Shall We Raise Hogs?
A great deal has been said to the farmers
at the south, to induce them to raise their
own supplies. It is generally conceded, by
the farmers themselves, that it is much
cheaper to produce, at home, all food crops
necesary for farm stock, but it is not so gen
erally believed that it will pay to raise the
meat needed by our la*bor.
Taking circumstances just as they are,
this may, po-sibly, be true, says the Hon.
W. J. Northen, in the Southern Cultivator ;
but making circumstances as they should be,
should very much change the condition of
things. In this, as in every other business, we
would seek the best best appliances and the
most convenient and profitable arrange
ments. Let us arrange our crops, our past
ures and our conveniences for proper care,
and the matter will bo successfully settled.
Our lands and our labor are very much
cheaper than at the west With proper
preparation and judicious cultivation, our
crops can be produced as cheaply and as
abundantly as at the west, and the capital
necessary to bring about the same results
is, therefore, very much lessened. In other
words, a hog worth in the markets $25,
grown upon cheaper lands, cheaper prod
ucts audinainore favorable climate will
bring a larger profit to a southern farmer
thati if raised under the conditious neces
sary at the west.
Ti e mistake we make is the expensive
food given to hogs. It is not desirable nor
profitable to feed hogs so exclusively corn,
as is generally done at the south. Much of
this expense will be reduced in good past
ure. It is astonishing to see how thrifty and
vigorous hogs become on good Bermuda
pasture, with very little other food. Such
' pasture can be greatly increased by sowing
red clover, at the proper season with the
Bermuda, and have both grow together.
The land must, of course, be well prepared
before receiving the clover seed. Lucern,
a special food for hogs, has been found ad
mirably adapted to the soil and the climate
of the south. These grasses will not grow, to
advantage, on worn out, thin land; nor does
it ever pay to expect profitable results in
grazing the lands usually given to pasture
at the south. Select good land, prepare it
thoroughly, fertilize as far as may bo possi
ble, and seed to the grasses already indi
cated, an and the foundation is laid for profita
ble hog raising.
In addition to pasture, crops may be
gfown at little expense and yet bring good
profits in furnishing suitable change. Be
ginning iu the early months of the year
wflh rye, to be followed, successively, with
early cats, early peas, the gleaning from
grain fields, later peas, sweet potatoes and
ground peas, large numbers of hogs can be
grown and the exponse, as compared to the
income, scarcely appreciable. To raise
hogs successfully, and at a profit, we have
only to get ready for it.
The main reason, I imagine, why farm
ers do not give more attention to raising
hogs, is the destruction caused by contagi
ous diseases. This objection cannot obtain
in any with us than at the west.
Nebraska recently suffered a loss of $2,000,-
000 from swine plague, and lowa nearly as
much. I know of no section any more ex
empt from the ravages of disease than the
states at the south. No advantage, there
fore, can be claimed over us in this particu
lar. The meat we buy has been grown un
der the same chances for loss as that wo
raise. After getting pastures and crops
ready we must use the best means known to
prevent losses from disease. Iu this con
nection it may not be amiss to say that I
have never lost my hogs from disease, when
I gave them turpentine regularly—one tea
spoonful to each hog onco a week. I snail
not undertake to give the reason for the
remedy. I state only the result.
Possibly the best argument for raising our
own supplies is found in the fact that those
farmers who live at home invariably have
money, while those who buy what they oat
are always financially pressed.
I cannot believe it pays to delay time and
waste food on inferior stock. We do not
want hogs 3 years old before they are ready
to be slaughtered. Get the best breeds, such
as develop rapidly, push them early, give
them good care and constant attention,
slaughter at 13 to 14 months, weighing 300
to 300 pounds, and you will not r*gret the
trouble of raising your own meat on the
farm.
Bee-keeping in Florida.
The North American Bee-keepers’ Society
held its nipeteeuth convention iu Columbus
0., on Oct. 8 and 4. The reports of the
proceedings in the American Bee Journal
show J. Y. Detwilor rohearaed the
trouble that had befallen the Florida bee
keepers. Tho frost of 188(1 had injured the
mangrove. It had recovered in a measure
and was beginning to yield. This year ho
had 1,906 pounds from forty colonies.
