The fact stands. We know of prosperous dairy j farms in and near Atlanta, Ga., Aug.iite, Ga , Columbus, Ga., Greenville, S. C., Nashville, J Trnr... and other points. I Outside of the fact, however, there aremanv 1 hysical icasons why the south bai tho ad- vantage aS'6 dairy region. ?????? FipS. tho winters are shorter and the ex- ?? - .. X) ur iug the long cold th, when stock mast costly accumulation* milder climate of . of doors most of the thaicaudto live upon green forage that grows during the whole season. Second. In the south there is a larger va riety < f forage and a longer season for its growl}:. There are sectious in the south where the c w can graze out doors all the year r< rnd. There is no section in the south hardly v here the farmer cannot have bis green rye pastiii e the entire winter, which ho cm gru??o in div weather, or cau cut throe or four fcitmi. The vetch grows in winter oq tfte coni of Bouth Carolina, on tho Bermuda sod, and tU ??? ??? alternates, furnishing a winter forage on tl. same ground that has supplied a summer hay or grazing crop. Every species of grass grows in the south, ft! d enormous crops are hjr/csted. No ir O.il- htun, Gordon county, Georgia, is a dairy and Mock farm of forty years standing, started and iun by Colonel Richard Peters, of Atlanta, Giorgio, known over this wh do union as ono of ibe most enterprising dairymen in thj cointry. He has tested overy ??p:cioa of Cit- t],???Devons, Ayrshire, Brahmin ! , Duhim??, 'Jfrtitf* aud Guernseys. He has so.ne twenty a res ??? f lucerne clover, which ho cut* four t mes a year, getting from on j to two ton t > its ending. Ho has thoroughly tested t!u jojsib lity of successful dairy farming south. Near Atlanta are a half dozen of the best ???brsey dairy farms in Ihouniou. Mr. J. Wade, .iiygtJ. L. llopkins, Mr. P. Calhoun and ??? tin r* have them. The most extensive dairy lumcr near Atlanta is a Mr. T. L. Johnson, who it ilks 113 cows and is constantly onlarg* i-sr hi- herd. He sells all Mtc milk and but e he can spare, and finds his h uflues* profitable. Jersey butter brings 60 cent* a pound. Milk readily scllssfbr 40 cents a gallon. * Ainu the root crops that can bo used t > ft d milk cows grow cosily and luxuriantly iu tuc couth, and have longer seasons than a tbe north, The census of 1880 showed tin folio would they be partieuinry desirable for the mams who have an idea that eggs is tho ob ject of keeping hens? I would iiko to pee tho judge who is expert enough to deeuh which hen as a class is sure to produce the most aud largest eggs, and let that quality have ???aura* weight when ho renders a decision. It is all very well, and commendable, to cultivate tr tnstc for the beautiful. We all admire a haud- sr-me yard of fowls, but do not'Ictus lose sight of the (act that thousands of people wish to keep fowls for their profit in meat and eggs., Another point. We all know that a load of poultry, nicely dressed, with yellow skin and legs, always brings the highest price. Can any one tell why this fancy for yellow? Sun flowers were the fancy a short time since, but they were never so fragrant as tho vlblet. No one will pretend that any yellow logged fowl is superior, on the table, to a willow legged gome, white dorkilig, or dusky logged part ridge or quail. One thing the majority make no mistake, about, viz.: in selecting - eggs. Nearly every one prefers eggs with dark colored shells. There is ns much difference in eggs from dif ferent varieties of fowls as there is iu their n.cot for the table. As a rule dark colored eggs arc more valuable for cooking than white ones, yet come fowls that lay white eggs are better for the table than some others that lay dar k colored eggs. It seems strange, but iu all fowls I ever sold, or letters Mmve received, I never was asked the question whether a hen had ever laid an egg in her life, when speci mens have been wanted for exhibition. Final ly let us continue to breed for tho fancy points, but at the seme time pay more attention to tho practical. Let us be sure we have a fine pic ture instead of a cheap chroma in an elegant frame. <Vrv statistics for the south, which I fad the truth: Milk * Milk, Kill*. a);,.537 cows.

Those who kt*??p only the ???fondly cow," or at most two or three cows, find the flow of milk to decrease, and ofteu without any green crop provided for keeping it up. The territory of those who keep but a single cow is often restricted to a small pasture and a vegetable garden. Tho garden should be made to supplement the pasture, and this may be done to some extent by securing for the cow much from tho garden that usually goes to waste. Everyone who has a girden tiics to hove an abundance of green peas. After the vines have yielded their last profita ble picking, instead of allowing them to re main upon the ground until that is wanted for another cron, feed Hie vines to tho cow whilo they ore still green and succulent. So with sweet corn. When the last oar is pi naked frem a stalk or a hill, do uot wait until tha whole patch or row can bo cleared, but pull up (be etnJks that have been deprived of ears, a few at a time, and feed them whilo in their bestyondition. The outer leaves of early cab bages, and tho leaves of beets, carrot3 and turnips, carefully saved, will mako an impor tant item in tbo succulent food for tho cow. If there is a space iu tho garden, from which au earlv crop has been removed, and it is uot needed for a Into garden crop, it should bj growing something for the cow. Sweet corn may be sewn thickly in rows for ???fodder corn,??? and afford welcome feed. It is well to have an abundance of cnbbage plants of a largo late variety, and set them out wherever t???laro is room, ar.d far beyond tho needs of the family. An occational cabbage next winter will be a treat to tho cow.

