SMALL FARMS AND BIG CRoPs.-Twenty
years ago the State of Mississippi, always ia
nous for its cotton yield, contained about
forty thousand plantations, averaging three
hundred and seventy acres each now she
has nearly twice as many, but the average
size is only half that of 1860. The number
of acres is less than in 1860, for scarcely any
rough land has been cleared, and some plan
tatons have been injured by broken levees,
and yet the cotton crop is about twice as large
rs it was in the good old times. No better
proof could be wanted to establish the deslr.
ability of decreasing the size Of farms and in
creasing the number Of owners but the les
son should be learned elsewhere rs we'll as in
the South Whole counties in the United
States are wretchedly poor because every far
mer is trying to handle "quarter section"-
l6O acres--with only enough capital and
working force to properly till a quarter as
much soil. A farmer with two bad horses,
two bad plows, a boy or two, or hired man.
can get no more money out of a hundred and
sixty acres of land than from forty, but year
after year he will try to do it and succeed on
" in getting poorer. The big farms of Cali
fornia have been the subject Of much envious
talk, but the class of California farmers, aside
from capitalists that make most money, are
composed of the men who have clustered i'll
colonies where scarcely sing estate exceeds
forty acres. Any poor farmer with a large
farm, would be better off, if he were even to
give away half his land, for then he would be
compelled to restrict himself to space that
could not yield him less, if worked at all
and would not put his pocket and muscle
to the ruinous strain that now they are en-
during.

Corn REQUIRED FOR POUND OF PORK.
For the benefit Of hog raisers we give the
following table, to show the quantity of corn
required to produce a pound of pork, and
the price of pork, which seems to be governed
by the relative price of corn:
When corn cost 124 cents per bushel, pork
costs l! cents per pound corn II cents per
bushel pork 2 cents per pound; corn 20
cents per busbel, pork 8 cents per pound ;
corn 35 cents per bushel, pork 5 cents per
pound corn so cents per bushel, pork 6 cents
per pound.
Whether these figures are approximately
correct or not, they will serve as basis, at
least, for careful culations.-Rurat World.

MILK FOR FArrENING FowLs.-What a
different taste fine, nicely and quickly fat
ted fowl has-when served on the table
compared with one which has been forced to
scratch for all its living, and then be con-
signed to the spit in anything but tit condi'
ton for food. Farmers realize the Importance
of fattening quickly when feeding beeves for
the butcher, yet many do not seem to realize
the fact that what holds good with that kind
Of meat is equally true when applied to fowls.
Tenderness and juiciness are the results of
fattening quickly, while mere ordinary flavor
and want of tenderness result from letting
fowls run until wanted for use on the table.
TO enable one to fatten fowls or chicks
quickly, it is absolutely necessary to give such
food as will accomplish the purpose best, and
to this cid We unhesitatingly recommend
plenty of milk, in any state, from fresh to
thick. This should be fed in connection with
a grain diet, for one counteracts any possible
deleterious influences of the other. If kept
in darkened place and fed unsparipgly on
milk with grain food, in the proper proper
tions, you will soon have something very
choice to set upon your table to your friends,
as we'll as to your family. When milk is fed
no water is required for fattening FOWLS

WHAT BREED OF PICS TO RAIsE-It is
impossible to answer this question !; (which is
the most profitable breed of pigs for the far
mer to raise2' Very much depends upon. the
system of management, nearness to market,
individual taste or fancy, etc. But there are
some general facts which should be under
stood in deciding what kind of pig to grow
in any particular case. Pig farming may be
profitable or a source Of loss. A few pigs of
almost any breed, can be grown on dairy
farm with profit, but when the number is in
creased, the piggery may become an expense.
1t is clearly determined by a long experience,
that pig pork is the pork that pays. Young
hogs marketed when year old are much
more profitable than older ones. This being
true-and it is especially so in the older
States-a breed should be selected that ma.
lures early and fattens quickly. The best
pig has the least amount of offal in dressing
is compact in its parts, and its flesh is of the
very best quality. Of such are the Essex
and Suffolk, and some other allied Small
breeds" One can "go further and fare worse
than to select the Essex for the piggery that
is to make profitable returns. There is some
prejudice against black pigs, but it should be
remembered that the color is less than skin
deep, and that the blacklist pig makes as white
dressed pork as any other. There is money
in pigs if good breed be chosen and proper
ly managed. The value of full blooded pigs
over the "grade" is strikingly shown when
pair of the former is taken into neighbor-
hood where only the common hog" was be:
fore. In few years the whole country round
about has had its swine improved, and its
pork interests enhanced. Grow your pigs
rapidly and market them as pigs rather than
keep them until they are old hogs. Pig pork
pays.-American AqricuHuraHst.

paign. OF the members present Is were

proceedings had no reference was made
to the President, no resolution Of SYM
pathy passed or words of coincidence
expressed upon his unfortunate condi-
ton. This was a strange oversight or
neglect on the part Of the official Republi.
can organization of the leading State Of the
Union. Collector Robertson innocently
says that he thinks the neglect was not
intentional, that the matter was not
thought of. This observation-disclosures was
very remarkables considering that the
subject is and has been the daily and
uppermost thought Of the public mind

LIMERICK, Sept. 6.-There we're further
riots yesterday. The soldiers who marched
up George street were stoned. They then
charged on the mob, dispensing it in all d.
rectlons. During the riots of Sunday there
was no resident magistrate with the po-
lice, n the riot act was not read. The
opinion IS freely expressed Thai the police
might have kept back the mob without FIR
ing. Subsequent to the George street al
tray the people armed themselves n at
tempted to decoy the police from the bar
racks by means of a false report that sew
eral persons had been killed. The strate-
gem failed, or doubtless there would have
been serious bloodshed. A large and ad-

TINE mErHoDIsrs IN LONDON.

Such a high autht rity as the London
Times designates the Methodist Ecumen-
ical Conference in London this week was
the most important meeting of that de-
nomination of Christians since the days
of Wesley. The vastness of the Metho-
dist membership is such that the meeting
of 400 Methodist delegates from all parts
of the world must deeply interest a great
part Of the civilized inhabitants Of the
globe. There are 25 branches of the
Methodist Church. their aggregate mem
bership being 1880, $50 persons, of whom
1891, 600 are in America. Half of the
400 delegates to meet in London this
week are from this side of the Atlantic.
The interest will therefore be very great
throughout the United States in the pro-
ceedings of the conference in London.
The body will have no legislative func-
ton, but will be in reality what it is in
name, q conference of Methodists from
all parts of the world. The association
of the distinguished men may do much
to promote a movement toward the or
ganic union of the % branches of the de-
nomination. The increase of Methodists
from IS, 900 to almost one hundred times
that number during the last hundred
years indicates a progress which may well
fill with rejoicing the Methodists who as

A Fatal

BOISE CRY, Dec. 2.--Robert Mckenzie,
one OF the best men Of this valley, while
coming down the grade this afternoon,
about FIVE miles from town, with his loaded
freight team, the brake gave way and his
wheel horse, which he was riding, fell,
drawing Mckenzie under the wagons nearly
lengthwise. One wagon, loaded with Z, 900
pounds. passed over him. McKenzie's
wife was here awaiting his arrival. They
were going East on a visit, for the purpose
Of putting their children In school, as
saon as he had delivered his freight. Nc
Kenzie lived three miles below Middleton
and was o well-to-do farmer. His wife
went to his relief, and he recovered enough
to know her and several other persons
after being taken to the nearest house, but
soon became unconscious, and In two
hours he breathed his last.
