Wood ashes or potash in some form around the roots of old pear trees will restore them. A leading range paper thinks the days of sending grass-fed cattle to market are nearly’ numbered. It is estimated that the butchers’ strike in Chicago cost the country and the butchers over two million dollars. Macaroni and Onions.—Parboil half pound of macaroni, fry three on ions in butter, stir in the macaroni; serve hot. In twenty years from this time, says a floating estimate, this country must have 70,000,000 cattle to allow of the present per capita consumption of beef. Crkamkd Macaroni.—Boil a pound of macaroni, put in a saucepan with minced ham and one head of garlic, stew until dry, pour over a pint of cream and dish. An agricultural chemist says pota toes require the most potash, beaus the most lime, corn the most phos phoric acid and the cereals the most nitrogen. Good seed is at the bottom of all good farming. No matter how well the ground may he manured and pre pared, if the seed is poor there can be no success. For the bestegg production in heavy fowls oats are as good as feed as any. They give bulk, while the nutriment they contain is of the kind which goes to make eggs instead of fat. When a hoe becomes dull it retards work because of the increased tax it imposes on'strengtli. Sharpen it by tiling to a chizel edge. When sharp it works much more effectively, espec ially when there are weeds to cut. A practical poultry’ raiser—one who raises poultry for profit, not fancy- says that “a well managed poultry business should pay 100 per cent, yearly on all the capital invested in it. The last month or so of a pig’s life has a great influence on the flesh of the animal. You can put on the frame all through the year, but the flavor is largely determined by the feeding du ring the latter period of fattening. The same is true ■of all animals. Green cucumber peel scattered about a building will rid it of cock roaches. They are poisoned by the pee), which they eat witli great relish. It is sometimes necessary to follow up the experiment two or three nights, using fresh peel every night. Gov. McEnery, of Louisiana, lias call ed upon tlie Governors of the differ eut states to send delegates to an In ter State convention in the interest of stock raising, dairying, fruit-growing nnd general agriculture, to he held at Lake Charles, La., February 22, 2a and 24. Soithkhn Macaroni.—Put alter nate layers of boiled maearoni, with fried chicken and okra in a deep dish, season with cayenne pepper, salt, but ter ami a glass of good wine; cover with a thick layer of cheese. Serve with grated Stilton Cheese. Macaroni Cookkd in Mick. Break into pieces one inch long, work, and boil in new milk until tender; drain and put into the bottom of a bak ing dish; sprinkle with pepper, salt, grated crackers and bits of butter, then another layer of macaroni. Pour over fresh milk, and set in the oven to brown. The Boston American Cultivator, discussing the subject of food for horses says that “ground grain is the cheap est form in which nutriment can be f iven to working horses. But to pro- uce tlie best effect it should be mix ed with cut hay, not to give greater bulk,tliiB the horse's stomach does not require, but to make tin* food more porous in the stomach, so that tlie grastic juices may more freely work through it. Meal alone, especially of corn, which lias scarely any chaff, will compact in the stomach and be less easily digestible. The heavy chaff of oats is one of the reasons this grain is So valuable for horse feed. Anoth er is that the oat abounds in ui- POULTRY. Are those who have them hiking due precaution to have them in the best condition for laying? In very cold and had weather liens should be confined to their houses and well fed. Change about In feeding with corn, peas, wheat, rve, oats and barley. All ~ The effect is better than feeding for a long time with either one. A good plan is to mix them all and they will get some of each every time they are fed. Dig for worms if any can be got and if not give thorn a little of any kind of fresh meat about twice a week. Two or three times a week mix some chalk beat up with dough. In cold weather let the cold be taken from the#wi*ter they drink. If they heed they don’t object to tepid water. Never let them run out in the cold rain. The house they occupy should fte clbaneil out every two weeks or ten daysy Bee that the house is close ttifofiffn the sides as well os the top to f protect them from the cold rain. '•In wwarrn weather nof harm is done if they get a little wet. Some recommend putting a .little :>sts. If SWIFT’S SPECIFIC. kerosene on their roosts. If any look t sick and droopy separate them from ‘the