A great deal of advice is given to farmers in the public press advising them to make less cotton which they very properly do not follow. They must have money, and cotton is their great money crop to save them from litter prostration. We have, with dpe modesty, occasionally, tendered our advice, but we have not expressed the opinion that it would be well for them to diminish their number of bales. We would be glad to see them in crease the number from year to year, Tiie demand for cotton will never grow less, but on the other hand, It will constantly increase. What we have ventured to suggest, from time to time, was to use fewer acres and make more than they do. We have published various instances in which it was shown that cultivators of cot ton made a bale, or more, to the acre. We have been cognizant of the fact that farmers have devoted as many as twenty acres to cotton re sulting in securing only five bales or less from that quantity of land. In deed. we have known instances in which not more than three bules were obtained from twenty-five acres. The great trouble, with many, lias been laborious work on too many lit res of poor land. It would not bo a difficult mutter to make a bale to the acre with a great diminution of labor and expense. The true policy, it seems to us, is to use few acres and make a bale to the acre, or at any rate a bale to every two acres. The number ot bales would be vastly in creased if a cotton crop would make half a bale to the acre, and many thousands of dollars would be saved in diminished cost of cultivation. Every farmer knows how hard he has to work, and often, how grassy his crop becomes from the great length of time it takes to get over liis large number of acres. Many farm ers pitch their crops on too large a scale for tlie force at their command, and they are bowed down under the result, with family expenses to meet, with the addition of the cunning tariff tux they have to meet to add to the wealth of the grasping manufactur er. If a man has already pitched his crop on a scale that will tax every en ergy of his horse and himself, no mat ter whether the lund is well manured or not, it would be to his interest to cut off as many acres as will enable Lim to well plough and hoe the bal ance in eight or ten days, instead of double that time. This is our view and we give it for what it is worth. MV merely add that this policy will enable every farmer to make as much corn, wheat, oats and provender, as he will need for his household and his stock, and his smoke house will be amply supplied with merit and his dairy’with milk and butter. This is the way to get rid of mortgages and a dependence upon factors for sup plies. - Chii KKN Pik.—Thechickens should be parboiled, and all the meat taken from the bones; put Into the dish al ternately oysters and chicken; season the liquor left from the chickens with celery or parsley, and a bit of nice butter rolled in flour. If made with out paste, it must be filled with the liquor; but if in a raised crust, the liquor must be strained and added cold as jelly, by the addition of gela tine. or caif's foot boiled up with it. Many persons think that corn is the best food for poultry. So it is if you J do not wish eggs. The cost of importing well-bred sheep from England, in lots of 10 head or more, is estimated at about ,*15 per head, • It is said that “cattle-raising for beef, butter, and cheese is the lop- most round of the ladder tin* zenith of agriculture.^ Fowls that must be fed in summer should be fed regularly. If fed only twice a day, feed lightly in the morn ing and give a full feed at night. If fed but once a day, feed at night. The fence question is one of great importance, as we have In the United States 0,(MX),000 miles of fences, which have cost nearly $ 1,900,000,000 and have to be renewed every fifteen years. Several years since a gardener dis covered that by planting squash seeds in earth that had a layer of coal ashes above and below it the vines were not molested by cut worms. Vkal Salad.—Remove all the gris tle and sinews from the cold meat, chop it very fine and add equal quan tity of lettuce; put on the salad dress ing just before sending it to table. The veal must first be boiled. The farmer who has a good borne or two to turn into money every yenr is one of a class of men who are con sidered thrifty and frugal. There is more clear money in raising good horses, if the raising is done judicious ly, than in the production of any oth er kind of livestock.—National Stock- man and Farmer. It Is common for farmers who have a number of cows to dry them off af ter eight, ten or at most twelve months of the greatest flow of milk has passed. This is good policy for those thus situated, as a cow giving only three to five or six quarts daily is worth more to fatten than to keep for what milk she will give. But for a small family, where but little milk or butter is required, a good farrow cow may prove a desirable requisition. A really good cow may be milked two years, or even three or four, with careful management, and give nearly a constant mess during that time." It is the drain on the cow from the calf ehe is carrying that necessa rily shortens the milking period, however good the feeding.

Henry. Tlie bfest veterinarians discourage the feeding of partially decayed po tatoes, turnips, cabbage leaves and all similar substances to stock of any kind. There is no economy in the practice, for the nutritive properties are destroyed by decay. Not only that, but there is a liability of pois oning the system or producing indi gestion to such an extent as to result in colic or diarrhoea, and in case of cows with calf there is danger of pro ducing abortion. It is far better to pick up the decayed roots and vege tables and burn or bury* them than to suffer the cattle to eat such garb age. irniral and Southwestern Kallroads.
