TWO PARTINGS. “Give me a kiss, that going home My footsteps fall on air; Give me the red-tipped mountain-rose That nestles in your hair.’’ Her cheek upturned took the flower’s hue At the touch of her lover’s lips ; The rose unbound, as it wept her face, Caught the blush on the petals’tips “Give me a kiss, I am going home ; The links in my life’s chain break. A kiss and a flower, my love from you Will the pain from my parting take Her lover'bent low, as an angel light Came into her closing eyes. A kiss—the rose at her cheek he placed, But its petals, alas, were white. Farming Facts—Boiled Down. The Rural New Yorker offered a prize of $50 for the best column of pithy sentences. ’ Here it is: Keep a dairy. Have a home. Keep accounts. Firm the seed-bed. Weeds are robbers. Stick to your business. Give stock salt regularly. Rotate a variety of crops. Keep dry underfoot. Plant a few trees each year. No man can farm by proxy. Keep everything in its place. Keep manure near the surface. Don’t sign a paper for a stranger. Quality is as important as quanti ty. Feed the soil with the food it needs. Read agricultural books and pa¬ pers. Consult expel ienced, successful farmers. Neither a chronic lefider nor a bor¬ rower be. Use pure seed carefully selected, in season. Never buy land till you are sure of the title. Insure your property in some good company. Se 1 when your produce is ready for market. Paint will cost less than new boards and beams. Swine plague is not “at home’ in the clover field. Do all work at the very earliest seasonable moment. Have well and woodshed near the kitchen door. Have the least possible fencing, but always substantial. The doctor will ride on if he sees you have a good garden. The most profitable acres are the deepest not the broadest. Nature declares that to breed im¬ mature animals is poor policy. Judiciously concentrate ail efforts, economizing materials and stock. Shelter farm implements. Rust and rot eat faster than wear and tear. I have never heard a man complain that he had tilled his land too well. Better go to the lumber yard and the crib than to the “cattle doctor.” Money spent to make the home and farm attractive bears good interest. Plan work ahead. Bright brains and brown hands make the farm pay. Keep out of debt. When the farm is once mortgaged it is already half lost. Some farming is lika a sieve—only little leaks, but the profits all run h rough. The older and larger an animal grows the more food it takes to make a pound of gain. Ventilate stock shelters by open¬ ings under the eaves. Light them by glass windows. Color the butter before it comes from the cow with clover (green or dry) and corn meal. Rain and wind will not charge any thing for hauling the manure ; but they are dear hands. Select crops with reference to the size and soil of your larm, the climate and the markets. Farmers should seek not only to increase tbeir productions, but to save and market them better. Save the Utiae and keep the beasts CONYERS, ROCKDALE CO., GA., AUGUST 22, 1884. clean by using sawdust or straw lib¬ erally for bedding. Pulverize the ground, for fining aids solution and plant food must he souluble to be available. Never plant an orchard on undrain¬ ed land, or make a pasture of it. It must be fed and tended. A little ready cash will not wait long for profitable use. Better baye money in your pocket than land un¬ paid for. A pound of flesh lost to the brute is twice lost to the owner, for the waste of the body must be repaired while it is replaced. Pumpkins, squashes, turnips beets, etc., do not take up much room while growing, but make a big item in the feed and health of the farm stock. Ventilate, light, and make warm poultry houses, and don’t feed hens all corn if you want them to lay. Put sulpher in the dust bath. Provide lime. The general condition of success¬ ful stock-raising are good animals regularly supplied with a reasonable allowance of wholesale food and drink, properly sheltered and treated. An early spring pig kept growing and fattening on pasture (mostly red clover) during the summei and early fall, and then rapidly fattened on grain for two months, is the most profitable hog. Lastly, cleanliness is godliness on the farm. Clean implements, clean harness, clean animals, clean fence corners, clean fields, clean garden, clean orchard, clean seeds, clean pas¬ ture, clean yards, clean stables, clean shelters, clean