FARM TOPICS.

FATTENING ANIMALS.-One of the
most profitable operations of the farm
is the feeding of a few animals for the
butcher. Afattening animal takes from
his feed nothing but the carbonaceous
portions, and these are of no value in
the manure; so that the value of the
feed used is nearly all returned in the
manure, leaving the gain in weight as
profit for the feed and labor. Or, to
put il in another way, the gain in weight
pays for the feed and labor, leaving the
manure as the profit. The value of the
latter is sufficient to satisfy any farmer.
But profitable as this farm work and
business enterprise may be, it is strange
ly neglected. This neglect arises from
many causes. There is want of the
capital needed in many cases, want of
enterprise and energy in others, want
of knowledge of the successful manage
ment of fattening animals, and the alb
sence of the necessary fodder. 1t is a
new thing in our system of agriculture
to many, but it is rapidly becoming an
indispensable means of successful farm
ing with a majority of farmers
Year by year the farms are becoming
less productive, if not in yield,
at least in the way of income, and the
business of farming leaves but little
cash in the farmers pocket at the end
of the year. There are few money crops
that can be grown now. After dairy
ing there is no other branch of agricul-
ture that promises any income of money
adequate to the present needs of
farmers family. The time is past when
the farmers wife and children shall toll
barefooted in the field, wear homespun,
and eat potatoes and milk by the light
of a piece of cotton cloth in a saucer of
lard or tallow. We have advanced in
civilization beyond that, and it is hap
Ply thing that it is so. Poverty, al
though 1t may be Independent, is not
conducive to proper self-respect, and
the farmer should be able to maintain
an equal position with that which any
other industry can afford, at the least.
As proprietor of real estate he should
be able to do better than that, because
he should be able to earn a proper
recompense for his labor, and interest
upon his capital besides. Just now
there are few farmers who are doing
this.
To effect the desired improvement in
their condition, it is necessary to in
crease the income from their farms.
This can hardly be done by growing
large crops, unless at the same time a
profitable outlet can be found for them.
If farmer doubles his corn crop, the
result is more corn thrown upon mar
ket already filed with corn, and the
price is reduced; so that the money re-
ceived for the enlarged crop is precisely
the same as that for the smaller one.
But if he can use the surplus of his corn
at home, or can raise his former yield on
fewer acres, and grow roots or other
feeding crops on the remainder, he
gains an advantage. It is in this way
that at least one measure of relief from
the present pressure of low prices can
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-11-28

be looked for. Let those farmers whe
lean, make practice of raising few
beeves for fattening, or fatten few
every year. The result will be an. in
creased supply of manure, which is the
equivalent of much money, and money
crop besides; and often this may be Sc
cured without decreasing the other pro-
ducts of the farm.
At the outset it is clear that there
must be provision made for growing
some feeding crops, for it would be idle
to talk now of purchasing food, when
one has to turn in many ways to find
the means of supplying present wants.
Our present system is to Craze our
breeves and to finish them on corn when
they are or years old or more; this
can never pay. The method is too cost
" and the time is too long. We must
be able to push the animal from wean-
ing and to make it ready for sale at 8
years old at the utmost. We can do
this only by stall-feeding; by growing
large crops of roots, and feeding these
with straw and some grain. Before oil
cakes were largely fed in Europe, beef
WIS 1LOtu
and straw, with occasional grazing.
Grazing, however, is equivalent to waste
of feed, for the muscular action uses
up flesh, which requires food to replace
it. Grazing, therefore, may be left out
of the question. We need roots, straw,
hay, corn, and not much of the latter
two, because the former will furnish the
means for producing flesh, and corn is
needed only to add the fat after the
frame is filled up. An animal taken
at six months old may be turned on to
grass for the first season, and fed'some
extra food, as ground oats and corn, in
small quantities to keep up thrifty
growth until the first winter, when q
bushel of pulled roots and chopped
straw, with two or three pounds of meal
a day, will add greatly to its weight I'M
til its second year; the same treatment
continued the next II months, doubling
the ratiOns or adding some hay, will
finish it for the butcher, and will pro-
duce meat of the best quality and flaw
or, if the best breed has been chosen.
Meat so made is far superior to the
linseed and cOtton-seed cake-fed ami
mails, which at present furnish the bulk
of English beef, and with which our
American beef, more wholesomely fed,
completes with success. We have now
an abundance of short-horn cattle,
which may be procured almost as cheap
ly as common cattle. Short-horn bulls,
in all but fancy points of pedigree, and
others non-essential to their intrinsic
value, can be purchased at very little
more than their value from beef; and
these animals, full of vigor and force
derived from careful breeding for gen
erations past, have the ability, when
crossed upon good common cows, 10
produce calves which will actually sur
pass the pure race in size and weight at
an equal age and with equal treatment.
With such opportunities. as are now af-
forded farmers certainly neglect their
interest if they do not add the feeding
of cattle to their other industries in as
large a measure as may be possible for
them.

FASHION NOTES.

-Crocheted petticoats of double
zephyr are shown for cold weather.
"A new fancy is to make side reti
cules of the same material as the dress
The handsomest velvet dresses have
no overdress, simply a basque and train
ed skirt.
A great deal of embroidery is seen
on vests, cuffs, collars and other acces-
SORES of the dress.
-Pinked, gathered and box-plaited
ruches are revived, and ruches made
bias and frayed at each edge.
Scotch plaid satins Of brilliant col
ors are being imported for vests and
trimming of walking costumes.
Bands of gay Scotch plaid around
the ankle are a new and attractive
feature of children's winter hosiery.
"A new style of overskirt is called
the Roman apron. 1t has a long,
straight front and row of flounces up
the entire back.
Five or six gathered founces
trim the back breadths of demi-trained
dresses, and the overskirts are shirred
upon the sides.
Very simple coi9ures are in vogue
in Paris, smooth, compact bands having
superseded braids, puffs, bangs and
frizzes.
Several rows of fringe ornament
the bottom of the front breadth of hand
some reception dresses, giving an unique
effect to the costume.
The skirt of the short walking
dress is made entirely round; not even
the edge must touch the ground, and
the back is made full enough for a pan
Ter.
Handsome new balmoral skirts are
of rose color, sky-blue, or scarlet cash
mere finished with a flounce edged with
torchon lace and headed by insertion.
The lately imported brocades are
very beautiful. Vivid rich hues pre-
dominate, and fern leaves, roses, pas
sion flowers and quaint rocco designs
are shown.
One of the most stylish winter bon
nets is the Louis XVI. 1t is neat and
graceful in form, trimmed only with
panache of ostrich tips, and two-toned
satin ribbon.
New wells of black thread net with
out dots are in mask shape, with the
lower edge pointed in sharp vandykes,
and stitched in four or five rows of col
ored silk to suit the prevailing color of
the bonnet.
Satin and brocade are the materials
most used at present for making hand
some dresses that will be worn also in
the winter. There are new heavy yet
soft brocades with The ground woven in
small armure patterns.
Dresses grow much more bouffant
in the back as the season advances.
Many costumes have the front turned
back in revers and plastron vest in
troduced, while behind is broad panier
puff, finished with bow.
An ancient fashion has been resus-
citated of reticules or bags carried on
the arm, by strings. Some of them, of
satin and velvet, are embroidered on
each side with monogram or initial
and a cluster of flowers.
The wearing of short dresses, which
is now becoming so popular, will per-
NIT ladies to carry muff during the
winter for use as well Us show. For
several winters past the long trains
worn have obliged the gentler sex to
grasp their dresses with one hand, which
as a matter of course, suffered
from the cold, while the other hand was
kept warm in muff
