An experienced planter delights when it is at all practicable, to set the ploughs movinn during ihe month of .January, knowing as he does that, the sooner the ground is broken tip ihe better for Ihe cotton crop. The weather, however, which is a prime factor in each stage of cotton cultiva tion, does not ahvay permit an early beginning, and farmers have to content themselves with starting their plows as soon as the ground is sufficiently dry. In March or earlier or later, ac cording to the secAon—a shovel plaugh is run through the field lor the purpose of laying oil' the rows, their distance apart vary ing with the (Quality ol the soil. Thin uplands call for row- near together, sav three feel ; on bet ter lands the distance becomes four or five feet, while on very strong holloa lands the row- are from live to six feel apart. Fertilizers, which previous to Ihe close of the war were an al most unheard of thing iu cotton fields, are coming more and more in use They are not. only applied as top dressing, in composts with cotton seed, Ac., hut are scatter ed in the bottom of the first fur rows, and then a turn-plough is employed to throw in the earl i on each side of the furrow, leav ing a bed or bank about two feet, broad raised two or three inches. The ground between these beds is broken with a common shovel plough and the field is ready for the seed. In the northern parts of the cotton region, where the planting is liable to lie delayed, the seed is not infrequently rolled in some ierlilizer which will hasten its germinal ion. A mode much in vogue is soaking the seed iu salt dissolved in liquid stable manure aiid while damp rolling it in plas ter. Gottwn requires a light cover ing only, especially n damp clayey soils. Experience has proven that an immense deal of labor in alter cultivation is saved when planting is done with care, and the line of young plants in consequence is uniform and even. For three months ploughs, scra pers or cultivators are kept mov ing backwards and forwards be tween the cotton rows, and if the line of the plants is straight the coulter,or the outside tooth of Ihe cultivator, can he brought so close to the plants as to do away with much hoeing. I’atent plant ers, which open i lie furrows, plant the seed and cover them by one movement, are inlroduc ed, hut are yet not universally employed. Ilrooms that will sweep clean. A few acres of broom corn for home manufacture on farms re quiring a number of hired hands I the year round, affords romnnera ' live employment for many an employed days, both from in ! clemency of the weather and 1 other causes. It i- generally cal ! ciliated that a ton of brush will I make from 1,200 to I ,300 brooms; | the wire, handles twine, etc., average from three to live rents per broom, and a complete outfit j for making brooms can be pur i chased for about SSO. Gold, rainy l days and long winter evenings I afford oport unities for making ! tlie brooms without time from | other work. Two hands, after a little practice, will readily finish in an evening two dozen brooms. A thrifty farmer who looks to the small economies and never buys that which can be made at home.gives his method of produc ing a home made broom, which is somewhat after this fashion. When ready to go to work take as much brush as will be needed for the number of brooms to be made ; pul Hie butt ends in warm water to soak awhile. When sufficiently softened tack one end of a strong twine or wire, as the case may he. to the brootn-lian die. about three inches from its lower end. Fasten the other end of the string, which is some 2feet long, to a small round stick.upon ! which the operator steps with both his feet. I,ay on the brush ! one -talk at a time, and giv’e the | handle a turn sufficient 4*v bold! each new -talk firmly. Continue putting on and winding until three layers have been secured, pulling upward as the handle is turned, to tighten the string. Now commence another row, nearer the lower end of the han dle, and proceed as before, finish ing the third course or tier with the longest and finest brush. Wind the cord around singly a few times after the brush i- all on, and fasten the end with a car pet tack. When a broad or fiat broom is made (the popular form),more of the brush may be put upon two opposite side- t han upon the oilier portions. Then tie the two ends of wire or string ttrr right length, slip it over tli die, ta a suitable place upon tlrf broom, and sew in place wit&M large iron needle six or iuche- in length; -o\\ i Mid 111 rough I lie Ini, |B| the twine at each -I itch wV-g round the port ion you on.

