886, but iti ISS7 they appeared
in great numbers ou all the trees that had
been damaged by the cold. Being a novice
in orange culture I applied to my neighbors
and to books treating on the subject for ad
vice.
I first trimmed the trees, cutting off all
and ad wood and much of the branches cov
ered by scale and all superfluous inner
branches, hollowing the trees, as it is termed
here. Then with a Whitman’s force pump
I sprayed them all over with*the emulsion
recommended by Prof. Riley, viz: Whale
oil soap, % pound; water, 1 gallon; bring to
a boil, remove from fire and add 2 gallons
kerosene, stirring vigorously until cooled;
add this to 27 gallons water and mix woll
with pump. A better way, however, of
applying this is to uso a Nixou nozzle. The
emulsion forced through it is finely atom
ized. Four or five pounds of a commer
cial fertilizer was thinly scattered broad
cast around each tree, good cultivation
afterward and a heavy crop of conch peas.
The trees soon assumed a dark green color
aud grew vigorously. Iu a few months the
scale was gone. Good cultivation and ap
plication of fertilizers, if needed will, how
ever, dispel the scale and restore the trees
to health without the application of in
secticides. But it will take a longer time.
The denuded branches of your correspond
ent’s trees are probably dead; possibly the
trunks also. Examination will test the
question. If tops aro dead and trunks living
I would cut off all the top and wash the
trunk with the above described emulsion.
If trunks are dead and roots living it might
be advisable to cut them off at the ground.
It is doubtful, however, about their ever
making good trees after being killed to the
ground.
How to Trim a Lamp Wick.
If a lamp wick is trimmed by shears,
cutting it across just below the charred
part, one end will almost certainly be left
higher than the other, explains an expert in
the American Analyst. In such a case the
wick can not be turned up enough to give
much light, because the higher end of it
will begin to smoke before the remainder
of it gives out one-quarter of the light that
it should. If the wick is cut straight
across, the flame will be irregular. This
kind of a flame is caused by inequalities of
combustion at the sides and e ids of the
wick. To cut a wick exactly square across
is almost impossible, oven if it were best,
aDd a flame with a low center and a tall,
flaring, smoky horn on each end is a bad
flame. It is bad for the lamp chimneys and
for the eyes. No lamp which has such a
flame is properly trimmed. If one trie3 to
avoid the horned flame by rounding off the
ends of the wick, an imperfect flame will
result. This flame may not crack chimneys,
but it will give out but little light. It
shows an honest attempt to trim th3 lamp
properly, but an unsuccessful one. To
secure a good flame the lamp trimmer
should be instructed to turn the wick up
until about one-eighth of an inch projects
above the brass sheath. Next let him take
off the charred portion. Let this be done
with the forefinger and thumb. Cutting
with shears, besides the mischiefs already
set forth, will take off more than is neces
sary. Rubbing off the charred portion
with a back of a knife or a blunt edge of
any kind will generally leave fibres which
will cause an uneven light. With the finger
aud thumb just enough can be taken off
and taken off smoothly. All that will not
easily break off is good sound wick, no
matter bow black it may bo. To cut a wick
down to the very white every time it is
trimmed results in a waste of one-half of
it. After pinching off the burned portion
of the wick just take as little off the cor
ners of it as a sharp pair of shears will
take hold of and cut. There is always more
danger that too much will be taken off than
too little. But if just the right quantity is
removed and the cut on the two corners are
made at the same angle, the lamps will give
out a broad, white flamo. To trim anew
wick, turn the wick down until the loose
and unravelled end projects from the brass
sheath and light it before the oil fills it. It
will quickly burn down to the sheath, leak
ing a straightedge and canthen be trimmed
as directed above. The end can as well be
burned down to the sheath before the wick
is put into the oil.
The Mtlk Cure.
Talking about the milk cure, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, it has caused a
decided boom in the dairy trade, and we
can scarcely supply our custom, as it was
already sufficiently large. Milk is the de
mand of the hour, the greatest call being
among tho physicians, their families and
patients. One prominent medical man al
ways orders fivo gallons a day, two-fifths of
which is consumed by himself. He does
not take so much now, liecauso ho unfortu
ilately is a victim of the cocaino habit. Tile
deadly drug is slowly killing him, and he is
gradually abandoning his praotice, which
was an immense one. One of his favorite
methods of cure for his nervous i ationts is
to order them to be quiet for several
months and to take milk as their only
nourishment, and in largo quantities. I
know one lady who was considered a victim
of cancer, who was unable to retain any
thing except milk for six months. Yet sh > ,
eventually recovered. However, in casos
of dyspepsia milk ought to be tabooed, and
such people should confine thomsolvei ex
clusively to buttermilk, which lias already
gone through a process of digestion before
it enters the stomach. Buttermilk is a cure
in itself for disorders arising from indiges
tion. But the way sweet milk is used now
in all drinks, the saloons and drug stores,
In “milk shakes,” eta, is surprising. How
ever, its most unique demand is as an arti
ticle of the toilet, which use is constantly
growing. Why, I have twelve regular
orders, four of them on Lindell avenue,
from ladies, for eight gallons of milk daily.
