Baird in tbe Nrvember r K ; r „ Cultivator , is quite important, r J r wh ,-e there is none the fail wili, much *7 it,ac least, pass witaout any profitable tbor tern s performed. After the crops are t |3 by the farmer without such a system is fcjtea at a loss how to pr.ceod or take a i.ew ■'. j \ 3 . having the business well planned l-This miad, he is just as apt to take hold at |L wrong place as the right place, and with Kjc J lt) half flnished he turns to something ■“Vi an d thus the fall passes by. Iln the absence of a well-planned system, I ■mil surest first, sea that all tarm imple ments and macninery are all brought in, |r4 3 ned off, rubbed bright, oiled and care ... housed. Do not pile them in any way, Ibat place them iu reg..lar order, that each ■•mplement may be reached at all hours. It lifouite common for farmers to idle, not ■knowing what to get at, while their harrow ■km one field, iu another, plows ere left living just as they quit plowing, with here land there hoes, rakes, single-trees, clevises, ■ etc where they will without a doubt re |„sYn through the winter, or at least a good Irortiou of it, and by crop time they are ■ hardly fit for the summer’s work. | >ow that the farm tools are all put away Im dry quarters, chopping out the corn ■ would be a very important work. There is |a "wo-fold object in chopping out corn that ■ wrhaps most farmers overlook, if we judge ■bv what we have heard them say. 1 have ■ heard farmers say their corn must be ■ chopped out, that if it was not doue the ■ bushes would be in the way of plowing next ■ scruff. This is all very true, but there is I another important object for chopping out ■ corn. In August and September we Have ■ more or less dry weather; the bushes and I weeds growing in the coru field not only I draw the fertility, the plant food, from the ■ corn, but they draw also largely of the I moisture from the corn which it is so very I much in need of. The little shade cast over I the ground by the weeds and bushes will not I neurlv sutfice.for the plant food and moisture I tbt'V draw from the soil This is an iin ■ portant item, and should not be over | looked. ii >'ow the corn is all chopped out and will ■ need no more attention until or pulled, ■ as suits the fanner best, turn your at.eution ■ to tbe barns, see that they are all in good re | pair, and your stock and feed stuff are all | drr and comfortably housed. It will take | much iess feed than if exposed to a leaky | root and cold drafts of wind through cracks, ■ doors and windows. || Another important fall work for the ■ farmer is preparing his stock for winter. ■ Cut out ali the old and otherwise unprofita ■hie stock that cannot no cared for through Hib? winter and depose of them. It is much ■letter to sell part of your stock and buy ■ tel lor the other part than to keep them Had with scanty teed. To take stock Bt'.r'iigh winter profitably they snould start Hiiitu it in g .od condition. It is common for Hti:e farmer to neglect his stock untilwiu- Hter s storms compel him to care tor tnem. ■lVT.neUie pastures were rich with nourish ■.:.; mid tu-producing food thoy flourished Hind became tut, but as they fail the stuck off until many t.mes quite thin, lhe H:r-. should not suffer his stock to tall off. Hj,. to- i '.stums fail it would be much better Hu feed some, and increase as the pastures Hffu. it stock, start into winter in a poor ■c.udi:;un tbsy will come out without a ■(Ur.cs. or a superabundance of fend in the ■e:rr Condition. Many times farmers do ■ : ~ i.- uate c ose en< ugh, and if their stork ■uealive at grazing time the following Hip....’, they feel that they have made it ail Hr . But if stock have not gained in some ■v.v, th v were taken tarough the winter at Bdenil expense. H Another item of fall work which should ■ tot t,e disregarded by the farmer, is good ■ eitenticn to the poultry. Some farmers ■ iLink poultry is too small an item for them Hi. bestow any care upon. But what consti ■ tutes a good progressive farmer is dueutten- I ti .11 to t.ma.l things. But poultry, when well Hcaied for, is one of the most profitable H branches of farming, for the money in- H voiced. But hens must have attention, and ■ as egg production iu winter is one of tne ■ most important factors in poultry business, H tue boa should have every facility given her I for egg production. See that your fowls I havegoiii, dry, warm quarters, where they ■ can snooze snugly until morning without I fear of a cold draft of