The dreamy chirp of Autumn in
sects. the rustle of cool breezes
through yellow blades of ripening
corn and the affectionate greeting of
the candidate, all betoken the wan
ing of royal mid-summer and the ad
vent of the mellow Autumn season.
Unfermented Wine.—“Pick the
grape from the stems and wash. Cook
them with as little water as for jelly.
When soft, strain through a flannel
bag. To one quart of juice allow
three quarters of a pound of sugar
(granulated.) Let the juice boil and
skim it, then put in the sugar and
cook until all is dissolved. While
boiling hot put in self-sealing jars, or
in bottles corked and sealed. Allow
one-third juice to two-thirds water
for a drink.”
Do not forget that feed, and plenty
of it, and the right kind, has every-*
thing to do with the making of a fine
animal. The best Hereford or Short
horn, the finest Berkshire or Poland
China, will soon degenerate into an
inferior animal if not properly fed.
Some farmers sell their cattle after
they think they have them fattened,
when the fact is they are only in
shape then to be fattened. Keep
good stock and feed well the year
round, the result is found when driv
en upon the scales.
Early Rose Potato.—We see the
following in an exchange jmper.
"Improved Early Rose potatoes in
blossom and in 83 days from planting,
will be as large as good sized marbles.
These were planted on the 29th of
June on land from which crops of
grass, oats, and rye had been taken
for several years. We copy this
merely for the information give.i.
Doubtless the same land, after the po
tatoes are gathered, will make a good
harvest of corn, grass, oats, or ry;e.
The cultivation of the potatoes shades
and loosens the ground preparing fit
for any of these crops. *
The Tomato.—In the same paper
it is said “the evolution of the toma
to is going on in a remarkable way.
Not many years ago the fruit was
mostly skin and seeds, but the newest
varieties are almost soild pulp, with a
few seeds. Possibly, as in the case of
the banana, the seeds will yet disap
pear altogether, and the plants will
have to be propagated by cuttings.”
We think this would be a great disad
vantage. It would certainly be a far
more tedious and troublesome way to
get that delightful vegetable, so uni
versally cultivated, now, in America,
Europe and other countries. Most
people we doubt not would prefer to
take tomatoes with a fair proportion
of seeds.
Cutting Timber.—We would sug
gest to those who have not thought
of. or bceome acquainted with the
fact, that August is the month for
cutting timber to make it last. Per
haps the last half of July and Septem
ber would come under the rule. All
timber for fences, repairs, and most
other purposes, lasts much longer
when cut under these limits as to
time, than in any other periods of the
year. Some kinds of wood, cut then,
will last two or three times as long as
at other periods. We need not enter
into giving the reason for it, as the
experience of close observers, almost
universally attest the truth of the
plan. The periods referred to find the
growers of cotton v.ery busy in gath
ering the crop; but there are days
when that work cannot be done, and
in times, too wet to gather cotton, the
timber can be cut without any injury
to it.
Cleanliness and healthy food are the
essential prerequisites to healthy and
thrifty pigs. Pigs are the worst abus
ed class of domestic animals on the
farms. It seems to be expected of
them that they can thrive on filthy
food. Give them clean pens or bet
ter still, a run on the ground in warm
weather, with green food as part of
their diet. Good stock cared for
properly will seldom show disease or
bring losses to their owners.
One of the best, well-tried and al
ways successful preventives of dis
ease among swine is to keep a trough,
to which they can always have ac
cess, filled with a mixture composed of
60 parts of wood ashes, 20 parts salt,
12 parts sulphur and 8 parts copperas.
The pigs will regulate their doses.
Prof. Turner of Jacksonville, 111., has
been successful with this preventive,
as already composed by him.
MOVABLE FENCES.
Very often it isdesirable to move fences
for small lots, in order to have them
enriched by the droppings pt cattle,
sheep &c. • In the Iong run, it will be
more convenient to have some other
material to enclose them, than our old
fashioned rails, One of the best ma
terials for this is the barbed isfijre. It
is put up and can be obtained with
little trouble so that a small lot may
be enclosed in an hour or that will
keep out dogs if it is desired to make
a small enclosure. Barbed portable
wire fences can be put up and taken
down in a very short time. They, too,
will keep out dogs so that sheep can
not be troubled by them.
