Plain bran or ship stuff, says the Stock
Journal, is one of the very best kinds Of
food to increase the milk. 1t is not fat-
tening. A steer could not be fattened
on BRAN alone, and COW, if fed on the
best of hay and bran alone, might fall of
in her yield, unless her strength and cons
diticn were kept up by Indian meal or
stronger food. If there were anything
in which there would seem to be no
strength, it is bran, the mere hull of
wheat 1t is not stimulating, like brew~
ers' grains, and can certainly do no harm,
if it does no gooS and yet any farmer
who will make the experiment will find
or, at least, we have found-that cow
being otherwise kept in proper condis
ton, her yield of milk will be very cons
siderably increased by giving her twice a
day feed Of pure bran. The fact is pas
tent, although we are not able to explain
it If there is any one article, which,
while Keeping up the health and strength
of the COW, viii also increase tile supply
Of rich, healthy milk, in our experience it
is cotton seed cake meal. We have found
this to have a great effect on the milk-se-
creting organs. The cows at hrst do not
seem to relish it, and it should be mixed
with some other seed, but they soon come
to like it, and we have never seen any
had effects in auv Wav

Go,ain Tnon. Cotton GroWIng

Gossipping the other night upon the
probabilities and possibilities of cotton-
growing, an experienced and intelligent
planter in the circle expressed the opinion
that zone Of these days" more than four
bales of cotton would be raised to the acre
upon our poor pine uplands in Middle
Georgia The mOthOd he developed was
hrielythis: To raise the cotton plants in a
hot bed So rs to have them ready to trans

squares or hills, eight feet apart each way,
and have these hills excavated deeply
and widely, and heavily MANFRED. BY
early transplanting, the bolls would be-
gin to open in June and, in favorable
year, produce till November With two
stalks to the hill and fifty matured bolls
to the stalk, his calculation was that the
product would he seven thousand pounds
OF seed cotton TO the acre. But if one
were to judge by cotton patch we saw
this fall, with an average of about three
hundred bolls and blooms to the stalk
and add the condition Of five full months
fruiting time.it is difficult to tell what
would be the product Of an acre of cotton
under such conditions We should like

Seeding Potatoes.

1t is now generally knOwn, that Varie'
tics of POTATOES are locally good or To-
scally poor A quarter of century age
the "Ncw York Pinkeye" was the best in
the State of New York. And, at the
same time, The Mercer" was the best
throughout Pennsylvania. So new vari-
cites from seeds are generally best from
the location where they are raised. 1t is
therefore, of much Importance to raise
new varieties from seeds in all sections,
and then every section will have its best
variety, which can be, most generally,
cultivated by farmers.

FARM AND GARDEN.


A correspondent Of the ResterR R,irG
says that when he pereeives his horses
inclined to rub their names and tails, he
feeds them little oil meal say from ONE
to two quarts a day for a week OF ten
days, and at the same time makes a good
brine, as warm as he can bear hand IN
it, and washes the scaly substances out OF
the mahe and tail, and mixes about .
tablespoonful of lard to tablespoonful
of powder, and rubs it in well about the
roots of the name and tail.

Hanging Back.

Horses will be very commonly found
to do what is termed chang back in their
stalls, the moment the stable door is
shut and they find themselves alone; some
will even do this when persons are
present This is a habit that always ex-
cites the greatest ire on the part Of the
groom; the brOom-handle or fork
usually corrects this attempt, accom-
panied by swearing at the horse, and
sundry COMBINATIONS of always his eyes,
and frequently his limbs also We have
seen men insane enough to listen at the
door, or watch at a window till they
found the horse had committed this
heinOus sin, then rush into the stable,
and chastise him as numerically as un~
descrvedly. We might with as much
Justice punish 4 man because he moved
his person to get ease, when we had
placed him in a situation that rendered
his position painful; but if any man has
found that he could teach the generality
Of grooms to think before they act, he has
beenmore fortunate than we have in this
particular
The whole secret of a horse hanging
back is, that where the stall is much on
the decline from the maDger to the stall
hind post, standing on an inclined plane
causes his loins and and hind parts to
ache intolerably; he hangs back ia order,
if possible, TO get his hind legs beyond
the gutter, thus diminishing, by many
degrees, his standing up hill In good
and we'll laid stables, horses are not
found to acquire this habit; SO the cause
Of it speaks for itself, and ought to be i'm
mediately remedied The stall floor
should be perfectly fat from the manger
till itcomes within foot Of the grating
it should then have fall to it of half an
inch. by this, the fore feet of the horse
stand on quite level ground 1t should
slope IN the same degree foot each side
of the CRATE, and also foot behind it.
This istUre to make the wet made by the
horse run into the drain; and his hind,
as well as his fore legs, stand level

Giles county Wheat CIub.

A step in the right direction was taken
last week during the Fair by a number of
the leading farmers Of Giles county, who
organized themselves into an association
to be known as the GILES County Wheat
Club" of which A. NJ. Wilson was
elected President and Gas. J. McCallum
Secretary. The objeetDfthe association,
we understand, is to improve the quality
Of wheat and give an impetus to its cul.
ture in our "eounty, by having the diff
fercnt varieties and the different modes
Of culture tested by experienced farmers
to ascertain what variety and what mode
Of cultivation is best adapted to our soil
and climate Each member will select
some one OF more varieties of wheat and
SOW small plot Of ground and cultivate
it upon his own plan, and exhibit to the
club samples Of his wheat together with
a detailed statement OfhismOde ofculti,
walton, time and manner q Sowing, auan.
tity aRd variety sown, .pshld per acre
etc.
lin view Of the fact that our system o
labor is unreliable, and our lands in
great measure exhausted by the growth
Of cotton, 1T is high time that our farmer
were turning their attention to some crol
which requires comparatively little laboi
