The Post. Master Generals Report.

Hon. Horace Maynard, the new post-mas-
ter general has submitted his annual re-
port Of his department. 1t begins with the
remark by Mr.. Maynard that as he took
charge of the department only on the 25th
Of August last, he speaks of it historically
and as he finds it, with little reference to
his own administration, which did not COM
mence until after the expiration of the ifs
cal year. He makes variety of recon-
mendations, among which are: The grant
ing Of subsidies for the establishment of
American lines of steamers to Mexican,
Central American, South American and
trans Pacific ports; reduction of fees in the
money order system; the establishment of
postal stamp system and also Of postal
telegraphs, which have proved successful
in other countries; the legal positions taken
by his predecessors concerning the power
of the postoffice department to exclude lot
teries from the use Of the mails, meets his
approval and he asks for more stringent
legislations to cripple the lottery business,
renews the recommendation of Postmaster
General Key that newspapers containing
lottery advertisements be deprived of the
privileges of the mails.

Turkey Fattening.
From the Farm.

From the Farm.
A nice plump turkey-most people have
a weakness that way-is what on many a
farm the young people Of the household are
now looking forward to produce. Turkeys
in few months will not be the least remun-
erative of the farm yard when properly
cared for and fed. In the majority of cases
in this country, turkey rearing hardly pays
for the large outlay in trouble and other
expenses. But they are undoubtedly profit
able to raise when reared on profitable prin-
ciples, which means plenty of food, care
and exercise. There is great difference
of opinion in regard to fattening turkeys,
but experience has shown breeders that the
best way to get the greatest number of
pounds of flesh is to feed the birds all
they will eat, right from the time they
hatch out till they are ready for market.
While they are running at large is the time
to develop them. They undoubtedly get
much food in the fields, the scattered grain,
the choppers" worms, etc., but then that
must be supplemented by daily or twice
daily feed of grain at the barn. Turkeys
cannot bear confinement, especially when
in small flocks or singly, and should never
be confined more than week or ten days
before killing. An ordinary rail pen is one
of the best for the purpose, for they like to
be on the ground. At this time feed prin-
cipally on cooked or soft food and plenty of
milk, if you have it to spare, giving occa-
sionally, hard whole grain to keep the flesh
solid and firm.

Profits of Clover,

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer gives
his experience with clover for hogs as fol-
lows: On the Goth of August of this year We
pounds to the head, for So. They were
classed as grassers by the shipper, not be-
ing at all fat. They lived from the first to
the last in twenty acre field stocked with
clover, red and white in about equal proper
tons. They consumed during their lives
only 1928 bushels of corn; the remainder of
their subsistence they picked up in the clo-
yer field. During May, June and July they
had no corn at all. About the first Of
August we commenced and fed them three
weeks on old corn, soaked twenty-four
hours before feeding giving them eighty
bushels in this way. At forty cents bushel
the entire amount consumed by them was
worth $171.20. Deducting this from 1854
leaves $282.80 to be credited to the clover.
This is at the rate of $14.14 per acre for the
years growth of clover, saying nothing
about the enrichment of the soil.

Pittsburg Iron and Steel.
G. F. Muller, in Harper's for Decemhar


One-twelfth Of all the pig iron produced
in the United States is wrested from the
glistening ore by the furnaces Of Pittsburg
and her immediate vicinity. In the matter
OF blast furnaces her record dates back to
1892, when the primitive structure erected
by George Anshutz sent it's smoke into the
clear sky, now darkened by the warm breath
OF fifteen huge furnaces, capable of produc-
ing half million tons of pig metal every
year from the ores that came from far and
near: And to further prepare this metal

Cultivation OF Tea.

The he ad Of the agricultural department
at Washington appears to he quite sanguine
of success in the permanent cultivation of
tea as domestic crop in our Southern
states, where the department has distrib-
uted seeds of ea-plants quite extensively,
with the most gratifying results. AS a
matter of course, if the Southern planters
conclude to turn their attention to this
crop with anything like the determined cn-
crgy displayed in raising cotton, tobacco,
corn, rice, sugar and other crops, they
may he expected to achieve Il measure Of
success. We should have supposed, how
ever, that this particular crop would succeed
better in California than in Ourgulf states,
as on the Pacific coast the climate is better
adapted to it, the soil more prolific than in
India and China, and the situation of the
country particularly favorable for tho in-
PRODUCTION of Chinese labor skilled in the
cultivation of the tea plant and the prep
aration Of it for use by the commercial
world. As, however, the prosecutions of
the Chinese in California have rendered
the experiment there apparently hopeless
for the present perhaps, the commissioner
of agriculture has acted wisely in attempt.
ing to utilize the peculiar plantation system
of the South for the successful naturali-
zation of tea in American agriculture.

Farmer and Gardener.
The Germantown Telegrsph's Advice -
Them.
Enrichlng Orchards.

Enriching Orchards.
ANY farmer who has been accustomed to |
raising apples and has beel uniformly sue |
cessful will doubtless say that II he ex-
poets to get good crops he treats the Or
chard as he does for any other crop-he
manures it, and he finds that manure
that will do for most other crops will do
for the crop of apples. 1t is the neglect to
manure orchards at all that causes them
to bear SO poorly and the trees to look IN
bad condition. There is nothing better
than wood ashes for orchards, If we bad
the ashes; but nearly everybody burns
coal except in certain out -the-way
sections. and We must therefore re-
sort to something cIss: Next 70
wood ashes there is no othe, fertilizer btt-
ter than barnyard manure. A liberal ap-
plication of this, if only once in three
years, with careful pruning and scraplng
Of tho trees, and ferreting-Out the b0rers
and all other insects which lay cohsealed
under the bark, will soon make . change
in the productiveness of the orchard. Oc-
tobcr and November are the best months
to apply the manure and to give the trunks
of the trees good scrapinG-of OF all Ola
bark. If the trunks were washed wltn
whalc-Oil soap, say one pound TO an ordt,
nary sized bucket of water, thcre' wouid
not he many insects left alive after the
operation.
American Tobacco.
Pennsylyania has become ono of HE
leading American states in the production
of tobacco. And as the crop is much
more profitable one t,tan many others TO
which our farmers turn Ji:cir attention IN
multitudcs from the mere folSe oi hao''
and association, we cannot say th3t VIC re,
gret this development. Before tho CIVIL
war tobacco was one of the leading sta
pies of American agriculture Oh account
Of the extent of tho Southern crop. But
war left the tobacco regions OF the
South SO devastated and ruined,
that rccuperation was extremely slow
and difficult, and in some regions
almost impossible. Nevertheless the
Southern crop has been gradually recO ver'
ing, and within the last ten years it is q H.
derstoOd to have made marked progress Il
some of the gulf states. Properly speak
ing, this crop ought to be one in Which
the American production should perma-
ncntly held the leading place in the worlds
commerce. The example set by Pennsyl-
vania in this respect is calculated to carry
weight with it in all parts Of the South.
For if good tobacco can he raised here,
much better ought to be raised in the
planting states of the South, and especi-
ally those of the cotton belt extending
from the South Carolina coast to western
Texas.
