JERSEY COW AS A CHEESE MAKER. he Jersey is considered pre-emi lly as a butter cow, with her most lt [stable use in that direction, on ac of the large proportion of cream lamed in her milk.

Some of the best breed ers in Kentucky mix pulverized copper as in the salt which is constantly kepi within reach of their animals. It has a better effect, however, to mix it with gentian. One of the simplest and most effective remedies for worms is super carbonate of soda given in milk and molasscss, after preparing the animal with bran mashes. Feed sparingly on hay and give a liberal bran mash at night. Repeat this the following morn ing and also the next night, Beforc feeding or watering the next morning mix a tablespoonful of super-carbonate of soda with a pint of milk, and add a half-pint of good molasses made from cane syrup. Be sure that it is not glu cose, large quantities of which Ae palmed off for molasses. Pourthi3 down the animal’s throat from a horn o/ rub ber bottle if one can be obtained. A glass bottle will answer, but as there is always more or less danger of serious injury to the patient from the breaking of the latter, it will be much safer to go a long distance to secure either of the others. The dose prescribed is for a full-grown animal. The dose for a yearling should be only about one-third, and that of a two-year-old one-half, the quantity given to a full-grown animal. A six-months-old foal will require only about half that of the yearling. The directions if followed will produce a smart operation of the bowels, which will bring away most of the worms. After this has been accomplished give the copperas ana gentian every night for one week, and there will be but little to fear from worms for some time to come. —American Cut ivator. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Slow and careless drivers make lazy horses. Profit in cow's is impossible without ample feeding in any and every season of year. One worthless cur on a farm is a nui sance, two an abomination, three or more, a calamity to the entire neighbor hood. Keep the seed corn in a dry, well ventilated place and keep it and all other seed where mice and rats canno get. It will be better to have a nice lot of fodder near the barn when the first snow comes than to have it buried out in the field. The man who ran in debt during the early spring and summer is now endeav oring to run out again; but the chances are against him. The old idea that young cattle and colts must winter at straw stacks in open fields, to make them tough, hap pily has gone, much to the comfort ol the young animals. The whip as an emblem of authority in the relations between driver and horse is by no means objectionable, but when it becomes an authority itself the driver is inferior to the whip. Man is by nature sympathetic and hence does not, cannot live for himsell alone. Is your life helpful or hurtful to those with whom you sympathize? The winter covering of strawberry plantations may be safely delayed until the ground has frozen hard, when a wagon can bo driven over the beds and the covering material more easily dis tributed than if put on earlier. To keep nuts in good condition store in a dry, cool place. Chestnuts require more care to keep them fresh and plump. Mix the nuts with fresh sand and pack in boxes, which may be placed in some cool location or buried in the soil out of doors. Money is not lost that is spent in beautifying a home. Every tree planted out, is a monument to the glory of him who planted it; and every flower is a wreath for its grower, and every happy home is a perennial source of pride and satisfaction to its possessor and founder. There is r.o profit in rearing or keep ing cattle, except through good feeding in all seasons of tho year. No argu ment is required to prove the truth of this assertion, for even slightest reflec tion show’s that profit comes clearly only through utilization of food beyond tho necessity for maintenance. When you kill a fowl hold its legs aud the long feathers of its wings in your left hand, and use tho hatchet with tho right. When the head is off, hold firm the chicken until it has be come stiff. Don’t throw it down and let it kick itself to death tsCHXBY COUNTY. Schley County is composed of lerUory cut from Smntef, Marlon and Maiom counties. It was organised in 18C6, and naun dt r one of the old Colonial Gove, nors of G. 3>rg i; Gov ernor Schley. Its location is Southwest-Central. Area 180 square miles. General features, hilly, inter spersed with level plateax. The soil is very fertile all over the county, but varies in color, some places being red clay, some dark brown, very sticky in wet weather, some pebbly and some sandy, under-laid with clay subsoil. Cotton, corn, sugar-cane, oats, peas, pota toes, pumgins, melons, rice, wheat, rye, bar ly, peanuts and chufas; peaches, pears,prunes, pomegranates, plums, apples, apricots, quin ces, cherries, grapes, mulberries, strawberries, raspberries, goose berries, beets, cabbage, cu cumbers, squashes, tomatoes, turnips and oth er field, orchard and garden products, grow here to perfection. The fence corners, waste places in old field and forest, abound in all kinds of wild fruit, such as blackberries, blueberries, gooseberries whortleberries. May haws, black haws, plums, cherries, crab apples,persimmons, fox grapes, Winter grapes, muscadines, chinquepins, hickory nuts and chestnuts. Besides the native crab, crowfoot and other grasses, many of the best varieties of import ed grasses do well here, especially Barmuda, herds, b!> and orchard grass. The no fence law prevails in the county, yet stock raising is rapidly becoming one of the leadiug industries of the county some of the finest horses In the South are raised here, and the rich golden butter and sweet country hams that are daily brought to market by the far mers of Schley, could not be beaten anywhere. Cotton is the money crop of the county, but happily the day has past and forevevr gone when the people of Schley depended on other sections for their meat and bread. Nearly ev ery farmer in the county makes plenty of corn and bacon for home consumptions and many of them make a surplus to sell. No particular attention is given to poultry raising, yet the people have all they want for home use and one man with a horse and wagon keeps busy the year round hauling chickens and eggs from Schley county to Amerlcus. The health of the county is excellent, the av erage elevation being near two thousand feet above sea level and drainage is generally good an epidemic of any diseases, was never known here. The farminsr people of Schley are inteligent cultivated and refined as any agricultural peo ple In the world. The county is dotted with school houses and churches, and a half grown person who cannot read and write is seldom, if ever met with, and of the negro race most of them since freedom can read and write.
