STOCK RAISING IN THE SOUTH.

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,

After calves get so they will eat hay
give them what they will eat clean of
thitles and about 1 [quart of^oats daily.
Without the grain the hay will only
keep them in store condition, and
worth little more at a year old than
now. All the profit will come from
the grain, and the farmer who sees
this point will increase the grain feed
all the animals will bear.
Seed of oats or barley should always
be plump and heavy, as this produces
strong plants, which tiller freely.—
While shrunken grain will grow, it is
not good economy to use such, as so
much more seed is required. The great
number of small stunted plants crowd
each other, and produce less crop than
from a smaller seeding of plump and
sound grain. ^
When conditions are just right, on
ions will yield more bushels per acre
than the highest yield reported of po
tatoes. The rows are closer together
than potatoes can be, and though they
will not grow’ one above another as
potatoes will, the entire surface of the
ground in the rows will be covered,
with many of the onions overlapping
each other. In narrow rows little of
the surface of the soil will be bare,
and one thousand bushels have been
grown on a single acre.
O. C. Gregg writes as follows: The
dairy market indicates to-day that we
are on the eve of cheaper butter.—
Cheap bread has come, and cheaper
butter is coming. How can we make
cheaper butter and live? We must
face the market. There is one way in
which we can make honest butter
cheaper, and that is by making more
butter per cow’. We must have more
ten and twelve pound cow’s, and less
seven pound cows and blanks. We
must breed cows as men are breeding
horses—to get there. The rapid ad
vance in dairy breeding is an open
door out of our present difficult}’.—
Bear in mind however, that he who
enters here must leave all hopes of
beef behind.—Head’s Dairyman.
It is remarked that “there are few’,
if any, greater mistakes connected
with the fine stock business just now'
than the over prevalent practice of
breeding tod young. The high cost
of the best types of breeders begets a
desire to realize from them as soon as
possible, and ow ners very frequently
overtax their youngstoek for this very
reason. The consequences are seen
every where—in the early breaking
down of usefulness in sires, in the
dwarfed development of females, in
the imperfection of progeny, in weak
ened constitutions. Thereis nothing
gained by too great haste in this mat
ter. Nature's laws cannot be viola
ted with impunity. The greed which
prompts their violation in the direc
tion indicated should and often does
defeat its own end.”
STOCK FEEDING.
< >f course more care is required in
feeding concentrated food grain, or
meal, than in feeding hay. The time
has gone by in feeding poor hay with
out stint, because it is cheap. It is
the dearest in the end. Horses, cattle,
and every thing is injured by poor
food. Let it be good if less must
used.
Some years ago, a stock raising
sociation was formed in Mississippi.
They elected a President, Treasurer
and Executive committee. Some of
the members became stock raisers.
They were gentlemen of intelligence.
They believed that grass of the best
quality could be abundantly obtained
m that State. In the first place there
was the Bermuda grass to begin with,
while it was everywhere a terrible
pest w’hen it gets a foothold in cotton
and.'corn fields,}it*was readily admitted
to be a very valuable grass for stock.
This was brought into requisition by
members of the association, and with
the native grasses and rye fields
afforded ample feed for stock. For
stock raising and dairy farms nothing
can be better than the old and much
abused Bermuda grass. We lost sight
of this experimental industry in Mis
sissippi. We are at a loss to know
how any cultivators of the soil can
doubt that numerous grasses of a supe
rior quality will fail to grow in our
section. We cannot doubt that stock
raising in the Southern States would
be a profitable business; with a ma
jority of farmers, growing cotton is
not. This is mainly owing lo the fact
that most of the cotton farmers over
crop themselves and success is blight
ed by the overruning of the grass in
their fields. Many farmers know that
their cotton crops are ruined by the
efforts they make to exterminate the
grass. While stock is liable to various
kinds of disease, we think the profit
in a given term of years will be on the
side of the stock farmer.
In the first place, the danger in the
disease of cattle in a term of years, is
not attended with as much loss as the
danger of failures in growing cotton.
The expense in* stock raising, is much
less than in carrying cotton through
all its stages, from its planting to its
sale. There is much expense in fer
tilizers, much in labor, and much in
preparing cotton for market, besides
the liability to its destruction by
worms and droughts.
For stock the fertilizing expense
amounts to but little, in the long
run, to nothing, for the stock furn
ishes all the fertalization required;
the labor is, comparatively, consist
ing, mostly^ in attention to the stock
and while the seasons might be un
favorable to the greatest production
of grass and other green food, the in
jury at the worst can only be partial.
The everlasting daily toil, in
Curing Hay.
It is not well to let grass lie too long
in the blazing sun after it is cut. This
rapid drying, especially when it is car
ried to the point of making the leaves
crumble and rattle off in the form of
dust and chaff, as in olden time was
thought by many to be necessary to
make hay keep well in the mow, re
sults not only in loss by waste but ex
pels somewhat the life and the nutri
ment of the hay.
It is well known that herbs cured
in the shade are better than those that
are sun-dried. It is the same with
grass or other fodder plants. But it
is impossible to make hay in the
shade, and it is a good deal of extra
work to cock it up. It can, however,
be thrown into windrows without ex
tra work. A good plan is to rake up
the hay as soon as it is thoroughly
wilted—that is, while it is in a moist,
pliable condition—and let it cure from
internal heat instead of the direct rays
of the sun. Of course the surface of
of the windrow will be exposed to the
sun, but all below will be curing in
the shade.
Of late years it has been found that
it is not necessary to get hay “bone
dry” before placing it in the mow, in
order to have it keep well. If it is so
dried, it will not remain so. It will
draw moisture from the atmosphore
to replace what has been needlessly
expelled by exposure to the hot tun.
In a short time it will feel quite moist
to the touch, and it will undergo the
sweating process, just as hay put up
in a moister condition does.
be
RUM.
The Maine Farmer says: “A sow
was disposed to kill her young, a
neighbor suggested giving her rum.
It was done, and it not only overcame
her unnatural disposition, but made
her manifest the most motherly care,
and as careful of them as could be de
sired. It must be admitted then that
there is one virtue in rum.
TO KILL LICE ON FRUIT TREES.
Use soap suds or strong tobacco wa
ter, and spray them thoroughly. We
have killed them by tens of thousands
in a pear nursery by using the strong
refuse soap suds on washing days, and
bending the young trees oyer and im
mersing the infected parts into a good
sized vessel containing the soap suds,
and holding them there a few seconds.
A day later nothing was seen of the
lice but their dead remains, and if the
work w’as promptly done before they
had given much check to the growth
of the trees but little harm w’ould be
done. Besides, they are more easily
destroyed when young.—Country Gen-

