Farming With Brains.
A. F. Colwell In American Agriculturist.
Not « any years since it was a fashion,
all too common, to sneer at the so-called
•scientific" or “fancy farming." The
idea of paring anything like tho tamo
amount of attention to its details re
quired hy almost every other branch of
bisinesa. was regarded as unworthy of
a >v fanner of steady hahitsYmd good
m lis *. Artificial fertilizers received a
si'.%‘ial amount of sneering and ridicule.
Rir.tvard manure—and that, too, after it
l l; „| 'been exposed uncovered to the
storms, to thedrainageof n sloping barn
yard and to evaporation—was thought
to be good enough for every pui pose, and
was applied indiscriminately, no matter
what tlie crop to be raised. All this is
rapidly changing. The sensible farmer
now takes as good care of his manure ns
he does of the stock that made it. Ho
buys commercial fertilizers adapted to
his crop, and leaves no stone unturmsd—
and few in his lots to bo turned—in re-
gard to thoroughly pulverizing tho soil,
drainage and thorough cultivation. In
deed. he pays as much attention to every
de'A : l as the Cottou or woolen manufac
turer, and in no other way can ho ex
pect remunerative results.
Jn no department of enterprise are
bruins more needed than in suectsdul
farming. By this is meant, not the mi ro
possession of menial equipment, but a
brain trained by experience, conversant
with what is being done, and wise
enough to see what method is 1 e it suited
to tho farm and stock. The 1'arinor is
sometimes ono not devoid of ordinary
sense or moral attributes, but who, shut
in by his own small domain, is behind iu
tho great advances the world is ma ting.
That this is true is a pity, but it need
not be. In no department have greater
advani o * been made, hot h in resources
and methods, and the ilawn of bright
dav is already apparent.
The Grange is ono lover which is to
more the turn a upward and onward.
Lo.ir.g it- lirdistinctive purpose, it
hefthv. ;*:.e jo vised of a much inoro
vital and tnergiziug one, tho diffusion of
intriligvir.e and the cultivation of social
instinct. Everybody knows more than
rafoody, and concerted action cannot
fail to bring about good results. The
New England Granges have a courso of
study which the subordinate lodges nro
perusing with both pleasure and protit.
The farmer’s horizon bus been too lim
it "d. Ho lina uea nnd known only
about his own few acres ami those of
liis immediate neighbor** A dweller on
the banks of tho Thames or Hchledt secs
only a sluggish, muddy river: take him
to the summit of Mont Llano nnd a
lit cad hi.'uitcajKj lies at his feet. It i
this clevatton. this broadening of vi
•ion, that the agriculturists of tills
nnd every country need, and it will come.
The competition awakened by tho prizes
offered by tho American Agriculturist,
ami tho rapid falling into lino bv inamt-
fucturursof fertilizers nnd agricultural
implements, and br seedsmen, shows
what leaven is working in tho mass. To
everyone who makes an honest effort
there will toe a fully adequate return,
even though cnly a few can obtain tho
prizes. Then tho results, set forth ns

Iroin tin Mcjnii jjoBiuir.
Farmers who are not already burning
lights in their cotton Helds should read
very carefully wlmt this issuo of tho
Monitor contains on tho subject. There
tccma little ruoui for doubt that it will
save tho crops. Tho Hies have mail*
their appearance in tlio Holds nlready,
ami tho. o using tho lumps report that
they are catching them Ire the thou

fact that thetc dc|iOf>it tho eggs that
batch the worms, it is now high time
for your lumns to bo burning. Some
have Iwen ui.’iug tho lamps for several
woaks, but through tho months of July
and August is no doubt tho time
when tho most good can 1m done. In
this i .ue of the Monitor will t» found
undeniable evidence of tho efficiency of
the iarr.p ns a preventative ngain>t the
ra rug a of the cotton worm, Tho theory
of tho lamp ;a* on effective preventive
•gainst tho cotton worm is simply thus:
It seems to be a w ell e^talknlied fact,
’disputed by none, that tho nttla fly or
miller, so numerous in our cotton field*
during the summer, dc|MMits tho egg
from which tho worm is hatched. If this
be true, and the fly can bo destroyed lie-
fore doing its work, then there will lie
no worm. Tliat these flics can lx*caught
by hundreds and thousands many farm
ers who have tried it stand ready to u«-
tify. What more is there in’it? Tho
facts are simple uml plain. Tho time box

Apple* 1Aery 1'ear,
From ttoe Indiana Farmer.
In order to induce an apple tree to hear
ever/ season, climb into the top, or go
up ladders, lust as one does when pluck
ing ripe fruit, and with a pair of sharp
•hears clip off all the young fruit from
about half of the tree. Then fruit Unix
will form next vear on tliat side of the
tree from which the young apples were
cut off. One-half the top then will U*ar
.yield fruit next season.—Fanners' Maga-

