Milk Cows as Long as they Give
Milk —I have in several instances in'*
jured cows by trying to dry them two
or three months before calving. Bunch
es have come in their bags, and the
milk became curdy and thick, apparent
ly the same as in eases of garget. To
save cows from being spoiled, I milk
them twice a day clean and dry as long
as the milk comes into their bags, even
to the time of their calving.
As to Mr. Kimball’s neighbor’s cow
being spoiled by milking too long. I
think it was because she was not milks
ed enough. From my observation I
think many good cows and heifers are
injured and sometimes spoiled by not
milking them before they calve.
I have one cow now in my barn y fif
teen years old this spring, that I have
owned eleven years. She has never
been sick a day, nor gargety except
once when I tried to dry her two months
belore her calving; nor does she have
small calves.' I have a foursyear old
cow, one of her calves, that girths over
six feet, and a steer calf brought up on
one-half of her milk, that will be one
year old on the 28th of this month, and
kept since he was weaned same as I
keep the rest of my stock, that measures
almost five feet. T. R.
A New Industry. —The sweet potato,
used in various forms as an esculent in
making bread, as a substitute for coffee,
in the brewing of beer, as well as for
fattening farm animals, and is now be
ginning to be used in making a sirup
“far surpassing that of the beet, and
even of the sorghum, in deticacy of
flavor, while the yield is much more
abundant. The average product of a
bushel ot sweet potatoes —the yam
riety being preferred—is alleged to be
over two gallons, and as the aveiage
yield per acre, on poor, sandy soil, is
from 150 to 180 bushels, the product
must necessarily be from 300 to 350
gallons ot sirup. This must open in the
view of the piney-woods agriculturist
anew and more profitable industry, one
man, with a mule, being able to culti
vate at least fifteen acres in potatoes.
The residum, after the juice for sirup
has been extracted, is pronounced a
valuable edible either for man or beast,”

•“It seems to me that your people in
the cotton-growing States manage
somewhat strangely. Yon spend half of
the spring and all summer in fighting
and destroying grass, and when you
have succeeded in destroying it all, you
send clear away down to the State of
Maine and buy dried grass at a cost of
two cents per pound to subsist your
stock. Now, so nearly as I can judge,
your plauters do not make two cents a
pound net on cotton at thirteen cents in
your market; and thus a bale of Eastern
hay on your plantation will about offset
a bale of cotton in the pocket of the far
mer
“From what I know of Middle Geor
gia, X should say that you can beat
Maine out of sight making hay. Grass
don’t take a start in Maine till from the
first to the middle of June, and thus
before grass begins to grow in Maine,
you Georgians could scuff your barns so
full of hay and clover, at a cost not ex
ceeding an eighth of a cent per pound,
that you might afford to ship hay to
Maine, if Maii■.e would only consent to
pay t! e price for it which you pay.
“But if you will not raise hay, which
to the extent at least of your own ne»
cessities you can raise more profitably
than cotton, tell me, in the name of all
good sense, why you refuse to gather
that grass which comes in your corn
fields indigenously after the crop is laid
by and which is much better for stock
than the musty and falsely' packed stuff
which ordinarily comes to your mar
ket?”

We have had Jordan & Tapper’s Cotton Drill
at our place, we think it an excellent machine
both for cotton planting and distributing Guano.
In fact we will soy we have never seen any

the simplest, lightest and least liable to get out

upon the constitution. Those cured of Fever and Ague by it are left as healthy as if they had

AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL,
For the rapid cure of Cough, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, C roup, BronchitU ,
Incipient , Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive patience in advane
ed stages of the Disease.
Although this remedy has an immense usefulnes in .curing the milder forms of throat and lung
diseases, its crowning excellence is only seen when it is given for the formidable and dangerous afi>
sections of the lungs. In these cases take it under the advice of an intelligent physician,if you can,
that every piecaution favorable to the patient may be observed. But to those consumptive patients
who cannot have the advantage of medical attendance, we give the following general directions:--
Take abundant nourishing food, and healthy, but not violent, exercise. Avoid exposure to the
night air and to additional colds. If troubled with tedious coughing at night, take a large dose of
Cherry Pectoral on going to bed. Itwill, generally stop it, and afford sound, refreshing sleep.—
Wear warm, woolen clothing,flannel shirts and drawers next the skin, with warm, and always
dry, stockings. Rub the body morning and evening with a flesh brush or coarse cloth. When tho
appetite and health begin to return, relax none of the treatment whieh has brought them until you
are entirely well. Never attempt to force an appetite. Avoid salt meats, pastries and condiments,
and take your meals at equal, regular intervals. Shun the practice of eating little and often, for in
disease the stomache partakes of the debility of the body, and requires rest. Fresh meats, game
poultry, and fresh fish, with plain vegetables, rice, bread, milk, and weak tea or coffee, should make
up the diate of the consumptive invalid. Good porter is a spur to digestion, and rarely disagrees
with the stomach. Leave the appetite to roam over the whole range of healthy food for its selection
but deny the indulgence of its morbid cravings for what is injurous. Exercises should be taken
daily in the open-air, as for as the strength will permit. Avoid strong currents of air and fAcing
the wind, but above all; avoid getting chilled. While following carefully these directions, take the
Cherry Pectoral in such doses as shall be fonnd adapted to the system, and we hope, with you,
that a complete cure will be the result.
