FARM AND HOME.
THE WINTER BEFORE US.

We have taken some pains to give from
day to day such reliable information as we
could obtain, concerning the crops through
out East Tennessee. The protracted drouth
still existing in most of our counties will
make our corn crop some less than half
yield. The wheat crop we put down as
less than third crop. The oats crop is
not over half yield, and the late hay crop
probably very short one. These are the
main crops upon which our farmers rely
and their failure will render us largely de-
pendent upon other sources of revenue for
money for our current expenditures.
There is still considerable quantity of
bacon in the country, left over from last
years crop, but the market is now dull
and no great money yield is likely to come
from this source. There are q great many
hogs in the country, and as the cholera has
not yet made much ravage amongst them,
the prospects are that we will have plenty
of pork to offer this winter. The corn will
not be abundant for fattening, but we do
not think mast will be much affected by
the drought, so we can still rely upon
something to bling pork into market in
fair condition.
Our information is that there are more
mules, horses and cattle in East Tennessee
this season than ever before since the war
so that we may expect some relief in this
direction. Our fruit crop is fair one,
fewer apples than last season, but of peaches
an excellent crop. The season has been eX-
tremely favorable for drying, and if our
people have made the most of these advan
tages, we shall have an abundance of good
dried fruit for sale.
Our coal mines are yielding us a very
large revenue, much larger than ever be-
fore; our iron furnaces and other indus
trial enterprises have a reasonable pros
pect for fair demand for their products.
We have at Knoxville, and other points,
great public improvements under way,
and great deal Of building, all of which
fe8Td6S bt9}&fii circulate c. money and help trade.
clined to feel that the winter before us is
not to be as bad as many fear. We know
some fifty thousand dollars must 90 out of
East Tennessee for seed wheat we know
that yesterday alone -four from other States
was sold in our market by the car load
we know that these things, so soon after
the harvest season, look discouraging but
we know, too, that with the aaried re-
sources of our section, we can, if we put
our hands and heads to work, vet contrive
to produce i'll many ways that which will
bring us some money and tend to relieve
the stringency which threatens u.s. We
refer to this subject now to incite our whole
people to go industriOusly to work and
gather up on the farm, in the orchard and |
IN the mine, in the lumber regions, in the
mills and shops, on the rivers and rail |
roads, IN the towns and cities, every pro-
Duct that Will bring us revenue and trade, |
We need not be discouraged, for we have
the means within our reach to relieve us |
OF much Of our threatened trouble, and |
all that Is wanting is the s0W to do it,

Picking CUcumberS.

We find the following recipes published
as selected matter and uncredited in an
exchange. They are seasonble and we give
them:
No. l. Take cucumbers, wipe them clean,
and lay them into stone jars. Allow one
quart of coarse salt to a pail of water boil
the salt and water till the salt is dissolved
turn it boiling hot on the cucumbers: cover
them up tight and let them stand for
tWenty-tour hours; turn them into a bas-
ket 10 drain. Boil as much best cider vim
egar as will cover the cucumbers: wash
out the jars and put the cucumbers into
them; turn the vinegar Oh boiling hot ::
cover them with cabbage leaves and cover
them tight. In forty-eght hours they will
be fit fol use.
No. ,. Pick cucumbers each morning.
let them stand in weak brine three or four
days, putting in mustard pods and horse
radish leaves to keep them green. Then
take out and drain, covering with vinegar
Tor week; at which time take out and
drain again. putting in new vinegar, add
ing mustard seed, ginger root, cloves, pep
per ana red pepper pods, of each about
one or two ounces, to suit different tastes,
for each barrel.
The vinegar must be changed once, as
the large amount of water in the cucum-
Der reduces the vinegar 50 much that this
change Is absolutely necessary, and if they
should seem TO lose their sharp taste again,
add little mOlasses or spirit, and all will
be right.

Sheen in Snnih Cnrnlinn.