Wo oliserve that the dairymen of Scot

American butter is displacing their own
in the market and their farmers clubs
are discussing methods of improving
thfir dairy products to as to successfully
compete.
What tho colt roouir. s is plenty of ex-
ercitx*, a clean place to sleep, shelter
from bitter storm*, plenty of good grave
of different varieties, good, clean hay
without dust, and good, found exits.
Colts raised in this way will not look so
well, nor win as many premiums, nor
sell for as much money, but they will
hint.
Prof. Arnold pays be found through
careful ex|x»riment, that it took five
pounds of meal per day added to late cut
liny to make thesatnouumber of pounds,
equal to the samo kind of hay cut early,

two different jieruxls. Hero is a “pointer”

money in having it consumed.
1 o not overstock your pastures of cul*
rivaled grosses. Not only will tho stock
suffer, but, w hat is more serious, tho
grosses theirs dvrs will either Iki de
stroyed or seriously injured. Cultivated
grasses should never lx* eaten off close to
the ground, unleM they are well estal>-
lished, and foim a thick, matted sod,
when close grazing will not hurt them.
Klue-graxs, orchard-grass, herds-grass,
meadow-fescue and meadow-fox tail will
bear close grazing better than the other
cultivated grasses. Timothy is very
otiickly destroyeil by overgrazing.—

J. liaugh & Hon of Farmers’ Institute,
TirP*vanoo county, Indiana, have a
Short horn cow, seven years old, that has
produced seven calves and is safe in
calf again. Two of the calves wore
bulls, ono sold at weaning time for $150;
the other was kept for use in the herd
midis valued at $.'00. Tho heiferearn
louowhat better than the bulla and
could have been told at F-’00, but they
preferred to keep them for breeders.
This would make the produce ofthi.-f
cow for seven years worth $!,it50. This
certainly is a very good u-cord, and it
shows that it ]mvs to breed good Short
horns.—Indiana Farmer.

WIills Farmer* In ibelautfi*
From the New Orleans Time*-Democrat.
With £(K>,ObO or more whites already
living in the country parfeues of lower
Louisiana and the larger part of these
engaged winter ami summer In cultivat
ing and harvesting its crops of cane, rice, (
corn and c -tton, in rearing its herds or
cattle, in (’effing its forests and working
its saw mill.-, nee mills, sugar houses and
retineries, it is a rather btartliiig pro|>o-
sition to announce that white lalxir can
not etond tho summer climate of Louisi
ana a id tlie other gulf states. Wi:h {
several thousand Northern settlers living
in fine he.dth and great activity in the
very southern most parishes of this state,
cultivating their lands under the summer
sun, and harvesting their hay crops and
their rice crops in Augti: t and Septem
ber, tho folly of the preposition is brill
further established. With the fact
known that the xugar, cotton, corn, rice
nnd cattle of South Ixiuisiana are largely
tho product o' white labor, tho utter
falsity of the old and worn statement as
to Louisiana being a bad place for wliito
men to undertake field work is fully

Household Science.
From the Indiana Farmer.
A new and iinjx.na'it organization has
been made at Lafayette. Indiana, grow
ing out of the spleadid work being done
in Purdue University by Mrs. Ewing in
tho field of household science. We have
tho following re|xirt of tho new organi
zation:
The Association for tho Advancement
of Household Science is un organization
of housekeepers and other*—men as well
s women- who are interested in ad-
nticed methtxlx of housekeeping and tho
general improvement of tl.o homo.
Tlie objects of the association are:
1. To collect und disseminate informa
tion in regard to the mobt approved
plans of building comfortable, conven
ient, well ventilated houses, and the
easiest and best method* of doing all
kinds of housework.
2. To systematize these plans nnd
methods and put them into practical
of oration.
51. To study tho principles of nutrition
and the chemistry of fixxls, and to apply
tho knowltug * obt.aiicl by mucIi study
to improving the character of cur na
tional cookery.
4. To make it a distinction nnd an
honor among women to lo g« o l cooks
a id housekeepers, ami to make domestic
employments of equal repute with teach
ing, office work or any occupation by
which a woman earns iiioney.
5. To promote in all l oisiulo ways the
establishment of hcIhhus for tho Hp:*ci.al
education of housekcejierx, matnn ,
stewards, caterers, cooks, and those hav

