SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME. < utton C'tiltiiro by Xortlici-n Mh-lliwtls While on . recent trip up the country to attend a meeting of the Stock Breed ers’ Association of Mississippi, I learned from a prominent Mississippian that some men from Kansas had made a de cided sensation in the locality where they had settled by their mode of rais ing corn and cotton! I therefore visited Major Young, near Columbus, Miss., to get some points. The plantations of these Kansasians joins that of this gentle man. The former are under his control and that of an associate. With great liberality, Major Young has leased them 2b acres for a year, free of rent. He then rented them a number of acres each, at the usual rent of such land ed per acre, per annum. There are three men, father, son and son-in-law. The father and son-in-law have their wives with them. This year the son-in-law, Mr. Evans, not wishing to over-crop himself, planted 25 acres in corn, 16 acres in cotton, and 5$ acres of oats. The usual plant of a colored man is 10 acres in cotton and 5 corn, and they do not half till that. He planted his corn in the latter part of March. He began to plant cotton April 14th. He was very late, starting disad vantageously in not having quite the implements he wanted, and in having a very late and wet spring. He cultivated his corn and cotton with walking culti vators, and left the ground nearly' level. There was a very severe drouth, and he made a bad mistake once in cultivating his corn too deep—cutting off the roots next the side where he last worked it. I heard several planters say that, at one time, his corn was the most beautiful looking crop they had ever seen ; but the six weeks’ drouth, and particularly the fast working, injured it fearfully. Rv starting so late with his cotton, he was injured greatly by the boll-worm, and by the very wet August. He and his father told me that each expect ed to make about a thousand dollars clean money. They figured about ’this way: Twelve bales of cotton at S4O per bale, $480; 1,200 bushels of corn, at 50c per bushel, SOOO, and 250 bushels of oats at 50c, $125, making a total of $1,205. Nothing is allowed for poultry, butter, hogs, etc. The actual result will l>e about as follows: Nine bales of cotton, at S4O per bale, $360; 500 bushels of corn, at 50c per bushel, $250, and 150 bushels ot oats at 50c, $75, making the total $735. He had paid sls for all work up to October sth; but as he has worked some outside, lie will probably come out about even, lie says he sees his mistake, and by another year, under the same con ditions, could excel this year’s crops. But as he may not in a life time have such a long dry spell, and need not start so late, he will have far better chances. He is greatly pleased and proposes to have for next year’s crop 60 acres—3B acres in cotton and 22 in corn. He says that he can attend it. He intends to plant in checks, and expects to raise a bale to an acre. 1 hope lie may, but it looks too sanguine. However, one gentleman near Aberdeen, Miss., has raised from 2to 21 lmlespov ete by planting in checks, dig ging holes and fertilizing well, and piling the elay about the base of the stalk so as to keep down the grass. If Mr. Evans should raise a bale to the acre lie will get a good deal of money. His father-in-law, Mr. Kilmer, had 16 acres of cotton, of corn and 3 of oats, lie and his young son tilled these. The father is considerably past hard work. They paid $8 for work. They will make about the same crop as the first men tioned gentleman. I nearly forgot to say that when their cotton was just fairly up, they dragged it across the rows, much to the astonishment of one planter, who said they would ruin it. But this harrowing, almost every one says, was beneficial, as it made the earth very mellow for the tender roots of the young cotton. These men plow with a big plow —1 forget their favorite —and use riding plows and walking cul tivators. These are being introduced into the neighborhood where they live, and many people are watching them and propose to imitate them. Indeed, I verily believe that I seethe unmistakable signs of a revolution in that cotton culture. Many people have been to see their work. They all admire it; say it was never equaled, and that they intend to imitate it. Several, years ago, the late Dr. M. L. Dunlap of the Chicago Weekly Tri bune, when on a visit here, told me that he thought level culture of cotton, with the cultivators in vogue in the prairies west, would be better than the Southern style. The work of these Kansas men is a verification of his judgment. Finding that they were so well pleased in every way, I wanted to learn what they thought of the country and what aspects most struck them. The old gen tleman was a rapid and good talker, and I had to take my notes very roughly, but here are the most salient contrasts: He likes the climate and soil better than any country he has ever seen ; thinks it a fine country for grass-growing and raising stock ; thinks it a better corn country than any other, and the corn is better in quality; thinks it better for oats than any state except New York. I told him that there had been over 100 bushels raised to the acre in Mississippi, which rather staggered him. He thinks it delightful for breezes, and not as hot as in more northern states; likes the nights in summer ; climate all right; no insect pests except the boll-worm; no house-flies here compared to the north ; hardly any mosquitoes here ; no fleas; no flies to trouble stock ; no nets needed for horses; never has seen a fly yet on a cow when milking her ; thinks he can make more off 10 acres here than 80 elsewhere ; had had one chill; all the rest of the family have been perfectly healthy. (He had many chills in the northwest.)