PASTURES AND COWS.
Pastures are of great importance of
course, but dairymen say there are
few pastures that will carry a herd of
cows through the summer and keep
up the flow of milk without feeding
them at the barn. Pastures become
parched and fall to furnish as much
food as is needed. It is important,
therefore, to have green food grow
ing such as rye, green corn sown
broadcast, from which to supply the
deficiency in food; and for milchcows
various kinds of mixtures such as
boiled peas, with bran to obtain the
full flow of milk. When pastures be
gin to fall off these are essential.
To Sow Grass Seed.
Some, who have much experience
in sowing grass seed, say that the lat
ter part of August and the month of
September are the best periods of the
year for sowing them. This is quite
probable for the seed and grass plants
have the benefit of our second spring.
They grow off well and the roots are
not injured by the mild winters of the
South, and with their strong roots
continue to grew off finely the next
spring and summer.
The grass seeds sown in the spring run
the risk of being killed, or greatly
checked by the hot summer months.
In the South we would prefer to sow
them early in September. They would
be liable to be killed, or the young
shoots much retarded by the hot sun
in August. We always have some
good rains in September. We are
often somewhat roasted and stewed
by the hot August sun; but in Sep
tember it loses much of its fervent
heat and shines in softened splendor.
With September rains it sustains the
young grass, and the sun, from its
fading throne, dispenses a temperate
heat so favorable to the growth of
the tender grass plants. Out of abun
dant caution we should prefer the
month of September to the hot and
fiery August.
Pastures of native grass, clover, lu
cerne, or any other growth, should
not be cropped too close and especially
are they injured by the tread of the
stock just after rains. To avoid this,
one should have a patch of rye or
other growth, to be used mainly for
stock, to prevent too close cropping
of the main pasture and especially
after rain. There will be no loss in
this. After rains, or after the main
pasture has been tolerably closely
cropped, put the stock in some con
venient enclosure and feed there for
some days or from the rye, lucerne,
or clover patch. This will keep the
stock up and allow the large pasture
to recover from too close cropping
and from the great evil of being trod
den upon after a heavy rain. Two
good effects result from this; it pre
vents the pasture from being trodden
after rain, or being so closely cropped
as to be temporarily unfit for sup
plying the stock with a sufficiency of
food, and best of all prevents the
stock from falling off for want of suf
ficient food. It is a great loss in
stock raising to let them suffer even
for a few days from lack of sufficient
food, and it requires not only time,
but a great deal more food to enable
them to make up the loss in flesh.
This is often overlooked, and rain or
shine, whether the pasture has to a
considerable extent failed or not, the
stock is often turned in day after day
to the great injury of both. This
matter is well worth consideration,
and the plan we suggest will remedy
the evil alluded to.
Bill Arp on Farming.
GEORGIA DAIRIES.
Some attention is being given to
the establishment of dairies in Geor
gia for making butter. It can be made
a profitable business in our State.
The uncertainty, which attaches to
the profitable culture of cotton, is
likely to cause attention to dairy pro
ductions. The grocers in Georgia, we
have no doubt will encourage those
who enter into this business. When
some enterprising people will go
heartily into this business, and furn
ish articles of real excellence, grocers
will be found to take their products
and lend a helping hand. Unlike cot
ton it may be made a profitable busi
ness. Nothing is wanted but good
grasses, good milk stock, and earnest
efforts on the part of those who en
gage in the business. No one can
doubt that the grasses will grow lux
uriantly; the stock can be obtained
and Georgia can furnish all the neces
sary skill. Success we firmly believe
will follow a proper effort in this de"
sirable line.
SELF HELP.
This is the same old story. History
keeps on repeating itself. The few
will get rich—the many will stay poor
and grumble. Tiberius passed an
agrarian law, 2000 years ago and took
the lands away from the rich and divi
ded them in small farms and gave
every citizen so many acres, accord
ing to quality, and in ten years’ time
one-tenth of them owned all the lands
and the others were their tenants.
