Prnfllalde Work at Home.
Where there is a will, there is
a way. The old adage is nowhere
more lute than in finding work.
The man w ho relies wholly on ent
ploymeut which others t#n give
him, makes a serious mistake. It
may be,as in thousands of install
ees it unfortunately is the fad,
that such a one will for long in
tervals he thrown out of work.
When the capitalist ceases to
make a profit, he dismisses hired
help and doses out his business.
This is what has happened to mu
ny thousands of the unemployed
to-day. It will always he so while
men rely on others for the privi
lege of labor. Some means by
which the mass of men may at
least partially employ themselves
is the only practical remedy.—
Whoever has a home, he it never
so humble, has received the first
means to an honorable indepen
deuce. There is always some
thing to he done to promote the
convenience and comfort of the
home, and, in the absence of any
work giving money remuneration,
making the home more pleasant
and comfortable is the best pac
ing job which any man can under
take. It is a dg:i of shiftless
ness, if not worse, to see men idle
while a day’s work might well be
expended in battening door and
windows, and other useful things,
against winter’s rude blasts oi
summer’s intense heat, or in pro
viding some simple conveniences
long needed by the good house
wife to lighten her work, or in
white-washing, cleansing, etc. for
the general good of all
Southern Com]>etitioii hi Butter.
Have all the natural law ; been
i t versed? Mississippi competing
with the “dairy belt” in butter!
What will the favored dairy re
gion do about it ? Here comes
W. B Montgomery, of Starkville,
Miss., boldly into the market ol
jour intellectual “hub”—Boston
—and offers bis. Jersey butter to
{ the blue bloods. Did assurance
| ever go further? Well, Ihe Bo
| ton dealer in “gilt-edge” butter,
j with a deep 'hade of incredulity,
jopens a package and take- a
| smell,when his face, slightly clears
up; at a taste, his incredulity dis
appears; and he coolly remarks
“Flavor excellent. You don’t say
this was made in that frying pan
State of Mississippi, wln-re grass,
won’t grow?” “Certainly made
there, and on the best of grass.”
i “Possible? Well, that’s the kind
we want; we will give you a good
figure for all you can make of that
sort.” How often our wise theo
lies come to nought. This how
ever, is only a realization of what
we have contended for for some
! years. First, the West proved the
• dairy' belt” theory quite lalla
i cious, and now latitude 33 deg.
demonstrates its capacity to com
pete with the favored region.
It is not improbable that pro
filable dairies may be estaldi bed
in various parts of the South for
the production of winter grass
butter. The ucculenl grasses
produce a flavor which it i ilifli
| cult to attain with dry food, and
then it is fresh, which, of itself,
i gives it a preference. Winter
butter, made in the he .I manner,
i even without green food, ell
more readily, and at a higher fig
: ure, than butter made otne
months before. It fresh, new
flavor gain? it tlte market. Well,
we wish abundant success to all
Southern butter makers,and trust
j they may make their land to flow
with milk, as it ha- heretofore
I “with honey” and cotton. —Na

Cotton Seed Oii
Cotton seed oil lias, for some
I time past, figured couspicuosl v a
• mong our prominent article? of
commerce, on account of the vai
i uable iiset it i made to serve.
The cake in exported largely, and
the refined oil is growing in iin
portance as a substitute fur palm
'oil for saponareou purpose; in
this country and abroad ; and in
addition to this it is, shipped in
considerable quantities to -Medi
terraneun peits and. after a little
dortering. re shipped here a the
olive oil of commerce lo no little
extent. Numerous unsuccessful
attempts have been made to give
Ihe oil the necessary qualities as
a drying oil lur painter's use, hut
nevertheless, experiments have
continued, and now a party resi
, ding al I'apleyille, near .Memphis,
announces that ihe desideratum
I lias been reached.
He states Dial he lias discover
ed a comparatively nonexpeic ive
| operation In which the cotton
| seed oil can he made equal In tin
| seed oil for this purpose, and cites
an instance where a house was
painted, some eight months ago,
with cotton seed oil, as a snbsti
lute for linseed nil, on which the
paint is as bright now as on the
day it was applied. The process
discovered makes the cotton seed
oil a dry oil for house painting
that i- said to have no superior.
H now icinain have a trial ®f
it in the'different climates, and,
in event of its success, cotton
j planter.- w ill tind a material addi
tion to the value of their seed,
while to consumers there will no
doubt be a considerable saving,
as a very heavy duty lias to he
paid on Calcutta linseed oil, from
which I lie best grades of linseed
oil are crushed. The greatest
saving, however will be in the
Southern States, as large sums
are spent annually in our North
ern markets for linseed oil for use
in that quarter. Then there is a
possibility for further outlet.
Large quantities of linseed are
exported Lorn this country, and
if cotton seed oil can he made of
de-irable quality, the cheapness
of price will do the rest —A 7 . V.