air or water from a ■ leaky roof. If your hen house has a dirt I floor, fill it about a foot deep in dry earth, so I that damp will not arise. Nothing wili dis || courage and stop a hen from laying quicker I tuau to roost over a damp floor or. to wade I through water going out of the hen house; ■ she wit take the bankrupt law or sue for I souie such one; she will not lay eggs under ■ such condition. | j By the time this is all done, corn gathered ■ and wood prepared for winter, it will be ■ upon you. And if the wood is put under II shelter it would take less wood and be better ■ to handle. I In the meantime do not forget house con ■ vemeaces, bee that there are good walk ■ ways tothe well and meat house, that the I r 'k is good and the house other wise warm ■ aui comfortable. Cottonseed for Butter Cows, Hf.nry Morse of Delaware county. New iOik, who has been a butter dairyman all *3 life, says: In regard to cottonseed meal, I am the man who introduced aud first used it as a dairy feed ration in this section of country; have fed it eight years, the first our it> connection with other grain feeds, us last four years we have used nothing tut purs, sweet cottonsod meal, except that w hiie the cows are dry and on coarse fodder We give them sucn grain as we produce and "teat bran, the latter to build up and Bt. cogthea the osseous and muscular systems prevent abortion.

Tbe oi- Da iced value of the manure uearlv pays tbe cost ot th 6 c tton e-1. The foregoing eann it 1 e otto-wise than important to evo.y better dairvman it the country, says Dr. via en Wilson iu thoTVib une. It will incite to thought, and o ex perimenting in the same line. If the meth ods of Mr. Mrrse shall be found worthy of g“neral adoption, tbe cost of the pr. diction of butter will t materially lessened. If som i should still fear to tru-t to raw cotton seed to produce first-cass butter, the Tennessee farmer is authority for saving that tue whole seed can be cooked without other beat than tha* which it will generate itself. Add to the seed one-fifth of its bulk of wheat bran, wet with ooid wa’er, and mix thoroughly; place in a tight box. and in twenty-four hours the seeds will be so well cooked that they will mash easily be tween thumb and finger. But I presume Mr. Morse would not favor the admixture of bran. Important Tests in Churning The scarcity of ice the past summer necessitated the employment of methods for s.ttiug milk that were before but seldom used, says the Philadelphia Record , and im portant experiments were elso made at sev eral experiment stations, Cornell University giving particular attention to the testing of the efficiency of creaming by diluting the milk with water in various quantities and at different temperatures. The milk used was from grade Hoisteins and Jerseys, one third of the cow s being fresh and the oth-rs being in milk from five to eight months. A large number of trials were made in which portions of milk, diluted with an equal weight of cold water, were compared w ith portions from the same milkings set in ice water in a creamer. Trials were also made in which a smaller amount of both warm and cold w ater was added to the milk, and a few trials were also made with deep set ting in the open air without the addition of water, of setting in shallow pans, and in water running over the pans at u tempera ture of about 60*. The result showed that a larger propor tion of fat was left in the skim milk when the wholo milk was diluted with warm water than when undiluted and set In ice water, tbe proportions being, after eleven trials, .23 per cent, and 1.28 per cent. Thusit rrfay be seen that when the milk was diluted with water there was contained in the skimmed milk nearly six times as much fat as when the milk was set in the creamer with ice water, or, in other words, while over 95 per cent, of tbe fat in the whole milk was re covered in tbe cream under the cold deep s tting process, but little over 60 per cent, was recovered by tne diluted process. With warm water tentrialsgavesl.il percent, of fat in the skimmed milk, or but little less than the cold water, iu the skimmed, while the milk shove 1 also a tendency to sour. The temperature in these trials was from 59’ to 72°.. , Five churn tests were made, two of cream from milk set in a creamer, in ice water; two of cream from milk to which an equal weight of cold water had been added, and set til air, and one from milk set in shallow pans. The two first were churned at a temperature