MANURING LAND.—PROFIT. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesomeness. More economical than the ordinary kinds, and cannot be sold in competition with the multitude of low test, short weight, alum or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans, Royal Baking Powder Co., 106 Wall St. New York. 15 11m Agricultural -Department. Turnips.—Many have been taking advantage of the good season for sow ing turnips. Two or three sowings between the middle of August and the last of September is the best plan. It is good policy too, to sow some from the first to the middle of Octo ber. They will afford a good spring supply. The idea that sheep at pasture will live and thrive without water to drink is a serious and costly delusion to many farmers. By eating when dew is on the grass they can get long with little water, but that little they require as absolutely as any other stock, or poor condition and poor wool will tell the story of their deprivation. Veal and Ham Cutlets.—Cut gen erous slices of cold boiled ham and fry them in their own fat, remove to a hot chafing dish, and in the same fat; adding a little lard, cook the cutlets when you have beaten them flat with the broadside of a hatchet, salted and peppered, then dip them in eggs and cracker crumbs. Lay them in over lapping alternately on a hot dish. Farmers sometimes wish to make accurate experiments on a small scale. We prepare the following statement to enable them to do this with but little trouble. One acre contains 160 square rods. This is 4,840 square yards or 43,500 square feet. One rod is 5£ yards, and a square rod is 30 square yards, and 25-100 of another square yard. If therefore one wishes to experiment with a square rod, he will lay off his land 30 yards each way and 25-100 of another square yard. But he can dis pense with the fraction and experi ment with a plot 30 yards each way. The square rod is 275 square feet and 35-100 of another square foot. One acre is 208 square feet and 71-100 of another square foot. A half acre leaving out a very small fraction, 147 square feet. A fourth, of an acre leaving out a small fraction, is 105 square feet, and the 8th of an acre leaving out a small fraction in square feet. Sometimes a farmer may wish to use one or the other of these plats, and if he will preserve this, he can always in a few minutes lay off the requisite quantity of land with which he may wish to experiment It is very useful in dividing up the land of his garden. Knowing the quantity of land in it, by the forego ing formulas, he may readily see how much he may appropriate to cab bages, to Irish potatoes, to peas or beans, or any other vegetable crop We are at the trouble to make out this table believing it will be useful as one may appropriate the land ex actly in accordance with his prefer ence in the kind and character which he cultivates, and it enables a farmer to conduct, accurately, such experi ments as he might desire to make in estimating the value of various pro ductions from a given quantity of land. This accurate system of experi ments would, also, tend to show* what cultivation would be attended with the greatest profit. COW PEAS. TURNIPS. In the season of harvest farmers are often prone to think they have no time to do anything except crowd the storing of their crops—no time to read, no time to think and converse, and enjoy other rational and restful recreations indulged in other seasons. This is neither natural, profitable nor right. Mind and body need rest and refreshment in harvest as well as at other times.—National Stockman and Farmer. The following are given as the food equivalents of a pound of flesh: If you want a pound of flesh matter intro duced into an animal, you can get it, says the Stockman, from 3 pounds de corticated cotton cake, or from 4 pounds linseed cake, from 4 pounds rape cake, from 4£ pounds beans, from 54 pounds undecorticated cotton cake, from 44 pounds oats, from 8 pounds corn, from 8 pounds locust beans, from 45 pounds potatoes, and from 130 pounds turnips. As to grass, 1 pound of flesh will be secured from 30 pounds clover, and from 8 to 10 pounds hay. The idea that the shade of weeds in hoed crops saves the soil from drying up is not so prevalent as it once was. It i- sometimes urged even now, but only ms a pretext for shirking, and should rank with the objections that Solomon puts in the mouth of the sluggard against doing necessary work, really based on his disinclina tion to do the work required. A weed uprooted serves as a mulch, but it is not advisable to let it get large enough for this use. It will do the soil more good to bury a weed as soon as large enough to be seen than to wait for larger growth. In the soil the moist ure it has drawn from it will again become available for growing crops. White Soup.