God.
ing cotton, is five times as much as in
looking after stock.
When the stockraiser has his fields
of Bermuda grass, clover, rye, and
broadcast fields of green corn for
feeding his cattle, all that he has to
do is to look after their penning, con
vert milk into butter and pocket the
money obtained from the sales of the
animals. The Lord sends down the
refreshing rains with their soluble
salts, hydrogen and oxygen, bearing
to the earth, besides their enriching
properties, all the impurities of the
atmosphere to give luxuriance to the
clover and other grass and grain fields
for the sustenance of his stock. The
farmer may sit quietly in his porch,
or at his window, and see how na
ture’s God enriches his soil and af
fords sustenance to his stock. If he
is making cotton the moment the rain
is over and the fields are dry enough,
he must put his hand to the plow’ and
push his work till the hot sun, which
has covered him with the swreat of his
brow and his whole person goes down
to bathe its own glowing limbs in the
ocean waves. If he is a stock raiser,
when the rain is over, he goes out to
see hig fat stock feeding in the green
fields and happy in the verdant treas
ures which nature bestows upon him
for food and sustenance. We often
wonder that more farmers do not be
stow their attention upon the raising
of stock. They make his land rich,
furnish him the choicest food, beef,
mutton, milk and butter, besides
making a comfortable addition to his
purse.
The subject is one w’orthy of the
serious consideration of the tiller of
the soil. If there is one thing on a
farm more beautiful and attractive
than another, it is the verdant
meadow and the green grass fields
over which the sleek cattle, the frisky
lambs and calves are seen browsing
and gambolling upon the
sward.
The question is, can a sufficiency of
superior grass be grown upon our
farms to invite attention to stock
raising and dairy farms. We think
the very fact that they have to toil so
hard, to save their crops from this
vigorous growth of grass, ought to
solve the doubt. Should anything be
needed to remove it, it seems to us
that the thought of the immense
quantity of manure, the stock would
furnish,* to enrich the land, would be
sufficient. We learn that some of our
people in Georgia have started the
experiment. We have no doubt of
their success and look forward to the
day when thousands of our Georgia
farmers will teach, by experiment,
that stock raising w’ill be far prefera
ble to the production of cotton and
the restoration of our beloved State to
a higher plane of personal and gener
al prosperity.
THE OLEOMARGARINE LAW.
Try this recipe for custard: Boil the
rind of one orange until it is tender,
pound it fine in a mortar and add to
it one tablespoonful of brandy, the
juice of two oranges, half a pound of
sugar, the yolks of four eggs and the
whites of three; beat well for ten min
utes and then add one pint of milk.—
Set the mixture on the fire and stir in
one direction until it is set. Tart in
to custard cups or glass dishes and
serve cold.
If Miss A. w’ill follow’ this recipe she
will find the “angel food” a success:—
Beat the whites of eleven eggs to a
stiff froth, and then beat in one cup
and a half of granulated sugar and
one teaspoonful of vanilla. Add one
cup of flour, measured after sifting,
with one teaspoonful of cream of tar
tar. The flour and cream-tartar must
mak | be sifted four times. Beat slowdy and
thoroughly after the flour is added.
Bake in an ungreased pan, tin or earth-
enw’are, in a slow’ oven for forty min
utes. When done set the pan on the
edges of tw’o other pans to cool, unless
you have a pan for the purpose w ith
projecting pieces of tin above each
corner, w’hich will allow a free circula
tion of air when it is turned upside
dowrn. The pan should be a bright
one.
That the child should be trained to
speak the truth, to be scrupulously
honest, to control his appetites, to
regulate his desires, to love justice
and mercy, to cultivate kind feelings
and generous actions, is of as much
consequence to his future life and in
fluence as any kind of information
that could be given him. It avails
more to the workman that he be so
ber, industrious and honest than that
he be well taught in many branches
of learning ; to the business or pro
fessional man, that his honor be above
suspicion is a more momentous mat
ter than that he should have passed
through the fullest curriculum.
The Atlanta Capitol says : “Fulton
county has reduced her tax assess
ment from forty to thirty cents on
one hundred dollars. It needs no
comment. The fact stands out un
controvertible that the county is pros
perous and in a healthy financial con
dition.” And yet some newspaper cor
respondents from Atlanta are trying
to make it appear that prohibition
has ruined the city.
Excitement in Texas.
The bill imposing a tax on every
pound of fraudulent butter manu
factured passed both houses of con
gress some time ago. The president
has signed it and it is now a law. The
act comeg under the head of a reve
nue bill, like the statutes taxing whis
key and tobacco. Of course any man
has a right to manufacture lard and
tallow butter if he wishes. To forbid
ins doing so would be to interfere with
industrial pursuits. But when he sells
that Product for something which it is
not, ttien he oversteps the bounds of
indu stries. Oleomargarine

in the vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the
