Remarkable Photography. One of the most charming happen¬ ings ever photographed by natural his¬ tory camerists is the birth of a but¬ terfly. Mr. Fred Knock was the pho¬ |jtrom tographer. He depicts the whole event the stage when the larva has l^plung ™twig until itself the by butterfly, a silken fully girdle develop¬ to a ed, is poised on a leaf about to make the first trial of Its wings. Mr. Enock notes that in seven minutes from th# ^butterfly ^.time that the chrysalis fully developed, first split and the was from the moment that the skin opened until the new-born beauty was poised 4 on the empty shell it emerged bo quickly that ’exposures of a hundredth of a second only were given. Great-Grandnephew of Washington. George Washington, a great-grand¬ nephew of the Immortal president, was a witness in a New York city court a few days ago. His great grandfather, William Washington, was the generaFs brother, but being a Tory left this country for England during the war of the revolution. Later he settled in Belgium, The twentieth century George does not care for the reflected glory that comes with his name, though no one has greater ven¬ eration than he for the man who was first in the hearts of his countrymen CURES RHEUMATISM AND CATARRH B.M.B.

STOCKMAN AND TF.VSX GROWER. I’lantinjr Strawberries iu (be- South. Anywhere south of the Mason and Dixon's line the strawberry may be set at any time during fall, winter or spring, provided the ground is not too wet to walk on or not actually frozen at the time. In many respects winter is the safest of all times to plant. Air and soil are then cool and moist, just the condition that the strawberry revels iu. For it is decidedly a cool weather plant, extending its root growth every day during the winter that the ground is not frozen, even though the frost keeps its leaves nipped off as fast as they peer out. The moment that the heaviest frost abates in the spring, leaf growth be¬ gins, and close on tile heels or this come the blooms. Then before most other fruit has well begun to bloom, strawberries are ripo and the average mortal is happy. Heat and drought are the great foes of the strawberry. The Southern grower avoids harm from these foes at planting time by setting plants In weather as cool or cold as practicable. We plant largely In late fall and in the dead of winter. It is the rarest thing in the* world for cold weather to do direct harm to the strawberry plant at the South. The only indirect harm it can do Is on wet soil to leave or lift the crust of the soil up by freezing. This also lifts jlie plants and loaves the roots exposed to the wind and sun when the freeze over the soil subsides to its normal level. There is no danger of this only on wet, soggy soil which keeps saturated and is therefore greatly subject to heaving when frozen. Even on this soil planting may be safely done in dead of winter provided care is taken to step directly on the plant after it Is set. This compresses the soil around it, prevents an excess of water from soaking in Just at that spot and greatly decreases the heaving effects of severe cold. But there Is a much better plan than this whenever it is practicable. That Is to put about a fork full of coarse manure evenly around and on the plants. This gives the desired protection of the soil around the plants from cold and the fertilizing properties are leached out and washed in where the roots can at once appropriate them. In fact, .his is the best way that stable manure can be applied to the strawberry plant, North or South. The coarse litter after the fertilizing properties leak out makes an excellent mulch to keep the berries clear of the grit the follow¬ ing spring. If too much manure has fallen on the plant It will be necessary to remove some of it about time growth begins in spring and leave it around and between the plants. If manure cannot be had to mulch the plants set in dead of winter on wet and soggy land, any coarse litter or straw will answer. Forest leaves do very well only that they are more liable to be blown off by high winds, and being so mifch broader they are more apt to smother the pjants. Pine straw is an ideal mulch, than which there is nothing better. The mulching directions for winter set plants which we have just given is for the North or for such soil at the South as is much given to wetness and to heaving in the coldest weather. We plant over one hundred acres every winter on ordinary soil without any protection or any precaution except to set the plants properly.