1t is not too much to say that all thought
full Northern men read with earnestness any
facts that may tend to prove that the South Is
showing signs of awakening proserity, and a
recovery from the blight that years of trouble,
mlsmanagement and villainy have imposed
upon It, One of the results of pernicious
systems has been the want of stability of pop
lulaion, which of itself would naturally pro-
duce current of similar evils IN all the nee
essary tributaries to prosperity. For instance
1t Is recorded that the census of 1860 showed
that of the white persons born in South Caro-
| lina 277, 900 remained at home, while 1913, 900
were permanently settled in other states; North
Carolina retained $4,000 out of 100000; Vir-
gina held 100000 out of 100000, and so
on. The recovery from the methods and status
of slavery is clearly showing itself, and fxi-
ty of population, increased facilities, incen-
tIves to labor and the confidence of capital is,
although slowly, nevertheless surely, redeeming
the South from years OF depression, and grad
ually displaying the possibilities of wealth
and prosperity in its broad and fertile acres.
AS to Immigration, few realize the extent of
the land lying unlmprovcd in the Southern
states while all have read of the fertility of
the soil when ordinarily cared for In Nir-
ginia, with an area of 9,9S0S71 acres, So per
cent is unimproved; in West Virginia, out of
5,94S 140 acres, SO per cent is lying idle; Ten
nessee has G5 10 per cent unimproved, out
of Il, 1877 ,936 acres; North Carolina with H.
576,66S acres has 73 $40 unlmproved and so
we might go on. The wonderful increase of
the cotton crops, due to free labor Is the most
telling argument in It's favor and is making
itself felt. Georgia is growing wonderfully
prosperous, and was never in better condition.
Her loans are quoted at SLIP in New York.
Virginia with her beautiful valleys and rich
soil holds out every inducement both to CAPT
tai and farmers, and a new squirt in railroad
building will undoubtedly invite immigration
IL IS said tina. in Tennessee, within two years,
1000 persons have settled. A giant stride in
the prosperity of the Southern states will be-
made when the confidence OF capital can be so
far commanded that the manufacture of the
raw material can be consummated at the
points Of production. In the matter of cotton
alone, the South itself is very hopeful, and the
abundance and excellence its iron, lumber cot
ton and sugar, guarantee a noble future. Itls
gratifying to be able to say with confidence
that the miserable gloom Of the Southern
past is melting INTO bright prospect for the
future, alike beneficial to the states comprised
IN the term, as to the United States as ma
tiOn.-Rdii,cdy R6Uielr.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Times re-

he says, his wife had a garden forty feet square

ferlor. The next year he put half barrel of
brine and half barrel of salt on the ground
and turned it under. That season watering
could be dispensed with, and the plants were
of unusual size and the flowers of great beauty
He also had some potatoes growing from seed
that wlted down as soon as the weather be-
came very hot He applied salt to the surface
of the soil till it was white. The vines took
vigorous start, grew to the length of three feet,
blossomed and produced tubers from the size
of hens eggs to that of goose eggs. HIS soil
is chiefly sand.

Grapes partly ripe are delicious preserved

The value of the practice of laying down
the canes of raspberries during the winter has
been illustrated In the experience of Mr.. II, II.
Burgess of Ulster county, N. Y, the present
season. The canes of the Highland Hardy
which were laid down, he says, yielded berries
at least four times as large as those which
were left exposed to the winters cold. From
other canes which had been laid down the
same pickers gathered twice as many basket
fuls in the same time, by actual measure, as
from these which had not been so treated. The
lesson is worth remembering.

The rage for bleeding fast horses is said to
be giving place among our wiser farmers to
the more rational ann of securing strong, heavy
animals for draught purposes. A good, big
horse" says a recent writer "will always sell
and farmers who raise such animals will al
ways realize Il handsome return for their care
in rearing them. Many years ago large pro-
portion of the farmers of Keokuk and Wash
ington counties, in Iowa. were induced to en-
gage in this line of breeding, and that section
now takes the lead, west of the Mississippi in
breeding heavy horses, to the great profit of
all concerned. There appears to be no limit
to the demand, and prices are always good.

According to DR. Brush, there Is Il marked
difference between the milk OF cudchewing
and that of mountaineering animals. The
milk of the former contains IA variety o.: caseIn,
which, under the action of the digestive pro
cess, coaguates into hard mass. The other
kind of milk, to which human, equine and
ASS milk belongs, does not coagulate into u
hard mass, but into small granular or tloccu-
lent masses, which are easily dtlusable. In
the milk of the cudchewers there is but small
amount OF sugar and large amountof casein,
while exactly the contrary is the case with the

latter Is better than cows milk for infants

BREEDING SwINE.-A brood SOW is usually
at her best as producer, in the number and
quality of pigs as well as in the secretion OF
milk, when she Is from two to three years
old. The number of pigs dropped at litter
will usually increase with each successive lit.
ter up to the third or fourth, provided the SOW
ls put to breeding so as to drop her first litter
when she is about a year old, as is the custom
with most breeders of swine. After the SOW
reaches four years of age her powers of gesta-
ton usually grow weaker, and she is much
less liable to save the pigs that may be dropped.
Like all other general rules, there are excep-
tons to this, but under ordinary circumstan-
ces we would not recommend the keeping of
brood sows by farmers who are raising hogs
for the general market after they reach four
years of age.-Nati0ndl Lire Stock Journal
