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. -> > # > - Matrimonial Intelligences.. They had not been married very long but she had grown cold and listless, so one evening after she had yawed seventeen consecutive times, lie said: “You seem to he so cold and in¬ different, Maivania.

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. - —♦-* ♦ ----- What to Teach Our Daughters. Charleston Dispatch. At a social gathering some one proposed this question: “What shall 1 teach my daughter?” The follow ing replies were handed in: Teach her that 100 cents make a dollar. Teach her to arrange the parlor 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. Teach her to dress for health and comfort as well as for appearance. Teach her to cultivate flowers and to keep the kitchen garden. Teach her to have nothing to do with intemperate or dissolute young men. Teach her that tight lacing is un¬ comely as well as injurious to health. Teach her to regard the morals 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.” Teach her that music, drawing and 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.