* These, in a rough way, give his im pressions, and are of interest to me par ticularly, as corroborative of what I have said about the country as to health, fer tility of soil, exemption from insects, etc., in my letters and talks. These men are delighted with their experience ; with the climate, soil and people. Seeing they were so p'easantly impressed with everything, I told them they had better go over to Starkville; so they, with the Messrs. Young, went over, and saw grass to their heart’s content at the Jersey stock farm of Col. W. 11. Montgomery; ] and now they add to their other favora ble impressions, that grass and thorough bred stock can be raised. I am looking to see a good many poor but industrious men come down and fol low the example of these Kansas emi grants. I have not before advocated cot ton-raising, but when it is such a success as above, let us have down here the bone and sinew of the north and east, who can make from S6OO to SI,OOO clear money for a season’s work.—[Country Gentle man INI. B. H, Mobile, Ala. FIU'IT. The White t.r.ipcs, A large number of the native “white,” or rather light green grapes were ex hibited at the time of the meeting of the American Bornological Society at Rochester, and were examined side by side, by a number of the prominent fruit growers. Among these sort were the Duchess, Brentiss, Lady, Allen’s Hybrid, Niagara, Rebecca and some others. Sev eral expressed surprise at the similarity of flavor possessed by all, or rather at the equal degree of merit in each, on tasting side by side. The Duchess ranked among the best in quality, the Prentiss attracted much attention on account of its sweet and delicate flavor, and the Ni agara for a combination of desirable qualities, including its large bunch and showy appearance, and its tine flavor, in which, however, it was hardly equal to some of the others. The Pocklington was very attrictive for its large, showy bunches, and it was of fair quality. None of these, however, are quite equal to the Croton in quality, although all ex ceed it for strong growth and freedom from mildew. The rear might. An orchard at Union Springs contained about 600 bearing trees, and a few hun dred smaller ones; it was from ten to fif teen years old aud had borne some profit able crops, when three years ago it was visited with the blight. The dead limbs resulting from this disease were sawn off and drawn out. A two horse wagon with a common hay rack was used, and it was well filled ten times in drawing out the blighted branches. Some of the trees, probably a twelfth, perished entirely. A much larger number wore more or less mutilated. About one-third of the en tire growth of branches was destroyed. Before this period, not a vestige of the blight had appeared, and some kind friends remarked,“your locality is certain ly proof against blight, and you need not fear it.” The uniform answer was, “It will be sure to come some time.” The year following its first deadly appearance, the disease had much diminished; last year but little appeared ; this year none at all. The trees are rapidly recovering their lost branches, and this year they loaded with excellent fruit. It may be many years before it makes another sweep through orchards. Many remedies have been tried, and with su perficial observers those which happened to beappled just before the disease passed off’, have the credit of being a certain cure. “One thing I have found out about pear treoe,” said an enthusistie horticul turist to us recently, “is that they are always thirsty. It would surprise you to see how much watering a pear tree will stand.” Well, most trees, plants, and everything that grows in the soil, needs water. “Yes, but I know that a pear tree when it is hearing fruit demands a great deal of water; I have grown pears for many years, but never became so fully satisfied of their actual need for water as this season. I have watered some of the trees in my garden with liquid manure, every day this summer and fall, and you ought to see how the fruit increased in size and quality. Oh, yes, that liquid manure” or water from the house sewer and the chamber slopes, tells the story! Pear trees will never get tired of this, we are sure. Room tor t.rnpcvinos. We have often urged the importance of allowing space for strong-growing native vines. We observe an additional proof of its advantage in an address of Presi dent Burnet of the Ontario Fruit-Grow ers’ Association, Canada. He states that W. Haskins, of Hamilton, attached a wire from the pole sustaining his vine to the chimney oi his cottage, and trained to the wire. Enormous crops of Rogers’ 15 were the consequence. The sparse bearer of the shortened method thus was made to yield mast profusely when al- 1 y development. on St raw berries. In reply to the inquiry of F. S. C., regarding gypsum or " land plas ter as a fertilizer for strawberries, my ex perience has been that it is a detriment. I have known of fine beds of garden strawberries being blasted by the use of plaster in the carden. It is used about here on fields where parties wish to run out the fields or wild strawberries with suc cess. M. H. R. Litchfield County, Conn. POI’I.TRY. To Keep Fouls Faying.' In order to keep your fowls laying in winter it is necessary to give them plenty of food, fresh water and good warm quar ters in which to roost, and they will pay for this trouble. If not attended to right, you will get but few eggs in cold weather. Clean II rood in a. Some years since during the extreme furore of poultry keeping a breeder was thought to be hardly wo. th notice who kept but one breed. The prevailing sen timent among fanciers then was that each one must keep at least