In this the rnistres. of the bouse takes her
evening bath. She considers this equal to
the champagne bath, so celebrated am >ng
Parisian ladies, only the milk baths are
much less expensive, skimmed miik being
considered sufficient, and eight gallons

pose the idea is an offspring of the popular
craze for modernizing the antique, and
Poppa®, the b 'autiful wife of Nero, who
daily bathed in milk for the benefit of her
complexion, is perhaps the example.
Killing: Holes on Cattle.
Ticks, as they draw blood from the cattle,
impart poisonous qualities to the blood in
the veins-that often seriously injure cattle,
says the New Orleans Picayune. They
should be destroyed when possible to do so.
We have every coufidenee in kerosene
emulsions in destroying ticks, but think
that a little train oil and cirbolio acid
added, after the omulsion is made of soap,
kerosense and water, would be more effec
tual, and the new crops of ticks would be
kept off by the train oil, which would re
main where applied for some time.
Some people are afraid ta use kerosene on
cattle. They say it will cause the hair to
drop off. Wo have used kerosene by itself
on cattle and never noticed such result.
The emulsio*i can be made as strong as
necessary—half strong soapsuds and half
kerosene—if weaker solutions do not destroy
the ticks. We have used 25 per cent, car
bolic acid and 75 per cent, soapsuds on hogs
to kill lice and mange and never saw bad
results from strong mixlures, but have seen
lice and mange suddenly disappear. This
mixture, not so strong, will kill mange and
fleas on dogs.
Farm and Stock Notes.
The American cattle shipped to Great
Britain la-t year were valued at an average
of si):i per head at the port of shinme.it,
while the Canadian cattle were valued at
only ?84 per liend.
Always afford shelter from the winds in
some manner. A cold wind will do more
damage in an hour, to stock, than w ill a
quiet sti 1 day that, is cold and severe. It is
the air in motion that takes away the heat
of the bodies.
There can be a great saving of food by
cutting the straw, mixing it with grain,
and feeding once a day, in place of hay.
Straw is not as nutriti us as hay, but when
made to serve as a part of the diet it can be
utilized with advantage.
Strange to say, many farmers do not
take proper care of expensive machinery,
and oven allow some implements to remain
in the fields. As farm machinery and im
plements are the most co tly items of farm
ing, quite a saving can be effected by keep
ing such under cover, and wall cloanod aud
oiled.
Mowing keeps down the weeds and de
stroys them. If a grass plot is mowed in
the summer and the dry grass burnt over
after frost, the weeds cm be kept out. If
weeds appear in the pasture early in the
spring before the grass makes headway, cut
them down. At this season all stubble
should be cleaned off.
Damn floors cause cold, due to evapora
tion. The feet of animals are inju’red, and
disease of the limbs occur when they are
compelled to stand or sleep on damp) loca
tions. The bed of the animal is very im
portant. It is economical to use clean, dry
material daily, and not delay changing the
bedding until tho whole is saturated with
urine.
Whero raspberries and other small fruits
are grown in the garden, and the labor is
not great for so doing, they should be
banked up with dirt as a protection to the
roots and canes against frosts. Trees are
also benefitted by having earth banked
against them. The earth should be re
removerl early in the spring and the ground
leveled.
Barb wire is not well suited for the gar
den fenco. but a cheap ornamental and sub
stantial gardoq fence may be made of
“spiral strips” if properly constructed. The
posts should be set 8 feet apart and the cor
ner posts braced firmly, also tho poss
at openings. They may be painted any de
sired color. Bore holes with bit for
the strip to pass through at such distances
as may be desired. A fine fence is made of
six strands, or a better one of five strands
and a scantling spiked along the tops of the
posts.

MRS. WALLACE AND CLEOPATRA.
A New Version of tho Story of Lady
• Ellenborough.
New York Nov. 17. —Mrs. Lew Wallace
has been writing anew book which she
calls “The Repose in Egypt,” In it she
discusses the Pyramids. Suez and Sinai, the
Obelisks and Alexandria, and, iu connec
tion with her account of the latter city, she
tells some ontertniniug things regarding
Cleopatra, who, ouce in the tropical ail's of
that old city, rode on swift camels and
floutari in gilded barges with Anthony, and,
after years of revel, she was buried there,
with imperial pomp, m his tomb. For
women who erroneously think that beauty
alone pleases, Mrs. Wallace pictu e;C'te >p -
tra as oew itching in manners, but not per
sonally even pretty. She had comma’ Uof
seven languages, and she knew low to flatter
the vanity of men, by adapting herself to
their varying moods and exerting herself to
be fascinating. Her whole aim and study
was to please, and her voice was line a
musical instrument tuned with nianv
strings. The secret of her success with
Anthony was that she gave him no time to
think, lest reflection and repentance might
rob her of her hero. Mrs. Wall ice saw the
portrait of Cleopatra at Denderah, mid has
much of interest to say of this woman who
he din check the general's w ars, changed
the map of the world, and a hied miseries to
the hard into of the Egyptians.
