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 tional Tree St>>t \ .Tournui 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. Bulhi t li . 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 lo t , and consequently yon have not derived the full benefit of the chemical element your land con tains—AV. lit uni Staggers. t urn the tail ol Hie utfeier over In hack, and with a sharp knife cut. aero from hair to hair to the hone in the tail, about three inches from the fundament, and he will lie well in a few hour-.” 1 lost a mute and horse on one of niv places, -ent a third one there, which was brought to me with staggers I had it examin ed by a party I thought a judge of horses. lie advised me to car ry it oft ti prevent hauling him oti dead Iliad if carried with difficulty to the pa lure.

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. li i stated in a German paper that the purity of milk may he tested by the following very im pie. method : A well-polisherk knitting needle i? dipped into ifl deep vessel of milk and immedi I ately withdrawn in an upright) position ; when if the sample lie pure, some of the fluid will he found to adhere to it, while such |is not 1 lie ca c e if water liars been 1 added to Hie milk, even in the smallest proportions.
