It is lamentable to see bow little knowledge of animal pathology and common sense south cm bjeedere exercise in taking cattle from the north into their country. Ohe breeder has re cently lost sixteen -out of thirty-one head there; and this is only a sample of losses; r mailer or greater, constantly taking place at ???lie south. I have been writing in the agri- cuhural pnpers for forty years or more past, on this subject, warning breeders not to take any sort of cattle that, are over six to nino months old, from a northern to a southern ro ll ion, and to make this change in the months of November, Dcoember and January onlv. When they have arrived at their new loca- lion, they onght to be fed os much as possiblo as they were st the place from whence they raroe, also be kept in darkened stables during hot days, so as not to hayo a scorching sun beat down ???upon them, or be tormented by stinging and biting insects. They ought, also, to be ???tabled at night anti thus kept out of the dew, as this is almost as pernicious, falling upon them, as the torrid sun during tho day. Let the cattle have & little run, for exercise, from an hour before snnrise to an hour after, and again an hour oY so before sundown to half an hour after. It is dangerous turning northern cattle wild southern pastures at any season of the ???ear, even in winter, for they are liable to browse on poisonous plants or shrubbery grow ing there, of the nature of which thoy know nothing. Allow them to run in pastures of cultivated grasses alone, or on ryo before howl ing, or oats previous to the grain hardening, or feed dwarf aweet corn as soon as as it tas sels, taking this away from them when the corn begins to glaze. Tho water in pastures is often dangerous to drink, not anly for cattle from the north, but the natives, for it is sometimes poisonous and breeds leeches. These latter, ard occasionally sucked in by tho cattlo when drinking, and they then fasten in their vitals, causing in ternal bleeding, followed by death.???Corre spondent of National Live Stock Journal, Chicago. Autumn Planting.???Tho whole philosophy of autumn planting of fruit trees may bo sum* nu???d up in a few brief sentences* In autumn the soil is warmer than the airland hence the roots are stimulated to action while the buds are dormant. The consequence is,the roots are enabled to take hold of the soil aiid gets os- tab) ishedJbefore the swelling of the buds call for any hard'work from tho roots. In spring tho air it warmer than the soil, and honce if a tree is planted then, the buds aro stimulated in advance of the roots, and unless tho condi tions aro very favorable to root growth, os tho dryer weather of summer comes on tpo top of the tree calls for moisture faster then tho roots can supply it, soon shows signs of failing, aud without extra care, dies, very few autmnu planted trees fail on this account. Fruit trees, then, ought to bo planted at early in the fall as may be convenient, after the leaves are all fallen from the plant, and the buds are inactive. Tne buds should not be.stimulated, and'will not be if freely exposod to the cold autumn air. But the roots, enjoy ing a temperature several degrees warmer,and not subject to sudden changes, will grow all tbo winter through. Of course, if the trees are planted in a bare soil, with nothing to prevent the freezing of the ground hard over the roots, eomo coarso litter or manure, or chip dirt should be spread around the treo to prevent freezing. But care must bo taken not to make a harbor for the mice, which might gnaw tho bark and ruin the trees. Plant trees and all wooded plants in au tumn. Anytime in winter is bettor than spring planting in this latitude.???Index-Ap peal. - ? t\*. i Fowls for the Table.???For first-class tablo fowls tho qualifications are plumpness of hrenst, fineness of quality and whiteness of akin and fat.smallnoss of bono, absence of use less parts which may be regarded as offal To obtain plumpness of breast we must havo fowls that can fly; tho wings * are moved by thd breast muscles, and in the breeds that do not fly they become lossened in bulk, henco it is impossible to obtain a plump-breasted Cochin or Brahmd.

How to Manage Cuttings.???In selecting a cutting a great deal depends upon a judicious choice: if the slip is too young and full of fresh tap, it will fade away from top much erf jura tion j if It is too old???hard and woody???it will take a great while to strike root. You must take a cutting that is perfectly ripened and is from a vigorous shoot, yet a lit tle hardened at the base. It is also essential to have a bud or joint at or near the end of the cutting; as all roots strike from it, and the nearer it is to tho base ' tho greater your chance of success. Plant your cuttings in common red pots fill ed half lull of rich loam and two inches of Band on top (scouring sand will do, but not sea sand); wet this thoroughly and put the cut tings close around the edge of tbo pot, for if the bud or joint cornea in contact with the surface of the pot, it seems to strike root more quick- It.

Farm Notes. After the age of nine months agood hog may be made to weigh as many pounds as he is deys old. He should be farrowed early in the spring, and slaughtered before January. It is a wed known fact that ail animals grow better and take on fat faster in worm weather than in cold, and it is well to take advantage of this fact iu preparing tho surplus stock tor sale.