One of the pretty word-pictures maffo by
Mrs. Wallace is her account of the l'o pin -
rns at that point where the s.voct waters of
Asia meet the rapid currents of tins i iver.
Here it is: “Would you have one day lino
the stuff which dreams are made of, an
idyllic day, that will stand apart from • t! er
pictu ed menones far and near, go to t •
Valley of Sweet Waters, the laiauty spot
of the Bosphoros. In the lazy afternoons
it is the resort of lovely ladies, pallid as
lilies, robed in vaporuis draper! s of snow
drift and thistle down, scenteu with rose
and musk. White veils, dim, mysterious,
hide their faces, all but the swimioin ,
lustrous eyes. Oh! what eyes they l.nre!
Bright as stars, black as death, dreamy
pictures they* make, reclining on the c iui
sou cushions of the rocking carique, which
is dra|ied with India shawls or Persian
hangings. The armed slave iu the smrn is
clad in barbaric splendor, the rowers ii
wide, white trousers, and scarlet jacket,
stiff w ith gold embroidery. Greek boat
men, bearing the old names that can never
die.”
But by far the most attractive p rtion of
her book is the acc unt of Lady Ellonbor
ough, the Englishwoman, w i uoertel
ho io, husband and children, t > g > aid
live in the cast. Tho autlmr tells it at cn
siderable length, and with a n.edle-s
amount of reticence as regards real names,
as the world has known her stiry these
many years.
Lady Ellen—as sho calls her—fi ll from
England to Italy, aud, atteT years of reck
less living, went to Greece. J.or husband
divorced himself from her, aud her large
fortune was at her disposal. She married
a nobleman in the service of King Otho, of
Gyeece, and lost her husband through the
qu eu’s command. Lady Ellen then went
to the east, and Mrs. Wallace says of hor
traYels:
“Sho would be queen again in another
emnire, a 7, nobia, a ruler in tho desert,
aud her w illing subjects shoul t bo the
untamed and untamable Bedouins. To
fit nerself for fresh adventure and sway
their imaginary scepter, Lady Eden stud
ied Arabic. There are oid citizens of
Beyrout who remember tie stir among au
idle populace when the greaj, English
lady lauded at the seaport, and, un
crowned, yet a queen, sot out for the
shadowy realm where she should rule by
divine right. Lady Ellen bought a palace
at Damascus and furnished it luxuriously.
Said one of her countrywomen, resident at
Damascus, sho was always the perfect lady
in sentiment, voice, man >ers( sp och; for
those who enjoyed hyr c nlidenoo it was a
treat to pass hours in her * cietv. Tho vari
colored shows of Damascus had a strong
hold on Lady Ellen, and they amused her
for a time, but her palace was filled, and
tho monotony of tho place palled upon her.
Ono morning she abruptly announced tl at
she wai tired of Damascus, aud longed to
see Bagdad. Why should sho be cooped up
in stone walls when the free desert wus
wooing her? Bile went into the desert under
tho escort of Sheik Aiitar and a small ro
tinue. Very naturally he fell iu lovo with
the unveiled Giaour, and finally ho proposed
to divorce all bis Moslem wives and marry
Lady Ellen. One half the year he would
pass with her in Damascus, and the other
half in the desert. She married him in big
tent with no witnesses but his amazed com
panions. To her horror, she learnod that
see had, in so doing, lost her nationality
and become a Turkish subject. But she
never repented. Buy made over to him her
palace and her gardens at Damascus, aud
for six months or each year she was on the
desert. For fifteen years she livod this life,
and was never separated from her husband,
to whom she was devotedly attached. It
was said that she never lost anything of
the English lady, nor the soft less of a
woman; to tho lost she was fresh and
young, brave, refined and delicate. Her
grave isa beautiful shrine—astiady pavilion
of rosy-veined marble pillared with silver
and pearl and ceiled with vermilion and
blue. Sho was worshiped by the tribe,
and to this day the Arabs f the desert sing
the tender romance of their Chief luseii,
whose hair was of amber, whose eyes were
like Sirius when the Nile begins to swell.”

MEDICAL.
Dyspepsia
Is one of the most prevalent of diseases.
Few persons have perfect digestion.
One of Ayer’s Pills, taken after dinner,
or a dose at night before retiring, never
fails to give relief in the worst cases,
and wonderfully assists the process of
nutrition. Asa family medicine, Ayer’s
Pills are unequaled.
James Quinn, 90 Middle st., Hartford,
Conn., testifies: “I liavejused Ayer's
Pills for the past thirty years and con
sider them au invaluable family medi

liver troubles, and have always found
them a prompt cure for dyspepsia."
Lucius Alexander, of Marblehead,
Mass., was long a severe sufferer from
Dyspepsia, complicated with enlarge
ment of the Liver, most of the time
being unable to retain any food in li.is
stomach. Three boxes of Ayer’s Pills
cured him.