Abet uethy on "The E-euteheon, or Milk Mirror, 1 ' before the Minne sota State dairymen’s Association at St. I’aul created a brisk dis cussion on this long vexed sub jecl. As usual, those farmers who had tested the matter very generally concurred in express ing the belief that the escutcheon is a good sign, and, taken m con-, nectionwith other points, valua ble in selecting a cow for milking purposes. George W. Whitney in giving his experience to the Vermont dairymen at their tenth annual session, said to the average far mer : “Do not rush oil' to purchase an extra cmv ora thorough bred animal ; hut rather rush to the cow stable and see what is being done there. Learn first the art of feeding, by practical experi meats, and by so doing you will learn the animals you now have. You may be surprised to find what great milkers von have. You may he surprised to learn how some of your cows will take on Mesh while giving a little poor milk. Test every cow's milk ; you [ may ho surprised to learn how much butter some cows will make from a small quantity of milk. Should you lind you had no good milkers, buy a thoroughbred bull, if the pedigree is rigid. It you make butter exclusively, have a pedigree for butter;if cheese, a pedigree for cheese; if beef is your object, a beef pedigree. But if the pedigree is for blood only, don't buy." The Alderney dairy fanners.in council last week at Washington discussed the prevention ol dis ease among cattle. In this talk everything known as ‘•swill,” whether brewery grains or house hold slops, wa- condemned for cow feed. Born meal, wheal bran cut hay, corn fodder and mangel wurzels, together with spring wa ter and young clover fields in season, were recommended, as was cleanliness and perfect von (Ration of stables, with strain* of fine blood in cow-. Perfume in the Air. An Italian professor in making some medical researches recently discovered that vegetable per fume exercise a positively health ful influence on the atmosphere converting it* oxygen into ozone and thereby increasing its oxidiz ing influences. Flowers destitute of perfume do not develop it, and those emitting only a faint per funic develop it, in small quanti ties. <>n the strength of thi* fact is based the encouragement of plant culture in marshy districts and in all regions infected with animal emanations. Now tfeweiM .ire ’coine considered of importance from a sanitary point of view*, it is trust el that the assistance of spade and hoe heretofore grudgingly given—when not absolutely de nied—to the “Woman's Flower Garden'' will be forthcoming with a readiness which will not onlv surprise housewives but h"nn" bud and blossom '■ ••11 ’ <■.i '<• 1 1 1 *;• and healtlifiißHH| (•nano Does Pay. t^gg rhe Washingt.on,(Ga.,) (roMS* '•outains a long list ol' menu made by Mr. John h9nH| miire. of !*('Kall) county. limiting Im'\ ond dou!)t I hcflUH |*l any ol I and.a id JK§jßlf| >inl lon ili/.oi' w -v.L !li •a.' - , -n - ■nil' inn". jnin - nil'l in 1 “ i "' !

Another better for the very sick, or for weak stem achs. Put the beef, ptepared as above, into a wide mouthed hot tie, cork it so no water can enter place it in a kettle of cold water; prop it so that it will stand firmly and boil one hour, then set the kettle aside to cool; when cold you can safely remove the bottle at. you have the simple juice or essence of beef. NkI'RAI.UIA AND RIIKI'MATiSM. Avery simple relief for neuralgia is to boil a small handful of lo India in half a pint of water till 1 he.*trenglh is out of the herb, then strain it off and add a tea spoonful of line salt. Wring cloths out of the liquid as hot as possible and spread over the part affected. It acts like a charm. Change the clot Its as soon as cold till the pain is all gone; then cover up till perspiration is over. mi as to prevent taking cold. Rheumatism can often be reliev ed by application to the painful parts of cloths wet in a weak so itition of sal soda in . water. If there is influmation in the joints the cure is very quick : the wash needs to be lukewarm. .

The seed i* equal, I think, for stock feed to the same amount of corn. I plant the cane early, sti that the molasses may be made before frost. Plant in good soil, three by 3 feet. Leave about three or four stalks in a hill and not more, for it will sucker. (Jul tivate well and keep it up till it i* out in head. Molasses to be good should not be too thick nor too thin. The maker should he prepared to make it rapidly,with a large mill and evaporator, or he cannot make the business pay.” Morris, Californio. 0.