II. d. b. Newberry, S. c., gives his
experience in growing sheep, in the South
ern Cultirator. He says: 1.-THE first thing
/ did was to buy flock of the best ewes
that could get In the neighborhood.
then bought a good thoroughbred buck
and put with them 1.-THE ewes). As | live
near good market, | prefer to raise NUT
ton sheep, and for this, think the South
Down or African broad tails are prefera-
Bile. tried the Merinos-they are hardy
but very poor mutton sheep / have
never seen a fat mutton of that breed.
Their wool is fine, but short and nappy. /
had rather shear two sheep of any other
breed than one Merino. ft
"My plan is to raise early lambs, feed
them well, and sell off to butchers in early
spring. BY selling the lambs early, 1 get
q good price for them, as the old sheep of
the country are not fat enough for market,
and fresh meat is in great demand. To
raise early lambs, / have small grain lots
for the ewes to run on when the lambs are
young. Rye lots believe best not that
sheep are more fond of rye, but because it
grows faster after being eaten down than
any other grain. / also let my ewes run
on my oat field part of the time. | don't
think it Injuries oats to be lightly pastured
by sheep. / pen my sheep regularly every
night with my cows and count them so
that know when any are missing. L am
Delter aDie 10 save JHelT manure (which,
by the way, is the best manure made on
the farn,) and it also prevents the dogs
attacking the sheep at night. 1 put bell
on every fifth sheep, and find that the
constant tingling of the bells, especially
when running, is good preventive against
dogs and rogues. A friend writes me from
Virginia that strychnine put on pieces of
bacon and thrown,around the pen where
theep are kept at night, is cdpHalto keep
dogs from getting into the pens.
~ salt my sheep two or three times q
week, but a better plan is to keep salt lying
where they can get it whenever they want
it. This prevents scours, dirty tails, &C.
In lambing time, the sheep (ewes) require
good shelters and good feed sometimes in
very cold weather, lambs when first
dropped) get chilled and soon die, if some
thing is not done for them at once. My
plan is to battle in water as warm as will
permit the hand to be put in without burn
ing, and then rub dry with flannel cloth.
l also give teaspoonful of brandy or good
whisky in enough sweet milk for feet
q good shelter for the ewes in lambing
&C. think Indispensable. My eXperi-
ence as to profits is, that the wool will paw
more than the expenses for keeping, and
the increase and manure are clear profits"

PLAHTINGFALLB ULBs-The Gardeners,
Monthly says: "As soon in the fall as bnibs
can be obtained, they should be planted
though this will not generally be the case
till October-but it is as well TO bear in
mind that the earlier they are planted the
finer they will flower" The seedsmen
will soon be on hand with their bulbs
There have been extensive arrangements
made by them for the fall trade, and an
nouncements will soon be i'm order.
ANOTHER OPINION ONPLANTINGB BULBS
The Germantown ICiegraDh saws: f" In
setting out tulips be careful not to make
the soil too rich. Hyacinths require heavy
manuring-tulip5 not, or they will not
thrive well and produce inferior flowers
The beginning of November Is the best
time to plant bulbs generally

Tell-Tale Tomatoes,

"Where did you get them tomatoes ?''
asked an old Long Island farmer the other
morning, of a neighbor whose real estate
yielded a product of nil, and on which
there was not tomato vine.
His basket was full of very fire. riDe
specimens, which the farmer thought he
recognized. 1t wasn't the first time that
suspicion of his impecunious neighbours
honesty had arisen in his mind.
Where did you get 'em?"
Bought 'em."
WHO did you buy 'em off"
Bill Van Brunt, on Crow HILL"
"Ah let us look at your hands,
With his basket on his arm he held out
both hands for examination. "What do
you want to look at my hands for? There
aint nothing on to 'em."
The old farmer was washing his own
hands at the time in tin basin of rain
water, with a wooden bowl of curdled
brown soft soap before him.
mo; there amt nothing on 'em that
you can sec, ; but look a. here, set down
your basket and wash 'em. It's very cool
in, and your face and hands looks hot. -
80 saying, he emptied the basin, filled il
cold water, pointed to the soap dish and
relieved the bearer of his basket.
The first immersion and friction of the
hands in the water let the cat out of the
bag. 1t at once turned green; grew green
or and greener every second, and at length
was an intense dark green.
Here, Jim, said the old farmer to his
tow-headed son, take in this basket and
empty it, and bring it out agin." Then
turning to his honest neighbor, he said:
You hooked them tomatoes from my
patch not half an hour ago. Three or four
OF the top ones knew i'm IA minute. Here's
your basket -
If any reader Of the evening Post in the
country would test this discovery of a
theft let him pick one or two tomatoes,
separating the vines with his naked hand
and then wash it. There is a mysterious
something about the plant, perfectly color
less, that instantly impartes the green.

SOWING WHEAT AFTER OATs.-This is
very common rotation, but unless care is
taken TO thoroughly eradicate the oats self
soWn during the harvest, there is great
danger OF serious injury to the wheat. One
plowing will not DO this two at least are
necessary, Three ploWings we are certain
VIII pay Part of field that we plowed
three times gave us at least one-third more
wheat, and not a blade of oats was to be
seen, but where two Plowings only were
given on the remainder Of the field, the
oats were thick enough to seriously inter
iere with the wheat. Therefore our prac-
ice mas been TO give three plowings when
req the sowing week OF ten days later
Wheat will do well sown after the 10Th of
September but it should not 90 later than
the 10th. We would rather have it in The
ground before the middle of the month
believing that the more roots the plant Is
able to throw out, the better the chance of
tillering in the spring.

PREVENTIVE OF CHICKEN CHOLERA
W. A. g.. place not given writes us
that his mode of preventing chicken
cholera in his flock is as follows: "Inthe
iall or winter sell or kill off all the cocks
IN the yard or on the farm, and get Others
that are not related. / have tried this
method for years and have NOT lost - CHIEF

should hear no more complaints about
