sEAsONABLE WINTERS.

A great deal has been written lately
about warm and cold winter in England.
A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, re-
ferring to this, has been consulting old
chronicles, and favors the readers of that
journal with few curious data of abnor-
NAL winter temperatures in Germany,
whose winters as is well known are, as q
rule, much seyerer than the English. In the
year 1910 the trees were in bloom in March
and cherries were ripe in May. In 1899
there was no winter, so to speak, and the
temperature was 80 very spring-like at
Christmas, that young girls decorated them
selves with violets at that season. In 1888
the gardens were green in December, and
in full bloom in January. In 1872 the
trees were covered with foliage in Februa-
~: the same took plAce in 1888. There
was likewise no winter in the years 1907,
1869 and 1913. In 1859 no snow fell, and
there was no frost. In 1912 people were
able to dispense with firing, and all trees
were in bloom in February. In 1907 there
was also almost no winter. The mild win
tiers Of 1884 and 1916 are still remembered
by many people. Even in higher latitudes
similar phenomena have been observed.
In st. Petersburg, for example, on New
Years Day of 1880, the thermometer stood
at deg. (Reaumur) above freezing
above.

sooner than one might believe, and Ten
nessee Ehea. growers are rather careless In
the matter Of burning and spreading this
valuable fertilizer over their farms. S
More than twenty years ago Mr.. Patter-
son of Maryland, told the writer that be had
expended fifty thousand dollars for lime
which be had applied to bis estate. This
practice has stood the test of seventy years
experience.
The county in which the writer publish
ed the GeneSee Farmer many years, re-
turned in the census Of 1910 over ], 400. 900
bushels of wheat; and we have been famil-
lar with wheat culture for more than a
half century. We viii not state how much
we have seen paid for first rate wheat
farms, and how easily the capital has been
obtained back from the sale Of this great
staple, when the price Of wheat was up to
two dollars buSAel and over. Land can be
50 improved as to bring from % to 40
bushels to the acre; and it pays to make
such improvements. Near the great falls
in Niagara county, New York, limestone
rock is about as conspicuous as in Davidson
county, near Nashville; yet, Judge Porter
and other wheat growers in Niagara, found
1t profitable to spread lime on land where
it was only two feet to lime rcck of IN
known thickness. We hope before many
months to be able to tell our readers how
much lime there is in q number Of the best
wheat soils in Middle and East Tennessee.
The subject deserves investigation; and
we intend TO bring the matter 10 the test
of reliable chemical balance. ---

DISEASES OF HOGS.

The Planter and Farmer gives these re-
cipes for the treatment of cholera, mango
and worms in hogs:
There are but three diseases requiring
treatment, which are mango, cholera and
worms in the kidneys, commonly called
breaking down in the loins. For mango,
wash well with ley soap and then hot liquor.
For cholera, If you know the disease, as
coon as you see the hog begin to droop and
try to vomit, gag him, and give him twenty
grains Of calomel made into q pill. If you
have been in the habi. of giving your b. gs
spirits of turpentine at the rate Of one table
spoonful to the hog, put it on corn, and you
will rarely be troubled with this fatal dis
ease. II the first dose of calomel does not
relieve in twenty -four hours, repeat the
dose. rarely have to repeat it if admins
tered in time. We sometimes see hogs
aging their hind legs. This is caused
by worms in the kidneys, and may be easily
cur by giving q TABLESPOONFUL Of turpen-
tine every morning for three or four days,
mixed with corn. Hogs which have been
feeding on acorns are more subject to this
disease, and should have the turpentine at
least twice a week while feeding on this
mast. Every hog-feeder should keep bot
tie of the spirits of turpentine, and give it
occasionally through the year. He will
find it of great benefit to bis hogs. have
practiced this for twenty years successfully.
1t seems TO be a specific for all hog diseases.

FLAX CULTURE.
From Coleman's Rural World.

What think you of cultivating fax for
seed2 What is The best mode Of cultivat-
ing, and what sort of land should it be
sown on? When should it be sowp, and
how much seed per acre? What is the
average yield per acre? When should it be
cut? Can it be cut with the common reaper,
and should it be bound and stacked as other
grain? Can the common whsat thresher
clean the seed out for market, and what is
the average price per bushel? When is the
best time to ship seed to market? Will it
pay better than oats, corn, rye or wheat?
REPLY-Almost any dry, rolling, moder-
ately rich land will produce good seed.
Moist, rich lands Vill produce longer straw.
The soil should be put in the finest posi-
bic tilth-one good deep blowing and sever
al borrowings; then it win be good plan,
to roll, thus presenting q smooth surface
for the reception of the seed. Sow as soon
in the spring as the land will permit-last
of March to middle of April. One-half
bushel of seed to the acre is enough, IL the
ground is well prepared. Cover lightly
with brush Or roller. Average yield, s to
II bushels per acre; should be cut when
the bolls begin TO turn brown and most
of the seeds have become dark and
hard. The common reaper or mower will
cut it; if raised for seed only, it need not
BEL bound, but raked up into gravels
and lie until dry, when it is ready for
threshing. The common thresher, with
slight alterations, will do the work of get
ting out the seed. II the fibre is made use
OF, the seed bad better be got out by the
fail or tramping, as the machine would
spoil it for use. There is market for the
seed at any time of the year. The present
price of seed is from SLIGO to S1.75 per
bushel. The fibre is used In this city for
manufacturing into bagging. The price of
well cleaned fax tow for this purpose is
about $50 per ton. There are machines
for breaking the fibre for sale in tLis city.
We are informed that the fibre comes 10
competition with jute butts; and at present
the latter is at very low figure, and as
a consequence fax tow has declined in
price,

Avert tl1e:Daueer.