Large black ants give much trouble. They
work at night and sometimes destroy full
colonies. Mr. Detwtlcr preferred to keep
bees in the north, even *ith the risks of
wintering, to keeping them in Florida;
but ho liked the climate of Florida; his
home is there and he should stay.
Prof. G. VV. Webster of Florida read an
essay about b e keepiug in his state, giving
much information concerning the trees and
plants that yield honey plentifully, and
something about the discouragements that
had to be faced. Hero are a few extracts
from his paper: Our own apiaries of about
forty colonics are located on high pine laud.
Our iirst surplus honey is from the spruce
pine in Jauuary and February. In Feb
ruary or March comes the orange and iu
April theandrornoda. Two or throe weeks
later, iu the month of May, comes our best
yield from gall berry and palmetto, which
closes the season as far as surplus is con
cerned. During April and May the green
dragonfly is very destructive to bees; some
times hundreds of them may be seen around
the apiary, darting in every direction,
seizing the bees as they return heavily laden,
and devouring them at their lefeuro as they
fly about; and no doubt they get many
youug queens during their muting flight.
There is about as much trouble iu wintering
bees here as there is in northern states,
owing, I think, io the many mild days dur
ing the winter, which tempt bees abroad
wheu there is nothing for them to get. The
bees become chilled or worn out and fail to
return. Our experience hero has been a
yield from 40 to 50 pounds of extracted
hooey per colony, the seasons varying as
they are cold or warm, wet or dry.
Evil* of Close Planting.
A promising orchard of 80U trees, the
property of a neighbor of mi tie, just begin
ning to bear, and on which the owner real
ized S9OO last season, was sacrificed to the
close planting policy, says a writer in th©
American Agriculturist. The trees,
which one year ago showed evidence ot
1 calth and vigor, have assumed a sickly
appearance. Cutting out every alternate
tree, with a liberal dressing of fertilizers,
will save the orchard if the owner has the
intelligence and nerve t>doit at once. But
what a loss to the soil, this p oductiou of
150 trees which can only be “cut down and
c ist into the fire.” And “the survival of tho
fittest” will be set back two years, at least,
by this plan of planting and then thinning
au orchard. *
The apple tree demands a rich, moist soil.
If these conditions are furnished, it as
sumes large proportions and gives ißnnens©
yields. Why, then, dwarf, starve and
mutilate? Is it not better to have five
thrifty trees, producing 50 bushels of
healthy, fine fruit than 50 trees with 50 of
wormy, knotty, gnarly specimens, fit only
for pigs and thieving vagrants/ In tho lat
ter instance the soil is taxed to produce the
wood of 50 trees instead of five. The cost
of purchasing, planting, etc., all contributes
toward the swelling contrast in the amount
paid out. Iu the first instance you will be
rewarded with satisfactory results; in the
latter there will bo disappointment, loss of
time and money, and a failure to realize
when your orchard comes iu bearing. The
same results, comparatively, though not so
rapidly, manifest themselves with regard to
the vine. Too close planting will sco. ec or
later result disastrously. The proper dis
tance for setting apple trees is from 30 to 40
feet; forth© grape, not less than 14 or 18 feet
for vigorous growing vines. Of course,
varieties, methods of training, root prun
ing, top dressing, etc., will modify these
figures with regard to the grape vine; but
better have them too far apart than too
closely crowded.
Da.rying in the South.
T. W. Mosley of Clinton, la., writes a
long but interesting letter to Hood's Dairy
man on “Facts About Dairying in the
South.”
He says there was a time when but little
interest was taken in dairying iu the south
ern states. There was also a time when we
at the north believed butter could be made
only within a certain belt, and iu our mindt
that belt did not exteud farther south than
to include Pennsylvania. Of course, be
fore the war, and for some years after it,
northern people did not have tho knowledg*
of the Scuth and southern people, and the
intercourse with the latter that is now af
forded them. Railroads are great equali
zers, papers ot ali kinds, if good ones, an
great educators, and this is especially tru<
of agricultural papers in the matter of edu
eating farmers to better methods. The*
papers are not only educators, but they are
the avenues through which many pleasan;
and profitable acquaintances are formed.