To prevent foul brood in bees Mr. J. II. Hicks, of Maryland, sets out a dish containing a solution of rock salt and water near his hives for the bees l.?? drink, end finds that it kqeps his apiaries free from tho disease. Mr. Wilson, the great grape grower of the northwest, planted, a year ago last spring, 400,000 cuttings and grew 80 per cent. lie was to graft thia year from 20,000 to 25,000. The cuttings, he says, should be one-half inch from the bud. Frdder that is properly saved, and fed in combination with clover hay aud grain, is of equal valuo with timothy bay by weight, says Professor Sonborn; but such fodder is very dif ferent iron that which is exposed to frost ani bleaching rains, The rapid growth and dense shndo which buckwheat makes gives it great value as a weed destroyer. Even thistles can bo kept down by it if tho land is sown as soon after plowing os possible, and tho first thistles that appear aro pulled or cut with a hoo. Saxony wool has a fine short staplo: the Australian wool is longer but also fine. Combing wool, such os that from tho Lincolns, Cot&woldsaml Leicesters, is usually about nino inches in length. The finest of all wool is that from the families of Merinos. Ono pint of oats, with a like mcasuro of bran, is a day???s ration in two foods for a breeding ewe. A week oflor lambing tho rotion should bo increased by adding one- fourth of a pound of oil meal. She should al so reccivo as much cut hay and straw as she could eat. The valuo of an ordinary ton of manure is estimated at 300 pounds solid, worth $1.40: 800 pounds of straw and litter, worth $1, and 000 pounds of water and useless matter; tho value of the entire 2,000 pounds being $2.40. Manures, however, vary in composition, and tho figures are not reliable. Tomato plants ought to bo grown in rows and protected by i>olcs or slats laid on forks or R iece of lumber driven in tbo ground. The amework ought to bo two or threo feet high, and the plants trained up to lie on tho top. This keeps the fruit clean, and also greatly in creases tne yield. In considering tho right depth to ran the plow all the circumstances must be consider ed. It will not do to turn up tbo much of tho cold subsoil at onco. Tho plowing should bo gradually deeper every year, In ordor to allow of Sufficient ttme fbr tho upturned 4 soil to be reduced to a proper condition for plant food. ' If ono wishes to improve a certain flower, fruit or Vegetable he must first dccido what kind of o product ho wishes to produce. He must have his ideal always in his mind. Ho must then select seeds from those specimens which come nearest to his ideal. Of the off spring ho must select in tho same way, and so continue until perfection is attained. Tho whole operation of butter-making, from tho taking of tlio milk to tho delivery of the butter to tho consumer, is entirely mechan ical; but it is a branch of mechanics that toler ates no mistakes, for the least failure to per form the proper operations at the proper time results in an inferior article, and perfect but ter only commands the highest price. Mulching with straw, ordinary hay or salt boy is good for almost every garden crop. It retains moisture in tho soil and helps to sup press the weeds. It is especially useful in tuo strawberry beds, keening the ripening berrios out of the dirt os well as preserving a grateful dampness about the roots. But all kinds of small fruits are tho belter for mulching. In agriculture the plauts perform tho part of the miner in separating tho valuable ma terial from the mass of tuo soil, which ma terial they afterward, by tho aid of tho sun and the atmosphere manufacture into food for roan and animals. The inhorent properties of the soil aro thus made available, and that which was before of little or no value bccomos more valuable. The time is coming when it will pay to plant varieties of corn which aro especially rich in starch for the manufacturers or in nu tritive elements for the feeders. A few skilled specialists sre st work developing varieties having marked characteristics of value. But as varieties change rapidly in different soils and climates* there is plenty of room for many workers in this direction. Even a stiff clay soil may be rendered raoro fertile by under drainage, which not only car ries off tne surplus water but allows the air to penetrate the soil. In dry weather the air carries a proportion of moisture with it, whtio tbo warmth of the sun Is absorbed mare quick ly in early spring. A thoroughly drained soil produces better crops and starts an earlier growth than one which is allowed to drain itself naturally. CRIME AND CASUALTY. AN|??MB??ZZL??R CONVICTED IN PITTS BURG.

New Yokx, October 17.???The announce ment that tho steamer, Faraday, had landed tho shore end of tho Commercial company???s cable at Coney Island yesterday, was a mis take. Last night about 8 p. m. everything was completed on tho Faroday for starting tho rafts with tho cablo to tho shore. Two miles of cable were coiled on tho rafts with thoshore end on two small boats. Tho tug started to Word's shore to wing tho boats and ralts.