From that time on, the Gracchii and
others tried the same experiment at
different times, but it did no good and
brought trouble, and every effort that
ever has been made to make all men
equal has failed, for'it is against the
order or nature. Some men will get
ahead of others by industry, some by
good luck, and some by inheritance,
and some by good management, and
some by tricks and rascality. Some
men who have a fair start and are dil
igent in business, seem to have a bad
run of luck and lose their estates by
fir© or flood or something else; but
most men lose by working too little
and spending too much. The poverty
of most people is more generally their
own fault than their misfortune. It
is easily possible for one healthy young
man to make enough on rented land
to support eight persons, and that is
just what the world is doing accord
ing to the best statistics. One-eighth
of the population supports the rest.
If a young man will start out at twen
ty-one to work on a farm, and will be
diligent and prudent and only spend
what is actually necessary to keep
himself comfortable, he will be a rich
man by the time he is forty.
If he marries a prudent woman who
will be a helpmate and not a mill
stone, it will be no draw back on his
progress. She can raise children, and
chickens, and cook, and cheer him up
and comfort him and in their old age
they will have enough to secure them
against want and give their children
a reasonable start. There is really
no necessity for the masses of the
farming people to suffer in this bless
ed land. The chronic grumblers and
those who envy the rich, are about
the meanest people we have got, and
they are the laziest. I have rumina
ted over all trades and conditions, and
am satisfied that a comfortable farmer
who is not rich enough to be proud
and not poor enough to steal, beg or
suffer, has more reason to be happy
than any other class. A man ouglit’nt
to be rich enough to get lazy and fat
and do nothing. The middle class
are the happiest—the class that are
not obliged to sell their cotton or corn
as soon as it is made or a little sooner.

HOG CHOLERA.
This is quite a common disease and
many remedies have been suggested.
The following are some of the main
features of the disease. Drooping
ears, low-hanging head, diarrhoea,
vomiting, rapid breathing and an
aversion to light. Sometimes, in mild
attacks, all of these symptoms' are not
present, but when all or most of them
appear, the case may be considered
dangerous. The first thing to be done
is to separate the affected hog from
the rest, and place it totally out of
the reach of the others.
The following are some of the rem
edies resorted to. Put some shelled
corn in a basket and poor over it
some spirits of turpentine. Do not
soak the corn in the turpentine but
merely wet it with it. The corn will
very soon become dry but will be suf
ficiently impregnated with the tur
pentine. Throw a handful of this
oornto each hog effected with the dis
ease, every two or three days. No
tice whether he eats it and if not, con
tinue to throw some to it until he
does eat it.
Another remedy is this: Boil some
corn in ley and feed it to the sick hogs
or keep ashes in a trough where the
hog is fed, and pour shelled corn over
the asheB. This is said to be one of
the best remedies.
Another remedy, well recommended
is to feed with slop in which pine tops
have been well stirred, or meal, boil
ed with pine tops.
Still another is to drench the hog
with two tablespoonsful of epsom salts
dissolved in water, in case he is too
sick to take it in his food. This is
highly recommended.
A preventive of cholera among hogs
is the following and is highly recom
mended. Boil pokeberry roots with
the food once a week. If hog cholera
should be in the neighborhood it is
well to try this as a preventative.

—AND—
Despite all that philosophers or
cranks may write, every man has to
help himself. The Creator so ordain
ed and there can be no exemption.
But it is wise to pay heed to the way
of best caring for one’s self. What is
commonly called selfishness is not
that way. It is full of dangers to the
best part of a man, grows rougher as
it lengthens. It comes to be a very
nervous route and the traveler has
few companions or friends when he
reaches the end of it. It is lonesome.
Selfishness defeats itself.
True self help consists in the recogni
tion of others and studying the gener
al good as it includes that of each.
No man can neglect others and take
good care of himself. We are all tied
up in a bundle.
According to English physicians we
get our scarlet fever from the cow, or
at least, the disease can come from
that direction. An epidemic of scar
let fever in one part of London was
traced to a proven infected dairy. It
is the opinion of the physicians that
the milk while in the udder of the dis
eased cow was healthy enough, but
in the act of milking became charged
with germs from sores on the udders.