troughs, clean food, clean water, clean litter, clean sleep¬ ing-quarters, clean granaries, and a clean conscience. Don’t Do It. The following, from Trott’s Health Monthly, deserves to be conspicu¬ ously posted in every dwelling in the land. Don’t sleep in a draught. Don’t go 10 bed with cold feet. Don’t stand over hot air registers. Don’t eat what you do not need just to save it. Don’t try to get cool too quickly after exercising. Don’t sleep with insecure false teeth in your mouth. Don’t start the day’s work with¬ out a good breakfast. Don’t sleep in a room without ven¬ tilation of some kind. Don’t stuff a cold lest you be next obliged to starve a fever. Don’t try to get along without flannel underclothing in winter. Don’t use your voice for loud speaking or singing when hoarse. Don’t try to get along with less than eight or nine hours’ sleep. Don’t sleep in the same undergar¬ ment you wear in the day. Don’t toast your feet by the fire, but try sunlight friction instead. Don’t neglect to have at least one movement of the bowels each day. Don’t try to keep up on coffee and alcohol when you ought to be in bed. Don’t drink ice water by the glass; take it in sips a swallow at a time. Don’t eat snow to quench thirst; it brings on inflamation of the throat Don’t strain your eyes by reading or working with insufficient or flick¬ ering light. Don’t use the eye for reading or fine work in the twilight of evening or early morn. Don’t try to lengthen your days by cutting short your night’s rest ; it is poor economy. Don’t wear close, heavy fur or rubber caps or hats if your hair is thin or falls out easily. Don’t eat anything between meals excepting fruits or a glas3 of hot milk if you feel faint. Don’t take some other person’s medicine because you are troubled somewhat as they were. Preparation for Winter Wheat. Joseph Hanis says in the Ameri¬ can Agriculturist for August: If wiuter wheat is to be sown after early oats, peas, beans, early pota¬ toes or corn fodder, the moment the crop is off the ground, stick in the plow, or gang, or cultivator. Do not wait for rain. The weeds and stubble will pump up more water than any ordinary rainfall at this season will be likely to furnish. If you plow, nr in anywise work the land, it, will not only destroy the weeds and check the rapkl evapora¬ tion of water, but should we have a shower, the lain will penetrate deeper into the worked soil, and render it soft and mellow. We have every¬ thing to gain and nothing to lose by promptness in plowing immediately after the previous crop has been har¬ vested. In four years out of five, the prin¬ cipal difficulty in sowing winter wheat in proper season is to get the soil moist enough to cause the wheat to germinate vigorously ami evenly. We must recollect that the soil, even during a severe drouth, contains in the first two or three feet a great many thousand gallons of water per acre, still more at greater depth. This aud water is constantly rising towards the surface. Any growing plant pumps it up out of the soil, and evaporates it into the atmos¬ phere. The amount of water thus evaporated is enormous. The bare soil evaporatps water from the sur¬ face as long as there is any to evap¬ orate, but the loss of water from a bare soil is nothing in comparison with the I 068 on land where plants are growing. In the winter wheat section of Western New York we sow our wheat from the first to the twentieth of September. It is ready to cut from the first week in July to the first of August, varying greatly in this respect according.to the season. As we go South, wheat is sown later in the autumn and is ready to har¬ vest earlier in the summer. Where the Hessian fly is trouble¬ some, we have to avoid early sowing in the autumn. The fly lays its eggs in the young wheat plants in the au¬ tumn, and late sowing is one of the remedies. On the other hand when wheat is liable to injury from the Midge, we have to avoid late sow¬ ing. The Midge flies lay their eggs in the ears of wheat when it is in blossom, and an early crop of wheat is far less liable to injury than a late crop. Fortunately, neither the Hessian fly nor the Midge has done much damage of late years, and the ten¬ dency among our best wheat grow¬ ers is towards earlier sowing. After the first of September it is thought desirable to sow as soon as the soil can be got sufficiently moist and mellow. It is just here where promptness, good