Tho nights aro cool and Iho days pleasant, with refreshing breezes, but the sky is cloudless. Hopes of rain wero Indulged In at tho timo of tho equinox, for tho clouds wero heavy, and indicated rain. This phnso pasted, and tho rain seems now as far oft' as over. Much inconvenience and somo sufferings exist all over tho south. Springs, wrells and branches have completely dried un in many districts, and long arlvos to rivers have to bo mado to water cattle. Tho rivers themselvos aro getting very low, and aro gradually ronnh- iug tho point noted iu 1808, when tho Alaba ma river could bo waded. At Montgomery, tho cotton crop has been burnt out more than three weoks ago, and very llttlo top cron can bo made, and this littlo only in low lands. The turnip crop, so much roliod upon for stock feed, is a complete failuro. Meantime no seed can eomo up, although farmers nro continually resowing, in tho hopo 'that rain may come, and glvo tho plants a start. This Is particularly truo of the winter cabbngo crop, of which so much is usually expected in this immediate neighborhood. Tho dronth of this resr is harder to endure, from tho fact that it la a repetition of what happened loot yoar. Fortunately tho drouth this year b?gan two weeks later than that of Inst year, and tlio cotton had a chance to mature. On this ac count the drouth of 1884 cannot equal in de structiveness that of 1883, no matter how long it lasts.

That Is What tlio Teni|iornnco Peoplo Gall tlio St. John Tlekot In Georgia. In yesterday???s Constitution appeared a list of the electoral ticket which has boon put out in Georgia to support St. John for president. In order to oReortain how far this action is tho voice of tho tcmperanco peoplo ol Georgia n Co ski it i i ion mini cull*'.I Ml Mr. W. Whid- l??y, m crctury <??1 lh?? lo orgiu imo- riation and grand worthy associate of the grand lodgo of f-'onH of 'IVtiij.i'rmico.

Thoy aro Messrs. H. M. Sessions, J. F. Hobbs, J. A. LaFontaino, and Dr. J. O. l???crkins. The tompcranco peoplo of tbo stato bid a convention, aa you know, hero last Au gust to consider tho advisability ol nomiimtine an electoral tioket. It was decided that it would do no good, but would injure tho causo which is now advancing steadily in Gcor-* J ;ia. In that convention theso our men lavored an oloctoral tioket. But tho counsel of all tho acknowl edged temperance leaders In tho stata nnd tho sense of the convention was decidedly Against B. Mr. Sessions, in advocating an oh- toral ticket, said that It would lead to a split in tho solid south. Of course ho thinks that very desirable, as he Is a staunch republican. Mr. Hobbs said ho had votod with ono party on often ns with the other. Ia viow of tneso declarations from two of tho men who hnvo mado up this ticket I bclievo It^is a ??????Trojan horsa??? to injure tho fiemocratio party in tho stata and 07entually in tho south, or to try to get tbe balance ot power between the two great parties. You win sco that list of electors printed on fit. John tickets, oa Blkino tickets, and on Ibitler tickets. Tho sentiment of our teiiqieranco peoplo is against it, and they will not support il to any extent worth noticing. We are doing a great work in Georgia, one that ie too precious to peril by any folly or any such design ing scheme as this so-called electoral . One of the largest wholesalo whisky tin the state said to a friend of rnino the other dey, ???If your folks continue thoir work in tho industrious and judicious way they have conducted It for*five year* past, there will not bo m bar-room in Georgia fivo years from to-day.??? The men who are busy ing themselves getting oat electoral tickets aro not the men who are bringing about tbo real isation of that prophecy. Mr. J. O. Thrower said :"???Thls Is not a tem perance movement. It Is not countenanced Ly any of the temperance organizations of the State. An effort waa made in our state con vention ta get out an electoral ticket, but tho committee to whom the matter won referred reported against it by a vote of four to one. You will see that nouo of tho most prominent temperance worker* in tho stata are on that ticket. Eut there aro sev eral men on it who I believe will have thoir names taken off. The whole thing Is wrong. We don???t want to mix this great movement with politics. There is especially no reason for doing so in Georgia. A prominent repub lican approached mo some timo ago and asked mo why we didn???t tat* with bis party against tbo democrats. I said ???W# have nothing to do with polities, And betides we havo gotten everything wo could ask from tbe party in power In Georgia. They given* all tbe people are willing for us to have. We are trying to push a steady and healthy reform, and wo don???t want to lrup*do It by rash and foolish experiment!. In our convention, Mr. Sessions, ono of tho four men who put out this ticket and an avowed republican, proclaimed that his object iu advocating en electoral ticket was to dis rupt tbe solid sontb.