—Three pounds of a “knuckle" of veal, bones broken and meat minced, one half cup of raw rice, three quarts of water, two tablespoon fuls of butter, rubbed in flour, half an onion chopped, three eggs, one cup of milk, two tablespoonfuls of minced parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Put water, meat, bones, rice, and onion over the fire and boil very slowly for four hours. Strain, pick out meat and bones and rub the rice through a fine colander. Season, re turn to the fire, boil up, skim well, and put in parsley and butter. Heat the milk in a saucepan, pour upon the beaten eggs and stir into the soup, re moving the latter from the fire as soon as they are fairly mixed together. Corn meal Cup Cake.—Two even eups of white Indian meal, half a cup of wheat flour, four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, four beaten eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, ha>lf tea spoonful of soda, twice as much cream of tartar, and one teaspoonful of salt sifted with meal and flour, one-half teaspoonful mixed mace and cinna mon, one quart of boiling milk. Stir flour, meal, salt, soda, cream tartar into the hot milk: heat for fifteen min ( utes in a farina kettle surrounded with boiling water, stirring all the time: add the butter, turn out and beat hard; let the mixture get cold be fore beating in the eggs, whipped light with ’ sugar and spice; stir hard and bake in buttered patty pans; turn out and eat warm with butter. Some experienced farmers say, they have found from practical experience that for all working animals, a pound of pea meal, mixed in feeding with a pound of corn, is worth a good deal more than two pounds of corn. They say, also, that a horse fed in this way is healthier and able to do more work than if fed all corn. The opinion has gained with many who have tried it, that horses, fed with peas or oats, with corn, are much more abundant in muscle, healthier and stronger than if fed in the usual way with all corn and fodder or hay. Agricultural chemists favor this idea, or, at least, the great value of feeding leguminous plants, beans and peas to animals. They contain the elements of the pro tine compounds so valuable as food for animals. Some of the agricultur al chemical writers go so far as to say that the legumen of bean and peas give them more nutrative value than corn. If that be true, it goes far to sustain the opinion heretofore alluded to, and as they are more easily and and abundantly’ grown, it would sus tain the idea of thoge who commend their use with corn as food for horses. SENSIBLE FARMERS. The resolutions of practical value adopted by’ the convention of South Carolina farmers as summarized by the Charleston News and Courier, were as follows: “1. The general depression of the farming interest throughout the the Southern States is not the result of bad State legislation or un wise administration, but is directly traceable to our unwise system of raising all cotton and buying every thing we use in foreign markets. 2. The present improverished condition of the farmers of the State is attribu table to the following causes: First, a false idea of the profits of cotton qrops; ‘second, a ruinous system of ten antry; third, a ruinous system of farm ing without care for the* preservation of the fertility of thesoil: fourth, care less and willful giving away of hard- earned money for worthless commercial fertilizers; filth, the shameful neglect to raise the necessary supplies for home consumption; sixth, the careless and unbusinesslike manner of manag ing, of financiering, and of contract ing debts; seventh, the great want of practical fellowship among farmers; eighth, the neglect to raise stock suffi cient to supply the farm.” These re solutions it will be well for the far mers of South Carolina to ponder and act upon. They are the deliber ate conclusions of practical agricultur ists, not of theorists, they are the views of farmers of the .day, familiar with all existing difficulties and em barrassments. Fried chicken is always relished, and is especially’ nice with a cream sauce. Clean a young chicken, divide it in quarters, season the pieces with salt and pepper and sprinkle with flour: place two ounces of butter in a frying-pan on the fire, and, when quite hot, put in the pieces of chicken and fry a golden brown; arrange the pieces on a dish, pour around them a sauce made as follows, and serve hot: Mix a tablespoonful of flour smoothly* with a gill of cold milk, and add half a pint of warm milk; melt one ounce of butter and season it with a little salt and pepper; turn the milk