What n Little Manure Will Do.

Take a field of corn, for example, il
fair order as to soil. With the soil un
der half the hills mix pint each OF
good manure, leaving half the hill,
without. We affirm that, on the aver
age, the MANFRED hills will give much
larger ears, more Of them, and much
more good corn and stalks, usually
fifteen to thirty bushels more per acre.
with no more cost for blowing, planting
and hoeing. The same holds good for
nearly all crops. The lesson we desire
to inculcate strongly, is, that every
handful or pint of good manure, made
and saved, will give good hill of corn,
large, full ears, in place of small ones
perchance only short ears or nubbins
or equivalent results with other crops.
The wise farmer who means to be q
successful manufacturer of crops this
year, viii give great attention to the

even sods, or loan for the purpose

Breeds OF Swine.

In discussing the merits of different
breeds of swine, John d. W. French, o
Andover writes The large breeds, such
as the Berkshire, are best for bacon, the
smaller breeds for pork If you want
pigs with good constitutions, which will
come to early maturity and weigh 200
pounds or Whereabouts att year old, take
an Essex or small Yorkshire boar and
cross him on some of the large coarse sows
with which the State abounds. Such
pigs will be good feeders, easily kept, and
will give the best average results for
pork and bacon. If real improvements
are expected, a pure-bred boar should
be used IS much as pure-bred bulls on a
herd of cows, whether the calves are
wanted for the dairy or the butcher.
The larger the SOW and the smaller the
boar, the more will the little pigs be
able to eat in proportion to their size,
and the greater will be their growth in
proportion to the food consumed. To
produce pigs merely for the butcher,
we should resort to crosses with a large,
vigorous and unpampered SOW put to
the finest thoroughbred boar of the
small breeds that can be obtained

The Hon. Edward Atkinson, in writing
upon cotton seed many years ago, said
that if a plant could be found that would
grow in a Northern climate producing
only seed without the fibre, it would be
one Of the most valuable crops.
PROGRESS N THIS INDUSTRY.
But little more than twenty-five
years ago the cotton seed was allowed to
accumulate around the gin-houses in
vast piles. a mere waste product, scarce
ly utilized at all. The full value Of the
seed appears even yet TO be little under
stood considering the great improve
ments that have been made in the last
ten wears, and that its manufacture and
sale are in its infancy, may We not ex-
pect that with its mere extended use
and the new processes that science may
develop, that the time is not far distant
when the value Of cotton seed may
equal the value Of lint taken from it.
If the planters Of the valley would
but adopt some Of the suggestions here
made 30 that half the seed that Is usual
" sold would be retained at home and
used for food and fertilizing, the portion
remaining could be sold at double the
prices that have been current the past
two years, and the great monopoly
known as the Cotton Seed Association,
which has 80 unjustly combined to fix
prices at such arbitrary rates, and thus
grow fat financially from the labor Of the
producers, would be broken up or in
duced to give a fair value for the seeds.

ton until justice and fair dealing is OBJ

As FOOD FOR STOCK.

The value OF cotton seed meal as an
article of food for stock is not appre-
hended by our people. 1t Is notori-
Gus fac, that nearly all the cake produced
by the Oh mill j. exported at great
expense for freight. insurance, etc, and
used as food for cattle, in foreign coun-
tries Yet planters will sell their seed
for a mere tride and with the proceeds
buy feedstuHs from the North, paying
for it. including freight7 and expenses,
many times the value of the seed sold,
and ger what Is of less value ii the seed
was properly prepared, and this, too, is
done almos al the very doors of the oil
mills. where the exchange could be
most advautagcously made. There Is a
great desire on the part OF planters and
everybody that cotton manufactures
should be established allover the South.
1t would be desirable. But if at the
small comparative cost linters and hui
lers should be attached 10 gins, and
with them cotton seed properly prepared
and when done fed TO stock on the
plantations, the country would be rich
er if only one-fourth OF the cost Of the
factories was incurred.
This country Is well adapted for
feeding stock. especially sheep, which,
