12 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONS . ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4 1884 TWELVE PAGES. FARMS AND FARMERS. SHORT TALI?fe WITH FARMERS ON FARM TOPICS. Belling Farm Producta-Improve the Cuttle ???Kellnbie Varieties of Pea*??? How Care for Colt*??? Hog*??? Farm and Garden Note*. 8em.ixo Fabm Produce.???Tike two package* of almoftt any kind of farm produce, of the tamo kind and quality, and hare one put up and tErred for aale in a neat package, done up in the moat presentable condition, and the oilier put up without care in any ill-looking package, and the*nice*looking one-will sell not only the quickest, but will bring from tea to twenty-five per cent more. Every man, whether fie he a city commission merchant, a country storekeeper or a fanner, who list tried to sell farm produce, knows this to be the fact} yet thrcc-fourtbs of our farm products are sent to market in a very poor condition to realise good prices. Fruit rnen ???re generally moro careful than any other class, taken aa a whole, yet some of them arc very careless. It is not putting the best ou top that make* an article soil well, but a uni form quality all through a package is what brings the beat price*, provided it is put up neatly nnd is in good condition. Eggs ore inoro usually sent to tho city in caeca mudo especially for their use; but the termer, when ho talus the eggs'lo town, picks them in bran, sawdust or oats. If they aro dirty no ellort ia made to clean them off???they are all eggs, clean or dir tv. The majority of farmers' wiv*s take their butter to market iu large rolls, without any particular size or shape. Whatever is made at one churning la rolhd up into one lump, and the next into another lump. The country merchant dumps all that comas into the mine box and ships it to the city, where it ia sold m country butter, at a very low price. When sold at retail the purchaser looks ever the butter nnd almost invariably picks out the neatest-looking roll*, leaving the balance. Many of our housekeepers grumblo because country butter is so low, wneu tho principal part of the fault is their own. Tako ???oiiie pains to send your butter to town in neat, clean shape. Jf you have not got a stomp, purchase one. Make it a rule to hava all that you send look neat and attractive. You will soon hear: Mrs. A. makes nico but ter; 1 would rather pay five conts more a pound for her butter thin any one olio's, be cause it always looks so clean and nice. The merchant is sure to know this, and will be willing to pay you accordingly. You may think this a little matter, but it is a fact, as a very little inquiry will convince you. Every farmer's wife kuowi that it often happens that country stores get moro butter than tiny want, yet if good butter is put up In the right condition they will olleu purchase yours, when under other circumstances they would refuse to buy at all. Many a farmor in selling potatoes ha* sullercd loss by mixing large and small together; he got a low price by not taking a little earn when sorting. These smell potato**, when sold by measure, amount to but little, as they only fill up tho spaoes between Hie large ones, and they can lar hot ter bo led to stock thon be allowed to damage the whole by being sold without proper aort- Ing. The same may be said of the larger pro portion of fruit and vegetables; the small specimens cause the large ones to sell at a low price. Give this matter a trial; show tho one you ???re selling to that what you have is all of the best quality, and is uniform throughout??? Whether it be potatoes, apples, cubbago or other farm produce. Don???t bo foolish enough to imagine you ran make anything bv putting tho best on tho top of the barrel. This may do once, but it is sure to react ujm>ii you, and cause morn loss than gain. Taka rcaaonablo pains to have everything that you send to market iu the best condition possible. When ever you can, mark your name upon tho pack age, nnd you will be surprised how quick pur- chuM-rs will recognise your goods. It will certoiuly prove profitable If reasonable care is taken.???N. J. Bhcpherd, in Prairie Farmer. Imi'Rovk the Cattle.???It is not by chance that the Jersey excel* ns* butter cows, tho Itol- sli iiis iu the production of milk, and tho Fbrrtborni, Hereford* uml Follod-Angus in production of beef. They have bcon bred for these distinct objects through generations till tht-ir characteristics httvo become so fixed that the nu.les aro able to impart them to their progeny In a large degree when cressod with the natives. Tlils being tho oaso and these Improved breeds being ready at hand it is fol ly for the farmer to neglect to avail himself of thrin, claiming thut iu time he or his descen dants could produce just ns good and valuable breeds a* they. It ho wanta a better dairy ho will grade un with Jerseys, or it his aim ia milk, either lor market or choese, with ltd- ulema. The