of 65°, the second two at a temperature of 66°. The result was that from 114 pounds of milk set iu ica water 5.35 pounds of butter were obtained, or a pound of butter from 21.31 pounds of milk; from 100.3 pounds of diluted milk only 2.75 pound* of butter were obtained, or a pound from 36.54 pounds of milk—showing a loss of butter by the diluted process of 1.94 pounds per 100 pounds of milk, as com pared with deep setting in ice water. The average per cent, of fat left in she skimmed milk under the various processes varied greaily. Tha experiments demonstrate that ice or very cold water is an important factor in regulating the percentage of fat ob tained. . How to Manage Colored Farm Labor. It looks as if Col. Albert 11. Cox, the At lanta lawyer, who farms in Morgan county, had pretty w ell solved the difficult problem of successfully managing colored farm labor, says J. V. Avery in the Southern Cultivator. His plan is original, and has panned out well for himself. He handles his plantation as well as he speaks, and that is saying a good deal. He took a large farm as a debt that he could not save otherwise. It was i athor ruu down, atid a season or two under the old system left him in a bad fix. His trouble was unreliable labor. He could not sell or abandon. He must devise a way to use the coloi od help profitably. And he did. He solved the problem. He made good crops. He brought up his land. He did so well, he bought more land. He has 2,000 broad acres now, that blossom in crops. The clarion talker has become a practical farmer, and a growing stock raiser. Here is his plan. Simple and solid it is, and one wonders some sharp fellow did not hit on it before. He contracts for good monthly wages, SB, $lO and sl2 per month and feed. He only pays hilt in cash, reserving the other half until the end of the year. The $8 hand, for instance, gets $1 a month down, and waits until the year is up for the other $4. The $4 and his feed run him. The debt of the master to him grows $4 monthly, and at six months is $24, getting bigger, and holding him faster < very month. When harvest comos, and the risky time is at hand to lose him, from the offer of larger temporary wages, he is tied fast, because if be leaves, be, under the contract, forfeits his accu mulated and growing half of his earnedund earnable wages. He does not leave. His interest in things is a tremendous stimulus and clamp. That ?48 as the oud holds him like a vice. It makes the hand steady, in dustrious, reliable, immovably clutched. It giV63 the farmer a worker lie cau depend on. and that improves. This plan is good sense itself, square busi ness, and has worked like a charm. There are some other things about Cox’s farming that will do to tell, but tbey will have to wait until next time. Changing Breeding Stock. It is not hard to make mistakes, says the Southern Cultivator, but often n hard mat ter to correct them. Starting in the wrong direction in horse breeding is probably one of the mistakes which is hardest to over come of any. for a farmer who does not make a specialty of breeding. With a few inares of ordinary quality, and but few of the requisites of good mares, it will take more time and trouble to ebaugo to the proper kind of brood mares than most tarmers care to devote to such a matter. The great number of scrub horses raised each year is attributed to this fact more than to any other. Thousands of farmers all over the country are raising horses every year which tbey know will not sell for enough to pay for the feed tbey consume before they arrive at serviceable age. These same farmers realize also that they could for the same trouble and about the sameex pense raise horses which would be worth two or three times as much as the horses which they now produce. Nearly every farmer who raises horses is cognizant of these facts. The trouble is in making the change from the one to the other. A little expense stands in the way of many when contemplating such a change. Others take too little interest in it to go to any trouble to make a start in the right direction. Whatever the excess may be, it is certain that breeding inferior horses is keeping many farmers throughout the country poor, and overstocking the markets with a class of animals which bring but little money into the neighborhoods in which they are raised. It is hard to advise in re gard to switching off from one kind of breed to another. It is useless to argue the matter with those are alive to their