dresses will continue Ia be made In coat
shape, but for warm weather they will
be quite short. reaching only half way
between the elbow and the wrist. Many
will have frills turned down, but the
richest dresses will have lace set on
like a cuff turning upward, and with
made of similar lace. and in the house
a bouquet will be placed in one corne !;

Of ribbon loops will take the place Of
the bouquet. For plain costumes the

No NEED EoR INSIDE FENCES
Theinterior fences OF farms occup
more space and cost more money,
than the outer fences, while they
are almost entirely unnecessary.
In the majority of cases pastur-
ing the cultivated land costs
many times more than the little
gain derived from it. The pas
turing Of moving lands, and
newly seeded stubblcs, as rule,
is very injurious, and when, I'M
der exceptional circumstances,
this is desirable, a temporary
fence, Of portable hurdles, might
be protitably used. 1t may be
beneficial to have a permanent
pasture lot upon every farm,
and where there is a roughish
piece of land, it may be SO used.
But it will be found tar more
profitable tof:nce small plot
in a convenient place for the
stock, and iced them there with
green-todder grown and cut
especially for. them. than to
make practice Of indiscrimin :
ate pasturing. with the necessa-
ry maintenance ofinterior fen
cling at a high cost.-Am. Ag-
riculturSst.

Exports of Farm Products in 1877.

The exports of wheat and
flour were less in 1877 than in
1870, notwithstanding the large
yield of 1877, owing to the high
rates maintained by the specu-
lators, and the holding back the
crop for increased prices by the
producers themselves. Should
the war in Europe soon close,
prices will probably fall. There
is, however, a notable increase
in the export of corn (nearly
. 100000 bushels), also in Rye
and Barley. There has been all
SO a considerable increase in the
shipment of Wheat and Flour
since January 1, as compared
with last year..

Spring Wheat.

Two years ago. / don't think
there was aadozen acres sown
in Spring Wheat, in this neigh-
aborhood. Last season there
was probably one hundred acres,
or more, which yielded aqual
to any wheat we had. This
season the crop will be more
than double while great many
ihave been unable to get. seed.
e 1t is a wheat that commends
itself to farmers here, because
1T conflicts with the cultivation
OF cotton less than any other, as
it is sown after the crop is gath
cred, and is not ready for the
reaper until late in June, Civ
ing ample time for working out
cotton. Other varieties OF
wheat require to be snwn in the
fall while farmers are very busy
gathering Their cotton
and corn besides the haryest
comes on IN May, or.the first
of June, before cotton has been
thoroughly worked! :: =.
! Although this wheat is Just
being introduced, it has been
raised successfully, for several
years in the southern part of
this county and several parts OF
Bell. where it is said to be a
great favorite. 1t is claimed
by some that there are two
varieties. known as the Child
rcss and Boshell. Others say
there is no difference between
them, except in name. Will
some farmer who is posted tell
us all about them, whether or
not they are predisposed torust;
how they compare with Medi-
teranean for Touring purposes,
and oblige many farmers here
abouts.-E Examiner and Patron.

Browning the Coffee.

To make good coffee, IT is es-
sential to have the coffee beans
evenly and sufficiently Drowned
or roasted, without burning.
They are spoiled roasted I'M
til black, but yellowish brown
is not right. a rich, dark
chestnut brown is the right
color. There are patent con-
trivances for roasting coffee, but
| have not proved their merits.
The beans should first be looked
over, then put into a spider or
dripping pan, and placed in a
moderately hot oven, or upon
the top of the stove. They
brown evenly with less stirring
if placed in the oven, than
when ever the stove, but this
advantage is offet by the danger
OF forgetting the coffee entirely
when ont Of sight in the oven.
1t must be stirred often.

FARM NOTES.

In planting trees the roots
should be dipped in water just
before planting. 1t causes earth
to adhere to them which will
give immediate support TO the
small fibers.
A Western flock master says
that the following is a cure Tor
sheep ticks: "Get one pound
of sulphur and put it into four
quarts of salt, and give in that
proportion to your flock once in
two weeks, and it will cure your
sheep not only of ticks but
scab. When the ticks and scabs
are gone, abate the sulphur"
Mrs. Brown says a milk room
must be kept dry or mildew
will appear on the cream and
thourghly spoil 1t for butter
making. A little mildew on a
board win faint milk quite as
badly, hence the necessity tor a
frequent use of hot suds and
soap on shelves, etc. | need
hardly state that nothing should
be kept in the milk. room In
the shape OF Vegetables and
meat.
Good growingis necessary to
good digestion and health of
horses and cows. The functions
OF the skin are very important.
The skin is an excretory organ.
as we'll as one which affords Gov
ering and protection to the
muscular tissues. Cleanliness
of the skin is as necessary for
the health Of horse as for that
of a man, The skin throws off
in.scalcsatbe used up portion.
and this dusty portion should be
brushed out of the coat. The
irritation byithe brushing slim
ulates the skin, and assists this
healthfnl action; but the ilrita-
ton should not be too severe.
A moderately hard brush is pre-
ferable to a hard, sharp curry

A correspondent OF the Yes
tern Farm Journal from Ken
tucky, writing in advocacy OF
high bred animals for the South,
makes this statement of a COW
owned by himself: "We have
now in our possession a thor
oughbred Short-horn COW which,
last summer on grass feed, gave
nearly four gallons Of milk per
day for some. considerable time,
and she is pronounced by all
who know her to be a splendid
beef animal. She is of medium
size, weighed at five years cid
1460 pounds. Her milk is re-
markedly rich, on trial made
producing one pound OF butter
from cream of eight quarts of
milk, which would be a good
record for an Attorney, and is
admitted to be extra for short
horns"

The Amezscan Farmer warm
ly advocates sugar beets as a
iced crop. The editor states
that lie is sure single trial will
convince the mast skeptical of
their worth. No kind OF stock
but relishes them and is profted
by their use as feed, They are
health-preserving aud altera-
tive in their effects, rendering
other feeds given with them
more nutritious and fattening.
cFrom three or four pounds OF
seed TO the acre is sufficient,
and this viii sprout quicker if
soaked in water and rolled at
terward in plaster to dry. The
most convenient plan for SOW
ing is with one of the many
patterns of hand-drills offered
by the implement dealers, which
make the turrow, sow and cover
the seed and mark the next
drill. The rows shoTld be from
two TO two and a halt feet apart,
and the roots should be thinned
out SO as to stand eight or ten
inches apart. The land should
be rich; deeply worked and
mellow. Well-rotted manures
and composts are good applica-
tons, as also are bone-dust and
snper-phosphate, though on stiff
soils long manure is an advan-
tage. Sow the seed early and
keep the land well stirred. For
the latitude of Mobile they
shonld be sown about the mid
die OF March-in Tennessee or
Kentucky from the LIST to the
10th OF April On good land
they yield enormously.

Hog Raising in Texas


Texas has greater facilities
for raising meat than any other
State in the Union, and still she
bnys yearly q great amount of
bacon shipped from the North.
This is sending money from the
State that can be profitably in
vested at home. Trne, Texas
ships yearly a great amount OF
beef, but this, is no arguement
against her raising her own hog
meat and also some to sell.
It may be said that outside
the timbered districts, where
there IS plenty of mast, that we
can't compete with, the North
ern States, we cannot produce
food for them as ,chcap.-This
Is a great mistake. Texas can
produce corn, potatoes and tnr-
nips equal to most any of them.
Besides she has a plant, viz; the
sugarcane, which they have not;
this plant is excellent hog food,
easily raised, will make two
crops a year. Hogs will do fine
uponit seven or eight months
In the year.