'Scientific Pio Funding.???Dig feeding ox- priwciils of more than usual value are being at<le by Professor J. W. Sanborn, of tho Mis- rjuri agricultural college. Those described in a rc pert issued under date of July 1st are of fatcrcat, siuco they show plainly that spring jagr, marketed in tho autumn or the early part of the winter next following tliolr birth, sre much more profitable than are Unso, kept thiough tbo winter. In tbo courso of these ex* nei intents it was found that two pounds of 'wod per day per cental of lire pigs was to* ???failed to keep up tho weight of tho animal, tad tliatulout two pounds moro wore usad for tftch pound of growth. Tho average weight of tho pigs fed on corn meal in this experiment Was 112 pounds each for tho period of, ll'J days. As thoy require 1 221 tbs. per day for maintenance ration without growth, then 1,03.) pounds were used in 110 days, merely to sup port four pigs, leaving for growtti only 671 found* out of a total of 1,012 pounds of corn incal fed. Tho pigs actually gifaod 25 J pound*, showing that tho food was well util ized. "When whole corn wa3 fed the gain in weight was much less than when meal was used; yet '6areful review of tho figures resulting only 1.1 pound?, saved by grinding to evory 0,8 po ind* fed'. As millers charge one-cignth toll, this gives 176 pounds to every H poundi Aiavod, or 44 pounds per ton to pay for carrying to mill. The conclusion from this is that this high toll is nl out equivalent to a prohibition of the u*a of muil for feeding pigs in the west. The nu tritive edicts of wnole corn were app.iro.illy ii< ntiht, although, from the little eaten, soam- icyly practically valueless.* When wh do orn ??????*<?? torn meal are eaten in similar amount* the hi al is more effective than the whole corn.

The above is recalled bv a correspondent of the Maine Live Block 'Monthly m t ~ ??? ??????'oar takes to task the common mct'ud fowls at exhibitions by the siz.* and ance rather than by hooking after indiv* lu i! merit as egg and lie??h producers: Wo nvver hear.anything about the value of a epscimm (u compared with others iu the ram - ch i) lor poultiy or egg*, being considered by n juege in deciding on their merits at exhibi tions; it is simply size, shape and e ,lor. Their value for meat and eggs is of great imp >rtane j to a large majority of th<who raise fowls, und should not be lost sight of when we at- temj t to improve a variety. In judging n cow we hear much about the ???escutcheon???'as indicating her valuv i ??r milk, the size, shape and texture of u tl r, cl *. Who ever saw a judge hunt for a hen???s escutcheon, or try to p*??*t himself concerning her ovary; or who ever heard a judge ask, or caw him appear to care whether a hen had ever laid an egg at all? It is a common re mark for breeders to make that they ???want to keep their pallets from laying, if they are to h: t b< xu, as they show better.??? If some one ??~>uld raise a strain that would never lay, eon- qii-r.tlv would always b?? exhibition birds, herbage upon a small area. This pea is high ly valued for animals at the south, both fresh and ns hay, and seems to bo worth trying in northern localities as a soiling plant. Where there is room, even n few square yards, it may bo well to sow cither Hungarian grass or ono of the plants called millet for into summor feed for the cow. If tbo soil is rich an abund ant crop may ho cut. Besides summer food in the garden, if there is room there or elsewhere, it is well to think of Jerusalem artichokes as n winter treat. It is late now for a large crop, but with tho tops, which aro highly relished, the tubers being crisp, succulent aud highly nutritious, will bo most acceptable as an addi tion to dry*fodder. When one once fairly un dertakes ???to produeo tho greatest possible amount of cow food from a small area of land be will bo surprised at tho results that ho ob tains, especially those Been in the pail.???'3cR cntific American. * . . * CoiiromioJi op Manure.??????

When ho left tho Congo country ho was tull* ring badly from bronchitis, but wa^nurh benefited by the sea voyage. lie eunited tho treding prospects of the country In the vi- cfpfty of the Congo river. Mr. Stanley con sider* d that General Gordon commands per fectly practicable route* ofeseapo from Khar toum, whether by way of Zanzibar on the eas???w or down tho Congo t> tTo west coast if the Nile is blocks. Mr, Stanley considers that General Gorlo-i c*n during tho present season ns^ond the Kilo iu eUamers from Khartoum to Ooodokoro, a distance cf 600 miles in eight day*; thenca proceed to Bohsr and Elgahazal and join Lap- ten Boy, who comriian(i* 40>i troops, having in their; os??esaicn L40,000 worth ofivory, Q >r;!on could then proceed with ,Ufa addition ti his force to Zanzibar, Should the sddiers refills totnko this journey,or ahold somo other cjurso prevent the plan,Gordon could crosi to Uganda, reach the Stanley stations and prbco.d down tfic Congo. Mr. Stanley considers that r>Utc* ti avtracd by llcrr Bchweinfurtb, Sir Samuel and Lady Baker, and Italian and Aua'rian infap'onories cannot bo insurmountable to tlio soldier, traveller and cxploror. Sh *uM tho garrisons at intermediate port* along iha Nile bo cndimgered Gordon could take them along with him.