value of such crosses It forcibly shown in a briet extract from a paper read be fore the Wisconsin dairy mens' association last winter by C. It. Ikoch, of Whitewater, \Vi??. cousin; which is as follows! ???8. N. Wright, of Elgin, 111,, reports that (Voin his hord of twenty *??evrn grade Holstein cows ho received IV4.7I per bead fin 1H83), and yet the average proceeds from the dairies of our state (Wiscon sin) will not much exceed on o-third of tho amount." Conceded that iu easo of Mr. ???Wright he feeds better than tho average dairy man (though this is not shown), ami making nil due allowance for tho cost of such extra feeding, there yet remains a large margin of excess of receipts over those of the averago dairyman which ran only be credited to the Holstein blood in bis herd. Some of tho best butter records ol herds that have come under our notice have been of grade Jerseys, not pure bloods. Tbe extra cost to the 'farmer who raises a grade is only the value of the ser vice of the bull, not to exceed five dollars. While making all due allowances, tbe product of Mr. Wright's herd in 1883 it not less than |2&prr cow iu excess of that realised bw aver- age dairymen from his native cows, such il- luslrcti. n* might be multiplied of the benefita fretn the infusion of improved blood ??? in dairy Surds. The same is true in beef auimals. The ???? adi- abort horn, Hereford or Polled Angus excel* tbe native iu weight at a giveu ago and on a given nmouut of food. Not only this, but he furnhhes, when brought to the block, ??? larger weight of choice cuts in proportion to carcass, bringing a higher price. It is by no means necessary that every dairyiuau or stock grower and feeder should go cxteusivly into tboioughbird stock, but ho eau aud should avail himself of the use of thoroughbred inalea to improve the quality of his herds either for the dairy or the butcher. The dairyman es pecially should breed hia best eowa to thoroughbred bulls of whichever breed he pre fers. and raise his heifer calves. IlrntABUi VsuiTtRM or l???a**.???This section Is where thousands of bushels of peas are raised for sevdmen. There are several aeed establishments located in prominent villages in this county. There was #7*0,000 worth of ???erd peas raised here last season. All this ???ection of country near lake Ontario is con sidered adapted to peas. The soil, climate, etc., with good culture, brings good crops and handkome seed, quite froe from bugs. Tho seedsmen when they receive,! tho peas from farmers used to put camphor gum iu tho bags ??f peas in order to guard against and kill all bugs which might be in tbe process of hatch ing out. ai d thereby spoil the seed. This method t*f killing bugs being very costly a new plan has been tried which proves a cheaper ???nd better way. They have what is called a bug bouse, a small building air tight. After putting in the pt??* a certain kind of gas ia pul iu and circulated which smothers the bug* be fore they have time to hatch out. This process does not injure the peas in the least. Seed p??e* are furnished to tanners and tho crop f rown by them for a certain price per bushel. have heard that as high aa $30 and $10 per ???ere have been made by them raising doe ervp. A* high a* ft.50 per bushel for some varieties have been paid thtu. I will mention some of the beat varieties of extra early peas f??.r the benefit of those who aro interested in raising them for tbv market, or desire to rake them in the gardcD for their own use. Bliia??? American ???Wonder???Fine flavored ritty, ten inches high; lor the market six weeks after planting. Kentish Invlcta??? Superior flavor, sweet and delirious, two feet high, a blue pea, not quite as t arly as the American Wouaer. I tested this variety lost year; it gave good satisfaction in the market. ??? Pint and Best???Moat every seedman baa a variety called his own, first and best, extra ear Iv, etc., but on a test I think there would i.ot f>e much diflerence in the varieties which each claim as their own production and as earlier than all others. The Telegraph, Telephone, Little Gem, Lsx ton???s William I, Stratagem, Blue I???eter and Philadelphia Extra Early, aro all go oil kind* to raise. There is not anything more delicious and nutritnus ar an article of food, than green peas. Served on our fable at the time of the year when we can pick them from our vines, they are agreeable to the wick and debilitated as well as the healthy and strong. Wo want the best, iweefeet, juiciest and tendercst. Those named above are reliable. riant a row each week or ten day* until the season runs out, and a continual supply may ho had all tho summer. Storikg Fecit.???This is now a daily opera tion in the cnee of those who possess Urge fruit gardens or good orchards, writes a corre ???notdent of The Garden. Apples and pears, the main fruits requiring storing, should never he gathered on any account when wet. In wet seasons, in