own business interests. Raising good horses pays so much better than raising poor ones that it is useless to spend time reiorring to the matter. THE MORI* iNS NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 189n. The Largest Marx s Ga-d in. In Rhode Island, says the Xiw E iglcini Farmer, tbero is a farm of 610 acres run as a morke; garde iby Mr. Budlong, au ac count of whos, crip, an i mituois may n>t b mistateresflag. Mr. Budtoug employ* regularly 170 men ail the time. Daring csr tain seisons of the year he has 200 and over extra bands employed as pickers, gitbering green com, cucambe -s, peas, tomatoes and other products. He has seventy-two horses and six yoke of oxen. He has hi* own carpenter, carriage builder, painter and blacksmith, and all his wagons are built by him on tbe premises. Bast winter he sold $39,000 worth of lefuce to one New York dealer, in addition to all his sales to other New Y’orkers and the Boston and Providence markets. He has now 150 acres in cucumbers in different lots, and it was a very picturesque scene to notice three gangs of pickers, from forty to fifty men, women and children m a gang, galUenug the crop. The white shirts aud . lue overalls of tne men, and the gayer colors of the women's attire, dotted among the cucumber vines, presented a picture rarely witnessed in New England, and suggested a south ra plant** tion scene. The pickers are paid five i.afi six cents a half bushel, and some pick as many as twe ty-eight baskets iu a day. Although Mr. Bud long raises many white spine cucumbers for market, the bulk ot his business is in smaller ones for pickli ;g, which is done on his own premises. The cucumhers when pickled are placed iu large tanks, bolding I,OOJ busheK Iu one room aloue we saw twenty-two of these tanks. He has other tanks in other rooms, and is building anew house which will eou tai i twelve more. The cucumbers are car ried from the field to the factory by large four-horse teams, a wagon-load driving up every few minutes. In addition to this crop, Mr. Budlong has this season forty-five nc;es in green peas, all of which has been gathered and the land is now needed to turnips. Sixteen acres are in tomatoes. He has fifty acres in green corn; oue day this season ho shipped to market 300 barrels, containing eighteen to twenty dozen ears in a barrel, at 25 cents per and ,zon. It was a noticeable thing that the gree : corn season is about over witu him juat as the average run of farmeisate beginning to get theirs into market. IVe drove through large fields of many acres in extent of onions, peppers and other crops, to say nothing of the extensive gieen houses and hotbeds. One noticeable thing about the place was a stack of pea vines which had been saved for fodder, much of the coarse stuff about the place being saved for feeding. To raise suen immense crops requires a fabulous amount of manure, wnich is brought, from Boston and Provide. ee by train, Mr. Budlong having special side tracks to his grounds from the railroads. He brings manure as far as from Bos or), contracting there for the supply from 2,200 horses. This business has developed from a small beginning, the profift as fast as made hav ing been put into the business instead of in vested elsewhere. Mr. Budlong is buying land all the time. Too Large Orchards. Many of the largest orchards the present season produce absolutely nothing, says an exchange. It is becoming plain to even the most enthusiastic fruit growers that this is a business that requires more close attention than any other branch of farming, and un less well cared for the results aredisappoiut 'ing. Orchards should never be more than one acre in ten ou a farm, else tbey will be likely to suffer from lack of manure when thy reach the bearing age. Young trees often grow well without fertil izing, but tue materials for fruit cannot bo produced from air and unfertilized soil for many years in succession. The protection of fruit from insects and from blight also demands close attention, or all other labor cariug for and cultivating the orchard may be lost. Farm Notes. The only good that can possibly result from the prart ce of stripping is tue cneck it forms upon the carelessness of milkers, where u number are e nployed, and there are those of them that are inclined to slight their work. If you have a variety of feed for your cows, don’t feed all of one kind this month, another in December and another in Feb ruary. Mix them—except feed the pump kins