The "etherial mildness'' with which poets
credit the vernal season is more an illusion of
the fancy than the meteorological fact. Early
spring in temperate climates is fearful time,
and the tears are usually too cool for health or
comfort. To avert the complaints to which the
fOgs and winds of the season are apt to give RISE
prude Ut people who believe IN the proverb that
prevention i5 better than cure" fortify their
stomachs and brace up their nerves and muscles
with HOstetter's Stomach Btters Those who
do this are wise, and are rewarded for their wis
dom by escaping the visitations of chills and fe-
yer, rheumatism, billousness, fatulency, con-
stipation, stomach complaints, &c, so common
in damp, inhospitable weather. To the less pru-
dent, who neglect this precaution, and suffer for
it, we would say, that the disorders which this
potent vegetable tonic prevents it also cures.

WHEAT CULTURE In TENNESSEE.

In recent article descriptive of the iron
and manufacturing interests of Chattanoo-
ga it was stated, on the authority
Of the Times, that 1900 bushels of
wheat arrived in that city in fat boats on a
single rise In the river, and that -four could
be manufactured fifty cents a barrel
cheaper in Chattanooga than in Atlanta.
This wheat was sold at $2.15 bushel; and
We take occasion to repeat what we have
before said in the UNIoN;AND AMERICAN,
that Tennessee farmers could proftably
raise twenty million bushels Of wheat a
year. Now is the time to go over all fields
of growing wheat with hoe, and dig up
every weed, brier, bit Of sedge, or brush,
that the young wheat plants may have
nothing TO contend with, but tiIler, extend
their roots and pro 'uce the maximum Of
grain. Nothing pays better than to top
dress wheat with rotten manure; and we
have spread manure fresh from horse sta
bles over wheat in March with profitable
results. We do not generally have our
wheat ground itch enough to yield large
crop TO the acre. Too little clover is raised
on our farms to fill the soil with its vslua-
BILE roots, furnish feed for stock above
ground, and the material to form thirty
bushels Of wheat to the acre.
Within the last hour we Lave seen two
men shoveling oyster shells into a five horse
wagon not many yards from the capitol of
the United States, which they said they haul
ed Is miles to their farm, burnt and spread
over their clover and wheat fields. These
men brought a load of hay to market that
sold ct forty dollars ton; and load back
with lime rock. There are not many
Wesern farmers who will haul unburut
shells or rock, Is miles to burn, and fertil-
lie the soil; yet, it pays large profit. We
asked these Virginia farmers If they knew
how much lass 100 bushels of oyster shells
or of unburnt limestone win weigh if burnt
before hauling SO great distance. They
said they did not. We told them that the
saving in weight would be A per cent; sc
that it was probably better to pay six cents
bushel for lime fresh from The kiln in
Washington, than to get unburnt shells, OF
limestone for nothing, Neither could be
burnt without expense when hauled Il
miles.

FARM AND GARDEN.
sAvrNe Usage oRANGE SEED

SAVING Usage ORANGE SEED.
20 A correspondent desires information on
che subject Of getting out Usage orange
seed. Cut the fruit open and scrspe out
the seed into a tub or bucket half full OF
water. Let the seed stand in warm place
TIL the pulp will slip easily as rubbed be-
tween the hands. A little rubbing, rinsing
and drying will give clean seed for market
or for home use. This seed makes 8 valu-
able timber tree, and it should be raised in
al permanent wood and timber patches on
be farm. A man who wants to raise wool,
sheep and goats, should have an Usage
hedge around his best sheep pasture that
will turn dogs, and trouble biped thieves TO
get over or through. Every orchard should
have high hedge on the west and north
side to break the force of our worst winds.
Our twisted, scabby apples, pears, ounces
and other defective fruits, result generally
from drying winds, followed by great hu-
mildly, mildew, rust, and other parasites.
We need more timber 10 soften our very
changeabie climate, with now a polar
wave for two or three days, cold as Green
land, and then wave from the south, het
from the equator to roast things as
in an oven. More trees, groves and hedges
ovar the surface of the country viii coun-
tersct these injurious extremes. We must
learn to 60 over less surface with the plow,
and do our work great deal better. The
system Of telling all primitive forests, destroy
Ing all timber, and opening the whole CONT
nent to the sweep Of fierce storms, an slterna-
ton Of floods and .drouths, extreme freezing
and extreme burning, is about played out.
This practice is strictly characteristic of the
age that follows Immediately after the red
man with his bow and arrow, and a Gu
rious flint head. The Usage orange is the
'fbow-wood" Of the Indian. 1t extends its
roots great distance; and 100 lbs. of its
leaves are worth some 500 lbs. of old field
pine leaves as fertilizers, and still more to
feed to cows or silkworms. For the latter
purpose there is little difference between
the mulberry and Usage; both should be
cultivated. The mulberry produces val
liable frui. for hogs. The pecan is pro-
ftaole fruit to raise on any farm. In few
years the United States will have one hum
bred million consumers of nut fruits, with
not half enough to supply the demand.
There are apple orchards in New York that
cover each 100 acres, land that the writer
knew when bought for three dollars per
acre, that now pay the interest of $1,000
per scre, taking 100 together. The best
Northern apples consumed in Nashville pay
profit OF more than seventy dollars per
acre to the farmer that raises them. Rails
ing walnut timber snd fruit pays big.
