STOCK RAISING IN THE SOUTH. as- 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 ilgricultural .Department, 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- l ~ « A heart full of love for mankind brings the soul into harmony with 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 was thus universally sold.