before they freeze —and save some of the best bay until spring. It seems to me, says Gov. Hoard, that as the cow is a mother she ought to be handled with a constant regard for r.er comfort, and that a rigid stanchion is tho most comforta ble thing in the world for the man that owns the cows but not for the cow her self. Unaerated milk, says F. D. Curtis, is the mother of most floating curds aud cheese spoiled in this way. In shut up cans it is worse. It is tho potent father ot tyrotoxicon poison. It is the great enemy of infants, and the direct cause of a great deal of cholera infantum, waich sweeps away so many helpless children. If you fail to make dairying pay and your neighbor manages to make a little money out of it see if he does not own bet ter cows than you do; see if he has notsome secret about feeding which you have not "caugbton to,”and see if there is nocsime tbing in his management tnat you might make profitable bj' udoptiug. Poultry need sunshine at certain times. A glass window shaped like a hot bed covering a portion of a run makes a slieiter both for old and young chicks, aud when the beat becomes too great they will of their own accord retire to the shade of the inside of the coop. Too much sun is worse than too little; it also tends to make them lazy and sleepy. Galls on the necks and hocks of horses, or other similar abrasions, should be washed with castile soap and tepid, soft water, and afterward with suited cold water. It will toughen tbe skiu. Any indolent soi es should be kept clean with the soap and water. If galls do not respond to this treatment ap ply tannin, whien may be had at any drug store. There are some advantages in training curran t bushes to a single stem at the gixund. They' are more easily cultivated aud kept clean, and they hove a neater appearance. Such bushes are easily raised by rubbing off all the buds from the lower part of the cutting when it is planted, all of whien will be below the surface of the earth. But a* good crops of >V fruit may bo had from bushes which have several stems, providod they are pruned, kept sufficiently clear of old wood, and ars well manured and culti vated and kept clean. Household. Spun Egos. —Beat three or four eggs, season them, and run through a colander into clear b iling consomme, where they will form vermicelli-like pieces. Chestnut Paste. —Beat the yelks of three eggs together, add to them three table blespooutuis of wtite stock through which a chestnut, boiled soft and pounded to a paste, has been mixed. Use a large French chestnut. Mix the eges and ohestnut puree together and cook like a royal paste, in molds. Royal, Paste.— Break into a bowl four egg yelks and one white; add a scant half saltspoonfut of cayenne, a scant half tea spoonful of salt and a little nutmeg. Beat the egg and seasoning well together: add a gill of cream, or the same quautitv of milk, and strain the whole through a fine gravy strainer into little buttered timbale molds— tiny tin cups that cost about 10 cent. each. These molds should be set in a saucepan of boiling water, and tbe saucepan set in the oven until the paste is firm in the center. When cool cut the paste in slices, or in fancy shapes, stars, etc., with a fancy cutter, and add to a quart of clear eoup. Van llouten’s Cocoa— “ Once tried, always used."— Adv. FEABUXB. <^tf' ’ N \^N Four women, all told The first told how much easier it. was to wash with Pearline. She saved half her labor, and the \vork was better done. The second told how much longer the clothes lasted, since she’d used Pearline. The rubbing that wore them out wasn’t necessary. The next told how many things she d ; d with it ; she washed the kitchen floor, or the finest china —the most delicate lace, or the. coarsest fabric. Whatever she did with it, she saved money by it. Thefourth told of the harmlessness of Pearline. She had used it for ten years, and she knew nothing that was washable could be hurt by it. These are only four out of millions who use Pearline, but the others say the same things and more. Try it yourself ; then you can tell about it. Peddlers and some unscrupulous grocers will tell yon “this is as good as" or "the same as Pearline.’ JOk/ V V_ - IT'S FALSE—Pearline is never peddled, and if youi grocer sends you something in place of Pearlipc, do the honest thing —send it bath. ,Bi JAMKS PYLE, New York. t LOTHIStV THE WEATHER Has bsen against us, but our bones tell us that the COAL DEALER will usurp the ICEMAN'S Snap yet.