half a dozen breeds and the ability of standing as a breeder depended upon the number of varieties he kept and advertised. Be ginners were slow to appreciate the cau tions given by more exj>erienced men, and would not be with less than three, five, eight or a dozen breeds. These ambitious fellows always came to grief; they undertook mo-e than they could accomplish, but they would not learn the lesson in no other school but that of experience. For the beginner one breed is enough. Let him take the one he thinks will last suit his purpose, give it good treatment, and if he is dissatisfied with the results he can take another, but only one breed at a time. This advice costs notllifig and if heeded may save much heedless trouble and loss. —[Southern Poultry Journal. llow the English Feed. (tendon Correspondence San Francisco Herald.] They eat more meals per diem in England than in America. There is breakfast, lunch at 1, dinner at 5 or 6 p. m., and supper at half-past 9or 10. In some families there is a light tea between 3 and 4in the afternooh. The first time I saw a late supper, consisting of a “joint,” vegetables and beer, I was un easy, thinking it all extra trouble on my account. Fortunately I delayed all re marks to that effect, and in due time discovered it to be the custom. Between 10 and 12 at night in London you may see hundreds of children, plate in one hand and pitcher in the other, scudding about the streets. They are after the family’s late supper of hot fried fish, fried potatoes and beer. The fish and potatoes are bought frying hot at public Kitchens. Two pence will buy of these a hearty meal for one, a penny, or three ha’pence more for beer fills the bill. The “ ham and beef ” shops sell as low as five cents worth of cooked meats, toast or boiled, and from a cent’s worth of vegetables upward. Very good meat they have, too, and very nicely they cook it. These public kitchens .h Lon don, and there are thousands of them, supply the poor with a dozen staple arti cles of cooked food much cheaper than they can buy or cook it at home. Give a London beggar a penny, and he can buy a bowl of good soup and a good-sized Jtiece of bread—enough, on a pinch, to ast him a day. Give a New York beg gar two cents, and what can he buy ? Yet our is a land of plenty. Every American at first deems the late English supper the sure road to dyspepsia. Yet there is far less dyspepsia in England than in America, and the late supper is universal. I adopted late suppers and I gained fiesh, and have imported the practice and kept it up ever since. I think there is as much harm going to bed starved as going with a full stomach. An animal will, after eating heartily, lie down and sleep, and I can’t see why ive should not have the same digestive rights as ihe animal. My theory regard ing the origin of American dyspepsia is that it comes either from not eating enough, or going hungry too many hours, and then piling great quantities of food on an empty and exhausted stomach. An American family, after the lightest of 6 o’clock “teas,” will re* main up sometimes until 10 or 11 with out eating. Then, on retiring, some starved member, Avhose empty stomach has been gnawing itself for an hour or tAVO, Avill surreptitiously invade the pan try, and running from one extreme to another, as people always do Avhen any appetite is unduly repressed, gorge on pie, cake, cold meat and vegetables. He or she sees all the imps, big and little, of the infernal regions during the night. Tlie Condemned Nihilists. Th e Pall Mall Gazette says that a letter has been printed, signed “Arthur Csesar, Surgeon,” which throws a little more light upon the middle passage of the Nihilists through the Red Sea. It is noAv assorted by the Russian authorities, d confirmed by the Daily News, that tmLf of these Avretched people died and Sagkalien, though four wore unfortunately smitten with ophthalmia. It is true that it is rather hot in the Red Sea during the month of July, but then Russians are accustomed to beat; true also thv there can have been but little air Avith the hatches bat tened doAvn over 600 or 700 people, but then Russians tk/ not want much air. Mr. Caesar he saw the A'essel at Port Said, TMe thermometer was then one hundred and tAvo degrees in the shade. The vere never allowed upon deck for any wtrpose, and special arrangements were l ade to obviate the necessity of giving them a breath of fresh air on deck. He saw them push ing one another’s pale faces away from the narroAV port-holes to which they croAvded. In short, every precaution was taken to secure as large a mortality as possible on the voyage; and in the opinion of this observer, as of every other independent man Avho has heard of the conditions under which these untried political offenders Avere shipped, “a vast number of the prisoners Avould die ere they reached their destination.” No slaver in the old days could have afforded to run the risk of the survival of so feAV; for the trip could not possibly have paid. Whenever an opportunity offered, the negroes Avere at least compelled to dance on deck.

Per* sons of a rheumatic tendency find Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters a useful remedy, nor do they encounter the risk in using it they do from re sorting to that active poison Colchicnm, which is often employed to arrest the malady. The use of the Bitters is equally as effective in its results, and is attended with no risk. There is ample testimony to prove that the medicine possesses blood depurating quads tiesof no common order, be tides tho-e of a tonic and general alterative. It stimulates the action of the kidneys and promotes the re moval from the system of impurities which develop disease and are fraught with serious danger.
