A Model Farmer
A thousand acres of arable land in
one body makes a pretty large farm
in a New England state, but that is
the size of the farm owned and mam
aged by Mr. L. B. Harris, of Caledo¬
nia county, Vt. He has put in as
high as sixty tons of bay in a single
day. He begins, in that northern sec¬
tion, the middle of June, and has the
first crop all in before the 1st of Ju¬
ly. The second crop is also cut when
very young and tender. lie buys lit¬
tle or no grain for his stock, but rais¬
es oats, wheat and corn to feed at
home. He can grow oats for twenty
cents per bushel, and thinks highly
of wheat as a feeding grain for cat¬
tle. Turnips are also largely raised,
and after tilling all available cellar
room largo quantites are stored in
pits in the field.
lie has 100 breeding cows, Ilerei
fords, Devons and Polled Angus, and
will begin a herd of Shorthorns next
year, llis cattle on the state fair
grounds at Burlington were valued
at 100,000 for the herd, quite a risk
for one man to take in carrying to
and from and showing at a fair. His
sales are all in the state of Oregon.
We asked him why he did not re¬
move his large cattle raising business
to the west, where others claim to be
doing so well at the business. His
answer was, and it should encourage
eastern farmers, that if lie were pro¬
posing to do as large a business as
the western ranchmen are doing lie
would choose Vermont lands to do
it on. Out byst limestone lands are
equal to the best in Kentucky, while
our climate favors, or rather insures,
better constitutions.
lie says one of his neighbors con¬
tends that as many head of cattle
should he wintered by every cattle
feeder as his farm produces of half
tons of hay. Straw, turnips and grain
should be the chief forage, while the
half ton of hay should work in as a
condiment or relish. New England
farmers, and American farmers gen
orally, have much yet to learn re¬
garding the possible uses and value
of straw for feeding heel’ producing
cattle. Mr. Harris is very systematic
in all his farming business, keeping
as accurate a set of farm accounts as
if lie were running a hank. His ani¬
mals are fed and all the work about
the stables is done with the precision
of clock-work, lie loves fanning, be¬
lieves in it as a business, and his boys
are growing up with similar ideas
and feelings.—New England Farrn
er.
Capt. Tom Langston, who is one
of Atlanta’s most enthusiastic sports¬
men, says: “Did you ever notice a
hawk or an owl preparing to make a
meal on a bird? Well, if you have
not not, I have, and the difference
m their methods is very great. A
hawk will first pick all the feathers
off the bird and then tear it to pieces,
as it is devoured. lie goes at it in
a very systematic and dainty man¬
ner. Not so with an owl. After
killing a bird the owl swallows it
whole, feathers and all. He then sits
quietly, and in an hour or so you
will see the owl move his neck about
as if he xvas trying to untangle a
knot in it. Then lie will sort of
hump up Ins back, lower his head,
and the next moment a ball of feath¬
ers will roll ofit of liis mouth. The
operation shows feathers that the owl divests
the bird of its after swallow¬
ing it, while the hawk plucks out
every feather and quill before he
takes a bite.