others. Give the sick one a dose of at least two pills of tlie common yellow soap. There is no trouble In giving them if tlie pills are small and covered thickly with dough. If there are desperate cases administer from a quarter to a half teasnoonful of tinct ure of lobelia. Make the nests of straw and keep them clean. It is bet ter than hay and either is much bet ter than leaves. Let tlie nest be com pletely separate and so arranged that they will keep perfectly dry. Borne people put small barrels with straw for nests, small enough for the hens to get out oasily. Give the hens all the egg-shells and let them have what they will eat of carbonate of lime. In some places this can be pulled from old wall*. Mens wont lay well unless they can get egg-shells or car bonate of lime. It in easy to make up some mortar with lime and this is as good as any. It these suggestions are followed a plenty of eggs will be obtained and the chickens will be in good condition and healthy. HOGS. It is enough to say in favor of tlie Berkshire breed that they are easily fattened, and in many instances will dress at 400 pounds, at a year old and at 18 or 20 months with proper treat ment will weigli 000 pounds. The Eesex is believed to be more valuable for crossing, but do not equnl in pure blood the Berkshire. The Suffolk compares favorably with tlie Berk shire, fattens easily and makes a handsome return for good treatment. Tlie Yorkshire makes a good returu but does not equal the Berkshire. The Chinese is a smaller hog but its chief merit is as a crosser upon other breeds. Wo copied some time ago, the great er part of an article from tlie Atlions- Banner Watchman, giving an ac count of a visit to Mr. \V. Y. Elder, a successful agriculturalist of Oconee county. We gave that part of tlie ar ticle descriptive of Mr. Elder’s mode of cultivating corn and cotton. We refer to it again, merely to pat on separate record the mnmirial formu las for cotton and corn. The reader will remember the method of cultiva tion. The manure for corn consisted of a two-horse wagon load of loose, well rotted lot manure, mixed with Orr’s Hunters Magnolia Acid from 150 to 200 pounds to the acre. This is the receipt for the corn. For cotton the formula is 200 pounds of Magnolia Acid and 100 pounds of ootton seed meal, using 125 pounds of tbis mixture to the acre. Strawbkrriks and Raspbkrrirs. It is rather late to put out plants for those delicious berries, but with good plants and careful attention some fruit might be obtained the ooming spring from good plants set out now. October and November are the best months to out them out for good crops. But if little fruit can be obtained the plants would be ready for another season and xve refer to tlie subject because this is a good time to set them out. We know from expe rience that large plants of one and sound good stems of the other with fine roots put out in January and pushed by nice cultivation will bear some fruit the coming season. Try it and see. Dairy cows will not he worth keep ing in tlie winter unless well fed. One experienced in dairying, says one of the best feeds in winter is four parts of shorts, two parts of ground oats, and one part of corn meal. It never fails to secure n gooil quantity of milk and to add to tlie supply have a green field of oats or rye to crop a short while each day in the winter months. A pasture of bermuda or any other grass that withstands the winter will do as xvell. This is a case in which ensilage comes in witli much profit. Stock fed on ensillage with a moderate quantity of tlie above mix ture will be kept m fine condition in the cold months with shelter from tlie cold rains and winds. and is therefore worth more per pound where strength is required than corn or oil meal, whose chief consti tuents are carbonaceous or fat-produ cing, There are many reasons why or chards, even of the hardiest trees, should not be planted on bleak, expos ed hillsides. Every year, before the fruit lias time to ripen, it is blown off by fierce winds. Only the apples in other sheltered places hold on until regularly gathered. It is not a bad plan to have two or three rows of ev ergreen trees on the windward side of an orchard for protection. 1 f planted at the same time with tlie fruit trees, tlie evergreens will attain size enough by the time tlie orchard comes into bearing to afford suflicient wind break. And their value in retaining fallen leaves under the orchard trees will increase as the orchard grows. Asparagus.—Growing this fine vog etable from the seed is now practiced by many. It only takes a little more time. .. tag A EEMEDY NOT FOE A DAY, BUT FOE WST HALF A CENTUEY "W BELIEVING SUFFEEING HUMANITY .S.S.