which there was hardly a c??iy day froai week's end to weak's end, we havo gathered them wet and allowed them to dry in the. house, but this prnctico ii very ob jectionable, as it is a long time before they assume the appearance of dry gathored fruits, and tho damp emitted in drying may moisten I hr house in which they are placed to such an extent that it will prove a source of trouble throughout the whole winter. Apples and pears to keep well and be froe from mildew must Le kept dry. Select, then, dry days tor fruit gathering, nnd make tbe most of Buck weather. No fruit should ever ho gathered until it ports freely from tho tree where tho footstalk joints the wood. Tako an apple in the hand, press it very gently toward on side, and if it breaks off freely at the part just named the crop is ready for gathering. This may ho taken for a guido as regards the in- gathering of pears, too. Some fruits, indeed, clearly indicate by their appearanco whon they may be gathered, but others???especially the high-colored ones???are often deceptive,, and it is best to test them all In the way allud ed to. Valuablfe sorts and those just utmost ripe should be looked over very frequently just now, when they are ready to drop off the trees with the slightest oscillation; a windy day or night will bring them down in show ers, briiLing and spotting them; they should therefore bo gathered and stored beforo this occurs. Lnto kinds and unripe ones will hear a great deal of shaking about before they drop, and, relying on this, it is mistake to gather them in an unripe state. Good fruit can not be too carefully handled. To shako them down and then collect them is bad practice. The trees may be tall and tho upper parts not easily reached, but this should never bo a-rea son for rough handling. Ladders should be used, and there should be no throwing the fruit into baskets; en the contrary, all sliotiM be put gently into them with the hand. When the basket is full, sever turn the contents out iu running order, but -lift each fruit out and put it down again with the utmost care. This is tho only way in which to keep fruit good and perfect. How to Csss For Colts.???In ordor to winter B colt well sud have him come out in tho spring a showy, sturdy animal, particular at tention must bo paid to his growth during tho first summer ami autumn. If tho maro'a milk is sufficient to keep the colt in good flesh and thriving steadily, it is best to resort at once to cow's milk. Skimmed milk answers vory well for this purposo, especially if a little ilax sood jelly oil or cotton seed meal is mixed with it. A neaped tnblcspoonful night and morning is enough to begin with, whon tho colt is a month old???this can be gradually increased lo a pint per day by tho tfino tho colt is six months old, or double this if the colt is of tho largo farm or cart horse breed. Oats may also bs given as soon as they can bo eaten. Begin with a half pint night ami morning ami gradually increase, according to the age and size of the animal, to four quarts per day. These, to gether with tho meal above, should bo sup plemented with a couple of quarts of wheat oruu night aud morning. Tho latter is excel lent to prevent worms aud help to keep tho bowels in good condition. Colts should not be |H>rmilted lo stand on a plank, cement, paved or uuv hard floor tho first year, as these aro liable to injuriously ??fleet tho feet and legs. Unless tho yard where the colts run in tho wiuter has a sandy or fine, dry, gravelly soil, it should be well littered, so as to keep tlielr feet dry. Mud or soft, wetish ground is ant to make teuder hoofs, *no matter how well bred tho colt may be. The reason why the horses in onn district crow up superior to those of another in hoif, bone, muscle and action, is becauso it has a dry limestone or sileOeous soil. Whon the walk season cornea in tho liot days of summer, do not let the roll run with its dam from moiling until night; and whon the mare comes home trom her work heated, allow her to cool ot! before suckling tho colt,or milk outa little with your hand, as her over heated milk is liubie to give the colt diarrhoea. A. II. II. college, rays the peaches successfully grown in n< it hern China, aud bo expects to find that tbe variety grown there will withstand the hardest winters of Illinois and Iowa. Woo! growers in the Pawnee valley, Kan tee, says a western paper, and contiguous re pit hs ore talking about establishing a central wool house, where their wool may be gathered rnd stored for shipment in bulk. The state of New York has 241,0 /0 farms of ever twenty screa each, while all New Eng land baa but 207,232 farms of twenty acres and over. Only two other states have a larger number???Ohio has 247,180 and Illinois bat 255,741. According to Professor Thompson, of the No break a agricultural college, grass fed hogs are less liable to disease than those fed on grain exclusively. Cleanliness