Our correspondence extends into every
state and territory in the Union, and I an,
happy to say that in forty-one of them we
have customers.
There was a time when but little interest
was taken in dairy matters in the state o>
Georgia. But it would be a dull person who
could read Mrs. B. \V. Hunt’s letter in the
Dairyman and could not readily under
stand that a state could not be void of in
terest in dairy matters within whose bord
ers reside eo brilliant a writer on dairy
subject*. The local or comparatively local
interest in any particular branch of agri
culture can usually be traced to the efforts
of someone person residing in that locality.
The results of such efforts may not be seen
for some time, but in the end they will be
noticeable. I have iu my miud now a per
son in Georgia, L. O. Jackson, Bainbridge,
Decatur county, whose efforts in his own
dairy will doubtless create an interest in the
locality where he is living.
Persimmon Beer.
Prof. Stelle, agricultural editor of the
Mobile Register, has lately been giving in
foresting facts about the southern persira
mon. Here are instructions about makin:
persimmon beer, that beats saloon beer: •
Ur. Porcher, in his work entitled “Re
sources of Southern Fields and Forests,’’
gives several recipes for making peisim
mon beer. One of them directs to gather
the persimmons perfectly ripe and free from
roughness. Work them into large loavoe
with wheat bran, enough of the latter ti
convert the ma-s into a stiff dough. Bake
thoroughly in an oven until dry atid brown,
but not burned. These loaves will keep
throughout the winter, and are ready for
use at any time. They may be kept wel.
through the next summer by rebaking oc
casionally to dry out any moisture they
may have accumulated.
In making the beer you pulverize the
loaves, ray one bushel. Pour upon the mea.
five gallons of cold water and let stand tw<
days, at the end of which time press om
the water, or squeeze it out through a sack
Bring to a boil, add a little hop yeast whei
cool, and then let stand to ferment. Thi
makes a very strong beer. W. Gilmore
Sims, the author, wrote that persimmon
boor made after this formula and bottled
when fermentation is over, equals in quality
the best sparkling “Jersey champagne.”
An old copy of the Southern Cultivator
gives a formula for making persimmon
beer which is vouched for as first-class.
Bather a bushel of good ripe persimmons,
mash and mix with one peck of wheat
bran. Make into loaves and bake. Break
loaves into suitable vessel and add six gal
lons of water and one or two ounces of
hops. Keep in a warm room to ferment
When fermentation has subsided, strain off
the beer and put it into strong bottles—cork
well. Put away in a cool place, and the
beer will keep perfectly good for twelve
months.
To Make a Cow Mother Two Calves.
First put a blanket (an old gunny sock
will do), on her own calf for a couple of
days; then take her calf away at night out
of her hearing if convenient and keep it
away until next morning; then take the
blanket off the oalf, and while warm put it
on the strange calf and give the strange
blanketed calf to the cow; after a night of
bellowing she will own It as soon as she sees
ibe blanket and gets one smell; she is satis
fied that she hae lound her own. After the
cow bos had her new calf a few hours trot
out her own calf with no blanket on, and it
is spprt to see her smell first one calf, then
the other. The old cow has no w marched off
proudly with her “twins,” taking both with
out a iv regard to age, size color or previ
ous condition.
Cows should alwavs be in thrifty condi
tion, t’ give the bighe t profit in tho dairy.
After the frosts have taken the goodness
from tlie pastures cows should have hay and
grain, and should not b* alto ed to enter
the pasture; for, although they will rat h '
fn at-bitten grass, it not only does them no
go si, drying them up, but It la a positive .

Farm and Stock Notes.
Never feed animals or poultry for thirty
six hours brfore killing, nor give water for
twelve hours. Bv so doing it will be easier
to dress them, aud a saving of food will be
the result if a large herd or flock is to be
slaughtered.
The digestive powers of animals differ.
To allow a certain quantity of food to each
cow, treating every cow in the herd alike,
may result iu au insufficient quantity for
some and too much food for others. The
individual characteristics are to be consid
ered, and each animal fed according to her
requirements and the product expected.