The Tax collectors continue to
send in tho State taxes slowly. At
this time last year the State Treasur¬
er had received $77,380,22. The
amount received this year is $54,454,-
76. This gives a balance of $22,925-
50 in; favor of last year. The reason
assigned by the collectors for the
tardy returns is that they are not
permitted to levy upon the property
of delinquents until Dec. 20. This
fact causes tax payers to delay to
make their payments. One collector
made his entire first round and fail¬
ed to collect a cent. He was told
that he would have to wait until just
before Dec. 20,
CHEAPER GROCERIES.
COMPETITION r.RINGS THE PRICES
DOWN TO ACTUAL COST.
Savannah Morniny News.
Some of the grocers are beginning
to think that the future lias a hard
winter waiting foi them. The cause
of it is to be competition. Three or
four first-class groceries have been
opened this fall, and two or three
more will soon be opened. v7hen
they Arc all running the first-class
groceries will be increased about
seven. The old grocers say that the
bus,j|jj|^is fu« iV.'fc too not complaining, crowded. Heads though, of
•
.
foi the bills are falling off in amount.
In order to hold their trade the old
grocers are cutting down prices, or
at least some of them are. The ad
vertising columns of the News show
big reductions in some cases. Sugars,
for instance, are offered at actual
cost, if not lower even. A sugar
that sold for 8.1c. per pound a month
or two ago, can be bought now for
6 2-3c. Tomattoes that cost 83c.
per dozen by the case are offered at
7c. a can. Similar reductions have
been made in the prices of other
groceries.
One of the trade who is spoken of
as a live, pushing grocer, remarked
yesterday: “I do not see anything
else to do hut to sell cheaper. We
have been making good fair profits
on our trade, I must admit, and that
is what has encouraged so many new
firms to start in the business, The
passbook trade of course will not
change much, but as we must try to
hold on to the floating cash trade
which goes from one store to anoth¬
er, buying only where the best bar¬
gains seem to he offered, To hold
that inducement in the shape of bed
rock prices, is about the only thing
thing that is apt to be effective. It
is doubtful whether there is trade
enough in Savannah to support all
the stores in the business. Certainly
there has not been a proportionate
increase* in the city’s population —
Every new store draws something
away from tile rest of us. To run
out the new houses the old ones must
either sell lower or adulterate. I
prefer to take the former course.”
From conversations with grocers
it appears that they have been aver¬
aging a profit of something like 30
per cent. That lias attracted others
into the business, and the indications
iust now aroAhat the profits will fall
off largely fora time at least.

The destitution and suffering that
has resulted from the protracted
drought in Texas is exciting the sym¬
pathy and appealing to the chavita*
hly inclined everywhere. A section
of the Lone Star State COO miles
long and 400 miles wide was for fif¬
teen months, from June, 1885, to
August, 1886, without rainfall
enough to quench human thirst, to
say nothing of nourishing tho crops,
and many of the inhabitants are with¬
out food save what is sent to thorn
from other States. To make the af
flclion doubly severe, says the Phil¬
adelphia Times, there is no seed grain
in the desolate section with which to
provide for future crops, and Sobn
Broff^f, a leading citizen of Albany,
Texas, has come North as tho repre¬
sentative of a committee who have
undertaken to supply their unfortun¬
ate fellow-farmers and ' neighbors
with seed to start anew and lay the'
foundation' of crops for next'year.

WARNED OF DEATH.
a mother’s fatal premonition ful¬
filled TO THE LETTER.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Ordinarily the thief-like approach
of death is entirely unannounced,
and, to its victim, unlookcd for; but
frequent cases of persons having a
presentment of theii departure are
met with. Such was the case with
Mrs. John Bonner, who died on Sat¬
urday evening, and will be buried
to-day at Edwardsville, Ill. The de¬
ceased lady was born on November
15, 1795, and consequently will he
buried on what would have been her
ninty-first birthday. She was the
mother of Benjamin R. Bonner, ice
dealer, and William C. Bonner, train
usher, both of this city, and resided
with her third and remaining son, S.
O. Bonner, deputy sheriff, at Ed¬
wardsville. About five weeks ago
Benjamin and William visited their
mother, who was then enjoying ex*
cellcnt health for one of her years.
On taking their leave of her they
said that they both had decided to
have an anniversary dinner with her
on her appicaching birthday. The
old lady then said: “No, Ben, in¬
stead of a dinner it will be a funer¬
al.” Nothing more was thought of
it until about two weeks ago, when
she took ill, and being literally worn
out, faded away fast. True to her
u ords, her sons will attend her fu
ncal instead of meeting under the
parental roof for filial congratula¬
tion and to receive a mother’# bless¬
ing
Mrs. Bonner was horn in North
Carolina and removed to Edwards'
ville in 1816. Her husband was a
nativo ef Virginia, hut had removed
to Edwardsville about the same tune
thot bis wife, then Mary Randall,
did. She survived him a little over
seven years, although he was her ju¬
nior by ten years. They had only 4
children 3”of whom are living. Sev¬
eral grandchildren and eight great
grandchildren of Mrs. Bonner’s are
also living to mourn the agsenee of
the kindly old face.

and library.
Teach her to say “No,” and mean
it, or “Yes,” and stick to it.
Teach her how to wear a calico
dress, and to wear it like a queen.
Teach he inflow to sew on buttons,
darn stockings and mend gloves.