into the butter, beating all the time, and as soon as it is thick, pour it around the chicken. Fortunate, are those farmers whose poultry yard is not exposed to preda tory excursions by lawless bipeds in tent on plunder. This is one of the drawbacks to success in many cases where otherwise all the conditions are favorable. There are no meaner pilferers than those who steal chick ens, and since so many have made poultry* breeding a business, this sort of petty’ larceny becomes meaner than ever. Poultry, which used to be only an incident in farming, has become with many their entire avocation. Whenever caught the chicken thief should be given the full penalty of the law, The season for sowing turnips is at hand. To prepare the land fdr this important crop, it should be plowed and cross plowed until it is thorough ly pulverized. The old time plan was to cow-pen the] land and depend al most entirely upon that, but many use some of the guanos at the rate of about 250 pounds per acre. If well cow-penned "for weeks, or months, the use of guano is unnecessary. The finest turnips the writer ever saw was upon land that had been cow-penned for at least two months by a large stock of cattle. No other manure was used. Some sow the seed broad cast and that is as good a plan as any, if the soil was thoroughly filled with the droppings from the cattle. Other wise with an insufficiency of that, it is better to sow in furrows using the manure freely and giving the crop two plo wings. We recently referred to this crop and need not enlarge up on the culture. Where it may be convenient it would be the better plan to have three sowings at inter vals of from 10 days to two weeks. In case of the destruction of the plants by insects, it may be necessary 7 to have additional sowings. As food for stock, the Rutabaga is generally con sidered the best, but the large white Globe is much used for stock as well as the table. 1 CAUTION. Potash Victim. Cured bv S. S..

The farmer is a national benefactor when he makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before. This saying has passed into an aphorism. But its truth depends on circum stances. The two blades may be made to cost so much that either one will be dearer than one alone original ly was. In that case neither the world nor the land owner is benefited by the labor, and capital invested in the improvement for both would have produced more if employed elsewhere. Thus the homely test of profit become the criterion before which thousands of examples of fancy farming go down. Innumerable instances have occurred where wealthy men made farming their hobby and lavished money like water, but without any direct, per ceptible benefit to the great mass of farmers. It is a hard truth to utter, but only as the expensive experiments fail can they help those for whose benefit they were designed. When the fancy farmer abandons the busi ness in disgust, what he has done falls into the hands of those capable of us ing it more wisely. Probably even the} 7 will not make it pay, for money spilled upon the ground is as hard to gather again as milk. The successors of the fancy farmer will perhaps de rive some good from the experiments that had better nevj Lucky for them and if the disastrous failure does not re sult in poorer farming in the entire neighborhood.—American Cultivator, Lucy Hinton Tobacco FOR SALE BY L.

This is to some extend an error. It subsists not only upon the vegetation to be found in the pond, but also takes in sect life as it comes to it in the form of flies, larvte, etc. A little cracked grain of any kind boiled and thrown in is greedily eaten. Boiled corn- meal is excellent; boiled potatoes are good. These things, if to domesticate as we have said, for carp become per fectly tame, swimming up for meals as regularly as pigs come to the trough. If it is desired to feed simply for growth, and not as pets, fill a bur lap sack with ordinary ship-stuff, sew it up tight, weight and sink it in the pond. The soaked feed exudes from the sack and is sucked in by the fish as wanted. It is good food and the carp thrive on it amazingly.—Prairie Farmer. Raising Carp.—Mr. J. W. Mattox, near town, has recently turned his at tention to raising carp. He has ar ranged several ponds, and has them abundantly stocked with the finny tribe. This variety isof rapid growth, excellent flavor, and requires but lit tle attention. \Ve hope it will not be long before our progressive friend will be able to supply this market with an abundance of fresh fish daily.— Outh- bert Enterprise. i Cotton and Corn.—Both the cot- . ton and corn crop are reported as j turning out much better in Georgia and South Carolina than was expect ed.