Me i talk about skilled labor. A good
farmer 19 a specimen of skill in labor. Every
good farmer has served a large app entice
shin at his trade, and no man who did not
6o serve over was a good farmer. It requires
about three years to learn the “art and
mystery” of a mechanical trade, but no man
ever equipped himself in three years for
successful farming.
Corn meal in small quantities, linseed
meal in small quantities, and a liberal quan
tity of good bran meal with the rough ess,
will make au admirable winter feed for
milch cows, aud if giveu liberally, with good
shelter, it is possible to secure a good flow
of milk during the winter; provided, of
co rse, that you have a good breed of cows,
that t is feed can be given to during the
winter.
There has been a great deal written about
hog chol- ra, says an exchange, but the hogs
keep dying. Tnerehas been more or less
inv -stigation, but the hogs die; and they
will keep on dying unless we quit stuffing
our s \ ine with corn. It does not make any
difference what th* real character of hog
cholera is. The important fact to know
is that hogs that are strongly developed in
bone ana muscle are able toward off dis
ease. 4
The finer the condition of the manure
and the more evenly it is spread over the
surface the sooner it will be converted into
plant food and the better it will nourish the
p ants. As the fall is an excellent time to
haul and spread the manure a little care
given the matter of spreading it now will
be amply repaid iu the spring.
Insecticides have been given careful trials
on experiment farms and by fruit-growers

completely cleared of worms, leaving the
other half attacked.

As about fur times as many bus els of
sweet potatoes can be raised ou au acre as
corn, their great value as a pork producer is
obvious. Both the vines and tubers are
greatly relished by hogs and cattle, and for
tao latter few things are better for the iu
crease of rich milk and butter. Horses,
too, are very fond of sweet potatoes, and
when fed in moderate quantities (aftor

WHAT A NORTHER IS LIKE.
Mariners Who Sail In the Gulf of Mex
ico Know All About Them.
From the Sew York Tribune.
“From th© reports received about th©
“northers” al ng the gulf coast of Mexico,
from Nov. 20 to 26, it appears that that
quarter of th© globe has to answer in part
for the storm which so alarmed business
ine i living out of town three weeks ago.
Capt. John Deaken, who saw service
as au officer in th© navy during
the civil war, and now commands
the steamship City of Alexandria of the
Ward line, and icon© of The oldest of the
6mall number of American steatnsnip cap
tains, had an interesting et|>erieuce of six
of “northers” in the harbor of Vera
Cruz between the above dab*.
Capt. Deaken is a modest man when
speaking of his own experience at tea, but
ho has seen some of the worst storms that
ever visitod the neijrhborhtKvl of Cape
Hatteras, the Bermudas, or along the At
lantic or Gulf coast. His long experience in
th© trade with the Gulf of Mexico makes
him competent to describe a norther in nil
its details. Asked to define one of lull de
velopments he -aid:
3“A norther in the Gulf of Mexico is the
nearly expended deviltry of one of those
blizzards which ripen somewhere in tt.e
storm center of Jay Cooke's original iso
therm up there in Dakota or Manitoba. It
is one of those tempests wuieh sweep down
like an Id adventurer to make the ama
teur sailors wish they were dead. Those I
exi>erienced ou uiy last trip were youngsters,
but ope iu its full, healthy' form would smile
at the weak pretensions of the blizzards
farther north. I have experior.ced some of
these in Ve a Cruz, when the only thiug to
do was to get out the big audio s, bow aud
stern, and then pray that they would hold.
I have seen vessels like brigs, schooners
and lighters, blown ashore in the harbor
and go to pieces, and have felt grateful
that our own ship’s cables did not part.
The yawning sea beneath us, the bow.iug
gulf outside and the shrieking winds all
about, make one gad enough to be on a
ship strong and sou and, while along the
craggy shores the great waves break m dly
ami the run of spray rises high above. And
after it is all over, and the s©a has calmed
down, and tho doors of the w arehouses are
again opened, there is a keen sense of what
a norther is capable of from the sight along
the shore, w ith the bones of the vurious
craf.s that have succumood to the ele
ments.” %