Mix Arter and her better half, nil of
which s tne, were seated, she on a Turk
ish Ottoman ( and I on a Porsian rug,
quietly discussing domestic economy and
making kiss Iiets on Gullivan and Kil-
rain, with occasional allusions to tho best
cockroach poison.
“By the way, inv dear, the sidewalk
must ha paved by tho 1st.”
“Who said so?” sho interrogated with
such force that the smoke following tho
explosion curled spirally upward and
firmed a mammoth question mark.
'•That’s tho law, aud you know Pm a
law-abiding citizen.”
Well, a v or no raw, if they want
this sidewalk paved they’ll have to pave
it themselves. Where’s tho money com
ing from? Didn’t you promise me"a new
summer dress, and ain't the children got
to havo clothes? Do you suppo6o I’m
going to let these children wear their
last summer ra ;s just because tlio city
council says so ? Not ono bit of it. The
city council is always doing something
smart. Every time I pick u|V the paper
I see some new law for us jioor people.
They made us pay tax on tlie dogs, and
that was a burning shame. Now they
want us to do without decent clothts.
and put down brick sidewalks. That
sidewalk out there is good enough for
anybody to walk on, much hs* tho city
couucil. ThcrTs no uso taking up for
Mr. Artcr; if thoy want tho side-
wall: paved, they’ll have to pave it.” .
Hut, my sweet avenging archangel,
wo have to do is to buy the brick and
I can lay it myself. All there is to do is
to put tho. bricks down straight and
throw a little sand on them. It won't
cost much.”
This had a mollifying effect on Mri.
Alter. She saw by inv arrangement that
tho excuse would not bo heavy, and
there was a chance of seeing me at hartt
work. Upon my incorrupted toul, I
rily believe that she enjoys weing the
eat of honest toil oozing fre:n my
Websterian brow lletter than anything
iso, unless it's a funeral. That woman
doesn't wear a bustle that loves to go to
a funeral better than Mrs. Artcr. bite's
rank when it comes to funeral 9 . I’ve
•x»n umlertaki r * try to choke her off by
hustling tho otlur iieonlo into tho car
riages so that she would l>c shut out; but
she always manages to slip or* nnd and
get into tho cairiogo with the b *reave<l
family, if there's no other chance.
There's something about a funeral that
pleases her, but whether it's tho free ride,
• what. I don't know.
And when she found that tho exponso
of lay.n ; down tho sidewalk would not
interfere with her summer arrangements,
aud that she would havo tho pleasure of
seeing mo^at work, slto consented, and
We figured on tho number of bricks it
would require and came to tho conclu
sion that as tho walk was six foct wide
and soventv-flvo feet long, wo would
need just 9,082 bricks. Now, how we
figured it tluit way you mustn't ask mo,
Ucauso I don’t know. We ordered tho
brick nnd live loads of sand at $1 a load,
nmkimr n total rrat of about 9fin,
Monday morning, bright and early,
long before tlio (low on tho gross was
dry, I was at w*ork. The sidowalk was
scraped off. and Loforc I got down to tlie
uciuui work ot laying the brick my
knees began to get weak from stooping
down so much. ■ Then tho laying com
menced. I made a fine start and Mrs.
Artcr, who came out every ten minutes
to see that I didn’t loaf. s-*emcd pleased
with the job. When night came one-half
of tho wtlk was laid, nnd I was too tired
and my kuecs were so sore that I couldn't
eat supper.
The next morning my knees were so
sore and iny legs so stilf that I couldn’t
bond them. Mrs. Arter said something
about some ptxiple being too lazy to live,
but I minded her not. I know it was
cruel in her to say so, but you will never
find mo slandering my wife. I married
her with my eyes wido open, and its no
body's fault but mine. She finally rubbed
me down with salt and vinegar, ond
even went so fru* as to sit by my bedside
and see that there were no (lies on me..
All that day I suffered. All that day I*
wished that there never was such n :
tiling as a brick sidewalk, and
my wife wished there was no tu'h
thing ns a city council. And when (
it was discovered as a fact tliat
I was really laid up for a week, we de
cided that we should not have the iu-
complct *d sidewalk out there. Already
there were threats of law suits for dam
ages by i»eople who couldn't see their
hands "before them and had stumbled
over the piles of wind. It was, therefore,
found necessary to hire a regular brick
layer. We hired one. He c surged us
$10 fo • tho job, and no amount of tier
s' insion or abuse on tho part of Mrs.
Arter could change him. It had to he
done, and he finished tho job in two
days. By that time J wax well enough
to figure sotno more on the laying of tlie
walk, and made tho terrible discoveiy
that wo had bought just $41.50 wortu
more brick than was necessary. We
could have gone to work and hired a reg
ular man, like sensible people, and saved
not only that much money, but two
weeks of my time, worth at least $50,
and a pair of kncei that I am sntisfiod
will never bo fit even to pray on. Tho
next time wo talk nnd figure on domes
tic economy we will hire n m m to do the
figuring, it is too well known in my
family that wo can't do it with any sat
isfaction as to actual rcsuBs.