Information for Cotton Growers.
In examining cotton don’t al
low yourselves to be deceived by
a fine growth. If more than one
kind of cotton is planted, find
out which grow? it? limbs closest
together on the stalk, and forms
closest on the limbs. Figs are
not gathered from thistles, neitii
er is cotton gathered from stalk
or teat, but from bolls.
It is a liberal bolting cotton von
want, and not liberal grower, i
will try to demonstrate this ; Your
land contains a sufficient quanti
ly ol the chemical elements to
grow a certain quantity of vege
table matter. Now if the elements
are exhaii led, or nearly so, in
making weed, there must neces
saril.v follow a dearth ol fruit.
Per contra, if only a reasonable
portion of tlie-e elements are ta
ken up by a medium growth, the
large balance left goes towards
making and fully developing
fruit. You ma\*fhink this can
not be controlled. My experience
tell: me that it can lie by proper
manuring and careful election of
seed. By careful selection for
several years I have succeeded in
developing a cotton that matured
almost to tin- last form upon land
that gave me a yield (the same
year) of two bales to the acre. I
mention the yield to show the
land was in good life. I'poii .ucli
land cotton ordinarily is expect
ed to grew until checked by fins I,
When llii i the case, of course
a very large part of the forms
(which make a- long staple as
the cotton continue to grow) are

not derived the full benefit of the

f arming in Ancient Times.
Our civilization is
| vastly in advance of any other
period in the world’s history, par
tieularly as science and agricul
lure are supposed to far excel the
efforts of ancient nations ; yet tin*
archives of India reveal a condi
tion of Christianity, calculated to
show this an overrated age in
som“ respects contrasted with t lie
acheivements of remote antiqui
ty. for example, the encourage
ment given to agriculture, the re
sults of careful culture and agri
cultural shows and ploughing
matches, were far more imposing,
even in China, thousand of years
ago, than they are in England or
the United States in our times.—
Six hundred and twenty three
year: before our era commenced,
1 there was a ploughing festival at
lor near Raja Yaba, on the hol
ders of Nepaul, at which a weal
thy Bralunin had 1,000 oxen gay
ly ornamented, 500 ploughs tipp
ed with gold, and 500 ploughmen
in splendid costume, encouraged
and admired by an immense as
semblage of wondering specta
tors. Buddha was present and
made a speech, that being the be
ginning of hi: mission.
This allusion to ploughing mat
dies at so remote a period natu
rally lead to a discussion in the
meeting of the New York Farm
ers’Clnb on ancient and modern
ploughs, in which several mem
bers participated. Doctor Meath
made some remarks about the
farming of the Romans before the
Christian era, and thought we had
: lost many things the ancients
knew about agriculture as well as
other matters. He spoke o! the
Chinese as having so managed as
jto maintain the fertility of the
| soil they cultivated foi thousands
i of years.
Practical Ideas.
Tile best thing to do w ith cobs,
Hay? a correspondent of the Prar
I ticat Farmery is to burn them to
a nice charcoal, pulverize, stir in
a little sail and teed to hogs.
They will eat the mixture “very
readily,” and he is sure it helps
to keep them in- 1 good, healthv
condition.”
There is no difficulty in having;
a flower garden—a few moments
each day will keep it in order, if
not too large; and even a lew
squar feet of land planted with a
I good selection of flowers, all of
which can be secured at trifling
cot, will give flower every day
from early pring ufitil late au
tumn and will also be a constant
source of pleasure.