—-O. W. Black nail, In the Progressive Farmer. A Land Survey Method* I would like to tell Epitomist sub¬ scribers how to survey a plat of land if any shape. Measure the boundary 9 /rV- ... ST ■/Jr’ Y y W: »■&««««* -4 R 2L=vt* * v- 7* I'.ae of the land; then draw a plat on thick cardboard exactly the shape of the piece of laud, making a proportion of sa’y one-quartef Inch to the rod. Now cut out the jolat inside of the lines and fill the space with small shot, smoothing down until they fit closely in the space. Cut out another piece of cardboard in the rectangul?'* shape and fill it with the same shot, and mark the place where they extend. Now multiply the length by the breadth and make a proportion, and you have the area of the land. The diagrams above give some explanation of what is meant by the survey.—J. J. Zuccarelle, of Campbellsville. Tenn. I’oediuc Hog* in Alabama, In a study by the Alabama Experi¬ ment Station of the relative merits of corn, eowpeas, corn and eowpeas mixed half and half, and corn and wheat bran mixed half and half the best gains and the least food con¬ sumed per pound of gain were secured with the mixture of corn and cow peas. The food required to make a pound of gain with these pigs on the different rations was as follows: Corn 4.87 pounds, eowpeas 4.81 pounds, corn and eowpeas half and half 4.33 pounds, and corn and wheat bran half and half 5.21 pounds. In these experiments the manure from the hogs fed eowpeas contained about 70 per cent, more nitrogen than that from the hogs fed corn. On an ex¬ clusive coni diet 2.3 per cent, of the weight of the liogs consisted of in¬ testinal fat, while on eowpeas but 1.1 per cent, was intestinal fat. The liver, kidneys, heart and spleen of the hogs fed on eowpeas were considerably larger than the same organs in corn fed hogs and the bones were stronger. On the whole there was a great pro¬ portion of lean meat in the hogs fed eowpeas than In the hogs fed corn. This work shows the value of mixed grains for fattening hogs and the necessity of some such nitrogenous food as eowpeas in building up healthy vigorous internal organs and a strong framework. Handling a Big; Hog. An easy way for one man to handle a large hog is by means of a three eighth inch rope ten feet long. Cut off three feet, and tie a loop in each end, as shown in cut. The remaining seven feet tie to centre of short rope n ♦ Jf ^jjSiy HOG ROPE. between the loops. Place loops over hind feet of hog and draw long rope between front feet and over nose, then back ngair; through short rope. Pull forward more over nose, then back again as before and tie. This comparatively simple method has been found quite effective and satisfactory by many farmers following it—Wil¬ liam Pdfck, in the American Agricul¬ turist. Tillage. Every farmer has noticed that plants in a seed bed grow off rapidly. Even a stalk of corn or cotton coming up in the garden grows much faster than the plants in the field. The richer soil may be one cause for the rapid growth, but the prime cause is the pulveriza¬ tion of the seed bed. The soil is full of plant food, hut if it is hard or full of clods it is not available. The tritur¬ ation of breaking up of the soil is called tillage. In a small seed bed it can be done by the rake and hand. In a field It can be done by plows and barrows. The best way to prepare land for the crop of 1903 is to break it thoroughly in December, if possible. The disc plow will do that work well. Run a disc or other harrow over it. The freezes will help in the work. But use the harrow frequently during the spring up to planting time, so that the soil will be so pulverized that all the plant food will be available. Lands thus prepared will yield twice as much as land planted without preparation. To break land in that way, and give it four harrowings, would require for each acre about two days for the plowman and his team of two horses But it would pay well for the labor. Try it on a small scale if you are afraid to prepare several acres in that style. —South CaroUna Cotton riant. Howto Grow Turnips Successfully. There Is no crop that requires higher or better culture than turnips, and the most of this culture must he given to the soil before the seed are, planted. The feeding roots are very numerous and very small, hence the soil must be very fine. The turnip requires an enormous amount of water, and hence the soil must be deeply prepared. Break your soil deep and plow and har¬ row until it is as fine as you can make it. It will pay you to do this ten or twelve times. Okra a Desirable Crop. Okra, or gumbo, is most useful foi soups, stews, etc., and is becoming more popular every year. It is a de¬ sirable fill in market crop.
