Somethin* About Plowing-Fine Butter— Cotton Picking -ituiMli!* Turkey*—Game Fowl*, mid Chicken Cholera* PLOW DEEP. .hero is much truth in the statement that the soil contains a large amount of plant food locked up. How to get it, , how to make it available, is the greatest , practical problem. Draining and plow- j mg under good, vegetable matter are suggested, Very so far as they go. To soils j originally rich, but exhausted by mjudi- j emus cultivation, rest, plowing in of veg elable matter, deep and thorough plow mg will bung back much of its original i fertilization, but however very largo the original quantity of plant food, it is clear that constant removal of a part will event uallv diminish the stock. The part which ; is available, is evidently removed very soon; and the question arises, which is cheaper to restore these in some available j form, or to unlock those in the soil which I •tie unavailable. 1 he problem is not fully S lived. The probabilities are that a combination of both methods, is most economical and pays best .—Atlanta Soofhern Farm. SUPERIOR RUTTER. That as line butter can be produced in the South as anywhere else,has been dem¬ onstrated beyond a doubt. A lady friend of ours, who lived till over twenty yeai of age in the best butter country in the world, had a sample of butter, lately p resen ted to her, made on the farm of Mrs. ,1. D. Tillman, Fayetteville, Term.; and she stated that it was the finest but ter she had tasted this side of the Atlan tie ocean. That it reminded her of the beautiful Scotch butter made up without any salt in it, and known there as “fresh country,” to distinguish it from the Dan ish, Irish and American salted butters, also sold in the British markets. Mrs. Tillmun has a herd of pure Jerseys and her butter in fibre, color, aroma and other qualities is equal to any we have ever seen .—Atlanta Southern Farm.

Itaisiug Turkeys:—A successful turkey taiser gives the following most excellent plan for raising turkeys: In the first place give two grains of black pepper when first taken off the nest, then feed tbem on custard made of eggs and mijk (no sugar) until about two weeks old. After this give them egg corn bread soaked in miik, alternated with scalded clabber, pouring off the whey. Game Fowls:—Mr. Dwight, of Priva¬ teer, S. C., t-nkes great interest in chicken raising; he has been raising them is. for Uree yenrs, and his experience that game chic kens are superior to the other breeds, because they are less subject to cholera. L ist winter when this disease visited h > chickens, the game and half ante were the last to die. In the spring of the year he raises his game chickens off to t lemsclves, but keeps a game hen or tv\ > and game rooster with his coin moil breed of chickens, and in this way he has pure game and mixed game. In t he full he keeps all the chickens in the yard and sells the eggs. He plants rye for his chickens, and never feeds them on corn, except in the winter season, when the ground D hard and they arc not able to forGal.lv get anything. useand Mr. Dwight he would says that egg, breed never fur “J- lMC - v « “ d b« thinks it would be well for every one to have a f frame rooster with their chickens. Chicken ,,, . Cholera Cure:—Copperas, ~ alum, sulphur, still rosin and cayenne pepper, equal parts, pulverize tablespoonful and then mix it. For a dose, take a in a gallon of meal, three times a day, to stop it. Then feed the fowls on it once a week, to prevent it. At the same time it is a wood plan to make W .ite oak bark ea or them and put it in troughs for them to drink, except the sick ones, and you can pour it down their throats.— Southern Cultivator. Pou itry Breeding:—The climate of Tennegsee , Georgia and Alabama, in fact all of the Southern States which lie up hi , rh and ary . is everything that could be ~ ired ultrv raising, and the only (]e for po wonder is that the farmers of the Soutll have } )( ,en so long in finding this <mr But the G i d a dage which says, *. bott< . r i at e than never,” will apply in th(dr and let us, brother fanciers, to work with a vim and show the breeders that we can equal, if nQt excel them in the poultry business, vVe now have at least live, if not more, (r()od healthy poultry associations in the § outh with more in prospect.

Irish liCawiiu Proclaimed—The Govern ment Attacked—Itlot in Ireland. Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, announced in the House of Commons that the government had proclaimed the Irish National League. The Govern raent had thus taken the power conferred upon them by that statute to prohibit and suppress the League. The Pall Mall Gazette very vigorously attacks the gov eminent party for adopting In the House of Commons the Earl of Cadogan’s amendment to the Irish Land bill relat ing to town parks. The Gazette urges the Liberals to revolt against the govern merit’s Irish policy in the House of Com mens, to obstruct the passage of supplies measures, and thus force dissolution. ; Mr. Parnell, said that the action of the government in proclaiming the League ! was* r gratuitious insult to the Irish, ,^ considering the aferoly present condition lnnd .