is an aid, al ways, to ward oB disease, whether it relate* to animals o BtephfL Gentleman that small flocks of sheep pay rel atively better than large ones because they are ???privileged characters," by which he means tbat they receive vafltly more eg re and att< ntion than larger flocks Tbe low price of wheat this season is induc ing tbe wheat growera of Dakota and Minne sota to look about tor a more remunerative crop to replace it. Flax will probably be more largely cultivated, as the success of that crop boa so far been quite marked A Texas exchange states, with a good deal of satisfaction, that buyers hunting cheau sheep are not finding the success anticipated. Bhcep owners arc not giving away a sheep .and a baif-grown fleece for the price of the fleece just now. A change is good in this re- upset. The Lancaster, Pa., Intelligencer say* that the largest, best kept and best stocked carp ponds in the country ???ore near that city, under the management of the Lancaster Piscatorial company. Some of the carp in these ponds arc twenty-seven inches ioug aud weigh from six to seven pounds. An Indiana dairyman covers the cow with a horse blanket or sheet while milking, thus preventing the annoyance ot flics and adding greatly to the comfort of tho cow, which if otherwise continually engaged in battle with the Insect world. If a horse blanket is used it should be a dean one. When a horse refuses to eat, he should not bo modo to do any more service that day, for it may be known that he is tired out or sick. It is barbarous to compel a horse to perform labor when in such a condition that he refines iin,yeti nk they are merciful. The finest hams grown on this continent are from those portions of Texas where the pecan tree flourishes. Chunky youug porker* are turned out in the fall under the trees, and they feast on the nuts until they becomo very fat, equaling in flavor the Westphalia meat. When hogs are thus at liberty they do not grow as largo ns when penned up, but their flesh is more solid. Unruly stock is almostalways hungry stock, and hungry, half-starved animals are justified in jumping fences to find a moal. It is not creditable to a man's farming to own unruly stock, as it shows him to bo a poor, neglectful feeder. When tho pasture gets short, supple ment it by feeding sometlung???stall-feeding, if necessary. , SOME FARM FACTS, Maxim nr.xT or lion*,???In reply t*> your in quiry about hogs, 1 will venture to offer a sug gestion i The only safe way in manage u lot of hogs is to keep off disease. Don't wait (or cholera ami tlien trust to drugs. Keep your hogs away from muddy feed lots; keep them out of wut beds and don't let them nest or pile up iu beds of oust. There is no hog that ??????Doe* not know his own, hi* native bed,??? and oi.o of tlio best things wo farmers can do, is to destroy the ???hog bed??? very nfion. Change your hog* form one lot to anoth-r ns often a* possible. If there are symptoms of disease, or loss of appetite, coughing, etc., ho sure to change your hogs even though you put them in your yard or garden. Now il there is no improvement, stop your hogs from the water thirty-six hours, and at once reduce your feed to one-fourth the usual ullowance: Then, your hega being both thirsty and hungry, give ???very cue hundred hogs ten pounds of sulphur, three pounds of coiterss, (pulverised), three pounds of 8panith brown, one quart of salt, four ounces of black antimony, seventy-five pounds of ship stuff, one tablespoonful of con centrated lve thoroughly dissolved. Make a barrel full of slop, stir it well, and let your hogs to it. It is well to divide the bogs into two or three gangs and give them this slop separately so that all get it. After this, put your hogs in a clean pasture with pure water. Change diet frequently aud keep before them a trough of the above mixture, omitting lye, antimony and ship stuff. In tho place of these put two or three bushels of ashes and one-half bushel of salt instead of a quart. Take pour begs that cough, out of the drove and keep them away. In a week kill all that have not improved. The reet will live and do welt. Farm and Garden. U Is poor economy to neglect making tho most manure out of what grows ou the far.-u. Vegetable manures never fail to fertilize las ???oil and add to the enlargement of crops. Grain and hay are sometimes worth moro to feed to cattle for fattening purposes than so sell at the market rates. The judicious farmer w ill be on the lcokout to tee when this can be done. Tbe black knot in plum trees, lika the yel low* in the peach, demands instant attention. The knife is the only remedy; prompt and there ugh removal ??fall affected wood is tie only meat.s uf saving the tree. Every month is a harvest season for soms section of tbe \rorid, though the harvest does not always consist of hay or grain. There is a fruit harvest as well aa a wheat harvest, and harvests also ??f other products.