and habits, and not money, in sslect
ing her associates.
'Teach her to observe the old rule:
“A place for everything, and every¬
thing in its place.”

painting are leal accomplishments in
the home, and are not to he neglect¬
ed if there be time and money for
their use.
Teach her the important truism.
“That the more she lives within her
income the more sho will save, and
the further she will get away from
the poor house.” V
Teach her that a good steady,
church-goir.g mechanic, farmer,clerk
or teacher without a cent is worth
more than forty loafers or non-pro¬
ducers in broadcloth.
Teach her to embrace every op¬
portunity for reading, and to select
such hooks as will give her the most
useful and practical information in
order to make the best progress in
earlier as well [as later liomo^ and
school life.
Fortunes in Sugar Culture,
Prof. Wiley, the Chemist of the
Agricultural Department, who is at
Fort Scott, Kan., testing the diffu¬
sion process of extracting the juice
from sugar and sorghum cane, sent
a dispatch to the department on Mon¬
day which is of great interest to su¬
gar and sorghum growers. He states
that he has succeeded in getting 134
pounds of sugar from a ton of Louis¬
iana cane, and expects to got 80
pounds from sorghum cane grown in
Kansas. The importance of this in¬
formation will be understood when
it is stated that the Louisiana plan¬
ters have never been able to get
more than 80 pounds from the best
sugar cane by the method which
they use.
At present they press the juice
from the cane by powerful machin¬
ery. By the diffusion process the
juice is soaked out. If as good re¬
sults can he obtained by the diffus¬
ion process as Prof. Wiley’s experi¬
ments indicate, sugar culture will re¬
ceive an immense impetus in this
country. If the sugar planters of
Louisiana and Florida can get a third
more sugar from their cane than they
do at present, the road to wealth is
open to them, even at the present
low prices of sugar. There are hun¬
dreds of thousands of acres of good
sugar lands in the above named
States which will he planted in sugar
'•anc at, once, if the diffusion process
in actual practice can be made to
yield the result which Pro. Wiley
h is obtained by his experiments. Not
only will sugar cane bo cultivated
much more extensively than at pres¬
ent, hut attention of farmers all ov¬
er the country will be turned toward
the cultivation of sorghum. By the
pressure process only about 40
pounds of sugar is obtained from a
ton of sorghum cane. If 80 pounds
can be obtained there is a big mar.
gm for profit. Assuming that the
diffusion process will give the result
now claimed for it, is it too much to
hope that within the next ten years
the sugar produced in this country
will he almost sufficient to supply its
demand!—Savannah News.

Among the visitors at the pano¬
rama of Bull Run at Washington
the other day was a lady of striking
appearance, who seemed greatly in¬
terested in the picture of the fight.
When the lecturer began to describe
that portion of the battle near the
railroad track, and said, “the conflict
here can only be likened to features
of the battle of Gettysburg, and the
dash made at this point is said to
have equaled the famous Pickett’s
charge,” the lady seemed to take a
greater interest in the picture, and
when she turned to look at the lec¬
turer he recognized her as the wid¬
ow of Gen. Pickett, that dashing
Virginian who led the Coii3ederate
charge at Gettysburg. The lady is
living at Washington now, and her
name appears on the pay roll of the
Interior Departments a laboier.—
But Mrs. Pickett is not required to
do laborer’s work. She is assigned
to clerical work. She is a refined
and cultured woman, and is only one
among the widows of renowned sol¬
diers on both sides of the late war
who fill small places here.

Rosin’s Big Blaze.
Savannah News ofHhe 1 Sth.
I). C. Newton’s turpentine works
at station No. 1, ten miles west of
Savannah, on the Central railroad,
were burned yesterday morning.—
Two stills were destoryed and about
fifty barrels of rosin. The fire broke
out about 1 o’clock in tlie shed un<
der which the stills were built, and
is supposed to have caught from
Sparks from the furnace. The stills
had been in operation Tuesday af¬
ternoon, and a charge was drawn off
just before night. The fires, it is
supposed, were not extinguished, and
the flying sparks caught in the roof
of the shed and were fanned into a
blaze. * * * The loss altogeth¬
er is about $ 1,000. There was no
insurance. Mr. Newton will rebuild
his stills at once and will be ready
to resume operations at an early day.
