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 . lujtu y Ur them. j THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. DECEMBER 24, 1888. 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 the past season One f armer reports that on making an experimental application of Paris green to one side of an appie tr*e, the half to whi h he applied tho solutiou was completely cleared of worms, leaving the other half attacked. Tne b st time to give a full allowance of corn meal is when the weatner is very cold Corn pomotes warmth, and a liberal feed of corn is the best protection against cold ext to shelter. During moderate w ather he supply may be diminished according to the necessity of the case. If the buttermak'r would thoroughly please his pa;rons and secu.o from them the highest prices going, his butter must not only be of good quality but uuifqrmly good. It will not do to tarnish a poor arti cle one month out of the twelve, or even one week out of the fifty-two. When but ter is so evenly superior that'eustomers en able to detect no appreciable variation in it the maker should begetting a fine price. 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 washing the dirt off, of course! they ai e highly nutritious. If fed too freely at first they are liable to produce colic. Bone dust may bo converted into an ex cellent soluble fertilizer by mixing it with unleached wood ashes. Put the mixture iu a barrel and keep it somewhat moist, occa sionally adding a small quantity of liquid manure to the mass to invite decomposition, fno result will bo the formation ot poor hate of potash, which is more valuable H”* i the commercial superphosphate gener ally used.

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.” % MEDICAL.