judgment and science are all requisite. Rain will help us, but it will help us still more if we go to work M though no rain was expected. As we said before, there is water enough in the soil, but it is not near enough the surface to cause the seed to germinate. What we have to do is to bury all the weeds, stubble and growing plants, and keep the surface soil fine by the frequent use of the cultivator, harrow and roller. We know this is easier said than done—but on our strong wheat land ft is the general experience that much of our success will de¬ pend on our ability to get the wheat well started in the early au¬ tumn. Small Pork. Says the Breeder’s Gazette : One ol the most delicious articles in the meat line is fresh pork from youug pigs, weighing lrom 80 to 125 lbs. There is said to be a growing de¬ mand in the large cities for sm^H pork of this weight, and the people are beginning to find out that they are good to eat. They certainly do not want runts of pigs that have the desired weight, looking as old as a man ot sixty. . To be desirable they must be kept fat and growing from the moment they are dropped until they reach the required size, when they are very tender and Very nice eating and command an advanced price over anything in the market. NUMBER 24. The Berksliire8 make the most de¬ sirable pig for this class of pork. They are compact and round, easy keepers an ! early mnturers. The city house keeperu, when they have once found bow delicious this arti¬ cle is, will cry for move. This class of pigs cannot be raised without plenty of milk, t ut where butter is mnde'skim milk can generally be had in abundance. The Berkshires are noted for having an abundance of lean meat, but at the same time they interlay it with juicy fat. The Berkshires are also desirahlo on ac¬ count of their being free from skin diseases, athicli are very objectiona¬ ble in pigs to be used for that pur¬ pose, and although the hair of Berk¬ shires is black, when ihey are nicely cleaned and the hair taken off they are as white as any. Care of the Horse. The following is from a prize arti¬ cle which appeared in the American Agriculturist: It is very important that the drink¬ ing water should be pure. The well should not be in the barn-yard, or it is sure to become polluted. Good cistern water is best, if it can be ob¬ tained. Water before meals. If the horse is very hot, give half a pailful ; feed uncut hay and rub down. Wheu somewhat cooled and dry, give all it wants, then feed the grain. In summer, pump a large trough full an hour before the horses come from the field; let them drink about three gallons each, then wait a moment, and afterwards permit them to take all they want. Salt once a week is often enough on dry feed. When in pasture, it should be placed where the horses can obtain it as desired. Provide plenty of bedding, and see that it is dry. Shake it up the last thing at night, and remove all that is wet or soiled. Straw, forest leaves, saw¬ dust, or any material that is dry and absorbent is good. Use the curry^ comb and brush, whether the animal is dirty or not. Go over the animal from head to foot, once a day at least. Be very careful not to scratch or hurt in the least. Good horses are often made vicious by rough currying. If it is thin haired aud tender, use a stiff bristle or wire brush instead of a currycomb. Wash off the dirt that is difficult to remove, then rnb dry with a cloth and brush. Comb out the mane aud tail, and keep them smooth. There- i is much pride in a horse, and it j should be promoted rather t hat restrained. Harness a horse gently; keep the collar clean and have it fit. Adjust the harness so that no part hangs loose, or chafes. Do not check tight, or use blinders. Fly-nets for horses are invaluable in 8y time. A horse will always do its utmost wil¬ lingly for a kind master. Do not worry the life of a fast, high-spirited horse by working it with a slow one. After a day’s work in summer, turn it into a yard to roll and straighten the limbs. Never let a horse stand out of doors unblanketed after dri ving in cold weather. Do not worry a horse when driving by continually clucking or talking to him. Teach the animal to start and stop by voice and obey a light movement of the reins. A horse may be taught » great deal by an intelligent driver, but the words of command should he few and distinctly pronounced. This and That. Tbe coming era—chol-era.
